Synthetic Armageddon Part 2: Conspiracy Theorists R Us

March 7, 2008 · 2 Comments

(Seriously: What normal person can resist a good conspiracy theory?)
*
Definition of CONSPIRACY
*
  • a secret agreement between two or more people to perform an unlawful act
  • a plot to carry out some harmful or illegal act (especially a political plot)
  • a group of conspirators banded together to achieve some harmful or illegal purpose
  • It takes just two people to devise a conspiracy, which is why world history is littered with them. Their ease of creation and their frequency of use are the main reasons there are so many conspiracy sites on the internet: There is so much to expose!

    I like to skip around the web, reading both conventional, alternative, and just plain wacky web logs and news sites to pick up the overall vibe of the liberal blogosphere. If you’re in the mood to do the same, trot around the internet a bit yourselves. Visit Empire Burlesque for Chris Floyd’s writing because he’s insanely good at it, then skip across the pond to check out the void for news of the growing police state in the U.K.. Come back for What Really Happened and it’s anti-Zionist cynicism, Rense for conspiracies both conventional and strange, Global Research to track the globalists, and then back across the pond to World Reports for “Wantagate” updates and Christopher Story’s worldwide financial and banking reports.

    There is more! There are probably hundreds of thousands of informative and entertaining sites I’ve not yet encountered. It’s possible, however, that I may have found the weirdest ones of all. You will need to be a psychic or extremely discerning to sort out the real intelligence info at Alcuin and Flutterby, Fourwinds10 and PeterBis, because the really good stuff is woven amongst teh crazy, so it’s up to you to figure out what’s what.

    There are also several published books by conspiracy theorists available online: William Thomas has authored a few conspiracy oriented books and his online intelligence leaks are woven into his essays and stories. The entire unauthorized biography of George H.W. Bush is available online and the Clinton Chronicles are also out there someplace; I hear they’re pretty damning though I’ve not seen them.

    If you’re looking for serious horror the Franklin Cover-up is splattered all over the internet and it’s a disturbing and difficult read. The book about the affected children is now available on Amazon.com. The Dutroux Affair is the European counterpart to the Franklin cover up. More on this global criminal conspiracy came out in the UK and Australian press yesterday. Globalism at it’s absolute worst.

    Successful whistleblower websites and their owners are vulnerable to attack. Empire Burlesque is frequently hacked. What Really Happened occasionally experiences interference and denial of service attacks, which tells me they are royally pissing off the Anti-Defamation League. Across the pond World Reports is attacked frequently by the Anglo-Israeli-American intelligence communities. In fact it’s editor announced his fourteenth death threat yesterday. Tom Heneghan’s MySpace page is dedicated to exposing the misdeeds of the Bush/Clinton Crime Family, and it’s very likely accurate because the website won’t even come up on Google searches. The CIA and/or NSA bury and/or block the links to Tom’s site, change the wording on his posts, and snip the photos they don’t want you to see. How does he know it’s the spooks doing it? Their IP addresses and/or domains are just as traceable as yours.

    Speaking of which: Google has gone from “Don’t Be Evil” to being just another intelligence vehicle for Mossad, CIA and MI5/MI6. Ditto Wikipedia, and even YouTube. If Rupert Murdoch or the CIA/Mossad don’t want people to see your website or video they’ll just make it inaccessible.

    Regardless of the efforts of our global elites and their lackeys, conspiracy theorists have it easy! One is able to spot a government and/or corporatist conspiracy within seconds just by paying attention: Is it a public official? Are his lips moving? What’s going on behind the scenes? Usually is something that will make THEM rich and liberated, and YOU poor and enslaved by paying THEM tribute (taxes, extortion, fraud). In fact there may only BE this one conspiracy: This Original Scam on which all subsequent scams are just riffs.

    American Patriot Andrew Ward wrote just last week:

    I think it’s pretty clear that Conspiracy is a dirty word for a reason: The Establishment engages in conspiratorial acts on a daily basis. It would be foolish for They not to publish loads of worthless historical facts, promote stereotypes along with skin-deep diversity, teach dismal sciences, and report misinformation in order to divide, distract, and mislead the serfs . . . for “adults” there’s that old, Banker-financed Marxist child’s fable of the Proletariat vs. Bourgeoisie which has crowded out the more accurate, generalized depiction of our situation: the ruling class vs. We, the People . . . Maybe this is just the chemtrails talking, but “Conspiracy Theorists” are not crazy for wanting to expose the men behind the curtain. The real crazies are the statists blinded by the curtain of red, white, and blue.

    Synthetic Armageddon, Part 1: The Big Lie

    February 25, 2008 · 13 Comments

    “. . . the magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds they more easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big.

    Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, Chapter 10

    “The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”

    Joseph Goebbels, Die Zeit ohne Beispiel

    “People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”

    OSS on Hitler’s psychological profile

    “The key-word here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts.”

    George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty Four

    U.S. citizens are a stubborn, patriotic and very attached to their freedoms, with an attitude that annoys elitists, feeder entities, control freaks and dictators to no end. How can they be Emperors over whole realms of peasants who consider themselves sovereign, and worse, act the part? How is it possible for elites to enjoy lives of relative leisure if the “peasants” won’t pay them tribute? It’s such a dilemma, trying to be Emperor in a country of kings.

    So the Robber Barons of a few generations ago, the grandparents of today’s corporate elites, gathered in secret and decided that either:

    1) a powerful and dangerous enemy, or

    2) the threat of a dreadful catastrophe

    would be necessary for the public to give up its sovereignty and accept the “efficiencies” of their authoritative rule. Not patient enough to wait for an Act of God they decided to play God by manufacturing a series of crises, hoping one would stick. Their approach to global domination relied heavily upon Georg Hegel’s theories on dialectic and tragedy.

    Hegel (1770-1831) was an imperialist and a con artist, and his dialectic has allowed globalists to lead free men and women back into the superstitious, racist and unreasonable age of imperial rule. The Robber Barons and their progeny, all with vast resources at their fingertips, used his dialectic to create false enemies and threats to frighten the people into following their lead.

