Since everyone seems to have forgotten that we're currently in 3 different wars still, I wanted to post this video that I came across yesterday.
So much for the 'no fly zone' only. Honestly, the only thing that surprised me was that it took this long to get there.

Gaddafi gold-for-oil, dollar-doom plans behind Libya 'mission'?
Just a little more evidence going back to a post I made a few days ago... To me, it's a rather convincing argument, especially if you consider that we've literally invaded every single country that has threatened to get off the petrodollar system.
And, speaking of the petrodollar system, here's an interesting little video that says what I've been saying for YEARS... the collapse of the dollar will occur the second that enough countries decide to abandon the petrodollar system and the US dollar as the reserve currency... and many countries cant to get off of it, not only because they're getting fed up with the American dominance of this system, but because the dollar is plummeting in value. China and Russia have already gotten away from this system in their bi-lateral trade... Of course, unlike Iraq and Libya, we can't just go in there and kick their ass. I suspect that more counties will enter in to trade agreements with them, since now smaller nations will have the protection from two major superpowers.
When I have this conversation with people, a question that I commonly get is "well, why aren't countries getting out of the dollar faster if they think it's going to collapse?" The answer is very simple. International markets work very much like Wall Street. If one country were to all the sudden just 'bail out' of the dollar (besides taking a temporary (but recoverable) financial punch in the gut) it would cause MASS panic that would seep through the entire system. To expand upon my analogy, prior to the original great depression, JP morgan, the Rockerfellers, the Rothschilds, and several other prominant bankers slowly and quietly started selling off their holdings. If they'd done this all at once, the panic would have triggered the decline of the system at an inopportune time. By 'sneaking out' of the market, they were able to maintain control of it, maximize their profits and minimize their losses. Then, when the system collapsed, they were able to reap MASSIVE benefits (if you're not familiar with this story, then I suggest you do some research into the original great depression). To put it another way, if you're trapped on a sky skraper and you notice a prominent threat, like a fire or a bomb, you don't want to scream about it at the top of your lungs, because the panic that creates will make it harder for you to ensure your own safety. What an self-preserving individual would do is wait until he safely got to the bottom of the sky scraper before alerting others.
This is very much what's going on with the US economy. In fact, just the other day, China announced that it will Reduce its U.S. Debt Holdings by $249 Billion. Small as it might be in the grand scheme of things, this is a sharp reversal of trends, and effectively, the first step towards the elevator. Many people are still suspicious that Japan might need to cash in on its treasuries to help pay for the recovery too... This remains to be seen, but it could mean some pretty rough times if that does happen.

When is it okay to party in the streets?
When it's endorsed by the government, of course.
I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of this.
First of all, we have an instance where riot police used LRAD, tear gas, and mace on college students celebrating at an annual party:
And then, we have an undoubtedly much larger and, presumably, more wild (as evidenced by people hanging off of light poles) party outside of washington DC, celebrating the death of Osama.
So where was the riot police there? Call me crazy, but that crowd looked far more wild (and FAR stupider) than the college crowd they attacked.
Oh right... Government endorsed idiocy prevails.

