Why
have a color code? Well I have a tendency to want to highlight really

to group stories. Tim Earl of Stirling
The Entebbe Option ~ link ~ This is one that you really should read in full at the link. It is not short, but a good overview of some Israeli options to attack Iran, and some of the problems with each option. Stirling
According to
several high-level U.S. military and civilian intelligence sources, U.S.
Central Command and Pentagon war planners have concluded that there are at
least three possible Israeli attack options, including a daring and extremely
risky special operations raid on Iran's nuclear facility at Fordow -- an "Iranian
Entebbe" they call it, after Israel's 1976 commando rescue of Israeli hostages held in
Uganda. In that scenario, Israeli commandos would storm the complex, which
houses many of Iran's centrifuges; remove as much enriched uranium as they found
or could carry; and plant explosives to destroy the facility on their way out.
The first
and most predictable option calls for a massed Israeli Air Force bombing
campaign targeting key Iranian nuclear sites. Such an assault would be coupled
with strikes from submarine-launched cruise missiles and Israeli-based medium-range
Jericho II and long-range Jericho III missiles, according to a highly placed U.S.
military officer. The attack may well be preceded by -- or coupled with -- a
coordinated cyber and electronic warfare attack. But
planners for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Centcom have concluded that, because
of limits to Israel's military capabilities, such an aerial campaign could not
be sustained. "They'll have one shot, one time," the U.S. military officer said.
"That's one time out and one time back. And that's it."
A third
operation is less exotic, but perhaps most dangerous of all: regime
decapitation. "The Israelis could just take out the Iranian leadership ," the
senior Pentagon war planner said. "But they would only do that as a part of an
air strike or a commando raid." The
downside of a decapitation strike is that it would not end Iran's nuclear
program; the upside is that it would almost certainly trigger an Iranian
response targeting U.S. military assets in the region, as it would leave the
Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces in charge of the country. It would be the
one sure way, U.S. officers with whom I spoke believe, for Israel to get the United
States involved in its anti-Iran offensive, with the U.S. mounting operations
in a conflict it didn't start.
The Demonic False Flag October Surprise Option ~ link ~ The world continues to spiral out of control, as the foreign policy of
greed and hubris ratchets up for the next episode of destruction. The
prospects of World War III increase with every NeoCon concession to the
irrational and suicidal adherence to the Zionist objective of Middle
East dominance. The worst kept secret circulating the inner circles of
militarist and intelligence agencies are that an October Surprise may be
on the horizon. With all this advance notice, the timing probability is
unlikely that next month will be the days of dynasty. Nonetheless, the
expectations that another major false flag operation is planned to
fabricate public sentiment to support an expansion of the perpetual war,
that only advances an Israel-First objective, is in the advance stages
of execution.
The popular damaging view that a preventative strike on Iran is justifiable is the product of Zionist tricky. The Mossad motto: “By way of deception, thou shall do war“,
is exactly the manner of conduct behind the false flag operations, that
lead America into destructive and unnecessary wars. Only a clean and
clear brake from the yoke of Israeli influence in our internal affairs
and politics can reset our foreign policy, with a balanced approach and
constructive self-interest. Holding up Israel as a trusted ally is
self-destructive and you do not need another October Surprise to
recognize this lesson.
America's strategy to destabilize the Asia-Pacific Region ~ link ~ Thinking that the U.S. will invest huge resources to confront
China as it did against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, these
countries, especially the ones which have maritime boundary disputes
with China, have chosen to side with the U.S.
Things we must ponder before the dollar collapses by design ~ link ~ All of this financial turmoil including the death of millions every
year by starvation and suicide is part of a long term plan to transfer
all wealth from us to the bankers who have insisted on the right to
collect interest on money that created out of nothing since 1348 when
they destroyed the economy of not only Venice but all of Europe leading
to the deaths of millions. If Mrs Jones deposits $10,000, her bank can
loan out $100,000. Her bank pays her 1% or $100 at the end of the year
but they will collect $10,000 in interest on Mrs Jones original deposit.
