From The Files Of Absurdity, Volume CXLIV: Criminal Ben Bernanke Asks For "Help" To Save US Economy!

The United States of America is right now on the verge of complete and total economic collapse.  The nation is embroiled in an un-winnable war in Afghanistan, and is presently about to do as its masters in Tel Aviv command, and launch a new un-winnable war against Iran.  The unemployment rate in the US is above 20% and rising with no hope of recovery in sight.   People are losing their homes, and are now living in tent cities across that once great nation.  Manufacturing in the US was off-shored over the last few decades, and the result is the US no longer builds anything, other than weapons, that can be sold to other nations.


The main reason why the US is in such bad shape is due to the massive DEBT that has ballooned over the last few decades and is now out of control.  That Federal debt stands at above the reported 13.3 TRILLION dollars that the US Government still officially states, but the real debt is obviously in the Hundreds of trillion dollars range.   The Federal debt was created when the US sold its soul in 1913 to private criminal bankers, and allowed the creation of the "Federal Reserve" system for the printing of the nation's currency at INTEREST!.   The present chairman of this criminal Federal Reserve System is none other than a criminal himself, Ben Bernanke....


Which brings me to my latest file in my "Files Of Absurdity" series.  It seems that the chairman of the criminal Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke himself, according to this new article from www.guardian.co.uk, is actually having the audacity to ask for "help" from the US Government itself in saving the US economy!  This is absolutely outrageous, and here is that article for my own readers to ponder:

Ben Bernanke calls for help to revive the stuttering US economy

Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, says the Fed needs help to revive the US economy. But it won't get any

What did the chairman of the Federal Reserve say in Jackson Hole? According to much of the reaction, Ben Bernanke said the "Fed stands by to boost US growth" (FT), or that the "Fed is ready to prop up economy" (NYT) or even that the "Fed stands ready to support recovery" (WSJ).

In other news, a man was bitten by a dog. And by that I mean: the reverse would actually be news.

Yes, Bernanke said the Fed would act if the economic outlook deteriorated further, or if there were signs of deflation. He doesn't appear to think that either of those events are likely to occur, especially the deflation, but if they do, the Fed will do stuff. Which is exactly what you'd expect a modern central bank governor to say.

But what was missed was Bernanke's low-key plea for help - from the government.

Bernanke kicked off his Jackson Hole speech by detailing the problem the US faces, notably: "In many countries, including the United Statesand most other advanced industrial nations, growth during the past year has been too slow and joblessness remains too high."

He followed that by saying: "This list of concerns makes clear that a return to strong and stable economic growth will require appropriate and effective responses from economic policymakers across a wide spectrum, as well as from leaders in the private sector. Central bankers alone cannot solve the world's economic problems."

Now, appointed technocrats such as Fed chairmen have to avoid getting involved in politics. They can't come out and say "what the US economyreally needs is another fiscal stimulus passed by Congress", even if that's what they believe.

Americans, more than the citizens of other advanced economies, are particularly spooked by the prospect of unemployment because, as theFT's Martin Wolf observes, "jobs are, in the US, the only safety net for those of working age." So consumers react to economic uncertainty by cutting back on spending and saving money or paying off debt. Bernanke noted: "Households, collectively, are even more cautious about the economic outlook and their own prospects than we previously believed."

To combat this there's only so much that can be done by monetary policy, the part of the economy under Bernanke's domain. There's anold joke that relying on monetary policy to run an economy is like playing golf with only one club. The missing club is of course fiscal policy.

The White House and Democrats could exploit Bernanke's plea by pushing for further fiscal stimulus and allowing monetary and fiscal policy to work in tandem. Given the fervour of Republican opposition, the chances of Barack Obama passing another stimulus package worth serious money – in the hundreds of billions of dollars – are non-existent, despite the fact that the bond market's appetite for buying US Treasuries means it could be cheaply financed. And once the Republicans take control of the House and possibly Senate after the 2010 midterm elections in November, the chances are less than zero. So the Fed is going to have to do all the heavy lifting by itself.

There's little the Fed can do that it's not doing already about the central problem of the US economy: its housing market. Some 29% of all houses with mortgages in the US are "under water" – that is, the resale value is less than the outstanding mortgage. That's a dead weight around the economy's throat but US policymakers mistakenly believe that the housing market's distress is a symptom and not a cause.

Bernanke thinks the housing market will pick up, if prices fall far enough and credit remains easy, but the problem there is that a further fall in house prices drags more mortgages under water, and puts off the day when house building starts adding new jobs to the economy.

In the meantime, Bernanke's Fed doesn't have much powder left in its locker, with monetary policy already extraordinarily easy. Earlier this week Alan Blinder, a former Fed official and a very smart economist,outlined steps the Fed could still take – all of which Bernanke ticked off in his Jackson Hole speech.

"The bad news is that the Fed has already spent its most powerful ammunition, only the weak stuff is left," Blinder warned. And he's right.

Bernanke, though, is also right that a durable recovery is underway. The prospects of a "double dip" into a second recession are far fetched. Unemployment remains weak but the jobs market always lags behind the rest of the economy.

The only surprise is that the economy has not recovered more quickly, based on its revival from previous slumps. But that, I believe, is because of the housing market, which has never seen such a dramatic collapse in the course of US history. Fixing that needs the "appropriate and effective responses from economic policymakers" that Bernanke is asking for.

NTS Notes:  If this criminal wants help, then the American public should oblige him... Have him arrested immediately and put up on charges of fleecing the American public through the criminal private banking scheme called the Federal Reserve System itself.


