| Promoting increasingly non sensical, non-pertinent mainstream articles (Daily Mirror even!), more Open Society (Rothschilds) clone websites, continuously promoting "the soon recombining Birdflu explosion" instead of the imminent Bio warfare/ genocide on millions from some shady NWO (See Lorraine Day!), promoting more off-the-wall stuff like ET from Mars theory, etc., more than I've time to tell. Beware of Rense's Idiosyncracies. I'm more than ever convinced that he's either blackmailed, an op, or both!

Is the United States going to put dictatorship into effect under the guise of the anti-terrorist struggle? What may trigger another major transformation in 2009? The answer is obvious: another 9/11 in the USA.
Terrible and bloody events are in store for the world in the beginning of 2009. Most likely, the world will witness a reality show with a nuclear blast, which will be used as a reason for the US administration to change the world order again and leave the new Great Depression behind. There is every reason to believe that the Russian Federation may suffer as a result of this possible initiative too.
Joe Biden made a sensational statement on October 19, 2008. He said that Barack Obama would have to undergo an ordeal during the first six months of his stay in the White House. It will be the time of a very serious international crisis, when Obama would have to make tough and possibly unpopular decisions both in home and foreign politics.

STARRY NEWS OPINION: AS USUAL IT'S MURDER BY WESTERN/ZION INTELLIGENCE COVERED by some local misguided radical types WHOM WESTERN INTELLIGENCE KNEW WERE GOING TO ATTACK. These devils murder the most in cold blood, and then Zion Media cry "ALQAEDA" or "MUSLIMS!" They are creating World War 3 after all, and everybody in the World is supposed to "hate Muslims!" So that's why these things happen like this

