La population est considérée comme étant un "ennemi d'État"
Nous avons vu la semaine passée que CANADA Inc., comme toute bonne compagnie privée, a pour importante mission de faire du profit, souvent en extorquant et taxant à mort sa ressource naturelle, la population.
Nous avons aussi vu que cette extraction, ce vampirisme économique se fait souvent au nom de belles prétentions et motivations de façade, comme par exemple, la « sécurité », la « santé », la « démocratie », etc.
Au nom de la sécurité, on va vous taxer de quelques milliards. Au nom de la santé et d’une peur d’un certain H1N1, on va vous inoculer avec des produits non-testés et contenant des ingrédients toxiques, qui n’ont aucune efficacité prouvée à part des croyances aveugles et naïves. Au nom de la démocratie, on va aller bombarder et occuper militairement des pays du Moyen-Orient où on a déjà entrainé la mort de 1.3 million d’Irakiens et des dizaines de milliers d’autres en Afghanistan. Un génocide. Et un biocide: on a contaminé la place avec de l’uranium appauvri qui sert à fabriquer des armes dont on se sert pour libérer les gens de ces pays, un truc radioactif pour au moins 4.5 milliards d’années. Tout ce qui a de plus humain; à la fine pointe de l’humanité.

9/11:
Pentagon Shooter Was Right-Wing, Anti-Government Terrorist
Bedell “appears to have been a right-wing extremist with virulent antigovernment feelings,” the Christian Science Monitor reports, who traveled from
Webmaster's Commentary:
Well, the demonization of Bedell goes on, along with bashing the 9-11 truth movement. But I wish to remind everyone screaming "right-wing extremism" that it is a REPUBLICAN President that is thought to have been part of the 9-11 plot, and that while he was still in office, doubters of the official story were dismissed as "Liberal kooks!"

Highly-Credible People Question 9/11
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) "obstructed our investigation".
Pentagon gunman sought ‘truth’ about 9/11
Webmaster's Commentary:
Given that the majority of people no longer trust the official story of 9-11 it seems likely that anyone reaching their breaking point and shooting at the Pentagon (or crashing a plane into the IRS) has already decided that the government should not be trusted on anything that it says.
The government and media are going to spin this latest attack as a condemnation of anyone who fails to believe as the government orders them to believe I think this only reminds all Americans that they are not alone in wondering just what really happened (cheap plug) on 9-11.
I know that some people will insist this is a staged false-flag event, but like Joe Stack who crashed a plane into the IRS, this reads to me like a genuine case of an American who has just had enough, has reached their breaking point, and a government propaganda machine doing their usual "how can we use this to our advantage?" process.
The reason I do not think this is a false flag attack is that staged false flag terror is directed at innocent lives, lots of them, to maximize the psychological shock value. In both the IRS and Pentagon cases, public opinion has little sympathy for the targets.
False flag attacks have to have a live perpetrator, someone to put on trial, like Tim McVeigh, or even better to remain at large, like Osama bin Laden, to continue to fan the flames of public outrage and build public pressure to exact a revenge against the intended patsy. In both the IRS and Pentagon cases, the perpetrators are already dead, cutting off any possibility of revenge. Closure is forced on these events before they even get going.
Before the American revolution started in earnest it was preceded by numerous small actions in which angered colonials shot and killed British soldiers at random. The reason the British panicked at the intersection of
It appears we are in the same phase here.

Attack on 911 Truth repelled: Alex Jones Destroys the Faux News Duo
Why do the talking heads continue to call those calling for 911 Truth "conspiracy theorists" - when their only "crime" has been an examination of evidence the U.S. Government has done backflips to pretend doesn't exist?
As Predicted, Pentagon Shooting Blamed On 9/11 Truth
Just two days after we warned of false flag domestic attacks that would be blamed on the federal government’s political adversaries were all but inevitable, a Californian man attacked the Pentagon last night in a shooting that wounded two police officers and has since been blamed on the John Patrick Bedell’s advocacy for 9/11 truth.