    Modern propaganda is based mainly on Hegelian dialectic: The invention of artificial extremes (”thesis” and “antithesis”) which only superficially conflict with each other, and the synthesis of a solution from the conflict. For instance, it’s a myth that Capitalism and Communism are opposites, as both rest on the same platform: A centralization of wealth which destroys private property, mostly through legislation and the control of the money supply. Central banking is common to both Communism and Capitalism, so pervasive it barely occurs to citizens that there is a better way to create wealth than issuing public debt.

    Artificial extremes (evangelical Christianity vs. radical Islam, for another example) are chosen and propagandized in such a way that marginalizes both and turns each side against the other. The goal of the controllers is to “naturally” synthesize a reconciliation in such a way that benefits themselves exclusively. It is essentially a fraud, a strategy of ideological divide-and-conquer. The dialectic ruse scatters the citizens’ energies and coherence, making them willing to grab on to any solution that will return matters to some kind of equilibrium. Unless, of course, they recognize the ruse as such and refuse to be sucked into the lies.

    Here’s how the Big Lie is used to bring about change:

    1. The elites identify a new enemy or impending crisis that will alter or end life as we know it. Failing that, they make one up. Or even create one.

    2. They spend a lot of money, time and attention to hype the problem in the media, and frame proposed restrictive and controlling Policy X around the crisis. Policy X is typically one that We The People would never allow during a time of calm but one that serves the greed of the propagandists, who are generally money-grubbing, egomaniacal, imperialistic control freaks.

    3. Our elites allow the public hysteria to reach a crescendo until the citizen victims shout “THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!”

    4. The corporate and government bandits come to the “rescue” and insist that oppressive and/or expensive Policy X will solve the problem.

    5. We the People say “Well okay, just so long as it makes us feel safe and bring things back to normal.”

    Thus another nail is pounded into the coffin. The Italian Mafia had it’s own way of expressing the Hegelian dialectic with it’s protection rackets. The method is still used today by our modern Robber Barons, members of the Bilderberg Group in particular, who plan wars revolutions, global initiatives, and even gas prices well in advance and stage them all to look as though they just “happened.” For instance, nearly every war the U.S. ever fought was planned in advance and marketed to a trusting and gullible public well before the first shot was even fired. Todays controlled collapse of the U.S. economy was conceived and developed in a Bilderberg Group meeting:

    “During 2006 meeting, Bilderbergers have confirmed that their short range price estimate for oil for the 2007-08 continues to hover around US$105-150/barrel. No wonder Jose Barroso, President of the European Commission, announced several months ago during the unveiling of the new European energy policy that the time has come for a “post-industrial age.” To bring the world into the post industrial age, you first need to destroy the world´s economic base and create another Great Depression. When people are poor, they don´t spend money, they don´t travel, and they don´t consume.”

    David Estulin Tracks Bilderberg 2007 and it’s Attendees,

    Counterpunch Magazine, May 21, 2007

    So, how does it feel knowing your so-called “betters” have decided to relieve you of your life savings and kick your country back into the Dark Ages? I don’t know ’bout y’all but I’m pretty pissed off, because neo-feudalism is NOT my cup of tea. Can we just say NO this time? Just, NO, no no no. Never again. We’re not buying it this time; so stop it. We the People will need to shout it out together, because it will take an awful lot more than the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker stomping her feet and screaming profanities at the New World Order for the corporate elites to give up on their lunatic plan to become Masters of the Universe.

    The next few years will see factions within the Global Elite quietly warring with each other over the methods, means and steps toward global dictatorship. Meanwhile they will continue to prep We the People for The End Game, which for a century has been planned to mirror the Book of Revelations in the Biblical New Testament. Hegelian Tragedies include the manufacture of much more than flesh-and-blood enemies with whom we are expected to do battle. Sometimes these tragedies include “Acts of God.” You probably believe only God is able to cause or create an Act of God, but are you sure about this? Boy do I have news for you. Are you sitting down?

    (To be continued . . .)

    I love the sound of muted frenzy in the morning

    February 17, 2008 · 3 Comments

    TBR News February 15, 2008

    The Voice of the White House Washington, D.C., February 14, 2008:

    “I have just been reading a fascinating collection of transcribed telephone conversations held in 1996-1997 between a very senior retired CIA official and an reporter. The official, one Robert T. Crowley, was deputy head of the CIA’s clandestine operations and the reporter is unidentified except by his initials. These conversations are some of the most fascinating, and readable, things to come along in years. Neither one of the participants were particularly elevating or moral in their conversations, which ranged from extensive CIA drug dealings, assassinations of such personages as a Pope and JFK, media control, the killing of talkative CIA top people and so on. No one knows just where these came from but they are circulating all over the Beltway in Xerox form. I’ve been in the game for years and I can attest that many of the very secret businesses I have personal knowledge of are laid right out in front of the world. Fakes? No, not fakes. There is muted frenzy down at Langley because of all the really filthy linen being exposed. Far too much material to send to you people because you can’t possibly get it all up. Many of us are laughing in private and we all hope it makes it to the marketplace.”

    Nothing escapes the CIA grasp by accident. The Bush/Clinton Cabal is being “taken out,” so to speak, by a higher, better funded, authoritarian supranationalist entity that may OR MAY NOT have America’s best interests at heart. It’s motives are it’s own. Contrary to appearances the Bush/Clinton Crime Family and the CIA, parts of the implementation and enforcement arms of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Bilderberg Group, are NOT the Big Dogs we - and they - think they are. They are human resources like any others and it looks as though they are being terminated. The important question is: Who or what are going to take their places?

    D-Day: Special Deliverance

    February 16, 2008 · 1 Comment

    Stalking it’s prey

    For better or for worse something significant happened last night.

    Yesterday I had been expecting a 4:30pm Friday White House press-release (”All the News We’d Prefer That You Not Hear”) announcing a major political development. I went to bed disappointed, but as things apparently turned out a development of some sort tiptoed into the corridors of power like thieves in the night. Prognosis is either very good (in the D-Day sense), OR very very very very bad (in the Night of the Long Knives sense). Especially since, given the circumstances and potential consequences failure is not an option for either party.