It seems that the only way to help to save the US economy is for the Government to have the guts to end the debt immediately, end private banking printing of currency, and print their currency themselves debt and interest free.  However, considering how the criminals control the US Government itself, this will not happen unless the people themselves remove this criminal control, and those elected officials that are under that control,  from the US government!


I still cannot believe the nerve of this criminal in asking for help to save the economy that his own policies has destroyed.  It is beyond outrageous, and another sad chapter in my Files Of Absurdity indeed!

Zionist Jewish Fueled Islamophobia Is Sweeping The United States

I have been tracking the rise of anti-Muslim furor in the United States for the last while, and I find it totally disgusting.  It is all wrong and has been created under false pretences.    There was recent reports that Muslims were going to build a "mosque" on the site of the World Trade Centre complex in New York City.   These reports were totally misleading, due to the fact that the Islamic community in New York had plans in place to build a Mosque within blocks of "Ground Zero", which they are perfectly allowed to do under the freedom of religion provisions in the US Constitution, if it gets the right permits, and if the city of New York allows them to build.  


This misinformation about a new Mosque being built directly on "Ground Zero" was done purposely by the Zionist Jewish controlled media to cause those Americans that still falsely believe that "19 A-rabs using box cutters flew aircraft into the WTC complex on 9-11" to have more reasons to hate Muslims!   The criminal Zionist Jews are now banking on whipping up American anti-Islamic hatred just to have the suckers in America support their newest craving for war against Iran!   It is part of the new psychological warfare being done on the United States using pure and unjust hatred.


I have no qualms with any religious group.  I am against criminals.  And what I am seeing by what these criminal Zionists are trying to now do against Muslims in the United States is indeed criminal and most disturbing.   Here now, I want to present a great article that I came across yesterday, that covers this most wrong Islamophobic craze that is sweeping the United States right now.  It is from the website: www.revoltoftheplebs.wordpress.com, entitled: "Burn Witch, Burn! America Rages Against Islam!".  Here is that article:

Burn, Witch, Burn!: America Rages Against Islam

by Keith Johnson

Islamophobia is sweeping the nation—and it couldn’t have come at a better time.  Just when the American people were starting to become distracted with trivial issues like the potential stock market crash, the re-branding of the war in Iraq, and the ongoing environmental disaster in the Gulf—along comes a crisis of Biblical proportions, that threatens to destroy the moral fiber of America itself, and deliver its Christian population into the diabolical hands of an Islamic dictatorship ruled under the precepts of Sharia law.

        Oh, foolish man.  What can you not be made to believe?
                                           ~Adam Weishaupt~

By now, it should be quite obvious that the hysteria centered on the proposed construction of an Islamic cultural center—a full two blocks from Ground Zero—is nothing more than an engineered distraction, designed to take the focus away from serious geopolitical and domestic issues as we head into the November elections.

Late last year, we watched in horror as the Tea Party movement was infiltrated by certain personalities from the GOP establishment.  Glenn Beck, Dick Armey, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, and others of that same ilk—all dressed down to mingle with working class folks— and let them know that the Republican party shares their pain.  Before these clowns got involved, the focus of the Tea Party was on big government, compulsory health insurance and Wall Street bailouts.  But over a period of time—as these Johnny-Come-Latelies sunk their fingers deeper into the pie—they used their influence to diffuse the ire against Wall Street and redirect those energies to support the GOP war agenda. 

Now we are starting to see large swaths of Tea Party factions taking up the war banner at their events—complete with metrosexual cowboys singing war anthems in the background—and stirring up racial tensions the likes of which we have not witnessed since before the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. 

No longer is Wall Street feeling the hot pangs of public anger breathing down their necks.  These terrorists have been left to their own devices, with free reign to continue their raping and pillaging of the American dream.  Now, cab drivers wearing turbans have more to fear than the bankster gangster riding in their back seats.

From New York City to Southern California, large groups of paranoid warmongers gather outside Islamic places of worship to parrot the lies fed to them by the mainstream media.  Much of their ammunition comes straight out of a likely source:  FOX News.

On August 16, disgraced former congressman Newt Gingrich made an appearance on the morning program, FOX and Friends,and said, “Nazis don’t have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust museum in Washington. We would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor. There’s no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center.”  Is that right?  Well, according to that line of thinking, and assuming that America is a Christian nation (like so many people claim it to be), would it not be just as wrong for us to expect the Japanese to accept a Christian church in Hiroshima or for the Germans to accept one in Dresden?  You, Mr. Gingrich, may think that these are entirely different circumstances.   But I’d waged that there are thousands of Germans and Japanese who would beg to differ.

Later that week, on the same program, host Brian Kilmeadeasserted his fear that the Islamic Cultural Center in New York City would be the future site of a new “Hamburg Cell.”  In case you didn’t know, the “Hamburg Cell” was where three alleged hijackers reportedly cooked up the 911 plot.  Two of the three men were tried in Germany, but the cases were dropped when the U.S. failed to provide any incriminating evidence that linked them to the attacks. 

Other FOX propagandists, like Dick Morris, claim that the center will be used to ‘train and recruit’ future terrorists.  “Shariah law mandates jihad” blurted Morris. “And it mandates terrorism and suicide bombing. So this is really a juridical center that is being established to study and promote and train and recruit Shariah law advocates, which will become terrorists. … We’re establishing literally a command center for terrorism right at the 9/11 site.”  This kind of B.S. brings to mind that famous Arte Johnson line from ‘Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In’:  “Very interesting…but stupid!”

