Shalit: I Was Told a Week Ago I Will Be Free-Gilad Shalit told Egyptian media he was told a week ago he would be freed. I was happy to hear it, but I was suspicious, he said.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/18/2011, 11:25 AM
Gilad Shalit told Egyptian media he was told a week ago he would be freed. I was happy to hear it, but I was suspicious, he said. I waited years, but I believed I would find myself free.He said the first thing he wants to do when he gets home is to be with my family and meet my friends and speak with them. I want to tell people about my experience.Despite his having been in captivity without communication with the outside world for more than five years, Egyptian media asked him difficult and loaded questions.Asked if the captivity and release gave him a stronger will, Shalit answered, A deal could have been arranged sooner.Questioned whether he will help campaign for the release of 4,000 more Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israeli jails, Shalit reפlied:I will be happy if they will be freed and return to their homes if they do not return to terror.He expressed the hope that Israel’s freeing of 1,027 terrorists and security prisoners will help it make peace with the Palestinian Authority.IDF doctors examined Shalit before his return home, and he was confirmed to be in good and stable health.
Netanyahu is at Tel Nof Air Base-Gilad Shalit will be driven through the Kerem Shalom Crossing and taken to Tel Nof where he will meet his family.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 10/18/2011, 11:58 AM
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu arrived Tuesday morning at the Tel Nof Air Base near Rehovot.Netanyahu entered the room in which the Shalit family is waiting for its son and told the family: I am glad that we made it to this day. In a short time, Gilad will return to you.The prime minister told the family members that the process of returning Shalit was going forward without a hitch so far. At about 10:00 a.m. Netanyahu was reportedly in the situation room, along with Defense Minister Ehud Barak and the IDF Chief of Staff.Gilad Shalit will be driven through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, close to where he was abducted 5.5 years ago, and taken to Tel Nof, where he will meet his family.
EU to celebrate Shalit swap despite concerns
Today OCT 18,11 @ 08:04 By Andrew Rettman
The EU is set to cheer the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, expected on Tuesday (19 October), despite concerns it could pave the way for military strikes on Hamas and Iran.Hamas poster. The 25-year-old is to be reunited with his family after five years and four months of complete isolation (Photo: Tom Spender)According to plans negotiated by Egyptian, German and Israeli intelligence, Shalit, who was captured by Palestinian militant group Hamas five years ago, will be handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza before noon local time.The NGO will take him via the Rafah crossing point to a secure area in Egypt's Sinai peninsula for 15 to 20 minutes and then to Israel via the Kerem Shalom point. Israel will at each stage of the process release tranches of 477 Palestinian prisoners. A second set of 550 prisoners is to be freed in December.The deal was finalised by Egyptian security chief Murad Muwafi and the new head of Israeli military intelligence Yoram Cohen. But the blueprint for the handover was drawn up by Gerhard Conrad, currently the chief of staff in the German intelligence service, the BND.BND spokesman Dieter Arndt told EUobserver Conrad worked on the plan for the past two and a half years. Almost the whole draft of the contract was done by Conrad. It was a long term involvement, but the final glory belongs to Egypt alone, he said.Arndt noted that Conrad took off his BND hat for the work before returning to the service: It was a personal thing. He was not acting on behalf of the federal government of Germany or the BND, but on behalf of all sides, Israel and Hamas, for the whole time the negotiations were going on. EU governments are banned from negotiating with Hamas because it is on the union's blacklist of terrorist entities.
The EU last week endorsed the deal on humanitarian grounds. I warmly welcome the news that Gilad Shalit will soon be able to return home after five years of captivity, putting an end to the long ordeal that he and his family have endured, foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton said.An EU diplomat earlier told this website Shalit's release could help with EU endorsement of Palestine's bid to upgrade its UN status and reopen the question of delisiting Hamas from the terrorist register.But despite the atmosphere of good will, some commentators believe the Shalit swap spells trouble for the region.Speaking as someone who has been involved in these things [Israel-Hamas prisoner swaps] in the past, I don't think we are moving toward any kind of reconciliation between Israel and Hamas. What usually happens afterwards is that the Israeli government gives Hamas a whack to show that it's still strong. If I was Hamas, I wouldn't leave any of my top leaders out in the open after this, one former EU diplomat said.For his part, Israeli journalist Alex Fishman, reputed to have close ties to Israeli security chiefs, in an op-ed last week said the Shalit deal is designed to clear the desk of the Israeli government for a strike against Iran's alleged nuclear bomb facilities. The Europeans will be applauding us, and no less importantly it will boost the national consensus and the prime minister's image ahead of the next challenge [Iran],he wrote.Some recent developments on the international stage support Fishman's line.US President Barack Obama at the UN general assembly in September gave Israel carte blanche for action against security threats. The US and the EU have upped anti-Iran rhetoric by accusing it of helping Syria to kill protesters and by exposing an alleged plot to assassinate a Saudi diplomat in Washington. They have also backed the rebellion against Syrian leader Bashar Assad, Iran's main ally.Alon Ben-David, a senior Israeli defence journalist, cast doubt on the Shalit-Iran link, however.He said the US and the EU are planning to impose a new round of sanctions on Iran. If these do not stop Tehran's nuclear programme, the next opportunity for military action will come only when the weather improves in spring next year. Iran is an extremely serious issue. Whether Israel launches an operation against Iran has nothing to do with Shalit,he told EUobserver.Ben-David agreed that Israel is likely to strike Hamas after the Shalit swap to show who is boss. But he noted the new Egypt-Hamas-Israel mechanism bodes well: I don't think this will be used for anything political. But all parties have developed more trust. We have a new mechanism for negotiating humanitarian issues if there is a military clash.
