Condensed:

The Dollar is the current dominant world currency.

The people enforcing dominance of the dollar depend upon maintaining control of the world Oil Market.

Without Oil the dollar will not dominate.

That is fact.

Read the link.

Enforcers of Oil/Dollar/Military Dominance cannot maintain dominance much longer.

Note: Dominance is also called Hegemony. Dominance and hegemony depend upon monopoly control of a necessity.

Example: If I owned the Sun and if I had a switch to turn it on and off, then, I could monopolize a necessity. I could charge people, make them pay me, to turn the sun on. If they do not pay me, then, I turn it off.

A stale mate can occur. Who needs the Sun more; me or you?

What is very bad for the Hegemony is competition and knowledge. If another person has a switch to the sun, then, he can charge less to turn it on.

If everyone has a switch for the sun, everyone “knows” how to turn on the sun, then, no one needs to pay anyone for turning on the sun.

The above is economics 101; my version.

Read the link. I can offer anyone interested a more detailed analysis of that current viewpoint of current events – News.

There is good news mixed in with the bad - very good news.

I’m going to be lazy. Rather than assemble new words in a particular order, now, I’m going to cut and paste from here:

What is capitalism?

 
Cut and Pasted:

Discover How You Can Improve
Your Fuel Economy By
21% or More...

And Slash Your Fuel Expenses
By $500.00 - $2000.00
Per Vehicle Each Year






Unit Base Price $247.00



Above is a competing device that turns Water into Hydrogen based fuel.

I’ve been ‘Banking’ on the HHO device since it is more efficient and it is, at this time, being Dyno tested rigorously in preparation for mass production and sale. The HHO device turns Water, using a device in the car, on demand, into a NEW, International Patents Pending, form of fuel that is both Hydrogen and Oxygen. The New gas, HHO, has unique properties including higher energy content per volume than Hydrogen which explains the doubling of fuel economy over the competitions Hydrogen from water unit.

This is better than turning water into wine.

Instead of a new market that increases drunkenness (not necessarily a bad thing) the new market will decrease, not if, the new market will decrease dependence upon Oil based fuel and therefore decreases the dependence upon a State commanded by Oil Industry agents.

As to Capitalism:

This new device has far reaching and exponential consequences once it becomes available on the Market.

The HTA company is now generating its first round of financing before going public (IPO) on the Global Stock Market this summer.

One event, or many serious events, can delay the growth of this new market. This new market may not expand, exponentially, reaching critical mass (think popular market expansion like a fad or fashion like the personal computer) as it could if no Nuclear War is triggered, on purpose, someone has to order the button to be pushed, in Iran.

Another serious event includes a Stock Market Crash triggered as a result of Iran de-linking their Oil from the Dollar.

These events involve Capital and the control of Capital or Economic Power.

Another serious event involves the Power over communication which is another Capital Power.
Here:
http://www.sundayherald.com/54975




IMAGINE a world where wars are fought over the internet; where TV broadcasts and newspaper reports are designed by the military to confuse the population; and where a foreign armed power can shut down your computer, phone, radio or TV at will.





“The Times They are a Changin’” Bob Dylan.

The Old Capitalists (Read Coalition, Oil, Military, Dollar Hegemonic Banking, and Political Power Base) are not fighting against “Terror” in the Middle East, as much, as their Power is threatened by the New Capitalists (Read China, Europe, and any other non Dollar/Oil Power base).

If this new technology (Turning Water into Fuel) is not capitalized by U.S. sovereign individuals (Read “by the people”), then, there is little hope in such Market Expansion being accelerated (let alone NOT being covertly decelerated) by the Old Capitalists, if the people do not capitalize on the new technology, then, the New Capitalists may do so.

The question then becomes:

Are you a New Capitalist?

The new technology is unique. It destroys much of the structure that contributed toward capital flow from the many to the few because the new technology empowers the individual.

Rather than a structure that depends upon centrally located Energy Sources (Read Oil wells, Oil Refineries, Electric Generating Plants – Oil, Coal, Nuclear, and, yes, Governments or States) the new technology empowers the individual people producing Energy from individual, and individual owned/controlled, sources i.e. Solar Panels, Wind Generators, individual HHO or Hydrogen gas Units in individual cars, trucks, trains, and, in the near future: individual home heating (including water heating) units.

The lynch pin is communication. Without the means to communicate there can be no interaction; no trade and no rapid world changing development of new technology.

Inclusive in the sphere of communication is money, language, and Networked Global information exchange mediums (Read: cell phones, computers, Ipods, Digital Cash, etc.).

Money becomes the obvious dividing factor.

The Old Capitalists have backed themselves into a corner. Their money, the dollar, will depreciate; no ifs, ands or buts.

Their power has been invested in Military Might (Read: Military Industrial Complex).

Their power is dependent upon the dollar which is dependent upon Oil.

The battle between Old and New is focused now, at this current time in human history, on Iran. If Iran de-links their Oil from the dollar, then, the Old will crumble; it will implode.

The question is: Who will go down with the ship?

Or perhaps:

Who will the Old Regime take with them?

Worst case:

Nuclear attacks from U.S. war ships into Iran. China responds - Total Global Nuclear War.



For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. Patrick Henry 1736-1799


Best case:

The new technology rapidly overtakes the Global Market and destroys the central Power Bases Globally. All costs of production are halved and therefore all prices are halved on a Global Scale. Sun Energy and Water Energy replace Oil Energy, overtake it, and reduce it to a State of relative insignificance rapidly. Human labor costs are reduced Globally freeing up resources on an individual basis allowing investment, individually controlled, toward individual wants and needs.

Example:
A person converts a savings account, retirement account, or other such capital storage medium into one $300.00 device that turns water into fuel. It is in place in his car next week. From that day forward that person reduces his fuel cost by half (or 21% with the Hydrogen gas unit). That person takes one unit off the shelf. The producer makes one more unit. The producer employs another worker. The producer purchases more resources to make another unit; on and on. The individual at the gas pump uses his savings to buy more groceries (beer or milk) at the convenience store. One six pack off the shelf; on an on.

That person could purchase a Stock Share with his savings. He or she could purchase a Stock Share in any of a number of new technologies that will grow rapidly because Oil Energy will be replace with Solar and Hydrogen Energy.

Think man; what is the return on investment for a savings account at 2% interest while Dollars are being printed at 6% interest (over simplification) the answer is negative 4% interest. What happens to the retirement account, in dollars, when, not if, the dollar devalues? What happens if the dollar Market crashes?
How much return on investment can be gained by purchasing Stock in an New Technology Energy Market?

Where will a person get the Energy required to heat his home, his water, cook his food, and power his vehicle, his power tools, etc. when the dollar devalues?

What if the dollar crashes?

Any person with a significant savings account can purchase one Solar panel that can power his home independently for about $1,000.00. The output on that one Solar Panel is small, good for a toaster oven, a computer, or some relatively minor power requirement. However, that one Solar Panel can reduce current costs of energy and the savings, in the pocket, can be used to purchase a second Solar panel. This is called investment. It is not savings. It will currently take 15 years of Solar panel investment, in this ‘reverse interest’ manner to become almost fully independent from centrally controlled electric energy.

Best case:
Human beings invest in New Energy Technology individually and do not wait for the “Powers that be” to kick “us” in the ass. They won’t.

If one person invests, no matter how little, then, one person will reduce his individual cost of living. If the Global population invests, no matter how little or great the individual investment is, then, the Human Race turns a corner in human history.

Somewhere between the worst case and the best case is reality. That reality will play out in the next 20 years. The current situation is somewhat critical if you invest in the time to look.

Communication helps. Free communication helps avoid Newspeak.

It was a saying of Daniel Webster that “if a thing is to be done, a wise man should be able to tell how it is to be done.” Stephen Pearl Andrews

In context:

http://praxeology.net/HJ-HG-SPA-LMD-2.htm

The demand for Bad News appears to be on the rise; appreciation for it.

The supply isn't quite sufficient; it seems.

In a sense; it is good news. Knowing is desired.

The demand for Good News is also in high demand.

A Google search can measure it:

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,740,000,000 for Good News.

That is an impressive number.

How about 'Avoiding WWIII'?

Results 1 - 10 of about 150,000 for Avoiding WWIII.

How about 'Regretting WWII'?

Results 1 - 10 of about 38,200 for Regretting WWII

Critical thinking is next:

Results 1 - 10 of about 125,000,000 for Critical Thinking.

How about "Improving the Survivability of the Human Race"?

Results 1 - 10 of about 11,900,000 for Improving the Survivability of the Human Race.

Good News wins!

A happy species may not necessarily be a durable one. I wonder why?

Oil from the beginning has been a government-business partnership, not an authentic free-market industry.

Third: We must remember that prices of all things go up because of inflation. Inflation by definition is an increase in the money supply. The money supply is controlled by the Federal Reserve Bank, and responds to the deficits Congress creates. When deficits are excessive, as they are today, the Fed creates new dollars out of thin air to buy Treasury bills and keep interest rates artificially low. But when new money is created out of nothing, the money already in circulation loses value. Once this is recognized, prices rise-- some more rapidly than others. That’s what we see today with the cost of energy.

 

If we want to do something about gas prices, we should demand and vote for greatly reduced welfare and military spending, a balanced budget, and fewer regulations that interfere with the market development of alternative fuels. We also should demand a return to a sound commodity monetary system.


 


Inflating the money supply causes higher prices.

Greater supplies of oil decrease the price of oil.

Fewer regulations that interfere with the market development of alternative fuels can increase the supply of alternate fuels.

A return to a sound commodity monetary system stabilizes prices.

Why not add things up?

Things needed:

1. Energy (Oil and alternate fuels)

2. Power (Currency)

3. Independence (Stability)

Three may not be obvious.

One and two are as plane as night and day. Without energy there can be no power. Without power the energy remains static. Sunlight is power - particle or wave - it really doesn't matter, to most, so long as the Sun continues to power the Earth.

Independence is just a little more difficult to see clearly.

What is needed is a little sunshine.

How about some more help?

http://www.lewrockwell.com/featherstone/featherstone57.html
From: Charles H. Featherstone
Ignorance combined with power, especially state power, is a problem.

That helps.

Power is not the problem. The problem is destrutive power.

Ignorance is not a problem if there is no politics, no war, no violence, no desire to exercise authority and dominion over others.

Ignorance about destructive power is not the same thing as ignorance driving destructive power.

The really confounding thing, at least for me, is that we do and believe all of these things at the same time.


Falsehood is the problem. Falsehood is destructive power. Duplicity allows a person to act without conscience. Who is to blame internally? The devil made me do it?

That is what happens when one individual is false, all alone, by himself or herself, and independently.

Add two, three, four and more false individuals together, armed with no conscience, and a whole lot of power, and whatever happens will be followed by a whole lot of finger pointing at no one. The fingers will point to a nebulous reincarnation of the devil. Osama bin Hitler State. Also known as Mr. Soviet Union. Alias Emanuel Goldstein (google Newspeak).

The power was released, and always is, at the individual level, as a direct result of an individual decision.

The problem is not independence. That is a fact. The problem is an exponential reproduction process when destructive power is added to destructive power, all powered by falsehood at the source, and, much to the human races disgrace, that union of destructive power is, and always will be, without conscience. It will not fix itself. The state is power used to destroy. Forever and always. It has no conscience.

Only individual, independent, human beings are capable of making choices. Independent conscience does exist. That is the source, at the root, of constructive human power.

Independence is not a desire or theory, rather, it is a fact. Power, the stuff that turns unusable energy into usable energy, comes from independent sources.

A moment on reproduction:

Take three different units. 

1. A human being

2. A roach

3. A Solar Panel

A human being can reproduce another human being. Two human beings can reproduce again. That is an exponential rate of reproduction.

Roaches are better at it.

Solar Panels can reproduce too.

Power can be constructive in nature. Power can be constructive in theory.

Having the power to turn theory into practical reality is a power.

An independent unit can use energy to make another unit. If that power is possible for that unit, then, one can become two, two can become four, and that power to reproduce is an exponential power; starting with one individual, independent, unit.

The power to reproduce is an exponential power.

Back to my favorite congressman:

new dollars out of thin air


An individual with a conscience will never attempt to create something out of nothing. That is not the same thing as saying an individual with a conscience will never create something out of nothing.  Regardless; it is false.

False on purpose or just plane false. Stupid, ignorant, duplicitous, irrational, clever, or whatever; it is false. Something arriving from nothing is a miracle.

New dollars out of thin air is not a miracle.

It is however a practice that must be, almost, the world's oldest profession.

But when new money is created out of nothing, the money already in circulation loses value.


That is not necessarily true. In fact; it is often false. The 'theory' does not account for the 'value' of falsehood.

Setting aside the motive behind the crime of counterfeiting the 'people’s' currency for a moment:

If "Uncle Sam" did print twice the amount of green paper notes called 100 dollar bills and then used that new money created out of nothing to finance nothing but Solar Panels to be given away to every subject currently held hostage here on this continent, then, what would happen to the value of the money currently circulating?

That one may be too complicated.

Just for kicks:



http://www.eia.doe.gov/fuelelectric.html


A guy or gal could get lost in there.

Switching gears:

I had my "planner" hat on; like playing the board game "Risk" where the player moves the pieces around in the endeavor to take over the world. A handy tool for promoting a measure of Empathy. One must put aside superfluous notions of moral concience.

Shifting back to overdrive:

"Planning" from the indivdual perspective of the average Joe citizen:

An agent of The State prints up the new directive and sends a copy to each subject in the Realm:

Note: I do not condone anything that agents of the State do: nothing beyond what I tell them to do and I have no power to tell them to do anything whatsoever thank God.

Joe gets the directive in the mail. It reads:

Hear ye Hear ye. Read the instructions and follow the law to the letter, ignornace of the law is no excuse, pay the price or pay a higher price.

A note on the higher priced something that The Sate can charge:

Not following the directive:

An order will be issued to kidnap the perpetrator. The perpetrator will then be offered two choices. Do as told or pay a higher price. That is called (a euphemism) Plea Bargaining.

The higher price:

Punishment euphemistically:

"Debt to Society" 

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=euphemism

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=euphemistically%20

The act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive: “Euphemisms such as ‘slumber room’... abound in the funeral business” (Jessica Mitford).

 adv : in a euphemistic manner; "his violent death was euphemistically referred to as a passing away"



In real terms:

Fine or imprisonment.

The value of the dollar will certainly decline by a certain measure. The 'debt to society' will be a deduction in productivity in proportion to the individual 'debtor's' decrease in production and or the cost of feeding, housing, and clothing (don't forget cable T.V) that 'criminal'.

Note: Does anyone ever pay off their 'Debt to Society'?

Too much wandering all over the map:

Suppose the average Joe citizen is a compliant one, a good citizen, a believer in the rule of law, no matter how absurd it may seem at the time, and suppose that citizen is not alone. Suppose all the citizens obey the directive.

Hear ye Hear ye

Instructions:

Take this blank check and make the appropriate calls (Home Depo for example) that result in my, errr your, home producing independent electric power converted from sun light.

E.D. standards listed (Evaluation Data). Turn in E.D. docs to the appropriate authorities (a new bureaucracy reproduced, borne, from the DOE).

The gears turn and by the date demanded, subject to late penalties, Joe has no electric bill. All the other citizens of the realm have no electric bill.

Now; what happened to the value of the dollar?

Are you scratching your head?

This may help:

Forget about the 100 dollar bills. The check, printed by Uncle Sam, is a blank check, the numbers on it are written as a total of all the costs paid out by the individual who follows orders. The individual pays the costs and then Uncle Sam files the paper somewhere to record the paper trail. That is it. It is that simple.

It can get very, very complicated, of course, when one tries to imagine who actually pays the cost. The fact is however, indisputable, that: Sun light turns into usable power at every citizens individual home in the realm.

Asking a politician to answer the question as to who does pay the cost is akin to asking a elephant to mate with a donkey; the results may be entertaining to some but to this individual the child borne will be disgusting and just as productive.

Note: I do not consider Ron Paul to be a "Politician". He is, in my opinion, a "Statesman".


http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=statesman

A man who is a leader in national or international affairs. 

So what has happened to the value of the dollar?

Note: Statesmen have a mode of behavior that recognizes the fact that human beings, including the Statesman, cannot know absolutely everything i.e. The Statesman knows that he too is a Human being.

Politicians pretend otherwise.

One leads to knowledge and wisdom.

The other leads to falsehood.

One is demonstrably productive.

The other is demonically destructive.

What doesn't make sense to this individual is why the voice of equity is not heard, rather, ignored by Statesmen. Equity is on the same road with Liberty. They are both as dynamic as justice (not to be confused with punishment).

I can figure out the reasons why a politician chooses to ignore equity, rather, confuses equity with equality; on purpose (read: with willful intent to deceive).

Anyway:

What happens to the value of the dollar?

Who cares?

Those who value the dollar?

Why not appreciate the conversion of energy from a less productive form into a current productive power, appraise that, over the depreciating dollar?

Particulars:

The blank check could be an instrument that credits the individual will a reduction in tax debt. That 'plan' would allow the individual to borrow the capital, the power, required to lube the gears into motion; resulting in the independent power house project.

Why not simply stop involuntary taxing all together and simply suggest to anyone wanting power independence that the independent power house project is possible, including all the details that prove the economy of the enterprise, and leave the decision up to the individual 'deciders'?

That, of course, misses the point of why The State exists in the first place.

Stepping back:

The State, in my estimate, is a necessary evil because evil exists. Hire someone capable of meeting the demand economically. Don't hire someone to become evil.

It really isn't that complicated. Hire statesmen. Some are better than others but ultimately they can be fired. The sooner the better.

Think of The State as Despotism insurance.

Government, on the other hand, is the check on the employee. The law of the land presiding over the madness of hired violence. The owner of the store. The employer.

One might ask: I need an honest employee that can be trusted.

One might conclude: If that supply is wanting, then, my job is to make sure the employee accounts for his every move. I want proof damn it. If you do something, anything, then, leave me no doubt as to the economy of your actions.

After push came to shove, then, the employee will stand trial and I, a member of the jury, will have all the power necessary to judge the law and the punishment.

The civilized thing to do, if that is what we find to be our fortune as employers, is to fine the perpetrator limited in cost to nothing more than the criminals ability to produce more than that individuals requirement to survive individually.

What about the sociopath?

Remember: I am the stupid one. However I do not hire sociopaths to lead me toward the extinction of the human race.

Hire the worst one to watch the second worst one and let them work out the details.

Where do I get the power to do this?

I don't want it. I've managed to avoid sociopaths for 47 years. Sociopaths are not my problem. My problem is his arrogant mob who are obviously infected with a severe case of falsehood. Poor things. I have a lot of empathy for them.

I want constructive power. There is plenty of destructive power in supply.

Anyway:

The individual power house plan does not address the point as well as the individual power unit that can be installed in each individual automobile.

More stuff on the individual power house plan:

Current electricity is supplied from central locations along paths called wires. Those wires are loads. Those loads are measurable. Those loads produce nothing and cost a whole lot of power; for no gain whatsoever. The power savings of eliminating the power loss spent on the load of wires, a considerable cost, is saved with the independent power house plan.

Damn there are a few more costs to calculate:

The industry of producing Solar Panels creates many more jobs.

Solar panels are getting more and more efficient; power output exceeds power input already and that ratio or rate of return on investment, per individual unit, is increasing.

Pay x and get x + y. It is a matter of time. 30 years time currently per unit. A power house Solar panel array pays for itself in 15 years now.  That leaves 15 years worth of new costless power. That scenario can be set into motion with a minimal capital investment, in dollars, at the current rate, of approximately 1000 units. I say approximately because time has elapsed since my last calculation and therefore the depreciating dollar hampers, costs more, whenever anyone endeavors to calculate any economic calculation accurately.


Third: We must remember that prices of all things go up because of inflation. Inflation by definition is an increase in the money supply. The money supply is controlled by the Federal Reserve Bank, and responds to the deficits Congress creates. When deficits are excessive, as they are today, the Fed creates new dollars out of thin air to buy Treasury bills and keep interest rates artificially low. But when new money is created out of nothing, the money already in circulation loses value. Once this is recognized, prices rise-- some more rapidly than others. That’s what we see today with the cost of energy.

Exploding deficits, due to runaway entitlement spending and the cost of dangerous militarism, create pressure for the Fed to inflate the money supply. This contributes greatly to the higher prices we all claim to oppose.

If we want to do something about gas prices, we should demand and vote for greatly reduced welfare and military spending, a balanced budget, and fewer regulations that interfere with the market development of alternative fuels. We also should demand a return to a sound commodity monetary system.

All subsidies and special benefits to energy companies should be ended. And in the meantime let’s eliminate federal gas taxes at the pump.




A standard, unchanging, measure of value will lower the cost of conducting commerce. Commodity money is valuable because it standardized the measure of value.

A better commodity, utilized, to standardize the measure of value will be the most stable commodity. That is why gold works well as a standard measure of value.

Gold is also a good commodity, utilized, to store value for the same reason; it is a stable commodity that does not fluctuate as much as less stable commodities.

The State has no business, as my employee, to enforce anything including what I choose to utilize as a standard measure of value, a store of value, or a currency.

That is called fascism. Nazi's were fascists who were particularly prejudiced against Jews. Who now has a particularly destructive prejudice toward Muslims?

My employee will not express their prejudice against any individual based upon anything other than an individuals propensity to express prejudice and when that business is done the 'winner' will go to trial and answer for their honest expressions if there is any doubt whatsoever as to the propriety of their expressions. If they refuse to go to trial, then, they have quit the job. No need to expend the cost of firing them and the new hire has a new job i.e. prepare to guard against that individual’s expressions of prejudice.

On to the automobile 'plan'.

All subsidies and special benefits to energy companies should be ended.

If the individual employees remain infected with their unshakable belief in falsehood and if the employers are similarly infected, as a whole, then the savings in costs realized as a result of ending all subsidies and special benefits to individual energy companies will not be returned to the individuals who produced those subsides and special benefits. That is a real shame.

Life is not a bowl of cherries.

Suppose then that a miracle does happen and the individual employees are somewhat less infected with their unshakable desire to express prejudice and those subsides and special benefits are given back to the people in the form of a blank check to be filled out and turned back in upon the successful installation of a new HHO gas, on demand, fuel production unit in each of the people's automobiles in the realm.

Don't even complain about how little the existing subsidies and special benefits actually are compare to the cost of installing a new HHO gas unit in each car now traveling the highways in the United States.

Don’t' go there please.

I'm trying to point something out.

OK, I give, put only as many units that can be afforded based upon the total savings accured by ending all existing subsidies and special benefits to individual energy companies.

The growth from that point will be exponential despite the lower initial investment.

And too:

I'm not so confident that the total savings realized by ending all existing subsidies and special benefits to individual energy companies would be less than the cost of installing a new HHO gas producing unit, on demand, in each car currently driving on the highways in the realm.

Time to put my average Joe hat back on:

I receive the order, from the false state, my errant employees, that demands the installation of a new fuel producing unit in my car. My neighbor doesn’t receive the order. We can't agree upon which of us is less taxed by the new situation.

That changes.

I reduce my costs at the gas station by half each time I fill up.

My neighbor is invited to a party of mine later on; as time goes by.

The matter is decided. He was taxed more than I. I'm not such a bad guy so I say "Hey dude" I can loan you my savings on fuel for awhile and if you want, then, you can get a new unit too. Just pay me back once the money starts rolling in.

What has happened to the value of the dollar?

Avoiding War With Iran




by Ron Paul


I'm busy reading the above and so the reader will have to do the same rather than depend upon my ability to cut and paste the important highlights.

Meanwhile here is an infomercial or two just in case the reader gets bogged down with Ron Paul.

President Nixon and his top foreign policy advisor Dr. Henry Kissinger were determined to establish diplomatic links with Beijing and ensured that their project would succeed by conducting preliminary secret negotiations with the Chinese. One could compare their policy to a powerful bulldozer running over all the obstacles as it pressed ahead towards the final destination.

President Bush and Ms Rice, on the other hand, resemble the exhausted and disoriented drivers of a broken-down vehicle who cannot operate the GPS in the car and who are not even sure what address they should be looking for. But driving around town for hours and hours they are relieved to discover a gas station where they hope to make a phone call and perhaps purchase a map. And who knows? They might even end up being on time for their job interview.

 

Art maintains the moral conscience of mankind and keeps us happy.

But I'm not sure that that is going to work out. So if I had to make a bet, I would put my money on the military-collision scenario taking place sometime after the Congressional elections and before Mr. Bush leaves office.
And then reality sets in?

Corporate war machine gathers speed

By Ismael Hossein-zadeh


There is strong evidence that as the Bush administration is mulling over plans to bomb Iran, the simmering conflict between high-ranking military professionals and militaristic civilian leaders is bursting into the open.

Beijing has a Geopolitics, Too

Although Washington seems mostly unaware of the dynamic — continuing to talk quaintly about “keeping the Chinese on board” for various U.S. projects to squeeze U.S. enemies as if China were still a provincial power whose only foreign policy concern was Taiwan — China’s geopolitics represents the fruition of the French foreign policy dream of a new “multipolarity” in the global system to contain and counter the influence of the U.S. “hyperpower.” The old assumption that China prioritizes its economic relationship with the U.S. remains true, but there are other priorities now, as well, ranging from competition for resources (particularly energy) to altering the geopolitical landscape away from the domination of international affairs by Washington and its often coercive policies.

In a new jointly written Weekly Standard article, Fred Kagan, the AEI think tank military genius behind President Bush's "surge" strategy, and Bill Kristol, one of the Chief Propagandists behind this war from the start, condemn Democrats for daring to question the military judgment of Gen. Petraeus, who agrees with Kagan and Kristol that more troops are needed:
 

The reason our foreign policy has been so incoherent, amoral and bloodthirsty is because the people behind it are. And until Democrats and other opponents of this extremist group commit themselves to stopping them and figuring out how to do that (and so far, at least, they've done neither), nothing will deter them in their insane militarism.

Strategic Errors of Monumental Proportions
 
By Lt. General WILLIAM E. ODOM (US Army Ret.)
 
Text of testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,18 January 2007

 

I discovered that the regimes that received the least US direct fiscal support had the most success against the insurgents. Providing funding and forces to give an embattled regime more "time" to gain adequate strength is like asking a drunk to drink more whiskey in order to sober up.

If it wasn’t about the oil in 2003, it most certainly is now.
 

 That something might mean for a more stable oil supply than competitive countries, or a return to the US dollar as the only currency for energy trading.  

The men who ratified the Constitution invoked words about “democracy,” while making sure that Black people, Native Americans, women and white males without property, were not represented at their Constitutional Convention. Patrick Henry and other “patriots” successfully argued for passage of the Bill of Rights, in order to make sure the federal government could not free their slaves under any circumstances, such as it did with some of the Black men who fought in the Revolutionary War.

Who We Are: When a group of 18 women ages 59 to 91, many of us grandmothers, tried to enlist in the United States military on October 17, 2005 The Granny Peace Brigade was born. We asked to enlist in order to replace grandchildren who had been deployed in Iraq unnecessarily. We wanted our young people to come home while they were still alive and whole, to have the same opportunity for enjoying a long life as we have had. However, we were denied access and were arrested and jailed. After a six-day trial, we were acquitted of all charges, which was an affirmation of the legality of non-violent protest. That was the beginning.

The World Can Halt Bush’s Crimes by Dumping the Dollar


by Paul Craig Roberts




 




This should be good!


 


 


 


If the rest of the world would simply stop purchasing US Treasuries, and instead dump their surplus dollars into the foreign exchange market, the Bush Regime would be overwhelmed with economic crisis and unable to wage war. The arrogant hubris associated with the "sole superpower" myth would burst like the bubble it is.


 


 



Think for a moment - please.

When the dollar is dumped (on purpose I might add) what will YOU use for CURRENCY?

Having power-independence will solve any of your currency problems but your power-independence will not solve your neighbors power-dependence problems.

Think about that and consider the wisdom of creating an over supply of power - just in case.

We just need one person to introduce the bill with courage, integrity, principles, and of course a safe seat.

 

 

As is very clear if you have been following the debate over the so-called ‘surge’ you have moral cowards and hypocrites like Senator Biden saying well we basically have to go along with the President because he has all the power. Which is ridiculous. Anyone who has studied the situation knows two things: One, the Congress has the power of the purse and can terminate the surge and terminate the war immediately if it so desires. I’m very happy to see Senator Feingold introducing his legislation to do exactly that. That’s what we need to support, not these cop outs by Senator Kennedy or what Biden is doing or Hagel or the rest of them. We need to cut off the funding. That was the way the Vietnam War, Cambodia, Laos Wars were all ended.

Second, building on the Nixon precedent, use impeachment: We need to pursue both prongs simultaneously. The same thing happened with Nixon. Congressman Bob Drinan, a friend of mine recently deceased, introduced the first bill to impeach Nixon over his bombing of Cambodia. So we have two prongs here, cutting of the funds, which Senator Feingold is starting and impeachment which must be started in the House. We need a member of Congress willing to put in bills certainly against Bush and Cheney and try to head this attack against Iran off, to do the best we can under the circumstances.

Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez and his Argentine counterpart Néstor Kirchner will launch drilling on the Ayacucho 6 block in the former country's Orinoco extra-heavy crude belt, Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA said in a statement.

 

 

http://english.eluniversal.com/2007/02/19/en_pol_art_19A836937.shtml

Kirchner is scheduled to arrive late Tuesday in Venezuela, where he is staying for 24 hours. His activities will be focused on projects related to the heavy-crude oil Orinoco belt. In this scenario, Venezuela and Argentina are to reinforce energy ties, as Argentine state oil firm Enarsa is to operate in the 55,000 km2 area with estimated reserves of 1.3 trillion barrels of extra-heavy crude oil, AFP reported.

Some of us remember 1970, Madam Secretary. And that was Cambodia. And when our government lied to the American people and said, “We didn’t cross the border going into Cambodia,” in fact we did.
I happen to know something about that, as do some on this committee. So, Madam Secretary, when you set in motion the kind of policy that the President is talking about here, it’s very, very dangerous.

Bush Faces Opposition on Iran Attack

That practice and the 24-hour window may help explain why several U.S. generals are pondering now how to stop Bush from blindsiding them with a new war. One of their tactics appears to be leaking indications of their strong opposition to the press.

FUNDING FOR AN ATTACK ON IRAN



 URGENT ACTION NEEDED



Last night, Rep. Pelosi and the democratic leadership decided to pull language from the Supplemental Appropriations bill which stated that no funds may be authorized for military operations in or related to Iran unless specifically authorized by the Congress.




 We DO have a chance to reverse this in committee, but we urgently need you to send action alerts to your constituents and make phone calls TODAY AND TOMORROW (TUESDAY, MARCH 13, AND WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14).

Please read the above while I quote words from further back in American history:

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others.

The AIPAC Girl

By Pat Buchanan

03/20/07 "CS" -- -- I
f George W. Bush launches a pre-emptive war on Iran, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will bear full moral responsibility for that war.


 


 

If Bush now launches war on Iran, he can credibly say Congress and the Democrats gave him a green light. For Pelosi, by removing a provision saying Bush does not have the authority, de facto concedes he does have the authority.

Bush and Cheney need now not worry about Congress.

They have been flashed the go sign for war on Iran.

Pelosi & Co. thus aborted a bipartisan effort to ensure that if we do go to war again, we do it the constitutional way, and we do it together.

Nothing in the provision would have prevented Bush, as commander in chief, from responding to an Iranian attack or engaging in hot pursuit of an enemy found in Iraq. Nor would the provision have prevented Bush from threatening Iran. It would simply have required him to come to Congress — before launching all-out war.

Now Pelosi has, in effect, ceded Bush carte blanche to take out Iran's nuclear facilities. It's all up to him and Cheney.

For this the nation elected a Democratic Congress?

The USA's Global Resource War



“The Epic Struggle for World Hegemony” 

By Nigel H Maund




 

Because of its failure to: adapt and reduce the massive over-consumption of and dependence upon resources; develop its rail and alternative infrastructure to roads; and the lopsided structure of its car and truck driven economy, the US has quite literally no other option.


 

That is false.

http://www.globalideasbank.org/site/bank/idea.php?ideaId=904

Above is an example of one 'other option'.

More examples of 'other optoins':

http://www.perfecteconomy.com/index.html

Above are a few pecuniary (currency) options, in comparison to the dollar, that expose the dollar as nothing more or less than a plague on human society.

Below is one of many current fuel alternatives:

http://hytechapps.com/

Below is one of many transportation 'options':

http://www.sonyclassics.com/whokilledtheelectriccar/

The decline and elimination of the dollar hegemony is inevitable; however - the only ones who stand to lose during its exposure as evil, its decline, and its fall are those who depend upon its falsehood.

Those who are injured by "it" ("it" being the people acting in support and profiting from dollar hegemony) will be free from it leaving a need to replace the vacuum left by that falsehood with a new and challenging opportunity for producing, investing, supporting, and maintaining accurate and true currencies of all forms; media, energy, language, and monetary currency.

 

Omissions added to error:

The wasteful policies and poor technology of a juvenile industry, combined with the rapid development of the US economy as the world’s largest by the mid 1930’s, meant that the US’s best oil fields were not exploited in the optimum manner to maximize production. The majority of these fields were over-pumped and ruined. By the end of WW2, during which the US had to open the oil spigot to the maximum to support the war effort in the US and UK, US oil fields were in steady decline having passed “Hubbert’s Peak”. The realization came home to Harry S Truman and Winston Churchill that the new oil “centre of gravity” was the Middle East. Control of Middle Eastern oil became vital to the global strategies of both nations, in the cold war era, as it was pivotal to the survival of their economies, political influence and the survival of the “free world”. 


Before and during WWII Standard Oil of New Jersey and I.G. Farben of German were companies of people who developed a method of synthesizing fuel. The process was called 'hydrogenization'.

That process created much of the fuel used by the Nazi War Machine and American business INTERESTS financed this market in Germany by purchasing the rights to NOT produce synthetic fuel anywhere else in the world.

Paul: Fortunately it always gets challenged; the unfortunate thing is that it’s always very late. We’re getting to the bottom of the truth. People spoke out in elections. Now there’s a different party in charge. There are going to be more investigations. But the real tragedy is that a lot of people die in the meantime. We finally found out that the Gulf of Tonkin was all fudged, and yet we lost 60,000 men. Now we have the misinformation, that’s a generous term, about getting us involved in Iraq. We’ve lost a lot of people, and literally hundreds of thousands are applying for disability. And it goes on and on.

To me, it is a real tragedy. The media, if they’re not in conspiracy to promote war, they’re not doing a very good job by asking questions. And nobody knows what their intent really is. Sometimes the media and big industry are very often the same company.

Food or fuel?


Today, developed countries are pushing to have fossil fuels mixed with biofuels at around five percent and this is already affecting agricultural prices. If this figure went up to 10 percent, 30 percent of the United States’ cultivated surface and 50 percent of Europe’s would be required. That is the reason Boonekamp asks himself whether the process is sustainable, as an increase in the demand for crops destined to ethanol production would generate higher and less stable prices.

            Protectionist measures are today at 54 cents per gallon and real subsidies reach far higher figures.

            Applying the simple arithmetic we learned in high school, we could show how, by simply replacing incandescent bulbs with fluorescent ones, as I explained in my previous reflections, millions and millions of dollars in investment and energy could be saved, without the need to use a single acre of farming land.


Simple math?

The following are sources leading to information on 'water as fuel':

http://hytechapps.com/

That is a florida based company where:

For vehicle manufacturers, power suppliers, and anyone who burns large quantities of petroleum-based or natural gas fuels, Aquygen™ is a fuel additive that can significantly increase energy production and efficiency while decreasing polluting emissions. Unlike other alternative energy sources, Aquygen™ is an evolutionary technology that requires minimal modifications to existing systems to produce tremendous benefits.

 

And:



  • The current prototype vehicle receives a net increase in horsepower and an average increase of 20 to 30 percent in miles per gallon.
  • The HHOS does not affect water or oil temperatures.
  • The HHOS can be installed with very little modification to a standard piston engine and so can be retrofitted on nearly any existing automobile.
  • Unlike a fuel cell, where hydrogen is stored at a dangerous 10,000 PSI, the HHOS produces Aquygen™ Gas on demand at less than 60 PSI.
  • Exhaust contains minimal emissions and no CO2. Next:

    Are you tired of the price of gas. Does it make you sick and angry every time the prices at the pump jump 10 to 20 cents each weekend. If you said yes, then you are not alone. Millions of people around the world are stuck paying these prices because they believe there is no way out. Well... this is what gasoline producers want you to believe.

    Here is the truth. There is a way permanantly save at he pump. The solution is simple, economical and eviromentally friendly. It's called oxy-hydrogen. Or supplmental hydrogen. It a nutshell, it means adding oxy-hydrogen (Brown's Gas) to your cars gas supply to increase fuel mileage, lower emissions and SAVE YOU MONEY! Not to mention we get to stick it to the man abit as well. Curious about how you can do this. Click here to read more about supplemental hydrogen, and learn how you can start saving on fuel today.

    Recycle water-base and oil-base liquids or liquid wastes into usable byproducts (including a clean burning cost competitive biogas known as magnegas, heat, coal, organic liquid fertilizer and other byproducts depending on the original liquid feedstock) without release of any contaminant in the environment, and without noise or odor pollution.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: The primary energy source of our Biogas Refineries is a new, very clean and efficient carbon combustion achieved via submerged electric arcs. Consequently, our Magnegas Refineries have a very high efficiency. In fact, the energy output of PlasmaArcFlow Recyclers Refineries is 4 to 10 times the electric energy used by the arc (depending on models and operating specs), the difference being provided precisely by the energy released by the combustion of carbon caused by the electric arc.

    Nevertheless, due to the very low efficiency of currently available electric generators (of about 25%), the use of the biogas produced by ordinary operations cannot reproduce the entire electricity used for the recycling. In this sense, currently available recyclers use electric energy to recycle liquids and or macerated solids by producing a clean burning, cost comp;etitive gaseous fuel

    Water and diesel hybrid.


    A company in Argentina has produced what would appear to be the first commercial hybrid water-gasoline engine. The engine works using 30% water and 70% diesel, and is already being used by the Las Delicias bus company in the city of Rosario and to power an ice-breaker 'Patagonia Ice Lady' the world's first hybrid ship.

    The technology was invented by two brothers, Sergio and Victor Solmi, and has been patented in 140 countries. The bus is an adapted Mercedes Benz. The company says its technology results in a 20% energy saving, as well as reduced emissions. The company can be contacted at

    Also on my web page, in #12, are videos of different vehicles using the components of water for fuel. These are not fuel cell powered vehicles with electric motors or are they fueled from a source external to the vehicle. The engines in these vehicles are conventional internal combustion engines running on the components of water. A device connected to a tank of water supplies fuel to the engine. One inventor has been running engines on water for over 30-years.

    The technology and resources exist, the political will for implementing is lacking.

Sharks came a week later and stole the the dune buggy and all of his experimental equipment, according to his brother, Steve. Stan said while he was alive, that he was threatened many times and would not sell out to Arab Oil Corp.s The Military was going to use this technology in their tanks, jeeps, etc. He had patents on his invention and was ready for production.

    Solar cell technology developed by the University’s Nanomaterials Research Centre will enable New Zealanders to generate electricity from sunlight at a 10th of the cost of current silicon-based photo-electric solar cells.
    http://masseynews.massey.ac.nz/2007/Press_Releases/04-04-07.html

    Think. If Solar Panels are currently capable of earning 200 percent more energy than the energy required to get them up and running now, then, how much more bang for the buck will the ratio be when the cost is reduced by 90%?

    The real idea behind the surge is to make it safe for Iraqi PM al-Maliki’s puppet government to sign over the rights to Iraqi oil to Bush and his friends. Bush’s promises of bringing Democracy to Iraq are just window dressing for seizure of Iraq’s natural resources.

    Now, why would actors in the market place do such a thing if it is utterly irrational and much more costly than investing in development? The answer is: free market thinking isn’t applicable. It isn’t possible to use free market logic to say such acts are rational or not in a market that isn’t free. The rationale for destroying competitors rather than advancement of self enters the market the same moment the State does.

    “In its territory, Venezuela possesses the largest reserves of petroleum of the world and the largest gas reserve on Continent; from the North Pole to Tierra del Fuego. We have the first gas reserve right here in the Caribbean, we want to share it with North, South, East and the West, but primarily with our neighbors and sister nations. It does not seem right to us that while we have so much gas and petroleum, there are frequent blackouts in Dominica. The North of Brazil does not have energy for its development, that Colombia does not have enough energy in the towns close to our frontiers, or in the Southern and Western parts of the country. Haiti does not have petroleum even for the electrical plants that provide energy to hospitals; nor does Grenada, these sister countries.  Venezuela has recovered its deep Bolivarian roots and rather than saying it, we want to demonstrate it actually by uniting together to be free ".

    In the real world, this is all politics, and political compromise will probably save Rice and the rest from, say, whiling away the month of May in the slammer. In the sort of world that lawyers like to dream of, however, refusal to obey a congressional subpoena can indeed lead to charges of contempt of Congress. From there, we can treat ourselves to a tour of a seldom-used congressional power: the power of each house to use its own sergeant-at-arms to enforce its own rules and privileges. It sounds quaint, but just think: Congress doesn't need a U.S. marshal to knock on Condi's door—it can arrest her all by itself.

    A few reminders: Iraq is not our country. Our invasion and occupation are illegal, being in violation of both international law and our own traditions. We were lied into war. We are still being lied to. Both the Bush administration and the Democrats intend to maintain American troops in Iraq indefinitely.

    So – at the time of Corsetti's trial a year ago, the assumption was that sexual assault was considered a permissible interrogation tactic in the absence of a specific prohibition. He'd used the tactic before while working at Abu Ghraib: With the help of two comrades he forced an Iraqi woman to strip.

    Why did he do this? Because he could.

    There was no “rule” against it, after all – apart from the law written on the heart by the Creator, that is. But Corsetti, as we've seen, had his own theology. And because he was permitted by his superiors to ignore the moral law, Corsetti finished his military career with an “honorable” discharge.

    He has since disappeared from public view. To me it seems likely he found a career in law enforcement, like his fellow torturer Samuel Franklin.

    Three years ago this July, Franklin, a senior detective with the Campbell County, Tennessee Sheriff's Department, presided over the prolonged torture of a pathetic small-time drug dealer named Lester Eugene Siler, who primarily trafficked in prescription drugs.

    At today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) asked Attorney General Alberto Gonzales whether any U.S. citizens are “being held today, for over a month, who have been denied habeas corpus or access to an attorney.” Instead of giving an answer, Gonzales replied, “[Y]ou’re asking me a question I hadn’t really thought about.”

    One War Criminal Down, A Fistful to Go

    By Paul Craig Roberts



    Because of Blair’s support for the European Union, Blair could find himself hauled before the International Criminal Court. The US government has been careful to keep itself outside international law. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and a number of others are regarded as outlaws, but there is no marshall with the authority to arrest them and hold them accountable. Only Congress can do that.

    If these people actually believe a presidential election a year-and-a-half from now will significantly alter how the country is run, they have almost surely wasted their money. As Andrew Bacevich, author of The New American Militarism, puts it: "None of the Democrats vying to replace President Bush is doing so with the promise of reviving the system of check and balances.... The aim of the party out of power is not to cut the presidency down to size but to seize it, not to reduce the prerogatives of the executive branch but to regain them."

    The Bush administration has changed the rules over record-keeping to prevent access to visitor records.  They've usurped the role of the Secret Service, which is covered by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).  Instead, Bush and Cheney claim visitor records are under their jurisdiction, thus exempt from FOIA.  CREW is not accepting that determination, hence our lawsuits.


     


    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/03/opinion/03sun2.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin

    The Associated Press reported that Mr. Cheney’s office ordered the Secret Service last September to destroy all records of visitors to the official vice presidential mansion — right after The Washington Post sued for access to the logs. That move was made in secret, naturally. It came out only because of another lawsuit, filed by a private group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, seeking the names of conservative religious figures who visited the vice president’s residence.

    Could al Qaeda Attack Trigger War With Iran?

    Analysis by Gareth Porter

    ollowing revelations of a George W. Bush administration policy to hold Iran responsible for any al Qaeda attack on the U.S. that could be portrayed as planned on Iranian soil, former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinksi warned last week that Washington might use such an incident as a pretext to bomb Iran.

    For six and one-half years the Bush Regime has relied on coercion, intimidation, war, and threats of war. Diplomacy and good will have been shunned. The regime’s blatant warmongering has resurrected the nuclear arms race. China and Russia regard America’s drive for world hegemony with great alarm. China has put nuclear ICBMs on mobile platforms to increase their survivability in event of an American attack. Russia has developed new multi-warhead ICBMs, which can penetrate any known missile defense, and new cruise missiles that Putin says will be targeted on Europe if the US persists in its aggressive military encirclement of Russia.

    Today the Senate Judiciary Committee passed an important bill to restore habeas corpus, the sacrosanct Constitutional right to challenge government detention in court, by a vote of eleven to eight.

    Two actions in particular have changed the Russian-US relationship from tepid to openly hostile. The first was when Putin announced that Russia’s four largest oil fields would not be open to foreign development. (Russia has been consolidating its oil wealth under state-run Gazprom) And, second, when the Russian Treasury began to convert Russia’s dollar reserves into gold and rubles. Both of these are regarded as high-crimes by US corporate chieftains and western elites. Their response was swift.

    John Edwards and Jack Kemp were appointed to lead a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) task force which concocted the basic pretext for an all-out assault on the Putin. This is where the idea that Putin is “rolling back democracy” began; it’s a feeble excuse for political antagonism. In their article “Russia’s Wrong Direction”, Edwards and Kemp state that a “strategic partnership” with Russia is no longer possible. They note that the government has become increasingly “authoritarian” and that the society is growing less “open and pluralistic”. Blah, blah, blah. No one in the Washington really cares about democracy. (Just look at our “good friends” in Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan) What they’re afraid of is Putin ditching the dollar and controlling his own oil. That’s what counts. Bush also wants Putin to support sanctions against Iran and rubber stamp a Security Council resolution to separate Kosovo form Serbia. (Since when does the UN have the right to redraw national borders? Was the creation of Israel such a stunning success that the Security Council wants to try its luck again?)

    We apparently no longer have the gene for political rebellion.  It has been bred out of most of us.  And those of us that urge a Second American Revolution are seen as fringe, nutty subversives.


     


    So what do Americans have – other than a terribly bleak future?  Where is hope in our dismal world?

     

    In a bizarre twist of history that further illustrates just how impotent Americans have become, virtually all citizens are either unaware of or unreceptive to the ultimate escape route that the Framers of our Constitution gave us.  They anticipated that Americans could become quite dissatisfied with the federal government.  They feared that the political system could become incredibly corrupted by moneyed interests.  They were right.

    So here we sit over 200 years after our nation was created unwilling to use what is explicitly given to us in Article V of the Constitution – the option to have a convention outside the control of Congress, the President and the Supreme Court to make proposals for constitutional amendments.  Do we really believe in the rule of law?  If so, then we should understand that the supreme law of the land – what is in our Constitution – is the ultimate way to obtain the deep political and government reforms to restore true democracy and economic fairness to our society.