Recent evidence suggests just the opposite of Morris’ line of thinking.  According to a recent New York Times article, “A two-year study by a group of academics on American Muslims and terrorism concluded that contemporary mosques are actually a deterrent to the spread of militant Islam and terrorism. The study was conducted by professors with Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy and the University of North Carolina. It disclosed that many mosque leaders had put significant effort into countering extremism by building youth programs, sponsoring antiviolence forums and scrutinizing teachers and texts.”

But this won’t stop the likes of Gingrich, Kilmeade and Morris from spreading their message of intolerance.  They have an agenda, and that agenda is to stir up a deep-seated hatred against the Muslim community in order to rally support for a war on Iran.  And they’ve been very effective.  Their rhetoric is being picked up and repeated by Islamophobes all across the nation.  For them, it’s all about the fear of Shariah law, disrespect to 911 victims, and the paranoid assumption that all Mosques are staging grounds for future terrorist attacks. 

In Murfreesboro, Tennessee—opponents of a proposed Mosque spray-painted the words “Not Welcome” on a sign that marked the construction site, and later tore it to shreds.  They also brought dogs to intimidate Muslims as they worshipped in the modest office space they’ve been using as a prayer room.  One man—sounding a lot like Newt Gingrich—told a CNN reporter that “In Islam, a mosque means ‘We have conquered this country,’” And where are they? They’re in the center of Tennessee. They’re going to say, ‘We have conquered Tennessee.’”  Oh, boy!  First Tennessee…then the world!

In Temecula, California—plans by the Islamic community to build a mosque on a four-acre parcel of land has sparked a similar protest.  Pastor Bill Rench, of  Temecula Calvary Baptist Church, echoed Kilmeade and Morris when he stated, “There is a concern with all the rumors you hear about sleeper cells and all that. Are we supposed to be complacent just because these people say it’s a religion of peace? Many others have said the same thing.”  Yes, Pastor Rench, many others have said the same thing.  I think you would be hard pressed to find a religion which has not been used by some greedy tyrant as a pretext to wage war…including Christianity.

A website for a group calling itself ‘We the People—Citizens in Action’ called on their members to attend a rally in Temecula and to “bring your Bibles, flags, signs, dogs and singing voice.”  At the event, demonstrators held up signs that read ‘No Sharia Law’ and ‘Muslims Danced For Joy on 9/11.’ Apparently they haven’t learned that the “so-called” dancing Palestinians they’re referring to were actually paid to perform in front of the camera with candy and cakes supplied to them by the Israel Ministry of Defense.  The whole thing was staged. 

What was not staged were the five dancing Israelis arrested on 9/11, who were reported to police after being seen cheering and ‘high-fiving’ as they watched the towers come down.  They’d been shooting video of the disaster from a short distance away.  They were later released by police and deported back to Israel, where three of them admitted on Israeli TV that they were in New York City that day to “document the event.” 

In Bridgeport, Connecticut—a dozen “so-called” Christian demonstrators angrily screamed, “Islam is a lie” and “Jesus hates Muslims” at worshippers of a local Mosque.  One demonstrator even confronted a group of children and called them“murderers.”  Have these people even read the scriptures?  Where can Jesus be found to say that he hates Muslims?  Muslims weren’t even around during the time Christ walked the Earth.  Islam began almost six hundred years after the death of Christ.  There is not even one biblical passage that eludes to Islam or mosques or Muslims.  

We haven’t seen this level of ignorance and superstition since the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600’s.  There are many parallels that be can drawn from that time and now. During that era of American history, the colonies suffered from severe enviromental and economic troubles.  Severe weather changes resulted in crop failures which devastated livestock and the ability for families to put food on the table.  What made matters worse was the influential and fervently religious Puritans, who were very active politically, and attributed all adversity to the wrath of God.  The economic woes, coupled by a belief that all bad things are a result of supernatural punishment for unrepentant sin, fostered a climate of suspicion that sent many in search of the source to their problems.  Someone had to take the blame and be held to answer for all the troubles they inflicted upon everyone else.  While the fanatically religious clung to their superstitions in pursuit of justice, many others took advantage of the hysteria and used it as an opportunity to eliminate bitter rivals and steal coveted and valuable pieces of property.

What we don’t understand, we fear.  What we fear, we judge as evil.  What we judge as evil, we attempt to control.  And what we cannot control…we attack.

We see the same thing happening today.  As we fall deeper into our own economic crisis—aggravated by enviromental disasters and poor money policies—the ignorant masses are susceptible to clinging to a simple explanation for their troubles.  In this case, it is Islam.  They are the modern day witches, whose behavior is foreign and therefore a threat that must be exterminated.  Our modern day equivelent to the Puritans are those fervently religious and politically active Judeo-Christians who cling to a politicised perversion of Biblical scriptures.  They have been led to believe that allegiance to the state of Israel is critical to their salvation.  If Islam is a threat to Israel, then Islam is the enemy that must be defeated.  Then, of course, there are those who are simply taking advantage of the hysteria.  These are our politicians, who will send our children to die in these most unholy of wars, and clean up whatever spoils those wars have wrought.

Contrary to popular perception, none of the victims of the Salem Witch Trials were burned at the stake.  However, the victims of these latest witchhunts have not had it so easy.  Entire villages have burned to the ground in Afghanistan, white phosphorus has been dropped on Palestinian children in Gaza, and talks of a strike on Iran may very well place a mushroom cloud over Tehran in the not so distant future. 

