The War In Afghanistan Is Lost: NATO Mission (Occupation) In Afghanistan Is Now Longer Than Soviet Occupation!

The war in Afghanistan has been lost from the start.   The evil Rothschilds of Europe demanded in 2001, BEFORE the attacks of 9-11, that their minion and servant nations send in troops to restore the Opium poppy fields to full production for their own profits.    Now over 9 years later, the American and NATO forces are still there, fighting a losing battle against the true freedom fighters, the Taliban themselves!

Now, I want to present a new article from the Telegraph news service out of the UK, at www.telegraph.co.uk, entitled: "NATO Mission In Afghanistan As Long As Soviet Occupation", that shows that the NATO "mission" to Afghanistan has now exceeded the time that the Soviets spent in the 1980's in their vain attempt to subjugate that nation!  Here is that article:

Nato mission in Afghanistan as long as Soviet occupation

The Nato-led mission in Afghanistan has now lasted as long as the Soviet army's doomed occupation during the 1980s.

By Ben Farmer, Kabul 2:06PM GMT 26 Nov 2010

Coalition troops, including 9,500 British, will on Saturday surpass the nine years and fifty days which the Red Army spent unsuccessfully trying to build a socialist state.

The milestone comes as Nato has 140,000 troops deployed in the country and levels of violence are at their highest since the US-backed ousting of the Taliban in October 2001.

Russian troops invaded Afghanistan on December 27, 1979, to prop up a communist regime facing a popular uprising.

On February 15, 1989, the last armoured convoy of wearied Russian forces retreated north across the Amu Darya river into Uzbekistan after failing to quell a CIA-backed resistance which Mikhail Gorbachev had labelled "our bleeding wound".

Mohammad Najibullah, the puppet leader the Soviet's left behind, clung onto power for another three years until he was ousted by the Mujahideen rebels.

Nato's special forces-led mission in the wake of the September 11 attacks to topple the Taliban and kill or capture their al Qaeda terrorist guests, has grown into a vast counter-insurgency campaign.

Nine years after the Taliban fled to their Pakistan havens, the resurgent movement controls swathes of the south and Nato is losing on average 50 to 60 troops a month.

Generals say they have this summer finally reversed the insurgents' momentum, but a Pentagon assessment this week said progress was patchy.

Wadir Safi, a professor at Kabul University and minister in the Najibullah government, said "the Americans never reached the goal for which they came."

"If they don't change their policy, if they don't reach their goals, if they don't reach agreement with the armed opposition and with the government, then it is not a far time that the Afghan people will be fed up with the presence of these foreign forces." Nader Nadery, an Afghan analyst who has studied the both invasions, said the Nato presence could not be compared with the brutality of the Red Army occupation.

As the Soviets lost control of the countryside to rebels backed by hundreds of millions of pounds from America and the Gulf states, they resorted to indiscriminate campaigns of bombing and massacre. More than a million civilians died.

He said: "There was indiscriminate mass bombardment of villages for the eviction of Mujahideen. Civilian casualties are not at all comparable."

NTS Notes:  NATO and American forces have been in Afghanistan for over 9 years now to keep the Opium flowing out of that nation, and there is absolutely no hope for any victory against the Taliban.

People must be asking themselves therefore... What are the Americans and NATO now doing to withdraw from Afghanistan?   The answer is absolutely nothing!  In fact, rather than plan their escape from the quagmire, the American leadership is escalating the fight in Afghanistan by bringing in even heavier armaments into that lost fight!

So with 9 years of fighting in a lost cause for illegal drug trading, and after throwing away over a TRILLION dollars, the war in Afghanistan has not only exceeded the length of the Vietnam War, but it has now exceeded even the Soviet occupation!   The outcome however will still be the same eventually, with the Americans and NATO forced to withdraw, and broken and dead bodies coming home!

Lets again demand that our troops be withdrawn from this unjustifiable war, and bring them home, NOW!

More to come

Iran-North Korea Nuclear Lies, Orders From Tel Aviv!

With America in free fall, and it involved in un-winnable wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, their own government is now involved in some dangerous rhetoric directed at North Korea for their recent "shelling" of South Korean territory! 

Lets first get the facts out right now about that North Korean incident... It was started by South Korea by their war games conducted jointly with US forces.  The press however has been following their orders and trying to put the blame for this incident on North Korea itself.    It does seem that with the failure to get the United States to attack Iran, the Zionist Jewish powers are now wanting to get the next best thing going, which is a war on the Korean Peninsula off and running...

For this article, I want to present the following article that was just released by Gordon Duff over at Veterans Today (www.veteranstoday.com), entitled:  "Iran-Korea Nuclear Lies, Orders From Tel Aviv".   It is well written with some facts that I was not even aware of, and therefore I am presenting it here for my own readers to view:

CAN VANUNU TIE ISRAEL TO ROGUE NUKES?

TWO IMAGINARY NUCLEAR PROGRAMS, ONE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

Former President George W. Bush planned to invade Iran in 2007, even though America’s military was exhausted and overstretched by two unsuccessful wars.  His own popularity, at a real 8%, was the reason, that and the economic collapse that he was trying to push back until he left office.  He believed a war would have saved his presidency, buried the $3 trillion dollars stolen by his friends and given him a legacy to be proud of, even if every family in America suffered.

Bush brazenly admits prettymuch exactly these things in his ghost written autobiography, an incoherent rant, that rambles between blithering and megalomaniac delusion .  The only thing that stopped this disaster was the National Intelligence Assessment, (NIE) that proved categorically, that Iran had no nuclear weapons program whatsoever.  Even then, Bush tried to hide this report and demanded that falsified intelligence be created as he had done for 9/11, Afghanistan and Iran. However, as a lame duck and failed president, nobody listened.

Integrity won out over insanity, greed and corruption this time.  It wouldn’t last.

THREE YEARS LATER, NEW PRESIDENT, MORE OF THE SAME

Talk of war helps everyone,  It takes focus off the fact that both Russia and China dropped the dollar as a trade currency today.  Pushing that out of the news is important as it is real news.  Real news points fingers at real problems.  Instead, everyone is having fun with North Korea and Iran but 90% of the abuse isn’t toward the countries themselves.  No, its against the English language.

Joseph Schuman of “AOL News” call the centrifuges in North Korea “ultra-modern.”  Do they have fins?  Are the deco?  Is there a post impressionist aspect about them?  We also read the glowing description, “astonishingly modern.”  Did Picasso design them?  Is there a touch of Matisse?

GAZA WALL, PALESTINIAN GHETTO OR "NUKE BARRIER?"

More words are bandied about, “potential” and vague reference to, perhaps another facility, with even more “ultra-modern” or, perhaps “spectacular” or even “fabulous” centrifuges.  Schuman even describes them in the most fearful terminology of all, as resembling those from “Iran.”