     

    Make no mistake: an Article V convention has been stubbornly opposed by virtually all groups with political and economic power.  This is most evidenced by the blatant refusal of Congress to obey the Constitution and give us an Article V convention, even though the single explicit requirement for a convention has been met.  This fact alone should tell rational people that they are being screwed and oppressed.  The rule of law is trumped by the rule of delusion.  Our lawmakers are lawbreakers.

     
    Let's have a look at Article V before continuing the reading of this article? 

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Article+V 

    http://www.law.emory.edu/cms/site/index.php?id=3080 

    Article V: The Amendment Process

     

    The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

     

     

    Before moving on I am reminded of a quote from Patrick Henry:
    I smell a rat.

    That was in reference to the cabal of wanna be dictators pretending to be 'Federalists', you know, the one's who forced the Constitution (Slave Contract) down the throats of unsuspecting victims? 

    Words, words, words. What really matters are deeds. Be nice? 

    A revolution is now working and it is a nice one. There may be no good reason to push it along at any faster rate. What is also happening, unfortunately, along side the peaceful revolution are crimes against humanity perpetrated by powerful people in their effort to maintain their power. They, the criminals, are truly pathetic. Don't feed the trolls. 

    That is simple.  

    Can an Article V convention manage to sever the link between the 'legal' criminals and the people who only want to live and let live?

    If so, then, give it a go. If not, then, why bother?  

    A. Impeach every 'legal' criminal now and on into the future (the current example is Kucinich impeaching Dick Cheney). Sever the connection between the biggest 'legal' criminal and the innocent people first - move on down the list. 

    B. Start constructing and utilizing a more accurate currency. There is no law, on earth, that can stop people from this vital endeavor. This kills the power of falsehood at the root.

    C. Improve the 'law of the land'. I am, myself, convinced that this will require a move back to jury trials where each individual can veto any law during any test of law; however - a constitutional convention could focus attention upon this simple return to democratic equity. 

    I'll read the link further to find out if the person writing the article on Article V has something specific in mind when considering a change in the rule book (the one currently being ignored).


     

    Come learn more about the effort to get an Article V convention at http://www.foavc.org and become a member.  Do not keep witnessing the unraveling of American society, voting for lesser evil candidates, and believing the propaganda that putting different Democrats or Republicans in office will actually improve things for most of us.  Choose peaceful rebellion by using what our Constitution gives us.  Fight self-delusion.


     
    Research needed?

    http://www.foavc.org/

    ---- To refrain from supporting any specific amendment proposal that may be proposed at an Article V Convention.
    What is the point?

    More checks and balances for the sake of checks and balances? If the existing checks and balances are not working, then, why is the fix - more checks and balances?

    It sounds at least a bit dishonest to support something from no possition other than 'just because'.

    Is it me?

    How about looking for a specific gripe inspiring someone to bring about this check to balance against something specific?

    I suggest a reading of Common Sense (and Crisis) by Thomas Paine:


     


    http://www.ushistory.org/Paine/commonsense/sense2.htm


     



    To say that the constitution of England is an UNION of three powers, reciprocally CHECKING each other, is farcical; either the words have no meaning, or they are flat contradictions.

    First. — That the King it not to be trusted without being looked after; or in other words, that a thirst for absolute power is the natural disease of monarchy.

    Secondly. — That the Commons, by being appointed for that purpose, are either wiser or more worthy of confidence than the Crown.

    But as the same constitution which gives the Commons a power to check the King by withholding the supplies, gives afterwards the King a power to check the Commons, by empowering him to reject their other bills; it again supposes that the King is wiser than those whom it has already supposed to be wiser than him. A mere absurdity!

    There is something exceedingly ridiculous in the composition of Monarchy; it first excludes a man from the means of information, yet empowers him to act in cases where the highest judgment is required. The state of a king shuts him from the World, yet the business of a king requires him to know it thoroughly; wherefore the different parts, by unnaturally opposing and destroying each other, prove the whole character to be absurd and useless.

    You should ask yourself, What is the real motive of people who deal in lies? What is the real agenda of people who wish to paint Iran as a threat to the world? (Remember what a threat they said Iraq was?) Why, if the United States is really concerned about preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, has it steadfastly refused to endorse the idea of a nuclear-free Middle East – something Iran and the Arab countries have proposed time and again?
    Finally, of course, there is the matter of deterrence. Deterrence worked against the Soviet Union's 30,000 nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them. Anybody who says Iran would not be deterred from using a handful of nuclear weapons – assuming it even developed them – is a fool or a liar.
    Furthermore, Iran would gain nothing by attacking Israel, the U.S. or Europe. Americans might disagree with how Iranians choose to run their country, but that doesn't mean that Iran's leaders are insane. They are, in fact, intelligent and well-educated.

    "Democracy," aforementioned, now has us involved in another battle – a highly crucial one, I submit, and one whose players and motivations can be just as hard to discern in the fog of conflict, one in which the righteous may similarly be approaching victory unawares, even if the smoke and the shrapnel in this case are largely rhetorical.
    Considering the source; the above is truly good news.

    From one side of the fence (where aggression against the innocent is somehow justified = for their own good no less) anarchism can be a confusing reality if not completely foreign.

    When the underlying principle driving people on that side of the fence is indoctrinated falsehood, a conditioning to respond, conformity, adjustment, and just following orders, from that point of view, we, the people who recognized the nature of individual sovereignty, as a fact of life, like it or not, we must be something to fear – as – that is the conditioned response.

    Do as you are told – or else.

    Across the world, a dangerous rumor has spread that could have catastrophic implications. According to legend, Iran's President has threatened to destroy Israel, or, to quote the misquote, "Israel must be wiped off the map". Contrary to popular belief, this statement was never made, as the following article will prove.

    People? You cannot continue to claim ignorance.

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=No+more+legal+criminals


    The following is 'history':

    “The construction of I.G. Auschwitz has assured I.G. a unique place in business history. By adopting the theory and practice of Nazi morality, it was able to depart from the conventional economics of slavery in which slaves are traditionally treated as capital equipment to be maintained and serviced for optimum use and depreciated over a normal life span. Instead, I.G. reduced slave labor to a consumable raw material, a human ore from which the mineral of life was systematically extracted. When no usable energy remained, the living dross was shipped to the gassing chambers and cremation furnaces of the extermination center at Birkenau, where the S.S. recycled it into the German war economy – gold teeth for the Reichsbank, hair for mattresses, and fat for soap. Even the moans of the doomed became a work incentive, exhorting the remaining inmates to greater effort.”

    The revised war doctrine permits US first strike use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries. We need to ask ourselves why the Bush administration would blacken America's reputation and rekindle the nuclear arms race unless the administration had plans to apply its new war doctrine.

    Senator Joseph Lieberman, a number of neoconservatives, prominent Jewish leaders such as Norman Podhoretz, and members of the Israeli government have called for a US attack on Iran. Most Republican presidential candidates have said that they would not rule out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran.

    Madam Speaker: I rise in strong opposition to this resolution. This resolution is an exercise in propaganda that serves one purpose: to move us closer to initiating a war against Iran.

    Read the above and think - please.

    Those criminals are losing power by the minute. When they become desperate they will create another 911. They have two choices and guess which one they will choose?

    A. Create another 911

    B. Give up their power

    So the questions becomes: Where will you be when the next 911 occurs?

    Will you be close enough to burn to death?

    Will you be close enough to be tortured for the rest of your life?

    Will you be far enough away to ignore it?

    An Open Letter to America:
    "Now is the time for us to stand up and stand together"
    By Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr.

    My Fellow Americans:

    The power of our voices against the U.S. occupation of Iraq is reaching the top echelons of the military and the administration. Our government is persecuting Americans who speak out against the U.S. military presence in Iraq. The U.S. military has launched politicized attacks on its own military members and moral leaders who oppose the war to discredit their voices of dissent.

    We have seen them target Cpl. Adam Kokesh to stop him from exercising his freedom of speech, after risking his life in Fallujah, Iraq. We have seen them threaten Sgt. Liam Madden for publicly stating the legal fact that the U.S. invasion is a war crime according to the Nuremberg principles. They have targeted Cpl. Cloy Richards, a soldier put in the media spotlight when his mother Tina Richards worked to get him the health care he needs after returning from Iraq eighty percent disabled. These are not happenstance targets. These young men are leaders of the Iraq Veterans Against the War and they are speaking out in a strong and coordinated way.

    And now I have been targeted.

    Who am I? Many of you know me as a reverend, an activist, an architect of Hip Hop politics and a freedom fighter, but I am also an Officer in the United States Air Force Reserve. I have long been in the struggle for peace and freedom and I serve proudly as a leader of faith. I joined the military as part of the "poor peoples draft" - to help pay for my education. In May 2000 I was commissioned as an Officer in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and was accepted into the Chaplain Candidates program. In 2002 I graduated from Howard University School of Divinity, Magna Cum Laude. I was ordained a Reverend and Elder in the Church of God in Christ shortly after my graduation and today I remain in good standing in the Church. In May 2003 I completed the Chaplain Candidates program, but I decided not to pursue a career as a Chaplain in the Air Force. I have been in the Air Force Reserve Individual Reserve program ever since.

    On March 26th of this year I received notification from the Air Force that they are taking action to honorably discharge me on the basis of "behavior clearly inconsistent with the interest of national security." Ironically, this letter arrived six days after I announced the launching of a national "Make Hip Hop Not War" Tour at a press conference on Capitol Hill.

    On July 12, 2007, when I leave Robbins Air Force Base after my discharge hearing, whether I remain an Officer or not, I will be a leader always, and a patriot evermore committed to ending this immoral war.

    In February 2003 I felt the sense of urgency many felt in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq to speak out. Even though I was only a Chaplain Candidate and a 2nd Lieutenant, when I had the opportunity to preach at Andrews Air Force Base, the home of Air Force One, the message that I preached was "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" Since then hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of Americans have lost their lives and we now face a state of permanent warfare in our world.

    This moment in history is our generation's lunch-counter moment - Iraq is our Vietnam and New Orleans is our Birmingham. Our generation could be the generation to defeat racism, poverty and war, but only if we come together as people of conscience. In the movements of the 60's, solidarity among the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement was never truly achieved. As the "Hip Hop generation" - a generation where the sons and daughters of former slaves work side by side with the sons and daughters of former slave owners - we have the ability to bridge the gap and link movements for peace, justice, civil rights and the environment in true solidarity.

    We will not make the world safer - or achieve true national security - by starting wars that put our humanity at risk and we are certainly not making our country safer by intimidating veterans who courageously speak out. Policies that address the issues of poverty, racism, climate change, the economy and jobs are at the core of national security. I will continue to speak out against the war, seek justice for Katrina survivors, fight against racism, struggle for equality and advocate for a healthy planet. I hardly think that this sort of behavior is "inconsistent with the interest of national security."

    My brothers and sisters, opposition to this illegal war and occupation is not a cause - it constitutes a response to a state of emergency. It is our urgent responsibility to stop this war. According to the Book of Psalms, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." I know it looks bad now and our hope seems to wane and sometimes we want to give up. But, if we can all come together - black and white, brown and yellow, rich and poor, male and female, straight and gay, republican and democrat - whether you still love this country or are withdrawn in anger, not only can we defeat this war and restore justice and democracy, there will once again be joy in the morning.

    My mother in the movement, Cindy Sheehan, will be with me on July 12th at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia and I urge you to join me on the 12th as well. I also urge you to continue to increase your activism. This is our lunch-counter moment.

    There are no excuses. Responsibility is real.

    Look at Google, for example, on Impeachment.

    First the single word - Impeachment:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Impeachment

    Results 1 - 10 of about 7,890,000 for Impeachment [definition].

    Third one down from the TOP:

    http://www.impeachbush.org/site/PageServer

    Let's Make It a Million!
    902081 :
    the number of people
    who have already voted
    in the referendum
    to Impeach Bush!
    (figure updated daily)




    If you pay taxes, then, you are responsible for what happens to those taxes.

    Even when the excuse is that tax is theft. Even when the excuse is real. Even so - the wealth purchases torture and mass murder.

    http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-impeach5jul05,0,3983892.story?coll=la-home-center

    They also said that Bush--Cheney policies precipitated torture, illegal spying on American citizens, and the curtailment of privacy and civil rights in the name of fighting terrorism.

    The latest irritant was the president's decision to commute the prison sentence of former Cheney aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, whom a jury convicted of obstructing justice.

    "Isn't it ironic that Paris Hilton will spend more days in jail than Libby?" said De Lear.


    What is ON TOP on Goggle for TORTURE!

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Torture

    Second link down:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_prisoner_abuse



    That is the 'public' access version.

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17393.htm

    Ask someone who was sent to spend your wealth in Iraq if your wealth is being invested wisely. See if you can detect the slightest hint of internal turmoil. War is terrible. War for oil, for money, for power is terribly bad - EVIL.

    Why?

    Why let it spread even further?

    Human beings (almost all of us) are born with a conscience - don't kill it.

    At least sign a petition or at least stop paying taxes to Evil people who lie, cheat, and steal for torture and mass murder.

    History doesn't rate Evil people according to the number of people tortured and murdered. People using their conscience make sure the numbers count.

    How much wealth of yours went to Bush/Cheney and the Neo-Convicts? How many bodies are yours? Even if your wealth managed only to torture one person, even so, what would you say to that one person when you meet?

    Sorry isn’t going to cut it.

    Fox News is becoming notorious not so much for what they report on the Iraq war, but what they don't report. Whether it is by design, or suggested "talking points" from the Bush White House, Fox News has done an end run around some of the biggest news stories coming out of Iraq. To the trained eye, the way Fox News avoids the bitter truth about Iraq is all part of a scheme to divert attention away from the realities of the Iraq war. In the spirit of being "fair and balanced," we have done a round-up of SEVEN stories Fox News overlooked in their headlong rush to again trash Bill Clinton, or dredge up any type of tabloid news story that will help keep Fox News viewers in the dark about what is really taking place in Iraq where there are still over 160,000 U.S. troops.

    The 105th Congress’s impeachment of Bill Clinton was an elitist backlash to pummel an Arkansas poor-boy for dethroning the patriarch of the ruling class. Unfortunately, the 110th Congress conforms to the same eliticism, refusing to impugn the progeny of that same ruling class. The collapse of our democracy is in no small part due to the ideological similarities between the Republican and Democratic parties, fueled by cronyism and mutual corporate ties.

    Sadly, Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic Congress will rue the day they took impeachment off the table. By disregarding the wishes of The People and making no effort to impeach Bush and Cheney, Speaker Pelosi will go down in history as the Speaker who permitted the most corrupt Administration in American history to perpetrate its crimes. She has secured her legacy as the spineless leader of a spineless Congress that defied the Constitution and sanctioned Bush and Cheney’s lies. The 110th Congress and its Speaker have become enablers, accomplices and accessories to the crimes.

    The bottom line… Bush and Cheney have eighteen months left to their term. During this time they are capable of many more egregious crimes. Congress’s failure to initiate articles of impeachment for Bush and Cheney’s criminal acts is a breach of Congress’s Oath “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic.” If Pelosi and the 110th Congress do not uphold this Oath, they have secured their rightful places alongside Bush and Cheney as enemies of the state.

    One final note: Members of both the House and the Senate have stated that impeachment is certain to fail. Let it be known that if the current Legislative Branch doesn’t make an honest attempt at impeachment, they have already failed.

    But If they make an honest, heart-felt and diligent try, even if they fail, at least they have done their job.

    A controversial new Middle East oil law could lead to the “disintegration” of Iraq as a nation state. Two of the region’s most respected commentators, including the co-author of the new Iraq Oil Law and a former oil minister, have each expressed their “gravest concern” at what they believe could happen within their country if the law is approved in its current form.

    The media has tried to downplay the gravity of the situation by focusing on the personal aspects of the Putin-Bush relationship. But this is intentionally misleading. Putin did not go to Kennebunkport to win-back Bush’s affections or for sensitivity-therapy. He went to see if he could change Bush’s mind on an issue that could quickly escalate into a nuclear standoff.

    Cindy Sheehan, the famous Peace Mom who recently expressed her intention to run against Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, says there's a "distinct possibility" that America will be hit with another staged terror attack that will allow Bush to enact the martial law provisions he recently signed into law.

    The lack of media coverage is surprising considering the fact that the U.S. Dollar is registering all-time lows against other currencies, there are fears of a U.S. Dollar collapse and institutions like the Bank for International Settlements are warning of a possible global depression.

     

    The depression is the end desired by those who control the supply of currency. Why can't this be understood?

    Any despot, King, or "President" can increase or decrease the rate of commerce by a change in the supply of currency. As it is now that power is held by a private corporation. If the dollar is going to fall, then, let it.

    Supply something better. Convert any dollar denominated store of wealth into something other than a dollar demonmiated store of weath sooner rather than later - THAT IS WHAT THE WEALTHY WILL DO.

    That is the plan, the end, and the desired outcome. The people who have the power to control the supply of currency have the power to transfer wealth from everyone to them.

    That power will change from the current holders of that power to the new and dominant world power. If you lose your lifes work of wealth, then, what do you need to start over?

    The same damn thing - Credit.

    Trust.

    You need an accurate currency. The criminals make the currency innacruate on purpose. All that is needed is an accurate currency.

    Their power is false.

    See it sooner; rather than later.

    In linking this I find reason to be more responsible concerning this link. I want to set something up for the reader before the reader views the movie file.

    Imagine an unexpected situation. Imagine opening a door into a hallway that is between you and where you expect to go and in this case you happen upon a 15 year old kid who you find on your way.

    The kid is in the hallway so you must account for the kid in some way. You must wait for the kid to finish what the kid is doing or you must push the kid out of the way to get on your way. You can also turn back and find another way to get to where you are going.

    Now watch the video.

    Such events could take a number of forms.  As even diehard Republican Patrick J. Buchanan observed on July 17, with three US aircraft carrier battle groups in congested waters off Iran, another Tonkin Gulf incident could easily be engineered to set us at war with Iran. If Bush’s intentions were merely to bomb a nuclear reactor, he would not need three carrier strike forces.

    So, having said that, we have dark days in front of us. We have impending climate and economic disaster and on top of that a political military issue, the so-called Shield. There isn't hardly a person in the world who believes it is against Iran. It is a part of a policy started in 1996, counter-posing against each other, on the one hand NATO and AMPO (the US-JAPAN arrangement), and on the other hand the SCO countries, the biggest alliance in human history: the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, with 6 full members and 3 observers. The 6 members are China, Russia and four of the former Central Asian republics, excluding Turkmenistan. The three observers are India, Pakistan and Iran. Together, it's about 50% of humanity, confronting a relatively small country called the United States of America, with only 300'000'000, not a very impressive size these days. Those bases are for the coming war with SCO, that's why they are there. Have a look at the analysis of the length of the runways and you will see the purpose behind them. 
    Let me come back for a second to the idea of pulling out, which in my mind is such a bad idea that we could expect it from the US. What it means is that you pull out so that you don't suffer any humiliating defeat. You make yourself unavailable for defeat. I can understand the reason, it is not difficult. The 30th April 1975, the humiliating defeat in Vietnam became a major trauma. To avoid that situation is the priority of course, pulling out better than to continue killing, but, I just think one should call a spade a spade, and no way I see cut and run as peaceful action. We shouldn't, I would say, contaminate the concept of peace with cowardice, trying to "save face" after having killed 750'000 so far. Multiply that by 10 for the bereaved--the persons who feel the loss of a friend, a spouse, a brother, a sister, a child, a parent, a colleague, a neighbor--multiply 750'000 by 10 and you have an estimate of the hatred that has been created. Add to that the 4 million who are displaced, some of them among the 7,5 million I just mentioned; and add to that the psychosis induced in the high number of US military who have been to Iraq; and add to that the about 25'000 wounded who have come back to the US and you may probably add 10% of them dying. The definition of a person of the US army personnel killed in the war is that he dies in Iraq, that means "Put them on the plane get them to Walter Ried as quickly as possible, don't let them die in Iraq". I am not saying that to get somewhere closer to realism when discussing this enormity. 


     
    From global capitalism as it is operating today, we can expect no solution to these problems. So let me then add the kind of approach that I, as one person, would advocate; taming capitalism, by introducing at the same time about 14 other types of economies. In other words, it is a little bit like the thinking about energy: we don't say an unconditional no to hydrocarbons, but we introduce 6, 7, 8 other methods. The energy profile becomes complex. Time does not permit me to get into all 14, I'll not do it, some of you have the manuscript and the book A Life-Sustaining Economy is close to completion. The point I am arguing is a pluralistic economy. There is no single formula that covers all the alternatives, and the pluralistic profile must be adjusted to the preconditions in space and time. 
        From the plans that have emerged it looks as if the 100'000 targets have been identified in Iran. These targets include not only some nuclear arrangements, but the total military infrastructure of the country, that means any kind of center of command, naval points, air bases, anything that has to do with missiles. But that would only amount to one half of the 100'000 targets, the other targets would be anything that has to do with civilian infrastructure in the sense of railroads, airports, roads of course, sewerage, bridges, canals or watering, electric power plants, anything that keeps the civilian population going. Starting at 5 am some morning, 100'000 targets, in association with Israel. As far as I understand the Iranian counterattack will be considerable. I don't know, but I could guess there could be dirty bombs inside the US, ignited by remote control. Only an idiot will use missiles. They will of course use totally different methods. So I mention it as an example of what we may be facing. 
      But leaving that point aside, I think China is one of the least likely successor candidates. On my list, candidate number one is the European Union. You need a sense of universalism, China has nothing of that. They are still convinced that it is surrounded by barbarians. They are willing to buy quite a lot. The annual global income is 54 trillion dollars, and China's reserves are more than one trillion. The US currency reserves right now amount to 47 billion, which is nothing. That means when you want 100 billion for more fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, you have to take more loans. That they get those loans is something still a little bit strange, but they do pay something in return, namely access to the US markets. So, having said that, a likely successor is the European Union, very universalist, with the 11 major colonial powers all members, and all concerned about their part of the world. And they are willing to say "I'll not protest if you do something in your part if you'll not protest when I do something in my part". It is European political common market. There is much more to the European Union, but this is one important aspect. 
     In a regional world we do not have any guarantee for peace. As a matter of fact, the country that will benefit most from the decline and fall of the US Empire will be the US Republic. They may start sleeping well at night, and they might use their enormous natural and human resources for innovative projects and their capacity for cooperation, all of that, for better purposes, and make a decent country out of the USA.

    I sent the following to Mary and Kucinich:

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18047.htm

    Mary,

    Peace has to be won; wrestled from our own criminal tendencies.

    The link above may be difficult to digest. My strong suggestion is to read it.

    After that one, then, read this one:

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18048.htm

    If our world will turn the corner, so to speak, it will need new blood. I mean this in a literal sense. Our species depends upon interconnectivity; like a circulatory system. Our currency is our blood.

    Clearly, without any question, our current currency (the fed dollar) is a disease upon our society, where, our livelihood is drained from us; leaving us anemic.

    When our species does turn the corner, again, it will need new blood; a transfusion.

    This is almost too simple.

    A new currency produced by a universal law (that doesn’t even need enforcement) can transform a dying social structure into a thriving one.

    Step one:

    The new currency can be used to pay taxes

    Step two:

    The new currency can be borrowed interest free to pay off primary residence mortgages.

    Step three:

    The new currency can be borrowed at 1% interest (financing the production and maintenance of the new currency) for home energy production loans (Solar, Wind, hydrogen, etc.).

    Step four:

    The new currency can be borrowed at 2% interest (more revenue to maintain the new currency) for vehicle purchases other than petroleum dependent vehicles.

    Step five:
    Defaults on loans increase personal currency costs i.e. Just like current credit ratings where interest rates increase for people with a history of failure to pay back loans.

    If you have read the first two links and you find my comments to be somewhat less important, then, please reconsider the analogy between a human being and human society; both need blood.

    Currency in society is necessary for society to incorporate three things:

    1.
    Specialization

    2.
    Division of Labor

    3.
    Economies of scale

    Without those three things working in any social structure (even a simple family) there can be no survival of that social structure. Without those three things we are all ‘on our own’, where, everything we need, everything under the sun, we alone, individually, must produce our selves.

    Currency is required (even a very inefficient barter currency) to create and maintain those three things. Currency is society’s blood.

    No matter who is in charge of society, the law makers, the executers of law, the judges, no matter who, there must be a currency flowing through society. Without a currency flowing through society, just like the human body, parts will die.

    When the dollar crashes (the infectious dollar) there must be something ready to replace it.

    If the ‘leadership’ doesn’t know this, and isn’t prepared for this, then, it isn’t leadership.

    We are digging our own graves with the current currency, and yet, if that current currency drains out of our society – we die – unless a transfusion of new blood is ready for immediate transfusion.

    Individually, if you look at this, we can begin to get our transfusions flowing, just as described above, by paying off our mortgages, producing our own power at home, and investing in alternate energy consumption.

    Peace must be won; it isn’t given.

    Strategic Foresight

    Call it a conspiracy theory or maybe just call it strategic foresight, but I see a frightening setup taking place. I see a strategic positioning of pieces. A closing in of a trap, and at this late date, there is little room for escape.

    If current directions do not change, the ONLY prognition that ANYONE could make, is that come August we will be at war.

    Sadly, I wrote about this 2 years ago. And many warned the public years ago.

    The darkest part is that the war with Iran and possibly Pakistan, will equal the horror of the complete dismantling of the Constitutional Republic here at home.

    The great experiment will come to an end.

    Checkmate.

    I also * foresaw a silver-lining, perhaps this will happen as well.

    Feingold: Censure Bush, Cheney for 'their repeated assaults on the rule of law'



    David Edwards


    "Censure is about holding the administration accountable,” Feingold said in a press release sent to RAW STORY. "Congress needs to formally condemn the President and members of the administration for misconduct before and during the Iraq war, and for undermining the rule of law at home.

    A grandiose plan to link Europe's electricity grids may recast wind power from its current role as a walk-on extra to being the star of the show

     

    The Dollar needs help. When the competition invests in producing more power, then, the dollar power will decline.

    It is that simple.

    Invest in Power-Independence now or be dependent later.

     
    Airtricity reckons that the first stage of this project, a 2,000 turbine-strong farm in the North Sea, would cost about €2 billion ($2.7 billion). That farm would generate 10 gigawatts. An equivalent amount of coal-fired capacity would cost around $2.3 billion so, adding in the environmental benefits, the project seems worth examining. Such offshore farms certainly work. Airtricity already operates one in the Atlantic, and though it currently has a capacity of only 25 megawatts, increasing that merely means adding more turbines. 
     

    2.7 Billion?

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5823209513192072459

    http://www.rumormillnews.com/cafr1/CAFR.htm
    Every city, county, state, and the federal government openly talks about the "budget" but keeps a virtually hidden, SECOND SET OF BOOKS which track the investments and Enterprise ventures worth TRILLIONS of dollars in tangible wealth they have built up and are spending from these virtually hidden portfolios as a result of investing YOUR skimmed money for over  50 years in everything from real estate to the stock market.
    Note: 1 Trillion is 100 Billion.

    What is NOT CALCULATED is time.

    Here:

    An equivalent amount of coal-fired capacity would cost around $2.3 billion

    Compared to what?

    Airtricity reckons that the first stage of this project, a 2,000 turbine-strong farm in the North Sea, would cost about €2 billion ($2.7 billion). That farm would generate 10 gigawatts.

    Please look at that and use your brain.

    2.7 Billion is spent on producing a wind generating farm.

    The farm wouild generate 10 gigawatts.

    Do you know what that means?

    I'm asking.

    I think what is being accounted and calculated is an output RATE of 10 gigawatts of POWER per second.

    Once the farm is up and running the Power generates. There will be remaining maintainance costs.

    2.7 Billion is spent. 10 gigawatts come out. More cost is spent on maintaining the equipment. 10 gigawatts keep coming out. Years go by. The old Wind Mills wear out or become obsolete.

    How much time passes before the 2.7 Billion Dollar Wind Farm is no longer producing 10 gigawatts of power?

    10 years?

    20 years?

    30 years?

    How much Power is produced in 10 years time?

    10 gigawatts? 

    How much Power is produced in 20 years time?

    10 gigawatts?
     
    The answer is NO.

    10 gigawatts is a RATE OF PRODUCTION.

    The rate is either a rate per second, a rate per minute, or a rate per hour.

    It doesn't matter which time factor is used so long as the factor is the same factor used to calculate the cost of other competetive investments of power to make power.

    Here:

    An equivalent amount of coal-fired capacity would cost around $2.3 billion

    What does that mean?

    Does that mean that it cost 2.3 Billion dollars to construct a coal-fired power plant and then add the cost of coal to produce a total amount of power equal to 10 gigawatts?

    Is this the type of economic knowledge being taught by Central Bankers?

    If the 2.3 number is a number accounting for the same cost to build a Coal Plant compared to the cost to build a Wind Power Plant, then, how much does it cost to maintain the Coal Plant compared to the Wind (or Solar) Plant?

    The Coal Plant must be fed with Coal.

    The Wind Plant must be fed with Wind.

    How much does Coal cost?

    How much does Wind cost?

    The more Coal burnt the more the Earth Heats up and the More the Wind Blows.

    Is this the type of ecomomic calculations that are being taught at the Austrian School of capitalist theory?

    Think with your own brain.

    The CAFR link tallies up over 1 trillion dollars of PROFIT as yet to be invested.

    How many Wind farms can be built with that type of Purchasing Power?

    100

    100 times 10 gigawatts is 1000 gigawatts.

    How much electric power does the U.S.A. consume?

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=How+much+electric+power+does+the+U.S.A.+consume%3F

    That wasn't a great search but one link may suffice to find how much electric power consumed in the U.S.A.:

    http://www.ornl.gov/info/ornlreview/rev26-34/text/colmain.html

    Although adverse health effects from increased natural background radioactivity may seem unlikely for the near term, long-term accumulation of radioactive materials from continued worldwide combustion of coal could pose serious health hazards. Because coal combustion is projected to increase throughout the world during the next century, the increasing accumulation of coal combustion by-products, including radioactive components, should be discussed in the formulation of energy policy and plans for future energy use.


    That isn't my consumption number needed but it does add to the cost calculation.

    I've got work to do so this will have to wait.

     
    Add a zero.

    The question concerns one number. How much electricity is consumed by American's?

    How much is the rate?

    How much is the rate per second?

    How much is the rate per hour?

    How much is the rate per year?

    How much total electricity is consumed per year?

    How much will 2 trillion dollars worth of Wind Farm Investment increase the prodcution of electricity in America?

    The following is cut and pasted from an e-mail:

    WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION WE CAN HAVE AN IMPEACHMENT BREAKOUT

    The mainstream corporate media would like to pretend that there is

    nothing going on, but a 15th member of the House just signed on to

    Kucinich's H.Res. 333 to impeach Dick Cheney first. 95,000 people

    have already voted in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll, and no

    matter how many times Pelosi protests that impeachment is off the

    table, we can drive it like a truck right through the front picture

    window. And this is how we are going to do it.

    We have already shipped 6,000 "IMPEACH CHENEY?" caps and we want

    EVERYONE who has voted in the Cheney impeachment poll to have one, so

    that we can all be in the streets as a real time demonstration of our

    mobilization on this issue. A donation is NOT required. We will send

    you one for no charge, not even shipping, if you just email us back

    with your address and request one. But if CAN make any kind of

    donation, if only just a modest one, please submit this form.

    CAP REQUESTS:
    http://www.usalone.com/impeach_cheney_cap.php

    Your donations allow us to run all the blog ads, pay for keeping up

    the short code cell phone voting function, where all you have to do

    is text the word "IMPEACH" to 30644 to vote Yes for Cheney

    impeachment. Most importantly, when you wear one of these caps,

    everyone you encounter will ask themselves the question "Should Vice

    President Cheney be Impeached," which is the question our democracy

    must answer.

    In reacting to testimony of Alberto Gonzales yesterday under oath,

    Time magazine was moved to write the headline "Gonzales Digs a Deeper

    Hole". It would appear the game plan is to try to lie their way

    through the next 18 months, to run out the clock until they can all

    pardon themselves on the way out the door. But the one revelation

    that DID come out of the Senate hearing was that Vice President

    Cheney, on top of everything else, had been given unprecedented

    authority to intervene in justice department probes.

    Just this last Friday the Cheney White House REFUSED to give a member

    of Congress access to the classified portions of two of these recent

    presidential directives. They won't even let our representatives SEE

    the complete terms of SECRET unconstitutional orders they are rushing

    to put in place. So what will it take to get Congress to debate these

    things, and actually confront a White House that is now issuing royal

    decrees at a record pace in the form of sweeping executive orders

    that presume to have legislative weight?

    The last question we CAN answer. What it will take for Congress to

    act is for us to get out there, and make the impeachment movement

    visible, to engage so many of our friends and neighbors in a

    discussion of the issue that we can no longer be ignored. That is

    what the "IMPEACH CHENEY?" caps are designed to do. That is why we

    want you to have one. Congress will not defy the will of the American

    people, but first that will must be expressed. That is our job, to

    facilitate the expression of that will. And we accept the job.

    ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO DENNIS KUCINICH IF YOU CAN

    We would not even have the impeachment movement we have now were it

    not for the courageous leadership of Dennis Kucinich in bringing

    forward H.Res. 333. If you can make a contribution to encourage him

    to continue to stand strong on this issue, and so many others, you

    can do it through this page.

    KUCINICH DONATIONS:
    http://www.usalone.com/donations_kucinich.php

    Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed

    to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

    If you would like to get alerts like these, you can do so at

    http://www.usalone.com/in.htm

    The coming war on Iran, including the possibility of a nuclear attack, has already begun as a war by journalism. Count the number of times "nuclear weapons programme" and "nuclear threat" are spoken and written, yet neither exists, says the International Atomic Energy Agency. On 21 June, the New York Times went further and advertised an "urgent" poll, headed: "Should we bomb Iran?" The questions beneath referred to Iran being "a greater threat than Saddam Hussein" and asked: "Who should undertake military action against Iran first... ?" The choice was "US. Israel. Neither country".

    Suppose for the sake of argument that the China Threat theorists have their way. Suppose they succeed in using Taiwan independence as a pretext to launch a "preventive" war of aggression against a peacefully developing China. Suppose they "win" such a war. Suppose they succeed in their quest to "contain China" and set China's development back 30, 40, even 50 years.

    What then?

    What will Neoconservative China Threat theorists do when another Great Exterminator hurtles toward earth, and they realize too late that crucial Chinese space technology, complementing US and Russian space technology, might have been able to intercept an asteroid or comet and ensure the survival of the human race, including 290 million Americans?

    http://www.b612foundation.org/








    • Asteroid and comet impacts have both destroyed and shaped life on Earth since it formed.
    • The Earth orbits the Sun in a vast swarm of near Earth asteroids (NEAs).
    • The probability of an unacceptable collision in this century is ~2%.
    • We now have the capability to anticipate an impact and to prevent it.

    Congress to use its Constitutional powers peacefully to drag the president back to reality. He must face his responsibilities and assume them himself – take back from Cheney, Petraeus, and the neocons the duties that are his alone, and face the music: he must take the credit, or the blame, himself.

    He Fan, an official at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, went even further today, letting it be known that Beijing had the power to set off a dollar collapse if it choose to do so.

    "China has accumulated a large sum of US dollars. Such a big sum, of which a considerable portion is in US treasury bonds, contributes a great deal to maintaining the position of the dollar as a reserve currency. Russia, Switzerland, and several other countries have reduced the their dollar holdings.

    "China is unlikely to follow suit as long as the yuan's exchange rate is stable against the dollar. The Chinese central bank will be forced to sell dollars once the yuan appreciated dramatically, which might lead to a mass depreciation of the dollar," he told China Daily.

    The threats play into the presidential electoral campaign of Hillary Clinton, who has called for restrictive legislation to prevent America being "held hostage to economic decicions being made in Beijing, Shanghai, or Tokyo".

    Strategic thinkers, if any remain who have not been purged by neocons, will quickly conclude that China’s power over the value of the dollar and US interest rates also gives China power over US foreign policy. The US was able to attack Afghanistan and Iraq only because China provided the largest part of the financing for Bush’s wars.

    If China ceased to buy US Treasuries, Bush’s wars would end. The savings rate of US consumers is essentially zero, and several million are afflicted with mortgages that they cannot afford. With Bush’s budget in deficit and with no room in the US consumer’s budget for a tax increase, Bush’s wars can only be financed by foreigners.

    No country on earth, except for Israel, supports the Bush regimes’ desire to attack Iran. It is China’s decision whether it calls in the US ambassador, and delivers the message that there will be no attack on Iran or further war unless the US is prepared to buy back $900 billion in US Treasury bonds and other dollar assets.

    Goading Xerxes: A New Tactical Twist in the Coming War on Iran

    by Chris Floyd

    An American strike on Iran is coming closer. It probably won't take place in the next few weeks, because Bush is on vacation and will not want to be disturbed. And it probably won't take the form that many have expected (including this writer).

     

    Just for your information:

    The effort to injure innocent Iranians is motivated by the power struggle over monopoly control of currency.

    Who has the power to print legal money?

    If you can't understand this yet, then, think about your own power to print money and imagine having the power to print money on a global scale.

    Is that a power worth killing innocent people over?

     
    Case in point:

    http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig8/wallach1.html

    Market volatility in recent days prompts one to ask, "Just what is going on here?"

    The quick answer is that Federal Reserve manipulation of the money supply causes these crisis periods when previously available Fed money is no longer available. 


     
    My rough calculation suggests that over the last two days the Federal Reserve has pumped in enough new reserves to increase the money supply by somewhere between 10% and 15%.

     

    The quotes above come from an "Austrian Economics" professor. This type of professor involves two main camps. One camp intends to fraud and force their agenda upon everyone else and the other camp intends to accurately identify the facts and utilize the facts in a manner that can produce prosperity for posterity. If you don’t know which camp the professor is in, then, it may be a good idea to find out.

     

    I’ll send him an e-mail linking this page.

    In an effort to help identify the split in 'camps' among the Austrian Economists I can link one such explanation:

    http://www.power-independence.com/view_topic.php?id=123&forum_id=3&highlight=ludwig+

    And this:

    http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north512.html

    WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

    In theory, there are two possible solutions, neither of which has any possibility of being implemented in my lifetime or yours.

    One solution is free banking. This was Ludwig von Mises’ suggestion. There would be no bank regulation, no central bank monopolies, no bank licensing, and no legal barriers to entry. Let the most efficient banks win! In other words, the solution is a free market in money.

    Another solution is 100% reserve banking. Banks would not be allowed to issue more receipts for gold or silver than they have on deposit. Anything else is fraud. There would be regulation and supervision to make sure deposits matched loans. This was Murray Rothbard’s solution. The question is: Regulation by whom? With what authority?

    There would be no government-issued money. There would be no government mint. There would be no legal tender laws. There would be no barriers to entry into coin production.

    There would also be no free services. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

    Anything other than free banking or 100% reserve banking is a pseudo-gold standard or silver standard. It is just one more invitation to confiscation.

    There is no organized movement today to establish either free banking or 100% reserve banking. There has never been a movement to impose 100% reserve banking. It has been well over a century since a handful of economists and pamphlet writers recommended free banking.

    Anyone who tells you that it would be easy to switch over to a gold standard has either no understanding of the politics of money and banking or else has been smoking some funny-smelling leaves.

    To switch by official decree to a non-governmental banking system would require the wholehearted co-operation of central bankers, commercial bankers, politicians, academic economists, and political parties, all of which have a vested interest in controlling the money supply at the expense of the public. They fear above all the depositors’ ability to bring down the entire international cartel through bank runs.

    These bank runs would create massive deflation, international depression, and the collapse of the division of labor.


    This:

    One solution is free banking.




    The above is an example of currency. The sentence above is currently being re-issued, re-published, and currently transferring from the source of the issue to the new receiver (reader) of the currency. What does that currency say – exactly?

     

    That sentence says something exact. It says something specific. It contains no falsehood whatsoever. There isn’t any room for misunderstanding.

     

    NO FALSEHOOD.

     

    Compare that to this:

     

    Another solution is 100% reserve banking.

    To each their own. The reader will choose either A or B.

    Again:

    This is choice A:
    One solution is free banking.

    This is choice B:

    Another solution is 100% reserve banking.

    To each their own and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Make no mistake concerning my 'eye', my 'own', and into which 'camp' I belong.

    The solution to the problem is FREE BANKING.

    The problem is choice B.

    Make no mistake. If you choose A you allow B. If you choose B, and get this straight, you fraud and force A into a STATE of discredit; you "outlaw" choice A.

    If you choose A, then, B can compete JUST like any other free bank. If you choose B, then, you set in motion the force required to destroy choice A.

    Is this not simple?

    Obstructing the War on Iran

    "Asset securitization is the structured process whereby interests in loans and other receivables are packaged, underwritten, and sold in the form of "asset-backed" securities."

    'In the day', when someone bought a house, a bank usually supplied the loan and held the mortgage. After World War Two, demand outpaced supply and investment banking hit on the plan of developing mortgage pools. This was a way to spread risk over a range of securities and seemed like a good idea at the time.


     

    As I read the above article it is my intention to comment on what I read as I read it.

    When a flow of wealth (read: Purchasin Power) flows continuously for some period of time, then, that flow of wealth can be perceived as Value (read: capital).

    Value (capital) can be sold. Value (capital) can be borrowed. Value, like life itself, is valuable.

    The flow of weath (Purchasing Power) can become value itself; like a stream is valuable because water is flowing in the stream. The water (capital) is valuable and therefore the stream (flow of wealth) is valuable.

    The water is sold and borrowed. The water is life sustaining.

    The stream is merely the conduit containing the flow of water. The stream can be sold. The stream can be borrowed. The stream is only as valauble as the water flowing in the stream.

    When 'loans' are sold and borrowed the exchange is only as valuable as the 'interest' flowin in the steam.

    That 'interest' is negative when the rate of inflation is greater than the rate of interest.

    When the rate of inflation is greater than the rate of interest, then, it is like selling a stream where the water is sucked out of your house, out of your farm, and out of your life, going backwards from you to someone else 'up-stream'.

    These confusions are all products of a false currency system designed to be false on purpose. The purpose is designed into the currency. The purpose is to suck the life out of honest people working toward a prosperous future for posterity (children).

    It works.

    It IS the stupid currency - STUPID!

    I'm going to read the rest of the article now. This guy obviously has a handle on the situation. I'm interested in finding out how his angle of view (puzzle piece) adds to The Big Picture.

    For some. One of the Gordon Gecko-like Wall St. heroes sucked $1.6 billion out of this Ponzi scheme as his reward.

     

    That tells me: Things are going along as planned. This is not news. The design of the Interest/Profit/Wage paying system has a purpose. The purpose can be known with a very simple inspection (follow the money) as wealth (purchasing power) flows from the many to the few. The stream points somewhere. The stream points to a possible puzzle piece exposing the design and the designers of the System.

    In order to help the reader see what is being illuminated it may help to describe another possible System and then the reader can contrast the complexity of the current system (the one we life under now) against some measurable standard.

    This effort to contrast what exists now with something (anything) is much like trying to find a black dot in a room without light. You can't find the black dot in the room without light because the black dot is hidden in the darkness.

    A source of light (light bulb) in a dark room can be easy to find because of contrast.

    Another example is an effort to find a drop of water in a pond or find a musical note in a symphony. The drop of water is easy to see when the drop of water is dropped into your eye. The musical note is easy to hear when the one musical note invades perfect silence.

    Consider what our System would be if tomorrow morning you woke up with a few more choices. Before I describe the few additional choices to you it may help if you think. Think about how these few extra choices do not complicate things, rather, these few extra choices CONTRAST drastically against the background of all your present choices.

    Think also about possbilities. Think about reason. Ask; why are these choices not available. If you can come up with a legitimate reason explaining why, then, I am inclined to wonder why you do not respond.

    Why is a very good qeustion to answer. Why is motive. Why is 'interest'. Why would anyone have an interest in creating and maintaining the current System, when, the current System is seen in contrast with a perfectly equitable, reasonable, doable, possible, and mutually beneficial SYSTEM that can compete along side the currenty system and in direct competition with the currenty system without any fraud or force incorporated into the contrasting SYSTEM.

    Again - you can see the currenty system all around you. The current system exists and the current system is reality. The current system defies accountability. The current system is complicated. The current system is confusing. The current system is a symphony of noise invading a fait memory of perfect silence.

    What I will describe is perfect silence compared to the current system of noise. Once you see this description you may become stupified by its simplicity. This effect, if it occurs, merely measures the POWER of the current system and its ability to infect human perception with confusion, complexity, and stupification. What I will describe is complex compared to silence. I will describe something that does require thought and reason to perceive it as reality. It is only by contrast with the current stupification of reason and careful thought that what I am going to describe becomes obvously reasonable and thoughtful; caring and hopeful.

    Accurate accounting is, in fact, boring, unexciting, matter of fact, and can cause sleepiness. If what I describe appears to be exiting, new, and unusual, then, and again, this effect merely measures the POWER OF FALSEHOOD currently invading your brain.

    My assumption, of course, is that a reader has read this far. 

    Onward:

    Tomorrow morning the new system begins to work. The new system works for any single person or any number of people working together in the new system.

    Here is how it works.

    People who produce more than they consume get to invest their extra production as they alone see fit.

    That above is the simple viewpoint of the white background exposing the black blight currently infecting human existence.

    Allow me to expose one possible way that tomorrow can progress in that direction illuminated above.

    Suppose one person produces a new product which causes the user of the product a measurable benefit where the product reduces costs and increases production.

    That one person has something for sale to anyone. The thing for sale reduces costs and increases production for anyone who can afford that thing produced by that one person.

    The decrease in cost and the increase in production afforded by this new thing is both large, great, and measurably less expensive (reduces cost) as this new thing is, in fact, measurably efficent at gaining production rates.

    The new thing, for anyone, affords much more BANG for much less BUCK.

    The ratio of more BANK for less BUCK is so enormous, in fact, that no one on the planet earth can afford not to get this new thing. Everyone aquiring this new thing will expend much less BUCK for much more BANG than anyone failing to aquire this new thing.

    Are you at all curious at this point?

    Are you skeptical? Have you automatically sent me into the dungeon of stupidity and have you already sentenced me to death for my crime of ignorance?

    No interest home mortage loans.

    Did that fly over your head?

    I can elaborate on this fact. It is a fact. You can ignore this fact. You can go on believing in your DOOMS DAY PARADE for as long as it takes to make that fantasy into a reality.

    What is the point?

    What happens when organized crime is law?

    The answer is:

    Civilization is 'outlawed'.

    The proof is in the torture and mass murder (it may look like pudding to those not yet putrefied through he meat grinder = be patient).


    Your time will come.

    Me?

    I see the facts. I do so for a reason.

    I also like to read. I like to read for a reason.

    I read things that make perfect sense.