Here at home, violence has already begun to show its ugly face.  In New York City, a Muslim cab driver’s throat was aledgedlyslashed by an irate Islamophobe, and elsewhere, several prayer rugs were urinated upon by an angry drunk shouting racial slurs.  Is this the beginning of even greater violence that we should expect to witness as the rage against Islam escalates out of control?

This frightening trend is indeed a crisis—but to both Democrat and Republican candidates seeking office in November—this is a god send.  For the Republicans, the mosque controversey is a good prop, like the paper mache’ mask that the “Wizard of Oz” lit on fire and waved around to scare Dorothy into taking on the Wicked Witch of the West.  For the Democrats, bringing attention to the frenzied hysteria of the reactionary right provides a good opportunity to lure back disgruntled dissenters, who have been suffering a bit of buyers remorse since Obama took office.

It’s a sad thing to watch.  Just when the time was ripe for the people of this nation to unite in opposition to the established government, we are now beginning to see them part ways… and herded back into their respective corners. 

NTS Notes:  The criminal Zionist Jews want this very false hatred to continue to spread across America, because they are hoping to get enough of the dumbed down Americans to hate Muslims enough to accept their newest war of bloodshed against Iran.   They know that if Americans only knew that Muslims are NOT a threat at all, then they will lose and possibly lose their puppets in America all together.


I have wanted to ask this question:  If Americans are so sore about a mosque being built NEAR Ground Zero in New York City, then how would they feel if a Synagogue was built in its place?  Hmmm... Interesting question, isn't it?   AND if there is so much hatred of an Islamic symbol being built in New York, then what about every Christmas now when the Zionist Jews put up Menorahs everywhere, and especially one huge one right on the White House lawn?  Why are people not rising up against that?


Islam is not a threat to America, but Zionist Judaism is.   There is absolutely nothing hateful in the Koran and Islamic teachings.  People are not aware that Islam has great appreciation and holds Jesus Christ and all the teachings of Christianity in extremely high regard.   If people would just take the time to actually look at Islam rather than listen to the Zionist Jewish BS controlled media putting up false rhetoric, then they would see the real truth.


Now on the other hand, Zionist Judaism bases itself on teachings of the Talmud.  The Talmud is one of the most wretched and disgusting works of hatred and racism that was ever written.  Its teachings talk about ALL of us, other than Jews, as being subhuman and nothing more than cattle.  It also teaches that Jesus Christ was a sorcerer and a demon, and his mother Mary was a whore!    If there is anything that should whip up hatred in the American public, it is definitely THIS type of teaching of racism and pure evil!


Again, before anyone take up the idea of hating Muslims, get your facts straight, and do NOT be fooled by the absolutely disgusting crap that the criminals in the media try to brainwash you with!   The truth is out there for everyone to see!

Why Americans Should Oppose Zionism

Israel is about to launch a new war of aggression against another innocent country very shortly, and guaranteed they will get their puppets in the United States to do most of the fighting for them.  The Zionist Jewish controlled American government will abide their Zionist Jewish masters' wish and commit American soldiers to this newest war for Israel.   The result will be thousands of dead Iranians, and scores of dead American soldiers, all for Israel to have its last major foe to its expansionism in the Middle East removed!

For this article, I want to present a great article from www.electronicintifada.net, that gives some major reasons, and a great explanation as to why all Americans should oppose criminal Zionism.   Here is that article in its entirety:

Why Americans should oppose Zionism

Steven Salaita, The Electronic Intifada, 26 August 2010

Eden Abergil's now infamous photos do not represent anomalous, excess behavior. (Facebook)

Israel has been subject to some bad publicity recently. In 2008-09, it launched a brutal military campaign in the Gaza Strip that killed more than 400 Palestinian children. In May 2010, bumbling Israeli commandos murdered nine nonviolence activists on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla's Mavi Marmara. It only got worse for Israel when it was revealed that soldiers stole and sold personal items such as laptops from the ship. Last week, former Israeli soldier Eden Abergil posted photos onto Facebook showing her preening in front of blindfolded and despondent Palestinian prisoners, in some instances mocking those prisoners with sexual undertones. The photos were part of an album entitled "IDF [Israeli army] -- the best time of my life."

While Abergil's pictures may not seem as abhorrent as the Gaza and Mavi Marmara brutality -- Abergil, for her part, described her behavior as nonviolent and free of contempt -- all three actions are intimately connected. First of all, we must dispel the notion that Abergil's photos are nonviolent. As with the Abu Ghraib debacle, a sexualized and coercive humiliation is being visited on the bodies of powerless, colonized and incarcerated subjects, which by any reasonable principle is a basal form of violence. There is also the obvious physical violence of Palestinians being bound and blindfolded, presumably in or on their way to prisons nobody will confuse with the Ritz Carlton.

More important, these recent episodes merely extend an age-old list of Israeli crimes and indignities that illuminate a depravity in the Zionist enterprise itself. What is noteworthy about Israel's three recent escapades is that more and more people are starting to pay attention to its crimes and indignities. In so doing, more and more people are questioning the origin and meaning of Zionism -- that is, the very idea of a legally ethnocentric Israel.

I would like to address this piece to those who have undertaken such questioning or to those who are prepared to initiate it. I would urge you not to limit your critique of Israel only to its errors of judgment or its perceived excesses; it is more productive to challenge the ideology and practice of Zionism itself. There is no noble origin or beautiful ideal to which the wayward Jewish state must return; such yearnings are often duplicitous mythmaking or romanticized nostalgia. Zionists always intended to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, a strategy they carried out and continue to pursue with horrifying efficiency.

