La venue des grandes révoltes et du nouvel ordre mondial

greece-main

Voilà enfin le chat qui sort du sac: le gouvernement Harper a finalement admis publiquement qu’il va encourir de forts déficits budgétaires pendant au moins les quatre prochaines années, à commencer avec des prédictions de déficits de $30 milliards dès le budget 2009-10. Ça ne prenait pas une tête à Papineau pour prévoir cela. Avec ces $75 milliards octroyés aux banquiers canadiens par Harper, il est évident qu’un trou noir abyssal serait créé dans les finances publiques. C’est entre autres ce que je vous rapportais lors de mes deux derniers billets et c’est aussi la réalité que mes confrères collaborant à ce site ont essayés de vous convier (Voir 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Ne comptez pas sur les Libéraux et leur nouveau chef Michael Ignatieff pour vous aider parce qu’il vient de proposer de remonter la TPS pour aider à financer tout ce gâchis.

À ce massif $75 000 000 000 que Harper a accordé aux banques à charte canadienne – sans nous consulter avant de donner notre argent à ces banquiers – se rajoutera maintenant autour de $4 milliards pour les constructeurs automobiles… jusqu’au mois de mars après quoi ils auront besoin d’un autre $4 milliards. Et ensuite d’un autre. Et un autre. Et un autre…


Les constructeurs automobiles


Il reste que nous tenons pour acquis que de prendre de l’argent d’une partie de la population pour la donner à une autre soit louable. Certains diront que nous ne pouvons pas laisser les trois géants Chrysler, Ford et GM faire faillite dans le but de protéger les emplois, mais si nous avons cessé de consommer leurs produits, c’est qu’il y a bien une raison. Même si nous leur lançons tout notre argent alors que personne n’achète leur produit, ne sont-ils pas condamnés de toute façon? Combien d’argent leur avons-nous donné ces dernières décennies? Si nous sommes pour décider de les «sauver», ne devrions-nous pas leur imposer certaines conditions, comme de prendre part aux futurs profits ainsi que les forcer à produire des véhicules qui fonctionnent avec d’autres sources d’énergie que du pétrole, chose que nous savons parfaitement faire depuis assez longtemps?

Les fonds de pension capitalisés


Parce que vous savez, cet argent, c’est vous qui le payez en fin de compte. Ces multichiffres dans la stratosphère des milliards seront payés à même vos fonds de pension, qui eux, sont carrément menacés de disparaitre. Le reste sera siphonné par les fonds de couverture (hedges funds) dans lesquels notre système spécial de fonds de pension capitalisés est investi en grande partie. 92% des avoirs de la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec sont investis à l’extérieur du Québec dont plus de 40% dans ces fonds de couvertures qui sont littéralement en train de s’écrouler. C’est la prochaine bulle financière qui va éclater. Mais attention, si vous pensiez que la bulle des hypothèques à risques était maligne, attendez de voir celle des dérivatifs. Nous parlons d’une bulle de 1,5 quadrillion de dollars ($1 500 000 000 000 000).

Nous faisons partie des quelques pays qui risquent de souffrir le plus de l’effondrement des fonds de pension capitalisés avec les États-Unis, le Japon l’Angleterre, la Hollande et le Danemark. Seulement qu’en 2008, ces fonds de pension ont perdu de $1500 à 4000 milliards et il est estimé qu’ils perdront au moins un autre $3000 milliards au courant de 2009. Ces gouvernements devront éventuellement nationaliser ces fonds de pension comme l’a fait l’Argentine dernièrement.

Ceci s’accompagnera de coupures importantes dans les services sociaux et autres dépenses publiques, de mises à pied massive qui mènera à l’effondrement des finances publiques tant au niveau fédéral que provincial, entrainant une accentuation et accélération de la privatisation de l’état laissant une plus grande emprise des créanciers sur l’appareil politique et un appauvrissement général de la population.


Terrorisme économique


Nous assistons ainsi à une forme pernicieuse de terrorisme économique. Henry Paulson, le Secrétaire du Trésor américain, a menacé plusieurs congressistes américains lors des débats sur le plan de sauvetage en septembre au Congrès: s’ils ne votaient pas pour le passage du plan de sauvetage de $700 milliards (qui se chiffre maintenant plutôt autour des $8500 milliards), alors ils verraient l’économie américaine s’effondrer la semaine suivante et la loi martiale serait imposée sur le territoire américain en suspendant la Constitution. Voilà ce que j’appelle du terrorisme économique. Ils ont d’ailleurs instauré une procédure spéciale qui accélère le passage de lois urgentes au Congrès qui est nommée «loi martiale», qui, celle-là, n’a rien à voir avec le déploiement de troupes dans les rues. À titre de comparaison, le programme lunaire Apollo des États-Unis pour aller sur la lune aurait couté 267 milliards en dollars ajustés d’aujourd’hui.

Bien sûr, un coup que l’argent fut approuvé, l’urgence disparue et l’argent fut distribué secrètement par la FED à divers amis banquiers et financiers de Wall Street qui en profitèrent pour se payer de gras bonus et salaire de l’ordre de $1.6 milliards en gage de récompense pour avoir si mal géré ces institutions financières en jouant au grand casino mondial, entrainant ainsi la crise que nous vivons présentement. D’ailleurs, une grande partie de cet argent servira au rachat d’autres institutions financières et autres compagnies et infrastructures publiques alors que le reste demeurera entre les mains des banques privées qui ont décidé de s’asseoir dessus en attendant de nous prêter plus tard cet argent qui nous appartient, en prenant soin d’y rajouter les intérêts.

La FED refuse de dévoiler comment et à qui elle a distribué plus de 2 trilliards de dollars provenant de… la poche des contribuables américains. Mais il semble que ce soit «business as usual» aux États-Unis, car même Donald Rumsfled avait annoncé la journée précédente des attaques du 11 septembre 2001 que le Pentagone avait écarté $2.3 trilliards de ses livres comptables. Heureusement, tous les documents relatifs à cette histoire seront détruits par les attaques dès le lendemain. Ah, c’est fou ce qu’on peut accomplir quand ces terroristes se décident de donner un coup de main…


Ce que 2009 nous réserve


Déjà plusieurs experts s’entendent pour dire que les États-Unis approchent l’insolvabilité et risquent de voir les finances du pays complètement s’effondrer d’ici l’été 2009 et commencer à faire défaut sur sa dette extérieure qui dépasse de loin 100% de son PIB.

Il est à prévoir que le déroulement de la crise systémique globale va atteindre un nouveau sommet vers mars 2009. À cette période de l’année, le public en général va devenir conscient de trois forces majeures déstabilisatrices qui sont à l’oeuvre dans l’économie globale:

– La durée de la crise qui ne se stabilisera pas avant la fin de 2010 et pas de croissance réelle avant 2018 selon le rapport LEAP/E2020 produit par GEAB;

– L’explosion du chômage à travers la planète;

– Le risque d’un soudain effondrement de tout le système des fonds de pension capitalisés.

Cela aura des conséquences. Dans le domaine de la prédiction des tendances du monde futur et des évènements économiques, Gerald Celente, le directeur du Trends Research Institute, est l’homme le plus respecté pour son exactitude. C’est celui qui a prédit le crash des marchés boursiers en 1987, l’éclatement de la bulle des hypothèques à risques (subprime) et la chute de l’Union Soviétique; et qui prédit maintenant qu’il y aura révolution aux États-Unis, des émeutes pour la nourriture et une rébellion contre les impôts et taxes d’ici les quatre prochaines années. Vers la fin de l’an 2012, il annonce que les États-Unis seront devenus un pays sous-développé. C’est que les gens seront furieux lorsqu’ils prendront conscience que les mauvaises décisions prises par leur gouvernement, industries et par la communauté financière les ont complètement ruinés. Ceci est corroboré par un mémo interne de la Citibank (autre responsable de la débâcle économique) qui prévoit que la création massive de nouvel argent par la FED et les autres banques centrales du monde mènera à un ou plusieurs de ces scénarios: une résurgence catastrophique de l’inflation et/ou à une profonde dépression suivit de troubles d’ordre civil et possiblement de guerres.

