Jim Fetzer: How Much does Israel Cost the Average American?

While so many Americans are subsisting on food stamps, losing their homes, and accumulating credit card debt they will never be able to pay off, the US is giving Israel $3 billion in direct foreign aid every year and, according to Congressman James Traficant, another $12-17 billion in indirect aid such as valuable military equipment deemed scrapped, loan guarantees, and preferential contracts. Israel is an affluent country with more than 10,000 millionaires and, according to the International Monetary Fund, was one of the few economies that weathered the 2008 financial storm nearly unscathed. It's hard to calculate the exact amount of foreign aid America gives Israel every year, because the Israeli lobby in America secretly campaigns to give the tiny desert nation as much under the table aid as they can secure. In 1992, AIPAC President David Steiner was caught on tape bragging about his organization's incredible power in America. Steiner first admitted to manipulating the US Secretary of State into giving Israel more foreign aid. Steiner said he, met with Secretary of State Jim Baker and I cut a deal with him. I got, besides the $3 billion, you know they are looking for the Jewish votes, and I'll tell him whatever he wants to hear. Besides the $10 billion in loan guarantees which was a fabulous thing, $3 billion in foreign, in military aid, and I got almost a billion dollars in other goodies that people don't even know about. According to the General Accounting Office (GAO)
Israel operates the the largest spying operation on America of any of our allies, and they use some of their intelligence gathering to steal American business secrets, which cost the US jobs and money. The two largest and most powerful Israeli lobbies in America, AIPEC and the Anti-Defamation League, have both been caught red-handed spying for Israel, see the 2005 AIPAC Scandal and the 1993 ADL Spying scandal. Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the FBI rounded up more than a hundred Israeli spies who were caught infiltrating dozens of federal agencies. It was one of the largest spy rings in American history. If the American government took the $15-$20 billion it gives Israel every year and put it into a savings account for the 4.5 million babies born per year, every American would receive $8000-$10,500 upon turning 18 years old. In another option, the US government could give the money away in a lottery and make 15k-20k Americans millionaires every year. Either of these options would provide just scratching the surface when we look at the cost of America's relationship with Israel. Dr. Thomas R. Stauffer, a world renowned economist who taught economics and Middle East studies at Harvard, as well as serving twice in the Executive Office of the President on task force for oil imports and controls, estimated that as 2002 Israel has cost the US $3 trillion.

Hardi Stone columnist: Vet Like Me edition 4.5!

Featured Interview: Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth. In 2004, Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) was deployed to Iraq as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot for the Illinois Army National Guard. She was one of the first Army women to fly combat missions during Operation Iraqi Freedom until her helicopter was hit by an RPG on November 12, 2004. Duckworth lost her legs and partial use of her right arm in the explosion and was awarded a Purple Heart for her combat injuries. Duckworth spent the next year
recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. As one of the highest ranking patients, she quickly became an advocate for her fellow soldiers, and testified before Congress about caring for our Veterans and wounded warriors. In November 1012 she was elected to Congress for the eighth district of Illinois. Duckworth declined a military medical retirement and continues to drill as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Illinois Army National Guard. While in graduate school at George Washington University I found that my peers and those whose values I most respected in class were all Veterans or active members of the military. They recommended I enroll in ROTC courses to learn more about the military. I fell in love with the military at basic training. I fell in love with the challenges and the camaraderie. I even liked the drill sergeants yelling at us, challenging uds to do better. I knew that I'd serve as long as the Army needed me. In addition, a member of my family has proudly served our country throughout every period of conflict dating back to the American Revolution, so service has played an enormous role in my life. After your serious wounds you sustained in Iraq, why did you continue service to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs and as a mentor to other disabled veterans? After I sustained my injuries in Iraq, I made a commitment to my buddies who saved me to make every moment of my life count. In 2006 I was appointed Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and then went to work as an Assistant Secretary for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in 2009. I truly felt that my service to this country was not over after I recovered. I wanted to advocate for service men and women who does not end when they come home. In your opening statement on June 26 to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, you began as follows: I want to support our small business as much as possible, I want these set-asides to be successful, but I am appalled by the advantages taken because of the system. Is one of these advantages for fraud the government wide policy of self-certification of service connected disability? It is disheartening to learn about fraud in government programs that have been created to support Veterans who have given so much to our country. These programs and set-asides are meant to encourage those with service connected disabilities to take the skills and experiences they have learned in the military and put them to good use. 

