Banksters are Coming for Your Retirement Next As we near the End Game, the banksters and their government accomplices are coming for the last of your wealth -- your retirement money. Recent headlines about the IMF “pressing the U.S.“ to reduce its debt is the first sign of things to come. They have already methodically gutted the assets of most public pension funds by knowingly investing those funds in toxic junk.
The federal government is launching an expansive program dubbed "Perfect Citizen" to detect cyber assaults on private companies and government agencies running such critical infrastructure as the electricity grid and nuclear-power plants, according to people familiar with the program.
This is scary stuff, folks. Now we have a police state in America. No one can deny it. You can't argue the point anymore. It is documented fact, and it's happening right now in the Gulf Coast.
If you pick up a professional camera and start snapping photos of a BP refinery, or a BP cleanup vessel, or a beach with an oil boom on it, you risk being followed, detained, questioned and intimidated. And if you don't surrender your own rights and consent to an illegal search of your photos or film footage, you will be hauled into a federal holding facility and held by the Department of Homeland Security until they feel like letting you go.
Your rights as a free citizen have now been obliterated. America is now a fascist corporatocracy that answers to the financial interests of the corporations -- at the expense of the freedoms of the People.
As I previously pointed out, the Gulf oil spill is very similar to 9/11, because - in both cases - the responders helping with rescue and clean up were getting sick ... but were told they don't need any safety gear. In addition, the government is keeping scientists away from "ground zero" of the oil spill and - for that reason - scientists cannot accurately measure the size of the oil spill. BP has also tried to cover up its blunders by lowballing spill estimates, keeping reporters out of areas hardest hit by the oil and threatening to arrest them if they try to take pictures, hiding dead birds and other sealife, and using dispersants to hide the amount of spilled oil (the dispersants are only worsening the damage caused by the spill).
The government is complicit in all of these cover-ups. Indeed, the Obama administration has made it a felony to get near enough to oiled wildlife and beaches to film them.
The IMF has long been a bought, and paid for, muscle arm of the U.S. government and the banking elite.
The play goes like this. Banks loan money to third world countries that have no chance in hell of paying the money back. The IMF comes in with "austerity" programs that include heavy new tax burdens on the working class. The revenue from the new taxes will, of course, go to payoff the banking elite. It's a sick game, but the elite seem to get their jollies by pulling this scam in country after country.
It appears the elite appear to want to up the ante. It appears they are getting set to turn the guns inward and go after the hard earned money of Americans.
A debt-free America? Yes — it’s possible
One idea for raising taxes to pay down the debt is the bill introduced this February by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.). His “Debt Free America Act” (H.R. 4646) would impose a 1 percent “transaction tax” on every financial transaction — whether paid by cash, credit card or any form of financial transfer, the only exception being transactions involving the purchase or sale of stock. Theoretically, everyone would pay one cent on the dollar for every such transaction in America every day — whether $3 million on a $300 million business acquisition, $300 on the purchase of a $30,000 car, or $5 on a $500 ATM withdrawal.
Enforcing the G20 economy ...the cold reality of the G20 meetings is a renewed commitment to building an economy that reflects the brutality of Toronto's G20 jails
After an emotional morning-long debate, city council has voted 36-0 to laud police Chief Bill Blair, the Toronto police services and other forces for their work on the G20 weekend.
Toronto — A 57-year-old amputee says he was “brutalized” and “humiliated” by police patrolling the G20 summit when they confiscated his prosthetic leg, labelled it a “weapon” and ordered him to “hop” into a paddy wagon
Fascism Then. Fascism Now? When people think of fascism, they imagine Rows of goose-stepping storm troopers and puffy-chested dictators. What they don't see is the economic and political process that leads to the nightmare.
US Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Operations, FM 3-05.202, Feb 2007
This leaked military document is critical to understanding the militaristic tactics being perpetrated upon innocent civilians on Canadian soil. The tactics used by US special forces abroad, as laid out in this booklet, are virtually the same tactics that are now progressively being utilized by our police forces. To understand and expose their tactics is to render them useless. Must read and please pass this on! Wikileaks:
"US Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Operations, FM 3-05.202, Feb 2007
FM 3-05.202: Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Operations is the 110 page manual for US Special Forces support, including undeclared support, of foreign governments against internal revolt or insurgency, such as in El Salvador, Colombia, Somalia and the post occupation governments of Iraq and Afghanistan. The manual was made US military doctrine (policy) in February 2007. It supersedes the 1994/2004 version FM 31-20-3: Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and Procedures for Special Forces, which Wikileaks described as follows:
The document, which is official US Special Forces policy, directly advocates training paramilitaries, pervasive surveillance, censorship, press control, restrictions on labor unions & political parties, suspending habeas corpus, warrantless searches, detainment without charge, bribery, employing terrorists, false flag operations, concealing human rights abuses from journalists, and extensive use of "psychological operations" (propaganda) to make these and other "population & resource control" measures palatable."