Mais il y a fort à parier que ces manifestations légitimes de la part du public seront attendues de pied ferme par les autorités. Il y a plus de 20 000 troupes de combat qui se trouvaient en Irak qui seront déployées graduellement sur le territoire américain pour maintenir l’ordre en cas de troubles civils. Le U.S. Army War College parle dans son dernier rapport d’utiliser des ressources et troupes du Pentagone dans le cas où la crise économique mènerait à des troubles civils, comme des protestations contre des corporations et le gouvernement ou contre des banques assiégées. Donc, on ne va pas protéger la population, mais bien les riches possédants de corporations et les banquiers.

Ce type de révolte a déjà commencé en Grèce et dans plusieurs autres pays en Europe et on s’attend à ce que cette révolte de la population se manifeste un peu partout dans le monde. (23/12/08 12h00 – Note: Les incidents en Grèce témoignent d’un malaise beaucoup plus profond que la simple mort d’un adolescent. Ce que les médias refusent de vous laisser comprendre, c’est que cette mort ne fut que l’élément déclencheur. Mais les Grecques en ont eu assez de ce système financier et le résultat est que plusieurs banques et institutions financières ont été attaquées par les manifestants. Ces derniers pourraient laisser à penser que ce n’est qu’une bande d’anarchistes qui se défoulent, mais la vérité est qu’une large majorité de la population les soutient et est d’accords avec leurs actions, comme révélé par un sondage mené là-bas. C’est sur la base de la manifestation contre la globalisation qui fait en sorte que ces révoltes s’étendent à plusieurs autres pays européens ainsi que possiblement aux États-Unis.)


Le nouvel ordre mondial annoncé


De ce grand chaos dont l’élite est volontairement responsable viendra la possibilité de faire émerger leur grand rêve d’une gouvernance mondiale. La venue de ce gouvernement global, aussi connu sous l’appellation du nouvel ordre mondial, est maintenant admise et annoncée par le prestigieux journal de Londres, The Financial Times, dans cet article nommé «And now for a world government». L’élite ne se cache plus et leur but est annoncé publiquement. À vous d’en prendre note. Ils ont déterminé que ce nouvel ordre mondial sera imposé par la force, ou encore mieux, sera demandé et accepté par la population mondiale qui, trop terrorisée par le chaos engendré par la crise financière, se rendra à cette élite pour être sauvée.

Iraq cheers reporter for Bush shoe attack

Citizens in Baghdad have ennobled a frogmarched Iraqi reporter for throwing his shoes at lame duck US President George W. Bush.

Iraqi reporter Muntadhar al-Zaidi shocked the world on Sunday by hurling his shoes at the visiting US president, who had come to the war-torn country to say farewell.

Sitting in the third row at a press conference attended by Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the reporter ‘jumped up’ and shouted « It is the farewell kiss, you dog. »

Showing the sole of your shoe to someone in the Arab world is a sign of extreme disrespect, and throwing your shoes is even worse.

A study conducted by ORB — a well-known British polling agency which has been tracking public opinion in Iraq since 2005 — estimated in September 2007 that 1.2 million Iraqis had been killed in violence-related incidents following the March 2003 invasion of the country.

This is while Human Rights Watch estimates put the number of those killed during a period of twenty years of the reign of deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein at 250,000 to 290,000.


Across Mideast, Arabs hail shoe-hurling journalist

Thousands of Iraqis took to the streets Monday to demand the release of a reporter who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush, as Arabs across many parts of the Middle East hailed the journalist as a hero and praised his insult as a proper send-off to the unpopular U.S. president.


Bush Comparison Seen As Unfair to Dogs

This is the question now raised in Iraq: If they throw shoes at your face are you a combat troop or a noncombat troop? The answer may be important in helping to guide President Elect Obama’s strategy of reducing but continuing the genocidal occupation that has made a shoeless journalist one of the most beloved, if little known, people in the world overnight.


Send Shoes To Bush The Genocidal Maniac

Play the game

Join the protest: (I don’t know who began this, but I think it is a great idea)

Please forward to all your lists and join the campaign.

Nouvel Ordre Mondial:


And now for a world government

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Here comes the call for a global government. It sounds benign and wonderful until you remember two important points.

1. Global government is what Alexander the Great and Hitler (among others) wanted.

2. Globalism is what turned a US economic melt-down into a world-wide disaster.


Financial Times Editorial Admits Agenda For Dictatorial World Government

The Financial Times, one of the most respected and widely read newspapers on the planet, features an editorial today that openly admits the agenda to create a world government based on anti-democratic principles and concedes that the term “global governance” is merely a euphemism for the move towards a centralized global government.

Greek-inspired protests spread across Europe

The unrest that has gripped Greece is spilling over into the rest of Europe, raising concerns the clashes could be a trigger for opponents of globalization, disaffected youth and others outraged by the continent’s economic turmoil and soaring unemployment.

Protesters in Spain, Denmark and Italy smashed shop windows, pelted police with bottles and attacked banks this week, while in France, cars were set ablaze Thursday outside the Greek consulate in Bordeaux, where protesters scrawled graffiti warning about a looming « insurrection. »

At least some of the protests were organized over the Internet, showing how quickly the message of discontent can be spread, particularly among tech-savvy youth. One Web site Greek protesters used to update each other on the locations of clashes asserted there have been sympathy protests in nearly 20 countries.

More demonstrations were set for Friday in Italy, France and Germany.


Banks gas-bombed in Athens

Five banks were attacked overnight in Athens, police said Saturday as youths prepared to assemble at the scene of a teen’s killing by police one week ago.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

The fact that the banks were attacked confirms that the real issue in all these riots is opposition to the financial system which is impoverishing the world’s people.


Fears of unrest spreading across Europe

THE unrest that has gripped Greece this week is spilling into the rest of Europe, raising concerns that it could be a trigger for opponents of globalisation, disaffected youth and others outraged by economic turmoil.

Protesters in Spain, Denmark and Italy smashed shop windows, pelted police with bottles and attacked banks this week, while in France cars were set ablaze on Thursday outside the Greek consulate in Bordeaux, where protesters warned about a looming « insurrection ».

Greece-Style Riots Coming To U.S.

Frighteningly accurate trends forecaster Gerald Celente says that America will see riots similar to those currently ongoing in Greece and that the cause will be a hyper-inflationary depression, leading to the inevitable use of troops and mercenaries to deal with the crisis as Americans are incarcerated in internment camps.


Who are the protesters in Greece?

The fatal police shooting of a teenager in Athens on Saturday and its violent aftermath are in many ways a spill over of a decades-long conflict that has simmered between police and far-left anarchist groups.

The violence has also laid bare a deeper anger that has been gaining ground in Greece over the government’s policies in slashing budget deficits and pushing on with unpopular reforms such as privatisations.

This anger has been exacerbated by a series of financial and political scandals among prominent members of the government of Costas Karamanlis, Greece’s prime minister.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

I knew there was more going on than just that shooting.

9 more banks nationalized

Nine more banks said their applications to sell preferred stock to the Treasury Department were approved. They will receive a total of $133.4 million in taxpayer capital.

This makes nearly 200 banks the Bush regime has nationalized so far.


Fed Refuses to Disclose Recipients of $2 Trillion in Lending

The Federal Reserve refused a request by Bloomberg News to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from U.S. taxpayers and the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

What is happening here is the new « taxation without representation », which caused a bit of a stir here some 200 plus years ago.

This is the Fed saying, « we can take your money, which you worked hard to earn, and give it our cronies, and you…little people… don’t deserve to know at all what’s going on with it. Go back to your puny little jobs… nothing to see here, move along! »

But, you argue, we have elected legislators who are supposed to represent us!

Really?!?!

No; we have representatives who have become the acquisitions of those large corporations which support them, covertly and overtly.

As long as that tax money keeps flowing, our alleged representatives don’t give a damn about the people it’s coming from.

The concept of representative government in this country has become one sick, stupid joke, played on the taxpayers at their expense.

Ex-Nasdaq chair arrested on fraud charge in NYC

A former Nasdaq stock market chairman was arrested on a securities fraud charge Thursday, accused of running a fraudulent investment business that lost at least $50 billion before he confessed to senior employees it was a « giant Ponzi scheme, » authorities said.


How low can the Fed go?

The inflating balance sheet is making life hard for the Fed. In the early phases of the present mayhem, Fed officials funded their programs as they drew down holdings of Treasury bonds. They used the proceeds to finance new programs. But officials don’t want the backroom pile to get too low — like your savings account, credit rating, Social Security, or my bond portfolio. The Fed nut is now at $476 billion, with a chunk of it committed to other programs. The Fed has actually asked the Treasury Department for cash. Bernanke offered to go out in the street with his hat in hand.