F. William ENGDAHL: Saudis' Unprecedented Break with Washington over Egypt!

One of the least commented aspects of ousting Egypt's Morsi is the defiant act of the Saudi Royal House in backing the ouster of the Brotherhood and supporting the military restoration. The Saudi move is unprecedented in its open defiance of White House declared backing for the Muslim Brotherhood. The implications of the split are huge. Twilight in the desert? Since the time in 1945 on his return from the fateful Yalta Conference, that US President Roosevelt met Saudi King Ibn Saud and won exclusive rights for US Rockefeller group oil companies to Saudi Arabia's vast oil wealth, the relationship between Saudi Arabia's vast oil wealth, the relationship between Saudi and US foreign policy has been one of almost satrapy status for the Saudis. Following the Kissinger orchestrated 1973 oil shock in which OPEC raised its price by some 400%, Washington extracted a pledge from the Saudis that they would insure that OPEC sold its oil only in dollars, thereby ensuring
the continued dominance of the US dollar as world reserve currency. In return, Washington agreed to sell US arms including training the Saudi Air Force. And in 2010 just as Washington launched its Arab Spring democracy offensive in Tunisia, Egypt and across the Islamic arc of crisis, the Obama Administration announced the largest arms deal in US history. The US agreed to sell the Saudis 84 F-25s new and upgrade another 70 as part of a $46 billion deal, the biggest arms deal in US history, as it prepared to isolate Iran. As we reported in an earlier article, before the Egyptian military coup, the Saudis had been given secret assurance to Defense Minister and Chief of the Army, General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, that the Saudis along with other conservative Gulf oil states including Kuweit and UAE would guarantee financial support should the Obama Administration cut the $1 billion annual aid to Egypt's military in retaliation for ousting their man, Morsi. On July 17, the newly sworn
in Egyptian transitional government confirmed that it has received $6 billion in grants, loans and fuel from Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Saudi Arabia approved $4 billion in aid to Egypt and the UAE. Saudi Arabia approved $4 billion in aid to Egypt and the UAE has offered $2 billion in desperately needed support for the economy. The Saudi funds comprise a $1.5 billion central bank deposit, $1.5 billion loan in the form of an interest free deposit with Egypt's central bank. The news is a double slap in the face to Washington who had insisted that Morsi's government buckle under to harsh IMF conditionalities as precondition for financial help. Qatar reacts dramatically: Conspicuously, one Gulf energy rich state absent from the aid is Qatar whose Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani had poured more than $6 billion in Egypt since the revolution two and a half years ago and perhaps another $7 billion to bankroll Islamists in Libya, Syria and Gaza!

Jonas E. Alexis: The Zionist Regime and the Israeli Run NSA Busted, Again!

I don't want to live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity or love or friendship is recorded. And that's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing top build and it's not something I'm willing to build and it's not something I'm willing to live under. Edward Snowden. A few weeks ago, I pointed out that Jewish neocons such as Houla Romano Horing and Daniel Pipes want the United States to support both the Assad government and the Syrian rebels/terrorists/Jahidists I said that Horing and Pipes want Assad and the rebels, terrorists to fight until they kill each other so that Israel won't have to worry about them. Based on this logic, I said, If Assad is winning, we, the United States should increase support for the rebels, if the rebels are winning, we should increase support for Assad! Guess what? The Obama administration is doing just that. Here's what the Washington Time has reported just a few days ago: The Obama administration's decision to arm Syrian rebels was made with the promise that US weapons would not get into the wrong hands. But reports show that nefarious forces in Syria, including both pro-Assad fighters and the Islamic extremists trying to oust him, have already obtained U.S. weapons. Under the pretext of humanitarian intervention, the idea is to help a select number of vetted rebel groups topple the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad. But US and Western weapons have been reaching Iranian backed Shiite militias fighting to keep Bashar Assad's forces in power in Syria, USA Today reported this week. So in its quest to reduce the horrible violence in Syria, the Obama administration, with considerable Republican support, has so far aided pro-Assad militias and Islamic terrorist groups, both of whom have been accused of cruel human rights violations. The article concludes, The US has no business getting involved in a chaotic civil war in Syria. Claims of humanitarian intentions are not credible, given who has received US weapons so far, and any substantial military intervention would only make things worse. What the article did not point out was that this covert and Mephistophelian operation was largely mapped out by two Jewish neocons, Pipes and Horing. Once again, Bill Kristol was right when he said that Obama is a born again neocon. This born-again neocon always ends up following the dictates of the Jewish neoconservative movement in the Middle East, despite the fact that Obama's own lawyers have advised him time and time again that aiding the Syrian rebels, terrorists is a violation of international law. Since the neoconservative regime would support any group that fits their Mephistophelian agenda, they always end up supporting terrorist groups as well.