As a BBC report notes, at least some of the Mumbai attackers were not Indian and certainly not Muslim.
Pappu Mishra, a cafe proprietor at the gothic Victorian Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, described "two sprightly young men dressed in black" with AK47s who were "foreign looking, fair skinned."
Gaffar Abdul Amir, an Iraqi tourist from Baghdad, saw at least two men who started the firing outside the Leopold Cafe. "They did not look Indian, they looked foreign. One of them, I thought, had blonde hair. The other had a punkish hairstyle. They were neatly dressed," Amir told the BBC.
Other "men walked into the cafe, drank beer, settled their bills and walked out. Then they fished out guns from their bags and began firing." Muslims do not drink alcohol, that is unless they are Muslims like Marwan Al-Shehhi and Mohamed Atta, who reportedly not only liked to drink but enjoyed lap dances by topless dancers as well before they supposedly hijacked planes and flew them into buildings.
Even though these firsthand accounts indicate the attackers were white, drank alcohol and displayed the steely and professional reserve of trained military men, the emerging story carried by the corporate media blames the attacks on al-Qaeda and specifically Lashkar-e-Taiba, one Arab and the other Asian. "A terrorist group with training camps in Pakistan and strong ties with al-Qaeda as well as a history of mounting attacks in India yesterday became the chief suspect behind the atrocities," reports the Times Online, pointing to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
As the Times Online admits, Lashkar-e-Taiba is a creation of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI. It "receives considerable financial, material and other forms of assistance from the Pakistan government, routed primarily through the ISI. The ISI is the main source of LeT's funding. Saudi Arabia also provides funds," explains the South Asia Terrorism Portal. Lashkar-e-Taiba "also played a part in the ISI organized 'Bosnian campaign against the Serbs,' which was directed above the ISI by the CIA and British intelligence."
According to Andrew G. Marshall, the ISI "has long been referred to as Pakistan's 'secret government' or 'shadow state.' It's long-standing ties and reliance upon American and British intelligence have not let up, therefore actions taken by the ISI should be viewed in the context of being a Central Asian outpost of Anglo-American covert intelligence operations."
The presence of "foreign looking, fair skinned" commandos who calmly gunned down dozens of people after drinking a few beers indicates that the Mumbai attacks were likely the work of the Anglo-American covert intelligence operatives, not indigenous Indian Muslims or for that matter Arab al-Qaeda terrorists. The attacks prepare the ground for the break-up of Pakistan and the furtherance of destabilizing terrorism in the Middle East and Asia. The Mumbai attacks had little to do with India or the relationship between Muslim Pakistanis and Hindu Indians.
"Pakistan's position as a strategic focal point cannot be underestimated. It borders India, Afghanistan, China and Iran," concludes Marshall. "Destabilizing and ultimately breaking Pakistan up into several countries or regions will naturally spread chaos and destabilization into neighboring countries. This is also true of Iraq on the other side of Iran, as the Anglo-American have undertaken, primarily through Iraq, a strategy of balkanizing the entire Middle East in a new imperial project." (See Marshall's Divide and Conquer: The Anglo-American Imperial Project.)
It is no mistake, as well, that Barack Obama has called for action against Pakistan. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said last August.
Regardless of who occupies the White House, the global elite are determined to continue their agenda of violence and murder in order to realize order through chaos. Obama and the Democrats will spend the next four years blaming George W. Bush for what the neocons have done while making sure the same destructive policies remain in effect. It is a shell game. George Bush and Barack Obama control nothing, they are little more than front men for the New World Order.
In the run-up to the 2006 7/11 attacks, there were several reasons why Israel would not have been pleased with India.
On July 1, 2006, it was reported that the Indian Defense Minister had decided to delay a visit to Israel, which was planned for July 7. The purpose of the visit concerned arms deals, with India poised to purchase advanced equipment from Israel.
On July 2, 2006, United Press International reported that India had not only denied a request by the Israeli embassy to import 20 handguns, but also asked the Israelis to send 48 Glock pistols back to Tel Aviv.
On July 8, it was reported that India had voted on a resolution against Israel on the conflict in Palestine.
On July 11, the Indian press stated that 25 foreign nationals including Israelis and Russians had been blacklisted by the Goa police for drug trafficking.
The bombs were reported as a "rare mixture of RDX, ammonium nitrate, and fuel oil", and were set off by timers.
Back in 2005/6, Mossad false-flag attacks involving bombs controlled by timers or mobiles - generally blamed on "suicide bombers" - were occurring every few months.
See what an Indian columnist has to say about Mossad involvement in Mumbai:
As for Mumbai [train] blasts, the jury is still out. If the culprits are Lashkar from Kashmir, they openly claim they want freedom from India for Jammu and Kashmir. Though India, with myself as Indian hold that they are criminals. However, there is a strong belief in circle here that the local politicians have teamed up with Mossad, to target Indian Muslims. Mossad is reported to have been given a contract to arrange security for a religion Dargah/temple of Sai Baba. This is a very grave charge and neither local nor central government has publicly repudiated the claim put out by some newspaper. The motivation for such organized bomb blasts is to mobilize voter opinion against Muslims and ruling Congress and in favor of Hindutva groupies, which is now joined by a pseudo-secularist National Congress Party of Sharad Pawar, who are in a debilitating tug of war with their coalition partner, Sonia's Congress.
Poor George Bush. All he did
was lie about a disastrous war, ruin America's reputation, shred the Constitution,
divide the country (quite purposely), let one of our cities drown, spy on us,
turn us into torturers, stand by and exacerbate environmental calamity, double
the national debt, polarize our wealth into banana republic proportions and deregulate
us into the greatest economic disaster in a century.
And how do we express
our gratitude? Did we impeach him? Did we bring him up on war crimes charges?
Did we tar and feather him?
No, heartless ingrates that we are, we made him
suffer for eight years as president of the United States, with all the isolated
lack of attention that goes with that lonely job.

On November 2nd, Hebrew University student Ali Bahar was detained for three hours after refusing to shake hands with Israeli president Shimon Peres.

Hebrew University
Peres was visiting the university as part of a public relations tour. When the President approached Bahar to shake his hand, the student refused, stating QUOTE "I will not shake hands with a murderer of children."
Bahar was referring to the Israeli military occupation of Palestinian land, which has cost the lives of one thousand and fifty Palestinian children since 2000. In the same time period, one hundred twenty three Israeli children have been killed by Palestinian fighters.
Immediately following his encounter with the Israeli President, Bahar was detained by university security personnel and his student ID was confiscated.