Madoff warnings ‘ignored for 10 years’

Pressure has been growing on the SEC over the last week to explain how the Wall Street regulator could have missed a colossal scam.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

As reported at:

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/WallStreet/story?id=6471863&page=1

« At a business roundtable meeting last year, Madoff boasted of his « very close » relationship with a SEC regulator, chuckling as he said, « in fact, my niece even married one. »

The very rich, and well connected, rarely eat their own.


‘PONZI SCHEME’ AT CITI

A new Citigroup scandal is engulfing Robert Rubin and his former disciple Chuck Prince for their roles in an alleged Ponzi-style scheme that’s now choking world banking.

Director Rubin and ousted CEO Prince – and their lieutenants over the past five years – are named in a federal lawsuit for an alleged complex cover-up of toxic securities that spread across the globe, wiping out trillions of dollars in their destructive paths.

Ecuador Defaults!

Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa officially announced that he will not be making the interest payments on his foreign bonds. The country has officially defaulted on its debt obligations. This is the 2nd time in 10 years that Ecuador has defaulted.

“I have given the order that interest payments not be made,” Correa said. “The country is in default.”

Collapse of Pension Funds: The End of Retirement?

Unless things change fast, human history will show that the phenomenon of “retirement” was limited to one generation. After World War II, when European and Japanese economies stood in tatters, American capitalism could fulfill “the American dream,” since there was little foreign competition to speak of. For the first time ever, workers were promised that — after working thirty or so years — they would be able to securely retire. That was largely the case…for one generation.

Santé:

Une compagnie pharmaceutique force les familles pauvres à tester ses vaccins : 12 bébés morts

GlaxoSmithKline, la grande compagnie pharmaceutique, a été accusée de faire pression sur des parents pauvres du Tiers Monde pour qu’ils engagent leurs enfants dans des essais expérimentaux de médicaments qui ont entraîné la mort d’au moins 12 enfants.

Cette compagnie teste actuellement un vaccin expérimental contre la pneumonie sur les enfants de moins d’un an en Argentine, en Colombie et au Panama. Selon la Fédération argentine des Professionnels de la Santé (Feprosa), des parents pauvres argentins ont été « obligés et contraints de signer les formulaires d’acceptation. »

Juan Carlos Fesprosa de Palomares a dit : « Dans la plupart des cas, ces gens, forcés d’engager leurs enfants, sont défavorisées, beaucoup d’entre eux ne sachant ni lire ni écrire. »

« Cela se déroule sans aucune sorte de contrôle étatique [et] ne satisfait pas aux exigences éthiques minimums, » a observé la fédération.

Au moins 12 bébés argentin incorporés dans l’étude sont morts au cours de l’année écoulée.

Répondant aux reproches, GlaxoSmithKline a rétorqué que ses stricts protocoles de sécurité sont contrôlés par un comité indépendant, et que personne n’est forcé de participer au programme.

« L’inscription aux tests est sur la base du volontariat et ceux qui participent aux essais sont libres de se retirer à tout moment, » a fait savoir la compagnie.

Mais, selon Julieta Ovejero, la grand-tante de l’un des enfants décédés, « Beaucoup de gens voulant arrêter le protocole n’en sont pas autorisés ; ils sont forcés de continuer, menacés de ne recevoir aucun autre vaccin en cas d’abandon. »

Le test du vaccin a aussi suscité des accusations de corruption : Dans la province argentine de Santiago del Estero, les essais ont été autorisés par le Ministre de la Santé de la province, Juan Carlos Smith, le frère du principal chercheur de l’étude.

Des critiques, comme Ana Maria Marchese, pédiatre à l’hôpital pour enfants de Santiago del Estero, où l’étude est en cours, accusent GlaxoSmithKline d’utiliser les enfants du Tiers Monde comme des cobayes.

« Parce qu’ils ne peuvent pas expérimenter en Europe ou aux États-Unis, ils viennent le faire dans les pays du Tiers Monde, » dit-elle.

It’s official: Men really are the weaker sex

December 7, 2008, The Independent (One of the U.K.’s leading newspapers)

The male [sex] is in danger, with incalculable consequences for both humans and wildlife, startling scientific research from around the world reveals. The research … shows that a host of common chemicals is feminising males of every class of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, including people. Backed by some of the world’s leading scientists, who say that it « waves a red flag » for humanity and shows that evolution itself is being disrupted, the report comes out at a particularly sensitive time for ministers. It also follows hard on the heels of new American research which shows that baby boys born to women exposed to widespread chemicals in pregnancy are born with smaller penises and feminised genitals. « This research shows that the basic male tool kit is under threat, » says Gwynne Lyons, a former government adviser on the health effects of chemicals, who wrote the report. Wildlife and people have been exposed to more than 100,000 new chemicals in recent years, and the European Commission has admitted that 99 per cent of them are not adequately regulated. There is not even proper safety information on 85 per cent of them. Many have been identified as « endocrine disrupters » – or gender-benders – because they interfere with hormones. These include phthalates, used in food wrapping, cosmetics and baby powders among other applications; flame retardants in furniture and electrical goods; PCBs, a now banned group of substances still widespread in food and the environment; and many pesticides.

Torture:

Cheney admits authorizing detainee’s torture


When asked by ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl whether he approved of interrogation tactics used against a so-called « high value prisoner » at the controversial Guantanamo Bay prison, Mr. Cheney, in a break from his history of being press-shy, admitted to giving official sanctioning of torture.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

OK, Cheney just admitted he authorized torture on national television.

And what happens now?!? Will there be a trial, a prosecution, and a conviction of Cheney and his enabling minions who normalized torture as an accepted US interrogation technique?

Not on your life. The people who put conspired to drag the moral standing, and international reputation, of this nation down to the level of Uzbekistan ‘s, will get off scott free.

And that is the real crime.


Senate torture report confirms Bush, top officials guilty of war crimes

A report issued Thursday by the Senate Armed Services Committee has provided official and bipartisan confirmation that the infamous acts of torture carried out by US personnel at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo were planned, ordered and orchestrated by the highest-ranking officials in the US government. Based on the Senate’s own conclusions, those named in the document, including President George W. Bush, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, are guilty of war crimes.


Iraqi group files 200 lawsuits against Rumsfeld, US security firms for torture

A Jordan-based Iraqi rights group said on Monday it has filed 200 lawsuits against US former defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld and American security firms for their alleged role in torturing Iraqis.

Ali Qeisi, head of the group the « Society of Victims of the US Occupation in Iraq, » said the cases, relating to torture and abuse of Iraqi prisoners, have been recently filed in federal courts in Virginia, Michigan and Maryland.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Unless and until all who condoned, ordered, and signed off on the use of torture against detainees are prosecuted to the fullest extent of US law, this country’s moral fiber will have been ripped to shreds in an irrecoverable way.


US: Detainee dies in US custody in Iraq

The U.S. military says a detainee has died of an apparent heart attack while in custody at a U.S. detention facility in Baghdad.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

How many 25 year old men do you know who have had a « heart attack »?!?

This one stinks mightily.


Rep. Reyes: Since Torture Might Be Necessary, Obama Should Keep Torture Apologists Hayden, McConnell

Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told Congress Daily that President-elect Obama should keep Mike McConnell on as Director of National Intelligence and Michael Hayden as head of the CIA. He said Obama should keep “continuity” in the intelligence sector because we live in “a world that is very dangerous.”

Reyes dismissed concerns over Hayden and McConnell’s records as apologists for torture. He insisted that that “there are some options that need to be available” to interrogators — presumably beyond the Army Field Manuel — to get the best information:

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Memo to Representative Reyes; the United States of America should not torture, ever.

Apparently, Representative Reyes, you’ve never George Washington’s orders to his troops about never using torture on captured British soldiers.

And as we know from the time of the Inquisition, torture doesn’t get you the hard information you’re looking for; it only gets the tortured person to say what their torturers want them to say in order to get the torture to stop.

By torturing (even subcontracting or off-shoring it), we have de-facto withdrawn from any human rights treaty to which the US has been a signatory.

And if you want to elevate torture right up there with mom and apple pie, chew on this one for a moment; if torture is perfectly legitimate for us to practice on foreign nationals, then why is it not perfectly legitimate for foreign governments to torture US troops?

America used to be known as the land of the free, and the home of the brave. But there is nothing brave about torturing. It’s like never having to take responsibility for indulging your inner sadist, while the guys in the suits in some distant capital applaud you for what you have done to a fellow human being.

