Congressman Assaults Student on Washington Sidewalk

Update: Rep. Bob Etheridge responds to the situation with nonsense -

“I have seen the video posted on several blogs. I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved. Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response. I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.”

Gerald Celente Breaks Down The Troubled Financial World Markets

Israel and World War III - Part 2 (The Christian/Judaic/Muslim Religious War)

Unfortunately this plays into a theme that I've been contemplating and posted on for a good five years: the endgame religious war.

At this time I wish to assert that we are in a global game of chess, for those in doubt view Zbigniew Brzezinski's The Grand Chessboard and at this moment the chess pieces are being arranged for a catastrophic war. The nature of the war might not be as obvious to those who don't view the problem from a bird's eye view, instead gaining expertise on veritable minutia from up close, but upon a grander inspection, the objective comes clearly into focus.

For years, there has been clarion calls to "unify" under religion and while the somewhat vague calls of ending violence, war, and persecution are in themselves noble goals, mankind has demonstrated a penchant for doing the exact opposite of what he intends to do. History is replete with well meaning dictators that despite their best efforts, end up causing the very thing that were attempting to avoid in the first place through actions designed to prevent that very thing from happening.

All of this does not excuse us from living in peace with our brothers, rather it demonstrates the futility of attempting to "force" peace. On it's face, the concept is oxymoronic but an understandable conclusion of those who have witnessed far too much tragedy in their myopic lives. To illustrate let us examine the words of former President Bush -

If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

Unfortunately this is a god complex held by many, self included, at one point or another in our lives. "If only I could fix the world" is the rallying cry for many collegiate bound students and beauty pageant contestants. However, this assumes many erroneous things:

1. That the "world" is "broken"
   
2. That you possess sufficient knowledge to "fix" it
3. That others will be willing participants in said "fix"
   

Many astutely acknowledge point 1 only to leapfrog point 2 directly to point 3. The problem becomes that point 2 is a major issue, not a minor one worthy of ignoring. As such, they quickly deduce that the real problem is point 3. That others are not willing participants in the Great Fix is their issue with "authority". Any attempt to dissuade the individual from implementing the Great Fix results in a host of responses from denial to derision to outright assault.

Unfortunately for us, many of our "authorities" are little more than over-reaching librarians (No offense meant for librarians) and ardent subscribers to the Great Fix theory. Their self-importance knows few bounds and their quest is true, therefore everyone who disagrees with their point 3 is the enemy.

This is true irregardless of the nature of the division, be it race, politics, gender or faith. When these individuals reach the level of "authority", their audacity often becomes limitless. Countless meetings are held and scores of individuals have died at the hands of those who would fix the world in the last century alone. Most if not all of it a waste of epic proportions.

It is in this spirit then, that we examine these individuals and their next great war. For simplicities sake, we shall call it World War III.

I will assume for the moment that the goal of this war is to effectively end all religion save the Alpha religion. This does not mean that the beliefs will cease to exist, merely that the public and "authoritative" adherence to such beliefs will eventually become the grounds for censure and eventual execution. Put another way it will most likely result in a lack of tolerance for any religion that isn't officially (governmentally) sanctioned.

The religious nature of the new war is not obvious upon first glance, primarily because neither side is trumpeting their religion as their primary reason for entering the war, but that does not deny the reality that it is there. The goal is to create a group think mentality, it's us vs. them . This will be used to not only destroy both sides, but to demonize them as well create legitimacy for their successor.

We shall examine more specifics of the parties involved in part 3.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, When is the Next AIG to Fall? - Marc Faber

2010 Bilderberg Recap

Jim Tucker delivers the goods again -

Turning to Iran, Tucker said that many Bilderberg members, including Brzezinski, were in favor of U.S. air strikes on Iran and were “leaning towards war,” although 100 per cent of members were not supportive of an attack.

“Some of them in Europe are saying no we shouldn’t do it but most of them are in favor of American air strikes on Iran,” said Tucker, adding, “They’re tilting heavily towards green lighting a U.S. attack on Iran.”

 On the Euro -

On the subject of the euro, Tucker said that the Bilderberg elitists were determined to save the single currency even as it collapsed to a new 4-year-low at $1.19 against the dollar yesterday afternoon. As we have highlighted, the globalists are panicking at the euro’s fall and the ECB keeps intervening to try and hasten its decline. If the euro were to cease to exist, it would all but derail the ultimate agenda for a global currency because the perceived stability of using one currency for a plethora of nations would be discredited.