Likewise, Zionism was always a colonialist movement, one that relied on the notions of divine entitlement and civilizational superiority that justified previous settlement projects in South Africa, Algeria and North America. Zionism, by virtue of its exclusionary outlook and ethnocentric model of citizenship, is on its own a purveyor of fundamental violence. The bad PR to which Israel sometimes is subject today is a reflection of changed media dynamics, not a worsening of Israel's behavior.

The 2008-09 Gaza invasion, the attack on the Mavi Marmara and Abergil's Facebook photos aren't anomalous or extraordinary. They are the invariable result of a Zionist ideology that cannot help but view Palestinian Muslims and Christians as subhuman, no matter how ardently its liberal champions assert that Zionism is a liberation movement. Zionism has the unfortunate effect of proclaiming that one group of people should have access to certain rights from which another group of people is excluded. There is nothing defensible in this proposition.

Here, then, are four reasons why Americans (and all other humans regardless of race or religion) should oppose Zionism:

1. Zionism is unethical and immoral: Because Zionists claim access to land and legal rights that directly obviate the same access to an indigenous community, it operates from within an idea of belonging that is cruel and archaic. Israel bases its primary criterion for citizenship on religious identity. Imagine having your religion on your driver's license. And imagine having limited access to freeways, farmland, family, education, employment and foreign travel because the religion by which the state has chosen to identify you is legally marginalized. Such is the daily reality of the Palestinian people.

2. Zionism is racist: This claim isn't the same as saying that all Zionists are racist. I would make a distinction between the categories of "Zionist" and "Zionism." However, inherent in the practice of Zionism is a reliance on racialist judgments about who can fully participate in the benefits and practices of a national community. Many Zionists view themselves merely as supporting freedom and safety for Jewish people. I would suggest that people who identify themselves as Zionist look more closely at the ideology they support. Such freedom and safety, both of which are in fact mythologies, come at the direct expense of people confined to Bantustans and refugee camps.

3. Zionism contravenes the geopolitical interests of the United States: Many Americans have heard former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert boast that he once pulled George W. Bush off the dais while Bush was giving a speech, or more recently current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing that "America is something that can be easily moved." Israel costs the United States billions of dollars in direct aid and in bribe money to Jordan and Egypt for their docility. Israel also is the main reason for disgruntlement about American foreign policy in the Arab and Muslim Worlds. I raise this point with some hesitation because I believe all citizens of the United States should challenge and not celebrate American geopolitical interests. I would also point out that Zionism's narrative of salvation and redemption resonates deeply among Americans because of the US' origin and continued presence as a nation of settler colonists. In the end, America itself needs to be decolonized and the vast sums of money that support the imperial projects Israel so brazenly exemplifies need to be directed toward the well-being of those who pay the government its taxes.

4. Zionism is fundamentally incompatible with democracy: Israel, as a result, is undemocratic and will be as long as it uses religious identity as the operating criterion of citizenship. We hear much in the US about Islam being incompatible with democracy, a belief that is historically untrue and that elides the massive military and monetary support the US provides to the assortment of dictators and plutocrats that rule much of the Arab World. Neoconservative and mainstream commentators both evoke Israel in opposition to Islam as a symbol of democratic achievement. In reality Israel performs one of the most barbaric forms of oppression today in the West Bank and Gaza Strip while simultaneously discriminating against the Palestinian citizens of Israel who constitute approximately twenty percent of the citizenry.

The alternative media engendered by new technology have allowed more people to witness the unremitting violence that has been Israel's stock in trade for decades. Many consumers of this information and these images believe that Israel is guilty of excess when a simpler explanation exists: Israel is acting out the requisites of an exclusionary and inherently violent ideology.

These days all it takes is a little braggadocio from an ex-soldier such as Eden Abergil to so perfectly symbolize the callousness of Zionist colonization. Ten years ago, the Israeli government's lies about the killings aboard the Mavi Marmara would have been unchallenged by gruesome footage distributed through alternative news networks and social media. Nobody these days could have stopped the images of white phosphorous exploding and spreading over the Gaza Strip from being aired; Israelis themselves were foolish enough to capture Jewish children writing messages on soon-to-be-launched missiles.

Americans now have all the evidence they need for a reasonable and morally-sound conclusion, that Zionism produces a cruelty and truculence that they bankroll with their taxes and legitimize with either silence or consent. As a result, I am not arguing that Americans should reassess their level of support for Israel. I am arguing that Americans should oppose Zionism altogether. Perhaps in this way we might begin the long and difficult process of redeeming our own nation of its imperial sins.

NTS Notes:  People must be informed that Zionism is a political movement that calls for the Jewish people to have control of ALL of Palestine exclusively for themselves.   As shown in the Electronic Intifada article, it is morally unjust, racist, and highly unethical.

Health Warning: Australia BANS Flu Vaccines In Children After Vomiting, Fevers, And Seizures!

It has been through the hard work of bloggers and others, who want the real truth, that the entire Swine Flu Pandemic has been fully exposed as a massive hoax and swindle. We have been constantly warning people to never roll up their sleeves and take the prescribed poisonous vaccines into their bodies no matter what the government and the compliant BS media says.

But it seems that the message was not taken to heart in Australia, and the consequences, as I will show, speak for themselves. Here is an article from www.naturalnews.com that just came out where Australia has now banned Flu Vaccines in children after reported cases of vomiting, high fever, and seizures! Here is that article:

	Australia bans flu vaccines in children after vomiting, fevers, seizures

Friday, August 27, 2010
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com (See all articles...)

