Germany Joins Switzerland In Insanity Land

Rights? You ain't got no stinkin' rights -

KARLSRUHE, Germany — In a widely followed ruling on Wednesday, Germany’s Constitutional Court upheld the legality of Berlin’s rescue packages for debt-stricken euro zone countries, but said any future bailouts must be approved by a parliamentary panel. The decision was viewed by some analysts as a rare triumph for Chancellor Angela Merkel and seemed to place fewer restrictions than some had expected on her ability to react to the European debt crisis. At the same time, the high public standing of the court should lend broader legitimacy to government efforts to shore up the European currency. 

Now why would they do such a thing? As we pointed out yesterday, the globalists tend to cover for one another -

Speaking at a parliamentary budget debate in Berlin, Mrs. Merkel said the ruling had “absolutely confirmed” her government’s “transparent” handling of Europe’s debt crisis in close consultation with Parliament. “That is exactly the path we have followed,” she said.

Mrs. Merkel again underlined her country’s commitment to the single currency and European integration, saying the euro was “much more than a common currency.”

“If the euro collapses, so does Europe,” she said, adding that “Germany’s future is inseparable from Europe’s future.”

May I remind the reader that the EU was supposedly only supposed to be for "free" trade.

The Real Effect
As pointed out last year, repeatedly -

Just a real quick recap on the preceding information - Britain is four times as broke as anyone thought, Spain is kicking the can down the road wishfully hoping the cost of debt gets cheaper, and European banks are just as insolvent as ever. Once again, how can this go wrong?

and -

The money would be coming from Germany, but the German and Greek people want NOTHING to do with a bailout. If Greece blows out, it'll blow out Spain, the U.K., Portugal. Each one of those, in turn will blow out more countries.

If Greece doesn't blow out, the pressure will be on to bail out Portugal who will just become the next, bigger Greece. In June, California has bonds due and they're in the same boat. There's a world of hurt coming fast. I think they can prop it up a bit longer perhaps 3-6 months? But every time they do, they make the end result that much more devastating, EXPONENTIALLY.

Look out for the shell game at this point. This is where the "leaders", who caused the mess by the way, give you your solution by stating the only thing that will save us is TOTAL GLOBAL POWER.

"Only a sustainable global economy can continue to guarantee growing wealth without jeopardizing the chance for future generations to meet their own needs." And how do we sustain it? Why, by having the developed world issue half a trillion in debt each and every month.

But to achieve their goal, they need to first be UNSUCCESSFUL with their bureaucratic efforts. It only works if you bring in a global despot as the world savior, much like Adolph was to Germany in the 30's.

A global Hitler you say? No way, it could neeeever happen.

So...let's recap. A bunch of globalists want to seize power legally so they conspire in secret meetings that they lie about for 50 plus years. After the seizure is started, they continue to lie not only about the goal, but the very existence of their plans in the first place despite their own public admissions. In the process they label alarmed ordinary people, "nuts, whack jobs, conspiracists" and all sorts of miscellaneous nonsense. Then, they manage to continue to lie not only about their goals, other people, but what is going on when they are executing the plan! A case of pure fraud.

Further, when their "great plan" begins to fall apart, they claim some sort of Romans 13 nonsense and insist that you not only throw yourself, but your children's future on the fires of Molech to ensure that the banksters don't get what's coming to them. Despite all of this, despite Europe melting down, wars being promised and executed...we still can't figure out who's doing this and why?!?

This is simple. The banksters are colluding against you. Period. Time to have some very public trials and see some of these fools spend some time in prison.

The Swiss Shoot Themselves In the Face

This is getting entertaining, although your guess is as good as mine as to why someone would want to hitch their wagon to the Euro train -

Currency markets have seen massive volatility this morning after the Swiss National Bank decision to fix the Swiss franc to the euro.

Gold is trading at USD 1,899.50, EUR 1,339.10, GBP 1,177.30, CHF 1,611.10 (up from CHF 1,486.50 yesterday) and JPY 146,350 per ounce. Gold is down 0.18% in dollar terms and strong physical demand continues at these levels.

Just prior to the announcement, spot gold for immediate delivery had risen to a new record nominal high of $1,921.15/oz in early morning trading in Europe.