Ultimately, torturing puts us on the moral par with Uzbekistan, and that’s not the United States any country or person can look up to.

And Representative Reyes, one final, friendly word of advise; if you travel abroad, and feel compelled to bloviate about the American values of human rights, human decency, humanitarianism, and democracy, just please shut up until the urge passes.

You no longer represent a country which holds those values dear, and the world knows that.

Desperate Double Speak: Global Cooling Is Part Of Global Warming

An Associated Press article has stunned some readers by suggesting that an ongoing global cooling trend is actually indicative of how quickly the planet is succumbing to man-made global warming.

The bizarre statement appeared in a panic-inducing article that emphasizes man-made warming fears and highlights how president elect Obama must tackle them with new laws including a carbon tax “cap-and-trade” system.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

I think we can establish that the Global Warning cult is a perfect textbook example of politicians taking something that occurs naturally, and turning into a crisis to justify a new tax.

Al Gore and his associates have invested $300 million into selling you that global warming is YOUR fault and to guilt you into accepting a new carbon tax and further control over your life. and they are not about to let as little thing like Earth actually getting colder stand in their way!

Hence, expect to see a lot of these « Human-caused Global Warming MAKES the world cooler! » articles. But like the ice scene Al Gore « borrowed » from « The Day After Tomorrow », this idea that heat makes cold is just a sci-fi movie plot; not real science.


Environmental « Chicken Littles » have come home to roost at the AP

Amazing thing, that Global Warming. When the Earth warms, it’s Global Warming. When the Earth cools, it’s Global Warming. Place your bets on Global Warming, and you’ll come out a winner every time.


Whale songs drowned out by human noise pollution

December 3, 2008, Seattle Post-Intelligencer/Associated Press

The songs that whales and dolphins use to communicate, orient themselves and find mates are being drowned out by human-made noises in the world’s oceans. That sound pollution — everything from increasing commercial shipping and seismic surveys to a new generation of military sonar — is not only confounding the mammals, it also is further threatening the survival of these endangered animals. Studies show that these cetaceans, which once communicated over thousands of miles to forage and mate, are losing touch with each other, … experts said at a U.N. wildlife conference in Rome. « Call it a cocktail-party effect, » said Mark Simmonds, director of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, a Britain-based NGO. « You have to speak louder and louder until no one can hear each other anymore. » Environmental groups also are increasingly finding cases of beached whales and dolphins that can be linked to sound pollution, Simmonds said. Marine mammals are turning up on the world’s beaches with tissue damage similar to that found in divers suffering from decompression sickness. Scientists say the use of military sonar or seismic testing may have scared the animals into diving and surfacing beyond their physical limits. Several species of cetaceans are already listed as endangered or critically endangered from other causes, including hunting, chemical pollution, collisions with boats and entanglements with fishing equipment. Though it is not yet known precisely how many animals are affected, sound pollution is increasingly being recognized as a serious factor, the experts said.

Sur Les 7 du Québec: Coup d’état monarchique et bancaire au Canada

Coup d’état monarchique et bancaire au Canada

Si je vous demande qui est le chef d’État du Canada, plusieurs répondront que c’est le Premier ministre du Canada. En réalité, c’est la reine Élisabeth II qui est notre chef d’État. Vous, vous êtes ses sujets. C’est à travers le gouverneur général du Canada que son pouvoir est représenté et ce pouvoir est plus important que celui du Premier ministre lui-même. Présentement, c’est son Excellence la très honorable Michaëlle Jean, gouverneure générale et commandante en chef du Canada qui assume le pouvoir le plus élevé au pays et qui maintient un lien direct avec la monarque. On vous dira que ce n’est que cérémonial et figuratif. Mais si vous lisez les chartes du Commonwealth, vous constaterez que c’est les parlements des pays membres du Commonwealth qui sont cérémonials.

Gilles Duceppe et les autres ministres ainsi que ceux à la Chambre des communes du Québec, sans oublier les membres des forces armées, doivent porter allégeance et loyauté à la reine avant d’entrer en fonction.

Nous ne sommes pas réellement propriétaires de ce pays en tant que Canadiens. Environ 89% du territoire canadien (8,886,356 km²) constitue ce qu’on appelle les Terres de la Couronne du Canada, ce qui signifie que personne ne possède les terres (à part le 11% restant qui sont entre des mains privées). De ce fait, elles appartiennent à la reine du Canada. Dans les monarchies constitutionnelles, la sanction royale est un acte par lequel le monarque ou son représentant approuve une législation adoptée par le Parlement. Ensuite, nous avons la Gendarmerie royale du Canada. La face royale de la reine est partout sur notre argent. Toutes ces appellations et faits ne sont pas là pour des raisons sentimentales. Vous êtes la propriété, ainsi que tout ce pays, de Élisabeth II, par la grâce de Dieu, reine du Royaume-Uni, du Canada et de ses autres royaumes et territoires, chef du Commonwealth, défenseur de la foi.

Nous pouvons trouver la preuve de cela avec le «coup d’état monarchique» récent au Canada où le Parlement a été prorogé, c’est-à-dire fermé, ce qui met un terme à la session parlementaire et donc à tous les travaux en cours. Tout ceci pour permettre au gouvernement Harper d’éviter un vote de confiance qu’il aurait vraisemblablement perdu.

La conséquence d’une prorogation:

«Toutes les affaires non complétées sont abandonnées ou expirent au Feuilleton et tous les comités perdent leur mandat, permettant ainsi un nouveau départ à la session suivante.» – Source: La procédure et les usages de la Chambre des communes, des auteurs Robert Marleau et de Camille Montpetit.

Un autre exemple éloquent remonte au temps de Brian Mulroney alors qu’il faisait face à un Sénat dominé par les Libéraux qui refusaient de faire passer la loi sur la TPS et qui s’opposaient à l’Accord de libre-échange nord-américain (ALÉNA). Mulroney utilisa une provision constitutionnelle peu connue pour augmenter temporairement le nombre sénateurs de huit ainsi donnant la majorité au Conservateurs dans la haute chambre. C’est Élisabeth II qui les nommera. Démocratie de façade. La reine du Canada a décidé qu’elle voulait garder Harper car il soutient et implémente l’Union nord-américain et l’expansion de l’ALÉNA appelé à devenir la Zone de libre-échange des Amériques (ZLÉA).

Lorsque cela compte réellement et que les gens qui se tiennent derrière la reine d’Angleterre et du Canada n’aiment pas ce qui se passe au Canada, ils peuvent suspendre le Parlement et apposer leur véto contre n’importe quelle loi par simple décret de son représentant, le gouverneur général. La reine représente beaucoup plus que la simple royauté. Elle est la représentante de la Cité de Londres – que l’on nomme aussi la City – et ses intérêts financiers. La Cité est principalement composée de plus de 500 banques comme le Crédit Suisse, Barclays Bank, Bank of America, Citigroup et HSBC, de la Bourse de Londres, de compagnies d’assurance tel que la Lloyd’s of London, de grandes entreprises et de journaux. Nous pouvons donc dire que la reine est en quelque sorte la porte-parole et représentante de cette oligarchie.

eiir-canadian_parliament

Ceci étant dit, ce système de gouverneurs dans cette monarchie constitutionnelle canadienne et québécoise coûte excessivement cher aux contribuables canadiens. Selon les estimations du gouvernement fantoche, c’est plus de $30 millions que nous devons dépenser chaque année, soit environ le même montant que Harper voulait couper dans le financement des partis politiques dernièrement. Nous pouvons constater les priorités.

Donc, ce à quoi nous assistons est en quelque sorte un coup d’état monarchique et bancaire. N’oubliez pas que dans tout ce tourbillon politique, Harper a octroyé $75 milliards aux banques privées, dont une grande quantité de cet argent finira dans les mains de quelques banquiers à Londres. Un coup d’état silencieux et sans effusion de sang. Par contre, c’est notre économie et nos finances personnelles qui vont saigner. En effet, avec ce montant qui se rajoutera à la dette nationale et qui devra être remboursé avec les intérêts, nous pouvons nous attendre à subir un sérieux coup très bientôt.

Cela prendra forme de:

Sur les 7 du Québec: Charest et la reine Élisabeth II: yes we can!

Charest et la reine Élisabeth II: yes we can!