All of the talk about uranium enrichment and “weapons grade” is purposefully vague.  The most dangerous possible materials either nation is capable of producing would be unable to duplicate the nuclear carnage America has wrought on Iraq and Afghanistan.  Oh, you don’t know that, someone told you that DU, Depleted Uranium, another abuse of language, is harmless?

Worse yet, Depleted Uranium, which is “partially” depleted like being “partially” dead or “partially” pregnant, is one of dozens of radioactive compounds used in every American weapon system from penetrator rounds for the ancient M-2 .50 cal. machinegun to the bombs we drop every hour, many carrying “potentially” lethal doses of “murderous” uranium oxide.

In reality, there is no real danger from Iran using its “depleted uranium” as it has promised to turn over all its dangerous waste to Brazil.  Radiation is a death dealing problem unless, of course, you are at an American airport or living in Fallujah, where radiation levels from “harmless” American weapons are now 38 times those of Hiroshima after the 1945 nuclear attack.

Isn’t language fun?

THE STRANGE CASE OF NORTH KOREA

North Korea is backward and dirt poor.  South Korea has an economy 300 times larger, if you don’t get that number correctly, picture one car in a restaurant parking lot and 300 cars in another.  One lot says long lines and great food, the other….food poisoning and no staff.

That’s North Korea, “food poisoning and no staff.”  We could care a more dangerous “evildoer” out of a banana.

They also have no money, no exports, no foreign currency, no economy, no technology to export, no money to buy technology but they have missiles, fancy new German built submarines and, supposedly have exploded two nuclear weapons so far, two vastly different weapons, two extremely strange weapons but certainly not two “ultra-modern” nuclear weapons.  If you hadn’t wondered where North Korea “found” two nuclear weapons, perhaps it’s time for you to start.

Back in 2006, North Korea created a nuclear “fizzler.”  This is an explosion that has a nuclear signature but no fission or fusion reaction has occurred, no “chain reaction” like with a nuclear weapon.  Even stranger, the explosion itself, actually thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, enough to stimulate food production in North Korea and end their eternal famine.  Instead, North Korea put a plutonium “pit” from an unserviced and aged hydrogen bomb on a ship load of fertilizer and blew the whole thing up.

The United States had “misplaced” 3 or more hydrogen bombs back in 1991 off the coast of Somalia, weapons that were recovered by arms dealers that were part of a South African, Rhodesian, Israeli nexus that helped fuel, not only “Iran/Contra” but armed both sides of the Iraq/Iran war.  Anyone worried about “suitcase nukes” needn’t bother.  These weren’t 40 ton mini-nukes but rather 200,000 ton two stage thermonuclear weapons.  The B-52 that crashed attempting an emergency landing at Diego Garcia had at least 3 of these and maybe 8.

Attempts to find these weapons sent American troops into Somalia and across East Africa.  These operations were top secret, some were under cover of counter-terrorism tied to Al Qaeda, in fact, Al Qaeda was very likely invented for this reason.

For those of you who don’t know, a hydrogen bomb has a Plutonium “pit,” small in size that is stimulated by a Uranium 235 “sparkplug,” essentially two separate weapons that, when used together, produce a fusion reaction, many times larger than that of a simply atomic bomb.  Oh, I forgot, there is a canister of tritium gas that helps fuel the reaction, an extremely rare gas that needs to be replaced often.  Old hydrogen bombs don’t work.

Thus, someone who bought such a weapon somewhere would need to have it serviced by a super-power or buy a “trigger.”  During the 1990s, the CIA led by Valerie Plame, and aided by Pakistan’s A.Q. Khan, offered such “triggers” for sale in order to locate and recover these missing weapons.

You now know a big secret.  You also know that, if one of these weapons harms someone, former Vice President Dick Cheney, the man who undermined this vital CIA mission, is responsible, not “Scooter” Libby, the “fall guy.”  With all the leaks around, you might wonder how all this was kept out of the papers?  Who owns “the papers?”  Who owns the news?

The signature of the Plutonium was odd.  The cover story is that North Korea got Plutonium, not by producing it, but “found” it inside centrifuges they bought from Pakistan.  This is the rough equivalent of finding enough spare change under the cushions of your couch to buy a new Ferrari.

North Korea does not have the technology to create, mold or machine Plutonium, almost no one has.  Breeder reactors create Plutonium but it is impossible to machine or mold without using special alloys which, of course, are traceable during any nuclear explosion.  North Korea has had two “nuclear” explosions and both have been traced.

Not one ounce of “North Korean” material was ever involved.

The 2006 explosion did have a nuclear signature, a North Korean explosion but an American nuclear signature.  That there wasn’t something worse, an implosion based explosion or, worse, a thermonuclear device demonstrates a partially successful CIA operation with Pakistan’s A.Q. Khan and Valerie Plane to thank, heroes the Bush administration tried to hound to death.  Why?

THEN A REAL NUKE WENT OFF IN NORTH KOREA, DID THEY FORGET THE RECIPE?

Then it happened, or did it?  North Korea built a nuclear weapon and exploded it, an 18.2 kiloton “Hiroshima” type “gun” weapon they built themselves?  This was May 25, 2009 when a country incapable of enriching uranium to “weapons grade” exploded the impossible nuke, or did they?

Yes, there was an explosion, North Korea theoretically became a nuclear state but, funny thing, the world never treated them as such.  Why is that?  What was the secret?  Why was this so quickly forgotten?

The answer is simple, North Korea bought a nuclear weapon, one identical to one exploded in 1979 by Israel and South Africa, one with a history.  Identifying the weapon was easy, the size and design said “Arms Core” and “Pelandaba.”  The technology was American, the designers and builders Israeli but the uranium signature was South African.

South Africa built 10, no, not the 6 spoken of, but 10 nuclear weapons.  The rogue regime in South Africa was aided by Israel in building nuclear weapons, an arrangement that begun in 1975, one violating every international law, perhaps the single most serious crime of its type in our century.  South Africa had used germ warfare in Africa, chemical weapons, spread anthrax, plague, small pox and now, with the help of Israel, had nuclear weapons.

But, South Africa was collapsing and was going to be forced to release Nelson Mandela from prison and turn the government over to him.  They weren’t going to give Mandela 10 nuclear weapons, though.  Britain and the United Nations were approached to dismantle the program in 1990.  Specialized equipment was designed to hold the weapons in 20 foot containers and the 9 remaining weapons, after one was tested on September 22, 1979, were to be shipped to the United States to be dismantled.  6 came to America.  3 were sidetracked by Margaret Thatcher in 1991, purchased for 55 million pounds and shipped to Oman to be kept as “blackmail” to frighten Saddam, or so it was explained.  In reality, Britain hired the same arms dealers that were responsible for Iran/Contra to move the weapons.