In the News
Just wanted to do a quick update of what I thought to be some interesting stories in the news over the past few days while the world's been obsessing over Osama.
BUT FIRST... More developments in the Osama Myth! I -really- don't like to keep obsessing over this, but I found these to be worth while.
First of all, on the front page of my own local newspaper, I come across this story which reveals that, contrary to the official Whitehouse story, Osama was unarmed during the raid. Here's a quote from this article.
BUT FIRST... More developments in the Osama Myth! I -really- don't like to keep obsessing over this, but I found these to be worth while.
First of all, on the front page of my own local newspaper, I come across this story which reveals that, contrary to the official Whitehouse story, Osama was unarmed during the raid. Here's a quote from this article.
“Bin Laden was then shot and killed,” Carney said. “He was not armed.”
That was one of many official details that have changed in the two days since bin Laden was killed. The White House misidentified which of bin Laden’s sons was killed — it was Hamza, not Khalid. Officials incorrectly said bin Laden’s wife died in gunfire while serving as his human shield. That was actually bin Laden’s aide’s wife, and she was just caught in cross fire, the White House said Tuesday.
Carney attributed those discrepancies to the fog of war, saying the information was coming in bit by bit and was still being reviewed.
“We provided a great deal of information with great haste in order to inform you, and through you the American public, about the operation and how it transpired and the events that took place there in Pakistan,” Carney told reporters Tuesday. “And obviously some of the information came in piece by piece and is being reviewed and updated and elaborated on.”
Now, frankly I don't care if he was armed or not, and that's really not the point in my opinion.. The point is that it's yet -another- inconsistency in the official story. Now, call me crazy, but if it really happened you'd think they could have taken a few minutes to get some details like that sorted out before they released it to the press, and that information wouldn't have to come in 'bit by bit'. To me, this just reeks of a fabrication, and attempting to cover up inconstancy in lies with more lies.
And it seems unlikely that they're going to release those photos of Osama's corpse. So, it's becoming more and more likely that the only evidence we're going to have that this happened is the almighty word of our government. But surely they would never lie to us!
And, lastly, I ran across this earlier today, and found it rather interesting: Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations Steve R. Pieczenik admitted that Bin Laden has been dead since 2001. Infact, he is even prepared to tell a federal grand jury the name of a top general who told him directly 9/11 was a false flag attack.
I'm highly suspicious that this would ever be allowed to happen, and even if it does, it's even less likely that it would accomplish anything, but good for him anyway. I sincerely hope he does take it to the federal grand jury.
Not wanting to fall victim to the great Osama distraction, however, I'm here to remind you that there's still a world out there, and real things are still happening. Like the depression.
And how's this for depressing: 1 in 7 Americans receive food stamps. But don't worry, though.... JP Morgan is making a killing off of the 15% of the country who can't afford to feed themselves.
And while we're at it, here's some depressing statistics about the US economy... and some sickening statistics on one of the main reasons why we got here: Outsourcing. According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Commerce Department shows that US multinational corporations cut their work forces in the U.S. by 2.9 million during the 2000s, while increasing employment overseas by 2.4 million. According to Forbes, the US has lost over 50,000 jobs every MONTH since China joined the World Trade Organization. In 2000, there were 72 million middle-class jobs: manufacturing, construction, FIRE, transportation, etc; today, there are 65 million jobs. This means that we have lost 10% of our middle class supporting jobs that have, for the most part, been replaced these with part-time jobs, temporary jobs, or no jobs at all. (source). According to a recent report from the National Employment Law Project, higher wage industries accounted for 40 percent of the job losses over the past 12 months but only 14 percent of the job growth. Lower wage industries accounted for just 23 percent of the job losses over the past 12 months and a whopping 49 percent of the job growth.
Still think the US economy is going to recover? All these facts aside... The dollar collapse aside... Hyperinflation, the national debt, Medicare/Medicade, food shortages, unsustainable wars, and everything else aside, there's one GARGANTUAN fallacy in thinking that the US economy will ever recover.
What is that, you might ask? Simple... It's the foundation upon which the future of this country will be built.. And something that I am entirely too familiar with: Student Loan Debt. This is another big issue for me, and something that I'll elaborate more on in a future post, but let me leave you with this point of consideration.
Student loan debt in the US is second only to mortgage debt... it surpasses all credit card debt, personal loan debt, and all other debt in the nation. In fact, student loan debt is approaching $1 trillion dollars at a rate of over $3K a second. You can watch it escalate here. Over 2/3 of college graduates have student loan debt, and the average amount of this debt is about $25-30K, with some unfortunate souls well into the 100K-200K mark. Interest rates for student loans can be in the upper 20%, and students today are graduating into an economy where you're literally lucky to get a job at McDonald's, as we saw above. And I've got far, far more gruesome statistics to share with you later. So, I ask you to think about this for a second... what kind of future does the US have if all of this is the foundation upon which we are building?
My opinion? Not much. Not much at all.

The right to assemble? More like the order to remain silent
I think this is all pretty self explanatory. This first video sets the stage pretty nicely.
Arrested for taking pictures? It happens more often than you think. In fact, just a few weeks ago I saw a few videos of people getting arrested for taking pictures of the Federal Reserve... In one video, the 'terrorists' were filming the building from 3 blocks away... while they were at a public park! I'll have to see if I can find the video, because it's pretty damn fascinating.
And, just as a side note, I came across this snippet of an interview with Julian Assange. The interview as a whole was pretty interesting, but I found his comments on Facebook/Twitter and the likes to be particularly relevant.

Some different takes on Osama / Gaddafi
I don't want to dwell on this Osama thing too much longer (god knows all the attention it's getting in the press and all the BS propaganda it's getting is driving me crazy enough as is) but I did want to post just a couple other interviews of various different people giving their input on the matter. But first, I wanted to post this video in regards to the bombing that killed Gaddafi's son and 3 grandchildren (under 12 years old, btw). I find it rather humorous that this is the second time we've blatantly tried to kill Gaddafi, which is a clear and outright war-crime given the alleged nature of our involvement there... but moreso, I find it downright laughable that the country was so swept up with all this Osama shit that most people I've talked to don't even realize that it even happened. It's getting to the point where I feel downright sorry for Gaddafi, his family, and the people of Libya.
And, as mentioned, here's some vids on the the whole Osama thing:
There's lots of video interviews on RT (Russia Today) and RT America with various different experts, and I've been running across all sorts of interesting controversies surrounding this matter. It still boggles my mind how fanatically brain dead people are, and how easy it is to corral the American public.