    US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, as against the "new crazies," is supposedly pursuing the diplomatic track with Teheran. But the Party Line holds, unchanged. In April, Rice spoke about what she would say if she encountered her Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki at the international conference on Iraq at Sharm el Sheikh. "What do we need to do? It's quite obvious," Rice said. "Stop the flow of arms to foreign fighters; stop the flow of foreign fighters across the borders." She is referring, of course, to Iranian fighters and arms. US fighters and arms are not "foreign" in Iraq. Or anywhere. The tacit premise underlying her comment, and virtually all public discussion about Iraq (and beyond) is that we own the world.



     

    Note: When Noam Chomsky uses the term "democracy" it must be understood that his version of the term does not necessarily mean: Will of the Majority.

    Democracy is, if I am not mistaken, a notion shared by Noam whereby every single law that is enforced upon anyone is enforced by everyone "universally" and any one person, anywhere, can voluntarily veto any law at any time if the law is exclusive to only one person.

    This should be easy to understand and if this is not easy to understand, then, that confusion is a measure of falsehood or that confusion is a measure of crime.

    Example:

    Suppose a new law as 'democratically' enacted by people (the number of people is irrelevant beyond one = one person alone is his own law = add any number of people together and 'law' becomes a power equation) and the new law says:

    Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    The new law above is written in words and recorded at the law office where laws are recorded and kept (just in case someone forgets the law as it was written when it was written) so everyone can know, without any doubt whatsoever, what the law did, in fact, say.

    Repeat:

    Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    That is the law enacted by people.

    Before moving on - please consider how absurd the mere discussion of a law that makes an exception to the idea of torturing and murdering millions of people for profit and, at the same time, know that people are being tortured and murdered by the millions FOR PROFIT right now and on into the foreseeable future.

    Back to THE LAW

    Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    Now suppose the 'democratically' law above was looked at with military precision and scientific study for validity and the outcome of this intense effort inspired THE POEPLE to add a few notations to the law before moving the law along the process where the law is funded and then executed.

    THE LAW:

    Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    Additional notations of the law (just in case someone isn't quite up to speed concerning the actual implications of the law):

    Everyone must not torture and murder millions of innocent unborn babies, born babies, toddlers, children, teen agers, young men and young women, productive adults, wise old experienced adults continuing to be productive, and any human being unable to defned themselves alone or in groups of mutual defense associations.

    Now the 'democracy' has the basic LAW written and the more detailed notations written (just in case someone somewhere is ignorant of this law which may or may not be an excuse for breaking or not following this law) into LAW.

    Suppose now that the LAW (democratically enacted by more than one person) was parked on the shelf for some time before being moved into the funding phase (never mind the execution of the LAW phase).

    Who needed to fund the LAW?

    No one.

    No one needed to fund the LAW and that is why the LAW remained on the shelf.

    Meanwhile a few people began to see a problem with the LAW as the LAW was written.

    The LAW said:

    Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    The number of people finding fault with the LAW grew.

    Soon the number of people finding fault with the LAW (as written) decided to do something about their ANTI-LAW position concerning the LAW (as it was written).

    What could this number of people do concerning the LAW as it was written?

    The idea being: to do something about this LAW before this LAW funded and before this LAW was executed.

    ANTI-LAW people asked:

    Who are the exceptions?

    LAW people were silent.

    ANTI-LAW people grew even more concerned (before the LAW is funded and before the LAW is executed) due to the silence. The ANTI-LAW people were deafened by the silence. The silence fueled a burning fire like a gasoline and oxygen mix can accelerate a mere spark into a rapidly burning explosion.

    Suppose, now (democracy now), that THE PEOPLE grew in numbers to such an extent against THE LAW (as it was written) that these people began to congregate into large PARTIES roaming the streets with signs and bull horns and massive demonstrations seeking a very precise answer to a very precise question:

    Who is excepted?

    Does anyone remember THE LAW?

    Here it is again:

    Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    Noam Chomsky 'turned me on' to a word:

    Universality

    If you have any doubts concerning the meaning of the term "Democracy" used by Noam, then, consider the above story and consider reading any work by Noam and look for the meaning behind the word "Universality" before attaching any significance to the word "Democracy" as it is written by Noam Chomsky.

    Here is "Democracy" as it is written by me:

    Any one person can veto any law that is not universally applied to everyone. The law applies to everyone without exception.

    If the reader is wondering as to which planet my viewpoint managed to be born from or if the reader is wondering if my tin hat fits well, then, I am inclined to point back to the law, where, the reader is probably funding it and executing it FOR PROFIT:

    Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    When the number of people who can torture and murder millions of people for profit with impunity grow, then, the number of people being tortured and murdered grow.

    THE LAW becomes self-fulfilling after THE LAW is funded.

    Look in the mirror. Are you torturing or being tortured? Are you murdering or are you being murdered? Are you deaf, dumb, and blind or are you silenced, stupefied, and falsified?

    The words you use to describe THE LAW may be false. If so, then, you have been disarmed.

    If the words you use to describe THE LAW are false on purpose, then, you are one of the many democrats funding and executing THE LAW for your own PROFIT.

    When the number of LAW abiding citizens reach a majority, then, mass torture and murder will increase to a rate of unprecedented scale (nuclear war) on purpose for profit.

    Who will be the exception at that time?

     Everyone except me must not torture and murder millions of people for profit.

    The reader may 'think' that the reader is abiding by THE LAW (as it is written) and therefore the reader may 'believe' that he or she is innocent.

    Please read the fine print:

    Everyone must not torture and murder millions of innocent unborn babies, born babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, young men and young women, productive adults, wise old experienced adults continuing to be productive, and any human being unable to defend themselves alone or in groups of mutual defense associations.

    Productive people help make life more enjoyable because our combined efforts lower the cost of life and our mutual support facilitates prosperity for our own lives and for posterity.

    Why kill off all the innocent people?

    Is 'profit' more important than happiness?

    Is 'profit' more important than happyness?

    OK...I can't spell well.

    How about a movie?

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3739500579629840148&hl=en

    Good luck rationalizing after that one.

    Is the world a place where accurate information can be sent and received - intact?

    How about a test?

    Try: Democrats against Dick Cheney on a Google Search (I'm making this up as I go along).
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Democrats+against+Dick+Cheney
    Is it a surpise to see Dennis Kucinich at the top of the Search List?

    Putting aside the obvious (Kucinich Impeachment) battle currently happening I picked the fifth search item down on the list (the first one without "Kucinich" in the title):


    The Rise of the Dick Cheney Democrats

    Posted May 24, 2007

    Today is the day House Democrats are expected to vote on Iraq - except, news out of Washington this morning says the leadership has come up with a nifty little trick to try to prevent the public from seeing who voted for giving Bush a blank check, and who voted against it. If you thought Democrats were behaving like cowards by caving into a President at a three-decade low in presidential polling and giving him the very blank check they explicitly promised not to give him during the 2006 election, you ain't seen nothing yet. We are watching the rise of the Dick Cheney Democrats - that is, the rise of Democrats who endorse governing in secret and hiding the public's business from the public itself.

    How about a deal?

    How about calling the bad guys "criminals" and the good guys should be the guys on our side?

    What about the people who voluntarily support the criminals?

    Now we have a numbers problem. The way I see it there is a need in every case to triage (economize) effort - think America's Most Wanted.

    How about some simple logic?

    If we woke up suddenly with something closer to Perfect Knowlege and our NEWS reported PUPLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE complete with a picture and a list of all the crimes currently being brought into fruition by PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE, then, what would the next step be?


    Try to use logic (I know this may not be politically correct these days) and solve the problem.

    How about some possible choices to solve the problem of what to do IF PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE was known and his crimes currently being commited were as KNOWN right now - here and now:

    1. Ignore the criminal and the cirmes

    2. Focus attention upon the crimnals next victim and help the crimnal commit the next crime

    3. Figure out a way to stop the crime right now and don't waste another second

    4. Get in line and volunteer to be the next victim, again, as soon as possible

    The Bush administration seems destined to produce such disasters that it will be driven to the use of nuclear weapons in order to avoid defeat.  The Bush administration possesses the combination of evil and stupidity required to escalate a failed “cakewalk war” into a nuclear one.

    "Yes. We're gong to hit Iran, bigtime. Whatever political discussion that are going in is window dressing and perhaps even a red herring. I see what's going on below deck here in the hangars and weapons bays. And I have a sick feeling about how it's all going to turn out."

    In the end, we need to recognize that our presence may have released Iraqis from the grip of a tyrant, but that it has also robbed them of their self-respect. They will soon realize that the best way to regain dignity is to call us what we are — an army of occupation — and force our withdrawal.

    Bush holds surprise 'war council' in Iraq


    Mark Tran
    Monday September 3, 2007


    Last week, a leaked report by the government accountability office, the investigative arm of Congress, said the Bush administration had failed to meet the vast majority of military and political benchmarks set by Congress this year. The independent report cast doubt on the credibility of Mr Bush's repeated assertions that his "surge" strategy was working in Iraq.

    10 Indications that the U.S. is Planning Military Action Against Iran

     

    1. Ignoring Iran’s proposed ‘Grand Bargain’ of 2003:

    2. Allocating 75 million dollars for ‘promoting Democracy in Iran’:
    3. Supporting terrorist groups like ‘Jondollah’ in Iran’s Eastern Provinces: 4. Supporting opposition groups in Northern Iraq:
    5. Gathering international community support against Iran:

    6. Stationing three aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf:

    7. Inviting Iran’s neighbor to an arms race:
    8. Shifting of the U.S. foreign policy doctrine:
    9. Labeling the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) a ‘Terrorist Organization’:

    10. Political frustration and the 2008 election:

    THE KENNEBUNKPORT WARNING
    Presented by a Group of US Opposition Political Leaders Gathered in Protest at the Bush Compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, August 24-25, 2007

    To the American people, and to peace loving individuals everywhere:

    Massive evidence* has come to our attention which shows that the backers, controllers, and allies of Vice President Dick Cheney are determined to orchestrate and manufacture a new 9/11 terror incident, and/or a new Gulf of Tonkin war provocation over the coming weeks and months. Such events would be used by the Bush administration as a pretext for launching an aggressive war against Iran, quite possibly with nuclear weapons, and for imposing a regime of martial law here in the United States. We call on the House of Representatives to proceed immediately to the impeachment of Cheney, as an urgent measure for avoiding a wider and more catastrophic war. Once impeachment has begun, it will be easier for loyal and patriotic military officers to refuse illegal orders coming from the Cheney faction. We solemnly warn the people of the world that any terrorist attack with weapons of mass destruction taking place inside the United States or elsewhere in the immediate future must be considered the prima facie responsibility of the Cheney faction. We urge responsible political leaders everywhere to begin at once to inoculate the public opinion of their countries against such a threatened false flag terror operation.

    In January, President Bush replaced Abizaid and Casey, who were “surge” skeptics, with Adm. William Fallon and Gen. David Petraeus. This week, Petraeus — in the first public hearings since taking on his new role — delivered his Iraq assessment to great media fanfare. But where was his boss, Admiral Fallon? Inter-Press Service suggests animosity between the two might be one reason for Fallon’s absence:

    Fallon told Petraeus [in March] that he considered him to be “an ass-kissing little chickensh*t” and added, “I hate people like that”, the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.
    The Washington Post reported this weekend that there is an internal military debate, described as “Armageddon,” brewing between Petraeus and Fallon because the two men have “profoundly different views of the U.S. role in Iraq.”

    A British man who was held in Guantánamo Bay has begun a civil action against MI5 and MI6 over the tactics that they use to gather intelligence.

    The suit has been brought by Tarek Dergoul, 29, who claims he was repeatedly tortured while he was held by the US, and that British agents who had also questioned him were aware of the mistreatment.

    Apparently, the leaking and discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 at Barksdale was not part of the script. According to a confidential source of Larry Johnson, a former counter-terrorism official from the State Department and CIA, the discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 was leaked. Johnson concludes: "Did someone at Barksdale try to indirectly warn the American people that the Bush Administration is staging nukes for Iran? I don't know, but it is a question worth asking." LINK.

    While the general public is likely to be given a watered down declassified report by the Air Force over the B-52 incident on September 14, the real investigation will reveal that it was part of a covert operation that intended to bypass the regular chain of command in using nuclear weapons in the Middle East. This will likely result in a furious backlash by key figures in the regular military chain of Command such as Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, and the Commander of Central Command, Admiral William Fallon, who have direct responsibility for the conduct of military operations in the Middle East. The US. Air Force, the Secretary of Defense and Commander of Central Command, is now aware of what was likely going to be the true use of the B-52 and the responsibility of the Office of the Vice President.

    It is very likely that the exposure of the B-52 incident will lead to an indefinite hold on plans to attack Iran given uncertainty whether other nuclear weapons have been covertly positioned for use in the Middle East. Significantly, public officials briefed about the true circumstances of the B-52 incident will almost certainly place enormous pressure on Vice President Cheney to immediately resign if it is found that he played the role identified above. It is therefore anticipated that in a very short time, the public will learn that Cheney has resigned for health resigns.

    We think that this war should not exist. There can be friendship and peace - why should there be an occupation in which killings take place? Our message is that of friendship for all - we like all nations we also like all human beings. Whoever is killed we are distressed, we don't rejoice in it because your soldiers are also human beings, poor things, they do not know where they are.

    Text of Letter:

    July 19, 2007

    Dear Mr. President:

    We are writing to inform you that we will only support appropriating additional funds for U.S. military operations in Iraq during Fiscal Year 2008 and beyond for the protection and safe redeployment of all our troops out of Iraq before you leave office.

    More than 3,600 of our brave soldiers have died in Iraq. More than 26,000 have been seriously wounded. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed or injured in the hostilities and more than 4 million have been displaced from their homes.

    Furthermore, this conflict has degenerated into a sectarian civil war and U.S. taxpayers have paid more than $500 billion, despite assurances that you and your key advisors gave our nation at the time you ordered the invasion in March, 2003 that this military intervention would cost far less and be paid from Iraqi oil revenues.

    We agree with a clear and growing majority of the American people who are opposed to continued, open-ended U.S. military operations in Iraq, and believe it is unwise and unacceptable for you to continue to unilaterally impose these staggering costs and the soaring debt on Americans currently and for generations to come.

    Sincerely,

    Double Speak

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak

    Doublespeak is language deliberately constructed to disguise or distort its actual meaning, often resulting in a communication bypass. Such language is often associated with governmental, military, religious and corporate institutions and its deliberate use by these is what distinguishes it from other euphemisms. Doublespeak may be in the form of bald euphemisms ("downsizing" for "firing of many employees", "enhanced interrogation techniques" for torture) or deliberately ambiguous phrases ("wet work" for "assassination", "take out" for "destroy").

    PELLEY: Sir, what were you thinking? The World Trade Center site is the most sensitive place in the American heart, and you must have known that visiting there would be insulting to many, many Americans.

    AHMADINEJAD: Why should it be insulting?

    PELLEY: Well, sir, you're the head of government of an Islamist state that the United States government says is a major exporter of terrorism around the world.

    AHMADINEJAD: Well, I wouldn't say that what the American government says is the prerequisite here. Something happened there which led to other events. Many innocent people were killed there. Some of those people were American citizens obviously. We obviously are very much against any terrorist action and any killing. And also we are very much against any plots to sow the seeds of discord among nations. Usually you go to these sites to pay your respects. And also to perhaps air your views about the root causes of such incidents. I think that when I do that, I will be paying, as I said earlier, my respect to the American nation.

    PELLEY: But the American people, sir, believe that your country is a terrorist nation, exporting terrorism in the world. You must have known that visiting the World Trade Center site would infuriate many Americans, as if to be mocking the American people.

    AHMADINEJAD: Well, I'm amazed. How can you speak for the whole of the American nation?

    PELLEY: Well, the American nation . . .

    AHMADINEJAD: . . . you are representing a media and you're a reporter. The American nation is made up of 300 million people. There are different points of view over there. I would like to think that the points of view of the American people is very close to the points of view of the Iranian people. The American people are very much against and opposed what certain American officials are saying and their points of view. And they're also, the way that the people have voted in the American elections is very telling. And we are criticizing such behavior on the part of the American government. We believe that if anyone just allows himself to accuse others, there will be no possibility for peace and friendship.

    "Oh, but that Dennis Kucinich," you say, "that Ron Paul, that Mike Gravel -- they're sincere about wanting real change." Well, maybe that's so; I have no way of knowing if it's true or not, and neither do you, but let's assume that it is. The brutal fact of the matter is that the more likely they are to actually change things in a fundamental way, the less likely it is that they will ever be allowed to take office, or come anywhere near it.

     

    So what should be done? We addressed this question briefly a few weeks ago, but it bears expanding upon here. What we need most urgently is for national leaders to step forward with a massive, relentless campaign of non-cooperation with the Regime. Let those who have some leverage of power –and whose position provides them some measure of cover – boycott all dealings with the White House, all meetings with its criminals and accomplices. Let them vote – on principle, without exception – against every single appointee of the Bush Administration, and every single measure proposed by its supporters. Let them immediately introduce articles of impeachment against Bush and Cheney. Let them act immediately on de-funding the war. Let them launch a widespread public education campaign to inform the American people of the exact nature and extent of the Bush Regime's crimes.

    The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States

    By Democracy Now
    In a speech at Columbia University, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defended Iran's right to nuclear power but denied Iran was seeking to build nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad's appearance sparked widespread protests at Columbia. We speak with Trita Parsi, author of "Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran and the United States" and Baruch professor Ervand Abrahamian, co-author of "Targeting Iran."
    • Ervand Abrahamian, Iran expert and CUNY Distinguished Professor of History at Baruch College, City University of New York. He is the author of several books on Iran and the co-author of a new book from City Lights called "Targeting Iran."
    • Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), the largest Iranian-American organization in the US. He is the author of "Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States."

    Note:

    A Untied effort to reduce the flow of wealth to criminals will, at the same time, increase the flow of wealth to honest productive people. The difficult part is the part where wealth flows to criminals pretending to be honest productive people.

    This is the difficult part. Is it better to punish the guilty and the innocent or JUST the guilty?

    See?

    Sending money to people who give you no other choice should illuminate something significant.

    Example:

    http://www.makethestand.com/

    Hint: If the transfer of wealth is voluntary, then, you can stop sending wealth when YOU think the wealth is being used to commit crimes against innocent people. YOU thereby impose sanctions. If the transfer of wealth is involuntary and YOU must continue to send wealth even while YOU think that your wealth is being used to commit crimes against the innocent, then, YOU are a victim or YOU are a willing accessory to crime.

    Ignoring the facts does not absolve guilt. Ignoring the facts does not constitute ignorance. Ignoring the facts merely rationalizes and fabricates an imaginary fantasy world. In a fantasy world the innocent are punished for the crimes committed by criminals.

    Yesterday, the /Washington Post/ attempted to explain away the fact that America's nuclear command and control system broke down in an unprecedented manner by reporting that it was the result of "security failures at multiple levels." It is now apparent that the command and control breakdown, reported as a BENT SPEAR incident to the Secretary of Defense and White House, was not the result of a command and control chain-of-command "failures" but the result of a revolt and push back by various echelons within the Air Force and intelligence agencies against a planned U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional weapons.

    The Arrogant, the Misguided and the Cowards
    Out of Iraq, Out with Bush

    By Sean Penn


    10/04/06 "Counterpunch' -- -- The arrogant, the misguided, the cowards would argue that an immediate pull-out of our troops from Iraq would inspire lack of confidence and the lost credibility of the United States. President Bush and his functionaries indeed have lost enormous credibility for the perception of our country internationally. Perhaps more damaging than that, they have created the greatest cultural, religious, and political divide domestically since our own Civil War.



    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17408.htm

    I like that one:

    But now, we are encouraged to self-censor any words that might be perceived as inflammatory - if our belief is that this war should stop today. We cower as you point fingers telling us to "support our troops." Well, you and the smarmy pundits in your pocket, those who bathe in the moisture of your soiled and bloodstained underwear, can take that noise and shove it. We will be snowed no more. Let's make this crystal clear. We do support our troops in our stand, while you exploit them and their families. The verdict is in. You lied, connived, and exploited your own countrymen and most of all, our troops.

    The Oil Race Is On: China Signs Multi-Billion Dollar Oil Contract With Venezuela, But India Also Wants Latin American Oil

     

    This move adds to the transfer of power from the Dollar Hegemony to the competition. Competition brings prices down to cost, so, the winners are the consumers. The losers are those who profit on thier monopoly power or their enforced exclusion of competition.

    What can happen is a reduction in the flow of puchasing power from China to the Dollar Hegemony as China finds other less costly sources of power. That can easily turn into increased purchasing power for average Chinese workers and an increase in demand for consumer goods for Chinese consumers. In turn the demand fetches a higher price as suppllies lower leading to more world wide production opportunities for industries in any country not being forced out of the market by the Dollar Hegemony.

    The Dollar Hegemony must falsify the current events into a DOOMS DAY SCENARIO or Dollar Crash, depression, etc. All that is happening is a reduction in the purchasing power of the Dollar backed by oil flow and military might.

    Sure; people who have sunk their life savings into dollar denominated instruments (401K plan's perhaps) will lose big unless they liquidate and reinvest early.

    Am I smoking crack?

    Police found the body of a missing Air Force captain John Frueh near Badger Peak in northeast Skamania County, Washington.
     
    ** This one is, like Airman Blue's death, suspicious. He was found in a remote area 'near his rental car'...but authorities say 'no foul play was suspected.' Another suicide?
     
    The Activist group says the mysterious deaths of the air force members could indicate to a conspiracy to cover up the truth about the Minot Air Base incident.
     
    Whoever wrote this drivel picked it up from other stories being circulated on the net claiming that 'six airmen have been murdered' to shut them up over the B-52 August 30 flight.
     
    Unfortunately for these idiots, four of the six deaths are not 'mysterious'... accidents happen and 45,000 people a year die on American highways and roads every year.
     
    The deaths of only two of the six are somewhat unusual: those of Blue and Frueh.

    The mayor answered saying that he was the mayor and is in change of those decisions. He then talked about the importance of working with the Federal government in terms of the drill, but never really addressed the real question. He simply sidestepped it with a simple response, to which the coordinator of the conference added his thoughts that that directive is only for an extreme situation. Later, a man had an unrelated question for the governor about a recent scandal involved a Multnomah Country sheriff. The governor shocked the crowd by refusing to answer the question and stormed off the stage. I will remember that moment with a smile for a long time.

    Earlier, in comments aimed at the United States, Putin said during his talks in Iran: "We should not even think of using force in this region."

     

    In a final declaration, the Caspian nations backed Putin's call, saying "under no circumstances will they allow (the use of their) territories by third countries to launch aggression or other military action against any of the member states".

     

    The countries also backed the rights of signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty -- which includes Iran -- to develop peaceful nuclear energy.

     

    The U.N. Security Council has imposed two rounds of limited sanctions on Iran, which were backed by Russia and five other world powers -- the United States, France, Germany, Britain and China. Washington and Paris are pushing for tougher steps.

     

    Sanctions = injure people = make people less powerful.

    The effort inevitably punishes the weaker people. Please understand this to be true.

    This is very simple. Power-full people punish power-less people. They do so when power-less people gain more power.


    Read and find the part in the article that refers to Russian POWER being used to help increase Iranian POWER in the form of a Nuclear POWER PLANT.

    If Iran can begin to generate a lot more electric power from uranium (cost/benefit), then, Iran can sell more of the stuff they now use to make electric power. 

     
    Example: 

    Suppose that Iran is now using Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas to make electricity. Suppose that a new Nuclear plant is built and this new Plant runs on cheap uranium. Suppose this is true. Now Iran no longer has to use up Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas to make electricity.  

    This is a simple trade of expensive costs for inexpensive costs. It is important, of course, to add the cost required to get rid of the nuclear waste. I have a friend who was a professional welder working on tanks that store nuclear waste. The process is expensive.  

    Suppose; however – that Iran does manage to gain more power with this trade. If so, then, Iran will end up dumping more Oil on the market and Iran is selling Oil off the dollar. That is a HUGE attack on Dollar Hegemony. The value of Oil goes down (because the supply increases) and the value of the dollar goes down (because the supply of the dollar is increasing AND the demand for the dollar is decreasing).

    This is a HUGE attack on the Dollar Hegemony. If you can understand this, then, you can understand all the FORCE being applied against Iran. 

    If not, then, not.

    Another reason is a uniquely American rationale, and it relates to our currency, and our debt situation. Saddam Hussein decided in November 2000 to sell his Food for Oil program oil sales in euros. The oil sales permitted in that program weren’t very much. But if the sanctions were lifted, the sales from the country with the second largest oil reserves on the planet would have been setting a standard away from, and competing with, US paper.

    The U.S. dollar was, and remains, in a sensitive period because we are a major debtor nation now. Our currency is still globally popular, but these days that’s more due to habit than its reliability as a currency backed up by a government that the world trusts not to print boatloads of bills for no productive reason. To the extent that oil, almost the new gold in terms of in-demand commodity reliability, is traded on the euro, global confidence in the dollar and global bank reserve demand for the dollar shifts negatively.

    In any case, the first executive order regarding Iraq that Bush signed in May [2003] switched trading on Iraq’s oil back to the dollar.

    These, for me are the big three. There are other reasons, beyond American bases, American contracts, and propping up the dollar. An important factor was the neoconservative idea that the best thing we can do for Israel’s security is to be there. It is not enough to send several billions in economic and military aid each year, and it is not enough to veto UN resolutions that are unfavorable to Israel. It is not enough to have bases in Saudi Arabia and other conservative Arab monarchies and oligarchies. Some of these American friends are not friends of Israel, and it makes taking diplomatic actions against them more difficult. In the view of many neoconservatives, America needs to be there, militarily and economically in the region, working closely with Israel, our lone democratic ally and one that has the human intelligence capability on the ground that we have never had, and never will have.

    Feeling increasingly isolated and fearing an American attack, the Islamic republic received a major boost from the visit by Mr Putin, who said US military action against Iran would be wrong. At the same time, the Russian leader resisted Iranian pressure to set a firm starting date for the nuclear power plant that Russia is building at Bushehr.

     

    Power to make electricity is power to produce more purchasing power = more wealth.

    Power to makes bombs is power to deter agaist aggressive attack by a rouge nation and a cirminal regime.

    Power can be costly.

    It's an uphill battle getting Bush functionaries to acknowledge the facts and history of 9/11, but in this video, Ginny Ross of Oregon Truth Alliance brings up the subject in the context of the current terrorism drills in Portland, Oregon -- TOPOFF 4 and Vigilant Shield. Chertoff denies that any drills presaged the 9/11 events, despite the fact that there was a live-fly hijacking drill and a plane-into-building drill on that same day. It appears we have yet another crazy coincidence theorist on our hands. He is a firm believer that Bin Laden and his henchmen pulled it off with no involvement of the large number of drills going on that day -- some simulating the events that actually occurred.

    NORAD begins Operation Northern Vigilance. For this military operation, it deploys fighters to Alaska and Northern Canada to monitor a Russian air force exercise in the Russian Arctic and North Pacific Ocean, scheduled for September 10 to September 14. The Russian exercise involves its bombers staging a mock attack against NATO planes that are supposedly planning an assault on Russia.

    The wargames will tie Bush and/or Cheney and Rumsfeld directly into a complete paralysis of fighter response on 9/11. I have gone directly to many NORAD, DoD, NRO, and other sources and questioned them. I have knocked on many doors and I have even obtained some documents. I have obtained an on-the-record statement from someone in NORAD, which confirmed that on the day of 9/11 The Joint Chiefs (Myers) and NORAD were conducting a joint, live-fly, hijack Field Training Exercise (FTX) which involved at least one (and almost certainly many more) aircraft under US control that was posing as a hijacked airliner. That is just the tip of what I have uncovered.

    The trouble with this theory, or story line if you will, is that while nobody at Minot, supposedly, noticed what was happening—even though ground crew workers spent eight hours laboring to get the pod with the six nuke-tipped missiles mounted on the plane’s wing. This despite the warheads are clearly visible and identifiable by the silver coating they exhibit when viewed through a little window in each nosecone cover, and because there are red coverings on the nuke nosecones—once the plane got to Barksdale, the ground crew there, which had no reason on earth to suspect it was looking at nuclear warheads, spotted them immediately upon going to the plane.
    They had no reason to expect nukes because for 40 years it has been illegal for the military to carry nuclear weapons on bombers over US territory, and indeed since 1991, it has been illegal to even load nuclear weapons on a plane, period, even for training purposes on the ground.

    How can it be that Air Force ground crew people at Barksdale could spot the nukes in a flash while nobody at Minot—not the workers who mounted the warheads on the missiles in the heavily guarded bunker, not the guards who are supposed to guard those weapons with their lives and prevent any unauthorized removal from the bunkers, not the ground crew that loaded them onto the plan, and not the pilot and crew of the bomber, who are supposed to check every missile before they take off—noticed they were nuclear warheads? (The weapons went unnoticed for 10 hours in Barksdale, but that’s only because no groundcrew visited the plane for that long, but when they did go to it, they reportedly spotted the nukes right off the bat.)

    Conservative think tanks and pundits who sense this could be their last chance to implement their agenda in the Middle East have supported and disseminated such plans in the press. Despite America's many failures in Iraq, these hawks have urged the weakened president to act now, accusing him of having lost sight of his principal agenda and no longer daring to apply his own doctrine of pre-emptive strikes.

    Sheer Lunacy?

    A high-level diplomatic source in Tehran tells Asia Times Online that essentially Putin and the Supreme Leader have agreed on a plan to nullify the George W Bush administration's relentless drive towards launching a preemptive attack, perhaps a tactical nuclear strike, against Iran. An American attack on Iran will be viewed by Moscow as an attack on Russia.


     

    Iranian hawks close to Ahmadinejad are spinning that Putin's proposal involves Iran temporarily suspending uranium enrichment in exchange for no more United Nations sanctions. That's essentially what International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohammad ElBaradei has been working on all along. The key issue is what - in practical terms - will Iran get in return. Obviously it's not the EU's Solana who will have the answer. But as far as Russia is concerned, strategically nothing will appease it except a political/diplomatic solution for the Iranian nuclear dossier.

    US Vice President Dick Cheney - who even Senator Hillary Clinton now refers to as Darth Vader - must be foaming at the mouth; but the fact is that after the Caspian summit, Iran and Russia are officially entangled in a strategic partnership. World War III, for them, is definitely not on the cards.

     

    As if anyone needed to be reminded, the buck - or rial - stops with the Supreme Leader, whose last wish on earth is to furnish a pretext for the Bush administration to launch World War III. If Ahmadinejad now deviates from a carefully crafted strategic script, the Supreme Leader may simply get rid of him.

    Wayne Madsen has reported that the nukes were destined for Iraq, but were intercepted by renegade officers of the US Air Force who are opposed to attacking Iran with nuclear warheads in a plan that was devised and was being allegedly overseen by Dick Cheney. According to Madsen, a U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear weapons was scheduled to coincide with Israel's September 6 air attack on a reputed Syrian nuclear facility in Dayr az-Zwar in northern Syria. The interception of the nuclear warheads apparently caused the White House cabal to defer an American coordination with the Israeli attack until such time as the problem of the intercepted nukes was resolved on the domestic front.

    Not seen much mention of the possibly a warhead may have gone missing during the reported B-52 transportation several days ago.Several news sources including the original (Military Times) claimed 5 nukes had been accounted for when the B-52 reached Barksdale Air Force Base."A B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with five nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air Force-wide investigation, according to three officers who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the incident."This report has now been amended to "...mistakenly loaded with six nuclear warheads..."_http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/09/marine_nuclear_B52_070904w/

    I know as much as I do because I work with a cross-trainee whose last base was Barksdale as a munitions specialist. He was involved in this process there; along with the various other missions Barksdale has (it’s a pretty critical base in the AF). Anyway, you would think there would be a pretty clear checklist for all of this, but apparently no one even bothered. Doing what they do day-to-day, is pretty standard operating procedure. People get lazy when they do the same thing day after day, and there’s no less than a half dozen teams who would be transferring these weapons around from storage until they’re loaded. The idea of someone dropping the ball in the AF is not exactly unusual (quite common, actually, heh), especially when 4:30 rolls around and everyone wants to go home. If the next step is to hand it off to the guys who remove the warhead, and it’s 1630 on a Friday, hell, let’s just leave it until Monday, since the mission doesn’t fly until Tuesday anyway. Monday rolls around, someone else takes over, and doesn’t know the job wasn’t finished on Friday. There SHOULD be some paper trail for that kind of thing, but then, like I said, people are lazy. Oh, and Minot usually fails its nuclear operational readiness inspections. ;) Sorry to kill your confidence in the military.


    I’ve seen too much crazy stuff to believe in some massive conspiracy, there’s too many people involved. You’d have to kill like 50 people to “cover up” moving nukes to Barksdale. Plus, what would it achieve? There’s already more than enough nukes at Barksdale to blow the world up 3x over. Who needs 6 more? Seriously? Plus, more accidents occur with conventional than nukes, since nukes are computerized and designed to be super-duper safe. Conventional weapons are built by the lowest bidder. [Yikes!] I’d be more worried about a fully-loaded F16 flying around NYC after 9/11 sucking up a bird than a B52 with nukes flying around without anyone knowing it was loaded with nukes. The pilots couldn’t "secretly" be in on it and launch them, the interface wouldn’t be installed, the COMSEC material wouldn’t be available, etc. You’d have to kill half the base to hide the paper trail necessary to give the pilots the ability to launch.


    Debunking the debunker?

    3rd




    The "Decider" has already stated that he believes the USA has the right to bomb Iran, and that he will not certify that he’d refuse to use nukes. "No option is off the table" as he is fond of saying. I think that’s pretty damn clear, being as it is coming from the Commander In Chief.



    4th



    The military reporting of these incidents is itself contrary to military secrecy, reason, and law. I suspect an altogether different agenda. I believe that this high-level press coverage of a screw up, carrying nukes on B52s, is designed to use the US Media [gasp, they’ve never done that before!] to pressure Iran to meet US demands.

    Although there is very little news available from the mainstream media concerning the stand down by the USAF this Friday, some areas of the internet are positively buzzing about the decision and the possibility of a “Broken Arrow”

    For those of you who saw the 1996 film (or are not familiar with the term already), a “Broken Arrow” refers to a missing nuclear device.

    That one was dated September 12, 2007

    "They [China] are now the number one trade partner with Iran. It's very difficult for countries to say we're striking out on our own when they've got their own policies on the military side, aiding and abetting the Iranian government in strengthening its own military," he told the BBC.
    Mr Burns said the US still hoped Russia and China would approve a third UN security council resolution imposing new sanctions next month.
    Israel, a strong supporter of the US action, said today its foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, would travel to Beijing this weekend to lobby for harsher UN sanctions on Iran.
    However, China warned today that "sanctions should not be lightly imposed in international relations".
    "Dialogue and negotiations are the best approach to resolving the Iranian nuclear issue," the foreign ministry said.
    "To impose new sanctions on Iran at a time when international society and the Iranian authorities are working hard to find a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue can only complicate the issue."
    The response of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, was more scathing. He said sanctions made a negotiated settlement harder.
    "Why worsen the situation by threatening sanctions and bring it to a dead end?" he said. "It's not the best way to resolve the situation, by running around like a madman with a razor blade in his hand."

    "And there are documents and information available proving America's support for terrorist groups in the region," he said, without giving details. Jalili is also the new secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

    C.P.A. officials tried to keep a rough running tab on the amount disbursed to individual Iraqi agencies such as the Ministry of Finance ($7.7 billion). But there was little detail, nothing specific, on how the money was actually used. The system basically operated on "trust and faith," as one former C.P.A. official put it. Once the cash passed into the hands of the Iraqis or any other party, no one knew where it went. The C.P.A. turned over $1.5 billion in cash to Iraqi banks, for instance, but later auditors could account for less than $500 million. The United Nations retained a team of auditors to look over American shoulders. They didn't see much, because they were largely cut off from access while the C.P.A. held power. As a report by the U.N.'s accounting consultant, KPMG, noted dryly, "We encountered difficulties in performing our duties and meeting with key C.P.A. personnel."
    Did any withdrawals from the vault pay for secret activities by government personnel? It is an obvious possibility. Much of the cash was clearly destined for American contractors or Iraqi subcontractors. Sometimes the Iraqis came to the palace to collect their cash; other times, when they were reluctant to show up at the American compound, U.S. military personnel had to deliver it themselves. One of the riskier jobs for some U.S. military men was to fill up a car with bags of cash and drive the money to contractors in Baghdad neighborhoods, handing it over like a postal worker delivering mail.

     

    The simple truth about the missing money is the same one that applies to so much else about the American occupation of Iraq. The U.S. government never did care about accounting for those Iraqi billions and it doesn't care now. It cares only about ensuring that an accounting does not occur.

    Attention CBS 60 Minutes: we've got a huge scoop for you. If you want it.

    Remember the exclusive story you aired on Sibel Edmonds, originally on October 27th, 2002, when she was not allowed to tell you everything that she heard while serving as an FBI translator after 9/11 because she was gagged by the rarely-invoked "States Secret Privilege"? Well, she's still gagged. In fact, as the ACLU first described her, she's "the most gagged person in the history of the United States of America."

    [In] 1947, the United States charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for carrying out another form of waterboarding on a U.S. civilian. The subject was strapped on a stretcher that was tilted so that his feet were in the air and head near the floor, and small amounts of water were poured over his face, leaving him gasping for air until he agreed to talk.

    “Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor,” Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) told his colleagues last Thursday during the debate on military commissions legislation. “We punished people with 15 years of hard labor when waterboarding was used against Americans in World War II,” he sai

     

    Waterboarding has become an isssue because the Bush White House signed off on it as an interrogation technique — and thus moved the United States into the company of pariah states that permit torture — after the 9/11 attacks.

    JEREMY SCAHILL: Well, Dick Cheney, when he was Defense Secretary under George H.W. Bush during the Gulf War, one of the last things he did before leaving office was to create an unprecedented lucrative market for the firm that he would go on to head, Halliburton. He commissioned [a] Halliburton [division] to do a study on how to privatize the military bureaucracy. That effectively created the groundwork for the absolute war profiteer bonanza that we’ve seen unfold in the aftermath of 9/11. I mean, Clinton was totally on board with all of this, but it has exploded since 9/11. And so, Cheney, after he left office, when the first Bush was the president, went on to work at the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, which really led the push for privatization of the government, not just the military.
    And then, when these guys took office, Rumsfeld's first real major address, delivered on September 10, 2001, he literally declared war on the Pentagon bureaucracy and said he had come to liberate the Pentagon. And what he meant by that -- and he wrote this in an article in Foreign Affairs -- was that governments, unlike companies, can't die. He literally said that. So you have to figure out new incentives for competition, and Rumsfeld said that it should be run more like a corporation than a bureaucracy. And so, the company that most embodies that vision -- and they call it a revolutionary in military affairs. It’s a total part of the Project for a New American Century and the neoconservative movement. The company that most embodies that is not Halliburton; it’s Blackwater.

    With all the lawsuits over kidnapping and torture marching toward the Bush administration, you might think the top officials running the global war on terror would be worried just a little about the prospect that some day they might end up in court — if not having nightmares about getting measured for orange jumpsuits at Danbury Federal Prison.

    Alas, no. Thanks to the legerdemain of Bush administration lawyers, a provision quietly tucked into the Military Commissions Act ([url=javascript:simplePopup('displaylawcard.do?lawNumber=366&congress=109','billCard',680,430);]PL 109-366[/url]) just before it was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush on Oct. 17, would ease any worries they might’ve had. It not only redefines torture upward, removing the harshest, most controversial techniques from the definition of war crimes, it also exempts the perpetrators — interrogators and their bosses — from punishment all the way back to Nov. 1997.

    What Now?

    The only thing that seems to be standing in the way of a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is foot-dragging by the U.S. military.

    It seems likely that the senior military have told the president and Cheney: This time let us brief you on what to expect on Day 2, on Week 4, on Month 6—and on the many serious things Iran can do to Israel, and to us in Iraq and elsewhere.

    CENTCOM commander Admiral William Fallon is reliably reported to have said, “We are not going to do Iran on my watch.” And in an online Q-and-A, award-winning Washington Post reporter Dana Priest recently spoke of a possible “revolt” if pilots were ordered to fly missions against Iran. She added:

    “This is a little bit of hyperbole, but not much. Just look at what Gen. [George] Casey, the Army chief, has said...that the tempo of operations in Iraq would make it very hard for the military to respond to a major crisis elsewhere. Beside, it's not the ‘war’ or ‘bombing’ part that's difficult; it's the morning after and all the days after that. Haven't we learned that (again) from Iraq?”

    This is the very worst part of allowing a criminal gang to run a Nation.

    The criminal gang produces enemies of the Nation. The cost is very high; immeasurably high. Opportunities to combine production power, trade, greater market volume, diversity, specialization, division of labor, cost reductions, economies of scale, all is lost for what – the profit of a few at the expense of the many = including the expense of the profiteers?

    Warren coined “Civilized Cannibalism” and that term applies. Civilization destroys itself.

    Missing Nukes: Treason of the Highest Order

    By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya




    11/02/07 "Global Research" --- - According to a wide range of reports, several nuclear bombs were “lost” for 36 hours after taking off August 29/30, 2007 on a “cross-country journey” across the U.S., from U.S.A.F Base Minot in North Dakota to U.S.A.F. Base Barksdale in Louisiana. [1] Reportedly, in total there were six W80-1 nuclear warheads armed on AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles (ACMs) that were “lost.” [2] The story was first reported by the Military Times, after military servicemen leaked the story.

    Look out -- here they come again! Bush & Buckshot are riding their little stick horses, waving the bloody flag of 9/11, demonizing another Muslim nation, shouting warnings about weapons of mass destruction, bellowing for regime change, and generally trying to whoop up a new war. Having done so well in Iraq, George W and Cheney are pushing feverishly to hype up a national-security threat and commit our nation, our bedraggled military, our depleted treasury, and our country's already-tarnished name to another of their fantasyland, neocon, preemptive invasions of a sovereign people who are doing no harm to us. Their target this time: Iran.
    You might be thinking, oh, come on, Hightower, surely not. You're paranoid -- even the Bushites aren't that crazy. I wish.

    Iran is accepting an offer for continued talks with the United States on Iraqi security, with the state IRNA news agency saying Tuesday that Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki welcomed a fourth round of discussions "in the near future," The Associated Press reported from Tehran.

    There are times when one tragedy, one crime tells us how a whole system works behind its democratic facade and helps us to understand how much of the world is run for the benefit of the powerful and how governments lie. To understand the catastrophe of Iraq, and all the other Iraqs along imperial history's trail of blood and tears, one need look no further than Diego Garcia.

    When we can't get the First World War right, how in God's name can we get World War III right?

     

    Who is we?

    If the 'official' version 'feels' like the 'official' act was torturous and murderous, then, 'we' don't need any more 'official' notice or do 'we'?

    Is this more and more like a bad horror movie? I mean; how stupid can the audience be expected to be - and for how long?

    On the other side; we are gaining power independence from the torturing mass murderers as we learn to be less dependent upon their 'official' 'feelings' and actions.

    The criminals are still very powerful to be sure; however - their power has peaked awhile ago. They may push the reset button and wipe out modern times - yet.

    Then again; the future is not written only by the 'officials'.

    To realize this beautiful and peaceful dream, Uncle Sam periodically goes on notably bloody and vicious killing sprees. He's been at this a very long time. Although a few people try to keep him upstairs (very few these days; most have given up, driven away in large part by the stench of decaying flesh), Sam regularly breaks out, taking with him a substantial part of his weapons collection. Tragically, Uncle Sam has the largest such collection in the region. Sam travels to a town some miles away, a town inhabited by people he's never met and about whom he knows nothing, people who have never considered harming him. Yet Sam insists they aren't obeying him. This cannot be allowed to continue. So Uncle Sam slaughters a lot of them. He's found such means to be the quickest way of ensuring obedience in the future. When his blood lust is sated, Sam returns home -- until the next time.

    On a scarier note, an internal CIA memorandum has been obtained by Venezuelan counterintelligence from the US Embassy in Caracas that reveals a very sinister - almost fantastical, were it not true - plan to destabilize Venezuela during the coming days. The plan, titled "OPERATION PLIERS" was authored by CIA Officer Michael Middleton Steere and was addressed to CIA Director General Michael Hayden in Washington. Steere is stationed at the US Embassy in Caracas under the guise of a Regional Affairs Officer. The internal memorandum, dated November 20, 2007, references the "Advances of the Final Stage of Operation Pliers", and confirms that the operation is coordinated by the team of Human Intelligence (HUMINT) in Venezuela. The memo summarizes the different scenarios that the CIA has been working on in Venezuela for the upcoming referendum vote on December 2nd. The Electoral Scenario, as it's phrased, confirms that the voting tendencies will not change substantially before Sunday, December 2nd, and that the SI (YES) vote in favor of the constitutional reform has an advantage of about 10-13 points over the NO vote. The CIA estimates abstention around 60% and states in the memo that this voting tendency is irreversible before the elections.

    On November 26, 2007 the Venezuelan government broadcast and circulated a confidential memo from the US embassy to the CIA which is devastatingly revealing of US clandestine operations and which will influence the referendum this Sunday, December 2, 2007.

    Have George w. Bush and the entire U.S. Government gone insane, are they just totally incompetent or worse, is there a method to the madness which is just part of the most ingenious evil plan ever devised?

    Note: Our last article linked below described how the US might invade Venezuela and the scenario assumes this happens before they bomb Iran. This articles assumes the Venezuela take over happens later.

    Now you have a general understanding of the basic plans of the U.S., but what is the only thing standing in their way of accomplishing the plan to control the Middle East? If you guessed IRAN, you are correct. Iran is not only in a strategic location, next door to Israel, which is the U.S.'s main base of operation in the area, but it also controls the strait of Hormuz, which is the only route possible for oil from all Middle East countries to pass through to any area of the world. Also, Iran is being used by Russia and China to fight a proxy war in the Middle East for the same control the U.S. is trying to establish. Iran is the Russian and Chinese base of operations, just as Israel is the base for the U.S.  Eliminating Iran or at least the government of Iran is absolutely essential for the U.S. to gain control in the area. How would the elimination of Iran begin and take place?

    The first part of the war with Iran has already taken place, it was the invasion of Iraq and establishment of a U.S. base of operation there from which the other conflicts in the area could be orchestrated allowing the U.S. to build a case against Iran, which is the second part of the plan and is in full swing as you are reading this. If you turn on your TV. to any news channel, tune your car radio to any talk radio program or pick up any American newspaper you will not only be told of the horrors of war in the places I already mentioned but in every case it is all being blamed on Iran. As Bush explains it, without Iran causing all the problems and building nuclear weapons to destroy Israel, the U.S. could create peace and democracy in all the Middle East within a matter of a few months and do what the American people want most, which is to bring the troops home and end the war. What next?

    The American people are getting tired of their economy going down the drain and have pretty much put the blame on President Bush but with careful manipulation of the press and sufficient bombardment of the same message from every source Bush will ultimately convince the American people that all their problems are being caused by Amadinejad, President of Iran, and the only way for America to win and prosper is to eliminate the problem. What does the U.S. government see as the consequences of attacking Iran and why has it not already been done?