Perhaps this sheds light on my comment from 2008 -

European Union -They will be hit by this economic downswing, but where the US will be ravaged by this downturn, the EU will "weather the storm" precisely because they are the EU. This will lead for calls to imitate them with the North American Union in order to survive.

Back to Bilderberg and gas -

“Gas prices are going to be nice and cheap this summer,” said Tucker, adding that they would start to rise again to the $4 a gallon level around November when artificial scarcity is created.

American Union -

On the march towards anti-democratic global government, Bilderberg members stated that America must be “Europeanized” and turned into a giant socialist welfare state with health rationing and higher income taxes.

And the official participant list can be found here. Notice all the bankers including the Greek financial minister George Papaconstantinou. We do know that Ben Bernake, head of the Federal Reserve attended in 2008 before all the economic crashings, the question is, was he here this year?

The Real Effect
This blog was started almost five years ago on the heels of the 2005 Bilderberg conference with some of the source material being attained from leaks during that conference.While this information proved invaluable and helped me mold some of my specific predictions, it did not form my views, only to substantiate and enumerate them.

Given that, here is my fear. While the Bilderbergs are frightened, they are not stupid. They knew years in advance that we would figure this out and have planned accordingly. I suspect that this is designed to be like one giant Judo move, using the weight of our movement against us.We must be careful and vigilant, there is no shortage of patsies and shills that the globalists are parading in front of the camera to set up the dangerous "Patriot" narrative in the minds of the sheep. We must remain vigilant against federal goading into violence by adhering to a peaceful resistance of education. This will break the conditioning.

Time is running short and the group is wasting no time in implementing their agenda as the Iranian war moves to the front burner, again. (They were denied their war in 2006.) Look for increasing conditions of hostility moving towards war with either Iran, North Korea or China outright. In order for this to work, they need to hook in Russia and China for revenge at a later date. (Say 3 and 10-ish years from now respectively.)

In addition, there is no room for a U.S. in the New Global Order, so look for our power to either be redistributed or decimated. This will be part of the new religious war that I have discussed, but the payoff is not quite here, yet.

Delegate Flashes Victory Sign

Bears Take Over - Full Routing In the Economy

Can you see the United States economy? It's the salmon on the right -

Stocks fell to their lowest level in seven months Monday after traders couldn't shake fears that Europe's economic problems will derail a global recovery.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 115 points, or 1.2 percent, to its lowest close since November. The Dow lost 323 Friday after the government's May jobs report fell short of expectations.
Broader indexes logged steeper percentage drops Monday. The technology-focused Nasdaq composite index fell 2 percent.
Monday's drop was a smaller-scale repeat of Friday as traders again dumped stocks in the final hour. That signals traders would rather sell than be hit by surprises, especially because Europe's business day begins before trading opens in the U.S. Some traders say the slide has been overdone but that the market isn't likely to find much stability until there is a better sense about how Europe's economies will hold up under heavy cost-cutting.

The Real Effect
Here's a hint, it's not going to hold up under heavy cost-cutting seeing as how you are slitting the neck of the goose! It amazes me that they are unable either to see or acknowledge that it's primarily government spending that is killing the patient. Let us return to our sugar analogy of 2008.

Imagine for a moment that your patient is alive, but only because of the sugar doses which are at near fatal levels. Continually introducing more sugar keeps the patient alive, sort of. While stopping the symptoms of death, it is actually the causation of the destruction in the body. The correct response is NOT to remove the sugar at this moment as it will flatline the patient, but to stabilize the patients own nutrients. Give the man a tax-cut sandwich for heaven's sake!

This will not remove the immediate problems but will set the stage for removal of stimulus later. In plain English, if you remove the government stimulus now, the results will be immediate and painful death. If you remove barriers to production, the positive results will be fast and furious. Cut taxes on capitol gains, gasoline, eliminate income and property taxes and above all repudiate all interest on the national debt as fraudulent and odious.

Of course this will bankrupt some banks, but they are walking dead anyhow only propped up by the corpses of the American taxpayer.

Euro "Contagion" Spreads - Connecticut Takes a Ratings Hit

Oh how the mighty have fallen -

Connecticut is preparing to borrow $956 million to close a budget gap in the fiscal year beginning July 1, after borrowing money last year to cover a deficit of $947.6 million. Not good. Fitch has reduced the states credit rating from AA+ to AA.

“The downgrade reflects the state’s reduced financial flexibility, illustrated by its reliance on sizable debt issuances during the current biennium to close operating gaps in the context of already high liabilities,” Fitch said.