GLOAT OVER THEIR BAIL OUT! From Campaign For Liberty

| Democrats: Abercrombie |
Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA) was the lone representative to switch his vote from "Yea" to "Nay." the link to full roll call can be found here.
YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THESE VIDEOS
UNDER THE ABOVE LINK!!!
If you want to really know the truth about the American Bail Out Fiasco, click on above link and listen to Wall Street prophet Jim Rogers and the others. He tells it plainly, "I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE LISTEN TO BERNANKE AND HIS ILK! Let the market straighten out it self. It always has in history!"
But Amerika has become the USSA! "United Socialist States of Amero!" Zionists have turned brainless America into a controlled economy, while the Soviet Union proved that that didn't work! But never mind. The American zombie people are asleep and unaware that their once great country has been stolen away from under them, since "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!" They are totally brainwashed media adepts and the dumbest clucks in the world. Proverbs says, "The wise man foresees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished!"
Talk about cults!--America is the biggest brainwashed cult of "International Bankers' Federal Reserve Media Addicts." They'll soon be drinking the bail out Kool aid, that will kill their sacred dollar god, but--and this concerns all of us--also the entire world economy sooner than later! As Wall street guru Julian Robertson said to his interviewer's question, not so long ago, "What will the end be of all this?" MISTER Wallstreet said, "Total destruction of the global infrastructure!"
Now these are real economic prophets. Rogers, Ron Paul, Julian Robertson! Forget Zionist Bernanke, who is just doing the bidding of the Big Money Boys, the robber barons who are right now in the process of robbing the US blind. When Lehman Brothers lost it, a week before they schlepped 400 billion dollars out of that organisation! Where did it go? Into the pockets of the Antichrist Money Wizards!! Where else? Wealth doesn't dissappear! It just changes hands! With a sleight of hands! Ha!
Yes folks, this bail out is the garantee that the world is going to sink into the deepest depression the world has never seen the likes of before! The 1929 Crash was a picnic compared with what is coming now. Fasten your seat belts! THIS is the beginning of the end! Jesus said in Matthew 24 there will be wars, rumors (news) of wars, pestilences (diseases) and earthquakes in many different places, but then He said, and there will be famines!
FAMINES! They have already started. Haiti, people are starving. Afrika is having food riots.The crash will make the scenario complete. Within days after the crash, when America will try to save itself with another war--what better way to save the economy? -- the oil will be cut off at the straight of Hormuz. All oil dependent countries will go in reserve mode. Lights go out. Trucks will stop driving! No garbage collection, supermarkets will be emptied in 2 days by desperate people. And then total confusion and hunger. FAMINES! The beginning of sorrows!
Sorry to tell you all that. It is because most people of the World just don't get it, that to stay safe and prosperous, is to stay close to God and his words! If they don't, they are easy prey to the Satanic deceivers. So actually it's not just the fault of the robber bankers! It's our own fault for not living in Jesus' warnings. And Christians! Or rather, especially Chrstians! Instead of listening to God's word, they listen to "Christian" false prophets, soothsayers and smooth talkers who tell them that Israelis are God's chosen people, and that we need to trust the system and the banks, and that it is ok to live on credit, and that the borrowers are NOT servants of the lenders! And so on. Americans don't seem to read the Word anymore and are bringing the entire world into jeopardy of the looming One World Government of the Antichrist.
Yes, the end is near! And sooner than your sooth saying pastor or preacher will dare to tell you. It's at the doors! Receive Jesus folks! Get ready for a rough ride! There will be anti-Christ terrorism and severe persecution of God's children all over the world, and we shall be hated of all nations, aided by the anti-God people that brought you the Da Vinci Code, Judas Gospel, ZeitGeist, Evolution and atheism! It is becoming fashion now to bash Christians, and soon that will be physical bashing as well. Turn to Jesus and His warning words! You may survive the tribulation that is almost underway! Lord help us all! Amen!
Lehman's holding company filed for bankruptcy Sept. 15 claiming $639 billion in assets, using four-month-old data. The wholly owned brokerage unit shrank to less than $100 billion in assets from $500 billion ``a few months ago,'' according to a Sept. 19 court statement by James Giddens, the trustee overseeing the settling of Lehman brokerage customer accounts by the Securities Investor Protection Corp. ---- ---- The loss in value was caused by ``changes in the market,'' according to Giddens, a partner at law firm Hughes Hubbard & Reed, who spoke at a bankruptcy court hearing in Manhattan. ---- ---- There was a similar capital flight from Bear Stearns earlier this year, he said. ---- ---- Most of Lehman's pre-bankruptcy assets were securities, according to its balance sheets. Lehman said on Sept. 10 that the consolidated gross assets of the firm stood at $600 billion and net assets at $311 billion. The difference between net and gross is the so-called matched book, which is overnight lending or securities pledged for overnight borrowing. ---- ----- Giddens didn't return calls yesterday seeking comment on his statement. SIPC President Stephen Harbeck said he'd seen the brokerage's latest asset totals and couldn't remember the numbers, which ``we don't need to know to do our job'' of settling the 630,000 customer accounts.
Congressman slams Federal Reserve power monopoly on House floor as vote nears