    But the opposition has also painted itself into a corner. The impression I get is that they've depicted this as the final, now or never, effort to turn back the revolution, and it won't be easy to get their hotheads to change course.

    More than 1,820 tons (3-million, 640 thousand pounds) of radio-active nuclear waste uranium were exploded into Iraq alone in the form of armor piercing rounds and bunker busters, representing the worlds worst man made ecological disaster ever. 64 kg of uranium were used in the Hiroshima bomb. The U.S. Iraq Nuclear Holocaust represents far more than fourteen thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs.
     
     
    That's 14,000.
     
    The nuclear waste the U.S. has exploded into the Middle East will continue killing for BILLIONS of years and can wipe out more than a third of life on earth. Gulf War Veterans who have ingested the uranium will continue to die off over a number of years.

    Enter Mike Bloomberg, the founder and owner of the financial data and news company Bloomberg. Forbes says the mogul is contemplating spending up to 20 percent of his $11 billion fortune to run as an Independent candidate for president.


     


    The POWER of television as a MASS media device (exclusive = monopoly) used to control PUBLIC opinion is richly evident as a FACT.

    The POWER of the competition (INTERNET) is gaining MARKET share.

    See how this can be measured in dollars.

    Ron Paul is now approaching 12 million.

    What is 20 percent of 11 billion?

    A person may, or may not, get the connection between 'voluntary' donations (12 million) and the flow of POWER going to Bloomberg. A person may 'think' that the POWER going to Bloomberg was 'voluntary' and 'legitimate'; however - the fact that T.V. has controlled PUBLIC opinion in the past must be accurately accounted for - in fact.

    How much of the 'control' was used to keep the POWER flow going in the desired direction desired by those people who have the POWER over T.V.?

    Note: NO ONE has the POWER to control the Internet. There is no CENTRAL command that gives out a license to compete on the internet. Anyone with individual POWER can hook up and join the competition.

    How do I know this fact?

    Do me a favor and type a few phrases in an internet search engine like Google.

    Type these:

    No More Legal Criminals.

    I get this:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=No+More+Legal+Criminals

    The top four are mine.

    Type this:

    Independent Online Presidential Poll

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Independent+Online+Presidential+Poll

    I am second and third.

    Type this:

    Independent presidential debate coverage

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Independent+presidential+debate+coverage

    Awhile ago I held the top spot. Now I'm on page two. I saw that coming and I documented the progress of that competition on this site here:

    http://www.power-independence.com/view_topic.php?id=356&forum_id=2

    I am a competitor in a free market of media that reaches the whole planet.

    Anyone, anywhere, can google (search) for these phrases, words, communications, and get the same results - by default. Even the programing of the 'default' settings are subject to competition.

    Example:

    Yahoo has a search engine:

    http://search.yahoo.com/

    No More Legal Criminals

    http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkmecBWhHNQgAVpSl87UF?p=No+More+Legal+Criminals&ei=UTF-8&iscqry=&fr=sfp

    I hold the top five spots.

    How about this:

    Power Independence

    Page two?

    How about Google?

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Power+independence

    I am number two on page one.

    See how this works?

    Think about the following search. I am going to use a few words from memory in a search for something specific.

    These words:

    That may work.

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Jelly+beans+Jar+Statistics+Majority+

    It worked.

    Look at the first one on the list:

    http://www.kottke.org/04/07/wisdom-of-crowds

    If you ask a large enough group of diverse, independent people to make a prediciton or estimate a probability, and then everage those estimates, the errors of each of them makes in coming up with an answer will cancel themselves out. Each person's guess, you might say, has two components: information and error. Subtract the error, and you're left with the information.

    A link from there goes to here:

    http://www.randomhouse.com/features/wisdomofcrowds/

    "No one in this world, so far as I know, has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people."
    -H. L. Mencken


    H. L. Mencken was wrong.

    In this endlessly fascinating book, New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki explores a deceptively simple idea that has profound implications: large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant—better at solving problems, fostering innovation, coming to wise decisions, even predicting the future.


     

    You may have been led to beleive things that are not true and please thing about a few things here; example - the knee jerk reaction is to return to the same people for an answer to the present question.

    What is the present question?

    Ask someone else?

    See?

    How about this:

    How do you know that the Devil didn't write the Bible?

    Ask a person who is currently spreading 'the gospel'?

    They invariably say (I do this so I know); It says so right here.

    In the bible.

    Advocates of a U.S. nuclear weapons buildup received a significant setback on December 16, when Congressional negotiators agreed on an omnibus spending bill that omitted funding for development of a new nuclear weapon championed by the Bush administration: the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW). Coming on the heels of Congressional action in recent years that stymied administration schemes for the nuclear "bunker buster" and the "mini-nuke," it was the third – and perhaps final – defeat of George W. Bush and his hawkish allies in their attempt to upgrade the U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal.

    This conscious separation of personal responsibility from the act of looting is not surprising because "looting" is, theoretically as least, considered immoral in Christian circles. The corporation is thus a "legal fiction," that lets the investors who own the business avoid personal responsibility whenever the business dealings are unethical or even blatantly illegal, despite the fact that such unscrupulous behavior profits them enormously.

    ALLAN NAIRN: Well, I think one thing you could say about the advisers for all the candidates who have a chance is that the presence of these advisers makes it clear that these candidates aren’t serious about enforcing the murder laws and that they’re willing to kill civilians, foreign civilians, en masse in order to advance US policy. And they’re not serious about law and order. They’re soft on crime.
     


    And start with Clinton. Madeleine Albright, she was the main force behind the Iraq sanctions that killed more than 400,000 Iraqi civilians. General Wesley Clark, he was the one who ran the bombing of Serbia in the former Yugoslavia, came out and publicly said that he was going after civilian targets, like electrical plants, like the TV station there. Richard Holbrooke, in the Carter administration he was the one who oversaw the shipment of weapons to the Indonesian military as they were invading—illegally invading East Timor and killing a third of the population there, and he was the one who kept the UN Security Council from enforcing its resolution against that invasion. Strobe Talbott, he was the one who, during the Clinton administration, oversaw Russia policy, a backing of Yeltsin, which resulted in turning over the national wealth to the oligarchs and a drop in life expectancy in much of Russia of about fifteen years—massive, massive death. And you have various backers of the Iraq invasion and occupation and the recent escalation, people like General Jack Keane, Michael O’Hanlon and others. That’s just Clinton.

    His driving motives were the assumption that people were guided by sympathy and feelings of solidarity and the need for control of their own work, much like other Enlightenment and early Romantic thinkers.

    Does anybody care? No, because we’re an outlaw state by definition, or to be more precise, our threats and use of force are not foreign, they’re indigenous because we own the world. Therefore, it’s fine. So there are threats to bomb Iran—maybe we will and maybe we won’t. That is the debate that goes on. Is it legitimate if we decide to do it? People might argue it’s a mistake. But does anyone say it would be illegitimate? For example, the Democrats in Congress refuse to put in an amendment that would require the Executive to inform Congress if it intends to bomb Iran—to consult, inform. Even that was not accepted.

    It is also a fact, well-known to military planners, that somewhere around 70% of troops in their first combat-fire situation find themselves frozen, unable to trigger lethal weapons at a live enemy. It takes training and intense re-socialization to make soldiers out of raw recruits. And it is a notable point, to which we shall return later, that said socialization has to concentrate on getting a trainee to obey orders and identify with the group. (Major David Pierson of the U.S. Army wrote an [url=http://web.archive.org/web/19991008231638/http://www-cgsc.army.mil/milrev/English/MayJun99/Pierson.htm]illuminating essay[/url] on this topic in the June 1999 Military Review).

    Predatory funds are not new. They first appeared about 15 years ago, but have recently reached alarming proportions, encouraged by cheap credit facilities and sophisticated financial instruments. The basic principle is simple: A group of wealthy investors buys up companies and manages them privately, without reference to the stock exchange and its restrictive rules and without having to answer to shareholders.


    The idea is to get round the fundamental principles of capitalist morality and back to the law of the jungle.

     

    Excuse me but that is a rather inacurate thing to report.

    Capitalism according to one of the founders is the law of the jungle:

    “every individual will attempt to secure his own requirements as completely as possible to the exclusion of others.” Carl Menger (1840 -1921)

    Stengel: When we got into the Iraq war we didn’t know how long it would last. When we got into the Iraq war we didn’t know how much it would cost. It’s lasted longer, it’s cost more than we ever expected. The real toll is coming out now. The Pentagon is releasing a report saying, one in five American serviceman and women who have been in Iraq are coming back with brain injuries. Mild, traumatic brain injuries. More than 250,000 people. That legacy of that will last all of our life times and it’s incalculable.

    http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/01/why-bush-wants-to-legalize-the-nuke-trade-with-turkey/

    In likely reaction to the London Times report, the Bush Administration quietly announced on January 22 that the president would like Congress to approve the sale of nuclear secrets to Turkey. As with most stories of this magnitude, the U.S. media has put on blinders, opting to not report either Edmonds’ story or Bush’s recent announcement.

     

    Edmonds says “several arms of the government were shielding what was going on” which included an entire national security apparatus associated with the neoconservaties who have profited by representing Turkish interests in Washington. As Justin Raimondo [url=rhttp://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=12166]recently reported[/url] in Antiwar.com:

    …this group includes not only Grossman, but also Paul Wolfowitz, chief intellectual architect of the Iraq war and ex-World Bank president; former deputy defense secretary for policy Douglas J. Feith; Feith’s successor, Eric Edelman; and Richard Perle, the notorious uber-neocon whose unique ability to mix profiteering and warmongering forced him to resign his official capacity as a key administration adviser … Edmonds draws a picture of a three-sided alliance consisting of Turkish, Pakistani, and Israeli agents who coordinated efforts to milk U.S. nuclear secrets and technology, funneling the intelligence stream to the black market nuclear network set up by the Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan. The multi-millionaire Pakistani nuclear scientist then turned around and sold his nuclear assets to North Korea, Libya, and Iran.
    Is the Bush Administration seeking to exonerate these “officials” with its plea to allow Turkey to obtain U.S. nuclear secrets? Besides Grossman, who else was involved in Edmonds’ grim tale of the nuke-for-profit underground? As the news that U.S. officials have allegedly been supplying Turkey with nuclear technology begins to creep in to the mainstream media, the Bush team appears to be moving to legalize the whole shady operation.

    Antonia Juhasz of the group Oil Change International told IPS the issues of oil and permanent military bases are related.

    "We've got the Bush administration pushing aggressively for an (Iraqi) law that would give oil companies 20- to 25-year contracts for oil in Iraq and if they were to be at work for an extended length of time, they would need security," she said.

    "If the U.S. military is going to stay in Iraq for 20 or 35 years, they're going to need bases," she added.

     

    Why invade Iraq (had nothing to do with 911 and did not have 'weapons of mass destruction) if not for the coveted 'oil law'?

    Why kill off 1,000,000 innocent people for profit?

    Why destroy the lives of as many Americans?

    Why torture for profit?

    I think the answer is self-evidently hidden in plane site.

    I told you early Wednesday morning that much of the Middle East and most of India lost Internet access when an undersea cable was cut (it turns out that two cables were cut). Now, a third cable or possibly a fourth has apparently been severed, and the entire nation of IRAN HAS ZERO INTERNET ACCESS. UPDATE 10:52 AM 2/2/2008: Note that Iran is currently online -- the questions, still unresolved, are: 1) Did Iran experience an outage yesterday; 2) were 2, 3 or 4 cables cut; and 3) was it sabotage or accident?

    In a way, it is a political tale -- for, amazingly, these leftists came to power by finding their way into the right, after a long pilgrimage (Heilbrunn uses the biblical term "exodus") that brought them from 1950s anti-communism to Scoop Jackson centrism to their "redemption" under Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush (but pointedly not under George H.W. Bush, who called them the "crazies in the basement").

    Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does—and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU. But there may be more to it than that. One business executive, who showed me his InfraGard card, told me they have permission to “shoot to kill” in the event of martial law.

    No Arab or Islamic country armed even with the smallest of  atomic bombs will be ready to hit Israel. And that, is because Israel is a small country interwoven and surrounded by Palestinian and Arab nations.

    The explosion of an atomic bomb will kill the Palestinians and Arabs too. The radio-active fallout will reach the entire Middle-East including Iran itself.

    Thus the brawl surrounding the danger of the atomic Iran against Israel is silly and is only a pretext to attack that country, similar to the lies about the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq before colonizing it.

    On the afternoon of February 1, 2008, I was stopped yet again at a suspicionless internal Homeland Security checkpoint on SR86 in Southern Arizona near mile post 146. The location is over 40 miles North of the border.

    This was the fifth time in three weeks I've been stopped & seized at this checkpoint absent reasonable suspicion. This time however, Homeland Security rolled out the red carpet.

    Normally, there are three or four agents manning the checkpoint with two patrol vehicles parked nearby. This time the scenario were dramatically different.

    Present were no less than twelve agents visible at any given time along with six Homeland Security vehicles lining the entry to the checkpoint. There was also a large United States flag flying over one of the trailers - something that hasn't been present before. Perhaps the agents figured the large American flag would somehow mask their un-American activities.

    As I first came to a stop at the checkpoint, several agents converged on my vehicle and one can be heard pounding on the truck near time marker 01:15. About nine seconds later, another agent to the rear of my vehicle can be heard yelling, "Hi Terry". This of course clearly indicates the agents knew exactly who I was and, by extension, that I wasn't an illegal alien. Nonetheless, the agents continued to detain me at the checkpoint for several minutes in order to harass and intimidate.

    As the suspicionless seizure of my person continued, a Homeland Security agent can be seen waving at me near 02:09 while several high(er) ranking agents can be seen near 02:13 standing in the background looking on with satisfaction. Whether or not they were also onscene to make sure things didn't get out of hand during the staged confrontation is unknown.

    As time progressed, another agent wearing blue 'inspection' gloves and carrying a sprint camera phone (service issue?) can be seen walking around the vehicle methodically taking photographs. His name tag indicates he is 'J. Gonzalez'. The tags appear to be attached with velcro however and are easily removed. As such, I give little credence to the validity of a name displayed on a tag - especially when the agents refuse to verify their identity.

    Near 02:39, one of the agents who initially waved at me can be seen shaking hands with another agent. Finally, near 03:22, the same agent who yelled my name during the initial stop, yelled 'Bye Terry' after I was given permission to go on my way after Homeland Security finished having its fun.

    I also note the stopping agent, 'K. June' according to her name tag, refused to face me after directing me to stop. Instead, she pressed herself up against the cab of the vehicle between the two side doors just out of view. This was the same agent who stopped me on January 8th and during a night stop with drug dogs on January 23rd. Another male agent also hid from me while pressing himself up against the passenger side of the cab between the front and rear doors.

    Approximately thirty minutes after I passed through the checkpoint, only four or five agents remained on-scene to conduct operations. This means the rest of the gang with guns left the scene quickly after the staged show of force was over.

    While watching the video, please consider the professionalism of these so-called 'Border Patrol' agents that are more interested in harassing individuals absent reasonable suspicion than patrolling the border. Also ask yourself how much illegal traffic crossed the border forty miles to the South while over 12 Homeland Security agents played domination games along a public highway that never intersects the border at any point.

    The 4th amendment was specifically created to protect us against this type of arbitrary enforcement activity by over-reaching federal agencies. It would seem however that the 'writ of assistance' is alive and well in modern day America and everyone is now considered a suspect (less)

    Oil and petrochemical products will be traded in Iranian Rials, as well as all other hard currencies, the statement quoted Iranian Oil Minister Gholam Hossein Nozari as saying. About 20 brokers are already active in the market, it said.

    "The bourse provides an economic opportunity for Iranians, other countries and foreign customers," Nozari was quoted as saying.

    Iran produces more than 20 million tons of petrochemical products per year.

    Iran has already registered for another oil bourse, in which it has said it hopes to trade oil in Euros instead of dollars, to reduce any American influence over the Islamic Republic's economy.

    Actaully: The Constitution is a partisan document. Those who enforce involuntary taxation over-power those who want no part of it, by law, according to The Constitution.

    See these:

    http://www.amazon.com/Proceedings-Debates-Convention-Constitution-Philadelphia/dp/0942301005/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204059958&sr=1-2

    The Nationalist Hamilton, and others, usurped the power to issue fraudulent currency. They won the partisan issue against liberty.

    Here is the before and after affects of that usurpation:

    http://www.amazon.com/Shayss-Rebellion-American-Revolutions-Battle/dp/0812218701/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204060104&sr=1-1

    The illegal supression of a rebellion against illegal fraudulent currency was 'called' Shays's Rebellion as "Insurgents" fought a Standing Army and the former "Rebels" (actual former members of the "Rebel" Army) lost. The illegal State Agents won the battle but lost their fraudulent currency scheme.

    In order to regain the power to make fraudulent 'legal' currency and Nationalize that POWER the legal criminals had to change the voluntary association of separate States under the Articles of Confederation into The Constitution.

    This:

    http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.articlei.html#section8

    To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;

    SUPPRESS INSURRECTIONS

    See here:

    http://www.amazon.com/Whiskey-Rebellion-Frontier-Epilogue-Revolution/dp/0195051912/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204060474&sr=1-2

    People were forced to pay taxes with gold despite a situation whereby no gold was available due to 'Gresham's Law' which is simple. When fraudulent currency is issued the gold leaves the place where that fraudulent currency is issued. The 'insurgents' and the 'rebels' adapted to the situation by making whiskey and using whiskey as currency. When the legal criminals demand gold as a tax on the only remaining currency (whiskey) the people know by then that the government has turned rotten. They 'smell a rat' and they fight back. They fight back with protests first.

    Here is what happend:

    http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/whiskey/text.html

    That is George the first (first after 'the revolution') suppressing a fraudulent currency revolt, which later became known as "The Whiskey Rebellion".

    Here is how Franklin puts it:

    http://www.perfecteconomy.com/pg-parable-of-perfect-economy.html

    "We would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters, had it not been that they took from us our money, which created great unemployment and dissatisfaction. Within a year, the poor houses were filled. The hungry and homeless walked the streets everywhere."

    The shame of having this Dooms Day enforced upon America is contrasted by how much more POWERFUL  The People have become since those early fights for liberty (where The People lost).

    See:

    http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-03/ff_free

    Now look here:

    http://www.groundreport.com/Politics/Confusion-on-Money_1

    Currency is POWER. The greater the accuracy of the currency the greater will be the POWER of currency. The greater the accuracy of the currency the lower will be the cost of the currency. The lower the cost of the currency the greater will be the purchasing POWER of the currency. This is the opposite of 'inflation'. Please see how many people are duped.

    Think about this:

    As the supply of POWER (currency in the form of electricity and fuel) increases the cost of power decreases while purchasing power increases since POWER reduces the costs of production.

    If that is difficult to understand do something simple. Do the formula in reverse. Imagine what happens when electricity and gas PRICE goes up. What happens?

    When the price of gas and electricity doubles in one month what happens to your costs? When the price of gas and electricity goes up by ten (another zero is added to the old price) what happens to your pay check? Does the employer say: "You are going to get a raise since the price of electricity and the price of fuel has gone through the roof."?

    Use your own brain - please.

    Use it or lose it.

    “Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. …Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

    This “Iran - American” deal raised concerns in Israel therefore they invited McCain, the Republican candidate to visit Tel Aviv and asked him to visit Baghdad to be informed about what has been achieved talking with the Iranians, promised him that if the mission is successful, then he will get the support of Tel Aviv and the Zionist lobby in America presidential election.

    The real issue now is whether the emboldened leadership in Tehran shares the Bush administration's sense of urgency. It will carefully weigh its options. Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki announced on Monday that Tehran "recently requested for membership" of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Ahmadinejad will be attending the SCO's summit in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Meanwhile, Iran's proposal to Russia to form a gas cartel is set to take off at a meeting of gas-producing countries in Moscow in June.

    Two massive failures by the American media, the Democratic Party, and the American people have paved the way for Cheney’s long planned attack on Iran. One failure is the lack of skepticism about the US government’s explanation of 9/11. The other failure is the Democrats’ refusal to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush for lying to the Congress, the American people, and the world and launching an invasion of Iraq based on deception and fabricated evidence.

    If an American president can start a war exactly as Adolf Hitler did with pure lies and not be held accountable, he can get away with anything. And Bush and his evil regime have.

    Unconfirmed sources report that 'guys in the know' in Vegas have increased the odds that America will be going to war with Iran within 6 months to 3 to 2. The odds on going to war with Iran had been holding steady for several months at 10 to 1 against until recent developments caused a reassessment of the situation.

    Nonsensical on its face, the Petraeus/Crocker testimony is just another mask in the macabre theatre of lies that the Bush regime has told in order to justify its wars of naked aggression against Muslims.
    The three-week "cakewalk" war that would be paid for by Iraqi oil revenues is now into its sixth year. According to Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, the cost of the war to Americans is between three and five trillion dollars. Five trillion dollars equals the entire US personal and corporate income tax revenues for two years.



    Much of the Dooms Day Parade focuses on the criminal war that happens to be controlling the flow of oil.

    Oil is the stuff that is used to leverage the use of The Dollar or back The Dollar.

    Oil backs The Dollar.

    If The Dollar collapses to other part of The Dooms Day Parade is exposed.

    Dooms Day A:

    War, death, destruction, even nuclear war death and destruction.

    Dooms Day B:

    Financial collapse at home, recession, depression hardship and an end to ‘The American Dream’ is upon us – for some reason.

    Dooms Day A is fought, supposedly, to ‘fight them over there’ before they have to be fought ‘here’.

    The message is clearly a huge lie with an obvious hidden aspect.

    Oil power must be stolen to secure the power to purchase with The Dollar.

    This is exactly what is known as The Dollar Hegemony.

    The unspeakable message is clearly a desire to torture and mass murder (people who have oil) so as to avoid working harder for our luxuries.

    Really; as devilish as that seems at first blush the message is just that – exactly.

    Go ahead and torture and murder as many people as necessary so long as I can still buy all things I want without having to work harder – please.

    Torture and murder is 'severe' or 'extreme' you may rationalize?

    Knowing is not rationalizing. Knowing is knowing.

    The war in Iraq was lost before the first shot was fired. The conflict never had the support of the American people and Iraq never posed a threat to US national security. The whole pretext for the war was based on lies; it was a coup orchestrated by elites and the media to carry out a far-right agenda. Now the mission has failed, but no one wants to admit their mistakes by withdrawing; so the butchery continues without pause.  

    Dooms Day B and Dooms Day A, again, are the two heads of the Dooms Day Parade.

    Wipe 'them' off the face of the earth is Dooms Day A.

    The Dollar will soon be worthless is Dooms Day B.

    The Dollar Hegemony is the name of the organized crime cartel that has the power to orchestrate and maintain the Dooms Day Parade. The sooner it is worthless the sooner people can prosper.

    The void need not occur in the absense of The Dollar power. Many forms of currency can rapidly replace the void so long as the people produce and maintain the currency that replaces The Dollar. If the criminal cartel replace the dollar the new currency will be as bad or worse than the dollar fraud.

    Does that sound familiar at all?

    “The construction of I.G. Auschwitz has assured I.G. a unique place in business history. By adopting the theory and practice of Nazi morality, it was able to depart from the conventional economics of slavery in which slaves are traditionally treated as capital equipment to be maintained and serviced for optimum use and depreciated over a normal life span. Instead, I.G. reduced slave labor to a consumable raw material, a human ore from which the mineral of life was systematically extracted. When no usable energy remained, the living dross was shipped to the gassing chambers and cremation furnaces of the extermination center at Birkenau, where the S.S. recycled it into the German war economy – gold teeth for the Reichsbank, hair for mattresses, and fat for soap. Even the moans of the doomed became a work incentive, exhorting the remaining inmates to greater effort.”

    “Conditions were such that sickness was a pervasive fact of life among the inhabitants of Monowitz. The hospital wards built by I.G. were so inadequate that even the S.S. suggested additional wards be built. I.G. refused because of the cost.”

    But this, as R. Lane would doubtless point out, is "the exception that proves the rule." In contrast, look at the trouble that was caused when a few surviving Jews in the Warsaw ghetto were allowed to lay hands on a few handguns on April 19, 1943 (a date which Janet Reno decided to commemorate 50 years later by gassing and incinerating a bunch of our own innocent women and babies in a church at Waco, Texas for daring to possess perfectly legal firearms).

    The point of the ‘human rights’ charges is to reverse roles:  Venezuela, the victim of US and vassal class’ coups and assassinations is labeled a human rights abusers while the real executioners are portrayed as ‘victims’.  This is a common propaganda technique used by aggressor regimes and classes to justify the unilateral exercise of brutality and repression.

    Across the border in Colombia, the US has made Venezuela's neighbour the Israel of Latin America. Under "Plan Colombia", more than $6bn in arms, planes, special forces, mercenaries and logistics have been showered on some of the most murderous people on earth: the inheritors of Pinochet's Chile and the other juntas that terrorised Latin America for a generation, their various gestapos trained at the School of the Americas in Georgia. "We not only taught them how to torture," a former American trainer told me, "we taught them how to kill, murder, eliminate." That remains true of Colombia, where government-inspired mass terror has been documented by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and many others. In a study of 31,656 extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances between 1996 and 2006, the Colombian Commission of Jurists found that 46 per cent had been murdered by right-wing death squads and 14 per cent by Farc guerrillas. The para militaries were responsible for most of the three million victims of internal displacement. This misery is a product of Plan Colombia's pseudo "war on drugs", whose real purpose has been to eliminate the Farc. To that goal has now been added a war of attrition on the new popular democracies, especially Venezuela.

    After the meeting between Cheney and King Abdullah on the same trip, Saudi sources let it be known to the media that Abdullah had told Cheney that his government opposed any U.S. military strike against Iran. That suggested that Cheney had brought up the military option in Riyadh as well.

    As a result, going into 2008, the United States finds itself in the anomalous position of being unable to pay for its own elevated living standards or its wasteful, overly large military establishment. Its government no longer even attempts to reduce the ruinous expenses of maintaining huge standing armies, replacing the equipment that seven years of wars have destroyed or worn out, or preparing for a war in outer space against unknown adversaries. Instead, the Bush administration puts off these costs for future generations to pay or repudiate. This fiscal irresponsibility has been disguised through many manipulative financial schemes (causing poorer countries to lend us unprecedented sums of money), but the time of reckoning is fast approaching.

    Partnership is the heartbeat of Islamic economics. “Underlying the system is the philosophy of risk sharing: the lender must share the borrower’s risk, making the two in effect partners, injecting a strong social component into the financial system. This concept separates Islamic Finance from Western Finance, which seeks to maximize profits and minimize loss through diversification and risk transfer.” Also, money must be put to work. Because Islamic finance prohibits interest, it seeks revenues from rents, royalties, business profits, or commodity trading; a mortgage, for example, represents a “rent to buy” arrangement. Thus, conceptually, Islamic economics is the opposite of Western finance, which revolves around the individual’s self-interest.

    Put forth a robust defense of the free market as the most morally and materially satisfying economic system and you invite all manner of invective and accusation. What are you, some kind of dissenter?

    The invitation for all manner of invective and accusation is a problem resulting from something called ‘guilt by association’.

    +++++++++ 

    Involuntary Capitalism is almost no different than Involuntary Socialism; therefore an argument against Involuntary Capitalism is an argument against Involuntary Socialism. The association of guilt concerns the method of inventing, creating, and maintaining human inter-action. If the method is to lie, cheat, rob, rape, torture, and mass murder the method is guilty of lying, cheating, robbing, raping, torturing, and mass murdering. This is an unfortunate case of mistaken identity. Capitalism is not bad. Socialism is not bad. People who lie, cheat, rob, rape, torture, and mass murder are bad. Capitalism is not ‘guilty’ of lying, cheating, robbing, raping, torturing, and mass murdering, and neither is Socialism, Communism, National Socialism, or Fascism guilty by association. People are guilty. People are guilty of associating the guilt of a person with the method used by the person or the people involved in human inter-action.

    General Motors developed a prototype electric car which could go fast and emit no exhaust fumes or carbon emissions. Like a mobile phone, it plugged in at night, and would be ready to drive in the morning. The electricity needed costs a fraction of the price of petroleum for the same travel distance. The auto and oil industries lobbied fiercely to defeat laws aimed at promoting the electric car.
    ++++++++++++ 

    These are pieces to a puzzle concerning how the human species inter-acts. We are current beings. We exist in current time. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow never arrives, and today is always now. Today is currently passing by one second at a time as We The People inter-act with each other. We pass each other and we pass things to and from each other in our time. How do we manage to pass each other and pass things to and from each other in our time? Is this a puzzle now? Can you please pass the salt? What time is it? How about a word or two, a penny for your thoughts? 

    I am not begging. This is like a test for the reader; you will not pass or fail as you pass this sentence describing these questions concerning our time as we inter-act. The ability to produce power in our time is an ability to make power available to every human being in quantities that are almost unimaginable. This is physically factual. The Sun generates the power and we can now turn that power into electricity. That is now possible and that fact is not insignificant. Ignoring that significant fact is much like ignoring the fact that a criminal has the power to injure you and your loved ones.  

    Ignorance can be blissful in our time as We The People march on down into Dooms Day wondering which method is the best method of remaining ignorant. We are inventive beings. We are capable of reason. What possible reason explains the reluctance to know the facts about power? Power produced can be invested into the production of power producing products. One day there is one power producing product. The next day there are two power producing products. Now there is twice as much power being produced. The power needed to make another power producing product doubled. Make two more power producing product and the power supply doubles again. Now there is four times as much power due to investments into the production of power producing products. The sky is the limit.  

    Power produced into a state of over-supply causes the price of power to drop. The limit is then a situation where power is available to every single human being who can use power at a cost that is zero. That is the human limit. The sky, or the Sun, is the physical limit.  

    When power is produced into a state of over-supply and the cost of power reaches for zero a strange thing also happens. People increase their purchasing power. People can buy more things and work less to earn those purchases. That fact is a physical relationship concerning the cost of producing things. Power lowers the costs of production. 

    This is easy to see. What happens to our power to earn the things we purchase when power becomes scarce? What happens when the price of oil doubles? What happens when the price of oil halves? What happens when the price of electricity doubles or halves? What happens when the price of natural gas or propane doubles or halves? 

    The test isn’t silly. It is a thought process that requires the power to reason. We The People have that power. Our ‘leaders’ pretend to be ignorant. I think they lie. Are we guilty by association?

    Spanish control in the Philippines facilitated an accelerated exchange with the great Asian country. The Qin dynasty, which ruled China, tried to limit this kind of unfavorable commercial operation with foreign countries as much as possible. It was allowed only through the port of Canton, today called Guangzhou. Britain and Spain had great deficits because of the low demand of the enormous Asiatic country, related to English goods manufactured in the metropolis, or Spanish products coming from the New World that were not essential to China. Both of them had begun to sell opium.

    Large-scale opium trade was at first dominated by the Dutch through Jakarta, Indonesia. The English observed the profits that were close to 400 percent. Their opium exports which, in 1730, were 15 tons, grew to 75 in 1773, shipped in crates weighing 70 kilograms each; with this they bought porcelain, silk, spices and Chinese tea. Opium, not gold, was the currency Europe used to acquire Chinese goods.

    The author of the link and quote above is persona-non-persona by "Western" standards. This is a case of dehumanization for the expressed purpose of censorship which is a means by which the flow of accurate currency is interrupted. Is that a confusing series of words? How about a modern equivalent?

    A troll is a person who lurks in forums and jumps out from under his or her troll bridge posting insults and causing trouble. The troll doesn’t target anyone, mind you; the troll is very specific concerning specific things written by other people as those specific posts link the author to the reader. The troll bridge is the link between the author and the reader. The troll cannot stand by as the authors and the readers cross the bridge. The troll must interrupt that flow of data. Reason may not have anything to do with the behavior of the troll.

    The link I am linking to the reader is a similar example on many levels. In this case the stated reason for allowing opium to flow into China while things “Made in China” flow out of China is “Profit” and not merely an equitable profit (whereby everyone profits some) these “Profits” are enormous for specific people at the expense of specific people. The reason for this type of currency flow is unreasonable when employing human moral conscience. Even the employment of the scientific method cannot offer a reasonable explanation for this type of currency flow. Opium flows into China while things “Made in China” flow out of China and the author offers his understanding concerning that flow of currency.

    Above is a very simple description of the term “Trade Deficit”. Gold flows from one country into another country as things “Made in China” flow from one country to another country. If this type of ‘deficit’ continues for long the Gold will pile up in China until such time as people in China want to buy something that is not “Made in China”. For those who are not in China and for those who are using Gold to buy things ‘Made in China” the amount of Gold lowers. When the amount of Gold lowers the value of Gold increases and this phenomenon is called “Economics” in general and to be specific concerning this transfer of Gold for things “Made in China” the name of this phenomenon is “Gresham’s Law”.

    Back at home where Gold is evaporating the home boys want currency and so they invent currency. Some of the home boys invent Whiskey as currency while other home boys invent paper (I.O.U.) currency. Then again there are even more industrious home boys who invent something called “Legal Tender” and this type of currency is the stuff that is good for tax payments. An official stamp of approval is written into law concerning the special interest of “Legal Tender” and that special interest is, again, the special ability to “PAY TAXES” with “Legal Tender”.

    At this time the reader may decide to fix the deficit problem by printing more “Legal Tender” so as to buy more of the things that are “Made in China”. Is that a Novel Idea?

    RECAP:

    Gold goes into China as things “Made in China” flow out of China. Less Gold and more things “Made in China” exist at home due to this “Trade Deficit”. Home boys invent any currency that can fill the void while Gold becomes scarce at home. “Legal Tender” wins the competition at home for “THE” currency that can be used to “PAY” or else (taxes).

    Note: A society that does not have current flow of currency (in some form) is like a human body that does not have blood flowing through it, or oxygen flowing through it, or water flowing through it, or food flowing through it. A society without currency (stuff flowing through it) dies just like a human body dies from lack of blood, oxygen, water, or food.

    Gold flows out of society and in place of Gold the home boys create a currency monopoly like a transfusion of infected blood from an Aids Patient into an anemic body suffering from a serious wound. As the good blood drains out of the healthy body there is a flow of bad blood going into the body to keep it alive. That bad blood is invented, produced, issued, and maintained by legal criminals at HOME. They are apt to blame the poor condition of the home body on their victims. They are apt to blame China for this poor condition at HOME. Are the criminals poor? They are apt to blame this poor condition at HOME on the people at home. They are not poor. They are filthy rich and they trade in drugs, torture, and mass murder. They are apt to blame people like the author of the link that inspires these words for the condition at HOME.

    The Iranian counter-response to sanctions and to its demonization as a rogue or pariah state has been to develop a "Look East" foreign policy that is, in itself, a challenge to American energy hegemony in the Gulf. The policy has been conducted with great skill by Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, who was educated in Bangalore, India. While focused on massive energy deals with China, India, and Pakistan, it looks as well to Africa and Latin America. To the horror of American neocons, an intercontinental "axis of evil" air link already exists – a weekly commercial Tehran-Caracas flight via Iran Air.

    Iran's diplomatic (and energy) reach is now striking. When I was in Bolivia early this year, I learned of a tour Iran's ambassador to Venezuela had taken on the jet of Bolivian President Evo Morales. The ambassador reportedly offered Morales "everything he wanted" to offset the influence of "American imperialism."

    Meanwhile, a fierce energy competition is developing among the Turks, Iranians, Russians, Chinese, and Americans – all placing their bets on which future trade routes will be the crucial ones as oil and natural gas flow out of Central Asia. As a player, Iran is trying to position itself as the unavoidable bazaar-state in an oil-and-gas-fueled New Silk Road – the backbone of a new Asian Energy Security Grid. That's how it could recover some of the preeminence it enjoyed in the distant era of Darius, the King of Kings. And that's the main reason why U.S. neo-Cold Warriors, Zio-cons, armchair imperialists, or all of the above, are throwing such a collective – and threatening – fit.



     

    Ahmadinejad has just concluded a tour of South Asia and, to the despair of American neocons, the Asian Energy Security Grid is quickly becoming a reality. Two years ago, at the Petroleum Ministry in Tehran, I was told Iran is betting on the total "interdependence of Asia and Persian Gulf geo-economic politics." This year Iran finally becomes a natural gas-exporting country. The framework for the $7.6 billion Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline, also known as the "peace" pipeline, is a go. Both these key South Asian U.S. allies are ignoring Bush administration desires and rapidly bolstering their economic, political, cultural, and – crucially – geostrategic connections with Iran. An attack on Iran would now inevitably be viewed as an attack against Asia.

    In a coordinated operation on May 7, Iranian intelligence agents arrested the terrorist network’s members, who were identified in Fars, Khuzestan, Gilan, West Azerbaijan, and Tehran provinces, the Intelligence Ministry announcement said.

    The group’s plans were devised in the U.S., according to the announcement, which added that they had planned to carry out a number of acts such as bombing scientific, educational, and religious centers, shooting people, and making public places in various cities insecure.

    One of the terrorists was killed in the operation, but the rest are in detention, the Intelligence Ministry said, adding that the group’s main objective was to create fear among the people.

    The United States Central Intelligence Agency comprehensively supported the terrorist group by arming it, training its members, and sponsoring its inhumane activities in Iran, the Intelligence Ministry stated.

    America's foreign policy is changing. After watching the neoconservatives lead the US into war, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama are both interested in returning to diplomacy. Even Bush's pistol is back in the holster.

    Because of the Afghan agreement to allow U.S. military bases to exist in Afghanistan, and for the first time in history, China and Russia combined forces in defense against U.S. aggression?

     

    Is that true?

    Where Are You, Conyers?

    In 2005, before John Conyers became chair of the House Committee on the Judiciary, he introduced a bill to explore impeaching the president and was asked by Lewis Lapham of Harpers why he was for impeachment then. He replied:

    “To take away the excuse that we didn’t know. So that two, or four, or ten years from now, if somebody should ask, ‘Where were you, Conyers, and where was the U.S. Congress?’ when the Bush administration declared the Constitution inoperative…none of the company here present can plead ignorance or temporary insanity [or] say that ‘somehow it escaped our notice.’”

    In the three years since then, the train of abuses and usurpations has gotten longer and Conyers has become chair of the committee. Yet he has dawdled and dawdled, and has shown no appetite for impeachment.

    On July 23, 2007, Conyers told Cindy Sheehan, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, and me that he would need 218 votes in the House and they were not there.

    A week ago, 251 members of the House voted to refer to Conyers’ committee the 35 Articles of Impeachment proposed by Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Saudi Arabia this weekend will convene a special summit on oil prices that could lead to cheaper crude on the world market.

    But a Saudi decision to produce more crude likely won't come without a demand: The Kingdom is expected to press the U.S. government to impose greater controls on oil trading and take steps to strengthen the dollar.

    The world's largest oil producer, stepping out of its usual role as de facto leader of OPEC, will host representatives of big oil producing nations, consumer countries and companies.

    I also want to make sure that we will take concrete steps towards eliminating our dependence on foreign oil. And I am confident that uh, the, the conflicts that we are in in both Iraq and Afghanistan have also a bearing on that.

    The idea reported above is half-true.

    Please think about that fact.

    The idea goes like this:

    If gasoline prices drop to $1.50 per gallon the American Economy will crash.

    The half true part is this:

    Wall Street, IMF, WTO, and The Dollar Hegemony (Legal Criminals) will lose their power over the American Economy if POWER (any power) is purchased by The People at a low cost.

    This is really that simple.

    Who will CRASH?

    Who will not CRASH?

    People who invest in and expect a return on the investment in Dollars will CRASH.

    People who invest in Solar Panels and Electric Cars will have Solar Panels and Electric Cars (if they do not borrow dollars to get them) so those people will not CRASH.

    People who invest in gasoline cars will CRASH if gasoline prices rise, however if gasoline prices drop to $1.50 per gallon they will not CRASH.

    Employers who are heavily leveraged (borrowed dollars to stay afloat at high interest rates i.e. 3 percent or more) will CRASH.

    The Dollar Economy will CRASH.

    Why not employ an honest currency before the Crash?

    One example of an honest currency:

    http://www.perfecteconomy.com/pg-parable-of-perfect-economy.html

    Why not employ an honest currency after the dollar Crash?

    This is as simple as cutting the Visa Credit Card in half and purchasing a Discover Card. When one form of currency no longer works, employ one that does work.

    The "powers that be" will try to enforce another dishonest currency after and during the Dollar Crash "to save America".

    Learn the whole truth, it is a process; not a possession.

    Islamic finance has become the fastest-growing, most dynamic sector of global finance. Every Western-style financial product has its sharia, i.e. Islamic law, compliant instrument: microfinance, mortgages, oil and gas exploration, bridge building, even sponsorship of sporting events. Islamic finance is innovative, flexible, and potentially very profitable. “Operating in 70 countries with about $500bn in assets, it is poised to expand geometrically.”

    I delivered copies of the petition on CD to Ed Royce. The legal Notice & Demand for redress was accepted by an office person who refused to sign the legal document titled: Proof of Service. The Legal Notice & Demand for redress intends to record an official record concerning Ed Royce’s official answers to 7 petitions for redress.

    My comments to Ed Royce’s office worker included an explanation of how Ed Royce’s failure to answer the petitions constitutes an answer to the petitions; he will be officially recognized as a representative who ignores the petitions for redress if he fails to reply to me as instructed on the legal Notice & Demand.

    This is how people contend the authority of the elected “representatives”.  Who does the elected “representatives” represent if the “representatives” ignore a legal Notice and Demand?

    The legal Notice and Demand merely asks for an official response (admit or deny) to 7 specific grievances.

    Example:

    http://www.givemeliberty.org/RTPLawsuit/SignPetitions.htm

    That is the petition site.

    Here is one of the seven petitions:

    http://www.givemeliberty.org/FreedomDrive/Redress/PetitionWar.htm

    PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES

    RELATING TO THE APPLICATION OF THE
    ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES
    IN HOSTILITIES IN
    IRAQ WITHOUT
     A CONGRESSIONAL DECLARATION OF WAR


    Here is an example of what is demanded in the legal Notice and Demand:

    WE THE PEOPLE instruct the President and each member of Congress to respond to this Petition by providing formal, specific answers to the following questions:
     

    1.
    Do you admit that the War Powers Clauses of the United States Constitution provides Congress with the power to "define and punish…offenses against the Law of Nations" (U.S. Constitution, Art. 1, § 8, cl.10), and the power to "declare War . . . ." (U.S. Constitution, Art. I, § 8, cl. 11), and the power to "make rules for the government and regulation of the [armed forces of the United States]" (U.S. Constitution, Art. I, § 8, cl. 14), and the power to "provide for the calling forth of the [National Guard and National Guard Reserve]…." (U.S. Constitution, Art. I, § 8, cl. 15), and the power to "provide for…governing such part of the [National Guard and National Guard Reserve]…." (U.S. Constitution, Art. 1, § 8, cl. 16)?


    Ed Royce has been served with a legal Notice & Demand to answer the above example with an offical answer sent to me by August 8, 2008. I will probably be sending that offical answer to Bob Schulz and We The People Foundation.

    I expect nothing. August 8, 2008 may come and go without an offical response from Ed Royce which will then be his offical response to the legal Demand & Notice. I may post the offical response right here after August 8, 2008 when that date passes.

    One week after the no-bid service deals were announced, the world caught its first glimpse of the real prize. After years of back-room arm-twisting, Iraq is officially flinging open six of its major oil fields, accounting for around half of its known reserves, to foreign investors. According to Iraq’s oil minister, the long-term contracts will be signed within a year. While ostensibly under control of the Iraq National Oil Company, foreign firms will keep 75 percent of the value of the contracts, leaving just 25 percent for their Iraqi partners.

    The "Enumerated Powers Act" (H.R. 1359) would compel Congress to identify their Constitutional authority for every law they pass. It wouldn't stop them from passing bad laws, but it sure would highlight the fact that most of what they do has no Constitutional authority at all.

    Every witness communicated the multifaceted inhumanity and stupidity of the state – our state – engaged in endless war. The audience was knowledgeable and receptive. Those not knowledgeable about American foreign policy, not receptive to a hot dose of reality without slick advertising every ten minutes, not curious about where their money goes, or not interested in how they themselves might need to do something were not in attendance.

    Consider who is lining up to replace Olmert.

    According to a poll conducted by the Israeli paper Haaretz, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is favored by most Israelis as their next Prime Minister. He’s the man who tore up the Oslo Accords in favor of the Neocon-penned "Clean Break Report," a roadmap to more nasty business. (Yes, some of the very same Neocon "thinkers" who have led the U.S. into the pit of jackals.)

    Another prime candidate for Prime Minister is Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni a former Mossad agent unwilling to give up the Golan Heights and quite willing to bomb Iran. Also as reported by Haaretz, Ariel Sharon’s inner circle is gathering their support for Ms. Livni.

    It was because of their strong relationship with the US that the Georgians considered it safe to have another go at asserting its will over the breakaway regions in the belief that the Russians wouldn’t dare to counter any Georgian moves against South Ossetia with Russian military action and, if they did, the US and the West would immediately come to their aid in the event of a Russian backlash against Georgian moves into South Ossetia. Certainly, Georgia would not have made any such move into South Ossetia without the backing of the US. It now seems, though, that both the US and Georgia have badly misjudged the Russian reaction and the US are unable to move. If they do, it will be the first time that the US and Russia have ever directly confronted each other in face to face open warfare – and we all know where that would eventually lead. As it is, American ‘advisors’ (mercenaries), have in all likelihood been in combat with Russian troops in this conflict as have Israeli ‘instructors’ (mercenaries).

    "We expect the United States to adopt a responsible approach. It is especially important to refrain from any steps that could directly or indirectly be taken by the Georgian leadership as encouragement of its revanchist ambitions and prompt a repeated tragic scenario," Russia's Foreign Ministry said.

     

    http://www.thefreedictionary.com/revanchist

    1. The act of retaliating; revenge.
    2. A usually political policy, as of a nation or an ethnic group, intended to regain lost territory or standing.

    This is a formula for an injection of US military and naval forces into Georgia of indeterminate scope and duration. It will certainly involve the presence of hundreds if not thousands of uniformed US military personnel on the ground, and a substantial number of warships in the region. The US is introducing this military force into a situation that remains highly unstable and combustible, raising the possibility of a direct military clash between the United States and Russia.


     

    ?


     

    Within minutes of Bush’s Rose Garden statement, Saakashvili spelled out its essential meaning in a televised address from Tbilisi. “You have heard the statement by the US president that the United States is starting a military-humanitarian operation in Georgia,” he said. “It means that Georgian ports and airports will be taken under the control of the US defense ministry...”

    He went on to call Bush’s “relief” mission a “turning point,” and characterized its import as “definitely an American military presence.”



    Definitely or "offically"?

    See here:

    http://www.kommersant.com/p-13081/mercenaries_Georgia_U.S._instructor/


     

    U.S.
    Military Instructors Command Hirelings in
    Georgia

     

    Thousands of mercenaries are fighting for Georgia in this burning conflict with South Ossetia. They are commanded by the U.S. military instructors, RIA Novosti reported with reference to a high-ranked officer of Russia’s military intelligence.