Then just before 0900 hours GMT came the news that the Swiss National Bank has decided to fix the country's exchange rate at 1.20 Swiss francs per euro. The SNB indicated it would buy an unlimited amount of euros regardless of the risk to maintain that value.

The Real Effect
Of course, feeding countries wholesale to the Euro maw will prolong the inevitable collapse, but it will also make the collapse that much worse. I imagine that the Swiss will soon be informing their leaders of their intentions on the street. It should look something like, Greece.

In short, there should be little doubt that countries will collude together throwing men, women and handicapped children under the bus in the inevitable race to the bottom. But, the witless wonder will protest, this is progress!!!

Oslo - Another Terror Bombing, Another Government Drill

This is worse then a B grade zombie movie -

The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten reports today police sources have confirmed that hours before Anders Behring Breivik launched his deadly attack at a political summer camp on Utøya island on July 22, police had conducted a drill for a “practically identical scenario.”

“Sources within the top level management of the police in Oslo have confirmed to Aftenposten that the drill finished at 15:00 that same Friday,” the newspaper reports. “All of the officers from the anti-terror unit that later took part at the bombsite at the government buildings and went out to Utøya to apprehend Anders Behring Breivik had been training on the exact same scenario earlier the same day and in the days preceding,” writes Andreas Bakke Foss.

The Real Effect
Darn those conspiracy theorists, what with their police badges and official government positions and all! Don't they know that there are no facts behind their own statements and research?!?

In all seriousness, should we be at all surprised? And yet we want to allow our government to go after so-called terrorists in Iran, after installing them in Libya!?

I'm sure that when these officers end up suicided in a few months time, we can all rest assured that they were just conflicted souls and  that they regretted their prior statements. If only they were alive to tell you.

The day Jesse Ventura met the CIA!

Neocons Off Their Rocker on Ron Paul

Never in my life have I seen such fear of a candidate -

Key Republicans in Iowa -- and around the country, too -- are genuinely baffled by the Paul phenomenon. They understand (and share) many of Paul's views on the Constitution and limiting the size and scope of the federal government, even if they think Paul sometimes goes too far. What perplexes them is Paul's take on foreign policy, especially the threat of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.

"Why wouldn't it be natural that they might want a weapon?" Paul asked at the Fox-Examiner debate. "They'd be given more respect. ... What's so terribly bad about this?"

As for sanctions against Iran, Paul said, "Countries that you put sanctions on, you are more likely to fight them. ... I say stay out of their internal business."

The crowd in Iowa State University's Stephens Auditorium included a large group of Paul supporters who broke into loud cheers every time Paul spoke, including when he gave his views on Iran. "That audience goes nuts," Limbaugh said the next day. "I think, 'Oh, my gosh, what am I watching here?' "

The Real Effect
Yes Mr. Limbaugh, may the heavens forbid that we actually return this country to a limited government. In practice, we are witnessing many things all coalescing here:

• Ron Paul is a person of character, you may disagree with it, but his character is genuine unlike most of those on the Hill.
• His character has continuously and faithfully espoused many key government policies for decades, chief among them his economic view of the destabilization of America.
• Many people have grown wise to the fact that what Paul has been discussing is the truth and in turn trust him. This is fairly unique.
• The neo-conservatives have kidnapped the liberty banner to hide behind and constructed a faux wall of freedom to mask their collectivist leanings.
• People (especially those under 40) are growing wise to the neocon ploys and realizing that the Republican Party will not save them.
• This has essentially split the party into two bases
• Neocon - Primarily baby boomer and older - This group is obsessed with "preserving" things the way they are. This is evidenced in their continual support for anything that sounds like old fashioned Americana. (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, zoning, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, etc...) They have predicated most of their worldview into a belief that they are the greatest generation. They created American prosperity, American superiority and the American Dream darn it! They have spent a good portion of their lives stealing from others, therefore they rightly fear the wave of reciprocity that is coming.
• Tea Party - Primarily those under 40 - This group is obsessed with restoring American liberty to what it once was. They view liberty as the chief engine of the prosperity that the neocons cling to.