Dr. David Kelly, once considered a suicide, now known to be a murder victim, oversaw the project.  The bombs were stolen, Kelly knew and kept his mouth shut, for awhile at least, and then threatened to go public, not just about the bombs but about a 17,8 million pound “kickback” (backhander) paid by the bomb thieves to certain prominent British politicians.  Kelly was murdered, “they” tried to cover it up and now someone in Britain is going to jail over it, probably a “patsy.”

One of these weapons exploded in North Korea, an Israeli built nuclear weapon.  It passed through the hands of South African and Saudi arms merchants, one notorious Rhodesian and, we are told, into the open arms of those who built the weapons originally, the bomb designers from Dimona.  The scary part, of course, is that these weapons are “unattributed.”  Whoever controls them, and that is Israel according to reliable sources, is now capable much “evil doing” with these weapons:

• One could be sold to a nation such as Iran or, as we have learned, North Korea, in order to foster international instability and peddle arms to both sides.  Today, Israel is one of America’s largest arms suppliers and the not so secret supplier for all armaments North Korea currently has in its arsenal, from American cluster bombs to German built submarines.  Israel’s primary business has always been selling weapons to rogue nations and North Korea is now customer #1.

• With “secret” missing nuclear weapons, Israeli intelligence can tell America:

Saddam has them and is “prepared to use them in 45 minutes” or ship them to Syria “by ambulance.”  Israel told the Bush administration both stories.  They believed the “Saddam” story but rejected the “ambulance” tale.

Iran has them and has put them in shipping containers for a false flag attack on the United States.  Israel has informed the United States of exactly this.

These weapons were shipped to Syria then to Lebanon where they were kept in a hospital X-ray room and that Hizbollah is planning to move them to Gaza where they can be smuggled by tunnels into Israel and used against the port of Haifa.  America would be forced to send in the Army Corps of Engineers to build a wall around Gaza and to support Israeli military incursions as being justified as searches for these weapons that Israel has had all along, one of which Israel sold to North Korea.

• One of these weapons could mysteriously explode in an American city unless Israel, not only received the cash payoffs it normally gets but billions of dollars of munitions, shipped to Israel by the Pentagon, which Israel is allowed to sell, according to a highly illegal secret protocol, to, well, North Korea or anyone else.  These shipments are made regularly and if the weapons stores were actually kept as the public is told, Israel would be a bomb warehouse from one end to the other.

CLEANING HOUSE

America is now, officially, two camps.  Fox News viewers, America’s most conservative and typically, most volatile “news junkies” are now being told that the 9/11 investigation was a coverup and the Building 7 demolition is proof of a massive conspiracy.  For America’s #1 news source to go this far, not on one show but two of their top rated journalists, Judge Napolitano and Geraldo Rivera, has been a serious blow for all those who supported the Bush administration and believed in the “war on terror.”

No other network, no newspaper is touching this story, this “third rail” which debunks two wars, debunks “Osama bin Laden” and makes the case for America being a nation of dupes.  It doesn’t just stop at America.  Most of the world got “sucked in” on 9/11, buying in on an even that now has gone from historical milestone as a disaster to the greatest scam in world history.

Bush admissions, though it is doubtful he understand the nature of such admissions and the criminal implications, over Iran and his willingness to send Americans to a hopeless war for his personal aggrandizement are only part of a pattern of which 9/11 itself was a part.  If, as Fox News claims, Building 7 was a controlled demolition, then all of 9/11 was staged.  Any other assumption is insane.  The only questions are whether to leap to blaming Israel as so many are willing or to see Bush himself as a prime mover.  Neither choice is likely to be promoted by either a government in bed with the Israel lobby, AIPAC, or still led by those who likely to be prosecuted.

THE NUCLEAR SHAM

The media has started in, on Iran and North Korea.  Again, Iran is “5 minutes away from being a nuclear power” and North Korea is ready to invade the South, armies on the move, donkeys fueled up, starving troops armed to the teeth.

Both nations, friendless, easy targets for American military technology, easy targets for the carefully orchestrated world press, serve one real purpose, to deflect attention from the thieves, the torturers, the drug barons, the ethnic cleansing in Gaza, from a dozen stories, especially from the ticking time bomb of 9/11.

With the world coming down around America, Afghanistan a hopeless quagmire, even by “Vietnam” standards, the dollar in free fall, AIPAC spying openly revealed in civil proceedings and Americans, by the million, abandoning traditional news media, the “nuclear option,” an attack on an American city by, well, Americans themselves, with or without Israel, becomes more likely.

The mechanisms are there, spy organizations, controlled press, a quick and dirty “whitewash” investigation such as with 9/11 “in the can.”

“Black ops” and intelligence groups, now little more than criminal fronts, psychopaths, misfits and degenerates of every kind, exist by the dozen, funded with billions in taxpayer revenue, defense, intelligence and, of course, the flood of drug money pouring in from Afghanistan.

What is believed by those Americans that other Americans should revile and fear?  It is believed that the only way of “moving forward” is the extreme path, totalitarianism, more government, fewer rights, gun seizures and, perhaps even those FEMA camps that “internet nutcases” and “conspiracy theory” types talk about.

The remainder of the Bush/Cheney gang are slowly becoming hunted animals. 

They see it even if many Americans don’t.  Hunted animals are capable of anything.

NTS Notes:  The key points in this article that I was not aware of until I read this article for myself, is the information that the United States conveniently "misplaced" or "lost" between 3-8 Hydrogen bombs off of Somalia back in the early 1990's, and some of that material as well as the missing South African-Israeli built nuclear bombs may have made its way to North Korea through the criminal arms dealers...

I have already put up many articles in the last while as a warning to Americans that the Israeli Mossad has at least one clandestine South African built nuclear bomb hiding somewhere in the continental United States, and that they may use it shortly in a nuclear terrorist attack to be blamed on Iran.   This is the most sinister method of getting Israel's long wanted war against Iran, and getting American soldiers to fight and die for them, off and running....All I can say is: Be warned!

America: The Grim Truth

Growing up in Canada, I was always subjected to a constant barrage of news reports, articles, entertainment shows, sporting events, etc.. that always pictured the United States of America as being the best country on the planet.   Maybe at some point years ago, that may have been true, but after years of seeing the real truth, reality has set in....America is a mess.  That once great nation is rapidly sliding into tyranny and its citizens are either too drugged up, brainwashed, or too complacent to do anything to stop it from happening!

To further show the real truth about America, I want to turn to a great article that I found through the website: www.cluborlov.blogspot.com, entitled: "America: The Grim Truth", and it is a real eye opener.  I am enclosing that entire article right here for my own readers to view:

America—The Grim Truth

[Guest post by Anonymous. I was planning to write something a bit like this, but found that someone has done some of my work for me. Please give it a read, while I concentrate on the part of the topic that interests me the most: "What's Keeping You Here?"]