Arabs Riot as Terrorists Are Freed-Hundreds of Palestinian Authority Arabs throw rocks at Israeli soldiers as terrorists are freed at a checkpoint. The IDF fired smoke bombs.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/18/2011, 11:59 AM
Hundreds of Palestinian Authority Arabs threw rocks at Israeli soldiers as terrorists were freed at the Betunia checkpoint. The IDF fired stun grenades, tear gas and smoke bombs to disperse the rioters.Most of the rioters carried Hamas and Islamic Jihad banners and arrived at the checkpoint to welcome approximately 100 terrorists and security prisoners who were among those being allowed to return to their homes in Judea and Samaria.The IDF did not anticipate a riot, and soldiers fired a heavy barrage of riot-dispersing weapons. At least one person was wounded.
Israel pardoned and freed 477 terrorists and prisoners early Tuesday in the first phase of the deal in which a total of 1,027 will be released as Gilad Shalit returned home after more than five years in captivity.Of the 477 terrorists released Tuesday, 132 are being allowed to return to Gaza, but one of them, Amna Muna, decided to remain in Egypt after her release rather than face likely revenge in Gaza for her brutal treatment of fellow inmates.Forty terrorists will be deported outside of Israel.

UPDATE 1-Merkel says EU summit will set Greece plan-sources Tue Oct 18, 2011 11:10am EDT
* Merkel tells her party EU leaders will produce work plan
* Permanent troika mission an option
Oct 18 (Reuters) - Germany's Angela Merkel expects European leaders to produce a work plan for Greece at a summit on Sunday, possibly including a permanent mission of international lenders to monitor its debts, sources from her party quoted her as saying on Tuesday.Euro zone leaders meet on Oct. 23 to discuss further aid for Greece, with countries such as Germany and the Netherlands frustrated by Athens' lack of progress on privatisation and other reforms. Tighter controls are high on the agenda.Merkel told her Christian Democrats (CDU) the summit should find ways to ensure the euro zone rescue fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, is used effectively, but that leveraging it via the European Central Bank had been ruled out, party sources said.CDU sources present at a meeting with the Chancellor said she expected the summit to agree on sending countries that flout EU budget deficit rules to court, a move which could satisfy banks which have urged European policy makers to toughen their stance.Markets rallied last week on high hopes for the summit but Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble on Monday tempered expectations for the summit saying it would not produce a miracle cure.The euro fell for a second day against the dollar on Tuesday, pressured by weak German investor sentiment data, a warning on France's triple-A credit rating and fading hopes of a comprehensive solution to the debt crisis.
Schaeuble also said European governments would adopt a five-point strategy expected to include a plan to recapitalise banks and reduce Greece's debt mountain by asking private creditors to accept steeper writedowns than the 21 percent losses agreed last July.The head of the Institute of International Finance bank lobby group held a meeting on Monday with Herman Van Rompuy, the EU official who organises summit meetings, to discuss bank recapitalisation and haircuts on Greek debt, an EU diplomat said on Tuesday.Greece's overall debt is forecast to climb to 357 billion euros ($490 billion) this year, or 162 percent of annual economic output -- a level economists agree is unsustainable.To reduce this mountain, euro zone leaders are racing to convince banks to accept voluntary writedowns of up to 50 percent on their sovereign holdings. At the same time, they are trying to agree on a blueprint for recapitalising financial institutions at risk from the deepening crisis.
October 17, 2011, 1:31 PM ET The Summit Expectations Game By Laurence Norman
The euro zone provided a classic example Monday of why it has tasked European Council President Herman Van Rompuy with drawing up new rules for crisis-management communication.As the countdown to this weekend’s EU and euro-zone summits starts, senior European officials pulled markets back and forth with divergent views of what to expect from the upcoming meetings.French finance minister Francois Baroin set the tone, promising decisive results from this week’s meetings.We are acting resolutely to maintain financial stability,he said.Jose Manuel Barroso, the head of the European Commission and the long standing champion of expectations overreach echoed Mr. Baroin’s comments. He told reporters earlier Monday that the European Council of this weekend will be critically important.Enter the Germans. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s adviser, Steffen Seibert, said a package of measures would be agreed.