Libya Gets Ransacked By NATO Forces - Installs Puppet Blowback

How could this possibly go wrong -

NATO’s support for the Libyan Al-Qaeda cell known as Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which was declared a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department in 2004, will provide the extremist group the opportunity to seize “a stew of deadly chemicals, raw nuclear material and some 30,000 shoulder-fired rockets”

Not only will the group have access to such weapons, it also “may become the real political power behind whatever regime is established once Gaddafi relinquish power,” according to a report in the Asian Tribune.

LIFG was also behind the 1996 attempt to assassinate Colonel Gaddafi, a plot hatched and funded by MI6. British intelligence, along with SAS soldiers, were also instrumental in directing the assault on Tripoli.

As we have previously highlighted, shortly after the start of the conflict in March, Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the leader of the anti-Gaddafi rebel army, admitted that the rebel ranks include Al-Qaeda terrorists who have killed U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Real Effect
 One doesn't exaclty have to think very long or hard to figure out how this situation will progress. Just like it is not in the best interests (read profit) of the banksters to have a stable economy, it is not in the interests of the makers of war to have stable governments. Therefore they have a conflict of interest when it comes to promoting 'policy'. Indeed it is their policy to generate as much disturbance as possible, many times funding both sides of a conflict to double their profits. Aren't they generous?

In this situation, Gaddafi (A stooge) has promised to strike back at international targets. If this happens, this will be interpreted as an act of terrorism by the world governments. (But not one of war,  well, because this is just a kinetic military action) Enraged, we demand that we put an end to the stooge before any more people are hurt. Of course, a government (and a central bank) are necessary to support this fledgling democracy. (Funny, I don't recall anyone voting) All of this results in a disenfranchised populace ruled by a colonially imposed governor that imposes sharia law. Blowback anyone?

Now someone please explain how this is better then Gaddafi?

Engdahl: Oil-field fight, tribal power-grab part of post-Gaddafi greed-fest

Libya Under Full Assault

It's almost September and we almost got a ground war -

...reports circulate of well over a thousand dead with thousands more wounded during weekend battles, led by by NATO warships and fighter jets as part of “Operation Mermaid Dawn,”which led to the capture of Gaddafi’s sons as Gaddafi himself reportedly went into hiding.

RAF fighter jets were deployed to attack key regime targets while the media pretended the whole assault was an organic uprising by the Libyan people, endlessly replaying footage of celebrating crowds.

In another report published on July 15, we stated that NATO powers and the rebel army would launch a final bombardment of Tripoli within 6-8 weeks if Gaddafi refused to step down, which is exactly what unfolded just shy of 6 weeks later. 

Barack Obama and David Cameron are now busy milking the spectacle with tough talk as if they led the assault personally. In reality, the conquest of Libya represents little more than another act of colonial looting on behalf of the NATO war machine, with Syria the next target in its cross hairs.

The Real Effect
We now wait for the newly sainted rebels to bless parts of Israel or the US with their holy munitions in what can only be described as a completely unforeseeable coincidence in modern warfare.

In totally unrelated news, Al-Qaeda has been sighted around America sporting GOP smoking jackets and trying to pose as 'white America' when in fact we know that they are now the newly annointed 'Western wing' of this ultra-deadly terrorist group. Reports indicating that this deadly new group is in fact American citizens is nothing more than conpiracy propaganda and all suspected participants should be directed to their local checkpoint Big Sister Free Love Station for a trial by jury a freedom check.

TSA Confiscates Woman's Insulin - An Example of Failed Policy

It's a good thing the TSA is stopping terrorism (Oh and tourism too) -

A pregnant woman had her insulin and ice packs confiscated by the Transportation Security Administration because a screener claimed they were an explosives risk.

The diabetic woman was travelling alone from Denver International Airport to a baby shower in Phoenix when she was questioned by a TSA agent as she went through security.

'He's like, "Well, you're a risk,"' the woman, who did not wish to be named, said. 'I'm like, "Excuse me?" And he's like, "This is a risk ... I can't tell you why again. But this is at risk for explosives."

The Real Effect

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Do we really need an explanation of above? Or do we really despise liberty that much?

