Its hard to keep up with all the devious moves going on in the great game. Here's a roundup, some links and some analysis for anyone interested.
9 Final Ways The Bankster Occupied U.S. Government Is Waging War Against America --- http://disquietreservations.blogspot.com/2011/11/9-fina....html Special Note - A quote...."There is a dictatorship of the mind and spirit in America. The official ideology of the U.S. totalitarian state is counter-terrorism and national security. All domestic and foreign crimes are justified under the umbrella of security and defense. The false flag September 11 attacks served as the catalyst that brought this totalitarian ideology into being on a world stage." ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====
Empires Not Built For ‘Small People’, Built By ‘Small People’ --- http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/11/24/empires-are-not...ople/ Special Note - A quote...."All the meaningless words that the politicians toss at people to elicit their emotional support of war; ‘freedom’, ‘democracy’, ‘justice’, and ‘honour’ come at a very high price on the road to, and sustainment of, an empire." ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====
The boys who cry “Holocaust” --- http://www.salon.com/2011/11/22/the_boys_who_cry_holoca...eton/ Special Note - A quote...."We’ve been through this before. As one of the most disastrous wars in our history is coming to an inglorious end, the same neoconservative hawks who dreamed it up are agitating for a new war that would make Iraq look like the invasion of Grenada — and using the ultimate trump card in American politics to silence debate over it. -- When hawks begin beating the drums for war in the Middle East, Israel is usually a big reason why. That was true in the run-up to the war in Iraq, and it is doubly true with the current hysteria over Iran. Despite disingenuous claims to the contrary, the only reason the U.S. is even talking about war with Iran is Israel. As the invaluable M.J. Rosenberg, who knows the working of the Israel lobby as only a former card-carrying member can, notes, “It is impossible to find a single politician or journalist advocating war with Iran who is not a neocon or an AIPAC cutout. (They’re often both.)”" ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ===

Senate To Vote On Legislation That Allows U.S. Military to Detain Americans Without Charge or Trial --- http://theintelhub.com/2011/11/25/alert-senate-to-vote-...rial/ Police State & Action Alert - A quote...."While Americans enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend and join the annual running of the bulls celebration at malls and retail outlets, something sinister is taking place in Congress – and it should scare the hell out of you. -- If the President and Senate have their way, your front lawn will soon become a battlefield, and you’ll be subjected to military, not criminal, law." ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====
Senator Lieberman Urges Google to Increase Censorship of Anti-West Blogs --- http://www.activistpost.com/2011/11/senator-lieberman-u....html Police State & Traitor Alert - A quote...."U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman sent a letter (PDF) to Google this week urging them to censor anti-West, violent jihadist content on their Blogger platform. -- The letter, formally from the Committee on Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs which Lieberman chairs, cited the blog of recent "lone wolf" terrorist patsy Jose Pimentel." ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====
Lieberman works DIRECTLY for Israel, is a long standing Jewish member of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium and is a traitor to this nation, it's people and the constitution of the United States. He has promoted every single piece of repressive legislation ever proposed in Congress during the last decade, (most of which were instigated by obvious false-flag events, such as the Anthrax attacks, --- http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/anthrax... --- which led to the Passage of the "Patriot Act", the Detroit Lap Bomber, --- http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/falsefl... --- which led to the TSA's, and the dual-Israeli-citizen / Ripiscan- share-holder, Michael Chartoff's "cancer gates"). He has also backed every single war that ever promoted Israel's PNAC Protocols. --- http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/911-pla...
The "Pimentel the Patsy" hoax has ALREADY been thoroughly discredited. The FBI wouldn't even touch the case and said so MONTHS before Pimentel was even arrested, the NYPD "informant" supplied everything Pimentel needed to carry out the hoax including encouragement, funding, materials and ideology. Bloomberg, another stalwart Jewish member of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium, was instrumental in pushing the publicity of the entire affair across the mass-media. He may even have been involved in the affair much earlier than is publicly known. To say that this is another set-up would be to state the obvious. - mpg ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====

Feds Admit Water Pump Failure Was Not Cyber Attack --- http://www.infowars.com/feds-admit-water-pump-failure-w...tack/ Fed Propaganda Exposed - A quote...."Despite a Department of Homeland Security advisor hastily telling the Washington Post that foreign hackers were responsible for the failure of a pump at an Illinois water plant earlier this month in a bid to drum up support for more government control over the Internet, federal authorities have been forced to admit that there is no evidence to support the claim." - also posted at DProgram --- http://dprogram.net/2011/11/24/feds-admit-water-pump-fa... --- bold by website editor ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====
It is Time for State Governments to Recall US Senators and Members of Congress Back to be Accountable --- http://lonestarwatchdog.blogspot.com/2011/11/it-is-time....html A quote...."When we have loose cannons like Sen John McCain and Carl Levin drafting laws for the US Military to snatch up US citizens in the name of the war on terror with no due process or the right of habeas corpus. There is no public danger, it is about them holding onto power.These people need to be recalled back to their states and a special election convened to vote in a new person who will be mindful of their oath." ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====
Now is the Time to Realize More Than Ever, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is is Not Just for Our Liberty, But Our Very Survival --- http://lonestarwatchdog.blogspot.com/2011/11/now-is-tim....html A quote...."The American people are not looking for a fight with the government at all. But for years we have seen the erosion of our liberties ever since September 11, 2001. The government now has taken their focus off the Muslims in the middle east now turning the barrel on the American people.

Also examined are the actions of Oliver North, who willfully ignored the Constitution in masterminding covert weapons deals with Middle-Eastern governments to additionally fund the Nicaraguan Contras.

The “Decent Left” and the Libya Intervention --- http://www.counterpunch.org/2011/11/25/the-%E2%80%9Cdec...tion/ A quote...."A Reply to Michael Bérubé & [Juan Cole] -- Even as NATO celebrates its victory over the Gaddafi dictatorship, there is growing unease about the operation. The Libyan intervention was supposed to be a model of legality, but ended up exceeding the terms set forth in Security Council Resolution 1973, which authorized a no fly zone but not regime change. US involvement violated the War Powers Resolution. The intervention was presented as a truly international operation, but ended up being directed by Britain and France, the two main powers from the heyday of colonialism, thus adding to the unsavory appearance of the whole enterprise. The intervention was supposed to prevent a massacre in Benghazi, but ended up enabling one in Sirte, where there have been numerous executions of pro-Gaddafi loyalists. It was supposed to dissuade other tyrants from oppressing their own people, but in reality had no such effect.[1] Political repression in Syria actually increase d after the intervention. The intervention has generated significant dangers to global security: The character of Western policy toward the Libyan despot – by first persuading Gaddafi to give up his nuclear weapons development program and then overthrowing him – has discouraged other countries from abandoning their own nuclear weapons programs." ========= ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====