    (Map from Teleography)

    Here are the reasons I’ve come to this conclusion:

    1. Worldwide internet restored. Immediately after the undersea cables in the Middle East were cut last week my spam file stayed completely empty. OMG no ads for Viagra or porn! What was I going to to with my time? Apparently all of our spam comes from overseas. Anyway, during the night the cables must have either been fixed (partly or wholly) or “reactivated” (if they were only electronically “cut”) because once again I’m inundated with spam. Iran and its Middle Eastern neighbors are back in the communications business! Take note that Israel was completely untouched the entire time. You may draw a negative inference from this. After all, que bono? Who benefits?

    2. Back to “business as usual” at U.S. intercontinental airports. Most of you slept through the G-7 economic embargo against the U.S., George W. Bush specifically. No matter, as it appears as though it was only partially implemented and lasted only a few days anyway. For several days this week there were next to no U.S. airlines flying its planes overseas in any direction but home. The foreign owned airlines were flying OUT of the U.S. If a U.S. airline went overseas it was usually operated by a foreign airline like Virgin Atlantic. Thursday and Friday U.S. transatlantic commercial airlines were either “grounded” or appropriated for cross-country (U.S.) flights. Meanwhile oil tankers bobbed around the Gulf pending further instructions.

    Then, perhaps 10pm or so Friday night, these transatlantic airplanes bolted like racehorses away from the gates at the JFK, LaGuardia and (presumably) Newark airports toward Europe. I watched the whole thing on a free flight tracker website I recently discovered.

    My sources haven’t posted any news, but if things continue to develop over the weekend the (real) U.S. military is most likely involved. They are here, operating on U.S. soil, which is is legal now the the Bush Administration wiped out Posse Comitatus. Now he can legally bring the U.S. military home to fire on U.S. citizens (that’s you and me, folks) in the likely event of a citizen revolt against martial law. Nice, huh? I don’t think it ever occurred to them that it could backfire, big time.

    ************************************************

    Postscript: The news that progress was being made was just intel disinfo to dupe the other G-8 member countries into lifting the embargo.  Rats. Why don’t they just arrest everyone and let God sort it all out?  I mean, it’s the way the “Unitary Executive” operates, so why should they be treated any better? Argh.

    A Royal Mess: Treason’s Last Stand

    February 12, 2008 · 2 Comments

    You know it: The world’s last remaining superpower is run by a petulant child prone to temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. The rest of the G-8 leaders around the world have been dealing with him as diplomatically as possible for almost eight years and nothing has worked. George W. Bush, President of the United States and leader of the Free World, truly believes that he’s untouchable, probably because his father “Pappy” Bush was untouchable. Pappy never stopped leading the CIA, even when he was President. Presuming he’s still alive all roads still lead to George Herbert Walker Sherff Bush, one of the very last pit stops on the Power Path to the Queen, the Pope, and the Jesuit General.

    More about that later. Or not.

    Recap: The Bush Administration owes the White Haired Man money. Heaps of it: Trillions. Gazillions. Bazillions. An inconceivable amount of stolen wealth from the collapse of the (now former) Soviet Union, plus interest. The Supreme Court case ruled in the White Haired Man’s favor 18 months ago, and he has been waiting for his share of the money ever since. After all, as the Ambassador who made it all happen he had earned it.

    Perhaps hundreds of billions in court settlements, are owed by the U.S. government to country representatives and individual citizens around the world. But Shrub just won’t cut the checks. No: His minions just move the money around, trying to make it inaccessible, the same way Bill Clinton and his minions did after they stole it. Spoiled brats are fast and loose with other peoples’ money but stingy when it comes to money they think belongs to them.

    The rest of the Free World has had it with Baby Bush. At the G-8 Summit in Tokyo last weekend heads of state, the usual suspects, made themselves perfectly clear: Pay back the money plus interest, or else.

    When the embargo sanctions took effect yesterday afternoon the reality of the situation hit the President of the United States FOR THE FIRST TIME, despite the fact that he’d been promising to pay the money for almost two years. The G-8 announced it was done with granting extensions for him, whereupon the man erupted into what’s being described by insiders as a “Hitlerian rage:”

    “I am the President of the United States, I tell people what to do, no-one tells me what to do, I set policy and I take orders from nobody!”

    Add a generous heap of expletives to the above. The international community responded that the G-8 will implement it’s decisions regardless of what he says or breaks. The alternative was a fresh steaming heap of treason charges for Bush and his cabinet. He was free to make his choices.

    Four tankers of oil were put on standby for their return to the Gulf. OPEC says “No soup for you!” Aircraft carrier groups were put on standby for their return home.

    Parents, remember when your infant child didn’t want to be in bed and cried and shrieked for hours? You tried everything: Burping, feeding, new diaper, singing, rocking, walking, even driving, and nothing worked. Finally you and/or your significant other just gave up, shut the nursery door and let the poor thing cry him/herself to sleep.

    Yeah, it was kind of like that. Only with broken furniture.

    And They’re OFF! The Race to the Bottom

    February 8, 2008 · 9 Comments

    In case you’ve not noticed, only Divine Intervention will save us from the coming Global Recession. The sub prime mortgage defaults are the beginning of the end of the public financial meltdown, though privately the drama has been going on for a long time. The Bush Administration didn’t want Joe Public to find out how bad things were until Hillary Clinton took the “throne.” Bush, who desperately wanted a positive legacy for himself, really really really hates the internet right now. There are very few secrets anymore.

    These economic disasters brought about by fractional reserve banking have been taking place since German banker Mayer Amschel Rothschild realized he could get rich by loaning the same money over and over again to different people, just by printing more bank notes. The Central Banking business model is akin to those old Doritos commercials: “Don’t worry; we’ll make more!” Never mind that there wasn’t enough “real” money for his clients had they all decided to cash out their savings accounts at the same time.

    Mayer Rothschild is now known as a founding father of international finance. The Rothschilds collected interest from their borrowers and prospered while their customers had no idea they were involved in a big Ponzi scheme with an ever-increasing money supply. They barely noticed how fast their paper money declined in value until it was too late. When they all tried to close their accounts at the same time there wasn’t enough money to return to them since most of the “money” only existed in theory, “on paper” if you’ll pardon the pun. This is why “Bank Runs” are very bad for banks, and when consumer confidence disappears it is very very very bad for the economy.