(NaturalNews) Although it's still summer in North America, it is of course winter in Australia, and the flu season is well under way there. As usual, Australian health authorities have been urging parents there to vaccinate their children against the flu, propagating the mythology that flu vaccines are both safe and effective. But this time around, many Australian parents found out the hard way that they were being lied to.

It didn't take long to realize the truth after their children start going into convulsions following the flu vaccine injections. Other children began vomiting or exhibiting dangerously high levels of fever. One child has gone into a coma and may never recover.

As reported in WA Today (http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/f...)

"Perth mother of two Bea Flint said her 11-month-old boy Avery had a seizure after receiving the first dose of the two-dose flu vaccination on Saturday. Mrs Flint said that after the 9am vaccination she noticed Avery had a minor temperature about 2pm. At 7.45pm, Avery started whimpering and moaning. When Mrs Flint got to his cot the baby had vomited and was lying on his side having a seizure. 'He couldn't cry - his head was hanging down in the car seat and he couldn't move. I was petrified - it was one of the worst experiences of my life."

The story goes on to say, "The doctor who treated Avery told Mrs Flint her baby was the fifth child with similar symptoms admitted to the hospital that day."

In other words, this was no rare event. Vaccinated children suffering severe convulsions were piling up in hospital emergency rooms across the country.

The real kicker, though, is that children started having convulsions two weeks ago but Australian health authorities ignored them, insisting that the vaccine was safe and causing it to be injected in yet more babies. Two weeks later, with dozens more children experiencing convulsions (and who knows how many thousands actually being harmed in less obvious ways), Commonwealth chief health officer Professor Jim Bishop finally announced the vaccination ban.

Remember: Health authorities in Australia, UK, the United States and everywhere else have relentlessly insisted that flu vaccines are perfectly safe and can't possibly harm anyone. In the U.S., the FDA has given its approval to the very same flu vaccine that's harming children in Australia, and the CDC has insisted that all children in the USA -- regardless of age -- should now be injected with this very same flu vaccine.

So now we've got a vaccine that Australia has banned by the USA somehow says is safe enough to inject into a six-month-old infant. How many convulsing babies will it take in the U.S. before American parents realize the truth about flu vaccines?

Chemically induced convulsions

As you're reading this, you may find yourself wonder, "Well, what could cause such convulsions in children?"

The answer is more terrifying than you might think, because it's not "weakened flu viruses" that vaccine manufacturer claim they put into the vaccines. A weakened flu virus doesn't send children into convulsions. Only a chemical can do that.

The chemical in question is one that's routinely added to most vaccines as a way to aggravate the immune system to respond to the presence of the weakened virus. It's called an "adjuvant" and consists of a highly inflammatory chemical that we now know may damage brain tissues and the nervous system. It is this adjuvant that most likely caused the convulsions in children.

Even in children who don't experience convulsions, there is speculation that this adjuvant may lead to future Alzheimer's disease or other neurological disorders. Vaccine manufacturers always attempt to downplay their use of adjuvant chemicals, and few media outlets focus on this important point, but it is the adjuvant that is most likely responsible for sending these Australian children into hospitals with convulsions.

Health authorities defend dangerous vaccine

One thing I've noticed about vaccine pushers is that they behave like irrational zealots. No matter how much evidence surfaces about the dangers of vaccines, they continue to mindlessly push them while ignoring the evidence.

A pediatric professor in Australia, Dr Peter Richmond, admitted that researchers were trying to figure out if the entire vaccine was dangerous, or if there was just a bad batch. But even before getting the answer to this question, he goes on to say that everybody over the age of five should go ahead and get injected with this same vaccine! (http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/f...)

In other words, he's so convinced the vaccine is safe -- even after dozens of children were obviously harmed by it -- that he's still pushing the same dangerous vaccine onto everybody else!

This is precisely the kind of attitude reflected across the vaccine industry. Reports of children being harmed, or paralyzed, or hospitalized by vaccines are always written off as "coincidence." The mounting evidence is simply thrown out the window because it conflicts with the pro-vaccine agenda.

Can you imagine the outrage if an herbal product sent fifty kids to the hospital suffering from convulsions? Health authorities across the world would be quick to condemn the product, and they'd confiscate it right off the shelves while shutting down the operations of its manufacturer. But somehow when a vaccine does the same thing, these same health authorities urge people to keep on injecting their children with it!

It makes no sense. But then again, the vaccine industry was never based on rational thinking in the first place. If health authorities were truly rational, they'd be handing out vitamin D supplements to children instead of injecting them with vaccines, because vitamin D has been scientifically proven to provide better protection against the flu than vaccines. (http://www.naturalnews.com/029333_v...)

Of course, to ask health authorities to make rational decisions is sort of like asking politicians to start telling the truth. In the complicated world of profits and politics, rational, honest thinking just doesn't get any traction. It's far more profitable to keep lying to the world and raking in billions of dollars each year off dangerous vaccines, even as they continue to harm innocent children.

I often wonder... How many dead children will it take before parents wake up and realize that flu vaccines are dangerous? The answer may surprise you: Even a million dead children won't change the minds of most parents because they just do whatever they're told by health authorities, even if it makes no rational sense.

Most parents are so brainwashed by the medical system that they would gladly line up to have their babies injected with chemotherapy if they were told it was somehow necessary.