297007466_39ed72ba10

C’est Obama qui serait fier de nous: nous avons opté pour du changement! Le Québec a apparemment choisi le grand John James Charest comme premier ministre une troisième fois consécutive, une première depuis les années 50 que même les Réné Lévesque, Lucien Bouchard et Robert Bourrassa n’ont pas su accomplir. Bravo! Nous avons donné à notre sauveur un gouvernement légèrement majoritaire. Le grand prêtre Paul Desmarais a donné sa bénédiction et le peuple peut maintenant rentrer chez lui, après avoir assisté au sacrifice de 83 millions de dollars sur l’autel de la démocratie.

Tout va pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes. On va pouvoir continuer paisiblement à vendre le Québec aux enchères sans être ennuyé par ces radicaux extrémistes de la gauche qui refusent de tout privatiser et être les esclaves des grands intérêts financiers. Qu’on les envoie avec Omar Khadr et Maher Arar se faire torturer à Guantanamo ou autre prison secrète américaine à travers le monde. Terroriste, va!

Amir Khadir, microbiologiste et co-leader du parti Québec Solidaire a été élu dans son compté de Mercier à Montréal. C’est une première pour ce parti politique qui risque bien de devenir la nouvelle alternative qui remplacera la fausse alternative de l’ADQ dont le chef Mario Dumont a maintenant démissionné. Monsieur Khadir a besoin de se tenir tranquille et de ne pas nuire aux opérations du secteur privé pour démanteler et privatiser la province pour des peanuts parce qu’avec un nom pareil, il se retrouvera avec nos deux malheureux compères mentionnés plus haut. Mmmm, avec le nom que je porte, je ferais mieux de me surveiller aussi.

Les copains conservateurs de John Charest l’attendent les bras ouverts à Ottawa dès qu’il aura terminé de privatiser le Québec et le mettre sous le contrôle complet des grands intérêts financiers tout en appauvrissant la population. Un brillant avenir est devant lui et les portes lui sont ouvertes pour monter au ciel et finalement être un jour Premier ministre de la grande et magnifique colonie de Élisabeth II, par la grâce de Dieu, reine du Royaume-Uni, du Canada et de ses autres royaumes et territoires, chef du Commonwealth, défenseur de la foi.

Nous avons pu constater en effet, bien que peu s’y soit réellement arrêté pour y penser, que le Dominion du Canada est une démocratie parlementaire et une monarchie constitutionnelle sous le nom d’Empire britannique. Pour éviter de voir son gouvernement tomber, Harper, le Robin des bois inversé, n’a eu qu’à aller boire une tasse de thé avec Son Excellence la très honorable Michaëlle Jean et fermer le Parlement pour un certain temps. Tout ce qu’il y a de plus banal. Zap, on ferme le garage. On se revoit dans quelques semaines. «Yes we can».

Qui a vraiment le pouvoir dans cette colonie britannique?

As Crisis Mounts, Ecuador Declares Foreign Debt Illegitimate and Illegal

Amidst the spreading global financial crisis, a special debt audit commission released a report charging that much of Ecuador‘s foreign debt was illegitimate or illegal. The commission recommended that Ecuador default on $3.9 billion in foreign commercial debts–Global Bonds 2012, 2015 and 2030–the result of debts restructured in 2000 after the country’s 1999 default.


Obama confirme les choix de Hillary Clinton et de Robert Gates


Hillary Should Quit!

Politics surely makes for strange bedfellows. President-elect Barack Obama will officially announce on Monday his choice of New York Senator Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, a position that will make her the nation’s, and the world’s, top diplomat. It’s an appointment that for some comes as no surprise, as some sort of Obama/Clinton marriage always seemed inevitable. But to others, this decision is sure to be truly unfathomable.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

Essentially, you cannot take a job if the salary was increased during your current congressional term. And the salary for cabinet officials has gone up in the past year. Even if it is lowered back down, constitutional scholars say that may not be enough to fix the problem.

The question is whether this would be an issue at confirmation – if Clinton is nominated to the post – and who would raise it. Senators traditionally grant their colleagues some deference and it could be considered politics at its worst if Republicans try to block her nomination with this argument. But senators may be loathe to vote for something scholars tell them is unconstitutional.

But the moment Obama makes the nomination, he violates the Constitution.


The Death of Vincent Foster

This is the story that nobody dares touch.

Despite having reported the discovery of Dr. Haut’s signed report confirming the existence of a second wound to Vincent Foster’s neck, radio host Rush Limbaugh to this very day refers to Vincent Foster’s death as a suicide.

Even Matt Drudge, when presented with the FBI records proving that the FBI fraudulently manufactured Lisa Foster’s recognition of the gun found at Fort Marcy Park, refused to get involved, opting instead for a story accusing Sidney Blumenthal of domestic violence (for which Drudge was then sued).

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Relinked in light of Hillary Clinton’s nomination for Secretary of State.

Even more perplexing is that while Israel is facing the worst crisis facing its existence since its establishment by the United Nations in 1948 it is, nevertheless, celebrating the record number of Jews elected to the US Congress where they now control over 10 percent of a government in a Nation where they comprise only 3 percent of the population and where next week President Bush will meet with Prime Minister Olmert to plan their military attacks upon Iran

UNRWA chief: Gaza on brink of humanitarian catastrophe

Karen AbuZayd, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), said the human toll of this month’s sealing of Gaza’s goods crossings was the gravest since the early days of a Palestinian uprising eight years ago.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Memo to UNRWA Commissioner-General Abuzayd: what you are seeing on the ground in Gaza is precisely the outcome Israel wants to have happen.

Gazan Palestinians are, Commissioner-General, literally being « softened up » by malnutrition for « the kill’; and by that, I mean that they are being starved so they cannot resist a massive Israeli invasion which will leave no Palestinian standing, if Israel thinks they can get away with it.

Make no mistake: this siege, and the outcomes Israel is creating by it, are clear, and completely unambiguous.

And this impending invasion of Gaza isn’t a question of if; it is a question of when.


Gaza power plant shuts down

Gaza‘s sole power plant has shut down because Israel will not allow the importation of replacement parts needed for urgent repairs, an official in the impoverished Palestinian territory’s energy authority said on Tuesday.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

This virtually guarantees that many of the medically fragile in Gazan hospitals will die.


Barak closes crossings and health disaster in Gaza due to chlorine depletion

Israeli war minister Ehud Barak decided late Monday to retain the Gaza crossings closed on Tuesday at the pretext of Palestinian rocket attacks, while the popular committee against the siege warned of an imminent health disaster due to the depletion of chlorine used to disinfect drinking water.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Look for water-borne diseases like cholera to start running rampant through the Gazan population.

Of course, the Israeli government understands precisely that this will be the outcome without chlorine to purify the water.

Knowing this outcome, and doing nothing to prevent it, means that the Israeli government wants this to happen.


Essential health facilities at the Al Shifa medical center stopped functioning

Dr. Hussein Ashour, head of the Al Shifa medical center in Gaza, one of the biggest medical centers in the Gaza Strip, stated that main facilities at the center stopped functioning due to the lack of fundamental equipment and tools.

Ashour added that the Oxygen Department, the Heart Unit, Physical Therapy Unit and the main laboratory completely stopped functioning as they lack fundamental equipment and tools.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

The Siege: Israel’s « final solution » for sick Palestinian Gazans, including the infants and children.


Gaza’s hospitals struggle to save lives amid Israeli siege

Virtually no food, medicine or other vital supplies have been allowed in to the territory that is home to 1.5 million people. The impact of the siege is most directly observed in Gaza’s health sector.

Dr. Zaki Azzaq Zouq, an oncologist, explained, « There is a widespread shortage of essential medicines which we used to give to patients prior to the blockade. Currently, there are no tools for physicians to treat patients who suffer from lung, stomach, colon or brain cancers. »

Webmaster’s Commentary:

So much for the Israeli government’s much-vaunted lie about not wanting to create a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.


Hungry Gazans Resort to Animal Feed as U.N. Blasts Israel

Half of Gaza’s bakeries have closed down and the other half have resorted to animal feed to produce bread as Israel’s complete blockade of the coastal territory enters its 19th day.

Karen AbuZayd, commissioner-general for the U.N.’s Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which supports Palestinian refugees, warned that a humanitarian « catastrophe » loomed if Israel continued to prevent aid from reaching Gaza.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Memo to Ms. AbuZayd: my dear lady, don’t you get it? This is precisely the outcome Israel wants, to literally « soften up » Gazan Palestinians for the coming invasion.