    “From 2,500 to 3,000 mercenaries fight against Russia’s peacekeepers on behalf of Georgia,” the unnamed source said. Amid them are the natives of Ukraine, some Baltic states and the Caucasus regions.

    The U.S. military instructors directly command and coordinate actions of mercenaries without being involved in actual fighting, the source specified. According to intelligence data, there are roughly 1,000 military instructors of the United States in Georgia.


    Back to here:

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20513.htm

    It is inconceivable that Washington was not intimately involved in the preparations for Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia. US military advisers virtually run the military of what Washington considers its key ally in the Cacausus, a strategically critical bridgehead between the oil-rich Caspian Basin and Western Europe.
     
    In 1999 the US launched the air war against Serbia. At the same time, the US organized the construction of a new pipeline to transport oil from the Caspian Basin, via Baku, through Georgia to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, bypassing Russian territory.

    It goes without saying that these effeminate men-children flock to play war, even as they avoid real debate, real disagreement, and real combat. Intimidated by a complex and uncontrollable world, they create in their own minds an ordered controllable fantasy. Hence the tidy attraction of socialism – but this ideological flirtation with super-centralized control of human activity is normally overcome by education and maturity – and for most moral people, ownership of perfection is granted to a higher, immortal power. It is eerie to witness the arrested intellectual and moral development on public display at AEI. But more frightening is AEI’s institutional avoidance of reality and justice, and its enthusiastic cultivation of what Hayek called the pretense of knowledge.

    The strangest aspect of the AEI panel was the fluidity of AEI’s pronouncements on the wrongness of the Russian military action against the Georgian state, its cities and population, AEI’s pointed criticism of Russia’s economic motivations, and AEI’s repeated claims for the rights of small states to be left alone, to rule themselves, to evolve. With each high-minded criticism of Russia’s actions over the past few weeks, I wondered why no one in the audience was physically wincing at how accurately AEI’s criticism applied to our own cavalier destruction of states, governments and cities, our own insistence on loyal puppet governors (like Saakashvili himself, supported by American taxpayer dollars, and Washington back-room dealings) as we occupy Iraq, and manipulate the governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and other countries around the world.

    In Lies We Trust

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Report+from+Iron+mountain+

    The Report from Iron Mountain

    “A viable political substitute for war must posit a generalized external menace to each society of a nature and degree sufficient to require the organization and acceptance of political authority.”


    NSSM 200

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=nssm+200&spell=1


    There is a major risk of severe damage to world economic, political, and ecological systems and, as these systems begin to fail, to our humanitarian values.

    The urban slum dwellers (though apparently not resent migrants) may serve as a volatile, violent force which threatens political stability. 

    In international relations, population factors are crucial in, and often determinants of, violent conflicts in developing areas. 

    There is no single approach which will solve the population problem. The complex social and economic factors involved call for a comprehensive strategy… 

    At the same time actions and programs must be tailored to specific countries and groups.


    Note: What is not reported in the documentary (In Lies We Trust) is an accounting of the Synthetic Oil Formula invented and employed during WWII by Germany to manufacture Oil fuels from Coal. Germany ran its military on Synthetic Oil.

    Here is a good book on that subject:

    http://www.amazon.com/Crime-Punishment-I-G-Farben/dp/0029046300

    Here is a quote from that book:

    “The construction of I.G. Auschwitz has assured I.G. a unique place in business history. By adopting the theory and practice of Nazi morality, it was able to depart from the conventional economics of slavery in which slaves are traditionally treated as capital equipment to be maintained and serviced for optimum use and depreciated over a normal life span. Instead, I.G. reduced slave labor to a consumable raw material, a human ore from which the mineral of life was systematically extracted. When no usable energy remained, the living dross was shipped to the gassing chambers and cremation furnaces of the extermination center at Birkenau, where the S.S. recycled it into the German war economy – gold teeth for the Reichsbank, hair for mattresses, and fat for soap. Even the moans of the doomed became a work incentive, exhorting the remaining inmates to greater effort.”

    “Conditions were such that sickness was a pervasive fact of life among the inhabitants of Monowitz. The hospital wards built by I.G. were so inadequate that even the S.S. suggested additional wards be built. I.G. refused because of the cost.”

    A Hollywood movie was also made on the subject of the synthetic oil deal between I.G. Farben and Standard Oil of New Jersey:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080754/

    For anyone who has any skepticism at all concerning the fact that Germany ran its miltary in WWII on synthetic oil I can offer the following:

    http://www.fischer-tropsch.org/primary_documents/gvt_reports/USNAVY/tech_rpt_145_45/rpt_145_45_sec2.htm#Engine%20Testing

    That is a study done after the war on German synthetic fuel.

    The connection between synthetic oil and population control has to do with who controls the power. If people are allowed to gain power, the elites will be less powerful in the effort to control the people. Synthetic fuel adds to the total supply of power so everyone can't have it or everyone will be powerful.

    Think about Iran for example. If Iran can begin to make electricity with Nuclear reactors they can increase their power and decrease using oil, natural gas, or coal to make electric power. They then have more power because they can sell more oil to Russia, China, Japan, Europe, and anyone else who needs it.

    America doesn't need oil from the Middle East. We can make sysntetic oil. We have plently of oil in Alaska.

    See here:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=The+oil+non-crisis

    Even if all the data above are lies the fact remains that Solar Panels, Wind (Jet turbine) generators, Algea bio-fuel, Vertical farming (Greenhouses), water making hydrogen fuel, and electric cars are all exponential growth industries that will empower the poeple and reduce the power exerted upon the people to control the people, starve the people, rob the people, rape the people, torture the people, and mass murder the people.

    Israel's involvement with the Georgian military has been somewhat overlooked in light of more blatant US support, such as the airlift of some 2,000 Georgian troops from Iraq at the start of the conflict. However Misha Glenny spotted it, writing in the New Statesman that Prime Minister Putin warned President Shimon Peres to "pull out your trainers and weapons or we will escalate our co-operation with Syria and Iran" – after which Israel dutifully complied.

    The media have covered such recent events as the Olympics, the selection of Joe Biden as the Vice Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, and what John McCain is going to do about the selection of the Vice President of the Republican Party. Now the media will focus on the national convention of the Democratic Party.

    The most important news for the month of August was the fact that President Bush has quietly sent the largest armada into the Persian Gulf since the Iraq war began in 2003, when there were six carrier groups. This is a huge number of ships to be concentrated in one location in peacetime.
    This story has been completely ignored by the news media all over the West. The only coverage is from special-interest websites. It was only on Saturday morning, August 23, that I learned what was going on.

    In an exclusive interview with CNN's Matthew Chance in the Black Sea city of Sochi Thursday, Putin said the U.S. had encouraged Georgia to attack the autonomous region of South Ossetia.

    Putin told CNN his defense officials had told him it was done to benefit a presidential candidate -- Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are competing to succeed George W. Bush -- although he presented no evidence to back it up.

    "U.S. citizens were indeed in the area in conflict," Putin said. "They were acting in implementing those orders doing as they were ordered, and the only one who can give such orders is their leader." Watch Putin accuse the United States »

    In other words, the CIA’s only real evidence was extracted by torture (the CIA admitted to ‘water boarding’ – an infamous torture technique inducing near death from drowning). The fact that Khaled repeatedly denied the accusations and that he only confessed after 5 years of torture in secret prisons renders the entire prosecution a case study in totalitarian jurisprudence. Having been subjected to unspeakable torture by US judicial investigators, facing accusations based on a confession extracted through torture, it is no wonder that Khaled refused a court appointed military lawyer – a lawyer who is part of a system of secret prisons, torture and ‘show trials’.

    If my guess is right, then it raises the suspicion that someone in the US specially created this conflict to worsen the situation and create an advantage in the competitive struggle for one of the candidates for the post of president of the United States," he said.

    Joe Biden on the ticket with Obama, as we said on Monday, is a big victory for the War Party, which will not, as a result, be shut out of power if the Democrats take the White House. Today Biden denounces the Iraq war in passionate language, and yet it seems like only yesterday that he bloviated on the need to invade with equal if not more passion. Indeed, as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden prevented any and all antiwar voices from being given a podium at the Senate hearings.

    Protesters here in Minneapolis have been targeted by a series of highly intimidating, sweeping police raids across the city, involving teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets. Last night, members of the St. Paul police department and the Ramsey County sheriff's department handcuffed, photographed and detained dozens of people meeting at a public venue to plan a demonstration, charging them with no crime other than "fire code violations," and early this morning, the Sheriff's department sent teams of officers into at least four Minneapolis area homes where suspected protesters were staying.

    Almost 9,800 tickets had been sold for the Rally for the Republic, being held in Minneapolis, which seeks to bring together activists who are anti-war, anti-government regulation, anti-immigration, anti-taxes, anti-Federal Reserve, anti-outsourcing, pro-individual liberty, pro-civil liberties and pro-Paul.

    The Ronvoys — fleets of buses and vans carrying Paul's loyalists — were to begin arriving Saturday. A few rally-goers planned to walk from Green Bay, Wis., and join up with Paul for the final miles of their Walk4Freedom. Other attendees are driving, carpooling or flying in for the convention alternative.

    That is the main components, in what up to day, is the cheapest wave energy technology in the world. It can even be built in wood or by choice bicycle parts! This is very good, in countries which have limited access to expensive metals, and heavy machining tools. Most of the parts in a generator, except wiring, can be made of wood or plastics.

     



     



     

    We can here see energy content in waves, The numbers means kW per hour, and meters of wave. South America, 97 kW per meter of wave, for example, that means, a Wavereaper™ device, which is 100 meters broad, would generate 9.7 mw, cost would be around 1200 000 Dollar, for that device. However, the revenue would be over 400 000 dollars monthly with current energy price.

     

    Add that to this:

    In essence, George Bush and his Israeli neocon "advisors" are livid that their puppet state of Georgia was invaded by the Russians, after Georgia, with American assistance and certainy, full foreknowledge, invaded one of their provinces that was trying to join Russia. The subsequent debacle highlighted by U.S. media film clips of burning or wrecked Georgian tanks (falsely indentified by American media sources as Russian) and reports of the panic stricken flight of the US -trained Georgian army enraged both Bush and his Israeli allies. It has become well-known that the Israelis were planning to attack Iran from two air bases in Georgia but the unexpected rout of the Georgian army forced them to rapidly flee the country, leaving their intelligence drones and trucks full of top secret papers behind for the Russians to capture. Naturally, none of this was ever reported in the American media.

    Corporate welfare is arguably the core business of some government departments. Many of the Pentagon's programmes deliver benefits only to its contractors. Ballistic missile defence, for example, which has no obvious strategic purpose and is unlikely ever to work, has already cost the US between $120bn and $150bn. The US is unique among major donors in insisting that the food it offers in aid is produced on its own soil, rather than in the regions it is meant to be helping. USAid used to boast on its website that "the principal beneficiary of America's foreign assistance programs has always been the United States. Close to 80% of the USAid's contracts and grants go directly to American firms." There is not and has never been a free market in the US.

     China’s state media today reports on the real reason behind the Wall Street meltdown and a subject that the mainstream US media dare not mention - the Federal Reserve’s overissuance of currency - which the Chinese say is part of a wider agenda to justify increased control over the global economy.

     China has previously threatened to liquidate its vast holding of US treasuries, amounting to $1.33 trillion, if Washington imposes trade sanctions to force a yuan revaluation. The Communist power has also repeatedly expressed its anger at the Fed’s indifference to the weakening dollar. If China were to dump the dollar it would likely set in motion a chain of events that would lead to a collapse of the greenback.

    Is the US already at war with Iran? In "America's Secret War", Vanguard correspondent Mariana van Zeller travels to the Iraq-Iran border to investigate claims that the United States is supporting militant groups that are attacking Iran. In the rugged Qandil mountains, she meets with up with anti-Iranian guerillas who have been launching deadly raids against the Islamic Republic. A good percentage of the fighters are women, and Mariana accompanies a small group of them through what many believe has become the frontline of the US's secret war with Iran.

    Is the world getting warmer?

    Yes.

    Has it ever been this warm before?

    Yes, MUCH warmer and long before "carbon emissions."

    Should we clean up industrial pollution?

    Of course, but notice how the "global warming" hysterics conveniently let polluters off the hook.

    We know EXACTLY who is putting mercury and other dangerous toxins in our air, soil and food. We don't have to guess. We know exactly what companies are doing it and where their plants are located.

    EXHAUSTION
    The experts say that the traditional sign of a bear market climax is a panic sell-off of shares. This is called exhaustion. Exhaustion can produce a bottom. It also creates a sucker's rally.
    In October 2002 the S&P 500 bottomed at 777. That was one of the strangest oddities in stock market history. On Friday the 13th, August 1982, the Dow bottomed at 777.
    The S&P 500 arrived at 777 in a most intriguing way. It closed below 800 in mid-2002. Then it soared back to about 950. Then it fell back to 777. Then it soared again to about 950. Then it fell back below 800. Only in the first quarter of 2003 did it begin its long trek back up. It peaked in late October 2007. Then the rout began.
    The bulls are waiting for the final sell-off. They tell people to stay in this market, yet they also predict a final sell-off.
    It seems to me that it is better to sell your shares – all of them – and short the market. This way, you profit from the final sell-off. But the analysts never mention this strategy, let alone recommend it.

     
    http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north662.html
     

    There seems to be a disconnect between the stock markets of the world and the world economy. The Hang Seng index of Hong Kong is down by two-thirds over the last year. Yet the Chinese economy, while slowing, still seems to be growing above 7%. These are government-supplied figures. We should not take them too seriously. But the trend is still positive.
    Are the Asian stock markets not forecasting really bad news to come in 2009? This is what bullish analysts ought to argue. We are told that the Hang Seng index is selling off because profit projections had been wildly optimistic a year ago. Maybe so, but the question remains: Why?
    The answer is the Austrian theory of the trade cycle. The economic boom is created by rising monetary inflation. The bust occurs when the rate of monetary expansion slows. The Chinese central bank is slowing the rate of monetary inflation. It had pumped in money (M1) at a rate of close to 20% per annum for several years. Year to year in September, M1 rose at less than 10%.
    In June of 2007, I predicted what I thought was going to happen in China.
    The bubble in China resembles the bubble 1995–2000 NASDAQ in the United States. The Chinese stock market is trading at a price/earnings ratio above 50. Some stocks are trading at 80. In a speech on June 12, Alan Greenspan commented, "Some of these price-earnings ratios are discounting Nirvana." But let us not forget that the NASDAQ reached a p/e ratio of more than 200 in December, 1999.
    In late January, I wrote this:
    At some point, China's central bank will be successful in slowing price inflation. The economic boom requires ever-larger percentage increases of the money supply. By merely following the policies of the previous year, the central bank will produce a recession. If the central bank is serious about slowing inflation through interest rate increases, it will see its goal achieved. Price inflation will in fact slow. The cause of the slowdown will be a recession in China.
    What could trigger this? A recession in the United States could. Falling demand for the goods produced by China's export sector will produce bankruptcies in China. They will order no more goods and services. These effects will ripple through the Chinese economy. In the absence of the recessionary efforts of central bank policy, these ripples could be contained by growth in the other sectors. But a reduction of Chinese economic growth is already in the pipeline. The central bank's policy of letting interest rates rise is sufficient to create a domestic recession.
    China is now where I thought it would be. China is cutting jobs in the export sector. The government is intervening to save jobs – the standard approach of governments all over the world.

    Royal Dutch Shell oil company and the Iraqi Oil Ministry have struck a secret, as-of-yet non-binding agreement that gives a monopoly over southern Iraq's natural gas to the energy giant. It marks the first time in over 35 years a Western oil company has played a major role in the country's most lucrative industry.

    Signed Sept. 22 and obtained by United Press International, the "Heads of Agreement" document -- basically a legal framework for a contract -- delegates Shell sole access to the reserves for the next 25 years, with an option to extend that term.

    Barack Obama is on record as advocating a military escalation in Afghanistan. Before sinking any deeper into that quagmire, we might do well to learn something about recent Afghan history and the role played by the United States.

    Less than a month after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, US leaders began an all-out aerial assault upon Afghanistan, the country purportedly harboring Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist organization. More than twenty years earlier, in 1980, the United States intervened to stop a Soviet “invasion” of that country. Even some leading progressive writers, who normally take a more critical view of US policy abroad, treated the US intervention against the Soviet-supported government as “a good thing.” The actual story is not such a good thing.

    That is a serious problem.

    Here are serious solutions, all of which have proven to be viable and all can operate at the same time where competition improves quality and reduces cost:

    http://www.perfecteconomy.com/pg-parable-of-perfect-economy.html


    quote:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Franklin explained that "If for instance a first man raises fowl, and a second raises feed, and the first intends in the next season to double his production, he may approach the second, wanting him to produce the additional feed required. They agree how much of the production of each will be traded to the other, and their eventual contracts are evidence of their promises to deliver to each other."

    "Their notes may then be circulated as currency."

    "The cultivator of the feed for instance may write a note against the fowl to be delivered to him, to pay for a doctor to take care of his family. The doctor may pay for goods with the same note at the local store. The store then will ultimately collect the fowl originally promised to the cultivator. When the production is delivered, the respective notes are fulfilled, and the money passes from circulation."

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Its burgomaster, Michael Unterguggenberger, faced an empty treasury, because the unemployed citizens could not pay their taxes; roads and bridges needed repair and parks needed maintenance, for which the town could not pay; and idle men and women earned no wages.

    He recognised that all three problems could be solved if he could find the connecting link.

    That link was money. The three problems coexisted because no one had any of it, and his simple solution was to create money locally.

    He issued numbered 'labour certificates' to the value of 32,000 schillings, in denominations of 1, 5 and 10 schillings, respectively. These became valid only after being stamped at the town hall, and depreciated monthly by 1 per cent of their nominal value.

    It was possible for the holders to 'revalue' them by the purchase, before the end of each month, of stamps from the town hall, in the process creating a relief fund.

    http://www.lysanderspooner.org/papercurrency.htm


    quote:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    THE principle of the system is, that the currency shall repre­sent an invested dollar, instead of a specie dollar.

    The currency will, therefore, be redeemable by an invested dollar, unless the bankers choose to redeem it with specie.

    Theoretically the capital may be made up of any property whatever. But, in practice, it will doubtless be necessary, in order to secure public confidence in the currency, that the capital should be property of a fixed and permanent nature, liable to few casualties and hazards, and yielding a constant, regular, and certain income, sufficient to make the PRODUCTIVE STOCK, here­after mentioned, worth ordinarily par of specie in the market.

    The best capital of all will probably be mortgages; and they may perhaps be the only capital, which it will ever be expedient to use.

    This capital is to be put into joint stock, held by Trustees, and divided into shares, of one hundred dollars each, or any other sum that may be thought best. [*10]

    This Stock may be called the PRODUCTIVE STOCK, and will be entitled to the dividends.

    The dividends will consist of the interest on the mortgages, and the profits of the banking.

    Another kind of Stock, which may be called Circulating Stock, will be created, precisely equal in amount to the PRODUCTIVE STOCK, and divided into shares of one dollar each.

    This Circulating Stock will be represented by certificates, scrip, or bills, of various denominations, like our present bank bills - that is to say, representing one, two, three, five, ten, or more shares, of one dollar each.

    These certificates, scrip, or bills of the Circulating Stock will be issued for circulation as a currency, by discounting notes, &c., as our bank bills are now.

    This Circulating Stock will be entitled to no dividends; and its value will consist wholly <fn1> in its title to be received, at its nominal value, in payment of debts due to the bank, and to be redeemed by PRODUCTIVE STOCK, unless the bankers choose to redeem it with specie. In law, the Circulating Stock will be in the nature of a lien upon the PRODUCTIVE STOCK.

    Islamic finance centers on the religious tenets of Islam and operates in a way to keep Muslims compliant with sharia, the religious law that comes directly from the Koran. Islamic activists, intellectuals, writers, and religious leaders have always upheld the prohibition of riba, the interest charged by moneylenders, and denounced gharar, which refers to any type of speculation. Under this belief, money must not become a commodity in itself to create more money. Islamic finance thus shuns hedge funds and private equities, because they simply multiply cash by stripping assets. Money serves as a means or instrument of productivity as originally envisioned by Adam Smith and David Ricardo. This principle is embodied in the sukuks, Islamic bonds. Sukuks always link to real investments - for example, to pay for the construction of a toll highway - and never for speculative purposes. This principle springs from the sharia’s ban on gambling as well as on the prohibition of any forms of debt and activities that trade risk.

    over and above the prime cost and contingent expenses, Which he obtains for, perhaps, eight or ten hours’ labor in merchandising; which is about thirty-six thousand times as much as the hardest working man obtains for the same time. With this sum he could obtain one hundred and forty-four thousand times an equivalent from females at 12 1/2 cents a day, or that of two hundred and eighty-eight thousand children at 61 cents a day!
    In Equitable Commerce the expenses of importation, insurance, etc., etc., and those of vending, would be added to prime cost, all of which would constitute ultimate cost, which would also constitute their price. The .labor of importing and vending would be paid in an equal amount of labor; so that if the importer employed ten hours in corresponding with the foreign merchant and receiving the goods, then he would get, upon equitable principles, ten hours of some other labor, which was equally costly to the performer of it.
    If scraping the streets we’re doubly as costly to comfort, clothing, tools, etc., the importer of foreign goods would get five hours of this labor for ten of his own!

    This would constitute the equitable reward of labor to both parties. COST being made the limit of price, thus works out the first proposition of our problem, the equitable reward of labor! Legislators! Framers of social institutions! Behold your most fatal error! You have sanctioned VALUE instead of COST as the basis of your institutions! Behold, also, the origin of rich and poor! the fatal pitfall of the working classes! the great political blunder! the deep-seated, unseen germ of the confusion, insecurity, and iniquity of the world! the mildew, the all-pervading poison of the social condition!

    On November 27 the Iraqi parliament voted by a large majority in favor of  a security agreement with the US under which the 150,000 American  troops in Iraq will withdraw from cities, towns and villages by  June 30,  2009 and from all of Iraq by  December 31, 2011. The Iraqi government will take over military responsibility for the Green Zone in Baghdad, the heart  of American power in Iraq, in a few weeks time. Private security companies  will lose their legal immunity. US military operations and the arrest of Iraqis  will only be carried out with Iraqi consent. There will be no US military  bases left behind when the last US troops leave in three years time and  the US military is banned in the interim from carrying out attacks on other  countries from Iraq.     

    The Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), signed after eight months of  rancorous negotiations, is categorical and unconditional. America’s bid to act as the world’s only super-power and to establish quasi-colonial control  of Iraq, an attempt which began with the invasion of 2003, has ended in  failure. There will be a national referendum on the new agreement next July, but the accord is to be implemented immediately so the poll will be  largely irrelevant. Even Iran, which had furiously denounced the first drafts  of the SOFA saying that they would establish a permanent US presence in  Iraq, now says blithely that it will officially back the new security pact after  the referendum. This is a sure sign that Iran, as America’s main rival in the  Middle East,  sees the pact as marking the final end of the US occupation  and as a launching pad for military assaults on neighbours such as Iran.

    The CIA is not supposed to operate inside the United States.

    Yet, they have their own permanent agent in the Minnesota governor's office.

    American mini-dictator generals and crime bosses knew that their global war plans would require massive numbers of committed killers, a goal that a volunteer force could not fulfill. A conscripted army of unwilling, underpaid, over-committed soldiers, who might follow orders to commit genocide, would be unsatisfactory for the task, especially when the focus of the killing turns to their own homelands. No, the committed killers who have volunteered to be underpaid and overworked in order to gain the right to kill were too few in number, so they had to be supplemented. This is the reason that the US has created massive armies and navies of high-paying "civilian" contract killers (mercenaries).

    Brinkley's Discussion of 9/11 Brinkley's charge that Falk is unfit for his UN role is quite remarkable, given Falk's stature. He is Professor Emeritus of International Law and Practice at Princeton University and currently Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He has had published (as author or editor) over 60 books by academic and other mainstream presses. He is also widely respected and sought after as a speaker and conference participant.

    Brinkley's case against Falk rests on linking him to the millions of Americans who believe the "unusual theory," as Brinkley calls it, that the 9/11 attacks were a "false flag" operation -- "a conspiracy planned and executed by the Bush administration." This is a theory of which Brinkley, he admits, had been unaware "until a row broke out last month between Falk and U.N. monitors who try to defend Israel."

    There's a theme that goes way back to the origins of Zionism. And it's a very rational theme: "Let's delay negotiations and diplomacy as long as possible, and meanwhile we'll 'build facts on the ground.'" So Israel will create the basis for what some eventual agreement will ratify, but the more they create, the more they construct, the better the agreement will be for their purposes. Those purposes are essentially to take over everything of value in the former Palestine and to undermine what's left of the indigenous population.

    quote:

    Press TV: Robert Gates and Admiral [Mike] Mullen have been talking about the 16-month timeline for withdrawal from Iraq is just one of the options, a slight difference from what Obama has been saying in the campaign. And, Hillary Clinton famously said she was prepared to obliterate all of Iran and kill 70 million citizens. On Iraq and Iran what do you see as changes?

    Chomsky: What happened in Iraq is extremely interesting and important. The few correspondents with real experience any whom know something have understood it. Patrick Cockburn, Jonathan Steele and one or two others.

    What has happened is that there was a remarkable campaign of non-violent resistance in Iraq, which compelled the United States, step-by-step, to back away from its programs and its goals. They compelled the US occupying forces to allow an election, which the US did not want and tried to evade in all sorts of ways.

    Then they went on from there to force the United States to accept at least formally a status of forces agreement, which if the Obama administration lives up to it, will abandon most of the US war aims. It will eliminate the huge permanent military bases that the US has built in Iraq. It will mean the US will not control decisions over how the oil resources will be accessed and used. And in fact just every war aim is gone.

    Of course there is a question of whether the US will live up to it and what you are reporting is among the serious indications that they are trying to evade living up to it. But what happened there is really significant, and a real credit to the people of Iraq, who have suffered miserably. I mean, the country has been absolutely destroyed, but they did manage to get the US to back away formally from its major war aims.

    In the case of Iran, Obama's statements have not been as inflammatory as Clinton's, but they amount to pretty much the same thing. He said all options are open. Well, what does all options mean? Presumably that includes nuclear war, you know, that is an option.

    There is no indication that he is willing to take the steps, say, that the American population wants. An overwhelming majority of the American population for years has been in favor, has agreed with the Non-Aligned Movement, that Iran should have the rights granted to the signers of the non-proliferation treaty, in fact to develop nuclear energy.

    In American politics, you can't do anything in the Middle East without the approval of Tel Aviv, at least on some level. It's impossible. I mean, I cannot think of a country that is so beholden to a small country like this, even a superpower, in all of history. I can't even think of it.

    IPS: And why is that?

    RB: Look at New York City. Look at the major newspapers. They have a Zionist agenda. They do. I'm not Jewish. I'm not anything. I don't care about the Israelis. And I'm not anti-Semitic. It's just a fact. I suggested to my publisher writing a book on Israel, and he said forget it. You can't talk about the reality of Israel. The only place you can talk about the reality of Israel is in Israel. They tell you things you will never hear in the United States.

    IPS: Like what?

    RB: For instance, why are people on Gaza so unhappy? Well, if you had to live in a prison, wouldn't you be unhappy? You would never get that in the New York Times. Look at the New York Times; it's almost an extension of Israel.

    IPS: What is the impact of the Gaza conflict on the future of Iran-Israel and United States relations? Have the recent attacks destroyed Hamas entirely?

    RB: No, it's impossible. Hamas is an idea. Hamas is not an organisation. Hamas is an idea, and unless the Israelis go in and force 1.5 million people into Egypt, they will never subdue Gaza. They can go in and they can slaughter the leadership and put 10,000 people in jail, and Hamas will come out stronger. The losers in this will be Fatah.

    quote:

    "It takes a lot to avoid a very simple truism," Turley argued. "That, if true, these would be crimes and we prosecute crimes. We call people criminals who commit them. It is very easy to say. All you need is the principals and the courage to say it."

    Turley said that he had "very little sympathy for the people that committed this torture. I've heard President Obama say we don't want talented people at the CIA looking over their shoulders. Well those talented people in this circumstance would be torturers."

    "But in reality nobody thinks that they're going to be prosecuted," Turley continued. "They have something called the estoppel defense where they can say that they were told by people like John Yoo and others that what they did was legal. That does not protect the president and the vice president, and they're the ones and the people just below them who deserve to be investigated and they must be prosecuted if they've committed war crimes or we will shred four treaties and at least four statutes."

    [Turley has more background about the estoppel arguments at his blog.]

    "And the problem here is it wouldn't make Obama an apologist it would make him an accessory," Turley argued. "He would be preventing the investigation of war crimes. How could he go from that and say that he's all about the rule of law?"

    In our opinion, we must first atone for the past and open our cards, so to speak.

    This means we must assess the real situation and write off all hopeless debts and "bad" assets.


    In effect, our proposal implies that the audit, accounting and ratings system reform must be based on a reversion to the fundamental asset value concept. In other words, assessments of each individual business must be based on its ability to generate added value, rather than on subjective concepts. In our opinion, the economy of the future must become an economy of real values. How to achieve this is not so clear-cut. Let us think about it together.

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21896.htm

    2 products.

    Product A is a no interest loan to home or business owners who pay off thier current interest bearing mortgage and begin paying a no interest loan instead.

    Product B is a 1 percent interest loan to the same home or business owners for use in the purchase of power producing products like solar panels, wind generators, electric cars, or any proven economic power "added value" purchase.

    Third. Excessive dependence on a single reserve currency is dangerous for the global economy. Consequently, it would be sensible to encourage the objective process of creating several strong reserve currencies in the future. It is high time we launched a detailed discussion of methods to facilitate a smooth and irreversible switchover to the new model.

     

    Product A and B, produced as a new reserve currency (backed by the mortgages and the power production devices purchased), can compete along side any other currency.

    On the one hand, investments in energy saving and alternative sources of energy will be curtailed. On the other, less money will be invested in oil production, which will result in its inevitable downturn. Which, in the final analysis, will escalate into another fit of uncontrolled price growth and a new crisis.

     

    Note how Putin connects "energy" and "currency".

    Some news on the "currency" issue is here:

    http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north682.html

    The case for price deflation rests on one primary idea: banks will not lend, even though they have reserves to lend. So far, this has proven to be the case. Banks are keeping excess reserves with the Federal Reserve, thereby refusing to lend money to the general public.
     

    Congress is not willing to accept this much longer. Neither is the Obama administration. So, the Federal Reserve System is going to have to fish or cut bait. It is going to have to decide whether or not it is going to subsidize the banking system: the decision of bankers to hold reserves with the Federal Reserve, thereby sterilizing the expansion of money that the Federal Reserve has produced since last September. I don't think the Federal Reserve wants either outcome. On the one hand, it is terrified by the zero-bound economy that it has created. On the other hand, it is terrified by the thought of what the expansion of the Federal Reserve's monetary base will do the money supply, and from there do to consumer prices. I feel their pain. I prefer not to.

     

    Please note the absence of linking energy with currency.

    What is power?

    The US government really has only two possibilities for financing its budget deficit. One is a second collapse in the stock market, which would drive the surviving investors with what they have left into “safe” US Treasury bonds. The other is for the Federal Reserve to monetize the Treasury debt.

     

    That does not make sense. Who would "bank" on a sinking ship?

    "There is anger, because everybody knows that this crisis is not our fault, that a business elite has destroyed our economy and has as yet to be made accountable for it," Mr Begg told the huge rally at Merrion Square in the heart of Dublin.

    And he dismissed Taoiseach Brian Cowan's assertion that "painful" public-sector cuts were "essential" to deal with the crisis.

    "There is only one action that will correct the damage that has been done and that is to get rid of all those who have committed this economic treason," declared Mr Begg.

    CHINA : GDP (9.1%) ; T B ( + $295BN); C A B ($371bn.);)+ I P (5.7%)

    These numbers highlight their mounting economic disparities. I must confess at this point that I am not sure that in the near future the abyss will ever be bridged Let us focus simply on the foreign trade sector. U S. imports are growing faster than its exports. The US capitalism is in a downward deflationary spiral that bears similarities with Japan ’s so-called ‘lost decade’ in the 1980s.. True, China ’s growth is adversely affected by the world slump, but it is growing several times faster than the US . Compound growth rates are at once constructive and destructive forces . This is a point you’ll recall that I noted in my discussion of the US balance of payments in my book on Cuba and I would suggest that you consult that section again. The ratio of its imports to its exports is about 1:5


    That gap is unbridgeable.. Hence the USCO must borrow to finance its imports. Borrowing is debt. And debt must be repaid at compound interest rates or defaulted.. China recycles its trade surplus by buying US securities and Treasury bonds. This is a familiar story. Whether the Chinese political elite will continue to recycle their foreign exchange earnings to prop up US deficits remains problematical.


    American capitalism has been the world’;/s biggest debtor for more than two decades. Its biggest lender is China . The size of the figures are important. China ’s almost $2,000 bn in foreign exchange reserves are the world’s largest. Much of these reserves are being directed to the purchase of U S Treasuries. ` According to the estimates of Brad Selser the real figure is nearer $2,300bn.. or equivalent to $1,600 for every Chinese citizen.


    Of this sum about $1,700bn is invested in dollar assets, making China the biggest creditor of American capitalism and the single largest purchaser of US Treasury bonds. It is entirely addicted and dependent on Chinese money. Never in its history has the USCO been so dependent on any foreign creditor. The opposition within the leading echelons of China’s power elite are aware that such massive capital flows going to a stricken economy, that is in the throes of an ever deepening crisis and with low-yielding dollar assets, is perilous. China has already lost billions And this is so given the depreciating dollar stemming from its rising level of indebtedness, low savings, zero interest rates and a GDP that hovers around zero . Without this avalanche of Chinese money the USCO would not be able to pursue its militarist expansion abroad.


    But what we can say is that the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency which has conferred extravagant power ( that was the designation of de Gaulle on US imperialism can obviously not endure. Chinese misgivings are present but they have made a pact with the devil and can do little to alter this state of affairs. “Except for US Treasuries what can you hold” asks Luo Ping, a director-general at the China Banking Regulatory Commission. “You don’t hold Japanese government bonds or UK bonds. US Treasuries are the safe haven. For everyone, including China , it is the only option”. This in my view is the tragedy of China ’s power elite presiding over a capitalist economy that has shed all pretences of being socialist.


    It is deliberate policy choice that reveals its class and ideological alignments. They have already paid a terrible price for such a policy choice of being the savior and supreme benefactor of American capitalism. . With capitalism’s crisis now howling in its agony and the dollar’s continued slide the costs to the Chinese workers and peasants that the Chinese elite have long ceased to represent the losses to China rise to even greater heights. To put it in non-technical jargon the masters of China ’s money box has so much money that it does not know where to invest that money save in wretchedly low yielding US Treasuries.


    The battle over exchange rates is fought on the killing fields of foreign exchange markets.

US Treasuries are the safe haven. For everyone, including China , it is the only option”. This in my view is the tragedy of China ’s power elite presiding over a capitalist economy that has shed all pretences of being socialist.


    It is deliberate policy choice that reveals its class and ideological alignments. They have already paid a terrible price for such a policy choice of being the savior and supreme benefactor of American capitalism. . With capitalism’s crisis now howling in its agony and the dollar’s continued slide the costs to the Chinese workers and peasants that the Chinese elite have long ceased to represent the losses to China rise to even greater heights. To put it in non-technical jargon the masters of China ’s money box has so much money that it does not know where to invest that money save in wretchedly low yielding US Treasuries.


    The battle over exchange rates is fought on the killing fields of foreign exchange markets.

    Hugo Chávez's greatest sin is that he has shown disrespect for the American Empire. Or as they would say in America's inner cities — He's dissed the Man. Such behavior of course cannot go unpunished lest it give other national leaders the wrong idea.

    AMY GOODMAN: What should we understand right now, Michael Parenti?

    MICHAEL PARENTI: Well, we should understand that the problem we’re facing is one which has to do with equity and fairness, that when the foundation gets consumed, the apex gets bloated, it’s going to collapse. And that’s just what’s happened. We had eight years of a president telling us that the economy was doing very well, and for his guys, it was doing very well. But in those eight years, wages remained flat or actually declined. And what we had here is so much money and nowhere to put it anymore. But that’s because there were no people below able to consume and buy the things they were supposed to buy. The assumption was that the housing market would just continue to go up and up and up, so you can do all these finaglings, but there weren’t enough people to buy these new houses. You had, in 2006, five people doing the work. By 2007, four workers were doing the work that it took five to do in 2006. That was a 20 percent increase in productivity, but there wasn’t any 20 percent or ten or five or three percent increase in income to those workers. People are just working harder and harder for less and less.



     

    AMY GOODMAN: Talk about the Democrats and Republicans. You said you’re infuriated by the Republican response, because they just want tax cuts for the rich. But what about the Democrats—I mean, just now we were playing for you Tim Geithner, the Treasury secretary—and the approach to this crisis?

    MICHAEL PARENTI: Oh, it’s insufficient. I mean, that’s what’s coming out with your questions. It’s insufficient. They’re not dealing with systemic questions. There’s all this debate about the stimulus package. Hardly a word has come out about the Federal Reserve giving away two-and-a-half trillion dollars, just giving it away unaccountably.

    AMY GOODMAN: Explain that.

    MICHAEL PARENTI: The Federal Reserve just went—while we had this $750 billion stimulus package, which was passed by Congress, the Federal Reserve printed up—it can print up money and create money—and handed out over $2 trillion to the financial community in America, with no accountability, no debate in Congress and very little notice.

    AMY GOODMAN: So, what’s the significance of that?

    China's prospects as the first major economy to recover gives it a crucial role to lead the world economy as a whole and the Central Asian region in particular. Following up on a $25 billion loan to Russia that China dished out in February, it has agreed to lend $10 billion to Kazakhstan. China expects both the recipients to reciprocate by bolstering their energy supplies to China.

    We may be witnessing the signs of a seismic shift in the geopolitics of Central Asia. The region faces a grim economic outlook and it instinctively looks up to China to help it figure a way out. That provides a big opportunity for China to take the region under its wings. The implications are deep for the Caspian energy sweepstakes.

    quote:

    It is an ethical problem, a moral problem, and the future lies on it; not only the future of the most impoverished countries --as the five countries of Latin America and the Caribbean I have mentioned—that have little else to lose other than our shackles, if there is not a change of ethics, a change of moral, a change of values that will enable us to be really sustainable.

    It is no longer a matter of ideology, it’s not a political issue; it’s a matter of survival. And this applies to all, from the G-20 to the G-5 who are the most impoverished in Latin America and the Caribbean.

    I think that this crisis that is affecting the world today and that is leading to discussions, debates, and to a search for solutions we should approach it bearing in mind that the current development model is no longer possible, no longer sustainable.

    The only way to save us all is to change the model.

    Thank you, very much.

    There is only one possible fly in this ointment, from the Israeli perspective, and it is the only one that anyone wishing to unravel this Gordian knot can exploit: American public opinion. At present, a large majority of Americans support Israel, having been fed a steady diet for decades of Israeli “victimisation” in the face of Arab “barbarism.” But that support is, as the saying goes in America, “a mile wide and an inch deep,” and AIPAC and company know this, which is why they work so hard to filter what most Americans see, hear and read about the Middle East. But it is a filter that is starting to weaken — a difference that is reflected in growing criticism of Israel and of US support for it. Disrupt this pro-Israel filter, make historical events like the Israeli assault on the USS Liberty and the IDF’s murder of a young American woman named Rachel Corrie household words in the US, bring images of ravaged Gaza into American homes, and watch the world start to change — because it can. And the technology is there to do this.

    The first weeks of the Afghanistan bombing were accompanied by heavily-advertised food drops. After Sept. 11 the United States pressured Pakistan to cut off the flow of food from aid agencies to Afghanistan, an action for which the U.S. was criticized in some quarters abroad, especially in Europe. The food drops were supposed to make up for that, but the rations represented something like 1 percent of what had been previously supplied over land. However, the nighttime pictures of transporters tossing food packets out of open cargo bays were very good for TV, which at first broadcast more of these than of the actual bombing. I was in Germany at the time, and remember how the start of the war was presented by the German state and private media as a "food and bomb offensive," in that order. An official from an aid agency, who began to criticize the U.S. food drop as shameless propaganda on live television during the first night of bombing, was cut off within seconds. It was little surprise to learn that the food planes were taking off from the Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. This confirmed that the maneuver's primary function was to soothe the European conscience. (At that point, with the 9/11 attacks still fresh in mind, starving Afghans were not of much concern to the American majority.) In the following days, it was revealed the food drops were conducted over territory held by the Northern Alliance, not the Taliban, highlighting their irrelevance. On top of that, the yellow ration packets looked very similar to yellow cluster bomblets (banned by international treaty, but so what), of which many more were being dropped from the air. Soon enough, the inevitable occurred and several children were killed picking up unexploded bomblets that they thought were unopened food. In the picture at the top of this page, McKinney is exposing the hypocrisy of the food drops while speaking to a congressional panel.

    US tactics and strategy toward the region becomes relevant, only if we take account of the recent historical, economic and political changes in Latin America and the evolving political alignments.

    The following was posted on another forum:

     

     

    Good morning Free People,

     

    My morning show is typically broadcast from The Asia Times Forum where I really like the forum editing software as that software can manipulate the data in such a way as to be well capable of transferring from forum to forum with a cut and paste routine.

     

    Asia Times Forum has been down for some time now.

     

    I am moving my morning show to here, where I’ve been taken from the front page and moved to the “irrelevant” or “Off-Topic” and “Miscellaneous” page.

     

    Beware of the “authorities” folks; they have someone’s interest in mind, at all times.

     

    On with the show:

     

    This show is offering a non-standard, non-established, non-state, non-capitalist, non-socialist, non-right, and non-left viewpoint of current events where the idea is to find and report on the most significant events and the idea goes further to quantify significance as a measure of survivability for the human species – if the “News” threats human survivability then the “News” is significant and if the “News” promotes human survivability then the “News” is significant.

     

    The news item of concern this morning is a piece written by one of the Austrian Economist Cabal members on the Austrian Economist Propaganda web site.

     

    Here is the link:

     

    http://www.lewrockwell.com/gordon/gordon63.html

     

    I will read and comment on that article for this mornings show and before reading that article I’ve set about publishing this introduction. You get it, right here, because this place is supposed to be FREE. True freedom is a responsibility, not an excuse for injuring innocent victims for profit.

     

    The title of the latest “News” item has inspired me to write and publish this extensive introduction because the title of the latest “News” item appears to hit all the bases, all the significant areas of concern, for the human species worldwide.

     

    Not Good as Gold
    [size=The case against global currency schemes, whether Chinese or American]


     

     

    Before I read the article and before I begin to quote from the article I think it is important to point out to any potential reader that I do not ascribe to any employment of fraud or force applied toward the creation or maintenance of any legal money system, be it a Gold backed system, or any commodity money system, not even a system that intends to enforce (by fraud, thread of violence, or actual violence) a competition among competing currencies.

     

    The root cause of almost all of the evils manifesting (or infesting) human existence is fraud, threats of violence, and violence designed to injure innocent people for profit – including enforcement of legal money. So why enforce legal money? The answer is simple: something as necessary to human economy as money (an accounting system media or “currency”) can be sold at an enormous profit by the single provider (monopoly) of that necessity. Money is an economic currency to the body politic as blood is a physical currency to the human body, without which life suffers and dies.

     

    Money fuels and sustains the political and economic engine, or body and a single provider of money (legal tender) can restrict the flow so as to increase demand and “make a killing” by charging higher prices for money (interest). If a competitor is allowed to compete, and add to the supply of money, the power to choke down the supply, to “govern” the supply of money, is no longer a power held by the monopoly, the monopoly ends, and the result is higher quality money at a lower cost.

     

    Know the facts.

     

    Moving on to the article, soon, I’ll quote from it and comment upon it, and notice how the title includes the word Chinese in the title. If the Chinese can offer a more valuable, better, more powerful, more accurate, less deceptive, less fraudulent, higher quality money, at a lower cost, then the dollar will lose market share, The Dollar Hegemony will end, the monopoly power will no longer be a power, and the money supply will stabilize to meet the demand for money, in an equitable fashion. What that means, in real terms, is that people who employ money to make money will get money – the supply will meet the demand. And I can offer an example to illustrate how this economic fact works when competition in money markets governs money markets (rather than a monopoly power governing money markets).

     

    The illustration is a company called Tesla Motors. That company was all set to make a sedan version of their all electric car before the money monopoly power began restricting the money supply in our recent past. Time must be understood, as timing is very powerful in the management of the money monopoly power. The time to “constrict” the flow of money has already past, it is history, and that application of that power caused the “economic collapse” of our recent past. That happened to occur when Tesla Motors was all set to begin mass producing the sedan version of their electric car and the result of that “constriction” of the money supply delayed Tesla Motors, because Tesla Motors needs money to fuel their engine of production. Once Tesla Motors is fed more money, then, Tesla Motors starts pumping out Electric Cars and by that production Tesla Motors makes the money they borrow into more money. Money turns into more money by that industry. That is an illustration of how the demand for money is met with a supply of money and money is then made into more money – by economic industry.

     

    Failure to allow the money to supply to meet the demand, or misdirecting money into waste, is like treating a human body suffering from massive blood loss with leaches or “blood-letting”, or the treatment for an anemic patient is a transfusion with oxygen deficient blood transfusion. An illustration of waste is perhaps needed here, as was the illustration of “governing” the supply of money away from productive industry in the Tesla Motors illustration.

     

    During the worst of the last waste of the money over-supply phase of money management by the monopoly power (The Dollar Hegemony) a monetary instrument was pushed through the system whereby “Liar Loans” were forced into circulation. I have testimony of this fact. Loan agents were threatened with their jobs if they did not process these “Liar Loans”, as many as they could. A “Liar Loan” is a transfer of money from a “legal tender” officer to a borrower based upon an 18 hour bra qualification i.e. No Visible Means of Support. It must be understood by anyone who wishes to know the facts, that the money monopoly governors will and often will cause too much money to enter the body and then those same governors cause not enough money to enter the economic body politic. The idea there is to create a business cycle on a seemingly random schedule so as to profit by selling at the known peak of price fluctuation and then buy at the known bottom of price fluctuation. It is truly simple, and it is pure evil genius.

     

    You may think I am on crack, while I see the facts, you can ignore the facts, and that doesn’t make you ignorant, it makes you stupid – you have the opportunity to see the facts and move on from an informed position – a more powerful position.

     

    The Chinese are gaining power now. Your wealth is siphoned off as taxes to pay debt and that wealth is sent to China to pay interest on debt for POWER borrowed from the Chinese so as to destroy the flow of oil from Iraq to Europe. I know this sound ridiculous, but it only sounds ridiculous from a perspective of ignorance. It is very simple.

     

    It is a power struggle and more power is not in the best interest of The Money Monopoly. Please see this fact. Too much power, more power than The Money Monopoly can ever consume, will “trickle down” to everyone, where everyone becomes more powerful, and The Money Monopoly no longer has power over their victims. Do you fail to see this fact?