This is called fractional reserve banking. Hyman Minsky traced our
economic booms and busts back fractional reserve lending which puts more
money into circulation trough debt creation. In fact bankers insist we
have a debt based currency which means we must first borrow money and go
into debt before money can be created. Our currency is also interest
bearing. Lincoln’s Greenbacks did not pay interest. President Kennedy
issued non-interest bearing Treasury Banknotes to replace interest
bearing Federal Reserve Notes. Both men were murdered for their efforts
in behalf of humanity. We all have interest bearing currencies because
the bakers insist we pay them money for creating fictional government
debts. If America had Greenbacks, they would be saving a trillion
dollars a year because there would not have 20 trillion dollar in
government debts. Even IMF economists have had to admit that they were
completely wrong about fractional reserve banking. I say they gave been
wrong about everything else too.
The U.S. pivot has shifted the priority in Asia from economic
policy to strategic policy. This has occurred, in part, due to U.S.
perception of its own strengths. After the onset of the financial
crisis, U.S. economic dominance weakened, but its military remains the
most powerful in the world.
History has shown that economic competition is mostly benign, but
strategic confrontation can and has lead to military conflict. When the
two countries fall into such confrontation, they will inevitably assume
the roles of the two ancient Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta, or
the U.S. and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Herd Mentality is the Name of the Game ~ link ~ Good One! Stirling
Politicians are war criminals, guilty of breaking their own
legislated laws; but for them, it does not matter, for they are above
the law — they are the law. In order to stay in their positions of
power, they control their citizens by brainwashing them by all means
necessary.
Herd mentality is the name of the game; the more a state’s citizens
think alike, the less of a threat they are to those in power.
Conformity! Submission! These are indeed seen as virtues in the eyes of
our governments.
Netanyahu at UN - What we are NOT told ~ link ~
This was pure theatre. The Netanyahu comic rant was bad enough.
Worse, however, is the failure of the press to cover reactions to
Netanyahu, to the lonely “walkout” by Israel and to follow up with the
193 nations, 120 of which chose Iran to represent them as head of the
non-aligned nations.
No decent evaluation was done of Obama’s speech.
One was needed. Obama very rightly chastised those responsible for the
violence against American diplomatic missions, walked a careful line,
demonstrated some real anger and disappointment and said what was needed
but, as this is an election year, stuck to his usual mentions of the
holocaust, something the mention of is utterly unproductive.
Netanyahu at the UN - Monumental Warmongering Bullshit ~ link ~ Yep!
How do you take your poison? ~ link ~ One way or another the corporate
hemlock will be shoved down our throats. Corporate power, no matter who
is running the ward after January 2013, is poised to carry out U.S.
history’s most savage assault against the poor and the working class,
not to mention the Earth’s ecosystem. And no one in power, no matter
what the bedside manner, has any intention or ability to stop it.
We will all swallow our cup of
corporate poison. We can take it from nurse Romney, who will tell us not
to whine and play the victim, or we can take it from nurse Obama, who
will assure us that this hurts him even more than it hurts us, but one
way or another the corporate hemlock will be shoved down our throats.
The choice before us is how it will be administered. Corporate power, no
matter who is running the ward after January 2013, is poised to carry
out U.S. history’s most savage assault against the poor and the working
class, not to mention the Earth’s ecosystem. And no one in power, no
matter what the bedside manner, has any intention or ability to stop it.
If you insist on participating in
the cash-drenched charade of a two-party democratic election at least be
clear about what you are doing. You are, by playing your assigned role
as the Democratic or Republican voter in this political theater, giving
legitimacy to a corporate agenda that means your own impoverishment and
disempowerment. All the things that stand between us and utter
destitution — Medicaid, food stamps, Pell grants, Head Start, Social
Security, public education, federal grants-in-aid to America’s states
and cities, the Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program (WIC),
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and home-delivered meals for
seniors — are about to be shredded by the corporate state. Our corporate
oligarchs are harvesting the nation, grabbing as much as they can, as
fast as they can, in the inevitable descent.