The siege, and lack of necessities, is not an accident, but a very carefully thought out strategy to achieve very specific outcomes.

These include death for medically fragile Gazans who are denied treatment outside of Gaza which could save them,
death by water-born diseases, like cholera, because the water pumping and filtration units won’t work, and severe malnutrition in children.

Ms. Abu Zayd, there is absolutely nothing accidental in what the Israelis are doing here. They know precisely what will happen as the siege continues, and that is what they want to see continue to happen.


Israel Creates Humanitiarian Crisis In Gaza

Israel has cut off fuel to Gaza and has illegally instituted collective punishment on 1.5 million Palestinians. Raw sewage runs in the streets, hospitals have no power and the world stands silent and MSM does not cover the story.


El Khoudary: Civilians will nonviolently march to Israel on Ghandi style

The direful situation of Gaza strip reached the peak in last two days. More people are joining the harmed classes of Palestinians living under siege. Popular Committee against Siege PCAS warned today of decisive popular mass towards Israeli borders.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Let us hope that the Palestinian people remember Gandhi’s edict to his followers: no violence, even if violence is done to you.

Many of Gandhi’s followers were beaten and shot by the British.

And let us also hope that the governmental and military infrastructure of Israel understands that shooting into a crowd of unarmed civilians will be a pr catastrophe.

It will be caught on camera, no matter what Israel has done recently to prevent journalists into Gaza, and the footage of this march, and the Israeli response, will be seen around the world.


Deaths and no dinner

Fadiya Al-Zaher, 55, was supposed to return last Thursday to her house following routine kidney dialysis at Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in the centre of the Gaza Strip. She used to go three times a week. Her son Amin, was with her when the power supply to the hospital was cut off and the backup generators, short of fuel, failed to kick in.

Amin was running up and down the corridor leading to her room, not knowing what to do. His sister, Tahani, suggested that they take their mother to another hospital in Gaza. Amin phoned the hospital and was told that it wasn’t ready to take in more patients. Then a nurse came and told Amin that his mother had gone into a coma. An hour later, she was pronounced dead.


Fadiya’s story illustrates the fate awaiting hundreds of people diagnosed with chronic illnesses in Gaza.

Khalil Al-Koreimah, 59, nearly died in similar circumstances. An asthma patient, Khalil keeps an electrically operated oxygen pump at home that he uses in emergencies. When Khalil needed to use the pump recently, there was no electricity in the entire neighbourhood.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Imagine, for one moment, that this woman was your mom, your auntie, your cousin, a dear friend of the family.

Imagine your knowing that her death was completely preventable at that moment: it was a matter of failed power to the generator which made her dialysis machine work.

Imagine understanding that her death was part of Israel‘s « final solution » for sick and medically fragile Gazan Palestinians.


Libyan aid ship blocked from Gaza

Israeli boats have obstructed the path of a Libyan cargo ship en route to the Gaza Strip.

The ship was said to be carrying about 3,000 tonnes of goods for residents of the Strip in defiance of an Israeli sea and land blockade of the territory.

Monday’s scheduled docking was the first attempt by a foreign government to break the blockade.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Where is the outrage?

If this were Muslims starving Jews slowly to death, the howls and screams of anger would be deafening!

Why is it seemingly okay for Israel to treat Palestine the way the Nazis treated the Warsaw Ghetto?


Assad urges EU to help lift Gaza blockade

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad held talks with two French envoys on Sunday and urged Paris and the European Union, currently headed by France, to work to lift the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Every nation on Earth reacted with horror at the Mumbai attacks, 9-11, South Africa’s Apartheid, Darfur, etc.

Yet for some reason, Israel can treat Palestine worse than the Nazis treated the Warsaw Ghetto and escape criticism.

Upon what meat doth this our Israel feed that it has grown so great?


Israel reopens Gaza border to journalists, aid workers

Israel on Thursday reopened its border crossings with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip to journalists and international aid workers, lifting a month-long ban that has been vocally protested.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

One has to wonder how long the borders will stay open this time.

But this gesture demonstrates that Israel recognizes that what they are doing, regarding humanitarian aid and not allowing reporters in Gaza, is getting noticed with a great deal of alarm internationally.


Breathless in Washington

On the day that Americans turned out in near record numbers to vote, another record was being set halfway around the world. In Afghanistan, a US Air Force strike wiped out about 40 people in a wedding party. This represented at least the sixth wedding party eradicated by American air power in Afghanistan and Iraq since December 2001.

American planes have, in fact, taken out two brides in the past seven months. And don’t try to bury your dead or mark their deaths ceremonially either, because funerals have been hit as well.


FCC Banned Clip: NYPD Blue Shower Scene

Here’s the scene that got ABC fined $1.43 million by the FCC. It’s
from NYPD Blue five years ago. The scene, which the FCC branded
‘indecent,’ has been posted on the Internet and has become a viral
hit.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

So, our national morality is that it is okay to bomb women (and children) in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we cannot let you see them naked!

Is this a screwed-up nation or what?

I would prefer it the other way around.


US drone strike kills 12 in Pakistan

A pre-dawn missile strike by a US drone on a suspected militant hideout in Pakistan’s volatile north Waziristan tribal region has killed at least 12 people.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Aerial strikes guarantee two things, and two things only; the killing of a lot of innocent civilians (and I would almost be willing to bet real money that the strike killed far more people than reported here), and the radicalization of those left standing even further against the government.

One almost has to wonder if the US is hell-bent on creating the level of destabilisation necessary to make conditions ripe for another bloodless coup, a la Musharraf, to bring a yet another military dictator to the fore who will be far more pliable to US demands than Zardari has appeared to be.


Pakistan and U.S. have tacit deal on airstrikes

The United States and Pakistan reached tacit agreement in September on a don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy that allows unmanned Predator aircraft to attack suspected terrorist targets in rugged western Pakistan, according to senior officials in both countries.

Civilian deaths remain a problem, Zardari said. « If the damage is women and children, then the sensitivity of its effect increases, » he said. The U.S. « point of view, » he said, is that the attacks are « good for everybody. Our point of view is that it is not good for our position of winning the hearts and minds of people. »

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Was this part of the deal for the IMF loan to Pakistan, which was spiraling on the brink of complete insolvency before the loan was given?


Truck halt on Pakistan pass may hurt U.S.

Pakistan temporarily suspended oil tankers and trucks with sealed containers from using a key passage into Afghanistan, an official said Sunday, a move that will likely impact supplies heading to U.S. and NATO troops.

The suspension came just days after a band of militants hijacked around a dozen trucks whose load included Humvees and other supplies headed to the foreign forces in Afghanistan.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

One has to wonder if the ambush is the « real reason » for the suspension of truck deliveries, or if Pakistan is sending a message to the US and NATO that they do have a way of making life more difficult for US and NATO troops in retaliation for the strikes inside their territories.


Olmert orders plans drawn up for massive offensive against Gaza

At the weekly Cabinet meeting, Olmert said he had ordered security chiefs to draw up action plans against Hamas’ 17-month-old rule in Gaza.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

So this is really what the siege of Gaza has been all about: literally « softening up » the Gazan people for the kill, to destroy a democratically elected government (through a process generally viewed as having been free and fair election.)

This is the classic Israeli pattern. Kill Palestinians, and when there is a response, claim that the response is the initiating cause and « retaliate. »


Israeli tanks rumble into Gaza

Israeli tanks forged into the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, drawing rocket and mortar fire from Palestinian militants, militant groups said, intensifying violence that has chipped away at a tenuous cease-fire.

Israel and Hamas have been trading fire for two weeks after nearly five months of relative quiet. The June 19 truce is due to expire next month, and both sides might be trying to dictate more favorable terms in anticipation of the agreement’s renewal.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

The media is going to feed you a load about how this is all because of rockets fired into Southern Israel a few days ago, and never mention that the rockets were a RESPONSE to an Israeli attack on November 5th.


Gaza Power Plants totally off

Al Khodary stated in a press conference in Gaza that since the Power Plant is not functioning, hospitals and medical centers would not be able to function. Other basic services, including drinking water wells, will also be out of order.

The power shortage would also disrupt critical water and sanitation services, this endangering the health and life of the residents.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

The term « collective punishment » is becoming increasingly more synonymous with the name of the country « Israel ».

Hospitals and medical centers non-functional? Looks like those in political power in Israel have their very own « final solution » for the medically fragile in those institutions.

Collective punishment is a war crime.