Thanks to the Architects for Truth. The Science is finally proving that 911 was in fact an inside job, not made up by Conspiracy "nuts", but here Eric Lawyer states flatly that the Book for Forensic preservation of evidence from a crime scene was blatantly ignored. True. But no one better than a FireFighter familiar with the "book" to say so. Willie Rodriquez was erased from the fraudulent Federally tainted so called 911 investigation, Prof. Jones thermate evidence ignored, Key witnesses were scene being thrown out for trying to testify.

Dans le livre de John Farmer «The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America’s Defense on 9/11? », l’auteur bâtit un dossier autant convainquant qu’incontournable du fait que la version officielle… est quasiment entièrement fausse.

Farmer, directeur de
Farmer déclare: «À un certain niveau du gouvernement, à un certain moment donné… il y a eu une entente pour ne pas révéler la vérité à propos de ce qui s’était passé… J’ai été choqué de voir la différence entre la vérité et la manière dont elle a été décrite… Les enregistrements du NORAD (North American Aerospace Command) racontait une histoire radicalement différente de ce qu’on nous a dit ainsi qu’au public depuis deux ans».
Thomas Kean, ancien gouverneur Républicain du New Jersey avait ceci a dire: «Jusqu’à ce jour, nous ne savons toujours pas pourquoi le NORAD nous a raconté ce qu’ils nous ont raconté, c’était tellement loin de la vérité…».
Ted Olsen, qui a servi sous l’administration Bush, nous a menti lorsqu’il a tenu une conférence de presse le 11 septembre 2001 en disant à l’Amérique et le monde que sa femme décédée l’avait appelé juste avant de mourir dans l’avion qui avait été détourné. Cela prouvait que l’avion avait bel et bien été détourné par des terroristes à la peau brune.
Le problème, c’est que c’était un autre mensonge, un de plus sur longue liste. Le FBI a rapporté qu’aucun appel n’avait été fait entre Barbara Olsen et Ted Olsen en cette journée fatidique. La technologie ne le permettait même pas à l’époque, à l’altitude à laquelle se trouvait alors l’avion.

“Coffee Party” Founder Is Obama Campaign Operative
Billed as an alternative grassroots movement to the Tea Party, which has been for the most part absorbed by mainline Republicans and Neoconservatives, the “Coffee Party” promised to wake up politically minded Americans and offered a different avenue for the freedom movement.
However, the so called founder of the Coffee Party has been quickly exposed as an Obama campaign operative, whose caffeine concept was purely designed to undermine and co-opt the Tea Party ideology.

What Are Banks Doing with Their Depositors' Money?
So if the banks are not making loans, what are they doing with depositor money?
Well, they are still lending, but not to businesses and consumers. They are lending to the federal government.
Banks don’t lend directly to the federal government of course, but buying US government paper accomplishes the same thing in the end. Depositor money is sent to the federal government, ether directly when banks purchase newly issued government paper or indirectly when they purchase

Sooooooo, the Federal Government "borrows" money which the taxpayers have to repay eventually, then GIVES it to the banks, only to borrow it back at interest, which the people will get to pay for?

Other wiser and perhaps not so blunt observers saw what was coming.

Head of IMF Proposes New Reserve Currency
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=9958995

Goldman Sachs Lists “Adverse Publicity” as a Potential Risk to It's Core Business.
According to a regulatory filing made by Goldman Sachs, it now views negative public opinion, listed as “adverse publicity”, as a part of a list of factors that could pose risk to the its core business, reports American Banking News.
What's their game plan to try and turn the adverse publicity around? Goldman is attempting to win over public opinion by acknowledging mistakes, writes ABN. WTF? Oh yeah, "acknowledging mistakes," that'll work.
It's like a bank robber apologizing for double parking, after he robbed a bank.
It's like Charles Manson apologizing for getting the house floors bloody, after he massacred a family.

Is Goldman responsible for Greek crisis?
Goldman Sachs tricky derivatives trades may have masked the Greek debt just long enough to hurt all of us again. Goldman Sachs made up an exchange rate that allowed the Greeks to look as though they were only engaging in a currency swap when, in effect, they were getting more than a billion more than they should have from the trades in credit. Its likely that Goldman made a killing on the commissions for the swaps, and then sold the swaps to a Greek bank for even higher profits.