     

    I can offer another illustration.

     

    If Tesla Motors, or you and I, can produce more power if only we could get high quality money at a low cost (the money buys what we need and we are not charged too much interest), then the only thing missing to get more power produced is better money. The missing element that is in the way of creating more and more power is The Dollar Hegemony as that monopoly power employs its power in the process of eliminating the competition. The illustration for this can by you calling up a Solar Panel company and having them reduce your electric bill before the end of the month. Now you have more power. Next thing you do is buy an electric car and pay 2 cents per mile instead of 10 cents per mile to get around and do the thing you must do to make more power (make more money). Now you are even more powerful. Next thing you do is (if you can) refinance your home and business mortgage so as to reduce the cost of interest that you now send to The Money Monopoly. Now you have even more power because you send less power to The Money Monopoly (less interest on your mortgages), less power is sent to the electric company (you make that power at home), and less power is sent to the Oil companies, you use the power you make at home to fuel your car. Now times your power struggle by 100 million Americans (and count up the surge in industry as more jobs are created in making Solar Panels, Electric Cars, and all the installation and maintenance jobs that go with that War on Power or War on Falsehood campaign).

     

    How is that for an illustration?

     

    Going back to the link that I have yet to read, where the “Chinese” appears in the title, think now before making rash conclusions. Right now the idea is to think about the possibility of having a choice between using money supplied by The Dollar Hegemony and instead of choosing that option you have an option to use money supplied by a competitor in money markets. The competition may or may not be Chinese money. The idea, before reading the link, is to entertain the possibility of employing better money – of having a choice to reject The Dollar Hegemony issue of blood and oil soaked (laundered) money.

     

    That is the end of my introduction and the next thing that will go here is a quote from the article (after I cut and paste this to the forum to see if it fits under the word count maximum).

     

     

     

    Part III

     

    ++

    But it is not as though everything is right so long as people think that others will not reject dollars. Money, like all other goods, has a price, determined by supply and demand. An increase in the quantity of paper money reduces its value. If people think that the government is going to inflate the money supply, they value units of money less than before, and prices soar.

    ++

     

    I stopped reading at this point to respond to the words written and challenge those words. Let the reader know that I will e-mail the writer and link this forum web page, as has been my practice, to see if the challenge to the words written is met by the writer of the words written.

     

    The paper money offered by The Dollar Hegemony is backed and so the reason for not reporting the truth is a mystery to me. The author of the words that do not report the truth concerning the backing of The Dollar could explain his reasons for failing to report the truth. I can’t. I can speculate that the writer has an opinion about his readership, that his readership is too stupid to know any better, or some other reason. The fact is that the Dollar is backed by Oil and Military force. That is an indisputable fact, or someone can dispute that fact – be my guest. I won’t hold my breath.

     

    The Dollar may also be backed by taxpayer money, where taxpayers pay Dollars to The Dollar Hegemony, but that supposition is not well supported by available evidence, or reason, or logic. If The Dollar Hegemony could back The Dollar with tax money, why would they bother, all they have to do is add zeros to their ledger and they have more money. What would be the point? Why do “they” have to borrow from the Chinese?

     

    Here it is important to understand the link between Oil and The Dollar. It is not in the best interest of The Dollar Hegemony to allow Oil to flow from Iraq to China, or Russia, or Europe. If that were to happen the money produced by China, and Russia, and Europe would have Oil backing their currencies – making their currencies more powerful than The Dollar. That is why The Dollar Hegemony (Oil backed legal tender) cannot allow Iraq to supply Oil to China, Russia, or Europe. That is why Hugo Chavez is such a thorn in the side of The Dollar Hegemony, because Hugo allows Oil to flow to China, Russia, and Europe (and the U.S.A.). That fact is also the fact that shows why Iran is such a thorn in the side of The Dollar Hegemony. More power flows to the competition by those current realities, as Oil flows from competitors to competitors and as power makes the competition as powerful as The Dollar Hegemony.

     

    Once the competition is as powerful as The Dollar Hegemony the price of Oil and the price (interest rate) of money will be forced down to cost – the cost of extracting, refining, and shipping Oil, and the cost of printing, accounting, and transferring money.

     

    The really big monkey wrench that threatens The Dollar Hegemony isn’t even Hugo Chavez, Iran, or China. The really big threat to The Dollar Hegemony is the growing power of knowledge commanded by the victims of The Dollar Hegemony, and the sun.

     

    When the sun soon becomes the lender of last resort, as people borrow from the sun to fuel their cars, and borrow from the sun to heat their homes, and borrow from the sun to cook their food, and borrow from the sun to power their industry, then too much power will be in the hands of everyone to allow a money monopoly to exist on the planet earth.

     

    That day is coming soon, to a theater near you – and the smart ones in The Dollar Hegemony know it. “They” are growing more desperate by the day. Soon “they” will offer up “scapegoats” for “our” entertainment, mark my words. I may be wrong, I am often wrong, but not on political economy – I understand how that works.

     

     

     

     

    Part IV

     

    +

    Here Chinese complaints about the dollar as a reserve currency enter the scene. If I wanted to buy coffee at a Chinese Starbucks, I could not pay in dollars. I would first have to exchange my dollars for Chinese RMB. This presents no problem for a simple transaction, but matters are different for large-scale world markets in commodities like oil. Here it is obviously convenient for a country to have on hand not only its own money but other currencies as well.

    +

     

    “A country” has no hands. It may seem like a trivial criticism to you, but to me the error is extremely significant. The error here is to support the false notion of a false idol, a false god, a separate being, “a country”, a responsible entity, a limited liability corporation, a being that is capable of thought, a being that is capable of action, a being that can be held accountable (while the real human beings who are responsible are not held accountable). Notice how the author of the piece linked does, in fact, mention the Oil factor (a powerful factor in this effort to understand current realities). I am looking for something specific in this article. I am looking for a specific report on competition in money markets, where competition is the force behind improvement, and the force that causes higher quality in money, and the force that causes the price of money to reduce down to the cost of money. If this report, this article from the “Austrian Cabal” does misses that fact, that factor, then my suggestion to the reader is to ask “why”? Why is that important factor missing from this report?

     

    I can answer that question with more than one possible answer, but for now I will continue to read the report on current world realities of sustainable human existence and I will comment as I read it, for this chapter of my morning show, as I offer the world a more accurate perspective through the channels of communication that are available to me.

     

    +

    A country will wish to hold money that other countries accept. Normally countries converge on one, or at most a few, monies as their main holding. If most countries want to hold large amounts of the same country’s money, that becomes the world’s dominant reserve currency.

    +

     

    Above is a hint on the link between Oil and The Dollar Hegemony. China (the Chinese people through their governing agents and that form of POWER) were forced to buy Dollars so as to buy Oil to run their growing industrial economy. An Oil Cartel (Oil Monopoly or Cabal) formed many years ago began demanding Dollars for Oil or the potential customer wanting Oil could not get Oil from the Oil Cabal. No Dollars, No Oil, and if you want to know why Saddam Hussein went from the Golden Boy (shaking hands with Rumsfeld) to the new “Hitler” when, in fact (you can check the facts and prove me wrong; please),  when Saddam began selling Oil for the competitions money (not dollars).

     

     Iraq didn’t begin to sell Oil to China for Chinese money, Saddam did, but that didn’t stop The Dollar Hegemony (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.) from punishing both Saddam and the rest of the people in Iraq (except for their paid employees “the insurgents” don’t you know).

     

     

     

     

    Part V

     

    http://amconmag.com/article/2009/may/18/00022/

     

    +

    The Chinese claim that because of reckless American financial policy, the world has lost confidence in the dollar. It would thus be better to shift to a world money, which all countries would accept. Are they right? Should we accede to the Chinese suggestions? Or should we try to hang on to our position?

    +

     

    At that point in reading that article I am on the edge of my seat, with my mind forced open, ready to process the data offered in answer to the questions posed. Please, I am thinking, be accurate and honest in answering the question asked.

     

    +

    What should we do? One answer would be to weigh the advantages of remaining the world’s reserve currency against the dangers. Are the benefits of being able to inflate more than other countries and running up huge balance of payment deficits worth the chance that foreign pressures might ruin our monetary system?

    +

     

    My bubble burst, the hack is an apologist for The Dollar Hegemony, he speaks as if “we” are in this power struggle, as if “we” command it in some way, as if “we” have a choice in the matter. He may have a choice in the matter, I don’t. The power to command the money monopoly (The reserve currency) is backed by the power to control the flow of Oil and the flow of Military forces. To suggest otherwise is pure fantasy. That guy is on crack, I’m severely disappointed in this latest “News” item offered by the “Austrian Cabal”.

    Hi,

     

    I read much of this:

     

    http://amconmag.com/article/2009/may/18/00022/

     

    And I am responding to that here:

     

    http://forum.freestateproject.org/index.php?topic=11095.msg213674#msg213674

     

    I will respond on other forums too (cut and paste).

     

    This letter intends to challenge the reader (or the editor) to allow my responses to be published in some manner or other, and to open the possible future event of dialog between the author and the challenger – me.

    And it's not only oil and gas. Reko Diq (literally "sandy peak") is a small town in the deserted Chaghi district, 70 kilometers northwest of already remote Nok Kundi, near the Iran and Afghanistan borders. Reko Diq is the home of the world's largest gold and copper reserves, reportedly worth more than US$65 billion. According to the Pakistani daily Dawn, these reserves are believed to be even bigger than similar ones in Iran and Chile.

    What if tens of millions of American workers simply followed Gandhi’s teaching and crossed their arms and said no more taxes, jail me instead? Imagine if state governors stood up and said all the Federal Law enforcement elements within their borders had 24 hours to resign or leave the state?

    This covert action program, reported by Seymour Hersh last year, was started by the Bush administration and funded to the tune of $400 million. The U.S. is, in effect, conducting a secret war against Tehran, a covert campaign aimed at recruiting Iran's ethnic and religious minorities – who make up the majority of the population in certain regions, such as in the southeast borderlands near Pakistan – into a movement to topple the government in Tehran, or, at least, to create so much instability that U.S. intervention to "keep order" in the region is justified. Given recent events in Iran – a suicide bombing in the southeast province of Sistan-Baluchistan and at least two other incidents – the effort is apparently ongoing.

    Pepe Escobar: Commentary on Obama's speech to the Muslim World

     

    http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ishdHLR8BUX-xm3_3YKRvckBmLMgD98IKO8G0

    Visiting a Palestinian refugee camp in the shadows of the towering concrete structure, the British rocker who co-wrote the iconic 1970s album "The Wall" said he hopes "this awful thing is destroyed soon."

    Waters, 65, said the West Bank wall has been on his mind since he first saw it up close in what he described as an eye-opening visit in 2006, following a concert in Israel.

    "People who haven't actually seen this, what's going on here, can't actually imagine the impression that it has on you, the sick, kind of churning feeling that you get in your very heart when you see this, how depressing it is," Waters told The Associated Press in an interview.

    Water's comments didn't sit very well with Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev, who, quoting The Wall's most famous lyric, said "we don't need no education" from Waters.

    Like clinical paranoia, "the threat from Iran" is impervious to correction by rational argument.

     

     

    The sponsor of the New York debate was the conservative Rosenkranz Foundation, but if a liberal (as opposed to a progressive or radical leftist) organization had been the sponsor, while there probably would have been a bit more of an ideological gap between the chosen pairs of speakers, it's unlikely that any of the present-day myths concerning Iran would have been seriously challenged by either side. These myths include the following, all of which I've dealt with before in this report but inasmuch as they are repeated on a regular basis in the media and by administration representatives, I think that readers need to be reminded of the counter arguments.
    • Iran has no right to nuclear weapons: Yet, there is no international law that says that the US, the UK, Russia, China, Israel, France, Pakistan, and India are entitled to nuclear weapons, but Iran is not. Iran has every reason to feel threatened. In any event, the US intelligence community's National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) of December 2007, "Iran: Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities", makes a point of saying in bold type and italics: “This NIE does not assume that Iran intends to acquire nuclear weapons.” The report goes on to state: "We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program ."
    • Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust denier: I have yet to read of Ahmadinejad saying simply, clearly, unambiguously, and unequivocally that he thinks that what we know as the Holocaust never happened. He has instead commented about the peculiarity and injustice of a Holocaust which took place in Europe resulting in a state for the Jews in the Middle East instead of in Europe. Why are the Palestinians paying a price for a German crime? he asks. And he has questioned the figure of six million Jews killed by Nazi Germany, as have many other people of all political stripes.
    • Ahmadinejad has called for violence against Israel: His 2005 remark re "wiping Israel off the map", besides being a very questionable translation, has been seriously misinterpreted, as evidenced by the fact that the following year he declared: “The Zionist regime will be wiped out soon, the same way the Soviet Union was, and humanity will achieve freedom.”3 Obviously, he was not calling for any kind of violent attack upon Israel, for the dissolution of the Soviet Union took place peacefully.
    • Iran has no right to provide arms to Hamas and Hezbollah: However, the United States, we are assured, has every right to do the same for Israel and Egypt.
    • The fact that Obama says he's willing to "talk" to some of the "enemies" like Iran more than the Bush administration did sounds good: But one doesn't have to be too cynical to believe that it will not amount to more than a public relations gimmick. It's only change of policy that counts. Why doesn't Obama just state that he would not attack Iran unless Iran first attacked the US or Israel or anyone else? Besides, the Bush administration met with Iran on several occasions.

    Robert Fisk, a journalist with the UK's Independent newspaper, told Al Jazeera that Ahmadinejad was repeating the point that the high turnout proved that he was in the majority.

    "But many of the people that did vote believe that the vote was switched," he said.

    "So it was not the turnout that proved that Ahmadinejad is a popular president. It is what the figures actually were. And that of course is what is still being disputed.

    Think about the Iranian election from a common sense standpoint. Neither myself nor the vast majority of readers are Iranian experts. But from a common sense standpoint, if your country was under constant threat of attack, even nuclear attack, from two countries with much more powerful military establishments, as is Iran from the US and Israel, would you desert your country’s best defender and elect the preferred candidate of the US and Israel?

     

    When, exactly, did common sense become so...un-common?

    The team he's now assembling in Washington to lead his operations in Afghanistan (and someday maybe Pakistan) tells you what you really need to know. It's filled with special operations types. The expertise of his chosen key lieutenants is, above all, in special ops work. At the same time, reports Rowan Scarborough at Fox News, an extra 1,000 special operations troops are now being "quietly" dispatched to Afghanistan, bringing the total number there to about 5,000. Keep in mind that it's been the special operations forces, with their kick-down-the-door night raids and air strikes, who have been involved in the most notorious incidents of civilian slaughter, which continue to enrage Afghans.

    The following currency is accurate according to my experience dealing with the source. The supplier of the accurate currency wrote a book titled BLACKWATER.

    http://rebelreports.com/post/132342133/a-few-thoughts-on-the-coup-in-honduras

    That above is, if I have the idea right, an expense of inaccurate currency (consume involuntary tax revenue) to gain political power over a competitor who dares to defy the oil and dollar cartel known as The Dollar Hegemony.

    I have yet to read the link, it is a major news story that could be told accurately or falsely. Tell me, who do you trust?

     I recently visited Central America. Everyone I talked with there was convinced that the military coup that had overthrown the democratically-elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, had been engineered by two US companies, with CIA support. And that the US and its new president were not standing up for democracy.

    The Fed is abandoning the printing presses (presumably) because China told Geithner to stop printing money or they'd sell their US Treasuries. It's a wake-up call to Bernanke that the power is shifting from Washington to Beijing.

    CARACAS - PRESIDENT Hugo Chavez on Sunday bridled at US plans to use military bases in Colombia, asserting that Venezuela was the top US target in the region and that Venezuelans should prepare for war.

    Speaking in his weekly live radio and television broadcast, Chavez also chided US President Barack Obama for accusing leftist Latin leaders of 'hypocrisy' for demanding that Washington intervene more forcefully to reinstate Honduras' ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

    Mr Obama 'is lost in the clouds. I think he is entering a terrible labyrinth', Mr Chavez said. 'Obama doesn't understand. He needs to study a bit more. He is a young man, full of good intentions.'

    'Obama, we are not asking you to intervene in Honduras. To the contrary, we are asking that the empire remove its hand from Honduras and that the empire remove its claws from Latin America,' he said.

    United States President Barack Obama - now running three wars (Iraq and the AfPak combo) - demanded that Iran (which is not at war with anybody) demonstrate "its peaceful intentions or be held accountable to international standards and international law".

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu announced to the UN, "the greatest threat facing the world today is the marriage between religious fundamentalism and the weapons of mass destruction". Impervious to irony, Netanyahu obviously forgot that Iran - like Iraq in 2003 - has no weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Israel not only has WMDs, but still refuses to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) or allow its weapons to be inspected, as Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan rushed to clarify. As for religious fundamentalism, Zionism is more than a match to Iran's Shi'itism.

    As if this was not hysteria enough, leaks in Britain revealed that the head of M-I6 Sir John Scarlett and the head of Mossad Meir Dagan may have established that Saudi Arabia is ready to allow Israel to bomb Iran. The House of Saud remained mute. But not the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) - which de facto controls Iran's missile program. They successfully tested long-range Shahab-3 and Sajjil solid-fuel missiles with a maximum range of 2,000 kilometers. Ergo, even more hysteria.

    General Hoseyn Salami, commander of IRGC's air force, told the IRINN TV network that Iran had a firm "no first strike" policy in terms of a missile war with Israel, and defended the tests as linked to the approaching anniversary of the 1980 Iraqi attack on Iran - the beginning of a horrible eight-year war that killed at least 250,000 Iranians. (The US, by the way, supported in that war a character who later personified the "new Hitler", Saddam Hussein.)

    Now compare all this to the Western reaction to what's happening this Thursday in Beijing on China's National Day parade for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China; an array of two types of surface-to-surface conventional missiles, a new land-based cruise missile, surface-to-surface intermediate and long-range missiles that could carry nuclear warheads, and nuclear intercontinental missiles will all be shown off in an asphalt catwalk. Not a peep from the West. It's as if this was part of Beijing Fashion Week.

    One barrel of oil contains a measurable amount of power and therefore a measurable amount of purchasing power and as such oil has become a global accurate currency.

    When the dollar is no longer chosen as the currency used in oil trading the purchasing power of the dollar will no longer have that measurable amount of power that is provided by oil power.

    What happens next?

     
    Iran announced late last month that its foreign currency reserves would henceforth be held in euros rather than dollars. Bankers remember, of course, what happened to the last Middle East oil producer to sell its oil in euros rather than dollars. A few months after Saddam Hussein trumpeted his decision, the Americans and British invaded Iraq.

    In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.

    Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars.

    To the degree that the 21cs pursue nationalist politics (and we should note that nationalization means expropriatism and public ownership) they are a pale reflection of the measures taken between the 1930’s – mid 1970’s


     


    One of the key factors reversing past leftist waves in Latin America was the economic power and interventionary capacity of the US.


    There is strong evidence that US power has suffered a relative decline on both counts. The US is no longer a creditor country; it is no longer the leading trading partner with Brazil, Chile, Peru and Argentina and is losing ground in the rest of Latin America, except for Mexico.

    Britain's Independent newspaper reported last Tuesday that Russian officials had held "secret meetings" with Arab states, China and France on ending the use of the U.S. dollar in international oil trade.

    The countries are reportedly seeking to switch from the dollar to a basket of currencies including the euro, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, gold, and a new unified currency of leading Arab oil producing countries.

    The Independent said the meetings have been confirmed by Chinese and Arab banking sources.

    A previously undiscovered asteroid came within 14,000 km of Earth last week, and astronomers noticed it only 15 hours before closest approach. On Nov. 6 at around 16:30 EST a 7 meter asteroid, now called 2009 VA, came only about 2 Earth radii from impacting our home planet
    . This is the third-closest known non-impacting Earth approach on record for a cataloged asteroid.

     

     

    Only thirteen months ago, another asteroid, 2008 TC3 was discovered under similar circumstances, but that one was found to be on a trajectory headed for the Earth, with impact only about 11 hours away. It impacted in a remote area of Africa; no one was injured and fragments have since been recovered for study.

    Is that another case of "destroy the competition"?

    Here is a company that is "forging ahead on thier own":

    http://www.teslamotors.com/

    Jay Leno has an electric car:

    This just in:

    Tesla would mark the first public offering from a U.S. automaker since Henry Ford's Ford Motor Co debuted its shares in 1956. The IPO represents a landmark in the resurgence of electric car technology that most carmakers had dismissed as impractical until recently.

     

    The company's chairman Elon Musk said early last year that an IPO was a possibility in either late 2008 or 2009.

     

    But the financial market turmoil following the collapse of Lehman Bros. in the latter half of 2008 virtually shut down the IPO market. The appetite for IPOs has picked up since mid-September this year with a robust pace of new filings.

     

    Tesla's IPO would follow the successful debut of lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems, whose shares rallied 50 percent on their first day of trading on Sept 25.

     

    Analysts have said that the success of A123, the first green technology IPO this year, would encourage more venture capital-backed green companies to go public.

     

    Tesla will compete with established automakers like Ford, General Motors and Nissan Motor Co, all of which are racing to launch electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. Tesla, by contrast, is a small player with a high-end market and limited production.

    Introduction


    In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, I have analyzed US and NATO geopolitical strategy since the fall of the Soviet Union, in expanding the American empire and preventing the rise of new powers, containing Russia and China. This Part examines the implications of this strategy in recent years; following the emergence of a New Cold War, as well as analyzing the war in Georgia, the attempts and methods of regime change in Iran, the coup in Honduras, the expansion of the Afghan-Pakistan war theatre, and spread of conflict in Central Africa. These processes of a New Cold War and major regional wars and conflicts take the world closer to a New World War. Peace can only be possible if the tools and engines of empires are dismantled.

    German Economy on Brink of Radical Restructuring
    The German economy coped astonishingly well with the global crisis in 2009. But in 2010 it will need to lay the foundations for a radical restructuring if it wants to cope with chronic overcapacity in its aging industries and fend off powerful new competitors from China and India. Does the country need a new business model? SPIEGEL provides an outlook for 2010.

    A year after Israel's war on Gaza, the territory is still struggling to rebuild.

    In the weeks after the offensive, politicians from around the world visited the Strip and made promises to help.

    But it appears many of those pledges have not been delivered.

    Al Jazeera's Todd Baer caught up with two US Democratic congressmen whose efforts to lift the Israeli blockade on Gaza are being met with stiff resistance.

    In the last post an interviewer asked a question where the interviewer used a label (left) and asked the person being interviewed (Chomsky) a question concerning that label (the left).

    Chomsky saw through the thinly veiled attempt to discredit the left and thereby make the right more appealing - better.

    See how that works?

    Suppose Chomsky didn't sweep the political hack job under the rug and instead of answering the question by qualifying the answer with a specific rejection of the label, what would have happened if Chomsky illuminated the attempted political game?


    Interviewer:

    "So is it a failure of the left then in the United States that war is not avoided?"

    Interviewed:

    "That depends upon what you mean by the left. If your version of the left and my version of the left are two different things, then what is the purpose of confusing the two?

    Interviewer:

    "What do you mean?"

    Interviewed:

    "If the left you have in view is a group of organized criminals who use law as a cloak so as to perpetuate their crimes, the label you use actually hides their crimes behind some nebulous legitimacy..."

    Interviewer (cutting in):

    I don't mean that...

    Interviewed (cutting in):

    "Really; then tell me exactly what you mean, give me some names, places, actions, motivations, etc., and not simply the speeches that claim to communicate motive; offer me the true reasons behind the actions."

    Interviewer:

    "That is going a little to far into specific details, I just meant the group of people who are democrats, not republicans - that left."

    Interviewed:

    "That is my point, then, so I'll go on with my point, if you don't mind. Is this a sound bite?"

    Interviewer:

    "No, no, go ahead with your point - please."

    Interviewed:

    "Thanks. The point is to point out how evil and only evil is served by this confusion of labels. If you ask a question about the left and that left is some ambiguous phantom, in your own mind, while I can clearly measure it as legal criminals who commit legal crimes upon their helpless, ignorant, and power-less innocent victims, and if your "left" (legal criminals) is confused with the left I intend to communicate, where my version of left is nothing more or less than people who don't plan on and then execute crimes upon innocent people, if now the two opposites are confused as being one and the same thing, both are "The Left" (when in reality there are two separate and opposing groups), what happens?"

    Interviewer:

    "What do you mean by 'what happens?'?"

    Interviewed:

    "You don't even know, and that is part of my point. What happens is that the good group (the left that doesn't plan on and then follow through with the plan to willfully and pre-meditatively injure innocent victims) is in a lose/lose situation. Do you see this now?"

    Interviewer:

    "Please just go on."

    Interviewed:

    "I can see your reluctance to take responsibility, to won this, this parroting of the political falsehoods that so well serve the legal criminals. Be that as it may, I can go on."

    Interviewer:

    "Lose/lose situation..."

    Interviewed:

    "Exactly; in a measurable way: the good people are now suspected of failure, of wrong doing, of being like the left that you have falsely associated with these good people. That is a negative for the good people, they lose power, they lose confidence, they lose momentum, they suffer libel, bad press, negative reinforcement occurs. The good people are grouped in the same group as the bad people and the mud sticks to them."

    Interviewer:

    "That may be true..."

    Interviewed:

    "But that is half the story, one side, and this has at least four sides, as such:

    1a. Good people lose by gaining negative exposure by false association with bad people

    1b. Good people lose by failing to promote positive exposure; in direct proportion to the opportunity having been stolen by false exposure.

    2a. Bad people win by diluting their evil, having a false association with good people makes bad people look better, the good thoughts and good deeds of the good people are falsely attributed to the bad people.

    2b. Bad people win by deflecting and avoiding the negative exposure by clogging up the air time, the bandwidth, with falsehood, confusion, misdirection, behavioral modification, response conditioning.


    Interviewer:

    "Isn't that somewhat convoluted?"

    Interviewed:

    "That is the point, yes, and who does it serve, and therefore who is most likely behind the process - if not the beneficiaries?"

    Interviewer:

    "Are you suggesting that I have something to gain by asking you a question concerning the left, and their failure to avoid wars?"

    Interviewed:

    "Did someone make you do it? Are you acting against your will, or your knowledge?"

    Interviewer:

    "I just wanted an answer to the question asked."

    Interviewed:

    "And you don't like the answer, it is too convoluted, where the confusion between a criminal left and a non-criminal left just so happens, perhaps "coincidentally", to benefit the criminals and injures, and removes power from, the innocent victims. Is that all just a coincidence to you, as you take your part in it?"

    Interviewer:

    "I just asked a question."

    Interviewed:

    "What exactly to you mean when you define this thing that you call the "left"? If...

    Interviewer:

    "Everyone knows..."

    Interviewed:

    "Please let me finish, although your interruption speaks for itself."

    Interviewer:

    "Go on."

    Interviewed:

    "If your answer doesn't accurately discriminate the precise difference between people who organize and pool, or collect, their power in the willful process of injuring innocent people and those who do no such thing, then your answer, your "left", doesn't accomplish something that is specifically important in the process of avoiding crime, or war when war is a crime, so who, who exactly, is responsible for not avoiding criminal wars - wars for profit - and what exactly is the extent of their failure, in a measurable way?"

    On December 27, 2008, Israel began one of the bloodiest attacks on Gaza Since 1948. The three week assault killed some 1400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis. One year later, little to no rebuilding has taken place and the siege in Gaza continues.

    Speaking in Watertown, Massachusetts on December 6, 2009, linguist and social critic Noam Chomsky delivered a talk entitled “Gaza: One Year Later.”

    We are witnessing a new pattern of energy cooperation at the regional level that dispenses with Big Oil. Russia traditionally takes the lead. China and Iran follow the example. Russia, Iran and Turkmenistan hold respectively the world’s largest, second-largest and fourth-largest gas reserves. And China will be consumer par excellence in this century. The matter is of profound consequence to the US global strategy.

    How about a fun history lesson?

    Chomsky: There is much talk of Chinese money and it is speculated much from this fact about a power shift in the world. China could overtake the U.S.? I consider that question an expression of ideological extremism. The States are not the only actors on the world stage. To a certain extent they are important, but not absolutely. The actors, who dominate their respective States, are primarily economic: the banks and corporations. If we examine who controls the world and determines policy, we will refrain from stating a shift of world power and global workforce. China is the extreme example. These interactions occur between transnational corporations, financial institutions and the State insofar as it serves their interests. This is the only power shift, but it provides no headline.

    As Clinton was dismissing the efforts of Brazil and Turkey, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said his country “expressed its welcome and appreciation for the diplomatic efforts of all parties.” A Foreign Ministry spokesman added that the agreement to send 58 percent of Iran’s nuclear fuel to Turkey for enrichment “will benefit the process of peacefully resolving the Iran nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiations.”

    Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called for “urgent consultations with all interested parties, including Iran, to decide what to do next,” hardly a call to arms. His First Deputy Prime Minister, Sergi Ivanov, said that while his country was “supportive” of the U.S., it was drawing a “red line” at sanctions that were “suffocating” or would affect ordinary Iranians.

    In other words, exactly what the U.S. Government wanted to happen in order to destroy WikiLeaks has happened here:  news reports that a key WikiLeaks source has been identified and arrested, followed by announcements from anonymous government officials that there is now a worldwide "manhunt" for its Editor-in-Chief.  Even though WikiLeaks did absolutely nothing (either in this case or ever) to compromise the identity of its source, isn't it easy to see how these screeching media reports -- WikiLeaks source arrested; worldwide manhunt for WikiLeaks; major national security threat -- would cause a prospective leaker to WikiLeaks to think twice, at least:  exactly as the Pentagon Report sought to achieve?  And that Pentagon Report was from 2008, before the Apache Video was released; imagine how intensified is the Pentagon's desire to destroy WikiLeaks now.  Combine that with what both the NYT and Newsweek recently realized is the Obama administration's unprecedented war on whistle-blowers, and one can't overstate the caution that's merited here before assuming one knows what happened.


     


    What makes WikiLeaks particularly threatening to the most powerful factions is that they cannot control it.  Even when whistle-blowers in the past have leaked serious corruption and criminal conduct to perfectly good journalists at the nation's largest corporate media outlets, government officials could control how the information was disclosed.

    The Obama administration was once again incensed when Turkey joined with Brazil in arranging a deal with Iran to restrict its enrichment of uranium. Obama had praised the initiative in a letter to Brazil’s president Lula da Silva, apparently on the assumption that it would fail and provide a propaganda weapon against Iran. When it succeeded, the US was furious, and quickly undermined it by ramming through a Security Council resolution with new sanctions against Iran that were so meaningless that China cheerfully joined at once – recognizing that at most the sanctions would impede Western interests in competing with China for Iran’s resources. Once again, Washington acted forthrightly to ensure that others would not interfere with US control of the region.


     

    Another threat to the dominant world power is:

    I do not harbor the slightest doubt that as soon as the warships of the United States and Israel take up their positions – together with the rest of the U.S. military vessels located in the vicinity of the Iranian coasts – and attempt to inspect that country’s first merchant ship, a rain of missiles will be unleashed in both directions. That will be the precise moment when that terrible war will begin. It is not possible to foresee how many ships will be sunk nor of what ensign.

    Finding out the truth in time is the most important thing for our people.

    They seized for themselves a monopoly of the land ownership and appointed a priesthood from among their own ranks. The priests, in control of education, made the class division of society into a permanent institution and created a system of values by which the people were thenceforth, to a large extent unconsciously, guided in their social behavior.
     

     

     
    It is "society" which provides man with food, clothing, a home, the tools of work, language, the forms of thought, and most of the content of thought; his life is made possible through the labor and the accomplishments of the many millions past and present who are all hidden behind the small word “society.”
     

     

    Man acquires at birth, through heredity, a biological constitution which we must consider fixed and unalterable, including the natural urges which are characteristic of the human species. In addition, during his lifetime, he acquires a cultural constitution which he adopts from society through communication and through many other types of influences. It is this cultural constitution which, with the passage of time, is subject to change and which determines to a very large extent the relationship between the individual and society. Modern anthropology has taught us, through comparative investigation of so-called primitive cultures, that the social behavior of human beings may differ greatly, depending upon prevailing cultural patterns and the types of organization which predominate in society. It is on this that those who are striving to improve the lot of man may ground their hopes: human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.

     
    Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember that a planned economy is not yet socialism. A planned economy as such may be accompanied by the complete enslavement of the individual. The achievement of socialism requires the solution of some extremely difficult socio-political problems: how is it possible, in view of the far-reaching centralization of political and economic power, to prevent bureaucracy from becoming all-powerful and overweening? How can the rights of the individual be protected and therewith a democratic counterweight to the power of bureaucracy be assured?

    North Korea will “legitimately counter with their powerful nuclear deterrence the largest-ever nuclear war exercises to be staged by the U.S. and the South Korean puppet forces,” the National Defense Commission said, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

    Should you clarify the objectives of American policy it might also be helpful if you could indicate how your policies are in harmony with the letter and spirit of the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for your "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," which you humbly accepted. Such a reflection would stave off the question as to when and on which of America’s 12 nuclear-powered super-carriers you expect to declare “Mission Accomplished.”

    That the northeastern region of the young United States was richly endowed with waterpower and coal deposits was critical to the country’s early industrialization as well as to the North’s eventual victory in the Civil War.  It was the discovery of oil in western Pennsylvania in 1859, however, that would turn the U.S. into the decisive actor on the global stage.  Oil extraction and exports fueled American prosperity in the early twentieth century -- a time when the country was the planet’s leading producer -- while nurturing the rise of its giant corporations.

     

     

    China’s growing emphasis on renewable energy would be good news, if it resulted in substantial reductions in coal use.  At the same time, the country’s drive to excel at these techniques could push it into the forefront of a technological revolution, just as early American dominance of petroleum technology propelled it to the front ranks of world powers in the twentieth century.  If the United States fails to keep pace, it could find the pace of its decline as a world power quickening.

     

     

    At present, China obtains most of its imported oil from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Angola, Oman, Sudan, Kuwait, Russia, Kazakhstan, Libya, and Venezuela.  Eager to ensure the reliability of the oil flow from these countries, Beijing has established close ties with their leaders, in some cases providing them with significant economic and military assistance.  This is exactly the path once taken by Washington -- and with some of the same countries.

     

     

     If these predictions prove accurate, the United States and China -- the world’s two leading oil importers -- could become trapped in a zero-sum great-power contest for access to diminishing supplies of exportable petroleum.

     

     

    It is not hard, then, to picture a future moment when the United States and China are locked in a global struggle over the world’s remaining supplies of oil.  Indeed, many in official Washington believe that such a collision is nearly inevitable. 

     

     

    Conflict over planetary oil reserves is not, however, the only path that China’s new energy status could open.  It is possible to imagine a future in which China and the United States cooperate in pursuing oil alternatives that would obviate the need to funnel massive sums into naval and military arms races.

    It does start with Iran of course. It turns out that if Iran is not bombed back to the stone age, the country will continue to do what is has been doing for the past decade, which is to expand its sphere of influence in the Middle East. There are basically two sectarian power structures in the Middle East, insofar as we can tell. One is Shia Persia (Iran) and the other Sunni authoritarianism. Saudi Arabia might be considered the epicenter of the latter, just as Iran is the cynosure of the former.

     

     

    The Western mainstream press does not often delve into the Sunni/Shia split because such details would tend to undermine the larger dominant social theme which is that "Islam is the enemy." A monolithic Islam is a benefit to the West's power elite, which seeks to consolidate wealth and authority in Europe, Britain and America by cultivating an outside threat. As communism does not currently provide the requisite threat, the Muslim threat is being cultivated, in our view.

     

     

    In an era when the truth-telling of the Internet is continually destabilizing the elite's fear-based promotional propaganda, the erection of a believable and even formidable enemy is of great importance from the Western elite's point of view. It provides a rationale for increased authoritarianism, justifies the West's increased use of spy-technologies (which are mostly domestically aimed) and provides a rationale for continued military-industrial spending.

     

     

    War is at root a change-making process and the Anglo-American axis will never divulge its real rationale in our view. It has to be divined. One does begin with the idea that the Anglo-American axis seeks Western world government – and then proceeds from there. Perhaps the Persian-Shia resurgence may be seen as conducive to this strategy, as it is easier to deal with a regionalized influence than a balkanized one.

    The essence of politics is buying votes with the taxpayers' money, but without losing more votes than you buy. That is to say, there must be deception. Each beneficiary must conclude: "I am going to get more out of this than I am likely to pay into the system." They all cannot be correct about this. So, the tax burden is concealed.

    There are two other factors of concealment: increasing deficits and increasing monetary expansion.

    Here is where Bernanke is firing a warning shot across Congress's bow. His speech is a warning to Congress that the Federal Reserve will not take the hit. It will not destroy the dollar in order for Congress to play its game of deception.

    This was Bernanke's Declaration of independence. The media did not pick up on this. I don't think Congress did, either.

    Yet this is an intolerable situation for the US. It should be no surprise that Washington has begun to retaliate in earnest, and not just by passing the Reform for Fair Trade Act in the House (not yet the Senate), clearing the way for punitive tariffs against currency manipulators.

    The atomic bomb, of course, is quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve. America has in effect issued an ultimatum to China and G20: either you stop this predatory behaviour and agree to some formula for global rebalancing, or we will deploy QE2 `a l’outrance’ to flood your economies with excess liquidity. We will cause you to overheat and drive up your wage costs. We will impose a de facto currency revaluation by more brutal and disruptive means, and there is little you can do to stop it. Pick your poison.

    Now, you may say, ‘that was a long time ago, it had to do with the Cold War, and it is simply not fair to criticize and judge based on this particular example…’And, I’d say, okay. Let’s fast forward. Let’s look at what we did with these same groups, in the 90s, after the wall came down and the Soviet empire collapsed.

    The problem is this: without the Cold War excuse our foreign policymakers had a real hard time justifying our joint operations and terrorism schemes in the resource-rich ex Soviet states with these same groups, so they made sure they kept these policies unwritten and unspoken, and considering their grip on the mainstream media, largely unreported. Now what would your response be if I were to say, on the record, and if required, under oath:

    Between 1996 and 2002, we, the United States, planned, financed and help execute every single major terrorist incident by Chechen rebels (and the Mujahideen) against Russia

    Between 1996 and 2002, we, the United States, planned, financed and help execute every single uprising and terrorism related scheme in Xinxiang (aka East Turkistan and Uyghurstan)

    Between 1996 and 2002, we, the United States, planned and carried out at least two assassination schemes against pro Russia officials in Azerbaijan


    Those of you who are truly familiar with our real history and foreign policy making past would yawn, and say, ‘but of course. That has been our modus operandi for many decades.’ Unfortunately, the great majority would either be shocked if open minded, or shake their head in disbelief and write it off as another ‘conspiracy theory;’ well, thanks to our mainstream media.

    Number one. Baghdad will have a Tehran-friendly and Shi'ite-friendly government, with intertwined strategic interests. But that does not mean it will be ruled by Tehran. Sunnis will have to included; otherwise civil war will be back (not that it ever left; what General David "counter-insurgency or bust" Petraeus managed to do was to sell to a gullible US public opinion a "surge" as a fake victory).

    Number two. All that oil. Iraq's proven oil reserves now stand at 143.1 billion barrels, up from 115 billion barrels. That makes them the third-largest in the world, above Iran, according to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Oil exports account for 95% of Baghdad's revenue. And most of the new oil will be exploited by Chinese, Russian and Asian companies, not US Big Oil. So much for the neo-conservative dream of a US-controlled Iraq as "the new OPEC".

    Number three. The final nail in the coffin of the neo-conservative fantasy of a Greater Middle East as an American lake. And to believe that these people still have a shot at being back at the helm of the US government by November 2012. Uncle Marx, we miss you so much; history does prefer to repeat itself as farce.

    WikiLeaks is not the only publisher of the US embassy cables. Other media outlets, including Britain's The Guardian, The New York Times, El Pais in Spain and Der Spiegel in Germany have published the same redacted cables.

    Yet it is WikiLeaks, as the co-ordinator of these other groups, that has copped the most vicious attacks and accusations from the US government and its acolytes. I have been accused of treason, even though I am an Australian, not a US, citizen. There have been dozens of serious calls in the US for me to be "taken out" by US special forces. Sarah Palin says I should be "hunted down like Osama bin Laden", a Republican bill sits before the US Senate seeking to have me declared a "transnational threat" and disposed of accordingly. An adviser to the Canadian Prime Minister's office has called on national television for me to be assassinated. An American blogger has called for my 20-year-old son, here in Australia, to be kidnapped and harmed for no other reason than to get at me.

    And Australians should observe with no pride the disgraceful pandering to these sentiments by Julia Gillard and her government. The powers of the Australian government appear to be fully at the disposal of the US as to whether to cancel my Australian passport, or to spy on or harass WikiLeaks supporters. The Australian Attorney-General is doing everything he
    can to help a US investigation clearly directed at framing Australian citizens and shipping them to the US.

    Technically, the FED is not printing money – currency – but that response is deliberately deceptive. The M1 money supply has not changed in any significant way. Over the last year, the monetary base also did not change. The FED says it will increase the purchase of T-bonds by $600 billion. Where will it get the money to do this? Not a printing press, but its functional equivalent: the legal right to create digits in a computer. If this is not the functional equivalent of a printing press, then where will the FED get the money to buy all that debt?

    China

    Anyone (is there anyone out there?),

    I began looking into China back in 1995, or so, because Mass Media wasn't reporting on China, and that, to me, was a huge absence of vital data. Even then the few reports available indicated a shift of power as China began financing U.S.A. (Inc. LLC) military aggression with debt purchases.

    People can view U.S.A. Inc. LLC military aggression any way their black hearts desire, or need, as an apology for such crimes, but I don't do that, so my writing isn't filtered by that need for ego boosting or for moral conscience neutralization.

    It is a fact that the people running U.S.A. are people who plan on and then execute aggressive wars for profit, the very thing that Nazi government people were tried, convicted, and put to death for committing. That is the truth. If you see it as an awful truth, then that is how you see that truth. That truth remains true no matter how you see it, no matter how you filter the actual accurate data.

    China, since as far back as I've looked, has financed U.S.A aggression, by purchasing Federal Reserve/Treasury issued debt; which is, as far as I know, electronic and paper debt. Electronic and paper debt can be turned into land titles, stocks, bonds, and legal instruments that transfer legal titles of actual wealth, and actual power - including gold mines, oil wells, Real Estate, etc.

    I'm writing all of this down before viewing the rest of the story with Paul Jay and REAL NEWS - on China. I'm writing a pre-response introduction to the subject of China as China relates to people in America and people in China and as China the "government" relates to U.S.A Inc. LLC i.e. The United States National (not "federal") government.

    A. People in America (A.K.A. tax payers)
    B. U.S.A government
    C. People in China (the ones who produce the power that empowers D)
    D. Chinese government

    Four distinct and separate divisions of actual people who actually are in one or the other group - accurately separate from the other group.

    It is possible to accurately separate group A from group B with the following score card:

    A pays and B consumes

    A tax payer or person inside of U.S.A Inc. LLC pays that debt.

    A government employee consumes that debt payment.

    Wealth is created by people, and government employees spend that wealth; A and B.

    If you are paying the cost of those expenses, working, and having your wealth spent by the government, then you are in the A group.

    If you are spending the wealth paid into that fund of dollars, then you are in group B.

    A person can be in both A and B, but the majority are in A only. Few are in B only. That must be that way due to the nature of surplus wealth

    Surplus wealth is the total amount of wealth produced by human begins that isn't consumed immediately by human beings - money in the bank.

    It take a whole lot of people contributing to one single "pot of gold" to be able to make one single person supper rich. The opposite situation, the situation that does not exist, is a situation whereby surplus wealth is abundant to the point whereby everyone is super rich. There can be no argument here, not while millions of people on the planet starve to death. The few are super rich because the many transfer power to the few - that is the truth no matter which filter you use to view that fact.

    A. Many people in the U.S.A who create wealth.
    B. Few people running U.S.A. corporation who spend the wealth created by A.
    C. Many people in China who create wealth.
    D. Few people running China (government) who spend the wealth created by C.

    Debt bridges the gap between A,B,C, and D. Please see this fact before entertaining the validity of my comments concerning the REAL NEWS report on China.

    If China the government and China the people were on one planet in a far away solar system from U.S.A. the corporation and the people in America, then there could still be a debt connection, so long as digital records could travel the distance.

    The people in America could still finance the aggressive wars for profit planned and executed by the people running U.S.A. Inc. LLC by selling debt to the people running China the government. Please understand that much.

    In the scenario whereby China and America are separated by light years of space, in different solar systems, the concept of debt could still exist. The controllers (I won't call them leaders) of American power can call up the controllers of Chinese power and ask for permission to spend Chinese wealth.

    The controllers of Chinese wealth can then say: Yes or No. Yes, go ahead and spend Chinese Wealth, or, no, you do not have our permission to spend Chinese wealth - take a hike.

    If the Chinese are thinking that they are buying wealth from the controllers of U.S.A Inc. as in buying American wealth, when debt notes are purchased, then the separate solar system scenario can work for us to see how that transfer of American wealth to China works according to any scenario imaginable. Keep in mind that no sane person can look at 14 trillion dollars "worth" of debt and expect to be paid such a sum of wealth. Look at the numbers with a sane mind. Use the filter of sanity. Debt per tax payer is over 100,000 dollars. It takes a tax payer one life time of work to pay for one home. The cost of one home, a rough average, is 100,000 dollars, and if the home is purchased with debt, then 100,000 dollars goes to a bank as interest, for a total of 200,000 dollars paid by the tax payer, half in interest payments, the other half for the cost of the home. How many people can afford 100,000 dollars for the home, 100,000 dollars for the interest on a loan for a home, 100,000 dollars to pay for debt notes sold to investors by The FED/Treasury U.S.A Inc. LLC people, and current tax payments?

    A. People paying taxes
    1. 100,000 dollar home
    2. 100,000 dollar interest on the home loan
    3. 100,000 dollar worth of debt per tax payer owed right now to someone or some group to be paid by tax payers
    4. Tax debt currently owed by tax payers as a percent of income.

    That is 300,000 dollars required to be paid by tax payers just for their own castle, their own home, in their own land, and that doesn't even begin to add up the wealth required to be earned, the work that must be done, just to pay the current taxes as a percentage of wealth earned by the tax payers.

    Who is fooling whom with that debt clock?

    China has been purchasing debt for decades. China buys debt for a reason. The reason can't be an expectation of cashing in those debt notes, the paper isn't worth the current appraised value, it can't be, that is a physical impossibility. American tax payers cannot work harder, cannot do without more, not to that tune, that tune, that is played by that debt clock, is false. It is an abomination, a huge lie.

    Who is lying to whom?

    I'll view and then quote from the report on China by Paul Jay and The REAL NEWS.


    And from the US point of view, China has been undervaluing its currency.


    Please know that confusion is required for the big lie to perpetuate. The victims can't be allowed to figure out exactly how the victims are being victimized.