UN to suspend food distribution in Gaza

The United Nations will suspend its food distribution to half of Gaza’s 1.5 million people on Thursday after Israel failed to allow emergency supplies into the Palestinian territory, a spokesman said.

Israel initially said it would allow 30 trucks to deliver supplies to Gaza on Thursday after it sealed off the Gaza Strip on November 5, but later said mortar fire by Gaza militants made it impossible to do so.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

In future dictionaries, when the entry « Israel » is placed, there will be a side-note indicating « see: collective punishment ».


Support urged for Israeli stand on Gaza

ISRAELI foreign minister Tzipi Livni has told her visiting British counterpart David Miliband she expects the international community to support the Jewish state’s tough stand in Gaza.

« Israel cannot just watch its citizens being attacked… The international community cannot turn a blind-eye, » Ms Livni said today during talks with Mr Miliband.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Memo to FM Tzipi Livni: this time, the world will not be turning a blind eye to the devastation Israel is causing in Gaza.

It is apparent that you haven’t taken a look at the Red Cross Report, issued last week, about the effects of malnutrition on children, and how medically fragile Gazans who could be saved by appropriate medical intervention are being denied treatment outside Gaza.

But of course, FM Livni, these are precisely the outcomes the Israeli government wants to see happen in Gaza. The world knows that Olmert has ordered plans for a massive military action against Gaza, and the Gazan people are literally being « softened up for the kill » by the siege.

This slaughter will include children, women, and the medically infirm.

And I can guarantee you; this time, there will be cameras rolling, real footage of the carnage smuggled out, and the world will know precisely what the Israeli government has done in the name of its « security ». The Israeli government will not be able to stop some of it getting out, in all its gory details, no matter how hard it tries.

This potential assault against Gaza guarantees the destruction of the Israel’s image as « the only true democracy in the region », consistently seeking better relations with its neighbors.


Israel Seals Off Gaza, Expresses Outrage Over UN

The UN was able to resume food distribution with the small number of admitted trucks, it won’t be able to maintain them for long. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay condemned the blockade for denying 1.5 million Palestinian civilians of “their most basic human rights” and said it was a “direct contravention of international human rights and humanitarian law.”

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Israel is so adept at blaming the victims.


GAZA: On Top of Humanitarian Disaster, A News Blackout

Israel has imposed a virtual news blackout on the Gaza Strip. For the last ten days no foreign journalists have been able to enter the besieged territory to report on the escalating humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s complete closure of Gaza’s borders for the last two weeks.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

What is Israel so terrified reporters will see in Gaza?

Are things so horrendous in Gaza that they don’t want any information getting out?

The problem for Israel is that the information about what’s going on in Gaza will get out, one way or another.


Israel Bans International Media from Gaza, Arrests Human Rights Activists

Israel has banned foreign journalists from entering Gaza to cover the deteriorating humanitarian situation there as the country ‘s complete closure of the territory enters a third week.


Foreign Reporters’ Group Fights Israeli Prohibition on Entering Gaza

An association representing international news organizations is campaigning for an end to an unusual Israeli policy barring foreign reporters from entering Gaza that has lasted for almost two weeks.


URGENT: Kidnapped by the Israeli Navy

Fifteen Palestinian fishermen along with three internationals have been kidnapped in Palestinian waters by the Israeli Navy. They were fishing seven miles off the coast of Deir Al Balah, clearly in Gaza fishing waters and well within the fishing limit detailed in the Oslo Accords of 1994.

The fishermen and the human right’s observers were transferred from 3 separate boats to the Israeli warships. Other Palestinian fishermen reported that the 3 boats were seen being taken north by the Israeli Navy.


UN envoy urges Gaza blockade end

The UN’s top human rights official has said Israel’s blockade of Gaza deprives Palestinians of the « most basic human rights » and should end immediately.

Palestinians: Aid boat en route from Libya to Gaza

A boat loaded with humanitarian aid has left Libya and will try to reach Gaza despite an Israeli naval blockade, a Palestinian lawmaker in Gaza said Wednesday, raising the possibility of a confrontation between an Arab vessel and Israeli sailors.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

Let’s hope these folks make it through without an incident.

And a short note to the Israeli government: you are risking a monumental PR fiasco if one of these people gets hurt, or if these humanitarian supplies don’t get through.


Study: Bank Leumi not obliged to return cash to Holocaust victims’ heirs

The company asked the bank in March for money in 1,299 accounts belonging to Holocaust victims, totaling some NIS 147 million. The company later asked for NIS 250 million more, from some 1,000 additional accounts in the bank. Most of the sum consists of revalued accounts, after adding accumulated interest and linkage until 1960, when the bank passed them on to the Custodian General.

Webmaster’s Commentary:

So, the bank got to use the money belonging to holocaust victims, loan it out at interest, but when they are finally forced to return that money to the heirs of the victims, the bank claims that since the original holocaust victims could not be paid the accumulated interest, then their heirs should not be allowed to collect the additional monies either!

Les 7 du Québec

John James Charest a déclenché les élections avant que le rapport officiel de la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec soit publié en février 2009. Les politiciens et les médias vous répètent que tout va bien, que le Québec et le Canada n’ont pas tant souffert de la débâcle économique, qu’on peut respirer et se détendre.

La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec est notre bas de laine de 150 milliards de dollars. Elle a investi 37% de notre argent dans des fonds de couverture dit (hedge funds) comme le Blackstone Group et autres. Ces fonds de couverture servent à écumer l’argent des fonds de pension et d’investissement. Ils servent à traire le lait de la population; une sorte d’aspirateur à argent. Nous avons été touchés et on ne veut pas nous laisser savoir si la Caisse a effectivement perdu autour de $30 milliards de notre argent dans ce racket financier. Notre régime de retraite du Canada a perdu 10 milliards, selon les chiffres qu’on nous donne.

Nous sommes lourdement endettés et réellement en récession. C’est ce qu’on va admettre au lendemain des élections. Allez voter en masse le 8 décembre, car Charest compte sur le fait que les gens n’iront pas pour avoir sa majorité. Il faut sortir les truands du gouvernement.

L’autre facette de cette histoire que personne n’ose toucher, mais qui est réellement l’éléphant dans le salon que personne ne veut voir, c’est les $75 milliards donnés par le Fédéral aux banques canadiennes qui ne sont pas nécessairement en trouble. 75 000 000 000 de dollars qu’on va rajouter à la dette d’environ 600 milliards sur laquelle il faudra payer les intérêts aux mêmes banquiers qui ont créé cette crise financière. Cela aura pour effet de changer toute la structure financière des gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux. Il faudra aussi couper dans les services sociaux pour arriver à absorber le choc que ce montant va engendrer.

Tout ça pour quelle raison? On se trouve à financer notre propre dette!
J’ai eu la chance d’avoir le professeur en économie à l’Université d’Ottawa, Michel Chossudovsky sur mon émission. Il est aussi le directeur de Mondialisation.ca et Global Research, deux sites qui reçoivent plus de 40 000 visiteurs par jour en provenance de partout dans le monde. Écoutez ce qu’il avait à dire à propos de cette sordide affaire.

Tout s’est déroulé sans que personne ne soit consulté tant au Parlement qu’au niveau de la population. Pas un mot n’est soufflé dans les élections ni dans les médias. Hallucinant. Comme si de rien n’était. Du terrorisme économique silencieux.

La bonne nouvelle? Nous assistons à une mort et une renaissance. Une bonne partie de la masse se réveille. L’information circule comme jamais auparavant. Plus qu’on est bien informé, moins que l’on peut être manipulé. Lorsque les gens commencent à réaliser ce qui se passe réellement, cela signifie que la partie est finie pour l’élite. Leur dernier ressort est d’utiliser la technique qui consiste à vous faire peur et de partir des guerres. La stratégie de la tension. Pensez-vous réellement que cette histoire à Mumbai (Bombay) est vraiment l’affaire de musulmans relié à l’Al Qaïda? Pourquoi ne pas se poser les trois questions élémentaires pour résoudre un crime: Qui a les moyens, la technique/méthodes et la motivation de perpétrer un tel carnage? Qui profite réellement en terme de pouvoir et financièrement?