Monday, September 29, 2008
As a vote nears on the $700 billion dollar plus bailout bill, Congressman Ron Paul took to the House floor this morning to warn that the passage of the legislation will destroy the dollar and the world economy.
Stating that the passage of the bailout bill would only make the problem worse, the Congressman from Texas said, “This has nothing to do with free market capitalism, this has to do with a managed economy, an inflationary system, corporatism, a special interest system, and this has nothing to do with the failure of our free markets and capitalism.”
Paul blamed the current crisis on a Federal Reserve power monopoly over the money and credit system, the ceaseless borrowing and printing of money, and dismissed the bill as nothing but more of the same.

A SCOTTISH human rights activist has filmed the Israeli
navy firing machine guns at unarmed Palestinian fishing boats in the Mediterranean
Sea off the coast of the Gaza Strip. The footage, taken on September 6 by Andrew
Muncie, who is from the Highlands, shows an Israeli gunboat engaging fishing boats
while international observers hold their arms in the air and scream for them to
stop firing. No-one was injured in the incident, but Palestinian fishermen
claim 14 colleagues have been murdered at sea by the Israeli navy since the onset
of an economic blockade imposed after Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in
June 2007. Israel says patrolling these waters is a vital security measure to
stop weapons being smuggled into Gaza. Muncie, 34, of Dalbreagha, Spean
Bridge, is working with the Free Gaza movement and arrived in Gaza last month
as part of a group of 40 activists who sailed on two boats from Cyprus in an attempt
to breach Israel’s blockade. He was accompanied by an 81-year-old nun, an 84-year-old
holocaust survivor and Cherie Blair’s sister, Lauren Booth.

"faulty" official investigation into the events by the 9/11 Commission.
Last year, a lesbian here in Winnipeg clobbered a mugger with her handbag and he ran away.
When she reported this "hate crime," she was annoyed to find the police had no procedure to deal with it because there hadn't been any other "hate crimes."
Nevertheless a month ago the Canadian government passed a law (Bill C-250) that will have a chilling affect on freedom of speech. It is aimed at protecting homosexuals and other minorities from anything they deem to be "hate."
At a local "Prophesy Conference" here last week, 600 Christians heard Berit Kjos'speech entitled: "How to Prepare Your Children for Persecution." She said conditions for Bible believing Christians are starting to resemble those of Jews in Nazi Germany. READ REST OF ARTICLE HERE
This chapter of Solving 9-11 reveals a very significant part of the extensive Israeli and Zionist criminal network, which the evidence indicates was behind the crime of the century. The information in this chapter, which comes from material in the public domain, strongly supports the thesis that senior officers from Israeli military intelligence agencies were the chief architects of the false-flag terror of 9-11.
The spectacular explosions that accompanied the crashes (WTC 2)
produced
light flame and whitish smoke (seen on left; impact area),
which is indicative
of Thermite in the two computer rooms struck.

The bizarre explosions that shot out of the east
and north side of WTC 1
came from the
computer room of Marsh Kroll, a Zionist-owned
company
that has profited from the "War on Terror."

Yep, these are cheap plastic coffins. Hundreds
of thousands of them. Don’t believe it?
Why coffins? Why in the middle of
Georgia?
Well, apparently the Government is expecting a half million people to die relatively soon, and the Atlanta Airport is a major airline traffic hub, probably the biggest in the country, which means Georgia is a prime base to conduct military operations and coordination. It is also the home of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but usually you don’t buy 500,000 plastic coffins “just in case something happens,” you buy them because you know something is going to happen. These air tight seal containers would be perfect to bury victims of plague or biological warfare in, wouldn’t they?