    Countries don’t always survive crises of confidence in their currencies. Some countries recover eventually, the way the U.S. did during the late 1930’s, while other vulnerable populations dissipate or are conquered by stronger armies and/or economies. See, “recession” is the term used by optimists. Banks coldly repossess client assets while wealthy elites enjoy the “fire sales” that take place everywhere an industry or economy fails. Central Bank shareholders buy companies, real estate, stocks and bonds at fractions of their “real” worth and enjoy hefty profits when/if the markets bounce back. As an extra kick in the shorts, ordinary folks go bankrupt, food and employment become scarce, the local economies fall apart, and life takes on a Grapes of Wrath quality.

    I wonder what will happen to us?

    I’m starting to get a little bit addicted to The Big Picture, a blog where banking and finance insiders find their gossip important information. A recent post about the sub prime fraud debacle made me whoop with laughter:

    Let me make sure I understand this:

    1. Moodys (and S&P and Fitch’s) labeled a bunch of horrific junk — RMBS, CDOs, CDS, and other stuff — high quality AAA.

    2. The banks and brokers all shoveled this crap to their clients around the world, many of whom then promptly blew up.

    3. Once the music stopped, these banks and brokers got caught holding loads of this AAA rated shit paper, leading to $130 billion — and counting — in write downs.

    4. The banks then saw their credit ratings get downgraded by the same companies that rated the original crappy paper AAA.

    AND NOW THE SOLUTION PROPOSED BY THOSE SELF SAME RATING AGENCIES IS TO PUT A WARNING LABEL ON THEIR RATINGS?

    Are you shitting me? Words fail me . . .

    I’m thinking water boarding the entire staff is the way to go with these criminal idiots, and instead, they think a mattress tag is a solution?

    Well that’s just fine. I’ll write the warning for them:

    WARNING: THESE BONDS HAVE BEEN RATED AAA BY A MAJOR RATING FIRM. THESE RATING FIRMS HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE CLUELESS, MONEY-LOSING INCOMPETENTS IN EXCESS OF A TRILLION DOLLARS IN LOSSES. THEY WERE PAID HANDSOMELY BY THE BOND UNDERWRITER, AND ARE HOPELESSLY COMPROMISED. PURCHASERS OF THESE BONDS ARE ADVISED TO IMMEDIATELY KILL THEMSELVES, THUS SPARING THEIR LOVED ONES EMBARRASSMENT IN THE FUTURE. ALSO, THESE BONDS MAY LOSE VALUE. I JUST WET MYSELF MERELY THINKING ABOUT THIS PAPER. WHILE PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RETURNS, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT PAST PERFORMANCE ALSO SUCKED. DON’T BLAME US IF YOU LOSE ANY MONEY, AS WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE F$#@ WE ARE DOING ANYWAY. REALLY, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

    (We might as well laugh at our fates since we’re all in the same boat!)

    More than ever I am glad I stayed out of the private financial sector, never mind that I could have done very well. This Taurus loves her routines and her security and would suffer daily panic attacks if I were a financial broker of any kind today. Citibank, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley are the ENRONs of the financial and banking communities. Decent people who work at commercial banks are being laid off in droves, and I foresee anger and bitterness that will give ENRON employees flashbacks when the ugly truth finally tumbles out.

    A Royal Mess: Wall Street Poo Meets Media Fan

    January 17, 2008 · 1 Comment

    All the ingredients are assembled. Who’s gonna toss first?

    I’ve had my “oh shit” moments with this Presidential Administration, the War on Terror, the banking industry, the stock market and the economy. Usually these crises and my associated panics would come and go unnoticed by most of the people around me. Meanwhile the former Fourth Estate, otherwise known as the mainstream media (MSM), dutifully distracted us with Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears. Since most people still don’t understand that the major networks stopped reporting real news years ago it’s still easy to manipulate people’s reality. If you were to ask them they would probably say that every day is a slow news day.

    But not THIS time. I don’t think the MSM can explain away or hide this present reality much longer because the next big piece of financial news, even if it’s a carefully crafted half-truth or outright lie, is going to freak out the whole country. I guarantee it this time.

    First, the not-too-tightly-wrapped-in-the-first-place GOP is unraveling. One false flag after another has been foiled, so Darth Cheney still has no reason to bomb Iran. So Isreal might bomb them in the (valid) expectation we’d join the fray. The Department of Defense is not pleased. The troops are stretched to the limit, fatigued and depressed. They’re experiencing high numbers of suicides, desertions, and murders. There has been more than one mutiny situation. Suffice it to say that all is not well on the Western Front.

    You may want to sit down for this one: Special Forces are actually shooting people. Civilians. Here. On U.S. soil. If it makes you feel any better they deserved it? There is major political sabotage inside the D.C. beltway, more than usual I mean, as it’s turned deadly. There is major dissent between powerful factions, each gunning (so to speak) for a different outcome, plus they have an unlimited budget to repeatedly extort, bribe, threaten, betray, and impose vengeance on each other. This goes all the way to the TOP, and I don’t just mean Shrub/Cheney. This crisis expands all over the world, even the Vatican.

    The worst thing that just happened is that a former REPUBLICAN Congresscritter was arrested for his part in funneling money to Al-Qaeda:

    Former Congressman Mark Deli Siljander Charged in Terror Conspiracy

    Atlanta, GA 1/16/2008 09:36 PM GMT (FINDITT)

    Former Michigan Congressman Mark Deli Siljander has been charged in a terror conspiracy case. The Republican was a part of a terrorist fundraising ring that sent funds to an Al-Qaida and Taliban support who has threatened the United States.

    Authorities believe Siljander was paid $50,000 for lying about lobbying for an Islamic charity that was secretly supporting terrorists. He was charged with money laundering conspiracy and obstruction of justice among others.

    Siljander served two terms in the House of Representatives and was appointed a United States delegate to the United Nations in 1987.