Alors voilà, la balle est dans notre camp. Bien sûr qu’il y a une élite hors de contrôle. Mais en tout et partout, ils sont environ 10 000 et nous sommes autour de 7 milliards. C’est la fin d’un empire et son système, mais aussi la naissance de ce que nous voudrons vivre. C’est un moment de vérité. J’ai comme un goût de liberté, de paix et de fraternité. J’ai l’impression que ça va commencer avec une transparence totale du système bancaire et financier ainsi qu’en retournant la responsabilité de la création de la monnaie entre les mains des banques centrales contrôlées exclusivement par le peuple à travers leur serviteur, le gouvernement. Nous devons redistribuer tout l’argent qui nous a été volé et entassé dans les paradis fiscaux et les couloirs dissimulés de la haute finance qui profite de la misère humaine et des guerres. Cette dette de $600 milliards et le $75 de plus qui va s’y rajouter sont de la pure fraude, une trahison, un racket mafieux et nous ne sommes pas obligés de rembourser. Nous aurions pu nous servir de notre banque centrale pour créer cet argent au lieu de l’emprunter des banquiers privés avec intérêts. Nous avons déjà remboursé plus d’argent que ce que nous devons, seulement qu’en intérêts. Ces dettes nationales sont impossibles à rembourser. Annulons-les. Rayons ces dettes de nos livres. Zap, on repart à zéro. L’Argentine l’a fait et d’autres s’apprêtent à suivre cette voie.

Lorsque la population a peur de leur gouvernement, il y a tyrannie, mais lorsque le gouvernement a peur de la population, il y a liberté.

À nous de saisir l’opportunité.

L’uranium appauvri: arme de destruction massive

Répondez au sondage

du-baby20

Chers lectrices et lecteurs, j’apporte à votre attention un des sujet les plus préoccupant qui soit, celui de l’utilisation de l’uranium appauvri. J’ai déjà écrit un article à ce sujet au début de l’année et je vous invite à le lire pour vous mettre au courant de cette situation si vous l’êtes pas déjà.

Il ne sert à rien de vouloir réécrire ce qui a déjà été dit de façon claire et éloquente. Alors le but de cet article est de mettre à jour les informations et de compléter ce qui a déjà été révélé. Votre responsabilité est d’aller consulter ces sources diverses d’information et de vous faire votre propre idée. Jetez un coup d’oeil aux vidéo et photos. Garre aux coeurs sensibles, ce que vous allez voir est horrifiant; mais pourtant, nous devons faire face à la réalité, à ce qui est fait en nos noms à l’étranger. Nous devons comprendre ce que font nos gouvernements avec nos impôts, notre argent.

Évidemment que l’étape suivante serait de forcer le débat sur la scène publique car les médias et les autorités ont comme mot d’ordre de ne pas en parler et de d’éviter toute discussion de ce dossier. Seuls les hauts échelons militaires et gouvernementaux en France, Angleterre, au Canada et États-Unis étaient au courant durant les guerres en Irak en 1991 et celle de 2003 jusqu’à présent, en Bosnie en 1994/95, au Kosovo en 1999 et en Afghanistan en 2001. On n’a pas voulu inquiéter les soldats ni alerter les médias et surtout pas déranger l’opinion publique mondiale.

Barrick Gold, la honte

Barrick Gold, la honte


Le harcèlement honteux de la part de Barrick Gold à l’endroit des trois auteurs de Noir Canada. Pillage, corruption et criminalité en Afrique et Les Éditions Écosociété atteint de nouveaux sommets. Barrick Gold, la plus importante société aurifère du monde, a envoyé le 19 septembre dernier une nouvelle mise en demeure à Alain Deneault, William Sacher, Delphine Abadie et la maison d’édition les enjoignant de cesser, «dans le cadre de la campagne de financement ou de solidarité, de lobbying politique, d’événements promotionnels, d’entrevues médiatiques ou sur des sites Internet», de qualifier de «pousuite-baîllon» la poursuite qu’elle leur intente.

Le bulletin d’information diffusé par Les Éditions Écosociété révèle que la lettre d’avocat avise les auteurs et l’éditeur de Noir Canada qu’ils s’exposent ce faisant à «davantage de dommages punitifs » et que leur « comportement rendra d’éventuelles rétractations, excuses publiques, ou actions réparatrices encore plus difficiles et embarrassantes».

C’est qu’il ne faut pas oublier qu’en mai dernier Barrick Gold a intenté une pousuite en diffamation de $6 millions à l’endroit des Édition Écosociété et des auteurs de Noir Canada. Maintenant, c’est le tour à une autre géante de l’extraction de l’or, Banro Corporation, de se joindre à ce type d’intimidation: ils ont déposé une seconde poursuite pour $5 millions contre les mêmes personnes.

La vraie face du gouvernement et les fausses élections

Vous vous demandez pourquoi les candidats à la présidence ou pour devenir Premier Ministre sont toujours aussi mauvais, à part quelques rares exceptions? Ils faut savoir comment les bonnes personnes pour le peuple sont ridiculisées ou même éliminées dans ce système. L`ordre établi ne laissera pas passer quelqu`un qui nuit à leur intérêt passer si facilement.

Quels intérêts on t-il à protéger? Regardez le troisième vidéo pour vous donner une idée.

Why our presidential candidates are always such crap

What happens to independent candidates

Bill Maher: Assassination by media ridicule


Chip Tatum: Harder methods

Neutralized by media thugs
– or by real ones

It was very odd when Ross Perot dropped out of the presidential race in the 1990s.

He was doing well, having fun and clearly had no shortage of funds to carry on.

Suddenly, mumbling something about threats to his family, he was gone.

But sometimes constant public ridicule is all it takes to neutralize a candidate.

Here’s Bill Maher doing what he does best.

His job is to pose as a progressive and ridicule everything that threatens the people who put and keep him on the air. Note how he skillfully invalidates everything Ron Paul had to say in an attempt to paint him as an oddball.

For the record: I loathe Bill Maher.

Chip Tatum is a much more sympathetic character.

A good soldier, he really believed the things he was doing served the country.

But he eventually learned the hard way.

Jailed for two years on completely bogus charges in order to neutralize him. The last I heard, his tortured body washed up an a beach in Panama in early 2007. Can’t confirm that though.

His wife Nancy Tatum wrote a book called « Joining Club Fed » which may be the single best, real-world portrayal of the so-called criminal justice system in the US and how it’s used to punish whistle blowers.

Truly scary stuff, especially since it is so accurate.

Career tip: If you work for the government, especially the parts that put people away – literally and figuratively – you better be prepared to go along with everything you see, or risk ending up in jail or dead.

(And they might just do you for the heck of it anyway.)

It’s not really fun being a member of the Mafia unless you’re a true, full blown psychopath. Even then, longevity is doubtful.



The Secret Government – 1987

When the US sold missiles to Iran, converted the profits to guns,
and traded the guns for cocaine

Bush Sr and his Handiwork

Iran/Contra.

The US sold missiles to Iran, bought guns with the profits and then sent the guns to Central America to support to support a terror war against peasants in the countryside there.

The guns were paid for with cocaine processed by the so-called Contra which was then shipped to the US and sold wholesale to a criminal organization based in Los Angeles that was largely responsible for spreading crack cocaine throughout the nation in the 1980s.

When Bush Jr. took office in 2000, dozens of Iran-Contra operatives came out of the woodwork to join his administration. Fox News gave one of the chief ring leaders, Oliver North, his own TV show.

(The head of Fox News is Roger Ailes, the former campaign manager for George Bush Sr’s presidential campaign.)

During the Iran-Contra operation Ronadl Reagan was nominally the president of the United States. In reality, vice president George Bush, Sr – director of the CIA less than ten years before – ran the show.

Amazingly, Bush Sr. completely insulated himself from any personal consequences regarding Iran-Contra. Like a good mafia don, he had layers and layers of loyal « button men » willing to shut up and take the fall for him.

His good friend Bill Clinton, who by many accounts protected the gun export and cocaine importation leg of this trade as it was conducted out of Mena, Arkansas, ran against Bush for president in 1992, won, and promptly discontinued all further investigation into the Iran-Contra affair.

If you want to take this a little deeper, the folks who were incinerated at Waco by Clinton and Janet Reno very early in Clinton’s presidency, had a thriving business converting semi-automatic rifles to automatic ones. It’s never been made clear who the customers for these weapons were, but if you look at a map, Waco, Texas is not that far from Mena, Arkansas.

Bill Clinton’s representatives in the ATF office in Little Rock started feverishly developing their case against the Waco « cult » immediately after Clinton‘s election in November of 1992.

Yeah, it’s complicated.

It’s a shame these guys have so much energy and initiative because they do manage to get a lot done.