Nevertheless, the chancellor reminds [everyone] that the dreams that are emerging again, that on Monday everything will be resolved and everything will be over will again not be fulfilled, Mr. Seibert said.What has been achieved so far, Mr. Seibert said, in remarks that sent global stocks falling, are important steps on a long journey, a journey that will certainly continue well into next year.How to explain these irreconcilable messages? There can only be one explanation. For better or worse, there’s not one game being played but several with different goals.The expectations game after all is simple. You win by telling people to be disappointed and surprising them with what you achieve. Do the opposite and you lose. By this definition, there’s only one true player of the expectations game: Germany.Several EU diplomats detect a pattern. Ahead of the July 21 summit and again, before the key euro meetings in March, Berlin tempered expectations, stifled talk of a turning point and downplayed hopes of a breakthrough. The aim of the game: keep markets in check.The German way to play this game is to come up with a line similar to today’s about a week before a summit. I do see a pattern there, said an EU diplomat. Tempering expectations also plays well at home, soothing pre-summit fears among party loyalists that she’s about to bind Germany into yet more big financial commitments.For Mr. Barroso, the goal is different. His tendency to big up events is not just the mark of an ebullient soul or proof of tactical ineptitude. Mr. Barroso’s task is to convince a different audience–European parliamentarians, Europe’s remaining federalists and the EU bureaucracy – that he’s standing up for them, that the community voice matters and that selfish member state interests are not being left unchallenged to dictate the region’s future.
What of France? Surely it must see that setting the bar too high can only further erode the crumbling credibility European leaders lay claim to.Yet France’s interest lies not in tempering market views but using them to pressure German leaders to shed their perennial cautious calculation.French diplomats never tire of saying that if the Euro zone had done 18 months ago everything they have done since then, there would be no crisis.What better to force Berlin’s hand than the threat of a vicious market reaction if euro-zone leaders don’t make big fiscal, political and economic commitments over the next seven days, one EU diplomat said.There’s probably an added motivation for France. If the summit fails, their pre-summit rhetoric will work beautifully in dictating the post-play blame game: Berlin will clearly be the one who failed to deliver.A dangerous game? Perhaps. But as one EU diplomat said, We are in a dangerous situation.
Markets plunge as Germany dampens EU summit expectations Today OCT 18,11 @ 09:24 By Valentina Pop
Brussels - Stocks and the euro plunged on Monday (17 October) after German officials dampened expectations for a comprehensive solution to the sovereign debt crisis at an upcoming EU summit.German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble said EU leaders will adopt a five-point plan at the Sunday meeting, but we won't have a definitive solution this weekend.Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert also stressed that his boss reminds [everyone] that the dreams which are emerging again, that on Monday everything will be resolved and everything will be over, will again not be fulfilled.In Seibert's words, the outcome of the Sunday summit will be important steps on a long journey, a journey that will certainly continue well into next year.Reacting to the news, US shares registered their steepest drop in two weeks and the euro went down 0.8 percent compared to the US dollar. Markets had hoped for a final deal setting out the conditions for a partial Greek default and giving the eurozone bailout fund a green light to stem contagion to Italy and Spain, as well as allowing for a quick recapitalisation of Greece-exposed European banks.
Expectations had been reinforced at a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors from the world's most industrialised 20 nations last weekend. Coming out of the meeting, Germany and France said they had agreed on the broad outlines of a package.Leaders of EU institutions have also been raising expectations of a bigger deal on Sunday. The organiser of the summit, EU Council chief Herman Van Rompuy, said he is working with the EU commission on a comprehensive package to create more confidence in the financial sector and in the sovereign bonds of countries under pressure.Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said the summit will be critically important, floating the idea of introducing criminal liability for irresponsible banking behaviour so as to avoid financial institutions of repeating the same mistakes again.And speaking to the EUobserver on Monday, European Parliament chief Jerzy Buzek said: I am confident the European Council will approve a package on Sunday enabling us to contain the crisis and avoid recession.Responding to criticism that the parliament is proceeding too slowly in passing laws designed to prevent the same mistakes from happening again, Buzek said that he is pushing for fast-track procedures, but noted that there should be time for democracy.Meanwhile, the head of the eurozone bail-out fund, Klaus Regling, ruled out that the fund would be allowed to act like a bank, Handelsblatt reports. Regling confirmed that the idea had been discussed a few weeks ago, but was now off the table, due to opposition from Germany and the EU commission.
Trichet: EU treaty change needed to impose decisions on states 17.10.11 @ 09:27 By Leigh Phillips
The outgoing head of the European Central Bank (ECB) has called for a change to the European Union treaty to allow for the outside imposition of economic policy on a member state.ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet told French broadcasters on Sunday (16 October) following a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Paris that such a step is necessary in the wake of the eurozone crisis to guard against any one member state endangering the single currency area.It is necessary to change the treaty to prevent one member state from straying and creating problems for all the others, he said.To do this, one even needs to be able to impose decisions.Trichet, who will soon be leaving the central bank after eight years at the top of the organisation, said that in the absence of a federal state, such external supervision is required.
We don't have a federal budget, we don't have a political federation so we have to fully respect the constraints and the mutual supervision rules that exist in the euro zone, he said.Ministers at the G20 meeting of national economy chiefs from the world's leading economic powers issued a joint statement expressing hope that an EU summit dedicated to the crisis next weekend (23 October) will draw a line under the eurozone's problems, saying they expect the bloc to decisively address the current challenges through a comprehensive plan.The summit - split into two parts between the wider EU bloc as a whole and the smaller 17 nations of the euro area - is to unveil a package of measures including a recapitalisation of Europe's banks, an expansion of the eurozone's rescue mechanisms to convince markets Spain and Italy are safe from contagion and a significant write-down of Greek public debt.France and Germany, for some weeks now at loggerheads over the scale of such a Greek haircut for investors, appear to be closing in on a common position.We have points of agreement that are emerging and we'll have an agreement on this question, French finance chief François Baroin said following the G20 meeting. Heads of state and government, in particular the chancellor and the president to put together the elements of the agreement on 23 October.After months of strong criticism from across the Atlantic, Washington gave its imprimatur to the progress European powers are making in developing a comprehensive plan to put the crisis behind them.They clearly have more work to do on the strategy and the details, but when France and Germany agree on a plan together and decide to act, big things are possible,US treasury secretary Geithner said.I am encouraged by the speed and direction in which they are moving.