Connecticut is the wealthiest state on a per capita basis with personal income of $54,397 in 2009, according to Department of Commerce. 

 The Real Effect
Remember this?

Look for default to begin causing defaults across the globe as this crescendos into a global sell off.

Or this?

Look for States to get desperate as the lines get drawn in the sand. With increased pressure on the States to balance their budgets (Oh the horror!) and the plebs being instructed to make double the bricks with less straw, the US starts to resemble the situations over in Europe more and more.

 Remember, this is how things started with Greece and the officials told them it was "all fine".

World Govt Non-Elect: Engdahl on Bilderberg

Israel and World War III - Part 1

 January 1, 2006 -

Yet on the horizon still looms North Korea and most likely China. Perhaps 2009?

Wednesday, February 22, 2006 -

I believe that this has moved past the propaganda phase and has moved into the implementation phase where they will drive the world into a religious war in an attempt to harmonize the religions into peace. Problem, reaction, solution.

Wednesday, June 28, 2006 -

This situation in the Gaza strip has got me a tad bit worried. It seems like an absolute powder keg waiting to go off. This could evolve into an extremely dangerous situation.

Sunday, July 16, 2006 -

I see the situation as going a little something like this:

• Israel continues to assert their right to "defend themselves". Something that they have been virtually unwilling to do for the last twenty years.
• This leads to more and more involvement with neighboring nations such as Syria, Iran and to a lesser extent China, Russia, Venezuela and North Korea.
• Hezbollah continues to schalack Israeli cities. (Tel Aviv told to be on rocket alert)
• Other countries begin to remove their people and send in peacekeepers/forces to assist which inevitably become targets. (U.S. Evacuation Teams Arrive in Lebanon)
• Fixed intelligence links the aforementioned nations of Iran, Syria and then Russia and company justifying war. (Bush Suspicious of Iranians) 

Tuesday, September 12, 2006 -

Of course I have stated repeatedly that Iran and Syria are in the crosshairs and that is only a matter of time.

Thursday, September 13, 2007 -

I have said and will say again that this is escalation warfare designed to destroy the American will and ultimately the United States itself. With the logical progression being: Afghanistan -> Iraq -> Iran/Syria -> North Korea -> China/Russia(Japan?)  

December 18, 2009 -

In 1931, the official unemployment rate was 24.9%. It took a world war to bring it down to 4.7%. Will it take another war to bring the unemployment rate down again?

Tuesday, March 02, 2010 -

All the chess pieces are being set in place: the angry robbed world public, the warring nations (Israel,Gaza, Iran, Syria, US, Russia, China, Pakistan, India), the spiritual void, all of this will give way to a great war which will dwarf all wars up until this point. At which point a great Phoenix event will occur which will burn the world into adoring submission. 

Friday, March 05, 2010 -

Look for this area (Jerusalem) to become the stumbling block for the whole world as the Phoenix event is set into motion. Perhaps I will illustrate the concept more thoroughly in a later post. Until then, look for rhetoric and action to ratchet upwards like runners positioning in a race. Once the gun fires, watch out for the fireworks.

Thursday, March 18, 2010 -

Third Intifada begins?

Thursday, April 15, 2010 -

1. The depression will give way to war, probably a world-wide war.
2. The elite want the war because that allows them to consolidate their power and remove potential challenges to their power.

Monday, April 26, 2010 -

Perhaps now would be a good time to investigate what liberty really is. Or perhaps you'd rather wait until the World War breaks out?

Wednesday, May 12, 2010 -

in addition rumors of war in the Mideast.

Keep your eyes open folks and get to the bottom of every story. These are the times in which the world's "rules" are rewritten by the victors of the upcoming war.

Thursday, May 20, 2010 -

Anybody notice the plethora of wars starting - Mexico, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Korea, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, Iran. It's like they planned this. Let me see...World War I, World War II, eureka!

Walter E Williams - Discrimination and Liberty

Global Economic Armageddon?

Bloodbath sums it actually quite nicely -

The correction, soon to be crash, is here: the market had a bigger relative open to close move today than it did on May 6. We closed at the day's lows on massive volume, despite definitive central bank intervention, regardless whether it was the SNB, the ECB, or the Fed. The central planners have lost control of the market, and all thanks to the inevitable collapse of hyper capitalist Keynesianism coming out of the formerly most communist country in the world. A day of ironies. And it's not over. Futures are already down another 4 handles. The correction is coming, and it will be a bloodbath. The Fed can not push rates lower. It will print. It is inevitable. It is our destiny.