G. Edward Griffin: We should not worry how to save the system ~ link ~ Daily Bell: Are the elites running scared?
G. Edward Griffin: I don’t think the power elites are
running scared, no. I think they are very confident that everything is
under control. I think they are not worried about the crisis because
they want the crisis; the crisis is part of the plan. The
monetary crisis, the military crisis, social crisis, racial tensions,
crime crisis, environmental crisis – those things all feed into their
plan because that’s what frightens people and what makes them passive to
accept all these programs that they offer to expand government and
increase taxes. So I don’t think they are running scared. I think
they’re saying to themselves very comfortably that ‘everything is on
track and things are going according to plan and exactly as we wanted.’
Faber Warns "Everything Will Collapse" ~ link ~
Famed economist Marc Faber appeared on Bloomberg TV with a harsh, direct warning to investors. “U.S. monetary policies will destroy the world,” he said, referring
to the new round of stimulus – QE3, or “QE Forever” – the Fed plans to
launch this year.
Faber’s not alone. A group of his economic peers agree that with more central bank action like QE3, global economic collapse is imminent. In a newly released documentary that went viral last month, a
team of influential economic experts say they have discovered a
“frightening pattern” they believe points to a massive economic
catastrophe unlike anything ever seen.
We are heading to a market shock in October 2012 and things are going to fall apart ~ link ~ This is timed to cause panic voting against Obama. Stirling
Nouriel Roubini, professor of economics
at New York University and chairman of Roubini Global Economics, has
reportedly said that the stock market will be in for a major shock in October of this year. Roubini reportedly feels that the alarming economic downturn will
cause “the global financial system to implode,” according to a source
close to a Wall Street executive.
What is most shocking is the Edgar Cayce, known as the “sleeping
prophet” predicted back in 1940 that there would be major stock market
crash in October of 2012.
I will conclude by saying something again I will either no longer
have to say in 7 months or sometime soon under martial law no longer be
able to say:
The Fundamental Fact of Your Existence as a modern man or woman is
that the bankers of New York and London want to reduce you to Debt
Slavery.
Accept that fact and move on to the solution.
Impending Catastrophe: Spain Has Entered A Full-Scale Collapse And Created A Tremendous Amount of Instability Which Could Trigger An Imminent Lehman-Like Event And A Rerun of The Great Panic of 2008 ~ link ~ Less than a year after sweeping to power in a landslide victory, Mr Rajoy is already fatally wounded. He promised never to apply taxpayers’ money to bailing out the banks. He already has. He promised not to follow Greece, Ireland and Portugal into a sovereign bail-out. Now, other than leaving the euro, he’s got no choice. Even on gay marriage, Mr Rajoy has failed to deliver as promised.
A further €40bn package of austerity measures has been announced in a desperate bid to get ahead of what Brussels wants of Spain and, we must suppose, thereby obtain a somehow unconditional bail-out, allowing national pride to be salvaged. These measures are almost bound to be self-defeating, for they threaten further to shrink the economy, thereby making deficit reduction tougher still. Spain is chasing its tail into austerity-induced fiscal and economic meltdown. Mr Rajoy is a dead man walking.
Extreme weather wreaks havoc from Spain to Morocco ~ link ~ For over two years the entire World's weather patterns have been screwy due to the death of the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico (from the massive amounts of oil still there from the BP Oil Disaster) and its effect on the Thermohaline Circulation System.

Hundreds killed in Pakistan flooding ~ link ~ Some 350,000 people have
been forced from their homes and another 4.7 million people affected by
the flooding since August 22, Ahmed Kamal of the National Disaster
Management Authority said.
More than 15,000 villages have been affected and many houses destroyed or damaged in the past five weeks, he said.
Deadly New Virus Uncovered in Africa ~ link ~ Even if this did not come from an Advanced Biowar Lab, you can 'bet the farm' that a host of national biological warfare organizations are VERY INTERESTED in the virus. Stirling
The outbreak, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), killed two
people and left one
person seriously ill. The researchers have given the deadly pathogen
the name Bas-Congo virus (BASV), after the province where the three
people lived.
Chiu says the new virus, BASV, is quite unlike other viruses in Africa
known to be behind deadly outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic fever, such as
Ebola virus,
Lassa virus, and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus.
Genetically, BASV bears more resemblance to rabies viruses, which cause a different type of infection, a neurological illness that can take months to develop
but invariably kills, explains Chiu.
