THE MONEY CHANGERS: THE FEDERAL RESERVE, ROBBERY BY DECEIT

FEDERAL RESERVE, ROBBERY BY DECEIT

The Federal Reserve System is truly a shadow government that operates outside the legal jurisdictional, democratic and Constitutional parameter upon which America was founded. The citizenry of this nation should be up in arms and outraged that this cartel of twelve Central Banks (that function invisible without boundaries) which are privately owned with no federal United States affiliation attached. This illegal cartel has the authority (power) to determine national, and international currencies values and ultimately the entire world is under their pulse and dictates.

SIXTY YEARS OF BLOODSHED, TREACHERY AND TERROR

“It is understood that when a people are attacked and driven from their country, they have the right to engage the aggressor by any means necessary in order to regain their homeland. This can be considered a universally agreed upon constant similar to the right to self defense and a space cushion.”

Until Palestine has been restored, Palestinians have the right to use what weapons they may possess to drive the invader out.

SPOILED AMERICANS FAIL THE GREEN TEST

A recent National Geographic survey ranked the environmental impact of consumer habits and lifestyles in 14 countries.

The U.S. ranked last.

GUILTY OF BEING PALESTINIAN

Stretching her short arms above her head while balancing on a chair, 7-year-old Jumana Abu Jazar struggles to loop the picture wire around a rusty nail protruding from the wall. Shifting her weight, she spoke, her delicate voice amplified as it bounced off the wall.

“My mother died and I have no brothers and sisters,” she stated matter-of-factly, biting her lower lip and cocking her head to match the picture’s tilt. “My father is in jail, in an Israeli jail where he is forced to live in a dark cell.”

PRESIDENT BUSH SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR WAR CRIMES

Bush said, “I have never ordered torture.” Ordered or not, it is now clear from recent reports that Bush was well aware of, and approved plans for, the questioning of known and alleged al-Qaida prisoners being held by the CIA.

ILLEGAL, UNILATERAL, PREEMPTIVE MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAN: CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE SPEAKS OUT

As we mark five years of war in Iraq, I have become increasingly concerned that the President may possibly take unilateral, preemptive military action against Iran. During the last seven years, the Bush Administration has exercised unprecedented assertions of Executive Branch power and shown an unparalleled aversion to the checks and balances put in place by the Constitution's framers. The letter that follows asks President Bush to seek congressional authorization before launching any possible military strike against Iran and affirms Senator Biden's statement last year that impeachment proceedings should be considered if the President fails to do so.

JUDGE BACKS US CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR

A native of Portland, Oregon, Barnes, 26, said he enlisted in the Army for five years in March 2005 with the idealistic goal of "defending freedom and helping other people in countries no one else would help".

That same year, however, while training for deployment to Iraq as part of the 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team at Fort Richardson, he grew increasingly troubled by the tales he heard from soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, Barnes noted in a statement he filed with his application.

"These stories included making the locals [do] degrading things so they could laugh at them, abusing the kids and taking others lives with ease.

IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WARS BY THE NUMBERS

1,668,000 service members deployed to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, about one-half of one percent of the 300 million U.S. population.

Nearly 100 percent involved in combat for more than six years in Afghanistan and more than five years in Iraq.

600,000 estimated casualties from both wars so far, where only half sought medical care, according to a new RAND study limited to brain damage, major depression, and post traumatic stress disorder.

500,000 deployed twice or more into combat – which increases risk of post traumatic stress disorder by 50 percent. 300,000 treated at VA hospitals after their return home – and VA still lacks a plan to handle the flood of casualties so that veterans are not turned away.

288,000 filed disability claims against VA for military-related medical problems, and again VA has no plan to process these claims accurately or quickly.

58,300 forced to remain in war under stop loss – military orders that force a soldier to remain in the military past the end of their enlistment contract. Many of these soldiers are on their second and third war deployment.

43,000 deployed combat after they were already declared unfit by a doctor – with broken legs, brain damage, and post traumatic stress disorder.

120 veterans complete a suicide every week. And 1,000 attempt suicide while under VA care each month. This is VCS in action, working hard to ensure that America does not forget about the sacrifices of our servie members, veterans, and families make.

IRAQ WAR 'WINTER SOLDIERS' SPEAK TO CONGRESS

NOT-SO-SAFE-DEPOSIT BOXES: STATES SEIZE CITIZENS' PROPERTY TO BALANCE THEIR BUDGETS

The 50 U.S. states are holding more than $32 billion worth of unclaimed property that they're supposed to safeguard for their citizens.

How about that; some of the same people that caused this financial mess are supporting Obama -- and no, it's not because they're interested in change but, rather, because they feel he'll do a good job at the continuing destruction of our country. Wonder why you don't see these criminals supporting Paul? Must have something to do with his desire to return to a smaller, limited government, abolish the IRS and dump the banking cartel that has enslaved us all. -- ZDN

EURO 2008 ATTACK HYPE MAY BE VEILED NEO-CON THREAT

Brushing aside the media's ludicrous and transitory stupidity of accepting an anonymous Internet posting at face value and immediately broadcasting it as gospel, the contention that global terrorists' enemy number one is the tranquil haven of Switzerland, a country that has not been to war since 1515, is beyond belief. However, the real reason behind the Swiss being threatened may have more to do with recent geopolitical developments than anything else.

Since we know that Al-Qaeda is merely a front group for American and Israeli intelligence agencies, its controllers may well be using the terror group as a smokescreen to send a veiled threat.

ACLU OBTAINS NEW DEFENSE DEPARTMENT DOCS ON PRISON DEATHS IN IRAQ

Through a Freedom of Information Act request, the ACLU "has obtained previously withheld documents" from the Defense Department that "shed light on the deaths of detainees in Iraq."

MARCH 12, 2002: STRUCTURAL ENGINEER CRITICIZES DECISION TO DESTROY WTC STEEL

“When there is a car accident and two people are killed, you keep the car until the trial is over. If a plane crashes, not only do you keep the plane, but you assemble all the pieces, take it to a hangar, and put it together. That’s only for 200, 300 people, when they die. In this case you had 3,000 people dead.” He says: “My wish was that we had spent whatever it takes, maybe $50 million, $100 million, and maybe two years, get all this steel, carry it to a lot. Instead of recycling it, put it horizontally, and assemble it. You have maybe 200 engineers, not just myself running around trying to figure out what’s going on. After all, this is a crime scene and you have to figure out exactly what happened for this crime, and learn from it.”