Is the Fed rigging the stock market?
January 5, 2010, MSN Money
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/top-stocks/blog.aspx?post=1528464
It is not illegal for the Federal Reserve or the U.S. Treasury to buy S&P 500 futures. This type of intervention could explain some of the unusual market action in recent months, with stock prices grinding higher on low volume even as companies sold huge amounts of new shares and retail investors stayed on the sidelines. Some market watchers have charted that virtually all of the market’s upside since mid-September has come from after-hours futures activity. [These claims are] based on an analysis of the possible sources of the $600 billion in net new cash that was needed to boost the U.S. stock market capitalization by $6 billion since March. The usual sources, such as retail investors and pension funds, could muster only about $100 billion. The rest had to come from somewhere. The Fed has been openly buying some $1.7 trillion worth of long-term bonds since last March, which is something it hasn't done since the 1950s. Today, the Fed is making purchases to support housing by keeping mortgages cheap. As these purchases are phased out over the next few months, long-term interest rates will continue to move higher. This will cause long-term bond prices to fall, causing this new "bond bubble" to deflate. Stock investors will benefit, just as they did in the 1950s and 1960s as capital was moved from falling bonds into rising stocks.

Goldman Sachs Wants You to Pay-by-the-Mile to Drive on U.S. Roadways
His comments came amid recent news of a radical plan to raise $200 billion by privatizing “the motorway network,” as Brits call it. The plan was presented to the three main political parties by NM Rothschild, the influential investment bank, British news sources say.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Here is the problem with all this privatization. Nobody in the government or at Goldman Sachs is thinking about how ordinary people will come up with all these billions of dollars they claim these schemes will raise.
GS and the government are still living in this delusional state in which they continue to see the general population as a vast untapped pool of wealth which is theirs for the taking.
The reality is that all the money has been sucked out of society and poured all over Wall Street and all the added taxation and fees can do is shut down an already stuttering economic machine.

Citigroup Warns Customers It May Refuse To Allow Withdrawals
The image of banks locking their doors to keep customers from making withdrawals during a bank run is what immediately came to mind when we heard that Citigroup was telling customers it has the right to prevent any withdrawals from checking accounts for seven days.
"Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change," Citigroup said on statements received by customers all over the country.
What's going on? It seems that this is something of an error. The seven day notice policy only applies to customers in

Canadian Prime Minister Delivers Global Governance Plan
During the January 2010 World Economic Summit in Davos Switzerland Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the current Chairman of the G-20, presented the upcoming agenda for the G-20 and G-8 meetings to be held in Ontario in June. Many were shocked to hear this Conservative leader declare that “we also know markets need governance. For the new global economy, the G-20 is what we have.”
Economic “Crisis” = One World Corporate Socialist Government Opportunity
With the continuing global economic “crisis” brought on by the international banksters, the European community—which already has one common awful fiat currency (the Euro)—is now talking about creating a European economic government to oversee the economies of all of the individual European states. Of course, this was the whole point of creating the economic “crisis” in the first place. As usual, the first two bankster shills to call for this scheme are

First, a European economic (i.e., corporate Socialist) government. Then, a North American economic government (Hello, Amero!).

33 States Have Raised Taxes by $32 Billion/Year
The national recession has had such a devastating effect on state finances that states took in $87 billion less in tax revenue from October 2008 through September 2009 than they collected in the previous 12 months. This 11 percent decline, the steepest on record, resulted from the impact on tax collections of lost jobs, reduced wages, and lowered economic activity.
To recoup lost revenue, states have taken such actions as eliminating tax exemptions, broadening tax bases, and in some cases increasing rates as well as raising a number of fees.