Changing tack on austerity would be irresponsible, say EU presidents 17.10.11 @ 18:51 By Leigh Phillips
The EU presidents have declared their sympathies for the widening anti-austerity movement of indignados but said turning away from austerity would be irresponsible.EU Council chief Herman van Rompuy told reporters on Monday:We understand that the measures are not popular, but they are in some ways indispensable to safeguard the future.He said that austerity should be implemented without creating new poverty and with fair and just distribution of efforts.However, if such structural changes to European economies did not take place, the EU would lose out against more competitive regions in the world.But in any case, we have to adjust our policies and in some ways, austerity is needed to restore fundamental equilibriums in the economy, he said.The concerns of young people are totally legitimate, he continued.But our responsibility is to go through this unpopular period to safeguard stability.On Saturday, dozens of protests across the continent inspired by the Arab Spring and Spain’s indignados, or indignant ones movement filled the streets and public squares of the continent’s major cities.Demonstrations ranged from four to five thousand in Berlin and Frankfurt to the hundreds of thousands in Barcelona and Rome, with riots breaking out in the Italian capital.In an expression of the level of anger directed no longer just at national political and economic elites but at the European institutions, young people - the first generation to have always known a single market and who were still in elementary school when the euro was introduced: the Erasmus Generation - in Italy, historically one of the most solidly pro-European states, were seen burning the EU flag.
The commission president was even more forthcoming with his sympathies for the protestors, but he too said there was no other way.I very much understand the frustration and indignation of many people in our society ... To a large extent this is a global movement, he said, attacking the criminal behaviour in the financial sector.In an effort to show that the EU executive’s emphasis extends beyond recommending cuts to social programmes and the lowering of wages, he stressed that Brussels will this week propose new pan-European legislation going after criminal market abuse.We have nothing against the financial sector. At the same time, it has to be understood that they have to reflect a minimum of ethical standards, which has not been seen recently, he continued.The proposal appears to be a direct reaction to citizens at Europe’s austerity doctrine and the banking sector, as he said it will show our people that we’ve got the message.However, the former conservative Portuguese prime minister and one-time Maoist in his youth, said what the demonstrators are proposing is irresponsible.Indignation alone is not a solution, he added. It would be irresponsible not to go forward with fiscal consolidation in the member states.
Social fabric being torn apart
EU Council President Herman van Rompuy and commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso issued their declarations following a frosty annual summit between the major European employers’ associations, representatives of the continents’ workers and the EU Council and Commission presidents.The new president of the European Trades Union Council, frenchwoman Bernadette Segol, struck a combative stance, warning that the EU’s current doctrine could get out of hand, bringing recession, depression and blamed the banks rather than public overspending for the crisis.She said the financial sector had made profits since the last crisis, but instead of investing this ... they have spent it on shareholders and bonuses. This must stop. It is unacceptable.The union leader said her organisation recognises the need for balanced state budgets but that this should be implemented over a longer period of time and that the current strategy it is not working in Greece and in fact is causing problems in the social fabric of the country.We see attacks on collective bargaining, she told reporters. The [EU-ECB-IMF] troika has demanded that Greece to suppress national collective agreements. We see demands to put at negotiations at the lowest level possible, initiatives in Hungary to suppress union rights. This is not the way to construct a social dialogue.The unions would instead prefer to see an EU and state-directed programme of massive public stimulus via green technology and energy infrastructure to jump-start the economy at a time of reluctance on the part of the private sector to commit to new investment.
Instead, austerity is often used as an excuse to liberalise everything and to undo negotiating structures, she said.The basic structures of social relations are under attack.She also warned the leaders against taking undemocratic decisions: Democracy is a very important part of the European Union project ... When we see currently heads of state just acting between themselves and taking decisions, this is not exactly the way we would like to see things implemented at the EU.If this is not done [in a democratic way], citizens will not support the European project.The employers’ association, Business Europe, for its part, felt it necessary to remind the trade unions that both sides had signed a joint declaration earlier in the year on the need for a growth strategy.We are in favour of strong social dialogue. But we must discuss the real issues: How we can manage change, said Philip de Buck, the head of the boss’s association, stressing the need for flexicurity, an easing of job protections in return for a stronger social safety net while people look for new work.De Buck said that the real priority now is to put an end to the governance crisis and confidence crisis.He said employers are advocating further labour market liberalisation and reform of benefit systems as a response to the crisis, along with efforts to improve skills of the population in a way that matches the jobs needed filling in the private sector.

