Look, its simple, the US economy is not in recovery.

Mass stupidity is the flavor of the month in every one of media mainstays economics section.

Its nuts, insane actually.

The US economy is obviously not “recovering” or “healthy” at all. This is not rocket science, its a very simple situation to read.

Additionally, the latest news of 50,000 bank employees terminated in one month suggests a lot more than is being reported.

Its not just that the American middle class has been systematically eradicated, or that for the first time in history, more businesses fail each day, than open (a horrific fact)

Add to this that that for the first time in history, there are more people on welfare, food stamps and other handouts than working in the private sector. Another staggering first!

Almost 100 million working-age Americans aren’t working, and 40 of Americans earn less than what the minimum wage of 1968 was if it hadn't been dropping deceptively and near 110 million Americans are on some or other form of welfare.

If you add in Medicare, Medicaid and people working for government, more than 165 million Americans — about half the population — are dependant on a government check. Think about it. Its fucking disastrous!

Much of the increase in third quarter GDP was courtesy massive increases healthcare costs due to Obamacare.

Next, unemployment is down right?

Oh no it isn't, How could it be down if the workforce participation rate is the lowest in history? The answer is fraud. The government came up with genius plot to not count the disillusioned people no longer looking for jobs or who don’t want a job (who would rather sit home collecting welfare).

The reality is that unemployment is at Great Depression levels.

Worse, almost every single new job being created crappy, low-wage, part-time jobs or pensioners unable to retire.

The Stock Market:
A rising stock market based on good news and positive economic fundamentals would be great. But a rising stock market based on fake money printing by the Fed, misleading economic stats and massive debt is not so great. Actually, it’s a tragedy. The US stock market is also akin to the subprime mortgage crisis. It’s a debt bubble about to pop.

Its mainly up because Obama has added almost $8 trillion in debt. Fact: DEBT is out of control. Off the charts!

All the housing and vehicle sales were produced by dropping the financing down payments from 25 to 10 and 3 percent. 3 Percent!?? What does that mean? Prepare for record defaults on payments obviously.

Even more than before, it amounts to the world’s largest Ponzi scheme. They've  printed trillions in fake dollars to make the stock market go up for the corporate elite and to pay for those near 110 million Americans on welfare and food stamps I mentioned. 

This mountain of debt is like a credit card credit line that will soon explode, destroying mid term prospects for their currency or even country.

That will give the rest of the world time to normalize the economic environment but in the States, as an outsider I reckon for their benefit every politician, wall street insider trader and bankster who has supported this direction should be thrown in jail.

My challenge to YOU, if you fancy yourself as a modern skeptic.

If you think living in our age of enlightenment means that you wield the faculties of critical thinking like warrior wields an Axe, think again.

If you think you've escaped the trappings of religious faith, the purposeful suspension of logic and reason to accept the narrative of the establishment, think again.

Allow me to demonstrate. Even though I research my strange little hobby of world Geopolitics typically on more recent events, I've deliberately chosen this 2001 example because its the most emotionally loaded, and best illustrates my point.

Below is commonly available video footage of WT7 going down:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrzeN-wvHD4

Casual research will allow anyone to grasp that buildings don't go down like that due to proximity, fire and rubble. We know fire can't melt the structural support, and there is barely any fire on the building anyway. I put forward that not only engineers like the group of 2000 engineers who have challenged the narrative as (basically) impossible, but we all should because its actually common sense.

Of course we can all easily see that this is a controlled detonation, without demolition training. But will be admitt it without context?

Yet the power of the establishment can make you watch this and somehow have faith that fire did this, fire dropped the huge fireproof building, for the first time ever, like a demolition job. Fire. Not that there was any visable.

Add the famous BBC reports that WT7 went down before it did, twice, while it was still up and visible in the background, was ultimately and weakly explained away as a quirk:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mxFRigYD3s

The "Debunking" vids on youtube are like the official narrative, similarly weak.

The journalists themselves ascribe it to a freakishly unlucky coincidence, which is possible, but lets build our perspective.

Add the testimony of the Emergency Services at WT7, who all say they were evacuated just before hearing multiple blasts and personally witnessing the detonations, were dismissed as confusion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PSziAiD9jM

This is damning stuff and there is no excuse for leaving the claims uninvestigated. I cant think of one benefit.

Fast forward to late 2014, Here is what the Engineers are now saying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eCG4OsW1sY

This case is FAR from solved. FAR.

Lets be serious here people! Is it possible that if you are against reopening the investigation then you are no different to the witch-burners of old?

There is only one sensible take on the issue, lets face it. Call it common sense, Occams Razor etc, I call it obvious.

Many of you may be exposed by this exercise. Exposed to the harsh reality that an implausible establishment narrative IS accepted over the clear and simple facts right in front of your eyes, due possibly to the stress inherent in rejecting the narrative.

Let me draw a comparison between the draconian church of old and the current establishment. Lets look at how if truth goes against the narrative its treated the same way the church used to treat scientific heretics. "Truther" became a dirty word somehow, akin to the label assigned to a whack job.

