Obama: The Curse of American Presidents

The scar on the head of President Barack Obama, which extends from the top of his head to the right ear has generated many rumors. Bloggers from the US have their own version- he has been "zombied" by aliens, or the Masons conducted surgery on his brain. While bloggers continue to build a conspiracy theory, here are some indisputable facts: In 1840 William Henry Harrison was elected as US president, but died before the end of his term of office. In 1860 Abraham Lincoln became president, but was later assassinated. Heads of the White House elected in 1880 (James Garfield, 1900 William McKinley, and 1920 Warren G. Harding, also died for various reasons before the end of their terms. This phenomenon was studied in 1940, after the death of Warren G. Harding. In 1927, it appeared in one of the books on numerology. Then it was noticed that there is a sequence of the "fourth president": From Harrison, every fourth president died before the end of his term of office. These were: Zachary Taylor, elected in 1848, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. The length of their terms did NOT matter: Numerology 'experts' have warned that this sequence may continue!

James Petras:Imperialism-Bankers, Drug Wars and Genocide

In May 2011, Mexican investigators uncovered another mass clandestine grave with dozens of mutilated corpses, bringing the total number of victims to 40,000 killed since 2006, when the Calderon regime announced its "war on drug traffickers". Backed by advisers, agents and arms, the White House has been the principal promoter of a war that has totally decimated Mexico's society and economy. If Washington has been the driving force for the regime's war, Wall Street banks have been the main instruments ensuring the profits of the drug cartels. Every major US bank has been deeply involved in laundering hundreds of billions of dollars in drug profits for the better part of the past decade. Mexico's descent into this inferno has been engineered by the leading US financial and political institutions, each supporting one side or the other in the bloody "total war" which spares no one, no place, and no moment in time. While the Pentagon arms the Mexican government and the US Drug Enforcement Agency enforces the "military solution", the biggest US banks receive, launder and transfer hundreds of billions of dollars to the drug lords' accounts, who then buy modern arms, pay private armies of assassins and corrupt untold numbers of political and law enforcement officials on both sides of the border.

President Obama Threatens Gaddafi: "You WILL inevitably Leave Power!

In what can only be interpreted as a vicious threat, Obama, speaking in an address on the Middle East, assured his cringing audience that NATO will intensify its week-long bombing of government targets, and joyfully announced that the USA has already sunk eight Libyan warships. Obama was speaking in an address on the Middle East, where a series of uprisings this year has supposedly inspired a three-month old revolt in Libya that was designed to overthrow Gaddafi. According to Obama, "time is working against Gaddafi. He does not have control over his country. The opposition, consisting mainly of alQaeda operatives, has organized a "legitimate and credible Interim Council, according to Obama. According to the Libyan government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim, "Obama is still delusional. He believes the lies that his own government and media spread around the world. It's NOT Obama who decides whether Muammar Gaddafi leaves Libya or not. It's the Libyan people." NATO bombs struck Tripoli, Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte and Zlitan east of the capital, state TV said late on Thursday. Al-queda rebels control eastern Libya and pockets in the west, but the conflict has now reached a stalemate, as Al-queda rebels attempt to advance.

Michel Chossudovsky: Was Dominique Strauss-Kahn Framed?

The arrest of IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has all the appearances of a frame-up, ordered by powerful members of the financial establishment, in liaison with France's Nicolas Sarkozy, whose presidency has served the interests of the US at the expense of France and the European Union. While there is for the moment no proof of a plot, the unusual circumstances of his arrest and imprisonment require careful examination. Immediately following Strauss Kahn's arrest, pressures were exerted by Washington to speed up his replacement as Managing Director of the IMF, preferably by a non-European, an American or a hand-picked candidate from an "emerging market economy", or a developing country. Since the founding of the Bretton Woods institutions in 1945, the World Bank has been headed by an American whereas the IMF has been of a Western European. Strauss-Kahn is a member of elite groups who meet behind closed doors. He belongs to the Bilderberger. Categorized as one of the world's most influential persons, he is an academic and politician rather than a banker. In contrast to his predecessors at the IMF, which challenged America's overriding role within that organization.

Eustace Mullins: The Banking Cartel is the Cause of Humanity's Woes!

Thomas Jefferson said: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. In November 1949, Eustace Mullins, then 25, was a researcher in Washington DC, when friends invited him to visit the famous American poet Ezra Pound, who was confined at St. Elizabet's Mental Hospital and listed as a "political prisoner". A leading figure in Modern English literature, Pound was the editor and critic who introduced the world to James Joyce, W.B. Yeats and TS Eliot. During the Second World War, he was charged with treason for broadcasts on Rome Radio that questioned the motives behind America's involvement. Pound commissioned Mullins to examine the influence of the banking establishment on US policy. Mullins spent every morning for two years in the Library of Congress and met with Pound every afternoon. The resulting manuscript, "The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" proved too hot for any American publisher to handle. Nineteen rejected it. One said, "you'll never get this published in New York". When it finally appeared in Germany in 1955, the US Military Government confiscated all 10,000 copies and burned them, but now this book is freely available on line at http://www.apfn.org/apfn/reserve.htm

Paul Joseph Watson: President Obama's Rumors of Bin Laden's Death have been greatly exaggerated!

Don't believe Obama's Hoax by President Obama, "announcing the death of Osama Bin Laden". In other words, our president was just 'crapping us negative'. Now, there is a deluge of evidence that clearly indicates the whole episode has been manufactured for political gain, and to return Americans to a state of post-9/11 "intellectual castration", so that they can be easily manipulated in the run up to the 2012 election. Here are the ten facts which prove that the Bin Laden fable is a contrived hoax. 1) Before Sunday's "raid", every intelligence analyst, geopolitical commentator, or head of state worth his salt was on record as stating that Osama Bin Laden was already dead, and that he probably died many years ago. 2) The 'official' narrative about the details of that raid completely collapsed within days of its announcement. 3) The 'alleged' body of Bin Laden was hastily dumped in the sea to prevent any proper procedure of identification. 4) CIA Director Leon Panetta said that Obama could not have seen the raid, because the 'live feed' was cut off before the Navy Seals entered the compound. 5) A notorious Pentagon propaganda front, run by the daughter of an Israeli spy, who has been caught on numerous occasions releasing cartoon -like videos on demand. 6) Almost every single neighbor who lived near the 'alleged' Bin Laden compound said with certainty that they had never seen bin Laden, and that they knew of no evidence to suggest he lived there.

Marjorie Cohn: Protecting the People of Libya and the Ivory Coast.

The United States, France and Britain had invaded Libya with cruise missiles, stealth bombers, fighter and attack jets. In addition, US President Barack Obama has been bombing Libya with Hellfire missiles from unmanned Predator drones. The UN Charter does NOT permit the use of military force for "humanitarian interventions". The military invasions of Libya and the Ivory Coast have been illegally "justified" by reference to the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine. This unwarranted intrusion into the rights of Libya is NOT enshrined in an international treaty, nor has it ripened into a norm of customary international law. Paragraph 138 of that document says "each individual state has the responsibility to protect its populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. Paragraph 139 adds that the International Community, through the United Nations, also has the responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian, and other 'peaceful' means, in accordance with Chapters VI and VII of the Charter, to help protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. It looks as though the shyster lawyers in our Obama Administration turned the entire meaning of "protect" around!