Veterans Today: Veterans find out of state military service can cost big when starting college!

By Kate Irby Mc Clatchy Washington Bureau.Some military service members and veterans are being denied their most well-known government benefit: college tuition coverage. Ted Spencer, a Navy veteran who grew up in Charlotte, N.C., continued to pay the state income tax during his service. But he was denied the in-state tuition rate at North Carolina University because military service had taken him to California. The federal government covers the cost of the $22,000 out of state tab. It's mind -blowing to me that North Carolina, a state that is known for being extremely military friendly and home to the largest military base in the United States would be so difficult when it comes to military veterans who want to call this state home, Spencer said. Belen Gebremichael, the residency director at N.C. State, said the university has little control to which students they grant in-state tuition,, since it has to follow state guidelines. Like many states, North Carolina requires requires students to be both legal residents and physically living in the state to qualify for the in-state rate. It means that military members could be paying income taxes to a state the entire time they are serving, but if they're physically stationed in another state they may not qualify for lower tuitions. Legislation introduced in the House of Representatives in February by Rep.. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., and in the Senate in January by Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., would change that by allowing veterans to attend any public college or university at the in-state tuition rate starting Aug. 1, 2014. If schools would not provide the discounted rate, they would lose federal funds from the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, which provides funding for service members' tuition and fees. The men and women who served this nation did not just defend the citizens of their home states, but the citizens of all 50 states, Miller said. The educational benefits they receive from the taxpayers should reflect that. Some universities, however, have expressed concern over the bill, wondering if its timeline is too fast and its impact on their finances too steep. The timeline is the biggest concern over the bill, wondering if its timeline is too fast and its impact on their finances too steep. The timeline is the biggest concern of Lt. Gen. Joseph Weber, vice president of student affairs at Texas A&M University in College Station, because most public schools are not solely in charge of their tuition rates. Most states would have to pass legislation to comply with the federal law. In addition, a board may have to approve the new tuition rates, which would then be implemented at the university. Since some legislatures, such as Texas', only meet every other year, it's likely they could miss the deadline and be penalized, Weber said.

Roi Tov: Columnist: IDF Offensive Redeployment Amid Syrian Fire!

On July 16, 2013, at least 25 mortars landed next to an Israeli stronghold near Quneitra on the Golan Heights. Astonishing images published by Israeli media show that the IDF has been redeployed in an offensive pattern. Towing Crows: The extraordinary picture above is one of them. In the background, one can spot a plume of smoke rising from the mortars' hit. Next to it, one can see the entry to a stronghold viewpoint, featuring a protected access. The two soldiers are standing on the roof of a stronghold defense position. Everything beyond the stronghold is Syria. The mortars are secondary. The soldiers at the front of the picture are the real news. The two soldiers are manipulating an orev "crow" in Hebrew, also can be translated as ambusher, someone making an ambush missile. But that is an American TOW, many readers are exclaiming by now. As recently commented in First Super Hercules Delivered to IAF, Israel doesn't buy key equipment from the shelf. It always demands upgrades and changes. Sometimes, equipment is further upgraded by the IDF. The modified equipment is then re-baptised. The result offers what in the IDF is called field security. A captured IDF soldier will be able to spell out the new code names but would be unable to link it to the original equipment or to state how the equipment was modified. He never saw the original. American TOWs became IDF's Orvim, the crows' blackness camouflaging all links to the original item. Practically all IDF brigades have an anti-tank company, more often than not equipped with TOWs. They can be used in a defensive deployment of the unit, but not in this case. This is what makes the image extraordinary. Look at the shoe of the soldier. It is red, identifying him as a paratrooper. In other words, the huliya, joint, vertebra, link, a squad of two or three soldiers belongs to the Paratroopers Brigade Anti-Tank Company. Considered an almost elite unit, they are offensive in nature. In battle, they move ahead of their exclusive brigade, clearing the ground of tanks and other armored vehicles. Bah, they are ant-killers, they walk everywhere, it means nothing, I told myself. Then, I noticed the second image. IDF Tank Overlooking Quneitra. The tank is within a stronghold. A few days ago, in Key IDF Rearrangement Announced, I commented on the redeployment of the IDF forces on the Golan. Specifically, that Division 366 will take over the strongholds line and Division 36, while the IDF heaviest and largest regular division will become one of the five multi-theatre division of the army. Division 36 is an armored one, it has many tanks on the Golan. Yet, I have spent over two years in the area, know all the IDF strongholds and never, but absolutely never, have seen a tank within a stronghold in an attack position. Its cannon can easily reach Quneitra. IDF redeployed into an offensive pattern. Golan on Fire: Finally, the third picture shows the fire caused by the mortars. They didn't hit the stronghold, but they set on fire the adjacent minefield. At the time these lines were written, no serious damages were reported.