ROME (Reuters) – Demonstrators rallied Saturday across the world to accuse bankers and politicians of wrecking economies, but only in Rome did the global day of rage erupt into violence.Galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the protests began in New Zealand, rippled east to Europe and were expected to return to their starting point in New York. Demonstrations touched most European capitals and other cities.They coincided with the Group of 20 meeting in Paris, where finance ministers and central bankers from the major economies were holding crisis talks.While most rallies were small and barely held up traffic, the Rome event drew tens of thousands of people and snaked through the city center for kilometers (miles).Some protesters in masks and helmets set fire to cars, smashed the windows of stores and banks and trashed offices of the defense ministry. Police fired water cannon at demonstrators who were hurling rocks, bottles and fireworks.Smoke bombs set off by the protesters cast a pall over a sea of red flags and banners bearing slogans attacking economic policies the protesters say are hurting the poor most. The violence sent many demonstrators running into hotels for safety.
PEACEFUL RALLIES
In contrast, small and peaceful rallies got the ball rolling across the Asia-Pacific region Saturday. In Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest city, 3,000 people chanted and banged drums, denouncing corporate greed.About 200 gathered in the capital Wellington and 50 in a park in the earthquake-hit southern city of Christchurch.In Sydney, about 2,000 people, including representatives of Aboriginal groups, communists and trade unionists, protested outside the central Reserve Bank of Australia.Hundreds marched in Tokyo, including anti-nuclear protesters. In Manila a few dozen marched on the U.S. embassy waving banners reading: Down with U.S. imperialism and Philippines not for sale.More than 100 people gathered at the Taipei stock exchange, chanting we are Taiwan’s 99 percent, and saying economic growth had only benefited companies while middle-class salaries barely covered soaring housing, education and health care costs.They found support from a top businessman, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (TSMC) Chairman Morris Chang.I’ve been against the gap between rich and poor, Chang said in the northern city of Hsinchu.The wealth of the top one percent has increased very fast in the past 20 or 30 years. Occupy Wall Street is a reaction to that.In Paris protests coincided with the G20 finance chiefs’ meeting there. In the working class neighborhood of Belleville, drummers, trumpeters and a tuba revved up a crowd of a few hundred that began to march to the city hall.This is potentially the start of a strong movement, said Olivier Milleron, a doctor whose group of trumpeters played the classic American folk song This land is your land.Waitress Tiodhilde Fernagu, 26, took a day off work to attend. For the first time in France there is a uniquely citizens’ movement outside party politics, she said.
THE INDIGNANT ONES
The Rome protesters, who called themselves the indignant ones, included unemployed, students and pensioners.I am here to show support for those don’t have enough money to make it to the next paycheque while the ECB (European Central Bank) keeps feeding the banks and killing workers and families, said Danila Cucunia, a 43-year-old teacher from northern Italy.At the global level, we can’t carry on any more with public debt that wasn’t created by us but by thieving governments, corrupt banks and speculators who don’t give a damn about us, said Nicla Crippa, 49.They caused this international crisis and are still profiting from it. They should pay for it.In imitation of the occupation of Zuccotti Park near Wall Street in Manhattan, protesters have been camped out across the street from the headquarters of the Bank of Italy for days.The worldwide protests were a response in part to calls by the New York demonstrators for more people to join them. Their example has prompted calls for similar occupations in dozens of U.S. cities from Saturday. [nN1E79D02O]In Madrid, seven marches were planned to merge in Cibeles square at 1600 GMT and then head to the central Puerta de Sol.In Germany, where sympathy for southern Europe’s debt troubles is not widespread, thousands gathered in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig and outside the ECB in Frankfurt, called by the Real Democracy Now movement.
Demonstrators gathered peacefully in Paradeplatz, the main square in the Swiss financial center of Zurich.In London, several hundred people assembled outside London’s St Paul’s Cathedral for a protest dubbed Occupy the London Stock Exchange. Several hundred people protested in Vienna, Sweden and Helsinki.Greek protesters called an anti-austerity rally for Saturday in Athens’ Syntagma Square.What is happening (debt-driven financial meltdown) in Greece now is the nightmare awaiting other countries in the future. Solidarity is the people’s weapon, the Real Democracy group said.(Additional reporting by Catherine Hornby in Rome, Naomi O’Leary and Michael Holden, in London, Natalia Drozdiak in Berlin and Alexandria Sage in Paris; Writing by Andrew Roche; Editing by Mark Heinrich)
Marxist Matrix of Occupy Protesters, Obama & George Soros: The Devil’s Symphony? Author- Kelly O'Connell Sunday, October 16, 2011-CANADA FREE PRESS
Are the Occupy Protests really the inscrutable uprising the mainstream media claims? Or, are they instead the work of mad tycoon George Soros and his rent-a-puppet Barack? We can hardly be blamed to see a connect when we detect a connecting, central motif—Marxism. The Occupy Protests are presented as the organic polar opposite of the Tea Party protests, arising of their own impetus as logically as weeds erupting in an empty field. But the central Marxist anti-capitalist message of Occupy argue against this.Further, when listening to the very weird and cult-like call-and-answer which these groups use, one can only sense the underlying group-think structure driving these idealistic yet confused souls into action. The strange fixation on Marxism of George Soros and Obama, attaching them to Occupy’s anti-capitalist anarchism are the topics of this essay.