[Update: Judging from a lot of the comments, many people seem to think that the rest of the planet might not offer any good places for American former middle class persons to continue to pretend that they are successful. I don't find this particularly relevant; the life of a refugee is rarely comfortable. Some people even think that the US military is somehow going to be helpful moving forward, (by stealing other countries' oil, I suppose). I can't think of an occasion when it was helpful, being incapable of victory and a huge waste of resources. Apparently, to stay in the US is to stay in denial; perhaps that is what it takes to make the continuous psychological trauma of living in this country bearable. The one encouraging sign is that this condition is curable: not a single expat has voiced anything but complete and enthusiastic agreement with this article.]

Americans, I have some bad news for you:

You have the worst quality of life in the developed world—by a wide margin.

If you had any idea of how people really lived in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many parts of Asia, you’d be rioting in the streets calling for a better life. In fact, the average Australian or Singaporean taxi driver has a much better standard of living than the typical American white-collar worker.

I know this because I am an American, and I escaped from the prison you call home.

I have lived all around the world, in wealthy countries and poor ones, and there is only one country I would never consider living in again: The United States of America. The mere thought of it fills me with dread.

Consider this: you are the only people in the developed world without a single-payer health system. Everyone in Western Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand has a single-payer system. If they get sick, they can devote all their energies to getting well. If you get sick, you have to battle two things at once: your illness and the fear of financial ruin. Millions of Americans go bankrupt every year due to medical bills, and tens of thousands die each year because they have no insurance or insufficient insurance. And don’t believe for a second that rot about America having the world’s best medical care or the shortest waiting lists: I’ve been to hospitals in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Singapore, and Thailand, and every one was better than the “good” hospital I used to go to back home. The waits were shorter, the facilities more comfortable, and the doctors just as good.

This is ironic, because you need a good health system more than anyone else in the world. Why? Because your lifestyle is almost designed to make you sick.

Let’s start with your diet: Much of the beef you eat has been exposed to fecal matter in processing. Your chicken is contaminated with salmonella. Your stock animals and poultry are pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics. In most other countries, the government would act to protect consumers from this sort of thing; in the United States, the government is bought off by industry to prevent any effective regulations or inspections. In a few years, the majority of all the produce for sale in the United States will be from genetically modified crops, thanks to the cozy relationship between Monsanto Corporation and the United States government. Worse still, due to the vast quantities of high-fructose corn syrup Americans consume, fully one-third of children born in the United States today will be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at some point in their lives.

Of course, it’s not just the food that’s killing you, it’s the drugs. If you show any sign of life when you’re young, they’ll put you on Ritalin. Then, when you get old enough to take a good look around, you’ll get depressed, so they’ll give you Prozac. If you’re a man, this will render you chemically impotent, so you’ll need Viagra to get it up. Meanwhile, your steady diet of trans-fat-laden food is guaranteed to give you high cholesterol, so you’ll get a prescription for Lipitor. Finally, at the end of the day, you’ll lay awake at night worrying about losing your health plan, so you’ll need Lunesta to go to sleep.

With a diet guaranteed to make you sick and a health system designed to make sure you stay that way, what you really need is a long vacation somewhere. Unfortunately, you probably can’t take one. I’ll let you in on little secret: if you go to the beaches of Thailand, the mountains of Nepal, or the coral reefs of Australia, you’ll probably be the only American in sight. And you’ll be surrounded crowds of happy Germans, French, Italians, Israelis, Scandinavians and wealthy Asians. Why? Because they’re paid well enough to afford to visit these places AND they can take vacations long enough to do so. Even if you could scrape together enough money to go to one of these incredible places, by the time you recovered from your jetlag, it would time to get on a plane and rush back to your job.

If you think I’m making this up, check the stats on average annual vacation days by country:

Finland: 44
Italy: 42
France: 39
Germany: 35
UK: 25
Japan: 18
USA: 12

The fact is, they work you like dogs in the United States. This should come as no surprise: the United States never got away from the plantation/sweat shop labor model and any real labor movement was brutally suppressed. Unless you happen to be a member of the ownership class, your options are pretty much limited to barely surviving on service-sector wages or playing musical chairs for a spot in a cubicle (a spot that will be outsourced to India next week anyway). The very best you can hope for is to get a professional degree and then milk the system for a slice of the middle-class pie. And even those who claw their way into the middle class are but one illness or job loss away from poverty. Your jobs aren’t secure. Your company has no loyalty to you. They’ll play you off against your coworkers for as long as it suits them, then they’ll get rid of you.

Of course, you don’t have any choice in the matter: the system is designed this way. In most countries in the developed world, higher education is either free or heavily subsidized; in the United States, a university degree can set you back over US$100,000. Thus, you enter the working world with a crushing debt. Forget about taking a year off to travel the world and find yourself – you’ve got to start working or watch your credit rating plummet.

If you’re “lucky,” you might even land a job good enough to qualify you for a home loan. And then you’ll spend half your working life just paying the interest on the loan – welcome to the world of American debt slavery. America has the illusion of great wealth because there’s a lot of “stuff” around, but who really owns it? In real terms, the average American is poorer than the poorest ghetto dweller in Manila, because at least they have no debts. If they want to pack up and leave, they can; if you want to leave, you can’t, because you’ve got debts to pay.

All this begs the question: Why would anyone put up with this? Ask any American and you’ll get the same answer: because America is the freest country on earth. If you believe this, I’ve got some more bad news for you: America is actually among the least free countries on earth. Your piss is tested, your emails and phone calls are monitored, your medical records are gathered, and you are never more than one stray comment away from writhing on the ground with two Taser prongs in your ass.

And that’s just physical freedom. Mentally, you are truly imprisoned. You don’t even know the degree to which you are tormented by fears of medical bankruptcy, job loss, homelessness and violent crime because you’ve never lived in a country where there is no need to worry about such things.

But it goes much deeper than mere surveillance and anxiety. The fact is, you are not free because your country has been taken over and occupied by another government. Fully 70% of your tax dollars go to the Pentagon, and the Pentagon is the real government of the United States. You are required under pain of death to pay taxes to this occupying government. If you’re from the less fortunate classes, you are also required to serve and die in their endless wars, or send your sons and daughters to do so. You have no choice in the matter: there is a socioeconomic draft system in the United States that provides a steady stream of cannon fodder for the military.

If you call a life of surveillance, anxiety and ceaseless toil in the service of a government you didn’t elect “freedom,” then you and I have a very different idea of what that word means.