Jim Fetzer: September 11: Inside Job or Mossad Job?

by Laurent Guyenot'. Israel's role in the events of September 11, 200l that shape the 21st century, is the subject of bitter controversy, or rather a real taboo even within the 9/11 Truth Movement, causing the ostracism of the man who dared to breach the subject, Thierry Meyssan. Most advocacy groups, mobilized behind the slogan 9/11was an Inside Job, remain discreet regarding the evidence involving the secret services of the Jewish state. Laurent Guyenot focuses on certain compelling, though grossly under reported facts ans analyzes the mechanisms of denial. While Israel's role in the destabilization of the world post September 11 is becoming increasingly clear, the idea that a faction of Likudniks, aided by their allies embedded in the US State apparatus, are responsible for the false flag operation of September 11 is becoming more difficult to suppress, and some individuals have the courage to state so publicly. Francesco Cossiga, President of Italy between 1985 and 1992, declared on 30 November 2007 to the daily Corriere della Sera: From areas around the Palazzo Chigi, nerve center of direction of Italian intelligence, it is noted that the non-authenticity of the video is supported by the fact that Osama bin Laden in it confessed that al Qaeda was responsible for the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York. However, all of the democratic areas of America and of Europe, with the Italian center-left in the forefront, now know full well that the disastrous attack was planned and executed by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world to falsely incriminate Arabic countries and to persuade the Western Powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan. Alan Sabrosky, former professor at the US Army War College and the US Military Academy, did not hesitate to proclaim his belief that September 11 is a classical operation orchestrated by Mossad carried out with accomplices within the United States government, and his voice has been forcefully echoed by some US Army veterans sites who are disgusted by the vile war that they were forced to wage on behalf of the September 11 lie or that of the weapons of mass destruction of Saddam Hussein. The arguments in favor of the Mossad hypothesis are not only related to the reputation of the world's most powerful secret service, which a report by the US Army School for Advanced Military Studies, quoted by the Washington Times on the eve of September 11th, described as wildcat, ruthless and cunning. Able to carry out an attack on US forces and disguise it as an act committed by Palestinians or Arabs. The Mossad involvement, together with other Israeli elite units, is made evident by a number of little known facts.

Dean Henderson: The House of Rothschild!

The Rothschild family combined with the Dutch House of Orange to found Bank of Amsterdam in the early 1600's as the world's first private central bank. Prince William of Orange married into the English House of Windsor, taking King James II's daughter Mary as his bride. The Orange Order Brotherhood, which more recently fomented Northern Ireland Protestant violence, put William III on the English throne where he ruled both Holland and Britain. In 1694, William III teamed up with the Rothschilds to launch the Bank of England. The Old Lady of Thread-needle Street, as the Bank of England is known, is surrounded by thirty foot walls. Three floors beneath it the third largest stock of gold bullion in the world is stored. The biggest hoard lies beneath it the third largest stock of gold bullion in the world is stored. The biggest hoard lies beneath the Rothschild controlled Federal Reserve Bank of New York. According to the excellent mvie The Money Masters, much of this gold was confiscated from now-empty vaults at Fort Knox as collateral on US debt obligations to the Eight Families Federal Reserve crowd. This financial mafia further consolidated its control over the world's gold stock when 200 million ounces of the stuff belonging to the Bank of Nova Scotia was recovered from beneath the carnage of the World Trade Center. One day after its November 1, 2001 recovery, New York Mayor Rudi Guliani laid off hundreds of rescue workers at Ground Zero. A short time later he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and named Time magazine's Man of the Year. The daily London gold fixing occurs at the N.M. Rothschild Bank in the City of London. Here, five of the Eight Families linked banks unilaterally decide what the price of gold will be each morning. Kleinwort Benson's Sharps Pixley subsidiary is one of the five firms. Another is Mocatta Metals. It is majority owned by Standard Chartered, the Cecil Rhodes founded bank whose Dubai branch wired Mohammed Atta the funds he needed to carry out the 911 operation. According to British MP Michael Meacher in an article for the Guardian , Omar Saeed Sheikh, the man who beheaded US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002, was a British M-16 agent. He says it was Sheikh who, at the behest of Pakistani ISI General Mahmood Ahmed, wired the $100,000 to Mohammed Atta from Standard Chartered's Dubai branch before 911. Meacher's claim has been corroborated by Dennis Lomel, director of FBI's financial crimes unit, and by an October 11, 2001article in the Times of India. Mocatta Metals is also a favorite conduit for Israeli Mossad financing.