I. Outline of Marxism
A. Overview
A brief description of Marxism is offered here to help understand the ideas and actions of Soros, Obama and the Occupy movement. From another article by this author, a thumbnail of the belief:Marxists insist life merely concerns proper distribution of wealth. Only two classes matter: rich and poor. The poor are pure, but the rich devilish, since they effectively steal wealth through Capitalism. The government must redistribute money to the poor, since God doesn’t exist to protect mankind. Workers will eventually rise up to overthrow oppressive bosses.After capitalism collapses, comes then socialism, but only temporarily. Finally communism is established, and all private property abolished. Peace on earth will reign as envy and war disappear when all people have the same status in society. Marx’s Communist Manifesto states, The theory of the Communists may be summed up in a single sentence: Abolition of private property.
B. Presuming Economic Imbalance is a Criminal Act
As an atheistic system, Marxism focuses upon material gods as the chief end of life. Given the notion that all amassing of fortunes presume an act of theft against the poor, Marx taught that all justice resided in addressing this theft. Marx mentions this in Das Kapital:The accumulation of wealth at one pole of society involves a simultaneous accumulation of poverty, labor, torment, slavery, ignorance, brutalization, and moral degradation, at the opposite pole—where dwells the class that produces its own product in the form of capital.
C. Dedication to Revolution
The entire premise of Marxism is revolution is needed so necessary changes can be midwifed into society. In fact, a mystical premise of Marxism is revolution is fated to sweep away capitalism, and therefore cannot be resisted, according to P. H. Vigor, in A Guide To Marxism. Revolution is taught by Marxists as the initial, needed cure to a vast array of societal ills. It’s described by Marx as the abolition of antagonisms between rich and poor. Since there is no locus of traditional morality in Marxism, any precursor to revolution is acceptable, no matter how apparently objectionable.The prerequisite to communist revolution is advanced capitalism, a state which has never actually given birth to such a result. One of the truly fascinating aspects from the period of 20th century when Marxist revolutions were occurring across the globe was how these rebellions were often not uprisings of natives. Writes Robert Tucker in The Marxian Revolutionary Idea,The communist regimes of Mongolia, North Korea, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary, Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia did not come to power in basically indigenous revolutions. These communist revolutions were imposed from outside.
II. Protest Wall Street: Marxists as Fake Tea Partiers?
Protest Wall Street began as an idea put forward by adbusters.org, an anti-capitalist organization which was funded indirectly by George Soros. He hotly disputes the claim of funding, but admits he understands the protestors.Reuters reports on this connection:Soros has donated at least $3.5 million to an organization called the Tides Center in recent years, earmarking the funds for specific purposes. Tides has given grants to Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada whose inventive marketing campaign sparked the first demonstrations last month.According to the IRS, Soros’ Open Society gave grants of $3.5 million to Tides, a San Francisco-based group that acts like a clearing house for other donors, directing their contributions to liberal non-profit groups. Tides gave Adbusters grants of $185,000 from 2001-2010, including nearly $26,000 between 2007-2009.The Vancouver-based Adbusters publishes a magazine with a circulation of 120,000…It says it wants to change the way corporations wield power and its goal is to topple existing power structures.Adbusters is an anti-capitalist, anti-consumerist, pro-environmental movement. In other words, they are garden-variety Marxists. But what are the beliefs of the Occupy Wall Street protestors? This question is not difficult to answer. Their general conviction is capitalism has run amok, and they are generally Marxist. We know this because they are critics of capitalism and Wall Street. Further, their demand for wealth redistribution is a sure giveaway that their motivations are socialistic.A typical demand of the mostly student protestors is for government crack down on corporations and the rich, and force them to redistribute wealth, for things like paying off student loans of the protestors.In contrast (or not—depending upon the reader’s views), according to Michelle Malkin, the first Tea Party protest occurred in Seattle against Congress’ bank bailout, organized by Keli Carender, from her Liberty Belle blog. About 100 people showed up.
III. Obama & Democrat Support of Occupy Protests—An Anti-Tea Party
An absurd irony of Barack’s support of the Occupy Protesters is that he, more than any other mortal, is responsible for their currently impoverished state. And when such leftist leading lights as Nancy Toxic Melon Pelosi, Harry Reid, Michael Moore, and George Soros add their approval, one realizes that this spontaneous movement is anything but self-generating.Democrats exult at their own Tea Party, in all its grubby grandeur. The DNC touts the inherent democratic element of the movement. Natural born rebel Barack undoubtedly feels a bred-in-the-bone kinship with the anti-capitalist malcontents.That malignant shrew Pelosi would pour scorn upon the Tea Party as anti-democratic astroturf, then applaud repeatedly the Occupy protestors, revealing this group is truly leftist and undoubtedly as natural as bomb shelter Twinkies.
IV. Immoral World of Wannabe Global-Savior George Soros
The rogue insider-trader of Paris—billionaire Marxist financier George Soros—made a fortune by gambling against weakened currencies of troubled countries. In this sense, soporific Soros, more than any other public money man, harvested billions by leaching off capitalism.Interestingly enough, Soros admits to having a messiah complex which he is now wealthy enough to pursue with rank abandon. Joy Tiz writes in Soros: It’s Not Easy Being God
A passage in his book The Alchemy of Finance, published in 1987, distinguishes Soros from all other financiers, ever. I have always harboured an exaggerated view of my self-importance, he wrote. To put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes, or, even better, like Einstein. My sense of reality was strong enough to make me realise that these expectations were excessive, and I kept them hidden as a guilty secret. This was a source of considerable unhappiness through much of my adult life. As I made my way in the world, reality came close enough to my fantasy to allow me to admit my secret, at least to myself. Needless to say, I feel much happier as a result.