If there was some chance that the country could be changed, there might be reason for hope. But can you honestly look around and conclude that anything is going to change? Where would the change come from? The people? Take a good look at your compatriots: the working class in the United States has been brutally propagandized by jackals like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. Members of the working class have been taught to lick the boots of their masters and then bend over for another kick in the ass. They’ve got these people so well trained that they’ll take up arms against the other half of the working class as soon as their masters give the word.

If the people cannot make a change, how about the media? Not a chance. From Fox News to the New York Times, the mass media in the United States is nothing but the public relations wing of the corporatocracy, primarily the military industrial complex. At least the citizens of the former Soviet Union knew that their news was bullshit. In America, you grow up thinking you’ve got a free media, which makes the propaganda doubly effective. If you don’t think American media is mere corporate propaganda, ask yourself the following question: have you ever heard a major American news outlet suggest that the country could fund a single-payer health system by cutting military spending?

If change can’t come from the people or the media, the only other potential source of change would be the politicians. Unfortunately, the American political process is among the most corrupt in the world. In every country on earth, one expects politicians to take bribes from the rich. But this generally happens in secret, behind the closed doors of their elite clubs. In the United States, this sort of political corruption is done in broad daylight, as part of legal, accepted, standard operating procedure. In the United States, they merely call these bribes campaign donations, political action committees and lobbyists. One can no more expect the politicians to change this system than one can expect a man to take an axe and chop his own legs out from underneath him.

No, the United States of America is not going to change for the better. The only change will be for the worse. And when I say worse, I mean much worse. As we speak, the economic system that sustained the country during the post-war years is collapsing. The United States maxed out its “credit card” sometime in 2008 and now its lenders, starting with China, are in the process of laying the foundations for a new monetary system to replace the Anglo-American “petro-dollar” system. As soon as there is a viable alternative to the US dollar, the greenback will sink like a stone.

While the United States was running up crushing levels of debt, it was also busy shipping its manufacturing jobs and white-collar jobs overseas, and letting its infrastructure fall to pieces. Meanwhile, Asian and European countries were investing in education, infrastructure and raw materials. Even if the United States tried to rebuild a real economy (as opposed to a service/financial economy) do think American workers would ever be able to compete with the workers of China or Europe? Have you ever seen a Japanese or German factory? Have you ever met a Singaporean or Chinese worker?

There are only two possible futures facing the United States, and neither one is pretty. The best case is a slow but orderly decline – essentially a continuation of what’s been happening for the last two decades. Wages will drop, unemployment will rise, Medicare and Social Security benefits will be slashed, the currency will decline in value, and the disparity of wealth will spiral out of control until the United States starts to resemble Mexico or the Philippines – tiny islands of wealth surrounded by great poverty (the country is already halfway there).

Equally likely is a sudden collapse, perhaps brought about by a rapid flight from the US dollar by creditor nations like China, Japan, Korea and the OPEC nations. A related possibility would be a default by the United States government on its vast debt. One look at the financial balance sheet of the US government should convince you how likely this is: governmental spending is skyrocketing and tax receipts are plummeting – something has to give. If either of these scenarios plays out, the resulting depression will make the present recession look like a walk in the park.

Whether the collapse is gradual or gut-wrenchingly sudden, the results will be chaos, civil strife and fascism. Let’s face it: the United States is like the former Yugoslavia – a collection of mutually antagonistic cultures united in name only. You’ve got your own version of the Taliban: right-wing Christian fundamentalists who actively loathe the idea of secular Constitutional government. You’ve got a vast intellectual underclass that has spent the last few decades soaking up Fox News and talk radio propaganda, eager to blame the collapse on Democrats, gays and immigrants. You’ve got a ruthless ownership class that will use all the means at its disposal to protect its wealth from the starving masses.

On top of all that you’ve got vast factory farms, sprawling suburbs and a truck-based shipping system, all of it entirely dependent on oil that is about to become completely unaffordable. And you’ve got guns. Lots of guns. In short: the United States is about to become a very unwholesome place to be.

Right now, the government is building fences and walls along its northern and southern borders. Right now, the government is working on a national ID system (soon to be fitted with biometric features). Right now, the government is building a surveillance state so extensive that they will be able to follow your every move, online, in the street and across borders. If you think this is just to protect you from “terrorists,” then you’re sadly mistaken. Once the shit really hits the fan, do you really think you’ll just be able to jump into the old station wagon, drive across the Canadian border and spend the rest of your days fishing and drinking Molson? No, the government is going to lock the place down. They don’t want their tax base escaping. They don’t want their “recruits” escaping. They don’t want YOU escaping.

I am not writing this to scare you. I write this to you as a friend. If you are able to read and understand what I’ve written here, then you are a member of a small minority in the United States. You are a minority in a country that has no place for you.

So what should you do?

You should leave the United States of America.

If you’re young, you’ve got plenty of choices: you can teach English in the Middle East, Asia or Europe. Or you can go to university or graduate school abroad and start building skills that will qualify you for a work visa. If you’ve already got some real work skills, you can apply to emigrate to any number of countries as a skilled immigrant. If you are older and you’ve got some savings, you can retire to a place like Costa Rica or the Philippines. If you can’t qualify for a work, student or retirement visa, don’t let that stop you – travel on a tourist visa to a country that appeals to you and talk to the expats you meet there. Whatever you do, go speak to an immigration lawyer as soon as you can. Find out exactly how to get on a path that will lead to permanent residence and eventually citizenship in the country of your choice.

You will not be alone. There are millions of Americans just like me living outside the United States. Living lives much more fulfilling, peaceful, free and abundant than we ever could have attained back home. Some of us happened upon these lives by accident – we tried a year abroad and found that we liked it – others made a conscious decision to pack up and leave for good. You’ll find us in Canada, all over Europe, in many parts of Asia, in Australia and New Zealand, and in most other countries of the globe. Do we miss our friends and family? Yes. Do we occasionally miss aspects of our former country? Yes. Do we plan on ever living again in the United States? Never. And those of us with permanent residence or citizenship can sponsor family members from back home for long-term visas in our adopted countries.

In closing, I want to remind you of something: unless you are an American Indian or a descendant of slaves, at some point your ancestors chose to leave their homeland in search of a better life. They weren’t traitors and they weren’t bad people, they just wanted a better life for themselves and their families. Isn’t it time that you continue their journey?

NTS Notes:  One major fact that is missing in this article is the total control of the United States government and its foreign policy by the criminal state of Israel.  Other than that, the information presented is absolutely factual.

This is a real wake up call for my American readers.... Their once proud nation today is a shadow of its former self, and most Americans are doing absolutely nothing to stop the slide into tyranny.