Vancouver's housing sales plunged 30 percent in June from a year ago. Is this a sign of things to come for the rest of the Canadian real estate market? BNN asks Brian Ripley, CEO, Oakes Ripley & Associates. "Top is in...wages falling"
OTTAWA — House prices continued to climb higher across Canada in the second quarter of 2010, but sales and prices are expected to fall in the coming months, according to a Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Forecast released Wednesday.
House sales in Vancouver and Calgary are plummeting. Is the top in Canada’s ridiculously inflated housing bubble finally in?
Canadian May building permits unexpectedly plungeOTTAWA — The value of building permits fell by a much-larger-than expected 10.8 per cent in May from April, slipping to $6 billion, Statistics Canada reported Tuesday. Analysts polled by Bloomberg had called for a two per cent month-over-month drop.
This morning, Statistics Canada reported a staggering 10.8% drop in Canadian building permits. Permits for residential construction decreased 5.3% while non-residential construction fell 18.3%. So, is the Canadian real estate market finally reverting to the mean? It may be too early to make a comprehensive statement, but the leading indicators are starting to look soft — especially since over the last year, “the average home price [in Vancouver] has risen 14%, to around C$1 million.”As those in the US know, once the bidding lust for houses starts to wane, everyone seems to awaken and ask, “Wait a minute. Is a 2,000 square foot house really worth over $1 million?” These are the inquiries which turn real estate dreams into nightmares.

Washington and Tel Aviv can’t speak honestly to each other The influential commentator Dr Anthony Cordesman of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies said that America's commitment to Israel's security "does not justify or excuse actions by an Israeli government that unnecessarily makes Israel a strategic liability when it should remain an asset".
A blue-and-white Israeli flag hung from Blair House. Across Pennsylvania Avenue, the Stars and Stripes was in its usual place atop the White House. But to capture the real significance of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's visit with President Obama, White House officials might have instead flown the white flag of surrender.
Obama cannot be seen to be caving in to Israel when it comes to resolving the Palestine issue and US efforts to create a Palestinian state and so, for the sake of public opinion, needs to be seen resisting Netanyahu’s insistence that settlement building and building in Jerusalem continues. Of course, Netanyahu’s insistence, in turn, is designed to placate Zionist public opinion.
The fact is that once the final confrontation with Iran has taken place, the whole question about Palestine’s future, settlements in the West Bank and building in East Jerusalem becomes academic. Israel will, so they hope, have defeated Hezbollah and Hamas and occupied south Lebanon and the Gaza, together with a full occupation of the West Bank, while the US will, so they hope, have bombed Iran to the negotiating table and regime change. The US will accept Israeli occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza and south Lebanon as fait accompli.
There will be no Palestinian state. The US will accede to Israel’s creation of a Greater Israel. The West will support Israel and the Arab states, having witnessed the destruction of the Iranian regime, will become utterly compliant.
That, at least, is what the Israelis and the US hope will happen.
Like snake-oil salesmen, the Israelis have been using the so-called peace negotiation ploy to establish facts on the ground (settlements) with full complicity from the US media and the US Congress.
Obama has finally come to feel the heavy boot of the Jewish lobby over his thin black neck; he is hopeless and helpless and in no position to stand to the lobby. For the Israeli lobby, it was only a matter of time before challenging Obama. They waited for his election euphoria to die down and his approval rating to slip and both factors are reality now. Obama is in no position to challenge Netanyahu on peace or settlements; Netanyahu has more clouts in Congress than Obama, even with Obama’s own party.
The best Obama can do when he meets Netanyahu is to seek forgiveness and ask Netanyahu to intercede with the Jewish lobby and Congress not to block his domestic agenda. By examining the political assets of both men, you can easily see the frailty of President Obama in comparison with Netanyahu.
Netanyahu got Hollywood on his side; he got the main stream media executing his PR game, he got Wall Street and AIPAC working for him, and he got the US Congress. Obama got a bunch of brain-washed citizens who can hardly tell where Palestine is on the map.
When Herzl convened the Zionist Conference in Basel in 1897 to call for Homeland for the Jews; Jews were hardly one-twentieth of the population of Palestine. When Britain's Balfour Declaration promising a Jewish state in Palestine was issued in November 1917, there still were only an estimated 55,000 Jews among another 670,000 Muslim and Christian Palestinians. Massive ethnic cleansing of Palestinians took place between 1917 and 1948 by three Zionist terror groups; the Haganah, the Stern Gang and the Irgun. Palestinian villages were ransacked and thousands of Palestinians were murdered in cold blood to terrify Palestinians to flee their homes. 750,000 to 800,000 Palestinians were not permitted by Israel to return to their homes after its creation in 1948. Some of the brutal massacres committed by the Israeli terrorists then were at the Palestinian villages of Deir Yassin and Kafr Qasim. The Israeli historian Ilan Pappe documents that era in details in his book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine”. Palestine’s was where Israel is now; stealing the land by the Zionists is not a license to falsify geography and fabricate History.