Snowden: Human Rights and Global Information Security!

On July 12 fugitive whistle-blower Edward Snowden held a meeting with human rights representatives in the transit area of Moscow airport. Snowden told a small group of activists that he was reinstating a claim for asylum in Russia and asked for their support. In order to be guaranteed safety in Russia, the only way for him to go is to file a formal asylum pleas. According to Russian law, there are provisions to be met, before the asylum could be granted. First, it applies to a person who seeks shelter and protection from persecution, or faces a real threat of being persecuted in the country of citizenship or residence for social and political activities or convictions. Second, the activities and convictions should not contradict democratic principles and world wide recognized international norms. Finally, a person asking for asylum should be an immediate object of persecution. Prima facie all the conditions are evidently met in the given case. The US persecutes Snowden for the efforts to attract the world public attention to the mass human rights violations that is social and political activities and convictions. The views expounded by Snowden do not contradict democratic principles and international legal norms, he makes clear his support for democracy and law. The case has entailed a string of human rights violations, so the Snowden's activities are aimed at protection of international law making the world community a party which has an interest in the outcome of proceedings. At international level, article 12 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks. It's also expedient to recall the article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) that guarantees individual liberty stating: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to protection of the law against such interference or attacks. Talking about Snowden himself, there is an outright violation of article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which protects the individual freedom of movement, Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country. The article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights says, Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention. 

Gordon Duff: Population CleansIng Wars!

It is a mistake to look on what has become endless wars, first centering in the Middle East, as struggles over religion, political theories, sectarian struggles or post colonial realignments. Each hypothesis fails. Increasingly, intelligence analysts are agreeing on one thing, there is clear evidence of game theory chaos theory, with one clear purpose, to reduce populations in specific areas where key resources are in abundance. The first hard evidence hit with the discoveries of Dr. Chris Busby, researching the effects of depleted uranium use in the Fallujah region of Iraq. It took several years to get access to the area. There was a reason. Not only was it found that fertility had been suppressed and the region plagued with the onslaught of horrific birth defects but that samples taken from the local population indicated that it wasn't just depleted uranium but pure, weapons grade U-235 that was found. Not only were nuclear weapons used in Iraq but purposefully dirty weapons, not the more modern MRR Minimal Residual Radiation. 3rd and 4th generation nukes developed ay Livermore Labs in California after 1991. It was at that time that their weapons program not only bifurcated into a highly classified area but largely went dark with top weapons not only bifurcated into a highly classified area but went dark with top weapons physicists being kept out of the loop. Thus, we find the use of dirty weapons, never meant to win a battle or reduce an enemy stronghold but to destroy a race. Then, of course, there is still the issue of the endless tons of depleted uranium, not just Iraq but Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and perhaps even Syria. Much of what we are witnessing was predicted by Zbigniew Bzezinski, who outlined exactly what we are seeing in his book. The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives. In that context, how America manages Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination. rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about three fourths of the  world's known energy resources. Brzezinski goes further, in fact our last two decades are based on his works, efforts he clearly now wishes could be reversed. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. Nevertheless, the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well being. The economic self denial, that is, defense spending, and the human sacrifice, casualties, even among professional soldiers required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization.

Jim W. Dean: Zimmerman Innocent, Huffington Post Wants Him Lynched!