Fragile planète financière 1
Yan Barcelo, 20 février 2010
L’économie donne des signes de vie, clame-t-on partout. C’est tant mieux. Mais gare au vampire financier, prêt, à la première occasion, à sucer tout le sang possible du convalescent économique.
La crise grecque a été l’occasion pour moi de refaire un petit tour du jardin financier et d’en constater toute la flore vénéneuse. Tout d’abord, on a vu à l’œuvre dans cette crise les jeux de dérivés financiers dont on a abondamment parlé, tous des swaps dette-contre-devise que Goldman Sachs a mis en place pour le gouvernement grec et qui ont contribué à masquer la pleine ampleur de cette dette. Rien là de très étonnant, les dérivés financiers ayant été créés dans une grande mesure pour contourner les lois et règles et maquiller tout détail financier qu’on pourrait considérer quelque peu déplacé ou… obscène.
Et il y a eu les jeux de CDS (credit default swaps ou swaps sur défaillance) auxquels se sont livrées les banques de Wall Street et quelques autres géants financiers. Voilà une des créatures les plus originales et pernicieuses de la pharmacie financière contemporaine. N’entrons pas dans le fin détail physiologique de ces créatures et contentons-nous de savoir qu’il s’agit d’un produit d’assurance tout à fait inouï : on peut acheter un CDS pour assurer un actif financier qu’on ne détient pas et qu’a n’a jamais détenu! C’est un peu comme si on détenait une assurance sur la vie d’un voisin. Un telle assurance est une invitation à l’assassinat!
Et c’est à un tel jeu d’assassinat les banques se sont livrées avec les obligations de
Mais la crise grecque m’a permis de rafraîchir le sens du mot « contagion » tel qu’il s’applique dans le monde financier. Au niveau le plus superficiel, il y a eu contagion dans les marchés obligataires où, dès que le président grec a annoncé que son pays pourrait faire défaut en avril et mai sur le remboursement de dettes venant à échéance, les investisseurs se sont mis à vendre en bloc les obligations d’autres pays présentant des risques de défaut : les fameux autres PIGS européens (Portugal, Irlande, et Espagne). À ce niveau, la contagion s’est donc propagée très rapidement et le rhume grec a réussi à contaminer les obligations des autres PIGS.
Mais il y a bien d’autres risques de contagion qui flottent dans l’air financier. À l’Est, la crise grecque risque d’obliger les banques de ce pays de retirer les sommes qu’elles ont prêté à des pays d’Europe de l’Est. Ça pourrait faire mal, très mal, surtout quand on sait que les prêts grecs de 19 milliards $US en Roumanie représentent environ 16% du marché de capitaux dans ce pays, selon
Les problèmes sont pires à l’Ouest. Les banques allemandes et françaises détiennent entre 40 et 50% de la dette grecque, alors que la part qui incombe aux banques suisses représente 11,5% du PIB de l’Helvétie (selon un étude de Morgan Stanley). On peut comprendre que ces banques – par leur pays interposés – poussent très fort pour que l’Union européenne vole au secours de
Mais on ferait erreur de voir la contagion s’arrêter aux portes des banques européennes. Car, la menace de défaut de
À présent, voyons un peu la géographie d’endettement dans laquelle circulent tous ces actifs de la finance virtuelle. On nous parle de pays où le taux d’endettement est immense, par exemple en Italie, où la dette du gouvernement s’élève à 115% du PIB. Mais ces chiffres « officiels » qu’on nous lance à la figure sont passablement aseptisés. Car le vrai niveau de la dette en Italie n’accapare pas 115% du PIB de ce pays, mais bien plutôt 364%, comme le révèle une étude de 2009 du National Policy for Financial Analysis, à Washington (http://www.ncpa.org/pdfs/st319.pdf). Ce que les chiffres habituels négligent d’indiquer c’est tout l’endettement dénué de provisions que représentent en Italie les fonds de pension, les systèmes de santé et quoi encore. C’est ainsi qu’en Allemagne, l’endettement total atteint 418% du PIB, en France, 549%, en Grèce, 875%, en Pologne, 1500%! Aux Etats-Unis, l’endettement total, tel que le calcule la firme de Toronto Sprott Asset Management, s’élève à 110 trillions $US, soit environ 730% du PIB. Quel sera le prochain pays à ne pas pouvoir honorer la part de ses dettes venant à échéance à court terme?
Peut-être qu’un prochain choc ne viendra pas d’un pays souverain incapable d’honorer ses dettes. Peut-être que ce choc viendra de
Pour l’instant, ces montagnes de dette sont bien dissimulées, et peuvent le demeurer un bon moment encore. Mais un jour, elles ne pourront qu’éclater au grand jour. Le jour, par exemple, où quelques gouvernements, en Europe ou aux Etats-Unis, s’avéreront incapables de payer les versements de pension de leurs citoyens. Ou qu’ils devront hausser les taxes de façon prohibitive simplement pour continuer à faire fonctionner quelques services publics devenu rachitiques.
Allons-nous passer au travers de tous ces écueils qui s’accumulent à l’horizon? C’est possible. Mais très-très peu probable. Nos jours d’abondance sont comptés.