    I’m pretty certain Mr. Siljander was marching to his orders as he was a CIA asset once upon a time (or perhaps even now). I believe he did favors for Mr. Reagan during his tenure in the White House. Whatever he was up to, he may be the first of many NeoCon Fall Guys. Don’t presume they’ll all be from the Republican Party.

    I’m not surprised at these developments, as I’m 100% certain that Al-Qaeda and the “War on Terror” were manufactured by rogue elements in the CIA, MI5 and Mossad:

    The myth of “Al Qaida” is built on an expansive foundation of many half-truths and hidden facts. It is a CIA creation. It was shaped by the agency to serve as a substitute “enemy” for America, replacing the Soviets whom the Islamist forces had driven from Afghanistan. Unknown American officials, at an indeterminate point in time, made the decision to fabricate the tale of a mythical worldwide network of Islamic terrorists from the exploits of the Afghan Mujahedeen. The CIA already had their own network of Islamic militant “freedom fighters,” all that was needed were a few scattered terrorist attacks against US targets and a credible heroic figurehead, to serve as the “great leader. . . “

    . . . The database of Islamic fighters that was collected by the program was labeled n Arabic, ‘Q eidat ilmu’ti’aat’, which is the exact translation of the English word database. But the Arabs commonly used the short word ‘Al Qaida” which is the Arabic word for ‘base.’

    -Global Research, January 13, 2008

    Meanwhile, back on Wall Street matters pertaining to the “subprime crisis” (better understood as “embezzlement and fraud”) are going downhill very quickly:

    STRONG ADVICE: Pull your money from from Bank of America and sell your stock! Like, NOW!
    2400 pink slips at B.A. today. Bank being audited (again)
    Bankers arrested, Banking Commission in charge for now

    Jurassic Media: Faking the News

    January 14, 2008 · No Comments

    will these dinosaurs cease their stampede on reason or will they just go extinct?

    You’ve heard it before:

    Some People Make Things Happen,

    Some Watch Things Happen,

    while Others Sit around and

    Wonder What Happened!

    I just watched the most amazing video: Big News: Propaganda and the CFR. It really opened my eyes and it will probably open yours too. I even think it should be shown to every journalism and history student at every college and university in America.

    If you live in the United States and think you know history and/or current events I have some bad news for you: You probably don’t. Even a smartypants like you. Me too! Even those of us who know for sure the mainstream media is lying to us have not fully grasped what really happened way back when, or even what’s happening today.

    I’m almost embarrassed that I’ve blathered so much about so many of the historic events covered in this movie: Unfortunately at the time I had the understanding of a gnat. The producers of this movie explain these events in their proper and overall contexts and let me tell you! Context makes all the difference. It rather goes without saying that in the U.S. we are being starved of context and led by the nose to support political decisions not in our best interests.

    Examples of just a few events covered in this movie:

    Gun control and the Million Mom March

    The big bad Global Ice Age Crisis (sound familiar?)

    Presidents Carter and Clinton

    Bosnia/Serbia conflict

    The holocaust/genocide by Stalin against the Ukranians

    Rodney “Can’t we just get along?” King

    The anti - World Trade Organization and globalization movements

    Osama Bin Laden and the War on Terror

    . . . and more.

    You can watch the whole movie at Google Videos (link below) or different parts at YouTube. Here is Part 1 of Behind the Big News at YouTube:

    Behind The Big News: Propaganda and the CFR
    Most Americans know the mainstream media manipulates stories, manufactures illusions, and exploits fears. But the reason is more than just liberal bias or sloppy reporting. Behind the Big News exposes a revolutionary agenda originating outside the media that defines today’s headlines. This powerful and fast-paced video examines some of the biggest news stories in recent decades to discover how this subversive agenda is promoted. Behind the Big News also reveals an effective strategy to overcome this ongoing assault on American freedom.

    A Royal Mess: Send in the Clowns

    January 12, 2008 · 3 Comments

    We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
    -Aesop

    “We’ll will do what we goddamn well please”
    -George Bush White House Aide

    Weak character coupled with honored place, meager knowledge with large plans, limited powers with heavy responsibility, will seldom escape disaster.
    -Confucius

    I suppose we should feel sorry for our corporate elites. ‘Round-the-clock entertainment and propaganda are a challenge to create, especially on a mass scale when one is busy trying to take over the world. The more territory and resources the West’s billionaire oligarchs grab the more it needs to control its residents.

    (Above: “Political Clowns,” by Heri Dono, 2006)

    Now, what in the hell does this have to do with O.J. Simpson? Easy: The mainstream media, controlled by the Oligarchs since the early 1900’s, has (again) brought O.J. Simpson out of cold storage and back on the World Stage to front as “news” and keep us distracted. Add the most recent manifestation of Missing White Girl Syndrome to the O.J. Simpson situation and we have a double distraction: Look! The media circus is in town!

    Hey MSM Bastards: Genetics do NOT determine the importance of a missing person!

    What this all means: Something really, really, really important went down today, but the corporate class doesn’t want us to know what it was. Since the media is owned by just a handful of billionaires it’s easily for them to shut down the news and replace it with the irrelevant. Whenever these people decide to impose a media blackout you know some politician or powerful business person is trying to cover up something embarrassing or criminal.

    I do have my suspicions, though:

    Are the “systems problems” at the major banks worse than what is being reported? All signs point to absolutely, and they’re worse than a normal person can even imagine. Hidden behind the sub prime mortgage “crisis” is overwhelming evidence of massive fraud, and the paper trail leads straight to the White House. Short answer: We’ve been robbed.

    “If they knew what we have done, they would hang us on the nearest lampposts”.