    A. People paying taxes in America
    B. U.S.A. "government" collectors and consumers of tax "revenue"
    C. People paying taxes in China
    D. Chinese government collectors and spenders of Chinese wealth

    Go back to the idea whereby America and China are in different solar systems and the controller of U.S.A Inc. LLC calls up the leader of China and the controller of U.S.A Inc. says:

    You, leader of China, are "undervaluing your currency".

    Then:

    that has given the Chinese exporter an unfair advantage.   

    That exposes a vital piece of the puzzle. It must then be known:

    A. Products, actual wealth, flows from China on one side of the galaxy to America on the other side of the Galaxy.
    B. People in China produce wealth, and ship wealth to America
    C. People in America produce debt paper, and consume wealth shipped from China

    Before moving on, it may be good to recap.

    1. China buys debt notes from U.S.A Inc. LLC whereby the Chinese finance wars of aggression perpetrated by U.S.A. Inc. on victims other than Chinese victims in Chinese land - more or less.

    2. China ships wealth, made in China, to America in exchange for something, presumably debt notes created by The Fed - dollars.

    The debt paper notes (treasury bills or whatever) that finance the aggressive wars for profit are not going to be worth the current appraised value. China has a lot of these notes, and it would be very foolish, for a fool, to think that China expects to receive the value printed on those debt notes. Who is that foolish?

    The dollars taken in exchange for Chinese products are then added to the flow of stuff into China from America at a rate that is determined by some measure. That is what is being called "an unfair advantage" by people controlling U.S.A. Inc. LLC.

    Why?

    As far as this report is concerned, so far, there isn't any flow of Chinese debt, none whatsoever. So far there is only flow of false debt (over-valued) from U.S.A. Inc. LLC to China. So far there is only mention of actual wealth flowing from China as exports, and so far there is only, presumably, dollars flowing into China in exchange for products made in China, by Chinese people.

    So far China appears to be getting the short end of the stick.

    I will view more of the report by REAL NEWS on China.


    where US and China are going to collaborate on energy technologies


    Before going any further it must be known, by reasonable people, that the dollar is backed, in part, by oil. This is a well known fact. The dollar has been the required money used in the Global oil trading business. To fit this fact into this response to this report I see a need to add another planet into the galaxy, and this planet is separated from China and America in a third solar system.

    On the third planet is oil, and if anyone wants oil the potential buyer has to have dollars, because the seller of oil demands dollars as payment, not Chinese currency, dollars.

    The controllers of U.S.A Inc. LLC doesn't want the seller of oil to sell oil for Chinese currency, that would not be good for the controllers of U.S.A. Inc. LLC, and this fact must be known, or the report on China will not make any sense.

    If China or U.S.A. Inc. invent something more powerful than oil, a new energy technology breakthrough, then the power of oil will be less, and the power gained by having oil only sold for dollars will be less, and this point is important enough to illustrate with another planet, one not yet exploited, not politically exploited, and not economically exploited - not yet.

    Suppose that the fourth planet in the scenario here is a planet where Solar Panels and Electric Cars are made, just chew on that idea for a minute and I'll get another quote from the report by REAL NEWS.

    OK, the third thing is, in addition to climate change, and the exchange rate, they also talk about certain possible cooperation in geopolitical areas, like in Iran, Afghanistan, and in North Korea.

    No mention of Iraq, which as far as I know, has already been divided up between those who have the power to divide it up - oil - of course. Where will the oil flow to, who pays who, and what currency is used by who to who as the oil flows, or as the oil doesn't flow if the price lowers too much?

    A. People in America (tax payers)
    B. U.S.A. Inc. LLC A.K.A. The Dollar Hegemony
    C. People in China (tax payers, creators of wealth)
    D. Chinese government
    C. People who happen to live on top of a lot of oil
    D. People who supposedly govern the people who happen to live on top of a lot of oil.
    E. Climate change as a political means of covering up the oil/money monopoly racket
    F. Actual climate change and what can be done about it.
    G. Energy technology as a political means of covering up the oil/money monopoly racket (A.K.A Military Industrial Complex, A.K.A. The Dollar Hegemony, A.K.A. The Federal Reserve System, A.K.A. The New World Order, etc.)
    H. Actual power producing technology in competition with oil, gas, and other power producing technology such as nuclear power, solar power, wind power, lunar power/tide power, etc.

    The Report can't be less complicated, it seems to me, it has to include all the necessary pieces.

    So far:

    China buys Treasury debt at over-valued prices, they cannot reasonably expect to be paid back as much as they spent to get that worthless paper. That is absurd, just look at the debt clock, no reasonable person can expect American tax payers to produce that much wealth just to hand it over to the Chinese government - really? Perhaps I am the fool here, a real possibility.

    China exports wealth, in the form of products consumed by Americans, in exchange for dollars, dollars that can buy Treasury notes, dollars that can buy oil, not dollars that are paid to Chinese people who make the products.

    U.S.A. controllers (not leaders) complain about Chinese currency being undervalued. That is a side note, really, and it sounds like one Drug dealer complaining to another drug dealer for failing to cut their product with enough laxative.

    Drug dealer A (The Dollar Hegemony):

    "Hey, China, why don't you cut your drugs with enough laxative like us, you are making us look bad, come on, man, that isn't nice."

    It is much more complicated since China isn't enforcing oil/dollar Hegemony around the world with their power to spend their tax/wealth collections. China doesn't spend their surplus wealth on as much military adventures world wide. The "cutting the drugs with laxative" analogy works if you consider that "pure drugs" are economically viable investments where surplus wealth is spent on things that increase surplus wealth, rather than spending surplus wealth only on things that maintain the power to control surplus wealth.

    1. Pure drugs = a government that only uses surplus wealth (tax collected surplus wealth) on expenditures that result in more surplus wealth.

    2. Cutting the drugs with laxative = less economically viable investments of surplus wealth and more expenditures of surplus wealth spent on maintaining control over the competition - eliminating all competition as competitors threat to take over the drug business (collecting and spending surplus wealth).

    China has planet China filled with all the people hooked on surplus wealth; where the people running the Chinese government collect all the surplus wealth and then they distribute the surplus wealth back to the people in their turf. Some of the surplus wealth is spent on maintaining the power to collect the surplus wealth at home, and some of the surplus wealth is spent on keeping out invaders who intend to take over the power to collect surplus wealth. Some of the power is spent on things that increase the total production of surplus wealth.

    U.S.A Inc. LLC has control over planet America. The controllers have spent all the surplus wealth already, for some time now, and are now busy selling off all the stored wealth, in exchange for permission to go ahead with aggressive wars for profit, on other planets, planets where oil can be found, natural gas, opium, and other valuable things - cutting the dope with laxative - and the people in America who are hooked on surplus wealth are no longer getting high because laxative doesn't get people high. Laxative has another purpose.

    I'll return to the REAL NEWS report looking for another quote, but first I'm going to post this here, and on my own site, to avoid loss of this investment in my time and energy - my power.

    Part II

    sustaining a growth rate of 8 to 9 percent

    I have to confess to having confused terms in my last reply. When the term "undervalued" is used, as in "And from the US point of view, China has been undervaluing its currency", it seems, the meaning is such that the paper is worth less than it would be worth if the people who can undervalue it don't undervalue it.

    That is even more of a side track issue than the drug dealer turf battle analogy intended to address. Why would anyone want to go down that rabbit hole?

    Why speak in terms that cause more confusion, instead of speaking in terms that report common sense?

    A. China supposedly wants to keep wages low and depend upon exporting wealth from China to America to keep their own economy growing at 8 to 9 percent.
    B. China supposedly wants to do the opposite and invest in increased worker wages, to create consumption demand at home, and stop depending on exports to America.

    What words were used in the report when the concept of increasing worker wages was reported? This is important. I will find those words and quote those words:

    but they don't want to do the massive income redistribution required for that

    I'm calling for a reality check.

    My way of checking on that reality is to resubmit an easy method by which wealth is redistributed, it is not massive, it is common sense, it is easy, and it can be done very soon, without anyone being injured with only one exception whereby the people who earn their living through lawful fraud, or lawful violence, will no longer be able to earn their living through lawful fraud, or lawful violence, since the demand for such a thing will decrease.

    A. Fix the problem (Reality Check) without harming anyone.
    B. Exception to the "without harming anyone" is such that people who harm other people will feel injured when they can't harm other people, earning their living, with that method.

    Reality Check:

    Chinese government or U.S.A. Inc. LLC, or both, produce 2 new financial instruments and offer these instruments to any buyer, any consumer, any living, breathing, person on the planet Earth.

    Product 1:
    No interest home loan and/or a no interest business property loan, denominated in a new unit of legal currency, designed for these specific purchases, and the value of the currency is valuable as a means by which the holder of the currency after the sale of the home, or after the sale of the old mortgage, can pay tax debt once the receiver of the currency, in exchange for the home, or in exchange for the mortgage, has the currency to pay tax debt.

    You, the reader, can't do two things at this point without lying to yourself. You can't believe that you have understood the report by REAL NEWS on China, and at the same time, you can't say that you don't understand the above offering as a reality check on that REAL NEWS report on China.

    I'm offering a simple solution to the problems reported in that REAL NEWS report.

    What could any reader possibly find at fault with Product number 1?

    Product number 1 provides half of a reality check on the REAL NEWS report, for one thing.

    The other half of the reality check is product number 2.

    Product number 2, like product number 1, is a loan, this loan, however, earns the producer and seller of product number 1 and 2 (the bank), a means by which the cost of producing the product is recovered, and that means is an additional charge to the borrower of a 1% interest rate payment added to the loan; where the consumer of the loan has to pay back the whole amount borrowed, plus 1% simple annual interest. Product 2 is only offered for purchases of products that are proven to increase surplus wealth, more power, such as Solar Panels, Electric Cars, Home Vertical Farming Modular Units for inexpensive high quality food production or CO2 eating algae fuel production, and other proven economic wealth producing or wealth savings products.

    This reality check cuts to the heart of the problem that the report by REAL NEWS reports; whereby one producer of legal financial instruments, a bank, in the U.S.A, and another producer of legal financial instruments, in China, are supposedly making deals as they meet and discuss current events.

    Product 1 and product 2 above will fix all the supposed problems that are supposedly "on the table". The reality check is such that the supposed problems, such as climate control, national security, wages, economy, and whatever, are smoke and mirrors for the real power struggle. They are going to discuss who gets what, and how they can remain in control of their subjects, their real interests.

    A. People in America (tax payers) the real interests

    B. Controllers of the surplus wealth created by Americans (they have a real interest in maintaining control over the flow of excess wealth from A to B)

    C. People in China (workers who create wealth)

    D. Controllers of the surplus wealth created in China

    B and D are meeting, and discussing, and planning on, and then are going to execute those plans, on what to do with A and C.

    The interests of B and D are "on the table" and those interests are A and C.

    A and C are on the table.

    People in America and people in China are the interests of the people having the power over both the U.S. and the Chinese government.

    The interests of the people in America and China would best be served, if that was the interest to be served, by creating more surplus wealth, and creating so much surplus wealth that everyone, everywhere, had more than enough, plenty, and even more than plenty, so much surplus wealth that very few people left on the planet had any interest at all in giving permission to anyone, ever, to conduct another aggressive war for profit, of any size whatsoever. Such things would actually be against the law if the real interests of the people who create wealth were served and the people who create wealth were allowed to produce abundant surplus wealth.

    Product 1 and 2 offer that reality check on that supposed meeting between the supposed leader "of the free world" and the supposed communist leader of China - what a joke.

    I think, and I may be wrong, that Paul Jay knows it is joke, and that his hands are tied. He has to report news in the fashionable language of our times - double speak.

    I'll view the rest of the report.

    Readers, if such a thing exists, can do so too, while they read my comments, and don't forget, discussion is against the law, so you can read, but you can't discuss the topic.

    You can only read, pay taxes, and shut up.

    government stimulus money

    Reality check:

    If a person borrows money and pays back all the money borrowed then a person borrows from himself and pays himself back, end of story.

    The false story is:

    government stimulus money

    Where does "government" get money?

    You are not supposed to know any of this stuff. You are supposed to listen to such things as "government stimulus money" and go along with the fraud - perpetuate victimization.

    I thought Paul Jay knew better. It might be just me. I may be all confused. Paul Jay may have the answers, not me.

    Seriously:

    If you have earned a good credit rating, you have worked and produced wealth, you borrow money, you pay back every cent, then, truly, do you earn the power to purchase on your own good faith and credit?

    Why would you ever assume to be required to pay someone else twice the value of your home for the privileged of borrowing money from bank A or bank B?

    Where do you think bank A or bank B earns its power to offer good faith and credit?

    When did the cart begin pulling the horse? You must read to find the truth, the answer has long past, ages ago, when the cart began pulling the horse.

    Product 1, as I tried to convey to any reader, not just in this work, illuminates the falsehoods by way of offering a very easy to understand, simple, solution to the supposed problems that are supposedly "on the table" here in this report.

    Product 2 suffices to finance any bank having a license to offer products 1 and 2.

    No monopoly bank will offer such a deal, because they don't have to offer such a deal, because the definition of a monopoly bank is a bank that isn't forced by competition to increase quality and lower cost.

    Quality of money is measurable as the power to purchase.

    Cost of money is measurable as the price charged to the consumer - interest rate.

    The controllers of surplus wealth collected from the people who create it in America have a monopoly bank.

    The controllers of the wealth collected from the people in China have a competitive monopoly bank.

    When the controllers of America meet the controllers of China the business they have involves their ability to compete as controllers of the wealth collected from their subjects or victims.

    What would happen if only China or only America offered anyone on the planet the two products I explained above?

    If China offered the product, then the U.S.A dollar would soon be worthless.

    Suppose you, in America, could purchase product 1 and product 2 from a producer of that product in China, because you have earned your own good faith and credit?

    Suppose that you are now upside down in your current house, your loan amount is twice what the sale price of an identical house next door is, you are still paying every payment on your upside down loan, your credit rating is good, you earn yourself to be a customer to purchase product 1 and product 2.

    You submit all your information on-line. A check arrives from China. You know that you have to pay back every dime you borrow from the Chinese bank offering product 1 to you. You go to your bank, with your check, with the new money, the entire amount of the loan, and your bank says "no way Jose'" we are an America bank, we don't take that new Chinese money.

    Now you have found out how stupid I am, and how stupid product 1 and 2 is - in reality?

    The Chinese producer of product 1 stipulates the following:

    If your current mortgage holder does not honor the new Chinese money, on face value, you are not charged with a lower credit rating for walking away from that house and that mortgage and using the new Chinese money to buy another house, the identical one next door for example, or build another house, and, furthermore, you can use product 2 to begin a home construction business that accepts new Chinese money.

    they're pegging to the US dollar now

    The reverse is true.

    Suppose America produces this new money instead of China, and Chinese people begin signing up for, and receiving new American money, to build new Chinese homes, or pay off old Chinese mortgages, or buy existing Chinese homes that are up for sale?

    1.
    Paying no interest on the home mortgage; because the borrower, in effect, borrows from him or her self, based upon his, or her, earned credit, good faith, and good credit.

    2.
    Established business as usual.

    Each person buying the new product 1 loan cuts their monthly mortgage payment roughly in half, thereby increasing their effective income by that exact amount.

    Where does someone go to turn in their dollars earned at work for new, better, higher quality, and lower cost money, so as to pay off their new half price, no interest, mortgage loan?

    Note:

    but they don't want to do the massive income redistribution required for that

    And note:

    government stimulus money

    Who is fooling who?

    I'm going to view the rest of the REAL News report.

    it will increase imports of raw materials, energy, from Latin America, from Middle East.

    and

    So that may contribute to a relatively rapid growth in the global economy for some years.

    Power products, oil for example, flowing into China, booming it, 8 to 9% sustained growth, because power flows into China, like blood flowing into an anemic body, rather than having, for a prescribed treatment: blood letting, leaching, draining, eviscerating.

    What do the "investments" purchase - exactly?

    That is the key. They talk about "government stimulus" as if it is either turned on or off the entire body.

    A. Stimulate China
    B. Do not Stimulate China

    Example:

    and that, however, could lead to excess capacity in a few years.

    Turn China on, add government stimulus, what happens?

    "Excess capacity"

    Turn China off.

    Who is fooling who?

    In reality there are specific people who get the money, and then specific people consume the money by some means, something does happen, something occurs in each case, where each person spends the money, or invests the money.

    Look back at product 1 and 2 please.

    In every single case where the mortgage is cut down from whatever it was to a no interest loan, each and every case, there will be the reverse of "excess capacity". When will all the people who prove that they can pay back every cent borrowed ever reach "excess capacity"?

    Each case is a case of more power in the hands of a potential consumer to consume more, or save more, or invest more, or even loan more if the mortgage owner of product 1 wants to loan the savings earned by cutting the mortgage rate down, loan that extra cash instead of save it, even loan that extra money each month instead of spending it, loan it to a deadbeat relative, and hoping beyond hope that the deadbeat relative will use the money to pull himself out of trouble and into honest productive society.

    More from the REAL NEWS:

    So there are people who concerned about possible asset bubble in the real estate sector

    If loans are pushed by people onto people, such as things known in America as Liar Loans, then people who can't pay back loans, their history proves that they can't pay back loans, will get loans, and then they will fail to pay them back, on schedule. 

    Who is worried about such a thing as that happening? 

    That would not happen in a case where the product for sale was a no interest mortgage loan offered to people with good credit ratings.

    Another product could be a product offered to people who don't have good credit and the risk involved in such a deal is charged to that specific consumer as an interest rate charge calculated higher for one higher risk consumer, due to low credit rating, and a lower interest calculation is based on a history of less bad credit worthiness. No interest to those who earn no interest.

    Confusion is caused by some people, complication is caused by other people. Who pays for having added confusion or complication?

    The point here is to point out how the report fails to accurately identify the cause of the Real Estate Bubble, which was intentional, and facilitated by actual people actually producing and selling Liar Loans; whereby loan officers were actually threatened with job termination for failing to sell loans to people who prove that they cannot pay back the loan.

    That type of behavior can only occur when banking monopolies exist; where competition is against the law, and where quality is not forced higher, and where price is not forced lower, by the force of competition.

    The proof of the fact that a banking monopoly exists is easy to document, on the paper trail, because an actual competitive market would have forced the producers of Liar Loans out of business, rather than reward them, with more credit, for having planned and then executed those frauds known as Liar Loans, and other frauds.

    In a monopoly the production of lower quality stuff at higher prices are rewarded. Low quality is rewarded. High prices are rewarded. Law rewards them. They own the law. The market is fixed.

    In competition the producers of lower quality at higher prices lose market share while the producers of higher quality at lower prices gain market share. If true competition existed in the U.S.A banking business the producers of very low quality (Liar Loans) at any price (interest rate) would have gone out of business or would have gone into the Real Estate business once they had to sell all those homes defaulted by all those people who proved that they couldn't pay the mortgage payments even before they received their money based upon their proven lack of good credit (faith be damned).

    In a monopoly banking system (The Federal Reserve "system" extortion racket) enormous rewards are stolen from the public accumulation of surplus wealth and transferred to the accounts of the planners and executioners of such things as Lair Loans and the sale of bundles of such mortgages by fraud to unsuspecting victims.

    That case is closed in all but an actual legal court. The actual legal court actually enforces the existence and perpetuation of the banking monopoly - in fact.


    And so if this fixed investment cannot be sustained, there will be real trouble.
     

    What is fixed investment?

    Product 2, in the hypothetical reality check, that would work, if the idea is to actually sustain the creation of greater and greater, supplies of surplus wealth would be Solar Panels fixed onto houses, Electric Cars, producers of Electric Cars as a result of the demand for them, Home Modular Green House Vertical Farming Units fixed to each home that wants to reduce their own cost of food and increase their own quality of food, etc.

    What trouble?

    When the investment, the government stimulus, is spent on an aggressive war for profit, what is the fixed investment in that case? A flow of oil from Iraq, or is it to fix the price of oil by cutting off that flow of oil from Iraq?

    I see a real need to cut this effort off soon.

    and also if China's rapid growth of energy demand cannot be met by the constrained world energy supply (especially there's a concern about the world oil production may have peaked), and then that may lead to the next crisis.

    Product 2.

    Anyone with good credit can purchase a 1% interest loan, simple annual interest, and buy only things proven to produce more wealth, more power, such as a Solar Panel, and such as an electric car.

    As oil prices go up, a person with an electric car saves even more that 80%. Currently an electric car costs 2 cents per mile. An oil powered car costs about 10 cents per mile.

    A person with a Solar Panel Power House makes his own motor fuel at home, saving even more, about 10% compared to current electric prices.

    So what happens if electric prices and gasoline prices go up - crisis? Why?

    Bad investments, failure to know things worth knowing, what?

    What about things such as a Modular Vertical Farming Units that produces food or fuel? Fuel made from Algae, where the production of Algae consumes CO2. A bubble of power producers fixed to many homes across the land, more and more and more as that potential growth bubbles into a power producing bubble is one that won't burst. How could it burst? Energy is too abundant, prices are too low?

    That is a potential exponential growth rate, comparable in total output to a much larger scale government or private or private/government or subsidized by government private business venture whereby a large scale algae fuel production farm is produced by such an investment of surplus wealth collected into one fund for such an investment. How much will someone charge everyone for that power per watt, like Hover Dam?

    Is that fixed, or ignored?

    China and Global Economy

    Instead, China has attempted to buy time with massive investments  in infrastructure.

    The angle of view appears to be such that economic booms and busts are random, or for lack of a better word, unpredictable, or unplanned.

    That is nonsense. Many people controlling many supplies of money in human history, and even right now, are fully aware of the power money has on "the economy".

    Think in terms of a gardener, where water is added to either the strawberry crop or water is added to the carrot crops, which crop live (bubble), which crop will die (bust)?

    When human beings invented and then incorporated agriculture and irrigation into human existence what do you think the people having control over the flow of water did with that power?

    Then human begins began producing much more than they could consume with that power to boom their surplus wealth creation, and they stored wealth in storage bins, such as grain bins. People then paid taxes with grain (excess wealth) and received tickets (money) to get grain back when needed.

    The people controlling the flow of water could cut the supply of water off to an undesirable member of the community, if that member didn't behave according to whatever the controller of the flow of water judged by discrimination, or judgment, as to what is, or what is not acceptable behavior. Controllers of the production of grain tickets (money) gained a similar power.

    Which power was greater?

    A. The power to cut off water to anyone needing water in the production of surplus wealth.

    B. The power to cut off tickets (money) to anyone needing tickets in the production of surplus wealth.

    Water has the power to boom or bust agricultural production only, and then secondarily any production dependent on grain, such as grain based money. Money has the power to boom any specialized production whatsoever since money is the power to purchase anything that can be purchased, or it isn't money.

    If readers, thinkers, commentators, politicians, economists, scientists, or just people like me, don't understand the power of money creation with the ability of the creators of money to boom or bust any production of wealth then readers, etc., won't understand the power to create a boom and bust cycle A.K.A. The Business Cycle.

    Add water to the carrots and carrots live. Take away water to the strawberry and the strawberries die. Add too much water to the carrots and what happens? You may not know. You may not be a gardener. Are you in control of the number of U.S.A. issued dollars?

    How many dollars have you created today? Where did you spend those dollars created today? How many Chinese dollars (Yuan/Renminbi?) did you add or subtract from the total number you alone control? Where did you invest the new additional Chinese dollars?

    If your army is large enough to defend against an aggressive army of plundering criminals, then you can afford to cause a business cycle inside your turf. You can afford to boom your economy, carrots, strawberries, Real Estate, Tennis shoes, Big Macs, Infrastructure (new irrigation trenches expanding the geographical turf area), etc. and then you can afford to bust it, then boom it, then bust it, then boom it, with your own business cycle.

    If you can create and maintain a business cycle you know when to sell at the high point, when prices are highest, and you know when to sell at the low point, when prices are lowest, and therefore you can own, or control, everything over time.

    The power over surplus wealth flows to you, and everyone on your list of collaborators, and from those who actually create the surplus wealth, the farmers, the workers, the former business owners bought out during the low points, etc.

    If you don't know this fact, and it is a simple fact, you can't know the truth about what is happening at the G20, etc.

    Right now the winners in the contest to gain the most power while using the power to create money are the people who create the U.S. Dollar unit of currency. How powerful are the people who create the U.S. Dollar unit of currency?

    Score card?

    How do you see that score card? Does it make sense to you? To me it makes all the sense in the world. When the people who bust America accomplish that task on their list they will move to China, if they can, and continue "business as usual" in China; meaning that the business cycle will move to China, and China will become the winner in the contest to gain the most power while using the power to create money.

    If the people in America regain control over their own money, because the people who have the most power have moved to China, then America will no longer suffer from planned booms and busts.

    What happens to all the titles of all the wealth in America during this transition?

    Will the owners of all the titles in America sell at bargain basement prices while they have busted the American economy?

    Look at the score card, the Debt Clock, and see both sides of that clock, not just one side.

    A. Trillions are owed, and a group of people are expected to pay what is owed.
    B. Trillions are owed to a group of people who expect to be paid.

    When the debt reaches a level at which it becomes physically impossible to pay back the debt, the debt will not be paid back. Reality is.

    When the time is right a move will be made and the most powerful will know that time and they alone will cash in on whatever is left in America. Power will shift to China, and China will be the winners.

    How important is it to be the winners?

    The winners, the people who seize control over the power to print money, can run up huge debts, and sustain huge debts for decades, or even a century. Other people have no choice, other people have to loan power to the people who seize control over the power to print money, just like carrots have no power to refuse water.

    The dollar is currently the winner, the debt clock proves this fact.

    If the dollar was worthless, no one would care about the debt clock, it would be nothing but a cartoon - laughable.

    What happens when the shift does occur, and the power to print money moves to China?

    The debt clock becomes laughable - a cartoon. No one will need a dollar for anything, and everyone can begin using the new World Reserve Currency.

    How long, please think, will it take before the shift of power is complete?

    The ones who know it is happening have already shifted, where do you think the Bail Out trillions went? They already know that the dollar is worthless, and they already know that you aren't anyone unless you are already moving capital to China. Those who are slow will be left holding the empty bag.

    Now, for sure, I could have this wrong, and the real plan is to keep the dollar strongest, to keep the dollar as the World Reserve Currency, and the real plan is to trick people into investing in China, while the real power remains backing the dollar. The 'tea leaves' suggesting that China will gain World Reserve Currency Power status are false - if I am wrong.

    I hope I am wrong.

    What do you think China will do once it has control over the World Reserve Currency?

    I think it is much better to live in a world where the supply of currency, or money, is forced by competition to be higher in quality and lower in cost, which is the opposite of a monopoly power, the opposite of a World Reserve Currency Power.

    The people controlling the supply of Dollars go around the world conducting aggressive wars for profit, torturing, and mass murdering. What do you think will happen when those people gain control of China?

    If the people of China resist a take over by the people who had and then abandoned the dollar, so as to move the power of monopoly control over money to China, then we may see a time in human history where competition does force the various supplies of money toward ever higher quality and ever lower prices, until the quality of money peaks, at the lowest cost.

    That is the story playing out at the G20.

    The power struggle is a struggle to gain, or resist against, the most powerful people who have control over the Global Reserve Currency - The Dollar Hegemony.

    The Dollar Hegemony has had the power to cause booms and busts, The Business Cycle, anywhere on the globe, except China. Until now.

    Why can't you see this?

    What makes you think my viewpoint is inaccurate?

    A. Global Money Monopoly used to keep surplus wealth flowing from those who create surplus wealth to those who enforce the Global Money Monopoly

    B. Competition forcing the supply of money, on Earth, to the highest possible quality money, at the lowest possible cost.

    That is the struggle, and if nothing happens at the G20, then it will be business as usual, on schedule, continued enforcement of a Global Money Monopoly with two possible outcomes:

    A. The Dollar Hegemony
    B. Chinese Hegemony (money monopoly)

    China can't keep pumping up The Dollar Hegemony, because The Dollar Hegemony has reached that point of no return - on purpose.

    What is the purpose of destroying The Dollar Hegemony?

    A. Allow competition in Global money markets to force quality to the highest possible quality and force prices to the lowest possible price.

    B. Move Monopoly Power Control Center to China.

    Tell me you can't see this happening? I want to know why?

    I'll read the rest of the article and I may return to offer more discussion to no one.

    I don't understand how there is any way out of a global crisis unless a conversation begins on how to raise global wages.

    Paul Jay may do well to read Equitable Commerce

    The price of wages must have a standard from which to judge them; judging something relative to something.

    How are wages measured to be low?

    What is low, compared to high - wages?

    Take the very same nickle miner wage rate discussed by Paul Jay, for example, and call that wage 10 per hour.

    If the cost of living is 9 per hour, then a standard is now known, and the measure of wage rate is knowable.

    1 per hour above the cost of living.

    Compare that to a wage rate that is negative 1 per hour - below the cost of living.

    Cost of living 10 per hour (worker needs that much to maintain a standard of living)

    Wage of 9 per hour (paid less than required to maintain a standard of living)

    A standard of living can be a bare minimum standard as well as an average standard.  A bare minimum standard of living is known, by Alexandr I. Solzhenitsyn for example, by calorie count - less calories and the worker dies during work.

    How about a relevant quote?

    HERE


    It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.


    AND

    There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

    If Henry Ford can figure out how capitalism can work, why can't someone else know these same truths?

    I can look for more quotes from Henry Ford, or I can paraphrase from memory, and I choose to write my own words.

    If Henry Ford can pay wages well in excess of the cost of living, then each worker can afford to buy a Ford car, so long as, and this is real news, so long as the Ford car is priced at cost, or near cost, so that a Ford car is competitive in the car business, meaning: the highest quality at the lowest cost.

    The supposed modern capitalist mantra, thinking, rationale, excuse, for lowering wages is to compete in a competitive global market, to find the cheapest labor and then out-price the competition - or lose market share and go out of business.

    That is a lie, or at least only half true.

    The other truth is another supposed modern capitalist mantra, thinking, rationale, excuse, for lowering wages, whereby the modern capitalist confesses a desire for maximizing profits at all cost - let no stone be unturned, no avenue left untraveled, no limit, no restriction, no governing principle whatsoever stand in the way of maximizing profits.

    To who?

    From who?

    Two things:

    A. Highest quality at the lowest price to be competitive - including lowest wage costs.

    B. Highest profits without any limit whatsoever

    Those are two distinct and separate doctrines or methods, actions, thoughts driving action, and to confuse the two would be an error in perception.

    A. Exists in a competitive market - free from crime.

    B. Exists when competition is against the law, a monopoly is enforced by law, whereby crime becomes law.

    Henry Ford figured out how to compete without having to monopolize the car business by resorting crime, or government, seeking subsidy, seeking laws that remove competition. Henry Ford priced the products he and his employees produced at the lowest possible price, and at the highest possible quality. He created a free market monopoly by out producing all competition, for some time, in some places. Worker wages were bid up to bring in the highest quality workers, and wages were pegged at better than living wages, wages sufficient to afford the purchase of the cars being produced by Henry Ford and the workers, and yet, even so, the price of a car was still high enough to transfer purchasing power from all the customers to Henry Ford sufficient to expand the car company, and/or, Henry Ford found financing by other means, such as selling stock, or borrowing (at interest) from banks, so as to expand.

    This is important. The price of the cars sold by Ford could not have been priced "at cost" if after all sales are known and all costs are known and subtracting costs from sales (income) the result is a positive number - profit.

    1. Total income
    2. Total expenses
    3. Positive sum (profit) or negative sum (loss)

    Subtract Total expenses from Total income and the result is a positive number, and it is known then that the price per car is "above cost" - a profit - not the lowest cost possible if expansion is not added to cost. If expansion is added to cost, then profit becomes investment which is a cost.

    What was the best competitor in the car business doing at that time? What wages where they paying their workers? What prices did they set on their cars? What quality did the Ford car measure up against the quality of the competition?

    What quality of the Ford car measured up if the workers were paid less than a cost of living? A Ford built by a worker starving to death compares how well to a Ford built by one who can afford to eat, and buy a Ford?

    If Ford could spend X on a false advertisement campaign, claiming false things about the quality of the car, or spend Y on increased workers wages, which expense brings in the most cash soonest? If Henry Ford wanted to boom Ford stock, consume the workers, consume the tools, consume the infrastructure, inflate the price, then sell it off just before it drowns in debt, and hide the debt off the books, and sell at the top of the boom, cash in, and then move onto another company, would Henry Ford earn a place in modern capitalist dogma?

    How about a quote?

    The construction of I.G. Auschwitz has assured I.G. a unique place in business history. By adopting the theory and practice of Nazi morality, it was able to depart from the conventional economics of slavery in which slaves are traditionally treated as capital equipment to be maintained and serviced for optimum use and depreciated over a normal life span. Instead, I.G. reduced slave labor to a consumable raw material, a human ore from which the mineral of life was systematically extracted. When no usable energy remained, the living dross was shipped to the gassing chambers and cremation furnaces of the extermination center at Birkenau, where the S.S. recycled it into the German war economy – gold teeth for the Reichsbank, hair for mattresses, and fat for soap. Even the moans of the doomed became a work incentive, exhorting the remaining inmates to greater effort.

    And:

    Conditions were such that sickness was a pervasive fact of life among the inhabitants of Monowitz. The hospital wards built by I.G. were so inadequate that even the S.S. suggested additional wards be built. I.G. refused because of the cost.

    From:

    This BOOK

    If Henry Ford could buy a politician and outlaw competition, would Henry Ford earn a spot as a modern capitalist - or a modern fascist?

    The price of wages in a free market, free from crime, does not exist on the planet Earth - in a Global sense - from a macro economic viewpoint.

    From a micro economic viewpoint any person selling his or her labor can jack up the price as high as he or she wants or give away his labor below cost so long as his or her labor is in demand. Why are Rock Stars not seen as laborers? How about Formula 1 race car drivers?

    How much do they charge for an hour of labor? They exist in a free market, on a micro economic scale, as does everyone else selling labor. If what you have is in demand then you can set the price at your own cost, higher than your own cost, or lower than your own cost. If you set the price lower than your own cost, you give away your labor. If you set the price higher than your own cost, you are a capitalist, you are making a profit. If your labor is sold at cost, you are selling your labor at an equitable price. If 100 other people are in competition for the same job, what do you think a Rock Star has to contend with, or a Formula 1 race car driver? labor must have a measure of quality, or there won't be a demand for it.

    If there aren't enough jobs for the number of people seeking jobs, then a reasonable question to ask is: why?

    Back to the report by Paul Jay and REAL NEWS:

    all owned by the same global major firm

    A monopoly power? People may read my words and consider me to be overly redundant when I write about the significance of monopoly power relative to the force of competition.

    A. Monopoly power enforced by law as laws are made to remove the force of competition

    B. Monopoly power earned by producing the highest possible quality at the lowest possible cost without any force applied by law to eliminate competition, no subsidy, no stimulus, no bail out, no flow of power by government from the many tax payers to the few monopolists (not from the workers paying taxes, to the monopoly nickle mining business CEO or Stock Holders), no un-free market criminal abuse of government whatsoever, not even subsidies in the form of health care paid to innocent people injured by pollution caused by nickle miners where those costs are accountable to the nickle miners themselves - and no one else.

    See?

    A nickle mining group of people gain a competitive advantage if laws are made to eliminate or reduce the power someone has to expose injuries caused by nickle mining.  Some innocent person who is injured as a direct result of the nickle miners actions is someone who has costs added to their lives, are injured, and require treatment, costs, caused by nickle miners, and if those costs are paid for by the people who pay taxes and to paid for by the people who willfully cause those injuries, then that is a subsidy, an economic advantage given to that nickel competitor. Workers selling labor do not set policies that cause pollution in the nickle mining business, typically the workers are among the innocent injured victims of policies set by the CEO or perhaps the Stock Holders, who willfully perpetrate criminal injury upon innocent victims for profit - and are paid by the government to do so, because the cost of remedy is "socialized".

    If law prevents innocent injured victims from charging the people who cause the injury the bill for a remedy from the injury, what is law?

    If I am injured by someone, what prevents me from sending that person the hospital bill? What prevents the hospital from charging the criminal?

    Law is crime in modern times. Law is a device by which competition is eliminated.

    A competitor who can expend cost toward the avoidance of paying for remedies for injuries caused by this "competitor", as an investment in avoidance of paying for remedies for injuries caused by this "competitor", and in so doing this "competitor" capitalizes on such and investment, actually earn the power to avoid paying for remedies for injuries caused by this "competitor", is a criminal, not a competitor.

    If I dump poison into my neighbors drinking water, and he suffers as a result, I am guilty of injuring my neighbor. If I do it twice, despite the obvious result known by me, then I am guilty of a willful crime - premeditated.

    If I respond by seeking ways to avoid paying the cost, the doctor bill, to get my neighbor back to good health, then what am I? What is my ability to respond accounting for my willful conduct? Do I keep dumping the poison because I manage to buy a politician that covers my crime up? Is that a modern capitalist or just another criminal? Words either have meaning or they are duplicitous on purpose.

    What if my neighbor and I are competing for the same job at the local nickle mine? Can I eliminate the competition by poisoning that competitor?

    What are people doing when they buy human labor for a price that is less than the bare minimum living wage? Capitalist or criminal? What power exists that allows such a thing to happen? 

    There are people who perceive laborers as competitors and there are people who injure competition as a means by which competition is eliminated. Some are fellow laborers (who isn't?), some are employers.

    A. Capitalism in a free market, free from crime, free from willful injury of other people by capitalists or anyone else.

    B. Capitalism in tandem with crime, where capitalists are criminals, where capitalists plan on and then follow through with the plan to injure innocent victims so as to eliminate competition, so as to increase the flow of power from the many to them by any means whatsoever - without any limit.

    What happens if the workers at one nickle mine happen upon a flow of debt money, where they are loaned a sum of money, at no interest, or 1% interest, whereby they begin mining nickle themselves in the same state, in the same country, as the one monopoly nickle mining company?

    What happens if each worker receives an equal division of profits after costs and that sum is competitive in the nickle worker labor market?

    A. Monopoly nickle wage rate is X
    B. Worker run nickle mining competitor wage is X+Y

    Where will the monopoly nickle mining workers who are working for X per hour go once they have a choice to work for X+Y per hour instead?

    Competition brings quality up and prices down. Ending competition is required to create a monopoly. Ending competition can be accomplished two ways:

    A. Providing the highest quality at the lowest price (free from crime = a free market free from crime)

    B. Crime (legalized or not)

    In addition to that, there's also the problem of depletion of natural resources, especially oil.

    I skipped past the debt crisis part of this DOOM DAY report boding future calamity where none need exist - with qualification.

    A. Is Debt good or bad?
    B. Is scarce oil good or bad?

    The qualification required here is from which perspective is the question answered?

    Debt, if it is debt, is paid. Someone pays. Someone is paid. If it isn't paid, it isn't debt. If it isn't paid, it is something else.

    A guy walks into your home or business, without knocking, and tells you to pay him money for protection. He says you owe him this money.

    You pay him, you know that the guy will hurt you if you don't, so you go along with the story line. You are paying him the protection money that you owe him.

    Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, the emperor is wearing such beautiful clothes.

    Is that debt (protection money) bad?

    Is it doom day?

    When oil prices go up the savings of shifting from gasoline to electric power transportation goes from a current 80% savings to a higher percent savings.

    What makes oil prices go up?

    Will oil prices go up if oil is abundant; running like sunlight in the middle of a summer day with no clouds as far as the eye can see?

    What is the price of clean air, on the same sunny summer day, charged to you today? How much do you have to pay for clean air right now, what is the price per cubic foot of clean air, and do you keep the receipt?

    What would the price of clean air be if one person, or one group of people, seized the power to make clean air scarce, or abundant, to you? What will they set the price of clean air at, then? What would you be willing to pay for clean air, once you have no choice but to pay the price demanded by the monopoly supplier of clean air?

    Where do those nickle minors go when they need liquid credit to start their own mining business and compete in a free market with the monopoly nickle mining business, to see who offers the best nickle at the lowest cost without harming any innocent victims in the process, on purpose?

    What sets the interest rate?

    Who is fooling who?

    in the next five years we will again see a major world economic crisis

    Right now a global money supplier could offer 2 products for sale to anyone on the planet earth who has earned a good credit rating and who therefore has earned a zero interest rate on product 1 and a ONE percent interest rate on product 2.

    That global money supplier would have the power to capture and monopolize the world money production business with those two products - unless someone else offered a higher quality product at a lower price.

    Product 1 allows anyone on Earth to own a home for half the cost currently offered by the global suppliers of money - talk about quality?

    Product 2 allows anyone to convert from the DOOM DAY oil business to the Solar Electric Business starting on that day when the customer purchases that product 2.

    5 years?

    What does that reporter, expert economist, or whatever, think is going to happen when oil prices go higher - relative to the already 80% savings in converting to electric power and even more savings if the consumer converts to solar electric power?

    If I can call up someone and have someone drop on by my house in a few days and have Solar Panels put on my home starting right now, or Monday, when they are open, then I will be prepared, in that way, for this supposed crisis. I call them up. They guarantee that my electric bill will go down - now. Less coal burned. Less CO2 emissions. I save. I effectively increase my income. I effectively increase my ability to buy more things. I increase demand. I can even save my saved electric costs and save up for more Solar Panels once the ones on the roof wear out - thereby sustaining economic demand (for more Solar Panels at least).

    If I call up Nissan, or Tesla, or any of a number of people currently producing Electric cars, and I buy an Electric car right after I install more than enough Solar Panels I effectively stop my future crisis concerning that Day of DOOM when oil prices go up. I make my own car fuel at my own house and the price of my fuel is set by how much the sun shines.

    If I can do that, why can't other people do the same thing?

    Why can't I start up a new global money supply business and begin selling product 1 and 2? How much would my cost of running such a business be, and how much profit could I make once the 1% interest payments begin flowing to me?

    Who would have the power to stop me?

    What if Microsoft, Google, PayPal, Skype, eBay, E-Gold, Wikipedia, or any number of other similar companies began an effort to corner, or monopolize, the global money production business in competition with each other, offering home mortgages, business mortgages, electric car loans, solar panel loans, Modular Vertical Farming Unit (for food or algae fuel production) Loans?

    What would be the highest quality money offered by those competitors vying for market share be? What is the upper most limit of quality in money?

    What would  be the lowest price set by the best competitor, the one who corners the market? What would the lowest possible price of money be, then?

    Would you go Apple or Microsoft?

    Would you choose Mozilla or Windows?

    Would you choose Tesla or Nissan?

    Would you settle for DOOM DAY, the perpetual business cycle, perpetual wars of aggression for profit, and the goon demanding protection money?


    I would not rule out it would develop into a runaway inflation. It's possible.


    People, people, people, come on, really?

    Once a monopoly on money is in force there will be booms and busts, that is how power transfer from those who create power to those who steal power by creating and maintaining The Business Cycle.

    Prices go up, on schedule, but not a schedule that is known by everyone, only a few can know the true schedule, otherwise it would not work as planned.

    Once prices are reaching the peak, the people who control the money supply know when to sell off everything that is over-priced as a direct result of where the new money was sent, housing for example, the people creating and then spending that created money know which products are bubbled up, which things are over-priced, and therefore which things are sold off at the highest price near the peak of the BOOM side of the business cycle. Then money is taken out of circulation by some means, and there are many ways to accomplish a reduction in the money supply, making money scarce to this sector or that sector of the economy, a freeze on home loans for example, an increase in reserve requirements, an increase in the prime rate, Gary North is a good source for such methods of manipulating the money supply.

    Liar Loans cause a BOOM in Real Estate, and then a policy change causes a crash in Real Estate - for example.

    Who knows when the next BOOM will occur?

    What was said in the REAL NEWS report?


    I would not rule out it would develop into a runaway inflation. It's possible.


    Those are code words. What do those words mean? Those words mean specific things. Currently the supply of dollars has doubled, but that new supply of dollars is not flowing through the American economy.

    Early 2008 the dollar supply was X
    Late 2008 the dollar supply was 2X

    Where is that new money?

    Where will that new money go?

    What will that new money buy?

    Why was that new money created?

    Why will the new money buy the things that the new money will buy?


    I would not rule out it would develop into a runaway inflation. It's possible.


    That is like saying:

    I would not rule out the sun appearing again tomorrow. It's possible.

    Once that money is spent the value of the dollar will drop to roughly half of the value of the dollar before the supply doubled in 2008 unless the new money isn't spent. If the new money just sits in the bank, never being spent, the money supply remains at X - not 2X.

    If these people have the power to increase the total units of dollars by double, then they have the power to decrease the total units of dollars by half. They can keep half of the supply in their banks and cut off the flow to all but whomever they want to have the half of the supply they want people to have, and the effect of cutting the total supply of dollar units by half will roughly be an increase in the value of the dollar by double - confusingly called "deflation" because the result is lower prices.

    1. Dollar supply is cut in half

    2. Dollar value eventually doubles (once people understand that dollars are now scarce compared to when twice as many dollars were circulating)

    3. Prices drop, or deflate, because the dollar value doubles

    4. This isn't the first time this has ever happened, it is on a cycle, a schedule, and it is done on purpose by the people who have control over the total number of dollars, because they own the monopoly, because competition is against the law, just like discussion is effectively against the law. Obey. Be afraid. Pay.

    The cart is pulling the horse when the workers are not allowed to make their own money, finance their own mines, or discuss important things using meaningful language.

    Legal crime, for example, exists. Why does it not have a name?

    If Henry Ford could buy a politician and outlaw competition, would Henry Ford earn a spot as a modern capitalist - or a modern fascist?

    The price of wages in a free market, free from crime, does not exist on the planet Earth - in a Global sense - from a macro economic viewpoint.

    From a micro economic viewpoint any person selling his or her labor can jack up the price as high as he or she wants, limited by the demand, or give away his labor below cost, if he wishes to dump his labor on the market or be generous, so long as his or her labor is in demand. Why are Rock Stars not seen as laborers? How about Formula 1 race car drivers? How about corporate raider CEOs?

    How much do they charge for an hour of labor? They exist in a free market, on a micro economic scale, as does everyone else selling labor. If what you have is in demand then you can set the price at your own cost, higher than your own cost, or lower than your own cost. If you set the price lower than your own cost, you give away your labor, you dump it on the market. If you set the price higher than your own cost, you are a capitalist, you are making a profit. If your labor is sold at cost, you are selling your labor at an equitable price. If 100 other people are in competition for the same job, what do you think a Rock Star has to contend with, or a Formula 1 race car driver? labor must have a measure of quality, or there won't be a demand for it.

    If there aren't enough jobs for the number of people seeking jobs, then a reasonable question to ask is: why?

    Back to the report by Paul Jay and REAL NEWS:

    all owned by the same global major firm

    A monopoly power? People may read my words and consider me to be overly redundant when I write about the significance of monopoly power relative to the force of competition.

    A. Monopoly power enforced by law. (laws are made to remove the force of competition, on purpose, for some true or false reasoning, criminals don't often confess, or obey laws, even the ones they write and enforce)

    B. Monopoly power earned by producing the highest possible quality at the lowest possible cost without any force applied by law to eliminate competition, no subsidy, no stimulus, no bail out, no flow of power by government from the many tax payers to the few monopolists (not from the workers paying taxes to the monopoly nickle mining business CEO or Stock Holders), no un-free market criminal abuse of government whatsoever, not even subsidies in the form of health care paid to innocent people injured by pollution caused by nickle miners where those costs are accountable to the nickle miners themselves - and no one else.