A. Youthful Jewish Soros as Nazi-Helper
Soros’ taste for money and hypocrisy developed young. George’s entrepreneurial spirit and do-anything-for-money moxie materialized as a young Hungarian Jew. During WWII, teenage Soros pretended to be Protestant to escape Nazis while helping confiscate the goods from Jews deported to concentration camps like Dachau and Auschwitz. In fact, amoral Soros admitted the following on the TV program 60 Minutes about his youthful exploits:
KROFT: You’re a Hungarian Jew…
SOROS: Mm-hmm.
KROFT: ...who escaped the Holocaust…
SOROS: Mm-hmm.
KROFT:...by—by posing as a Christian.
SOROS: Right.
KROFT: And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and—and anticipate events and when—when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a—a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that’s—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
SOROS: Not—not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t—you don’t see the connection. But it was—it created no—no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
SOROS: No.
B. Soros’ Bona Fide Marxism
In an eye-opening essay penned by Soros in the Atlantic Monthly, he essentially admitted to being a Marxist when he applied George Hegel’s description of history in an article titled The Capitalist Threat. He began the piece by stating,In The Philosophy of History, Hegel discerned a disturbing historical pattern—the crack and fall of civilizations owing to a morbid intensification of their own first principles. Although I have made a fortune in the financial markets, I now fear that the untrammeled intensification of laissez-faire capitalism and the spread of market values into all areas of life is endangering our open and democratic society. The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.Quoting Hegel is a typical leftist method of bringing Marx into the discussion without raising too many eyebrows. This is because virtually everything Marx wrote was borrowed from Hegel, as one author admits,Marx is often being seen as the successor of Hegel in practical life. His views are often called dialectical materialism, because he transforms Hegel’s dialectic into his materialist views on economics.Further, Soro’s conclusion of that first paragraph, where it claims that free-market, aka laissez-faire capitalism, is the biggest threat to a free society is a quintessential Marxist claim. In other words, the biggest threat to an open society is economic freedom.
C. George’s Marxism in Action
George Soros has described how he helped undermine the communist states in Eastern Europe, which he claimed was tremendous fun. Having had some success, Soros went on to create his Open Society Institute which ironically tries to limit freedoms around the world in the name of open society. The list of various groups that OSI funds is astounding, all of which are meant to tear down the legitimacy of various institutions in western countries—especially America. (a listing of these is attached to the end of this article from Discover the Networks). But Soros supposedly gives away half a billion dollars a year undermining capitalism and democracy.
D. Soros’ Marxist-Styled Capitalism
George Soros has repeatedly made huge fortunes from betting on currency futures. For example, he bet against the UK Pound when it lost 10% of its value. He made a billion pounds sterling off this maneuver. He has done the same thing repeatedly against various countries.In a sense, such money-making activities are quintessential Marxist dealings for several reasons. First, they do not create any capital by creating or distributing products—so he enriches no industrialists. Second, he makes his take off the currency itself, meaning all wealthy persons in the country will suffer loss. Third, such activities destabilize the country itself, making it easier for leftists to take over. Fourth, it increases his own fortune so he may use this to support revolution in other places.
E. George’s Five Steps to Bring Down a Country
Glen Beck, in his riveting and well-researched expose’ of Soros, lists five steps the crafty Hungarian has used to destabilize various countries:After country after country after country, we found that there are five steps to him gaining control. He does it over and over and over again. So, let’s see what the steps are and let’s see if he’s done any of them here.The first one is form a shadow government using humanitarian aid as cover. This is what he just said. It’s kind of funny. It’s kind of fun. The first step he said is subversive activities. OK? Step two: control the airwaves. Fund existing radio and TV outlets and take control over them or start your own outlets. Remember: take control of existing or start your own.Step three: destabilize the state, weaken the government and build an anti-government kind of feeling in this country. You exploit an economic crisis or take advantage of existing crisis—pressure from the top and the bottom. This will allow you to weaken the government and build anti- government public sentiment.Step four: you provoke an election crisis. You wait for an election. And during the election, you cry voter fraud.Step five: take power. You stage massive demonstrations, civil disobedience, sit-ins, general strike, you encourage activism. You promote voter fraud and tell followers what to do through your radio and television stations.
Conclusion
Marxism is the “freedom” that Soros, Obama and the Occupy protesters would like to deliver to America. But we must be aware and not naive when groups suddenly appear, realizing our times are the Age of Propaganda where precious few things are as they seem.The madly destructive Soros, like Thomas Kyd’s Personified Revenge, grows restless and vexed not seeing America laid waste in the gutter before his octogenarian heart gives out. Perhaps Kyd had a Soros-type in mind when he wrote:
The left hand path declining fearfully,Was ready downfall to the deepest hell,Where userers are chok’d with melting gold,And perjur’d wights scalded in boiling lead,And all foul sins with torments overwhelm’d.