    - George Herbert Walker Bush

    Could there be a civil war raging inside the D.C. beltway? Everyone in the Justice Department, Congress, the Executive Branch, DoD, CIA, NSA knows the answer is yes. It likely involves various factions within their communities and it appears to have turned deadly. Bush Sr., aka “The Godfather,” thinks he’s untouchable. Shrub is drowning his terror in alcohol, coke and belligerence. Darth Cheney is still itching to blow something up, preferably something with a lot of scaree Mooslems in it. One false flag attack after another has been foiled by wiser souls but he keeps on trying. Powerful international interests are heavily involved and they’ve had it with this Administration: Now the whole evil cabal is up for assassination. Alan Greenspan has an enormous Secret Service contingent guarding him wherever he goes. Shrub had an unprecedented 3,000+ military personnel guarding his sorry ass during his trip to Israel this week, which had nothing at all to do with peace in the Middle East but with an enormous vat full of money stolen from the U.S. taxpayer. Money and Power. Money and Power. Lather, rinse and repeat.

    Has the economic shitstorm finally hit the fan? Did you see the stock market today? Whatever news they slipped to the moneyed classes it was enough to tank the markets. This is why the White House always gives its bad news on Fridays: Since it’s the weekend few people are listening, and the interested parties have two days with which to adjust their investment portfolios and their expectations.

    Are our ruling elites in a panic over the ease at which We the People detected the vote fraud in New Hampshire? All signs point to yes. Evidence is mounting that the use of Diebold electronic voting machines were used with the assistance of satellites to steal the New Hampshire Primary on behalf of Hillary Clinton (and possibly John McCain, story still developing). Sources close to U.S. and French Intelligence report that a computer program was installed into certain Diebold machines in specific selected New Hampshire counties. Add that to Hillary’s emotional response to a question planted by one of Hillary’s volunteers and the result was an “upset.”

    Keith Olbermann provides an overview of the vote fraud situation in New Hampshire. Visit the Ron Paul War Room or watch “Hacking Democracy” on YouTube if you need more. If you have any doubts that our government representatives are evil enough to steal elections from us, here’s the Congressional testimony from a computer specialist who was paid by former Congressman Feeny (R-FL) to develop a program to rig electronic polls using Diebold machines:

    I suppose if I were an Administration official - and a thief and an asshole - I might also demand a media blackout on the goings on here. Everything is tied together: Voter fraud, the events September 11 2001, the bogus “War on Terror,” the bank heists, our weak dollar, Blackwater, global warming, the sub prime mortgage crisis, our country’s loss of respect worldwide, our shitty economy and the loss of our standard of living. Meaning: If one were able to sleuth out the particulars of JUST ONE of these conspiracies all the others would unravel in turn. That’s why Hillary Clinton “must” be the next president. Sort of like the way Mukasey “had to be” the new Attorney General: This multigenerational and familial crime family MUST have loyalists in the corridors of power to ensure a media blackout that will last until the end of days.

    “Curious George” G.H.W. Bush came out of the womb evil.

    A Royal Mess, Part ? From Russia, With Love

    January 2, 2008 · 11 Comments

    Him: Well, we were right: The blood is spilling. We talked about this, didn’t we? It was just a matter of time.

    Me: OH FUCK. NO. No, no, no, no. Who?

    Him: Paulson, and one of Cheney’s aides, we don’t know who they were really aiming for. And the horse head story from Crawford is true. He came home and found it in his bed. It was HIS HORSE, worth $350,000! He loved it - the horse I mean - and . . . well, we hear it was the Russians. The Russians did it. He’s a mess.

    Me: Oh GOD NO. I thought it was just a rumor. FUCK. Or a figure of speech. I was even ready to joke about it on my blog. Thank GOD that I didn’t. FUCK. Oh . . . FUCK. Are they . . . are they dead?

    Him: The aide is dead, the horse is dead . . . of course the horse is dead. Paulson is critical, they don’t think he’s going to make it. I hear his name isn’t even Paulson. Another Mossad agent.

    Me: What the fuck. Him too? Are they all doubles?

    Him: Double agents, double crossing, probably. Our man-child in the White House was double crossed by his own father, even. I almost feel sorry for him; if he survives this mess he’s a broken man. Some Freudian analyst is going to have a field day with him. Oh, Godfather is in jail, finally, unless he’s out on bail, don’t know why they waited so long. Listen: They’re back now; I must go. I need you to keep this in strict confidence, all right?

    Me: How long?

    Him: Not long, a day or two. It’s going to be on the news; I don’t know how they’re going to keep it quiet this time. Christopher is dead on with his analysis, by the way, so you can trust him. Check out his site. Bye now, gotta go!

    I hung up the phone. I was ready to vomit. I had known it was just a matter of time before it came to blows. “Doin’ the Subprime Slide” was to be my next post about the White Haired Man, a “slide” being something like an official cover story hiding the real one, the real story being the largest bank heist in world history. I was going to lead with a picture of a stuffed horses head. Now that it all turns out to be true it’s not funny.

    I hobbled to the bar and poured myself a little cognac. It was midnight. I thought I was going to go to bed early tonight and get another good night’s sleep but now there was just no way. It was too late to take a sleeping pill, so it was going to be a long night. FUCK. The poor horse, was that really necessary? I suppose the Russian mafia watched all the Godfather movies too, but . . . I started to shake. I rubbed my forehead, hard, trying to erase what was in my brain. It didn’t work.

    The shooting of our Secretary of the Treasury didn’t upset me so much. In a way he had it coming, though I would have preferred the he’d been tried and convicted first. Due process and all that. I suppose in the realm of espionage there is no such thing as due process, especially in the middle of war. And this is a war, a very high level one between and within various intel factions. It’s quite possible that the only good guys are our own soldiers, trying to do the right thing in a mess of confusion. Fortunately, since our Special Forces practice chaos and mayhem on a daily basis they’re probably doing all right.

    It wasn’t over, and it wouldn’t be over until the financial matters were settled and everyone due their monies finally received them. The hit list was long, over 100 people. 127 to be exact, if one is to believe the intel. Helicopter Ben, Devil Cherthoff and Darth Cheney are probably in their “undisclosed locations” right now, awaiting outcomes. I’d put money on “Rubix Cube” (Ronald Rubin of Citibank) and certain individuals at Morgan Stanley being on the list too. All that is needed to stop the bloodshed is ONE FUCKING SIGNATURE that isn’t withdrawn at the 11th hour the way it has been three or four times by now. My gut tells me he’ll sign this time. His horse is dead, his father has betrayed him and he’s been running from the death threats for weeks. Enough already.