Solutions?   One major point that I and others have always stressed is the necessity for America to end its debt enslavement by ending the fractional reserve debt based system imposed by the criminal Federal Reserve System.   Once that is done, the next step is to automatically canceling the debt owed to criminal private bankers immediately.  Taking money away from these criminals and putting it into the hands of the American citizens would do wonders in rebooting that nation!

Again, please feel free to comment at any time on this and any other articles in my blog.

American Thanksgiving: A Thanksgiving Message From Gaza!

Well, its American Thanksgiving in the United States.  (Canada had its Thanksgiving back at the beginning of October)  This is supposed to be a time for friends and family to gather together to celebrate the good lives they have with good food and good hospitality.

However, while Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving, the Palestinian people in the Israeli prison camp called Gaza are barely scraping by in their daily lives.   Recently  I put up several articles that show how the Israelis, besides murdering the Palestinians in Gaza indiscriminately, are also conducting a policy of slow starvation for these people.   It is disgusting to see how the world continues to turn a blind eye to the plight of the 1.5 million people locked up in Gaza!

To further understand the real plight of Gaza, I want to turn to a great article that was put up by a fellow truth seeker, Desert Peace, at www.desertpeace.wordpress.com, entitled: "A Thanksgiving Message From Gaza".   Here is that article in its entirety:

A THANKSGIVING MESSAGE FROM GAZA

November 25, 2010 at 07:38

As you Americans sit down with your family on this Thanksgiving Day, think of the Gazans that have nothing to thank you for. Think of the over 1500 citizens of Gaza that were murdered with weapons made in your country. Think of the additional 3 BILLION dollars that will be spent on warplanes bound to Israel soon to continue the process of genocide.

As you look at the glowing faces of your beautiful children think of the over 5 hundred children in Gaza whose lives were snuffed out because you didn’t care enough to tell your government to STOP SUPPORTING GENOCIDE.

As you enjoy your good health think of the people of Gaza who are denied the basic humanitarian needs including medical supplies, thanks to a siege and blockade that your government has supported from day 1.

Image by Latuff

The following video will help you think about those things mentioned above….. pass your laptop around the dinner table today and share it with your guests…. it’s a must see for all Americans.

 

YOUR SILENCE HAS KILLED ~~ YOUR CONTINUED SILENCE CONTINUES TO KILL!

NTS Notes:   So while my American readers sit down for a meal to celebrate their good fortunes, many quickly forget about the suffering endured by these proud  people at the hands of Zionist Israeli criminality and cruelty.

Yes, Americans have plenty to be thankful for.   At least they are not suffering like the 1.5 million people of Gaza do every day!

Why Are Jews Persecuted?

I and others in the real truth movement have been coming under increasing slander and hate for our outing of the crimes that have been committed against humanity by the criminal Zionist Jewish "chosen" and "elite".   I figure that I would put up at least one article periodically that clears some of the misconceptions in that regard.

For this article, I want to turn to a fine piece that I just came across through a website: www.celibacy.info, entitled: "Why Are Jews Persecuted?", and I am going to present that entire article right here for my own readers to view in its entirety:

Why Are Jews Persecuted?
     By Jayne Gardener  ~~ Originally posted at Rense.com

I always used to wonder what it was about Jews that made people throughout history despise them. If they were indeed "God's chosen" I thought, they had to be the unluckiest people in the history of the world.
 
Why were they persecuted throughout history?
 
Why had the Nazis herded them into cattle cars and taken them to "extermination camps" to dispose once and for all of the "Jewish problem?"
 
I suddenly recognized that if Hitler had developed a "Final Solution" to the Jewish question, that there had to have been a "Jewish Problem." Could the Jews have in any way behaved in such a manner that would make the countries in which they resided turn against them, or were they just unfortunate, innocent victims?
 
I set out to find answers for my questions, mainly turning to the Internet, but also reading various books on the subject. What I found became increasingly disturbing to me.
 
I had not known that throughout history, the Jews had been expelled from 79 countries, some countries more than once.
 
I had not known that many of the claims they made about the Holocaust that I had believed unquestioningly for so long were in fact fraudulent.
 
The books I had read and the movies I had seen about the "Holocaust" and wept over were nothing but thinly veiled attempts to garner unwavering sympathy for the state of Israel and an excuse to extort billions of dollars from Germany and 1.25 billion dollars from the Swiss banks.
 
I discovered that a book I had read many times as a teenager and cried about, Anne Frank's Diary, had been at least partially written by someone other than Anne Frank.
 
I learned that the confessions at the Nuremburg Trials and the executions of so many German "war criminals" were were extracted under torture and the defendants were being tried, judged and condemned by their very accusers.
 
I learned about the "false flag" operations, especially the Lavon affair and the tragedy of the USS Liberty, an American ship that was attacked by the Israelis during the 1967 war. 34 young American men were killed and many more wounded.
 
To add insult to injury, the Israelis claimed that it was simply an unfortunate case of mistaken identity, something the survivors of the Liberty have always vehemently denied. They, however, were threatened with court martial if they were ever to tell their stories.
 
I learned about the Jonathan Pollard spy case and other incidents of Israeli Jews spying against their supposed "closest ally."
 
I became shocked and horrified as I learned about the treatment of the Palestinian people in the occupied territories at the hands of the Israeli Defense Forces and the Jewish settlers. Israel purports to be the only democracy in the middle east, but it's only a democracy for Jews. Non-Jews are not considered equal.
 
I was saddened to see pictures of innocent Palestinian children burned beyond recognition or suffering from serious gunshot wounds after being targeted by the IDF for no other reason than that they are Palestinian.
 
I found out about the Jewish history of avariciousness, larceny, lying, manipulation and their questionable and usurious business practices.
 
I learned about their roles in the radical homosexual movement, the radical feminist movement, the pornography industry as well as their over-representation in the abortion industry.
 
I discovered their role in organized crime, in the slave trade, in the civil rights movement and in Communism, an ideology that is responsible for the deaths of untold millions and the repression of many millions more.
 
I learned that it was Jewish supremacists behind the war against Christianity and Christmas. It is they who want God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and all symbols of Christianity removed from public life.
 
They have driven Christianity from the public schools despite Christianity being the majority religion.
 
They have taken Christmas out of the public school calendar despite the fact that it is a statutory holiday and it is named Christmas.
 
I read about the anti-Gentilism and hatefulness of the Babylonian Talmud and their utter disrespect for, and hostility towards Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and Christianity and Christians in general.
 
I learned about their "chutzpah" in claiming that Gentile lives were worth no more than the lives of barnyard animals but that they considered Jewish lives to be akin to God Himself. It's okay to steal from a Gentile or to kill a Gentile, but Jewish lives are sacred.
 
I learned of their control of the majority of wealth, the media and academia despite them making up less than 2% of the population (even lower in Canada).
 