    See?

    A nickle mining group of people gain a competitive advantage if laws are made to eliminate or reduce the power someone has to expose injuries caused by nickle mining, and then send them the hospital bill. Some innocent person who is injured as a direct result of the nickle miners actions is someone who has costs added to their lives, are injured, and require treatment, costs, caused by nickle miners, and if those costs are paid for by the people who pay taxes and not paid for by the people who willfully cause those injuries, then that is a subsidy, an economic advantage given to that nickel competitor.

    Workers selling labor do not set policies that cause pollution in the nickle mining business, typically the workers are among the innocent injured victims of policies set by the CEO or perhaps the Stock Holders, who willfully perpetrate criminal injury upon innocent victims for profit - and are paid by the government to do so, because the cost of remedy is "socialized".

    If law prevents innocent injured victims from charging the people who cause the injury the bill for a remedy from the injury, what is law?

    If I am injured by someone, what prevents me from sending that person the hospital bill? What prevents the hospital from charging the criminal?

    Law is crime in modern times. Law is a device by which competition is eliminated.

    A competitor who can expend cost toward the avoidance of paying for remedies for injuries caused by this "competitor", as an investment in avoidance of paying for remedies for injuries caused by this "competitor", and in so doing this "competitor" capitalizes on such and investment, actually earn the power to avoid paying for remedies for injuries caused by this "competitor", is a criminal, not a competitor.

    If I dump poison into my neighbors drinking water, and he suffers as a result, I am guilty of injuring my neighbor. If I do it twice, despite the obvious result known by me, then I am guilty of a willful crime - premeditated.

    If I respond by seeking ways to avoid paying the cost, the doctor bill, to get my neighbor back to good health, then what am I? What is my ability to respond accounting for my willful conduct? Do I keep dumping the poison because I manage to buy a politician that covers my crime up? Is that a modern capitalist or just another criminal? Words either have meaning or they are duplicitous on purpose.

    What if my neighbor and I are competing for the same job at the local nickle mine? Can I eliminate the competition by poisoning that competitor?

    What are people doing when they buy human labor for a price that is less than the bare minimum living wage? Capitalist or criminal? What power exists that allows such a thing to happen?

    Why is there too many workers and not enough jobs in place X at time Y?

    There are people who perceive laborers as competitors and there are people who injure competition as a means by which competition is eliminated. Some are fellow laborers (who is not a laborer/worker?), some are employers (which employers do no work?).

    A. Capitalism in a free market, free from crime, free from willful injury of other people by capitalists or anyone else.

    B. Capitalism in tandem with crime, where capitalists are criminals, where capitalists plan on and then follow through with the plan to injure innocent victims so as to eliminate competition, so as to increase the flow of power from the anyone to them by any means whatsoever - without any limit.

    What happens if the workers at one nickle mine happen upon a flow of debt money, where they are loaned a sum of money, at no interest, or 1% interest, whereby they begin mining nickle themselves in the same state, in the same country, as the one monopoly nickle mining company?

    What happens if each worker receives an equal division of profits after costs from nickle sales and that sum is competitive in the nickle worker labor market, even lower priced nickel, and even higher quality nickle sold by the worker run nickle competitor?

    A. Monopoly nickle wage rate is X
    B. Worker run nickle mining competitor wage is X+Y

    Where will the monopoly nickle mining workers who are working for X per hour go once they have a choice to work for X+Y per hour instead?

    Competition brings quality up and prices down. Ending competition is required to create a monopoly. Ending competition can be accomplished at least two ways:

    A. Providing the highest quality at the lowest price (free from crime = a free market free from crime)

    B. Crime (legalized or not)

    "In addition to that, there's also the problem of depletion of natural resources, especially oil. "

    I skipped past the debt crisis part of this DOOM DAY report, reporting future calamity, where none need exist - with qualification.

    A. Is Debt good or bad?
    B. Is scarce oil good or bad?

    The qualification required here is from which perspective is the question answered?

    Debt, if it is debt, is paid to someone and then returned to someone, with or without adding or subtracting to the amount over time. Someone pays. Someone is paid. If it isn't paid, it isn't debt. If it isn't paid, it is something else.

    A guy walks into your home or business, without knocking, and tells you to pay him money for protection. He says you owe him this money. You are in debt. What did you buy with the money you borrowed?

    You pay him, you know that the guy will hurt you if you don't, so you go along with the story line. You are paying him the protection money that you owe him. You know that the money you supposedly borrowed is the money paid to this goon by his employers.

    Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, the emperor is wearing such beautiful clothes.

    Quote time:

    Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.

    Is that debt (protection money) bad?

    Is it doom day?

    When oil prices go up the savings earned by shifting from gasoline to electric power transportation goes from a current 80% savings to a higher percent savings.

    What makes oil prices go up?

    Will oil prices go up if oil is abundant; running like sunlight in the middle of a summer day with no clouds as far as the eye can see?

    What is the price of clean air, on the same sunny summer day, charged to you today? How much do you have to pay for clean air right now, what is the price per cubic foot of clean air, and do you keep the receipt?

    What would the price of clean air be if one person, or one group of people, seized the power to make clean air scarce, or abundant, to you? What will they set the price of clean air at, then? What would you be willing to pay for clean air, once you have no choice but to pay the price demanded by the monopoly supplier of clean air?

    Where do those nickle minors go when they need liquid credit to start their own mining business and compete in a free market with the monopoly nickle mining business, to see who offers the best nickle at the lowest cost without harming any innocent victims in the process, on purpose?

    What sets the interest rate?

    Who is fooling who?

    "in the next five years we will again see a major world economic crisis"

    Right now a global money supplier could offer 2 products for sale to anyone on the planet earth who has earned a good credit rating and who therefore has earned a zero interest rate on product 1 and a ONE percent interest rate on product 2.

    That global money supplier would have the power to capture and monopolize the world money production business with those two products - unless someone else offered a higher quality product at a lower price.

    Product 1 allows anyone on Earth to own a home for half the cost currently offered by the global suppliers of money - talk about quality?

    Product 2 allows anyone to convert from the DOOM DAY oil business to the Solar Electric Business starting on that day when the customer purchases that product 2.

    5 years?

    What does that reporter, expert economist, or whatever, think is going to happen when oil prices go higher - relative to the already 80% savings in converting to electric power and even more savings if the consumer converts to solar electric power?

    If I can call up someone and have someone drop on by my house in a few days and have Solar Panels put on my home starting right now, or Monday, when they are open, then I will be prepared, in that way, for this supposed crisis. I call them up. They guarantee that my electric bill will go down - now. Less coal burned. Less CO2 emissions. I save. I effectively increase my income. I effectively increase my ability to buy more things. I increase demand. I can even save my saved electric costs and save up for more Solar Panels once the ones on the roof wear out - thereby sustaining economic demand (for more Solar Panels at least).

    If I call up Nissan, or Tesla, or any of a number of people currently producing Electric cars, and I buy an Electric car right after I install more than enough Solar Panels I effectively stop my future crisis concerning that Day of DOOM when oil prices go up. I make my own car fuel at my own house and the price of my fuel is set by how much the sun shines.

    If I can do that, why can't other people do the same thing?

    Why can't I start up a new global money supply business and begin selling product 1 and 2? How much would my cost of running such a business be, and how much profit could I make once the 1% interest payments begin flowing to me?

    Who would have the power to stop me?

    What if Microsoft, Google, PayPal, Skype, eBay, E-Gold, Wikipedia, or any number of other similar companies began an effort to corner, or monopolize, the global money production business in competition with each other, offering home mortgages, business mortgages, electric car loans, solar panel loans, Modular Vertical Farming Unit (for food or algae fuel production) Loans?

    What would be the highest quality money offered by those competitors vying for market share be? What is the upper most limit of quality in money?

    What would  be the lowest price set by the best competitor, the one who corners the market? What would the lowest possible price of money be, then?

    Would you go Apple or Microsoft?

    Would you choose Mozilla or Windows?

    Would you choose Tesla or Nissan?

    Would you settle for DOOM DAY, the perpetual business cycle, perpetual wars of aggression for profit, and the goon demanding protection money?

    "
    I would not rule out it would develop into a runaway inflation. It's possible. "

    People, people, people, come on, really?

    Once a monopoly on money is in force there will be booms and busts, that is how power transfer from those who create power to those who steal power by creating and maintaining The Business Cycle.

    Prices go up, on schedule, but not a schedule that is known by everyone, only a few can know the true schedule, otherwise it would not work as planned.

    Once prices are reaching the peak, the people who control the money supply know when to sell off everything that is over-priced as a direct result of where the new money was sent, housing for example, the people creating and then spending that created money know which products are bubbled up, which things are over-priced, and therefore which things are sold off at the highest price near the peak of the BOOM side of the business cycle. Then money is taken out of circulation by some means, and there are many ways to accomplish a reduction in the money supply, making money scarce to this sector or that sector of the economy, a freeze on home loans for example, an increase in reserve requirements, an increase in the prime rate, Gary North is a good source for such methods of manipulating the money supply.

    Liar Loans cause a BOOM in Real Estate, and then a policy change causes a crash in Real Estate - for example.

    Who knows when the next BOOM will occur?

    What was said in the REAL NEWS report?

    "
    I would not rule out it would develop into a runaway inflation. It's possible. "

    Those are code words. What do those words mean? Those words mean specific things. Currently the supply of dollars has doubled, but that new supply of dollars is not flowing through the American economy.

    Early 2008 the dollar supply was X
    Late 2008 the dollar supply was 2X

    Where is that new money?

    Where will that new money go?

    What will that new money buy?

    Why was that new money created?

    Why will the new money buy the things that the new money will buy?

    "
    I would not rule out it would develop into a runaway inflation. It's possible. "

    That is like saying:

    I would not rule out the sun appearing again tomorrow. It's possible.

    Once that money is spent the value of the dollar will drop to roughly half of the value of the dollar before the supply doubled in 2008 unless the new money isn't spent. If the new money just sits in the bank, never being spent, the money supply remains at X - not 2X.

    If these people have the power to increase the total units of dollars by double, then they have the power to decrease the total units of dollars by half. They can keep half of the supply in their banks and cut off the flow to all but whomever they want to have the half of the supply they want people to have, and the effect of cutting the total supply of dollar units by half will roughly be an increase in the value of the dollar by double - confusingly called "deflation" because the result is lower prices.

    1. Dollar supply is cut in half

    2. Dollar value eventually doubles (once people understand that dollars are now scarce compared to when twice as many dollars were circulating)

    3. Prices drop, or deflate, because the dollar value doubles

    4. This isn't the first time this has ever happened, it is on a cycle, a schedule, and it is done on purpose by the people who have control over the total number of dollars, because they own the monopoly, because competition is against the law, just like discussion is effectively against the law. Obey. Be afraid. Pay.

    The cart is pulling the horse when the workers are not allowed to make their own money, finance their own mines, or discuss important things using meaningful language.

    Legal crime, for example, exists. Why does it not have a name?

    Warmup State of the Union

    I started and stopped at the following quote:

    "...hold a good deal of the surplus in the global economy..."

    Please understand that political economy is a result of the creation of surplus.

    A. no surplus
    B. no political economy

    If surplus does not exist there can be no political economy, and to see this important factor it may help to employ some historical examples.

    My favorite example of how there can be no political economy if there is not surplus is the boat ride made by Captain William Bligh after Bligh was forced off The Bounty by the mutineers.

    Example:
    The book Men Against the Sea chronicles the hardships that these men faced. As corroborated by Great Britain’s National Maritime Museum website, Bligh allowed each man twelve ounces of water and about two ounces of bread each day, with an occasional spoonful of rum or wine. He meticulously measured these out so that all were treated equally. Even these small amounts were later cut by a third. In addition to rationing their existing food and water, they caught sea birds out of the air and ate their raw flesh to supplement their meager provisions.

    That is a case where surplus does exist; therefore political economy can exist.

    It is important to know where the surplus is, what form the surplus is in, how much surplus there is, how much of the surplus is needed for mere survival, and how the surplus can be used to gain access to more surplus, assuming that there is enough surplus over and above the surplus required for mere survival.

    In conditions of abundance, who needs leadership?

    What is the demand for leadership during conditions of abundance?

    It may help to know the motive behind the demand for leadership during conditions of abundance, since the demand isn't such that the people demanding leadership are satisfied with their slice of the pie.

    I have plenty. When I need more, I can find ways to get more, and at that time I seek help in any way I can to find leadership guiding me toward that which I need or desire.

    I don't vote. What would be the point?

    If there were a box on the ballot that said:

    GAME OVER RESET

    I'd vote every chance I had to vote, city, state, national, or global.

    I even started such a vote myself:

    No More Legal Criminals Petition

    The idea didn't catch on, quite short of going viral. I thought I set the time duration to infinity, but the petition is now closed. I'll re-open it on my own site - because I still have that much power.

    No More Legal Criminals - Please

    Someone who has read Norm Chomsky's work, or Gore Vidal's work, or Eric Fromm's work, someone signing onto those perspectives, like me, more or less, have a near opposite viewpoint from what can be called "the herd", unkindly put, but arguably justified, is someone, like me, with a perspective that..., being opposite the herd, does not give credit to Obama, for doing good things, or even caring to do good things, good things are not on his agenda.

    Good intentions cover up the truth, good intentions are lies.

    How do you know when a politician is lying?

    Well, the truth can be funny, ask a Russian who lived through their political leadership economic woes.

    Example

    Everybody is 8 months pregnant.

    Read Solzhenitsyn if you prefer a more serious example.

    My guess at what the true State of the Union, my own warm-up, is such that there will be some half truths reported by the leader of the legal crime ring known as U.S.A. Inc. LLC.

    The surplus power available to them, at U.S.A. Inc. LLC, is under attack by the force of competition, and they know it, and therefore there will be legal crime maneuvering such as can be exemplified by one Warren Buffett

    Someone else may perceive the current state of the Union from a less critically moral viewpoint.

    My suggestion is to look HERE HERE and HERE if you truly care enough to test the validity of your viewpoint relative to mine.

    The corporate raiders are raiding U.S.A. Inc. LLC, and they are moving onto Asia.

    That is the state of the Union.

    I can explain in great detail.

    The Union itself is a confidence scheme, one perpetrated by people such as Robert Morris and Alexander Hamilton as those two and others set about their plans to take over the political economy of America. The people calling themselves Federalists were not Federalists, they were Nationalists, and they created U.S.A. Inc. LLC with their fraudulent Law known, affectionately by them, as The US Constitution.

    Back then there were many people who knew the truth, knew that the Law known as the US Constitution was a fraud, perpetrated by Nationalists hiding behind the false front of Federalism, and they fought against that fraud.

    Patric Henry for example, pulled back the curtain of lies, and exposed the evil within, to no avail, the best that the fighters against false "federalism" could do was a law called: The Bill of Rights - an empty veil itself.

    That is the sad truth; while optimism remains because, it seems, that the legal criminals, the parasites , legal criminals, are moving on.

    That, my friends, could lead to a political vacuum, and a wiser person that I could warn us as to what the legal criminals prefer to have in place here, as they leave here, and as that vacuum sucks in place that which will fill that vacuum.

    I'm going to return to the REAL news story.

    Another angle

    Although not supported by protestors (no doubt placing him under house arrest will give him a boost), ElBaradei's return to Egypt enables the American politicians to speak from both sides of their mouths -- supporting the protestors' rights while supporting their ally. How could they go wrong? The thought process in this country (and elsewhere) has been guided and controlled by mainstream media and pundits, many of them neoconservatives. Curiously, the 24-7 media and its pundits have steered clear of ElBaradei and his arrest.

    Has anyone ever seen a parent threatening a child once, twice, three, four times and as an observer you begin to understand exactly what the child is being taught, how the child is being conditioned to respond, and then it dawns on you that the child is the one doing the teaching, the child is conditioning the parent to act as the child demands, anyone?

    Power play in oil country

    Oil Power Struggle

    I stopped reading at the following quote:

    In reality there is no evidence to suggest that change brought about by people power in Arab states would lead inevitably to rule by, or even popular support for, extremist and violent forces which use and abuse Islam in much the same way as Zionists use and abuse Judaism. From Tunisia and Eygpt in particular there is a great deal of evidence to the contrary (but as I will indicate later, everything will ultimately depend on whether or not policy makers in Washington D.C. put America on the right side of history).

    My error. I read further, to this point:

    If Arab push came to American shove, Arab leverage options include withdrawing ambassadors from America; stopping assistance for propping up America’s ailing economy; and a credible threat to use the oil weapon. (As I have written in the past, the Arabs would not have to turn off the oil taps. A credible, behind-closed-doors threat to do would be enough. As I have also written in the past, if the boot was on the other foot – if the Zionists were in the Arab position, they would have played the oil card long, long ago).

    That writer doesn't see the power struggle accurately, it seems to me, and I can explain my version in my own words.

    Zionists have the power they must have in order to get away with torture and mass murder. This is a documented fact, a measurable reality, all anyone has to do, if they want to measure the truth of this fact, is to count the tortured bodies, and then follow the money trail from each tortured or murdered body back to the person or person's who set those tortures and those murders in motion, who ordered the tortures, and who ordered the murders, once that is done the proof stands, stinking, just like the tortured and murdered bodies stink to high heaven, rotting, decomposing, as they are bulldozed into mass graves.

    One tortured body is sufficient to prove the facts, if anyone wanted to prove the facts, and one murdered body investigated accurately proves the same facts, and yet there are thousands of tortured and murdered bodies left unjustified, excused, apologized for, covered up, and criminalized by the supposed people who are responsible for such mass torture and mass murder.

    Zionists are people who plan on and then follow through with the plan to torture and  mass murder anyone presenting an obstacle in their way as they accomplish their stated goals - they leave a paper trail.

    If readers don't want to know the truth, they can certainly figure out how to avoid it.

    Zionists have access to the power that can be called The Dollar Hegemony, and from that power Zionists finance their march toward their stated goal as they torture and mass murder the obstacles, human beings, babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, men, women, old men, old women, and other residents living on the lands that are coveted, and sought after, by the Zionists, according to the Zionists, the specific Zionists who plan on and then follow through with the plan, to occupy the occupied territories.

    A. Powerless Zionists seeking ownership of land occupied by the occupants

    B. The Dollar Hegemony

    When Zionists gain access to The Dollar Hegemony the plan follows through as planned and the bodies pile up.

    Don't follow the money, don't follow the paper trail, and you can thereby avoid the truth, and you can continue to be in the dark - ages.

    The Dollar Hegemony needs control over the oil so as to maintain control over that which is known as The Global Reserve Currency.

    The Chinese are taking over The Global Reserve Currency.

    The actual people who will control The Global Reserve Currency will actually be the most powerful people alive, again the facts, and finding the actual names of those people can be something just done, or undone, as the case may be.

    That leads to the question of what The People who occupy land that happens to be oil land will do with the oil if The People regain control of it.

    There are precedences, past cases, by which a future reality could be accurately estimated.

    Example A:

    Mosaddegh

    The People sell the oil and The People collect surplus wealth in the form of money or purchasing power, and then The People invest in things with that new source of power.

    Why would The People threaten to cut off oil to American consumers in the event of The People regaining control of their political power in Egypt?

    The quote in question:

    If Arab push came to American shove, Arab leverage options include withdrawing ambassadors from America; stopping assistance for propping up America’s ailing economy; and a credible threat to use the oil weapon. (As I have written in the past, the Arabs would not have to turn off the oil taps. A credible, behind-closed-doors threat to do would be enough. As I have also written in the past, if the boot was on the other foot – if the Zionists were in the Arab position, they would have played the oil card long, long ago).

    What does that writer mean when that writer uses the word Arab?

    Does he mean the Arab people or does he mean The Dollar Hegemony employed Arab leaders?

    Oil profits go to The Dollar Hegemony, and The Dollar Hegemony invests that power to purchase, with dollars, to employ puppet regimes over places where oil can be pumped out of the ground.

    Puppet regimes can also be Arab.

    1. Arab people
    2. Arab puppet regimes exploiting A

    I will re-read up to that quote and offer comment following that process while seeking an answer to the question concerning which meaning does the writer attach to the word Arab in context within his writing up to that quote.

    If change brings Arab governments which must and do reflect the wishes of their peoples, those governments will be under great and perhaps irresistible pressure to use their leverage in a serious effort to oblige the U.S. to use its leverage to cause Israel to end its occupation of all Arab land grabbed in 1967.

    If Arab push came to American shove, Arab leverage options include withdrawing ambassadors from America; stopping assistance for propping up America’s ailing economy; and a credible threat to use the oil weapon. (As I have written in the past, the Arabs would not have to turn off the oil taps. A credible, behind-closed-doors threat to do would be enough. As I have also written in the past, if the boot was on the other foot – if the Zionists were in the Arab position, they would have played the oil card long, long ago).


    I don't think such things. Why would anyone threaten anyone ever? What would be the point? Why would The Arabian People, Arabs, threaten to cut off their nose to spite their faces? If they gain power by selling oil then it makes no sense to threaten someone with the threat of no longer selling oil, which amounts to no longer gaining power.

    A. If you don't do what I tell you, I'm going to make myself weaker, I'll do it, don't make me do it, you better do what I say, if you don't, I'll make myself weaker.

    B. I will sell more of my oil to China at a greater discount, and I will sell less of my oil to U.S.A. Inc. LLC The Dollar Hegemony, at a much higher price.

    What will U.S.A. Inc. LLC The Dollar Hegemony do then: buy oil from Hugo Chavez?

    Example A:

    Mosaddegh

    Example B:

    Hugo Chavez

    Example C:

    A Dollar Hegemony employee blows the whistle

    Zionists left holding the bag, as power flows from U.S.A. Inc. LLC The Dollar Hegemony to whomever or whatever gains The World Reserve Currency Status Power thing may be akin to cornering a desperate mass murderer leaving one option.

    Zionists have a Doom Day Button, once pushed, Hitler's Nazi's pale on the scale of evil, ever forgotten as a foot note in history.

    Compassion for a person, Jew, Gypsy, Pole, whomever, tortured by the Nazi torturing mass murderers is not different that compassion for a person, Palestinian, Arab, Taxi driver, whomever, tortured by The Dollar Hegemony or Zionist torturing mass murderers.

    The worst of the evil examples of human garbage behind The Dollar Hegemony are probably hedging their bets and moving operations, as best they can, to China, while the worst of the evil examples of human garbage behind Zionist "land grabbing" (a euphemism for Wars of Aggression for Profit) are what: a wild card?

    Human beings just recently gained the power to end the human species at the push of a button, it may be a good idea not to forget that fact.

    The writer of the report on the situation in Egypt concludes:

    The right side would see America using its leverage to oblige Israel to end its occupation. This would open the door to a real peace process (actually the first ever) and create an environment in which there would be no place for Muslim extremism.

    The wrong side would see America continuing with the policy of support for Israel right or wrong and being complicit in its defiance of international law and war crimes. This would open the door to the forces of violent Islamic fundamentalism and set in motion a confrontation that could go all the way to a clash of civilizations.

    Which option will America choose if crunch time comes?


    America, as far as I know, and I live here, is a place where American people have absolutely no control over The Dollar Hegemony.

    I know this because I ran for congress and I learned, first hand, how much control a person living in America has over The Dollar Hegemony - none.

    I know this because I hand delivered a legal notice, Redress of Grievances, to the current "Member of the House" and that legal criminal illegally failed to respond to that legal notice.

    Which America does the writer intend to point at, to accurately identify, and to accurately communicate to the reader, when the writer uses the word America?

    A. The legal criminals running U.S.A. Inc. LLC The Dollar Hegemony

    B. The People living in America

    In context:

    Which option will America choose if crunch time comes? 

    If the supply of oil is cut off, then Americans can afford to invest in solar powered transportation, and vertical farming if needed, and American can boom the American economy on those new markets alone.

    A. Oil Doom Day
    B. WWIII, the last one.

    Oil doom day is only bad for those people who have no way out of that doom day, people who are incapable of adaptation, people whose whole lives are invested in that single, myopic, power.

    Arab people, like everyone else, are only dependent upon oil power up to the point at which oil power becomes obsolete, too expensive compared to the competition, and currently the competition is 80% less expensive.

    All one has to do to see, is desire vision, because that which can be seen is in plane sight, easy to see, in the light, out in the open, and not covered by any shadow whatsoever.

    The trick is to leave the target audience at once shivering in horror at a spectacle of sub-human depravity, panting with a visceral desire for vengeance, and rapturously self-righteous about the purity of its humane motives. People who succumb to it are easily subsumed into a hive mind of officially sanctioned hatred, and prepared to perpetrate crimes even more hideous than those that they believe typify the enemy.

    While here

    While there I found this:

    The End of America 3

    Why would someone smart, supposedly, claim the following:

    But like many government plans, this one had terrible, unintended consequences.
    That report has many obvious facts reported. Why does the report then wander off into falsehood?

    Example:
    There are other disastrous consequences to the U.S. dollar losing status as the world's currency.... For example: There would be much less demand for U.S. dollars around the globe, so interest rates will skyrocket.
    Why?

    The people who control the supply of U.S. dollars, The people running The FED, set the interest rate they charge to anyone they transfer the dollars they create to, and they can set the interest rate to a negative number if they want.

    Example:

    Worgle Stamp Script

    Money as a medium of exchange increasingly vanished out of working people’s hands and accumulates into the hands of the few who collect interest and do not return it back to the market.
    Michael Unterguggenberger knew better, the velocity of money had increased and his Worgl money was working.
    Does anyone know what a litmus test is?

    A person who claims that the result of less demand for U.S. money will be increased interest rates is a person who shows his, or her, true color, because that is a litmus test.

    Prices go up because the people in government make sure that the laws that are enforced are the laws that make sure that prices go up - not an unintended consequence.

    An analogy would be someone saying that the people in government tried to spread democracy to the people in Vietnam, and the unintended consequence was a whole lot of dead people.

    When the people in government order bombs dropped on people, the intention is to kill people.

    When the people in government want to make sure that the bust cycle remains busted they make sure that money does not circulate to the people who create wealth.

    Interest (historically known as usury) is a legal device by which the people who legally have money (subsidy or welfare paid to The FED) are able to collect even more money by charging "borrowers" for the "privilege" of using money.

    Another high-profile American terrorist who has been named by Iran's Parliament (Majlis) is Thomas J. Pickard, the director of FBI in 2001, who played a major role in the violent massacre of the members of Davidian branch on April 19, 1993.

    On February 28, 1993, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives attempted to execute a search warrant at the Branch Davidian branch at Mount Carmel, located 9 miles east-northwest of Waco, Texas. As the ATF failed to execute the search warrant, a siege was implemented by FBI which lasted 50 days and finally ended with an incursion into the Davidians' compound which claimed the lives of 74 members of this sect including 20 children, two pregnant women and the sect leader David Koresh.

    This massacre became a stigma in the history of FBI and now it's time for its perpetrators to be held accountable for what they committed 18 years ago.

    Chaves mentions Eric Fromm

    A necessary digression: it is frankly abusive to confuse Zionism with Judaism. Throughout time we have been reminded of this by several Jewish intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Erich Fromm. And today there are an ever increasing number of conscientious citizens, within Israel itself, who openly oppose Zionism and its criminal and terrorist practices.
    Fromm is not a popular spokesperson for liberty.

By a long shot, not enough to in any way to hamper control over how they feel about themselves, and their perception of reality.

    Part ONE of Congressman McFadden's Speech before the attempts on his life
     and the final successful one resulting in his murder......
     The text is from a booklet, published before zip codes, entitled
    "Congressman Louis T. McFadden on the Federal Reserve Corporation: Remarks
    in Congress, 1934" . It is merger of two different speeches, one in 1932 and
    another, given after FDR became president. It was released by The Forum
    Publishing Company of Boston, Massachusetts. Facsimile or Text of the
    original 1932 speech from the Congressional Record
     On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges
    against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The
    Comptroller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for
    numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD,
    UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON.
     The petition for Articles of Impeachments thereafter referred to the
    Judiciary Committee and has YET TO BE ACTED ON.  So, this ELECTRONIC BOOKLET
    should be reprinted, re-posted, set up on web pages and circulated far and
    wide.

    bear,

    Thanks for the help.

    I was out of the house after posting things, and making a deal with my daughter, if she helps clean up the kitchen and bathroom we can then have time for her to learn how to drive a stick shift, which is a car that we are transporting to my niece. So...I didn't have time to finish listening to the link with Chomsky Gore Vidal.

    I did not get what was meant with the Black Mail, fully, and now I see a need to actually work on it.

    I think both Chomsky and Vidal are probably not going to blow the whistle on the One Legal Money Monopoly, as they may not agree that it exists as a homogenous entity (list of people). I think they believe that the Nation States are as far up the pyramid of power that power goes, no higher, no power that pulls the strings of the Nation States (lists of names).

    Gore Vidal says that failure of Japan (and he does not say China) to pay the extortion fee (which is to buy Treasury Bonds) will be punished with higher oil prices (reduced supply), which to me makes sense as Scarceonomics.

    We ran into difficulty on Scareonomics (as I see it) on The Daily Paul.

    You see no problem with pricing at "that which the market will bear" and I do, but the scale of the market in question may be the problem we have, not being able to recognize the principle.

    I don't know.

    I will listen to part 3 now to see if I can find this:

    Chomsky says he does not entirely agree with Gore's Blackmail statement and goes on to elaborate and explains that the profits made by the client states are the and the flow of capital back to the United States and Britian.
    There, in your words, to me is the connection to the source of actual POWER which is the oil.

    So I don't know what can be wrong with Gore Vidal's statement. The Dollar Hegemony, Wall Street, New World Order, Washington, The FUND, World Bank, United Nations, International Monetary FUND, whatever, it is Federal Reserve Notes for now, that list of names, those people who have that POWER, those dollars, those people, as Chomsky and Gore Vidal say "us" or "we", that list of people, have control of the POWER, the oil, the POWER over oil, and they can turn off the supply, or turn the supply back on, and if anyone does not follow orders, which amounts to absolute blind obedience to falsehood without question, then those competitors will be turned, co-opted, incorporated, robbed, raided, raped, tortured, crushed, and in any which way rendered power-less, so how is that not blackmail in a literal not a figurative sense?

    Extortion - Blackmail: which word is more accurate if the idea is to convey the reality of the events from one person to another so as to avoid any failures to know better as to what exactly it is that is happening?

    I will listen to the link now.

    I don't know what was controversial as far as Chomsky saying that he does not agree with blackmail. Not the oil, but the profits, to me is a confusion of accurately identifying the greater power that dominates the lesser power, which in this case is the power to create zeros on the legal Monopoly Money Supply, and that power, whichever person, or group, has that power, is the person, or group, that has the power over everyone else, and that is not oil power, not profits, it is not confusing in the least, it is the power of falsehood.

    It is the power of deception.

    People, too many people, believe that there are no other options other than the one money.

    The one fraud money, those list of people who can write those checks, orchestrate all those purchases, and there are money trails, and all that is needed is to follow the one money back to the source, to find those who are buying obedience, call it fraud, call it extortion, call it blackmail, call it profits, call it anything, it is what it is, does what it does, and the proof that it is ONE MONOPOLY POWER is that the quality of the supply of money is not going up, and the cost of the supply of money is not going down, and that happens when there is no competition where any consumer, anywhere, can pick better for worse, and then anther consumer picks better for worse, and then another, and then another, and all those choices from all those consumers constitutes the FORCE that dictates to the many suppliers what the many suppliers have to supply to the consumers or go out of business, or, resort to crime.

    I think Chomsky and Gore Vidal are wrong in not pointing the finger at the One Money Monopoly Power, it is "The Empire", and these "Nation States" are the diversions, they are controlled by the One Money Monopoly Power, and the proof, again, demonstrable, irrefutable, proof is the fact that the "Host" Nation has marginally better money than the "Client" Nations.

    If Utah, and 11 other States in America, use the power in those States to make more power out of less power, and avoid having their power stolen, and used against them, then they will invent, produce, and maintain a competitive money supply, and if they are Federated into a mutual defensive force, a voluntary "Union", then that would be a better money supply, in direct competition with The Dollar (which is being destroyed on purpose) AND that Federation, with that better money, would be in direct competition with the new World Reserve Currency Power that will emerge out of Asia after the World Money Fraud Power buys, and finishes, and cleans up after, their purchase which is World War III.

    If that new Federation then competes with all the other States in the involuntary monopoly Union, all those citizens in the slave states will either migrate, vote with their feet, to the prosperous States, or they will Revolutionize their own States, join the Voluntary Union, or be crushed under the DEBT that will be collected by the new World Money Monopoly Power being run out of Asia, as they hire puppets in U.S.A. Inc. (LLC).

    If that is not true, I'd like to know why, but who on this planet can tell me why that is not true?

    http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/people-new-jersey

    On Tuesday, under pressure from the New Jersey auto dealer lobby to protect its monopoly, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, composed of political appointees of the Governor, ended your right to purchase vehicles at a manufacturer store within the state. Governor Christie had promised that this would be put to a vote of the elected state legislature, which is the appropriate way to change the law. When it became apparent to the auto dealer lobby that this approach would not succeed, they cut a backroom deal with the Governor to circumvent the legislative process and pass a regulation that is fundamentally contrary to the intent of the law.

    Three links for the Big Picture

    The first is the Open Source (free markets) Picture:

    http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/jun/19/open-source-revolution-conquer-one-percent-cia-spy

    So what exactly do you mean by open source everything? "We have over 5 billion human brains that are the one infinite resource available to us going forward. Crowd-sourcing and cognitive surplus are two terms of art for the changing power dynamic between those at the top that are ignorant and corrupt, and those across the bottom that are attentive and ethical. The open source ecology is made up of a wide range of opens – open farm technology, open source software, open hardware, open networks, open money, open small business technology, open patents – to name just a few. The key point is that they must all develop together, otherwise the existing system will isolate them into ineffectiveness. Open data is largely worthless unless you have open hardware and open software. Open government demands open cloud and open spectrum, or money will dominate feeds and speeds.
    Next is the Closed Source (crime monopoly made legal):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbGypiDik2E

    That is gaining currency fast considering how the information began some time ago and was not gaining currency much, but now it is taking off in a big way.

    The original idea was invented thousands of years ago, and it was kept as a trade secret, whereby the foundational idea is merely crime, it is merely crime.

    Here is one version:
    http://www.usa-the-republic.com/items%20of%20interest/trial_by_jury/trial03b.html#p86

    The king, so far from being invested with arbitrary power, was only considered as the first among the citizens; his authority depended more on his personal qualities than on his station; he was even so far on a level with the people, that a stated price was fixed for his head, and a legal fine was levied upon his murderer, which though proportionate to his station, and superior to that paid for the life of a subject, was a sensible mark of his subordination to the community." - 1 Hume, Appendix, l.


    That quote about the bounty on the king may not at first sound like Assassination Markets but the same stuff happens in the world of crime. There is power invested in causing specific things to happen a specific way and there is no coincidence that power flows from victims to criminals each time.

    Put options, selling short, these are things of the same character. Investments are made and that movement of purchasing power is the CAUSE not the EFFECT of the things that happen, such as a dead king, and then a fine payed, and then other things less overt happen behind closed doors, where secret meetings take place, and the flow of power flows precisely as desired, precisely the power flows according to the design of those who make the initial investment.

    Now to the third link:

    http://www.abeldanger.net/p/videos.html

    I can also link text information instead of the video information above:

    http://www.abeldanger.net/

    Quoting
    Okay, everyone, baby steps at first. Being on autopilot in cruise is not newsworthy, ALL airliners are on autopilot when in cruise configuration. Who will be the first news outlet to use the entire title that will solve this mess UNINTERRUPTIBLE? Civil Case 1:08-1600 (RMC) was filed in September, 2008. The subject of the lawsuit was the BOEING UNINTERRUPTIBLE AUTOPILOT. That suit was timed after Adam Air 574 and Kenya Airways 507 were hull loss incidents involving UNINTERRUPTIBLE autopilots.

    More important are the three that occurred after the Lawsuit was in play: Air France 447, Sukhoi Superjet Demo jet Indonesia May 2012, and MH370. With the first four they were HULL LOSS incidents as they were all 4 destroyed. With MH370 it was a LOST HULL incident because Australia, Malaysia, Serco and others would have the gullible sheep believe a B777 can be lost, vanish without a trace. It is most probable that the jet landed safely at FJDG at 0651 Kuala Lumpur time on 8 March.
     
    Finally my latest summation:
    http://www.dailypaul.com/comment/3435014

    From the viewpoint of a criminal there is a simple solution to their problems.

    When people refuse to be victims the criminals find ways to fool the victims into asking for the opportunity to become a victim.

    That is one way to look at the law, outlaw, conflict.

    When people refuse to be victims the criminals are then faced with a serious problem called defense of the victims.

    When government is understood to be the effective defense of the victims then laws are those methods by which the victims are effectively defended from the criminals.

    That means that anyone who does not volunteer to be a criminal is inside the law.

    That means that anyone who volunteers to be a criminal is outside the law.

    That means that the criminals have figured out a very simple solution to the law problem.

    The criminals create counterfeit law, and then when the victims are seeking a way to defend against the criminals the victims are then fooled into paying the criminals for the opportunity to be victims while the victims think they are paying the defenders for defense against the criminals.

    http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/ju...

    There is a link to the simple solution to the problem facing everyone (including the criminals) on this planet because the criminals have taken over and they are destroying everything very fast.

    So the simple solution is to replace the counterfeit government with many competitive opportunities for victims to find the highest quality and lowest cost effective defense against the criminals inside or outside counterfeit government.


    AND:
    http://www.dailypaul.com/comment/3435247

    Opposite of moral defense of the victims through free markets gained in breaking down all costs of connecting into markets is the following:
    http://rt.com/news/bitcoin-assassination-market-anarchist-983/

    Some time ago the concept was invented by someone named Jim Bell and his Essay called Assassination Politics earned Jim Bell some prison time.

    http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/jimbellap.htm

    The practice of "selling-short" or "put options" or criminally manipulating markets is the oldest profession but the Essay by Jim Bell connected the oldest profession to the newest measure of connectivity.

    The criminals depend upon a ready supply of victims sufficient to keep the criminals satisfied with working on, dividing up, and extracting life from that scarce supply. When everyone becomes a criminal, there are no more victims, and so this connectivity, this OPEN SOURCE, this market anarchy, where no one is priced out of the market, ends the "crime pays well" problem two ways:

    1.
    Those who will not volunteer to be criminals and prefer not to be victims can do both; which means there are less and less victims feeding the criminal profits.

    2.
    Those who will volunteer to be criminals can chop the top off of the criminal pyramid with collective power through open source access.

    So the moral defense is no longer scarce, no longer made scarce by the criminals who take over governments, so the cost of defense reduces to a practical minimum; an open source, free market, moral government affordable to everyone without exception.

    At the same time there is open source markets connecting the criminals to the criminals as a function of collective power whereby a vote, or investment, of the criminals seeking to get rid of the competition, get rid of the more powerful criminals at the top, is also affordable to all the criminals.

    Therefore the criminals have a steady decline in the supply of ready victims while their ability to defend against other criminals increases at roughly the inverse rate.
    Does that make sense to you?

    I think in the information about China there is the obvious demand for World War III (so as to destroy all competitors to a level lower than China) and the lack of power to do so hopefully.

    A report on current currency concerns.

    http://www.internationalman.com/articles/ditching-the-dollar

    Apparently not. On 2nd November 2014, Brazil and Uruguay, who have traditionally used the dollar for bilateral trade, decided to switch from the dollar to the Brazilian real and the Uruguayan peso. Carlos Francisco Teixeira da Silva, Professor of International Relations at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro described the move as "the best opportunity for the countries of South America to get rid of the old mechanisms of economic regulations dictated by the United States."

    I left comments here:
    http://www.dailypaul.com/331952/brics-ditching-the-dollar#comment-3546381

    Anyone who has studied organized crime under the color of law, or call it Fascism if you prefer, will, eventually, understand how that type of structure works.

    One most powerful individual commands dictatorially. Either the subject obey without question or the subjects are eliminated. That is the criminal order that criminals obey without question.

    The one at the top makes up any other rules as he or she pleases.

    Variations on rules concerning who is on top depend upon individuals who are not yet on top.

    Standard procedure for criminals are three:

    1. Deceive
    2. Threaten with aggressive violence, or combine 1 and 2 and threaten with aggressive violence covered up with a false claim of defense.
    3. Aggressive violence; which is precisely what it is as subjects are torn to pieces.

    If someone says Russia is a Major Power then someone may suggest that the Top of that Major Power is an individual, such as this fellow names Putin.

    Who actually runs Russia, and is it another organized crime cabal?

    How does one know if it is, or is not, just another organized crime cabal?

    Does the one at the top have dictatorial powers?

    If the answer is demonstrably no, then that one is not one who is on the Top of just another organized crime cabal, with or without the color of law, or false authority, or pretense of true authority.

    If the actual people commanding the so called West, with their power to destroy smaller Nations through overt, and covert, criminal acts, are known, known by their actions, then who is, in fact, the one at the Top of that organized crime cabal under the color of law?

    Is it a good idea, or is it not a good idea, to paint a target on your back that says, hey, you found me, I'm the one currently issuing the worst criminal orders ever to be issued in the history of man?

    The answer is no.

    Those at the top have already implemented the plans to take over every other place where people exist and therefore people can be subjected to criminal injury by these fellows with their criminal orders that they obey without question.

    Is it a good idea, or is it not a good idea, to publicize the fact that great costs are consumed, large amounts of stolen earnings are spent, so as to infiltrate, and control, people in every single place on Earth whereby an expected return on the investment is warranted?

    The answer is no.

    Those in power know when their game is up, so they know when to move before those in lesser power are left holding the empty bag.

    Those in power destroy nations one at a time on a cycle of their exclusive schedule.

    That was made clear most recently with the example now known as World War II.

    Oddly enough those in power do let the subject in on their game plans, covertly, or "hidden in plain sight," as the saying goes.

    Look into a book called 1984, written by an insider, so called.

    Then look into a study done by a whistle blower named Anthony Sutton.

    Who was in command of so called World Reserve Currency Power before Wall Street (World Bank/International Monetary FUND/Federal Reserve/IRS/Military Industrial Complex/Big Oil/Big Pharma/Big Agg/To Big to Fail) took over the World Reserve Currency POWER?

    England.

    The Bank of England.

    Before the current Dominant POWER existed, before the current Dominant POWER was created, the current Dominant POWER was England, so called, but there were people, with names, who wear clothes, thinking, acting, issuing criminal orders to be obeyed without question, then, as now.

    World War II was the official end of Dominance by England as the English Empire was burned out by those in command of it, and they moved operations to America, and they did so in a BIG WAY on purpose.

    No large numbers of people bound by the idea of true law in Liberty can be allowed to exist on this planet for if it were to exist then the criminal organizations would soon cease to be more powerful than the people defending against criminal organizations operating under the color of law.

    If you don't get this straight then you will suffer a repeat that repeats generationally, meaning it repeats on a cycle that is dictated by criminals who hand the reigns of power to their progeny knowing that the cycle must proceed at a rate that keeps the subject divided, deceived, unaware, and that has worked in a time frame that is roughly 100 years, and roughly 3 major players.

    Thesis, Anti-Thesis, and Synthesis.

    Nazi Party, Bolshevik Communist Party, New Deal Party (pick a name, any name will do, so long as the name covers up effectively the crimes perpetrated by the criminals who have names)

    Oceana, Urasia, and Eastasia.

    1.
    The Dollar Hegemony (Wall Street, UN, USA Inc, IRS/Federal Reserve, IMF/World Bank, New World Order, Illuminati, pick a name)

    2.
    BRICS

    3.
    To be announced when the time is ripe.

    Will the new War Debt Collectors running their black robed criminals who obey orders without question for their piece of the action be announced after World War III, which is already over 10 years running, or will the people finally end the crime spree and free market government, and free banking markets, take over once and for all?

    From Infowars Prison Planet

    http://www.infowars.com/newsletter-content/


    The juror’s power of the verdict grants him complete authority over the law and thus the ability to keep the government bound to the limits of the Constitution. The juror can simply stop the enforcement of unconstitutional laws in two ways:

    1) As a grand juror, you may refuse the government’s request to pursue criminal charges against the accused.

    2) As a trial juror, you can acquit the defendant who is charged with breaking an unconstitutional law.

    Either way, the juror has the power to say “no,” thus having an immediate and direct effect on our government.

    Alex Jones: "How do you shut down..."

    Steve Pieczenik: "It's easy, you reverse engineer how you created it. That was created by Al Qaeda and Isis, it was created by the CIA. I got to Tenet. I got the guys who created it. I do the interrogation. Then I find out who was involved. I'll find out where the money track comes from in Saudi Arabia, and Israel; Jordan, UAE, and Dubai, it's not hard. You don't' fight an enemy that you don't need to fight and was created by us."

    "You don't go overseas when you can go home, and I can go right through the CIA and pull out every person who was involved, go right through the Saudi Intelligence, go through Mossad, and I can get you every person involved, in the Neo-cons, and 911, and put them in trial."

    This is the stuff that pulls aside the veil of deception concerning world events where violence is routinely justified as a solution to a problem, If people, like Steve Pieczenik (20 years in U.S. Intelligence through 4 Presidential Administrations?) rightly identifies the POWER of accurate information, so as to place individuals who are responsible for extreme violence (suspected criminals suspected of mass murder and other crimes), in time, placed in place, for their individual responsibility, so as to account for who knew what, when, where, who did what, when, and where, so as to then unravel, take-apart, the creations of criminal organizations within the boundaries of these United States of America: doing so while employing Rule of Law, due process, where the principle driving the effort is to discover and employ the truth, or the facts, and then submit those accurately accounted facts to the whole country represented in a jury: trial by the country. Why is that not easy to see?

    The stock market would react immediately with unprecedented movement of capital out of the oil, coal, and gas companies and into the new-energy developers. Imagine the effects on personal prosperity when people would no longer be enslaved to Big Oil and the petrochemical dominance of science. Imagine a world where fuel, heating and electricity bills would be a thing of the past.

    Power produced to oversupply reduces the price of power while purchasing power increases because power reduces the cost of producing power: say no to the falsehood called zero-sum game.

    “To overcome the excessive domination of the limited number of reserve currencies” is the politest way of stating what the BRICS have been discussing for years now; how to bypass the US dollar, as well as the petrodollar.

    Beijing is ready to step up the game. Soon China will launch a crude oil futures contract priced in yuan and convertible into gold.

    This means that Russia – as well as Iran, the other key node of Eurasia integration – may bypass US sanctions by trading energy in their own currencies, or in yuan. Inbuilt in the move is a true Chinese win-win; the yuan will be fully convertible into gold on both the Shanghai and Hong Kong exchanges.

    The new triad of oil, yuan and gold is actually a win-win-win. No problem at all if energy providers prefer to be paid in physical gold instead of yuan. The key message is the US dollar being bypassed.