    It was 3:00 before I retired to bed with my headache.

    This is what horse heaven looks like, right?

    Don’t Bank on It

    December 13, 2007 · 1 Comment

    They were letting us down a little bit at a time so as to avoid the bank runs: Eight billion here, eleven billion there. A week or so would pass and they’d “adjust” it to a few more billions. It’s the subprime disaster, they explained, but they had a “plan.”

    Meanwhile Wall Street knew better: This was bigger than what mortgage default rates could do to them. No, this was HUGE. Something else was going on but they couldn’t figure out what it was and no one was talking. Only a few knew that the chickens had finally come home to roost: The “Enronization” of the U.S. economy was taking its toll, and the Basel II accords, along with some major bills coming due, had left certain U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve executives with their pants down.

    The white-haired man was not amused, and neither were his royal friends.

    SEVERAL MINUTES AGO, I WAS INFORMED BY RELIABLE SOURCES THAT THE 2am [12 December 2007] US Treasury Direct - Citibank - CitiGroup Directeurs agreed upon Financial Settlement was estopped by your White House personnel. Why is it so difficult to release said monetary funds . . .

    And so it goes, on, and on, and on.

    When I read the news of the United Bank of Switzerland (UBS) taking a big hit by writing off ten billion dollars of bad debt and deciding to sell a part of itself I was shocked. Et tu, UBS? I thought the Duke’s bank was the only in the world who for sure had it all together. I guess not.

    My Duke keeps all his hundreds of millions at UBS AG. He counts the entire Board of Directors among his personal friends: He used to share his jet with them when they needed it. Suffice it to say he has a very big interest in what goes on there.

    I remember the guided tour of the UBS financial transaction process Duke gave me a few years ago. The security protocol was unbelievable: His bank card had a hologram and his fingerprints on it, and it came with its own little computer! He had to type in his codes, and then after a few minutes UBS would send him a different code, which he would then use to access his money. It was all very complicated, but Duke said UBS was the safest bank in the world.

    Then he asked if I wanted his help opening an account there, which made me laugh. With what? As if a single mom eking out a living in New Jersey would have anything to show besides a house, a car, and an untouchable 401K. Very cute: As brilliant as this man was he really had no clue about what it was like to be, well, normal. I suppose given my family background and career he just presumed certain things, but I don’t take money from my parents unless it’s an absolute emergency, I don’t get child support, and this high rent town takes a lot of my money: We have the highest property taxes and insurance rates in the country.

    How to Improve Your Understanding of the Evening News

    December 3, 2007 · 1 Comment

    (Illustrator: David Dees)

    You may or may not have noticed that the mainstream media (including mainstream blogs) runs it’s bad news through an encryption program before reporting on something controversial, such as the state of the economy. I’ve decoded some of the oft-used words and terms for your convenience:

    Assurances = Lies

    Attributed = Blamed

    Bank Run = Bank panic. Everyone tries to cash out and close their accounts, but the bank doesn’t have enough money. Customers last in line are basically shit-out-of-luck. Everyone who pulled out their money in time stuffs it in mattresses, only to use it as fuel for the hobo campfires later.

    Business practices = Ponzi schemes

    Cover losses = Taxpayer funded bailout

    Extended business overseas = Needed to leave the country STAT, will be on the lam until further notice.

    Fired out of the blue = Arrested and detained

    Housing Slump = 50% drop in value

    Large Bank or Financial Services company = Money laundering system

    Liquidity Problems
    = “We loaned out money we didn’t have. The loans defaulted, and now our liabilities outstrip our company assets. Readers Digest Condensed Version: We are bankrupt. It’s a good thing I’m a member of the moneyed elite, cause I’ve never had to suffer any consequences for my behavior and I’m sure as hell not going to start now. So: Federal Reserve print me some new money and bail me out!”

    Moral Hazard = Opportunity to commit fraud or theft, which they took

    $Multimillions in Severance Pay = “By accepting this money you promise not to talk.”

    Newspaper = Fiction

    On the Lam = An often pointless effort to avoid capture, especially if one’s bank accounts have been frozen.

    Paraguay = One of the few places in the world where the government won’t extradite. The place where George Bush Sr. will retire with his Nazi SS buddies, unless he goes to jail first. Pappy made arrangements in advance.

    Plain Clothed officers with crew cuts and big guns walk into your office = Special Forces (Green Beret, Marines) = Shit! Call your family to say goodbye before they take your IPod!

    Provost Marshal = Army officer authorized to arrest the President

    Rapid downward trend = Market Crash

    Recession = Depression

    Pending review = Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is going to look up your ass. Bend over.

    “Stocks are up!” = Hyperinflation

    Subprime Mortgage Debacle = Massive securities fraud. Bank heist. The raiding and looting of the U.S. Treasury.

    Suddenly Resign = Arrested and detained, or about to be indicted

    Suddenly Retire = Arrested and detained, or about to be indicted

    Surprise Departure = Arrested and detained, or about to be indicted

    Trend analysis reveals a significant drop in market values = Stock market crash

    “The Economy is Strong” = “I’m going to offload my dollars before you do”

    “The Fed Has a Strong Dollar Policy” = NOTHING. It means nothing. Somebody made it up.

    TV News = Lies to keep you asleep at the wheel

    Undisclosed Location = On the lam or burying the bodies

    Vacation, Texas Style = Oil pig billionaires leave the country without their families. Or their luggage. Also see: On the lam.

    Day Off

    November 30, 2007 · 2 Comments

    (psst! guys, quit dialing that number; it’s a parody!)

    This is not my idea of a hedonistic pleasure, cleaning the whole house in preparation for company. However, Jen has a special friend she’s bringing with her weekend and I don’t want him to think I’m one of those obsessive-compulsive cat ladies. Right now everything in this house is “out” for assessment and reorganization and my GOD I hoard way too much shit for a lady who bought a house with no basement, no garage, and no attic . . . because she didn’t want to turn into one of those ladies who hoard too much shit!

    Maybe I’ll put on something sexy, turn on the funk and dance around to make it a little more interesting . . . on one foot? OK maybe not. But I’m doing the rest, dammit, because this day is not allowed to be boring.