They are behind the ridiculous political correctness movement and hate crime legislation that was drafted so as to silence anyone who might figure out their agenda and attempt to shed light on it.
 
Men like German Rudolf, David Irving and many more, previously recognized as great historians, were arrested, charged with hate crimes and incarcerated simply for having made academic inquiry into a specific period of history.
 
Other so called "revisionists" or "holocaust deniers" have been intimidated, harassed, assaulted and smeared simply for trying to get at the truth.
 
I found out that the Jews are responsible for our wide open immigration policies that have created the nightmare we call "multiculturalism," "diversity," inclusiveness" and "pluralism."
 
It is mostly they who push for race mixing and miscegenation, knowing full well that it would eventually lead to those of white European descent being minorities in their own countries and the eventual extermination of white European DNA.
 
It is patently clear that the war in Iraq is due solely to Israel wanting to hobble her enemies by destabilizing their governments in order to achieve hegemony in the middle east.
 
It would be unthinkable for Israeli Jews to die for this cause, so they manipulated the US into the war with the help of the Jewish Zionist "Israel firsters" in the Bush administration in order that the blood of way too many young American men and women is shed instead.
 
It is they who control the middle eastern foreign policy of the most powerful country in the world, the USA. It is they who control congress, the senate and the puppet president, George W. Bush.
 
They have such control in movies and television that we are now subjected to endless programs and Hollywood movies that mock Christianity, Christian values and degrade the traditional family.
 
After sober reflection on what I had discovered about Jewish supremacy and Zionism, I had to abandon all my previously held notions as to the history of Jewish persecution.
 
What I have trouble understanding is why they continue this behavior in whichever society they live, knowing that eventually they will overplay their hand and their perfidy will be exposed yet again.Has history taught them nothing?
 
As more and more people become aware of what is going on and who is responsible for it, anger is going to rise as it already has in the former Soviet Union and eastern European countries.
 
They may control television, movies and the print media, but they don't control the internet. At least not yet. Blogs and websites devoted to "outing" the Jewish supremacists will ultimately be their downfall.
 
If everyone who sees this information passes it on to at least one other person, the crimes and misdeeds of the Jewish supremacists and Zionists will be exposed. Please, do your part. Pass it on. Our world as we know it is counting on you.

Note:

 This article doesn't even touch the subject of 9-11. Once 9-11 is understood for the Zionist false-flag attack and mass-murder that it was, with a completely false reality erected by a Zionist-controlled media, you should understand that it is time to wake up and that the White Gentile peoples and nations are in serious trouble.

NTS Notes:  This is an excellent article that explains in great detail the truth as to why nations have constantly persecuted these people... It is not because of their "race" or "religion" but because of their actions!

It is no secret that this "tribe" has been kicked out of nations 79 times in recorded history.  They operate as a close knit group that has one single goal in mind... Their dominance over the rest of mankind!   How can anyone not see that this type of evil mindset is what causes their persecution?

For those who continue to slander and hate those, including myself, that are willing to fight to have the truth told, you are free to comment at any time on the material presented.

The War In Afghanistan Is Lost: Be Under No Illusion, NATO Is In NO Shape To Make Progress In This Graveyard Of Empires

The war in Afghanistan has been lost by the United States and its NATO allies for quite some time now.   It was formulated on total lies in the first place, because the Rothschilds in Europe were desperate to keep the Afghan Opium flowing for their evil criminal profits and demanded that their minions and slave nations to go into Afghanistan to get the poppy fields back into full production.   Now, 9 years after the American led invasion of that nation, the United States and their NATO allies are losing the battle to the true freedom fighters, the Taliban for control of the entire nation.  

For a better understanding of the present situation in Afghanistan, I want to present the following article by Patrick Cockburn, from The Independent online news service out of the UK at www.independent.co.uk, entitled: "Be Under No Illusion, Nato Is In No Shape To Make Progress In This Graveyard Of Empires".   I want to present that entire article here, with my comments to follow:

Patrick Cockburn: Be under no illusion, Nato is in 

no shape to make progress in this graveyard of 

empires

Saturday, 20 November 2010

If Iraq was bad, Afghanistan is going to be worse. Nothing said or done at the Lisbon conference, which is largely an exercise in self-deception, is going to make this better and it may well make it worse.

It is not just that the war is going badly, but that Nato's need to show progress has produced a number of counter-productive quick fixes likely to deepen the violence. These dangerous initiatives include setting up local militias to fight the Taliban where government forces are weak. These are often guns-for-hire provided by local warlords who prey on ordinary Afghans.

The US military has been making much of its strategy of assassinating mid-level Taliban commanders, but one study on the ground showed that many of these are men highly regarded in their communities. It concluded that killing them infuriated local people and led to many of them being recruited by the Taliban.

The US commander in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, will tell Nato leaders today of his plan to start handing over responsibility for security in some areas to the Afghan government in 2011. This sounds like wishful thinking on the part of General Petraeus and his selection of target dates is primarily to avoid accusations that Nato has no idea when or how it will get out.

The Taliban currently controls or has influence in half of Afghanistan. While US reinforcements have been pouring into Helmand and Kandahar provinces, the Taliban have been expanding their enclaves in the north.

The whole idea of handing over security to the Afghan government is based on a rapid expansion of the Afghan army to 171,000 men and the police to 134,000. Not only are these new recruits likely to be poorly trained, but they will be drawn from the largely anti-Taliban Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara communities. The Pashtun, 42 per cent of Afghans and the community from which the Taliban is largely drawn, will feel ever more victimised.

The differences between the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan underline that the latter is more dangerous for foreign occupiers. In Iraq the anti-US guerrillas sprang from Sunni Arabs, a community to which less than one in five Iraqis belonged. The post-Saddam government in Baghdad was supported by the Kurds and the Shia, making up four-fifths of the population. Afghans are more xenophobic than Iraqis. "Suspicion of foreigners is part of every Afghan's DNA," said a Western diplomat in Kabul.

The Nato leaders in Lisbon may want to consider two other respects in which Afghanistan may prove a more dangerous country. The Afghan government is much feebler than its equivalent in Baghdad where there is a tradition of central control and $60bn in oil revenues. Militarily, what defeated the Soviet army in Afghanistan was not the warlike prowess of the Afghans but the 2,500km long border with Pakistan. So long as this remains open, and the insurgents have safe havens in Pakistan, Nato and the Afghan government are not going to win.

NTS Notes:  Afghanistan has always been the graveyard of empires.  Historians will point out that the British, the Russians, and now the Americans, have all failed to conquer and control the nation.  The only person in history that was able to conquer and subdue Afghanistan was Alexander the Great some 2300 years ago!   It is absolutely no wonder that for the empires that have tried to conquer Afghanistan, the result has been the collapse of the invading empires themselves.... Is America about to be the next empire to collapse because of Afghanistan?