EU Chief Vows To Run UK Economy From Brussels

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso claimed that financial stability was so critical that sweeping new powers were needed for Eurocrats in
But his threat sparked an angry backlash from critics of an ever- growing
It raised fears that the EU – under unelected new President Herman van Rompuy – is planning a power grab.
Timothy Kirkhope, the leader of Tory Euro MPs, said: “The idea of compulsory economic policies is deeply disturbing. It reflects a very old fashioned ‘command and control’ approach which does not solve problems of the 21st century.” Mats Persson, director of think-tank Open Europe, said: “Economic growth cannot be forced from the centre.
“The unelected Commission is seeking to gain power over one of the corefeatures of democratic politics, deciding how a country’s economy is run. This has no public support and runs the risk of being hijacked by narrow political interests.”
Mr Barroso unveiled plans to restore growth and said: “The economic crisis is worse than anyone imagined and increased economic inter-dependence demands a more determined response and makes the case for stronger economic governance in the EU.
“Now we have the Lisbon Treaty, which provides for (economic) policy...warnings. The Commission intends to use these powers to the full.”

Still furious over the crippling aftermath of the global financial crisis, Iceland's voters on Saturday resoundingly rejected a $5.3 billion plan to pay off Britain and the Netherlands for debts spawned by the collapse of an Icelandic Internet bank, according to initial results.

The brains trust of the Pentagon says it is just months away from producing a jet fuel from algae for the same cost as its fossil-fuel equivalent.
The claim, which comes from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) that helped to develop the internet and satellite navigation systems, has taken industry insiders by surprise. A cheap, low-carbon fuel would not only help the US military, the nation's single largest consumer of energy, to wean itself off its oil addiction, but would also hold the promise of low-carbon driving and flying for all.

Classic false flag. The US and the current puppet regime in Iraq are terrified that they could see a repeat of the Gaza election, in which the Palestinians refused to vote for the "approved" party, so inevitably we get false-flag terror attacks to be blamed on the opposition.
But think about it for a moment. The opposition NEEDS the support of the public. Any group working to change the system needs public support. They are not going to go out and commit acts that alienate the very people whose support they need.
That is why these bombings are all deadly hoaxes intended to demonize the threat to the US puppet regime.

Mossad murdered 530 Iraqi scientists.
Numerous reports for many months have stated that with collaboration from American occupation forces, Israel ’s espionage apparatus, Mossad, slaughtered at least 530 Iraqi scientists and academic professors.
Assassinations of Iraq academics in Iraq never existed prior to April 2003. Persistent Israeli hit squads against Iraqi scientists had been active in Iraq since April 2003, but the latest chapter was uncovered on Tuesday, 14 June 2005 by the Palestine Information Center which, citing a report compiled by the United States Department of State and intended for the American President, stated that Israeli and foreign agents sent by Mossad, in cooperation with United States, to Iraq, killed at least 350 Iraqi scientists and more than 200 university professors and academic personalities .
According to the report, which was referred to the U.S. president George W. Bush, Mossad agents had been operating in Iraq with the aim of liquidating Iraqi nuclear and biology scientists, among other scientists, and prominent university professors.
That was after the U.S. failed to persuade those scientists to cooperate with or work for it.
Iraq invasion had no 'legal basis in international law'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/7078079/Chilcot-inquiry-Iraq-invasion...
The invasion of Iraq had no "legal basis in international law", the senior government lawyer Sir Michael Wood has told the Chilcot inquiry. Sir Michael ... was the most senior legal adviser at the Foreign Office at the time of the invasion. "I considered that the use of force against Iraq in March 2003 was contrary to international law," he said in a written statement. "In my opinion, that use of force had not been authorised by the (United Nations) Security Council, and had no other basis in international law." Jack Straw, then the foreign secretary, rejected advice that the war would be unlawful, the inquiry heard. Sir Michael wrote to Mr Straw on January 24, 2003 to express concerns about comments [Straw] made to then-US vice president Dick Cheney. Mr Straw told Mr Cheney that Britain would "prefer" a second resolution but it would be "OK" if they tried and failed to get one "a la Kosovo ". Sir Michael commented that this was "completely wrong from a legal point of view". Sir Michael said this was "probably the first and only occasion" that a minister rejected his legal advice in this way.