    A Royal Mess: Fantastic Tale

    November 29, 2007 · 14 Comments

    What you are about to read here is a tale that may or may not be true. I was sober when I wrote it, I swear.

    This story is a development from an incident that may - or may not - have occurred behind closed doors while the rest of the world was distracted by “news” of loose chickens and infidel Teddy bears. I call it “fantastic” because the word has the same root as “fantasy.” Therefore you may treat this story as inside information (the story behind the story), the script for the next James Bond - ish movie, or just the delusional imaginings of a woman who really needs to get out of the house. Take your pick.

    Here goes.

    ********************

    It had been a strange Summer and the financial district didn’t know what to make of it. Should they buy? Sell? Hedge with gold before it’s up to $2000? It wasn’t until mid-October that Wall Street got hip: Something bigger than the sub prime mortgage debacle was making the Dow and the Nasdaq very crotchety. It was something related to single-family properties and bad loans, just exponentially worse. While people were losing their homes the Federal Government - or the corporate bankers indistinguishable from the government - were doing something very similar to the U.S. economy and by logical extension the whole world. Everyone in the real estate and finance community knew there hadn’t yet been enough single-family home foreclosures to make things this bad so soon. The Federal Government, or some multi-billionaire (or a group of them) must have played the market and lost big time. Unfortunately no one was talking. The evening news lied to the sheep (par for the course for psyops) that there would be a “soft recovery” and the U.S. had a “strong economy” that would help people weather the subprime mortgage storm, and not to worry. “The economy has grown 3% so far this year!”

    Of course they didn’t say it was mostly due to inflation, because sheep can’t do math.

    The whole island was in the dark about how three weeks ago a white-haired man arrived at Citibank to cash out a multi-trillion dollar trust fund in his sole custody. When the news reached the top floor the Chairman and CEO Charles Prince blanched and panicked. They thought the old man was dead! The CEO called the white haired man and told him to wait while his people worked on the account. Then he called the Board. “We have a problem,” he said.

    The white haired man waited for two weeks until the bank finally admitted that they didn’t have the money. It had either been spent, stolen or lost. But trillions? How could one possibly lose track of trillions of dollars? That’s about the time things started going rapidly downhill for the Chairman and Board of Directors, then later for the rest of the corporate banking elite. Four teams of investigators fired up the PROMIS software and followed the digital trails all over the world, from Manhattan to . . . Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse . . . Houston, London and Washington D.C. . . . then on to Venezuela, Switzerland, India, the Emirates and the United Kingdom . . . the White House, Department of Treasury, State Department, House and Senate. Private accounts in South America and Dubai, but whose? George Bush, both junior and senior. Dick Cheney and both Clintons. Alan Greenspan. Treasury secretary Henry Paulson. CNN, Fox, ABC and more: It appeared to the investigators that every mainstream media conglomerate in the world was raking in hush money from the CIA or Mossad. Shit. It was time to call in the big guns. One of the investigators picked up the phone and dialed the SEC: “This is bad. No, I mean really really bad, we need you over here. Like, NOW.”

    The white haired man, an Ambassador with an English attorney (London) and high and mighty connections, began to use said connections to move his case forward. He called upon the Queen of England, who gave him the electronic equivalent of a blank check so he could arrange for the arrests of those implicated in what was fast turning into a global banking crisis. Her Majesty the Queen had been betrayed by the Bush family not long ago, and her own banks were starting to fail for having played along with their games. Come hell or high water she was going to have her pound of flesh.

    Army Brigadier General Rodney Johnson is the Provost Marshal for the U.S. and one of the few people in the world who could arrest a sitting President and get away with it. The General arrived on the scene with a good number of soldiers in civilian dress and immediately went to work. Within two days the General, overwhelmed by the gravity and complexity of the bank transactions, called for reinforcements to create the biggest banking and financial dragnet that Wall Street - perhaps the whole world - has ever seen. Within 24 hours the General had 100 U.S. Marines, more than 20 black vans, and 9 huge passenger jets at his disposal, with Special Forces on the way.

    The situation was extraordinarily ironic: Over the summer Bush had issued several Executive Orders along with the two Patriot Acts in order to eviscerate the U.S. Constitution, take away Civil Rights, impose upon the U.S. military to fire on its own people on demand, and permit security forces to arrest and detain U.S. citizens without telling them why or giving them access to attorneys. The Patriot Acts, which have never been used to detain or prosecute real terrorists, were instead being used to detain and prosecute corporate elites! (that was SO not part of the plan) The Marines used their brand-new authority to stuff 2500 U.S. citizens on nine planes and fly them to a foreign country overseas to be tried under its laws, without even letting the detainees call home (standard procedure: the Marines don’t mess around). It also appeared as though the Oval Office and both Clintons might be hoist by their own petard someday, but for the time being they were allowed to run loose.

    By the end of the week 4000 people had “disappeared.”

    A Royal Mess, Part 3: Medicine Man

    November 13, 2007 · No Comments

    The Duke called this morning with good news: He just accepted a CEO position with a biotech company out West. Croatian medical researchers who work for this company may have found an affordable (herb based! cheap!) way to treat AIDS, and have asked Duke to be their CEO to help them through the formal trials.

    Duke is SO excited, as he has been funding independent research on the virus in the hopes of coming up with a vaccine. The idea of finding a CURE for AIDS is even more exciting to him, so he accepted this position in favor of the job that would have taken him back to the Congo to implement the development plan he wrote for President Kabila (the one who was assassinated) many years ago. Now Kabila’s son is in charge, and Duke likes the guy,  but the task would be so enormous that Duke would be well into his 80’s before he finished. So he picked the company with a 5 - 10 year plan instead. He said didn’t want to spend the rest of his life in an African jungle anyway. I guess I don’t blame him.

    It’s been too long since I’ve written about the Duke. Since he’s moving the headquarters of this new biotech company to Geneva (Switzerland) there may not be much left to write beyond our back story. Then again, he’ll be in town in a few weeks, so who knows?

    ;-)

    (to be continued . . .)