This war was started and is continuing for all the wrong reasons. The only sane solution is for the immediate cessation of the American led occupation, and for all foreign troops to withdraw from Afghanistan immediately.   But as long as the Rothschilds want their drugs for profits flowing out of Afghanistan, there will absolutely be no withdrawal of their slave nations' forces for the foreseeable future.  

The only result of this continuing war based on lies and evil reasons will be more and more soldiers coming home broken or in body bags, the end of the American empire, and the bleeding to death of the American economy.    Is this a wake up call for Americans?  It should have been already!

America's Bribe Of 3 Billion Dollars To Israel Stinks Of Appeasement

The recent offer (bribe) of 3 BILLION dollars of US taxpayer money in the form of military hardware and other goodies to the criminal state of Israel in return for a phony promise of 90 days of settlement "freeze" has stunk to high heaven since it was first offered by the US recently.   Israel itself has absolutely not been doing any "freeze" of their illegal settlement building in the occupied West Bank, and instead has actually been accelerating their criminal program.    Therefore this insane offer by the United States is a total sham and a complete fraud!

To show how other nations look upon this disgusting display of total American servitude to the criminal state of Israel, I want to present the following article from Robert Fisk, through the Belfast Telegraph out of Northern Ireland at www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk, entitled: "America's 3 Billion Dollar Bribe To Israel Stinks Of Appeasement".   Here is that article in its entirety right here:

America's $3bn bribe to Israel stinks of appeasement

By Robert Fisk
Tuesday, 23 November 2010

In any other country, the current American bribe to Israel, and the latter's reluctance to accept it, in return for even a temporary end to the theft of somebody else's property would be regarded as preposterous.

Three billion dollars' worth of fighter bombers in return for a temporary freeze in West Bank colonisation for a mere 90 days?

Not including East Jerusalem – so goodbye to the last chance of the east of the holy city for a Palestinian capital – and, if Benjamin Netanyahu so wishes, a rip-roaring continuation of settlement on Arab land. In the ordinary sane world in which we think we live, there is only one word for Barack Obama's offer: appeasement. Usually, our lords and masters use that word with disdain and disgust.

Anyone who panders to injustice by one people against another people is called an appeaser. Anyone who prefers peace at any price, let alone a $3bn bribe to the guilty party – is an appeaser. Anyone who will not risk the consequences of standing up for international morality against territorial greed is an appeaser.

Those of us who did not want to invade Afghanistan were condemned as appeasers. Those of us who did not want to invade Iraq were vilified as appeasers. Yet that is precisely what Obama has done in his pathetic, unbelievable effort to plead with Netanyahu for just 90 days of submission to international law. Obama is an appeaser.

The fact that the West and its political and journalistic elites – I include the ever more disreputable New York Times – take this tomfoolery at face value, as if it can seriously be regarded as another "step" in the "peace process", to put this mystical nonsense "back on track", is a measure of the degree to which we have taken leave of our senses in the Middle East.

It is a sign of just how far America (and, through our failure to condemn this insanity, Europe) has allowed its fear of Israel – and how far Obama has allowed his fear of Israeli supporters in Congress and the Senate – to go.

Three billion dollars for three months is one billion dollars a month to stop Israel's colonisation. That's half a billion dollars a fortnight. That's $500m a week. That's $71,428,571 a day, or $2,976,190 an hour, or $49,603 a minute.

And as well as this pot of gold, Washington will continue to veto any resolutions critical of Israel in the UN and prevent "Palestine" from declaring itself a state. It's worth invading anyone to get that much cash to stage a military withdrawal, let alone the gracious gesture of not building more illegal colonies for only 90 days while furiously continuing illegal construction in Jerusalem at the same time.

The Hillary Clinton version of this grotesquerie would be funny if it was not tragic. According to the sharp pen of the NYT's Roger Cohen, La Clinton has convinced herself that Palestine is "achievable, inevitable and compatible with Israel's security". And what persuaded Madame Hillary of this? Why, on a trip to the pseudo-Palestine "capital" of Ramallah last year, she saw the Jewish settlements – "the brutality of it was so stark" according to one of her officials – but thought her motorcade was being guarded by the Israeli army because "they're so professional". And then, lo and behold, they turned out to be a Palestinian military guard, a "professional outfit" – and all this changed Madame's views!

Quite apart from the fact that the Israeli army is a rabble, and that indeed, the Palestinians are a rabble too, this "road to Ramallah" incident led supporters of Madame, according to Cohen, to realise that there had been a transition "from a self-pitying, self-dramatising Palestinian psyche, with all the cloying accoutrements of victimhood, to a self-affirming culture of pragmatism and institution-building". Palestinian "prime minister" Salam Fayyad, educated in the US so, naturally, a safe pair of hands, has put "growth before grumbling, roads before ranting, and security before everything".

Having been occupied by a brutal army for 43 years, those wretched, dispossessed Palestinians, along with their cousins in the West Bank who have been homeless for 62 years, have at last stopped ranting and grumbling and feeling sorry for themselves and generally play-acting in order to honour the only thing that matters. Not justice. Certainly not democracy, but to the one God which Christians, Jews and Muslims are all now supposed to worship: security.

Yes, they have joined the true brotherhood of mankind. Israel will be safe at last. That this infantile narrative now drives the woman who told us 11 years ago that Jerusalem was "the eternal and indivisible capital of Israel" proves that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has now reached its apogee, its most treacherous and final moment. And if Netanyahu has any sense – I'm talking abut the Zionist, expansionist kind – he will wait out the 90 days, then thumb his nose at the US. In the three months of "good behaviour", of course, the Palestinians will have to bite the bullet and sit down to "peace" talks which will decide the future borders of Israel and "Palestine". But since Israel controls 62 per cent of the West Bank this leaves Fayyad and his chums about 10.9 per cent of mandate Palestine to argue about.

And at the cost of $827 a second, they'd better do some quick grovelling. They will. We should all hang our heads in shame. But we won't. It's not about people. It's about presentation. It's not about justice. It's about "security". And cash. Lots of it. Goodbye Palestine.

NTS Notes:  "Appeasement" is not the term I would use for this BS deal...I have many other terms that I would use, but I do not want to list them here because of their profanity!

This phony deal is indeed disgusting to behold.    Israel basically gets free American military hardware, and a guarantee of their continuing servitude to their interests, and in return, Israel gives absolutely nothing except more hardships and brutality to the proud people of Palestine!   What a sweet deal for the Zionist state indeed!

The American people need to wake up desperately.  This deal is a sham and a total fraud, and nothing more than another bleeding of the American taxpayers at a time when their own nation teeters towards total bankruptcy.    It is time for the American people to stand up against their own government's continuing grovelling to the criminal state of Israel!