Liberal Media, Expecting a Not Guilty Verdict, Tries to Ignite Race Riots. I got confused this evening when rebooting my computer and AOL came up with a breaking headline that Jurors find Zimmerman not guilty. I thought I had clicked on the link but a story came up about the jury asking for clarification. So I went back and repeated the process with the same result. On try number three what I finally found was a Huffington Post headline by Jermaine Spradley, yes he is black, which reads George Zimmerman Not Guilty: Jury Lets Trayvon Martin Killer Go? Ouch there brother Jermaine, I think you and AOL are reading off of different dictionaries regarding what the words Not Guilty mean. Your headline fit right in with the other who were priming the race riot pumps in anticipation of the prosecution's case going down in flames which we all watched happen this past weeks. We were shocked to see the judge try to taint the jury by slipping in the option of a child abuse charge in a last attempt to tag Zimmerman with something. I can't wait to hear what the jury's reflections are going to be about that. I expect them to be devastating. But pretend a journalist Spradley was not working alone this week on trying to stir up nationwide race riots. At least one top law enforcement official went public that they expected race riots if Zimmerman was found not guilty. I have been around long enough to read the tea leaves of signaling that it's OK to riot and attack random white people over the Zimmerman case because we will just blame it all on white racism. The case stank from the beginning with obvious stoking of racial tensions from the first day. All the public saw for a long time was a kiddie picture taken years ago of Trayvon. I did not see a real photo of him until the day about which I have shared with you today. He was not a kid, but a strong muscular young man who stood taller than Zimmerman. But the media got away with the overt mis-impression. I would guess that 99% of the public is still unaware that the police chief that was dismissed early in the case was actually the police chief for security in the school system. Why? Well when checking into our angelic Trayvon we find the chief decided to rig a nice decline in the juvenile crime statistics by ordering his officers to cut way back on student criminal reports being filed with the real police. When Trayvon cut class one day to rob a house a few blocks away, he was stopped and searched by a school police officer on a vandalism case where he had been caught on the school cameras tagging a locker with a magic marker. When it was searched his bag contained an above average amount of jewelery and a screw driver that could have been used to jimmy a cheap apartment lock. Mass media hid this photo as it showed how big Trayvon was, longer arms and taller than Zimmerman. It would have the public asking why the kiddie picture was used so long. We know why? Because it had all those little black kids wearing Trayvon identity hoods, that's why. It was a psy-ops, and it worked perfectly.

Jonas E. Alexis: God and the Intellectuals (Part II).

A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question. Cosmologist Sir Fred Hoyle. The scientific community experienced one of its most important paradigm shifts in the twentieth century when scientists discovered evidence that the universe was not eternal, but had a beginning. As Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose state, almost everyone now believes that the universe, and time itself, had a beginning at the big bang. Many scientists were bewildered by that discovery because it clearly pointed toward a conclusion they had been trying to avoid. Not only did it compel them to reconsider their theories, but it also implied that a greater intelligent force must exist. After all, everything that begins to exist has a cause, the universe began to exist,therefore the universe has a cause. While physicist and cosmologist Paul Davies agrees that the scientific data suggest that the universe had a beginning, he rejects the conclusion of a Creator because, in his own words, I never liked the idea of divine tinkering. When all is said and done, the scientific evidence does not offer us many choices when it comes to the beginning of the universe. Despite the fact that theists have been saying for thousands of years that the universe had a beginning, some atheist scientists have just figured out in the twentieth century. The only difference is that the theist posits a Creator as the cause, whereas the atheist tries to come up with something else. Since the eternal universe hypothesis has now been rejected by the scientific community, we are left with two possible and frightening explanations: either the universe created itself, which is a contradiction in terms, or someone else did the job. The universe as we know it is a privileged one, containing all the elements required for life, alter or remove a single element and death on a massive scale will ensue. This is a fact most physicists agree upon, however reluctantly, and is what mathematician and philosopher David Berlinski calls a put up job. If the universe created itself, that means that the universe had to be in existence before it created itself! This is not only self-contradictory but completely incompatible with all the known laws of science and human experience. Unfortunately, many brilliant minds have fallen into the trap of what I call intellectual perversity. Daniel Dennett declares in his book Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon that the universe creates itself ex nihilo, and that, he believes, is the ultimate bootstrapping trick. Quite frankly, it is a bootstrapping trick, and Dennett gets stuck on that trick because he wants the origin of this self-creation to be non-miraculous. Perhaps Berlinski was quite right when he joked a few years ago: We lose something in the literary or intellectual culture that's no longer accessible.

Dr. Kevin Barrett: Malala is another Illuminati Psy Op!