The Real Effect
Time is running out and the animal spirits are beginning to succumb to the rock solid laws of supply and demand. Keynesians, you can't outrun, outprint, or outspend the market laws and sooner or later they're going to catch up with you and scalp you.

I can see the history books now - "Experts disagree over whether Obama spent too much or not enough to stimulate the economy." It's the DEBT dingbats! If you ignore the debt, like the dread pirate Roberts it will come for your soul.

Anybody notice the plethora of wars starting - Mexico, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Korea, Israel, Lebanon, Syria Gaza, Iran. It's like they planned this. Let me see...World War I, World War II, eureka!

Tomorrow should be a very revealing day, my guess is that it will be the reckoning day.

European Wave Gathers Intensity

The economic tidal wave is building strength -

How bad is it? Up Issues on the NYSE is at 3%. Only 2 other days since 1950 were worse, 9/26/55 and 10/19/87.$

It’s not just American markets feeling the pressure today

• France’s CAC 40, down around 2.7%
• Germany’s DAX, down around 2.9%
• UK’s FTSE, down around 2.5%
• Spain’s IBEX, down around 2.5%
• Italy’s MIB, down around 2.5%
• Portugal’s PSI, down around 2.8%

The Real Effect
What we are witnessing is going to be talked about in the history books for millenia. There is a fundamental change in the way the middle-class and below of the world view the world. An "enlightenment" if you will. Here is the crux of the problem though. The globalists understood that the sheep would wake up, in fact they anticipated and planned for it by naming it the IMF riot. The relevant question is, who can outflank who here? Will the people get to the globalists before they are able to pull the trigger on the full police state?

Look for capital to fly from asset to asset, looking for a safe harbor, yet there is very few left to be found. As I write, Japan is getting savaged. So they look to gold to save the day, yet the ETF's are fraudulent as well, which ends up skyrocketing the cost of gold. Ladies and gentlemen, the fireworks haven't even started yet.

How to Prevent Citizens from Seeing Their Congress Critter? Claim His Office is Private Property

Moment of Truth - Rand Paul for US Senate

Kurt Nimmo chimes in on Rand Paul's apparent shoo-in for the Kentucky Senatorial seat -

The Public Policy Polling survey conducted May 15-16 shows Mr. Paul leading Mr. Grayson by 52 percent to 34 percent with three other candidates splitting 7 percent and 7 percent undecided.

Grayson, who is the neocon favorite and Kentucky’s chief elections official, said Paul is overconfident and could be disappointed when votes are counted Tuesday evening, according to the Associated Press on May 17. Grayson is confident he will win even with Paul’s substantial lead.

In March, Infowars.com reported on the possibility of vote rigging in Kentucky. The Paul campaign complained about Grayson’s conflict of interest as the state’s top election official but the Kentucky Executive Branch Ethics Commission did not consider it important.

 The Real Effect

Several points that need to be considered -

1. Rand is 18 points ahead. The day before. This is a no-contest.
2. It is too late for a "game changing" revelation.
3. Grayson is in charge of the election.
4. For all those who say that Ron Paul was not viable. Shame on you! No, double shame on you!

If Paul ends up losing, something is seriously rotten in Denmark. A lot of the future will depend on contests like this. If he wins, Paul will have a serious bully pulpit to do some hardcore thrashing of Keynesian ideology and galvanize the Tea Party movement towards bigger and better things.

States Going Belly Up Part 8 - The Panic Seeps In

Fallout intensifies for The Dutch, Greece, Thailand, and most importantly the U.K.,

Perhaps what is even more compelling is what is happening closer to home. From New Hampshire -

The state’s budget deficit gap has widened to a projected $290 million and thus far state House of Representatives budget writers failed to come up with enough proposed revisions to erase the entire deficit.

Numbers released Tuesday by the Departments of Revenue and Administrative Services predict a $200 million shortfall in revenue this biennium. The governor had estimated revenue would come in about $130 million short. But when adding other factors, such as the loss of money from the Joint Underwriting Association’s medical malpractice fund, the total budget shortfall that the state is facing could be close to $290 million.

 Nebraska -

At least one state senator believes a special budget-cutting session looks more likely, with Nebraska tax revenues falling $56 million behind projections for the year to date.But other state officials saw a few glimmers of hope in a report released Monday on April tax revenues.

 Kentucky -

The Office of State Budget Director reported Monday that revenue to the state General Fund was 5.4 percent below the level for April 2009.The General Fund took in $782million last month, compared with $826.7million the previous year.