At some point, the parents whose babies are being harmed or potentially even killed by these vaccines can only blame themselves. They were the ones who brought their babies to be injected with a chemical adjuvant and viral fragments, and they should know better than to trust the government when it comes to health advice. The government, after all, still says that pharmaceutical chemicals are good for you while vitamins, herbs and natural remedies are dangerous. And it's the government that approved the very vaccines that are right now sending these children to the hospital.

Any parent that trusts the government with the health of their child is setting themselves up for catastrophe. And that catastrophe could very well cost them the life of their child.

NTS Notes: When will people finally learn that they should never take any flu "vaccines" into their bodies? The people of Australia refused to listen to the naysayers, and just look at the results!

What happened in Australia will definitely happen here in North America with the coming of Autumn and the annual Seasonal Flu scare. People must stop acting like gullible sheep and realize that the media and the government are LYING when it comes to the need for seasonal flu shots.

There are so many dangerous chemicals in these "vaccines" that the criminals in the pharmaceutical industry want to inject into our bodies. Squaleen, and Thimersol are two major poisons in the vaccines, along with many other chemicals used as adjuvants as shown in the Natural News article. These chemicals CAN do permanent damage to the human body, and yet here again we have the citizens of Australia lining up like cattle to take these shots! Again, the results speak for themselves....

As shown in the Natural News article, and articles that I have put up in my own blog, absolutely refuse to take any flu vaccine! Instead, take Vitamin D to fight off the seasonal flu outbreak.

Lets get the word out and make sure that what has just happened in Australia does not happen here. Take this article and send it off to others...

The Upcoming War With Iran: Israeli President Peres Tells IAEA Officials That Iran Is Threatening To Use Nuclear Weapons!

Israel wants their newest war with Iran desperately. However, they are now having a difficult time in convincing a world that is rapidly turning against them that Iran is a threat in any way. Their lame excuses that Iran actually possesses nuclear weapons is falling on deaf ears, because all of the evidence is now showing that Iran is years away from building nukes.

But the rhetoric and push for war is still going on. Here is a new article from www.antiwar.com, where the Israeli President, Shimon Peres, has met with the Director General of the IAEA; Amano Yukiya, and gave him the same BS report that Iran is threatening to use "nuclear weapons" primarily against Israel! It is absolutely ridiculous, but here is that article for my own readers to view:

Israeli President: Iran Threatens to Use Nuclear Weapons

Peres Tells IAEA Iran Poses a Danger to Israel

by Jason Ditz, August 25, 2010

Having been snubbed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Amano Yukiya visited with Israel’s President Shimon Peres instead.

Amano’s visit was presumed to be part of his overall goal to pressure Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), but instead his visit became, as so many official visits to Israel do, all about Iran.

Peres, whose position in Israel is largely ceremonial, demanded that Amano and the rest of the world “acknowledge the danger” Iran poses to Israel and the rest of the world, adding that Iran “threatens to use nuclear weapons.”

Which of course isn’t true, because Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons. Israel and a few allies have claimed Iran might be trying to develop the technology that would hypothetically allow them to develop a nuclear weapon in the future if they wanted to.

But Iran of course has been denying this, and has certainly never “threatened” to use nuclear weapons. Indeed, Iran’s Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a fatwa against the nation even possessing such weapons.

Israel, on the other hand, is known to possess the only nuclear arsenal in the Middle East and is also the only nation in the region which is not a member in good standing of the NPT. This was supposed to be the goal of Amano’s visit as, after all, the IAEA is pressing to create a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East.

NTS Notes: It has to be repeated again here: Iran does NOT have nuclear weapons, and they have absolutely no desire to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. They are building nuclear reactors for POWER generation only. The IAEA has sent multitudes of inspectors to Iran, as requested by Iran itself, and they have had the same report for years that Iran is absolutely years away from any nuclear weapons!

And it must also be repeated again here that the ONLY nation in the Middle East that possesses nuclear weapons is Israel itself. Also it must be repeated that Israel has NEVER allowed any IAEA inspection of their nuclear development plants, especially at Dimona in the Negev Desert.

Israel is wanting war to destroy their only remaining adversary left in the Middle East, which is Iran itself. Once they get their sock puppets in America to destroy Iran, then they will be able to roll into their neighbouring nations without opposition and gain their sick dream of a Greater Israel.

Lets make sure that people are properly up to speed on the real truths about Iran and Israel. These criminals know that the world is turning against them rapidly, and if they want to have their nice new war of bloodshed against Iran, they will have to launch it very soon!

Fake Gold Bars In Fort Knox! Note To Ron Paul: Good Luck Trying To Get Fort Knox Audited

There has been a recent push by Congressman Ron Paul to get the US Gold Bullion Reserves primarily based on the Federal Gold Repository at Fort Knox, Kentucky, audited to prove that there is actually gold sitting there. An audit would go far in proving that there is enough reserves of Gold if the US economy eventually collapses, and there suddenly becomes a push to have a new currency based on Gold.

However, is there actually Gold sitting in Fort Knox? Well, according to this article, actually posted in the website: www.fulcrum.newsvine.com, the Gold that is sitting there is FAKE, and as I have proven in previous articles, actually TUNGSTEN bars with a small coating of Gold to give the illusion of being solid gold bars! Here is that article for my readers to view, and my further comments afterwards:

Fake Gold Bars in Fort Knox!

News Type: Event — Seeded on Wed Nov 25, 2009 9:22 PM EST

A recent discovery -- in October of 2009 -- has been suppressed by the main stream media but has been circulating among the "big money" brokers and financial kingpins and is just now being revealed to the public. It involves the gold in Fort Knox -- the US Treasury gold -- that is the equity of our national wealth. In short, millions (with an "m") of gold bars are fake!