I've had my sanity questioned many times since addressing these issues and its endlessly fascinating. I'm almost always right with time proving it and I post it weekly online in black and white to back myself, but I no longer expect vindication, just like with religion it only makes people dig their heels in deeper.

Ask yourself honestly, which scenario below, looked back on from 200 years in the future, will be considered the least sane:

1) Despite clear evidence to the contrary, the narrative is WT7 collapsed evenly and symmetrically at the rate of gravity due to fire for the first time in history, yet it was somehow anticipated for evacuation purposes and reported on in advance. Any further investigation into the issue must be as a result of crazy Truther mischief only, and those people must be treated, for some reason, as if they are proposing something ridiculous. All you little zombies must smile knowingly every time someone raises any call for clarity on the issue we must laugh at them as if they are all fools.

2) There are clearly some inconsistencies in the official narrative. Not resolving them is not only disrespectful to those that lost their lives, but it may allow criminal elements to remain un prosecuted, free to repeat such crimes in the future. Is there really harm in raising questions? What is the real argument for avoiding searching for truth?

The Bilderberg Group

A Review of Daniel Estulin's book by Stephen Lendman on the Global Research site.

For over 14 years, Daniel Estulin has investigated and researched the Bilderberg Group’s far-reaching influence on business and finance, global politics, war and peace, and control of the world’s resources and its money.

His book, “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group,” was published in 2005 and is now updated in a new 2009 edition. He states that in 1954, “the most powerful men in the world met for the first time” in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, “debated the future of the world,” and decided to meet annually in secret. They called themselves the Bilderberg Group with a membership representing a who’s who of world power elites, mostly from America, Canada, and Western Europe with familiar names like David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Lloyd Blankfein, George Soros, Donald Rumsfeld, Rupert Murdoch, other heads of state, influential senators, congressmen and parliamentarians, Pentagon and NATO brass, members of European royalty, selected media figures, and invited others – some quietly by some accounts like Barack Obama and many of his top officials.

Always well represented are top figures from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), IMF, World Bank, Trilateral Commission, EU, and powerful central bankers from the Federal Reserve, the ECB’s Jean-Claude Trichet, and Bank of England’s Mervyn King.

For over half a century, no agenda or discussion topics became public nor is any press coverage allowed. The few invited fourth estate attendees and their bosses are sworn to secrecy. Nonetheless, Estulin undertook “an investigative journey” that became his life’s work. He states:

“Slowly, one by one, I have penetrated the layers of secrecy surrounding the Bilderberg Group, but I could not have done this withot help of ‘conscientious objectors’ from inside, as well as outside, the Group’s membership.” As a result, he keeps their names confidential.

Whatever its early mission, the Group is now “a shadow world government….threaten(ing) to take away our right to direct our own destinies (by creating) a disturbing reality” very much harming the public’s welfare. In short, Bilderbergers want to supplant individual nation-state sovereignty with an all-powerful global government, corporate

What does the US get back in return for its overwhelmingly exorbitant funding of Israel?

Here are the shocking (to the US taxpayer whose benefits have disappeared for this) facts on Israels full benefits, if it is still up for a change and hasn't been removed http://www.adc.org/IB85066.pdf

Everyone knows the United States is Israel's best friend. It has the most (or possibly only) Pro Israel foreign policy in the world. The US gives Israel billions of dollars in aid annually, consistently blocks UN Security Council resolutions condemning Israel, and backs its military offensives publicly. But why? What's the thinking behind America going above-and-beyond for Israel while leaving its own people with flailing schools, jobs and social benefits?

Well there are 3 clear factors. Each one will get its own post from me in the coming weeks.

1) Votes? The large Jewish community resident in the US?
Its not as big as you think.

This is an interesting aspect and very misunderstood, if you have read my previous post on Globalization and Anti-Semitism you'll realize I think people oversimplify their non-mainstream view of global Geopolitics by looking for Jews under every rock and blaming Jews collectively for the ills of the world. There is simply no place for that sort of myopic bigotry for any serious or amateur political analyst.

2) Israel as the regions platform for globalization.

This is where the real meat is.

3) Pro Israel Jews and Christian Neocons in the globally guided mainstream media, old Banking Houses but more realistically paradoxically capitalist types of the old Dynasties who essentially own the Western Political machine (not a sensastionalist claim in reality), who will as gladly dispose of the used husk of America as they will of Israel, to fulfill their agenda. They and their class usually parade as some or other sort of patriots of their time.

A quick look back at the recent history, perhaps 500 years, shows how this seemingly made-for-TV or bestselling novel financial backstory to history contains all the uncomfortable truths if you ditch the texbooks and folliw the money. The devil is in the details.

Here is where the scandal and mad sounding conspiracies kick in. Much of what is claimed is true and surprisingly easy to verify.

The torture reports are watered down lies. Heres why, What are your thoughts?

The torture or advanced interigation details doing the rounds dont tell the truth about the legacy of US torture in the last decade. Rape, child abuse in front of parents and the worst kind of sadism imaginable are the real legacy as pointed out by one example here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse

In the wake of the latest outrage of further details of recent much milder half truths regarding CIA torture being made public we just have to wonder what we stand for in the west if these are our methods? Some people don't seem to mind, please vote in the poll in the top left of the blog body whatever your feelings may be.