JERUSALEM: Israel is using rats to drive Arab families out of their homes in the Old City of Jerusalem, Palestinian Authority's (PA) official news agency Wafa has alleged.
"Rats have become an Israeli weapon to displace and expel Arab residents of the occupied Old City of Jerusalem," it said in a report. "Over the past two months, dozens of (Jewish) settlers come to the alleyways and streets of the Old City carrying iron cages full of rats. They release the rats, which find shelter in open sewage systems," the report said.
The official Palestinian news agency quoted unnamed Arab residents as saying that they had tried to eliminate the rats with various poisons, but to no avail.
Israel's goal was to "increase the suffering of the (Arabs) in Jerusalem by turning their lives into a real tragedy and forcing them to evict their homes and leave the city," Hasan Khater, secretary-general of Islamic-Christian Front in Jerusalem, was quoted by the agency as saying.
Wafa , controlled and funded by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' office, has in the past accused Israel of using wild pigs to drive Palestinians out of their homes and fields in the West Bank.
Jerusalem Municipality spokesman, Gidi Schmerling, dubbed the report a work of "pure fiction", with no connection to reality, the Jerusalem Post reported.
On show in Taiwan, the remains of two pre-historic mammoths from Russia's far north. The two mammoths, Yukagir and Oymiakon, roamed Sibera "tens of thousands of years ago" and were named after the locations where they were found. "The sponsors of the show wanted to raise awareness of GLOBAL WARMING!" Here in Taiwan we are bombarded with Global Warming Hype in the media and by foundations and campaigns. The Freemasons are working overtime for the New World Order!
David Icke speaks to the constituents of Haltemprice and Howden about the ‘Big Brother’ election, forced by the resignation of David Davis, and the move towards the global Big Brother enslavement we are all facing.
Even though 21.000 scientists many of whom PhD's, have signed a statement that global warming is a normal phenomenon and already replaced by global cooling at the moment, the NWO is instructing all its masonic political puppets worlwide to push the hoax that humans are heating up the world with their carbon emissions. We are being grossly framed by this worldwide new environmental religion that is supposed to keep us, the masses, out of cars & planes, so the elite has the roads and airwaves to themselves.
We are gradually being reduced to serfs under these supers lording it over our carbon emissions through carbon tax, so they can even get rich from us. In Amsterdam airport for intercontinental flights they charge an extra carbon tax of almost 50 Euros extra, and here in Taiwan people are told to become vegetarians to cut down on cattle herds that produce the most greenhouse gasses after all. What a travesty of the truth, what hype, what deception. And every government and NGO and greens party and environment group seems to be beholden of the New World Order. "Cut Carbon" parties and campaigns and adverts and publications and articles and university symposiums with blaring posters, are assaulting & displacing the truth that global warming and cooling is a normal phenomena not related to our carbon emissions at all. But you have to obey anyway, and follow Big Green Brother whether you agree like it or not. So thick is this deception that is spreading over this globe as a poisonous cloud like the death angel in the 10 commandments movie. They shall and will enslave us, and tell you which cold neon lights should pale your houses, and what labels your cars shold be carrying, as long as you still have the right to drive one. See the article below and weep over the nonsense they are cramming down our throats.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- California is making it mandatory for cars to be labeled with global warming scores, figures that take into account emissions from vehicle use and fuel production.
The law requiring the labels goes into effect at the start of next year for all 2009 model cars, though its expected the labels will be popping up on cars in the coming months.
The labeling law forces cars for sale to display a global warming score, on a scale of one to 10, which is based on how vehicles in the same model year compare to one another. The higher the score, the cleaner a car is. The score takes into account emissions related to production of fuel for each vehicle as well as the direct emissions from vehicles.
The score will be displayed next to the already-required smog score, which also rates cars one to 10 for how many smog-forming emissions they emit. For both scores, an average vehicle will have a score of five.
California is the first state of pass such as law, and a similar law will take effect in New York for 2010 model year vehicles. Global warming scores will be included on the state's DriveClean website.
While this law is intended to help consumers take into account emissions while purchasing cars, a proposed law in the European Union would require E.U. public sector bodies put a price on emissions.
A law endorsed by the European Parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety would make governments put a monetary cost on the emissions of vehicles they plan to purchase, and add that to expense calculations. The law would exclude certain types of vehicles, such as ambulances and fire trucks.