And the grand daddy, California -

The state's expected revenue from personal income taxes fell about $3 billion short of expectations in April, prompting concern about further state cuts as the governor prepares to submit a revised budget to the Legislature.

 The Real Effect
Not only are the States broke, so are the ones that actually pay the bills, the taxpayers. Hence lower revenue. Who wants to bet that this is only going to get worse?

Look for States to get desperate as the lines get drawn in the sand. With increased pressure on the States to balance their budgets (Oh the horror!) and the plebs being instructed to make double the bricks with less straw, the US starts to resemble the situations over in Europe more and more.

The first move which is already more-or-less occurring is for States to cut "essential" services in an attempt to cajole the populace into being generous. But the serfs have had enough and won't tolerate much more cutting. So the game of chess continues with States enforcing ever increasing "voluntary" fees. Of course, should the serf not pay said voluntary fee, there is always a nice cell waiting for him.

Knowing their back is up against a wall, look for States to start to moan to the Feds about a State emergency fund similar to Europe's. Except, this ploy won't work either. After all someone has to pay the piper and the globalists seem to feel it's you.

But this is exactly what the IMF and globalists want to stoke the riotous fires at home.

Carnage...Rumors Fly

According to Zero Hedge -

Kitco.com has sparked rumors that Germany will leave the Eurozone and reintroduce German Marks, sending gold to a new record of $1,244 and silver to a multi-year high of $19.64.

In a literal translation Gysi did not say that Germany will reintroduce the Mark but made a curiosity-inspiring statement, saying that there may be some very important news that will be announced on Friday.

He wrote he will publish a picture of the new Marks on Thursday morning. He also said the currency change would happen this weekend with German chancellor Angela Merkel scheduled to give a speech to the nation on Friday evening.  

As we see the rapid destruction of the next fiat currency - all of them have failed in the past 3 centuries - rocketing precious metals prices prove once more there is no other safe haven when the going gets really tough.

The Greeks want nothing to do with so-called "austerity" (rightfully so), protesters are going crazy in Ireland and Romania,  Spain is cutting salaries, Iceland is arresting bankers, ECB monetizing Europe's debt, and in addition rumors of war in the Mideast.

 

At home we have an Air Force Base being locked down an errant satellite, gold exploding to all time highs, California melting down, 40 million on food stamps,and rumors of North Koreans targeting the Deepwater Horizon with torpedoes.

 

With all of this hot on the heels of the stock vaporization on Thursday, it is definitely an interesting time to be alive.

The Real Effect

Keep your eyes open folks and get to the bottom of every story. These are the times in which the world's "rules" are rewritten by the victors of the upcoming war. And if you think the insanity stops there, well, you better rethink your position.

Peter Schiff – Bailout American Style

Spend a Trillion, Nothing Changes

Karl Denninger quickly and accurately describes the problem -

The "currency speculators" - cough - BANKS that were shorting the hell out of the Euro.


Let's see if I can figure out what's happened here.

1. Banks shorted the Euro, (correctly) surmising that Greece, Portugal, Spain and others can't possibly cover their debts.
   
   
2. The ECB freaks out as the Euro heads toward PAR and calls "emergency meetings" (forgetting, I might add, that the Euro traded under PAR not that long ago.)
   
   
3. The ECB and Eurozone decides to "defend" the Euro with €1t in "defensive measures", including buying bonds of bankrupt sovereigns (gee, that's nice - monetization by another name.) Since the ECB and EuroZone cognescenti is of course connected to the large banks in Europe (including France, where Sarkozy is located) these banks know to back off on Friday (notice the nice little uptick?) to lock in their bonuses from these insanely-profitable trades against their own currency.
   
   
4. The very same banks, including the ones in Sarkozy's back yard, see the very nice spike and short the Euro even harder, (correctly) surmising that they have successfully stuck the gun up the nose of the ECB!

Rinse and repeat until you have all the money.

The Real Effect
Whaaat? Throwing a trillion at the bankers didn't fix it? Who would have guessed?

Gold and silver are breaking out above their highs, the Euro is still falling and the elite have 1 trillion more. Isn't this THE definition of insanity?

Look for massive volatility as the "market" convinces the "government" that they need MORE money. Meanwhile, all the money that is being thrown at "the problem" isn't actually doing or going towards what our "elected" representatives tell us it is. The correct term for all of this is FRAUD.

What the banks are selling their customers is fraud, what the representatives are doing with the criminal cases is fraud, the reasons for taking your money are fraudulent, and when everything is predicated upon fraud is it any wonder their is no confidence in the system?

Look for the situation to continue.... What? It's going on already!?!