More disturbing arguably are the without trial assassinations carried out on foreign soil known as drone killings.

Since 2004 (According to Wikipedia), the United States government has attacked hundreds of targets in Northwest Pakistan using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) controlled by the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Activities Division. Most of these attacks are on targets in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the Afghan border in Northwest Pakistan.

These strikes began during the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush, and have increased substantially under  Barack Obama.

Amnesty International found that a number of victims were unarmed and that some strikes could amount to war crimes.

Pakistan's Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, has repeatedly demanded an end to the strikes, stating: "The use of drones is not only a continual violation of our territorial integrity but also detrimental to our resolve and efforts at eliminating terrorism from our country".^[28] The Peshawar High Court has ruled that the attacks are illegal, inhumane, violate the UN charter on human rights and constitute a war crime.

Click here for a brilliant  visual representation of the fatalities, stats and timeline in Pakistan.

Of course many more Drone killings happen in North Africa, Yemen and other countries whose boundaries, innocent collateral citizens, extradition treaties for the suspects etc are not respected by the US who commits what ultimately amounts to murder for a shadowy agenda never revealed to the public.

Even pro-establishment CNN place the drone strike success rate as low as 2%

And many disastrous errors occur like this mistaken murder of 12 innocent wedding guests in Yemen

Gold is about to sink the Dollar, soon.

Following hot on the heels of Germany and the Netherlands, now Belgium's central bank has just indicated it will repatriate its US gold supplies.

This is big. Huge. It thwarts the Feds all out assault on keeping gold at such a massively undervalued level, a level desperately needed to prevent the dollars demise and its a slippery slope downhill from here for the $.

Russia and China have been buying whatever gold they can get their hands on in anticipation of the fiat dollar house of cards finally exposing its feeble foundation.

Belgium is particularly interesting because Brussels is the the EU HQ and it sends a strong sign out revealing that there is a broader game afoot.

Something's up...

The worst legislation in US history, H Res 758, summary of the problems.

Designed to consolidate the US national position on Russia in order to facilitate the the geopolitical, military and diplomatic action that will be required in the build up to war.

A summary of some of the problems copied and pasted from RPI http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2014/december/04/reckless-congress-declares-war-on-russia/

The resolution (paragraph 3) accuses Russia of an invasion of Ukraine and condemns Russia’s violation of Ukrainian sovereignty. The statement is offered without any proof of such a thing. Surely with our sophisticated satellites that can read a license plate from space we should have video and pictures of this Russian invasion. None have been offered. As to Russia’s violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, why isn’t it a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty for the US to participate in the overthrow of that country’s elected government as it did in February? We have all heard the tapes of State Department officials plotting with the US Ambassador in Ukraine to overthrow the government. We heard US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland bragging that the US spent $5 billion on regime change in Ukraine. Why is that OK?

The resolution (paragraph 11) accuses the people in east Ukraine of holding “fraudulent and illegal elections” in November. Why is it that every time elections do not produce the results desired by the US government they are called “illegal” and “fraudulent”? Aren’t the people of eastern Ukraine allowed self-determination? Isn’t that a basic human right?

The resolution (paragraph 13) demands a withdrawal of Russia forces from Ukraine even though the US government has provided no evidence the Russian army was ever in Ukraine. This paragraph also urges the government in Kiev to resume military operations against the eastern regions seeking independence.

The resolution (paragraph 14) states with certainty that the Malaysia Airlines flight 17 that crashed in Ukraine was brought down by a missile “fired by Russian-backed separatist forces in eastern Ukraine.” This is simply incorrect, as the final report on the investigation of this tragedy will not even be released until next year and the preliminary report did not state that a missile brought down the plane. Neither did the preliminary report – conducted with the participation of all countries involved – assign blame to any side.

Paragraph 16 of the resolution condemns Russia for selling arms to the Assad government in Syria. It does not mention, of course, that those weapons are going to fight ISIS – which we claim is the enemy -- while the US weapons supplied to the rebels in Syria have actually found their way into the hands of ISIS!

Paragraph 17 of the resolution condemns Russia for what the US claims are economic sanctions (“coercive economic measures”) against Ukraine. This even though the US has repeatedly hit Russia with economic sanctions and is considering even more!

The resolution (paragraph 22) states that Russia invaded the Republic of Georgia in 2008. This is simply untrue. Even the European Union – no friend of Russia – concluded in its investigation of the events in 2008 that it was Georgia that “started an unjustified war” against Russia not the other way around! How does Congress get away with such blatant falsehoods? Do Members not even bother to read these resolutions before voting?

In paragraph 34 the resolution begins to even become comical, condemning the Russians for what it claims are attacks on computer networks of the United States and “illicitly acquiring information” about the US government. In the aftermath of the Snowden revelations about the level of US spying on the rest of the world, how can the US claim the moral authority to condemn such actions in others?