On Osama
I really don't want to dwell on this any more than I absolutely have to, but obviously, this is all that EVERYONE is talking about right now. Obviously, I have a -lot- of problems with this alleged 'victory' in 'killing' Osama.
Let's examine the evidence so far:
1) The only photo released so far is a photo shopped fake.. and a poor one at that! Even the MSNBC photoblog states that the photo is a fake. Several European news networks that aired the photos pulled it after it was revealed to be a fake just a short time later. Still not convinced: here's another article that uses the VERY SAME IMAGE... notice the date of publication, and, for shits and giggles, the title of the article. But the whitehouse assures us that they have real images... they just don't want to release them, since they're "too graphic" (And, as an asside, I wonder how easy it's going to be able to identify (fake) the true identity of a body when the photo's are purported to be 'too gruesome, with brains and blood visible'
2) Osama bin Laden, almost immediately after being 'killed', was buried at sea, out of respect for / 'according to Islamic practice and tradition.' Well, isn't that fucking nice of us. So wait a second... the only evidence of this is point #1???? WTF?
3) Osama bin Laden has already been pronounced dead. Multiple times, infact... not only by foreign intelligence, the CIA, FBI, Bush Administration intelligence (hah! the oxymoron there!), the Afghan Taliban, the President of Pakistani, and the head of the Pakistani CIA, who in a recent interview with Alex Jones, called the whole things a 'fantastic hoax'.
Let us remember that Osama was confirmed to have documented kidney problems, and a consequent need for dialysis. Knowing his condition as a certainty (see below), top medical officials considered it to be 'highly unlikely' that he would have lived past 2002.
(Taken from Infowars.com)
Given Bin Laden’s documented kidney problems and consequent need for dialysis, government officials, heads of state and counterterrorism experts have repeatedly opined that Osama Bin Laden has in fact been dead for some time. These assertions are based on Bin Laden’s failing health in late 2001 and visible signs of his deteriorating condition, as well as actual reports of his death from the same time frame.
Of course, none of these people have had any hard proof (AKA, a BODY) to substantiate their claims... So, the CIA, FBI, foreign governments, and numerous other sources are 'conspiracy theorists' because they have no proof, but Obama claims it, allows the 'body' to be dumped into the Ocean, and that's supposed to be the end of it, once and for all? Yeah....
So, if you don't believe that it really happened (as I think there's very good cause not to), then that lends to the obvious question... Why now? Let me offer my own personal theories:
1) As Americans become increasingly disenchanted with governmental performance, President Obama prefaced his Sunday night remarks with these words: “Let’s bring back the sense of unity that existed on 9/11.” The next morning, CNN’s Carol Costello chirped her lines: “Americans are united again.” How about that! This, in and of itself, speaks volumes if you think about how good our 'unity' durring 9/11 was for our nation, but aside from that, it seems to me to be one HELL of a distraction. Obviously, in these times, with the state of the world and the US economy literally hanging on by a thread, with many incomprehensibly significant decisions that congress has to make this month alone, and with global forces posturing for the onset of WWIII, a sense of unity could be a pretty valuable thing.
2) Speaking of the economy in shambles and the onset of war, one thing that strikes me as particularly fascinating about this timing is that this occurred shortly after Obama threatened to make cuts (all be they minor) to military funding. And, numerous polls have suggested that people are extremely dissatisfied with our wars... In one article I recently read (can't find the link at the moment), they said that 74% of Americans wanted out of the wars and to consider cuts to military spending. I have a feeling that this could lead to arguments of: "Oh, but wait, we can't cut them now, the wars on terror are actually accomplishing something"
3) The big one... Even the white house is admitting that this will likely result in retaliation attacks. This is the very first thing I thought of the second I heard the news... It sets the stage rather nicely for one more massive act of terrorism, and with that... well, I trust you read my police state blogs. Infact, speaking of the police state, they're ALREADY starting to feel the ramifications of this in New York... and it hasn't even been a full 24 hours! 3 days to get water to Katrina Victims, but god damn, they can sure launch a military brigade on us in the blink of an eye... 'for our protection', of course.
The final point is this.... If another false flag event is accomplished, the urgency to impose a police state and completely destroy the Bill of Rights and any remaining vestige of liberty will reach a fever pitch with throngs of blood-thirsty citizens calling hysterically for totalitarian rule in America.
The clock is running short on time, and our opponents are positioning themselves for checkmate. This is, quite possibly, one of the worst things that could have happened at this time. Just when people were starting to wake up, to see the truth, and to demand a different course of action, there's serious potential for it all to go up in smoke now. The blind shall remain blind. I gotta hand it to them... even I didn't expect this one. Touche'.