Below is Henry Makow's edited with intro version of Zafar Bangash's story. For the long version, including evidence that the Malala shooting was a staged event, not a Taliban attack, see Scott Creighton's multi-part series. Malala: poster girl for genocide. Henry Macow.com. Educating girls will change the world, Malala, 16, told the UN Friday. Change is satanist code for social & cultural degradation. Malala has the hallmarks of an Illuminati psyop: the mass media rush as one to sanctify her, Illuminati whores, politicians and celebrities alike, endorse her. The article below by Zahar Bangash makes makes the Illuminati connection  very clear. Malala is a champion of education for girls. Education today comes with a heavy dose of gender-killing feminism. The Illuminati use this toxin to destroy traditional societies and reduce population by alienating women from marriage and motherhood. Who says learning only takes place in a classroom, and not in a home where the Illuminati can't control the message? Liberal i.e. Masonic education has degraded Western society and created many generations of lost souls. As usual, the Illuminati do well by doing good. Mulala's father owns a chain of private schools and huge UK/US education corporations are vying for a share of the Malala Fund cash grab. Anyone who watched the hagiography that passed for TV news Friday can confirm that Western society is run by hypocritical, sanctimonious, shameless liars. One cannot help but wonder whether her father's motive was in promoting girl's education or he feared his income dwindling if the girls' schools he was running were shut down by the Taliban. Was Malala Yousafzai used for a larger US plan? The attack on Malala Yousafzai in October 2012 evoked worldwide condemnation. From US President Barack Obama to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, all condemned the attack. The question is: why is Malala given so much prominence when other attacks on girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan go virtually unnoticed? The attempt on the life of Malala Yousafzai, a 15 year old Pakistani schoolgirl from Mingora in Pakistan's Swat Valley on October 9 has aroused worldwide outrage. Two other girls were also injured in the attack as Malala was returning home in a school bus. There were rallies in her support not only in Pakistan but some very high-powered global players also weighed in on her case. In what must be a first, US President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown all condemned the attack on Malala as did most politicians in Pakistan. Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie suggested Malala should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize while Madonna put Malala's name on her bare back!

Michael Chester: Israel Loses Face and an F-16 in Syria!

The loss of a single aircraft is relatively easy to sweep under the rug, but a major engagement would see the planes raining down like they did in 1973, though a complete media lock down kept that information from becoming common knowledge. Israel announced on July 8 that one of their F-16s suffered a mechanical failure off the coast of Gaza. A military spokesman for the Israeli Air Force (IAF) said both pilots were recovered. The plane is said to have crashed into the Mediterranean Sea. Almost no part of this story is true. It makes as much sense as the story of the American Navy putting 22 Navy Seals on a National Guard helicopter. Nobody bought that one. Israel did lose an F-16. They are unable to hide the fact that one of their first line aircraft is no longer in inventory. Did Israel, as multiple reports now indicate, and perhaps even confirm, really lose an F-16 and its crew of two to a Syrian C-300 missile 48 hours before the claimed incident and over 400 miles from the claimed location? On May 4, 2013, the Syrian Navy sunk an Israeli Dolphin submarine. Israel, unwilling to accept the public humiliation of such a loss: a disaster of such a proportion to its citizens has been repainting hull numbers and shuffling crew rosters on its remaining submarines for two months. As Senior Editor, Gordon Duff says: Israel has suffered a number of serious reverses of late. When Israel suffers, it loses face. Israel has found an interesting way of dealing with losing face. They lie. Lost aircraft, or something like a Dolphin submarine, especially during an offensive operation, are routinely never disclosed to the public for a variety of reasons. Informed sources have disclosed that the F-16 training accident reported off the coast of Gaza was cover for their plane lost in the Syrian warehouse attack which is claimed was targeted as an S-300 component part base. This attack sounded fishy to us right away, starting with it being reported by Global Research which is an organization rumored to have complex allegiances. First, these missile systems are roll on roll off mobile launching systems designed to be deployed rapidly. Upon arrival they can be ready to fire within, well, you wouldn't believe it. Second, S-300 components or inventory missiles would never be stored in an exposed warehouse facility where they would be sitting ducks. Each missile battalion moves continually and keeps its inventory moving with it. Historically, the most effective way of destroying S-300 missiles is by crashing aircraft into them or, perhaps, the other way around. Third, highly trained pilots, and Israel has them, are trained to defeat air defense systems. That said, the Israelis could possibly initiate and attack flying in at 50 feet. Our sources tell us the explosion in the photo shown by Global Research fit that of a 2000 lb iron bomb, the standard payload for an F-16B. But while getting in is one thing, getting out alive is something entirely different. 

Dr. Franklin Lamb: AIPAC and Israeli Spies Running US Sanctions!