Officials were shocked to learn that the bars were fake. They contained cores of tungsten with only a outer coating of real gold. What's more, these gold bars, containing serial numbers for tracking, originated in the US and had been stored in Fort Knox for years. There were reportedly between 5,600 to 5,700 bars, weighing 400 oz. each, in the shipment!

NTS Notes: Again, as I have said for a very long time, the criminal Zionist Jews will do everything possible to prevent any audit of the US Gold Reserves, primarily based at Fort Knox, due to the fact that ALL of the gold there, if there is any, is really faked bars consisting primarily of Tungsten ingots with a small overlay of Gold!

The real gold in the US reserves, and for that matter, the reserves of most Western nations, has been removed and is sitting in the Zionist Jewish Rothschild banks in Europe. To create the illusion that there is gold, the criminal US Government got in cahoots with these European criminals, and manufactured fake Tungsten/Gold bars, to replace the real Gold bars, due to the fact that Tungsten is almost the same specific gravity and physical weight as Gold!

Readers, the facts are clear and consistent. There is absolutely NO Gold reserves in the United States, or in Canada. If these criminals ever convince people of the need to have a Gold based currency, then we surrender what is left of our freedoms due to the fact that the criminal Zionist Jews have all of the Gold!

Therefore there will never be an audit of the Gold Reserves due to the fact that the criminals in the Federal Reserve are part of this game, and they will use all means possible to prevent the real truth from coming out by all means possible. They know that if the truth is ever known to the general public, there will definitely be hell to pay!

The Global Warming Fraud: James Cameron Demands People Of "His Stature" For Climate Debate!

For the last while we have seen Hollywood director, James Cameron come out and call Global Warming skeptics "boneheads", and say that he wanted to shoot it out with them at high noon (!). After that, he first called for a debate with the skeptics and then refused to debate using every excuse possible. Even I at first thought that James Cameron refused to debate, due to the fact that he discovered that the skeptics are right, and the entire Global Warming scare was a massive scam. It seems that I could not have been more wrong about James Cameron....

It seems that according to this new article, from www.noteviljustwrong.com, James Cameron is now asserting that he will only debate with people of "His own stature"! I could not believe what I was seeing, and I want to put that article up right here for my own viewers to see for themselves:

James Cameron demands people of his "stature" for climate debate

Written by Ann & Phelim

Thursday, 26 August 2010 10:20

Back in March James Cameron said, “I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads."

This put into motion the debate-that-was-not, starting with Cameron calling Ann McElhinney, Marc Marono, and Andrew Breitbart requesting a debate at the AREDAY summit.

But as soon as they accepted, Cameron started backtracking. His list of demands for the debate can only be described as diva behavior, changing by the hour and becoming more restrictive every time. Ban cameras, ban audio, ban the media, ban the public.

We met every unreasonable demand. Yet, when it finally came time to sit down and discuss Global Warming the outspoken environmentalist turned tail and ran, canceling while one of the debaters, Marc Marono, was in flight. "The whole house of cards is falling! Well done, Jimmy! I'm beginning to doubt the existence of the Titanic," mocked Dennis Miller.

Canceling the debate didn't stop Cameron from trash-talking skeptics at AREDAY. "James Cameron quickly went for the oft-traversed intellectual low road of ad hominem attacks, recently attacking skeptics of global warming as those of piggish DNA," said Tim Daniel of The Daily Caller.

Jim Treacher, also from the Daily Caller, made sure to note the sheer insanity of the situation, and in terms the wannabe gunslinger would understand. "You shoulda seen the looks on them fact-rustlers’ faces when ol’ Killer Cameron bravely refused ta face ‘em. Then he called ‘em names behind their backs! Go ahead, say he’s yeller all ya want — cuz, well, that’s what he is — but he’s the one wearin’ the white hat, if’n ya really don’t think about it." -

After the name calling, Cameron screened a documentary, casting himself as the hero against an evil Brazilian electricity company "before jet-setting back to that carbon credit trader’s wet dream he calls a home" as Red State's Caleb Howe so aptly put it.

This turned out to be just the beginning of the circus. Hot Air was ahead of the curve, predicting the excuses Cameron's camp would pitch to the public, predicting Cameron would go with not wanting to "legitimatize skeptics."

Turns out Hot Air's expectations were too high and that Cameron's excuses boiled down to arrogance.

"Cameron is now claiming he canceled the climate debate at the last minute because I am not worthy to debate him. Cameron claims I have not achieved a 'stature in our society' that is 'similar to his.' Looks like I may have a long wait to rise to Cameron's level of environmental consciousness!" said Mark Marono, Climate Depot.

But you know what, we've become familiar with climate alarmists refusing to debate or answer questions. As Marono noted, "Cameron was given the standard Al Gore talking points, and he was repeating them..." It's too bad that Cameron is also taking cues from Gore's attitude toward hard questions.

We know we haven't heard the last of this story. Stay tuned, for the next installment in the Cameron No-Show.


NTS Notes: James Cameron calling for debate ONLY with people of his own "stature" is a slap in the face of everyone that knows the truth about Global Warming being a scam. How egotistical of him to think that he has higher "stature" than others and that Global Warming skeptics do not meet his standards!

Considering the fraud that Global Warming truly is, I am of the belief now that we should definitely not debate with a clown like James Cameron because he is well below our stature!