This is a terrifying commentary about how stretched to the limit the US military has become.

Will the only thing preventing her from facing a court-martial, and/or serving jail time, be an abortion?!?

Canada wanted Afghan prisoners tortured: lawyer http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2010/03/05/afghan-attaran005.html
Federal government documents on Afghan detainees suggest that Canadian officials intended some prisoners to be tortured in order to gather intelligence, according to a legal expert. If the allegation is true, such actions would constitute a war crime, said University of Ottawa law professor Amir Attaran, who has been digging deep into the issue and told CBC News he has seen uncensored versions of government documents released last year. "If these documents were released [in full], what they will show is that Canada partnered deliberately with the torturers in Afghanistan for the interrogation of detainees," he said. "There would be a question of rendition and a question of war crimes on the part of certain Canadian officials. That's what's in these documents, and that's why the government is covering up as hard as it can."
Canadian troops told to ignore child rape by Afghan allies.
As reported last fall in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, Canadian military chaplins and some soldiers have been complaining as far back as 2006 that Afghan security forces have been sodomizing young boys on their base. These military whistle-blowers charge that the military brass has been ignoring or burying their complaints, fearing the bad publicity they could generate. The paper reports that Canadian military police have also complained, as reported by Brig.-Gen. J.C. Collin, commander of Land Force Central Area, that they were being told "not to interfere in incidents in which Afghan forces were having sex with children."

KABUL -- The military helicopters swooped in from behind the three-vehicle convoy as it wound through a remote road in southern Afghanistan , and survivors of last week's deadly attack said they had no idea they were in danger until the lead four-wheel drive vehicle exploded. After seeing the gruesome aftermath of that rocket strike, survivors of the NATO attack told McClatchy Newspapers, women jumped from the second car and frantically waved their head scarves to try to stop the attack. A two-star American general is in southern Afghanistan investigating the Feb. 21 strike, which killed 21 Afghans in Daykundi province and quickly prompted U.S. Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal to deliver a videotaped apology. Survivors said they want more than that, however. "What do we do with his apology?" said Hussain Dilbarian, a 20-year-old survivor of the strike. "It doesn't make any difference. The killers should be handed over to us. We don't want anything else."
Marine reportedly killed by opium-fueled private contractors

The Pentagon confirmed late Tuesday that it is investigating the death of a 24-year-old Indiana Marine after he was shot to death in Afghanistan , allegedly by several US-paid private security contractors. The contractors, according to a fellow Marine in Afghanistan who communicated with an investigative reporter in Chicago , were Afghanis who were found with "copious amounts of opium" and had been paid by the United States as guards.

Fiction of Marja as City Was U.S. Information War
For weeks, the U.S. public followed the biggest offensive of the Afghanistan War against what it was told was a "city of 80,000 people" as well as the logistical hub of the Taliban in that part of Helmand. That idea was a central element in the overall impression built up in February that Marja was a major strategic objective, more important than other district centres in Helmand . It turns out, however, that the picture of Marja presented by military officials and obediently reported by major news media is one of the clearest and most dramatic pieces of misinformation of the entire war, apparently aimed at hyping the offensive as a historic turning point in the conflict.
The decision to hype up Marja as the objective of "Operation Moshtarak" by planting the false impression that it is a good-sized city would not have been made independently by the Marines at Camp Leatherneck .