AIPAC & OFAC Ratchet Up US Sanctions Targeting Syria and Iran's Populations. Dear Readers, the main title is mine. Decide for yourself when you finish reading Franklin's connecting of the dots whether I have hyped the story or not. To have high Treasury Dept officials, or even State Department ones heading over to the AIPAC to break bread with their fellow tribesmen as the deploy American taxpayer funding assets to work for Israeli and international Jewish interests I personally would consider a form or treason. For some reason no one seems interested in reporting them for this. Could that be because it is going on all throughout our government and considered just the costs of doing business like farmers dealing with droughts and floods. American media of course have abandoned us to our fates, and gone over to the dark forces to try to assure their own survival. Let's Cut 'Em Off at the Knees and Let Allah Sort It Out! Has American government become an Israeli occupied territory on any issued key to Israel? The US Treasury Department's Office of Financial Assets Control, sincw March of 2012, is directed by Mr. Adam J. Szubin who more has boasted on the sidelines of a Congressional Hearing on Iran and Syria and at last March's AIPAC's national conference, that he fancies himself a modern day Inspector Javert. Choosing the Victor Hugo character, according to one Congressional source, as a kind of role model because of Javert's focused and relentless obsession. Szubin has pledged the same with pursuing the financial interests of anyone on the planet that in any way violates the massive and still growing US led economic sanctions that are targeting the civilian populations of Syria and Iran. For last fall's Halloween party on the Hill, Mr. Szubin works closely with his mentor, David S. Cohen, a bit less so, some say of the Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. The two gentlemen often work together, and sometimes with friends located less than a 20 minute walk across the Mall below the US Capitol buildings at the AIPAC HQ. It is selected AIPAC staff, sometimes over a catered lunch, that they dream up and craft ways to cut off the financial legs and the lines of banking support for all terrorists. They also enforce US led politically motivated civilian targeting economic sanctions against rogue nations, read: the civilian populations of Syria and Iran, and even sometimes combat the financial support of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the latter only with respect to 'bad' countries like Iran, as opposed to 'good' countries like Israel. Has OFAC been penetrated by Israeli Intelligence? OFAC has been accused of taking orders from AIPAC, who takes orders from the Israeli Embassy, while for some reason it is not required to register and foreign agents, and whose offices reportedly flood Szubin and Cohen with memoranda on how to, as a sign two weeks ago above the printer in AIPAC's library read, cut em off at the knees and let Allah sort it out!

Jim W. Dean: The Battle of Britain and Poets Galore!

The young Spitfire pilots rush for their planes, some for the last time. The Crimean War Brought Us the First Photo Journalist War Correspondents, the Veterans Today Multimedia People of their Day. Allen Roland reminded us this week of the Battle of Britain, where he featured Canadian pilot John MaGee's famous poem High Flight. It joggled my memory of an early full multimedia piece I had done for VT in November of 2011, where I featured the famous war poets as an example of how multimedia could bring this old history back to life. The High Flight poem was part of elementary school education back in my day, and I can remember sitting in the class connecting with my first poem emotionally. I had put a good bit of work into this piece, going back to find a great photo of MaGee with his plane and the other great wordsmiths, and some fabulous videos featuring the early wartime photojournalists' work. This is one of my favorites, a classic VT piece now. I hope the new readers enjoy. This is a special treat for our Veterans Today readers. We live in troubled times with men at war in far away places, so that scourge continues to linger with us. For a change of pace, I thought we would feature some bards of the past today, to share their talents and also showing us their own stories. I think you will enjoy it as I had a lot of fun pulling it all together. Let's start with Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade and Kipling's The Last of the Light Brigade. We don't see much of this older war poetry, so I felt that a more modern multimedia presentation might help snag a new generation. Among all the blood and gore of war, we find a few oases from time to time. They help us rise above the ugliness and horror, or paper it over. One of our veteran treasures has always been our war poems and poets. But unfortunately it seems they are becoming less visible year after year, almost like a slow motion death sentence. This part of our military heritage is in danger of being lost to future generations, and some older ones, too, if never have any exposure to it. We have to make this 'cool' again. The old adage out of sight, out of mind, has lasted through the years because it is true. I fear these poetic time capsules may end up as the private enjoyment of professional researchers if something is not done to breath some new life into them. Veterans Today is a big web site with a wide variety of readers. We can afford to devote some space and attention to parts of our heritage that we see slipping through the cracks. So this poetry series, like the Weekend Concert,, is going to hunt down the gems to share with you. We will cover the well known classics, of course, like In Flanders Fields by John McCrae in 1915, and High Flight, by John McCrae in 1915, and High Flight, by John Gillespie, Jr, a nineteen year old WWII RCAF pilot who died shortly after writing his. Rather than just putting their work up I will dig around for you to pull some background material together on the people.