To illustrate further, this is what happens with bad policy and government. When bad policy is enacted by businesses and individuals, the public can usually avoid these clowns. However with government, you are compelled to use their policy under force of law. And the consequences of such bad policy are typically not immediately discernable. For instance -

• Terrorists attack the United States
• "Do something!" is the clarion cry. The point here is not to punish the terrorists, but to prevent further events. In some cases, this is possible, but rarely is this true.
• The Transport Security Administration is created. (Quite expensive I might add)
• The TSA has an incentive to grow larger and have more regulations. (This is where their paycheck comes from) So the TSA grows makes things safer.
• What is not seen is the micro-hidden cost. To some, the harassment might jeapordize their livelihood, so they find ways around it. To the rest, there is a monetary cost (money) as well other costs. (Loss of time, liberty, scissors)
• Eventually, the incentive of the policy conflicts with the life of an individual. (Our example above) Sometimes this is able to be worked around, but every so often there is a genuine threat to the life of that person. In this case, what she supposed to do? Give up her medication and pray she makes it? Refuse to give it up? Attack the guard?

No, each individual has an incentive to protect themselves and to this end, we turn the "citizen" on the guard. It is not the guards fault that he is making a living. It is also not the fault of the woman that this policy could cost her her life. But in the end the ones that end up suffering are not the ones who make the rules, but the ones who are affected by them. These individuals are not hard of hearing, they are flat out deaf.

Keiser Report: Banking Looters (E173)

Ron Paul Ignored By Media

Time magazine publishes a five page article to denounce the chances of Ron Paul in the 2012 election.

Euro-Facists Propose Euro Tyranny

The problem in the economic front is a property issue. The stock market is going down. Why? Because the banks are going down? Why? Because they wrote FRAUDULENT deals in the biggest ponzi scheme of all time and now they have to pay. (And they sold them to everyone too) 

So, what's France and Germany's solution? Make the ponzi BIGGER!!!!

PARIS - Germany, France propose collective 'government' for the eurozone led by EU president.

 and

• And fade: Sarkozy says "Maybe" Eurobonds imaginable one day
• Sarkozy says not enough integration for eurobonds now
• Eurobonds have no democratic legitimacy now, Sarkozy says
• French president Sarkozy says proposal would elect a Eurozone president for two and a half years
• Van Rompuy Proposed as Head of Euro Council
• Merkel says debt brake to be anchored in German, French law. And so the take over of europe by the new axis countries: France and Germany, is complete.

The Real Effect

Imagine for a moment that your neighbor kept moving his mobile fence further into your yard. This is property theft as he is appropriating your yard slowly but methodically. When cornered, he claims that he is now 'using' this land and it is central to his profits in his new sod business.

Nice, you think to yourself, but the fact that my land is central to your profitability has no bearing on who's land it is. So, you protest to him. 

At this point he claims that 'no one knew' that the fence had been moved, but being the overly generous guy that he is, he will move it back to where you say it should go. 

Upon completion, you notice that he has indeed moved his fence, but not back to the original property line. In fact, since he was so "generous", he has since started moving the fence towards your property again.

This time you call the local sheriff and go to retrieve your property records. Going into the file cabinet, you find that your neighbor has been in your house and has destroyed all the relevant records. When the police arrive and question your neighbor, he shows them his documents written in crayon of all things. Of course, he insists they are completely valid and that they show that not only is the land that you are disputing his, but that his sod business is once again in trouble and unless the sheriff wants his cruiser getting all shot up, he had better give him your house too. After all, these are troublesome times and we need to be unified to get out of it.

To your horror, the sheriff completely agrees with him. It is only later that you find out that the sheriff is your neighbor's cousin. Of course by then, it's too late as city hall has officially deemed the land his and in order for you to overturn that ruling, you have to prove it's yours with your non-existent records. 

In the end he is hailed as a great innovator that not only created jobs but did it at such a low cost. No one could quite figure out how he managed that, except you.

This is similar to the situation that we find ourselves in today. The banks have started a business with their capital and they have every legal right to waste it if that is their wish. What they do not have the right to do is to drag us along with them. Yet Europe seems to feel that the solution to their problem is to give the sheriff in our example the title of mayor as well. This does nothing to address the issue of property ownership which is the primary cause of our suffering. 

It ensures that not only will you get shafted, but that it will be legal as well.

Of course a world leader coming out of Europe is no new thing to long time readers.

SR 24 The Fed's Secret Loans

Republican Kabuki Theater

As if we had any doubt that this is what would happen -

During a heated back and forth with Rick Santorum regarding a potential conflict with Iran, Paul showed true statesman qualities, arguing that merely slapping sanctions on the country and refusing to even entertain the idea of negotiating with the Iranian leadership would lead directly to conflict further down the line.

“They have no evidence that they are working on a weapon,” Paul said. “At least our leaders and Reagan talked to the Soviets. What is so terribly bad about this? Countries you put sanctions on, you are more likely to fight them. I say a policy of peace is free trade, stay out of their internal business. Do not get involved in these wars and bring our troops home.” The Congressman added.

When Santorum insisted that Iran had “killed more American men and women in uniform in Iraq and Afghanistan than the Iraqis and Afghans have,” Paul urged the American people to see through such examples of war propaganda.

When Santorum added that Iran had been “at war with us since 1979″, Paul countered that it was the meddling of the CIA in Iran in the 1950s that had directly caused such “blowback”.

“The senator is wrong on his history,” Paul urged. “We’ve been at war in Iran for a lot longer than ’79. We started it in 1953 when we sent in a coup, installed the Shah. The reaction, the blow-back came in 1979, it’s been going on and on because we just plain don’t mind our own business. That’s our problem!” The Congressman asserted as the crowd in attendance erupted into riotous applause and cheering.

The Real Effect
This is where we move from the theater of the absurd to abject lunacy. Perhaps Santorum and Bachmann have noticed that the United States received a debt downgrade recently? I wonder exactly how they would plan to pay for such military exploits? By borrowing from China? The country that has stopped buying our treasuries and has alliances with Iran? Or perhaps we can just print money and destroy our country in a way that Iran never could?!?

There are reasons why we elect leaders and not individuals who will kow tow to the 'Israel first' lobby. If Israel has a beef with Iran, let them deal with them. But 100 years of interventionist policy and forced democracy has helped foster countless wars, a bankrupt economy and millions of deaths that have made our country significantly less secure as a whole.

China Building Military Assets, The US Wants to Know Why

As if China owes the US an explanation -

The United States said Wednesday it would like China to explain why it needs an aircraft carrier amid broader US concerns about Beijing’s lack of transparency over its military aims.

“We would welcome any kind of explanation that China would like to give for needing this kind of equipment,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters when asked whether the carrier would raise regional tensions.

“This is part of our larger concern that China is not as transparent as other countries. It’s not as transparent as the United States about its military acquisitions, about its military budget,” she said.

The Real Effect
What do you think they're going to do with it? Water the plants in their ghost cities? Yeah, that's the ticket! As if this isn't funny enough, this comes on the back of a high-tech US experiment dominating the news -

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency says contact with its experimental hypersonic glider was lost after launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base on the central California coast.

The agency says in Twitter postings that its unmanned Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-2 was launched Thursday atop a rocket, successfully separated from the booster and entered the mission’s glide phase.

The agency says telemetry was subsequently lost, but released no details..

Coincidentally, quite an interesting phoenix reference. Could this be some sort of symbolic gesture? Ah, I digress...

Following logic, shouldn't China be demanding to know about the US and its lack of transparency? By what right does the US assert that China owes them an explenation while denying China and the world one? Oh, that's right. This is what passes for reason and logic today, ...cough, cough...excuse me while I clear my caveman throat -

U.S. good. We more moral cuz we say so. China bad cuz we say so. Therefore Trogg say that US can kill at whim and owe no explanation to anyone for anything. Cuz we say so.

Update: With reports of your entire stealth fleet being grounded, should you really be picking fights with China -

...after building more than 170 F-22 Raptors and a handful of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, not a single one is available for service. The Air Force currently has zero flyable stealth fighters. None.

The vaunted F-22 has been grounded with a possible faulty oxygen system since May. Production of the last few Raptors is even on hold, because the jets can’t fly from the factory.

Last week, test flights for the newer F-35 were suspended, too, because of a valve problem in the plane’s integrated power package. It’s the third time this year that JSFs have been forbidden to fly. Ground tests have resumed, and flight tests may resume as early as next week. Then again, they may not.