Internal Revenue Service records indicate thatOSImade a September 2002 grant of$20,000to the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee. Stewart was the criminal-defense attorney who was later convicted for abetting her client, the blind sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, in terrorist activities connected with his Islamic Group.The Capital Research Center has published a list of additional organizations to which OSI has recently donated money, groups that according to CRC advocate higher taxes and more government spending, oppose social security reform, litigate against property rights, oppose the death penalty, oppose tough criminal incarceration policies, oppose Bush judicial nominees, and promote balkanizing racial agendas. These donees include the following:We Interrupt This Message portrays America as a nation rife with racism and economic injustice; seeks to radicalize minority youth; aims to help the disenfranchised and the marginalized to overcome negative media stereotypes; and encourages acts of rebellion against America’s alleged injustices, as evidenced by its characterization of the 1992 Los Angeles riots as a civil uprising.The Independent Media Institute publishes a number of regularly updated websites that offer news and opinion from a far left perspective; its Executive Director Don Hazen is a former publisher of Mother Jones magazine.The Community Rights Counsel provides legal assistance to state and local governments seeking to restrict individual property rights in the name of community interest.Equal Justice Works encourages young people to pursue careers as public interest lawyers—focusing on the areas of workers’ rights, birth control and abortion issues, consumers’ rights, disability issues, children’s rights, the death penalty, and prisoners’ rights—by funding student fellowships and helping students pay back their school loans.The Legal Action Center is a public interest law firm that litigates to force health-care insurers to provide coverage for people with histories of addiction to alcohol and drugs. It also opposes community efforts to block the placement of alcohol- and drug-treatment facilities in or near residential neighborhoods.
Population Services International promotes wider access to birth control and abortion services in more than 60 countries worldwide.The Western States Center aims to build a progressive movement for social, economic, racial and environmental justice in…eight Western states.The Esperanza Center strives to build a political movement drawing on women, people of color, lesbians and gay men, the working class and poor—groups it considers wounded by domination and inequality in American political life.The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy believes that wealthy Americans pay less than their fair share of taxes; it publishes op-eds and studies that urge states to raise taxes on higher income-earners.The Network for a Progressive Texas is a coalition of Texans who are committed toeconomic, social, and environmental justice ...engaging in collective action, and building power to affect progressive change.The Center for Law and Social Policy promotes government welfare entitlements under the heading of economic security;the Center’s Board of Directors includes attorney Peter Edelman, husband of Children’s Defense Fund President Marian Wright Edelman.The Center for Policy Alternatives is a progressive public policy and leadership development center serving state legislators, state policy organizations, and state grassroots leaders.The Economic Policy Institute opposes social security privatization and free trade agreements such as NAFTA; it was founded in 1986 by journalist Robert Kuttner, Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich, and economist Lester Thurow.The State Strategies Fund works to create a coalition of activists to support its agenda of campaign finance reform, progressive tax policy, and government-funded health care.DEMOS believes that America’s social and economic ills stem largely from the values of extreme laissez faire ideology that have deeply permeated our society, and from the fact that [w]e’ve been told that government is the problem, not the solution.
A strong supporter of anti-war and environmentalist organizations, OSI is a member of the Peace and Security Funders Group. It is also a member of the International Human Rights Funders Group, a network of more than six-dozen grant-makers dedicated to bankrolling leftistorganizations and causes.OSI endorsed a 2000 document called the Earth Charter, which blames capitalism for many of the world’s environmental, social, and economic problems. According to the Charter, the dominant patterns of production and consumption are causing environmental devastation, the depletion of resources, and a massive extinction of species.The benefits of development, adds the Charter, are not shared equitably and the gap between rich and poor is widening.In the vanguard of the U.S. drug decriminalization movement, OSI in 1994 pledged $4 million to fund the establishment of the Lindesmith Center, which supports the legalization of marijuana. In 2002 OSI gave $3 million to the Tides Foundation, earmarking the money for a group called Fund for Drug Policy Reform, which opposes the War on Drugs.OSI was a signatory to a November 1, 2001 document characterizing the 9/11 attacks as a legal matter to be addressed by criminal-justice procedures rather than military retribution.Suggesting that the hijackers were motivated chiefly by adesire to point out global injustices perpetrated by the United States, this document explained that similar future calamitiescould be averted only ifAmerica would finally begin to promote fundamental rights around the world.OSIendorsed the Civil Liberties Restoration Act (CLRA) of 2004, which was designed to roll back, in the name of protecting civil liberties,vital national-security policies that had been adopted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.Numerous OSI funding initiatives reflect the Institute’s view that the American criminal-justice system is infested with racism, and that incarceration is an inappropriate punishment for most lawbreakers. For example: (a) OSI has established a U.S. Justice Fund to diminish the role of prisons ...andto pave the way for the creation of a larger system of public health and social supports.(b) In a related measure,the Institute created an After Prison Initiative focusing on supporting the successful reentry of prisoners to their communities. (c) OSI helps finance the Sentencing Project, which claims that prison sentencing patterns are racially discriminatory, and advocates in favor of granting voting rights to convicted felons. (d) OSI funds the Southern Center for Human Rights, which recruits lawyers to represent death row inmates and aims to reduce America’s alleged over-reliance on incarceration. (e) The Institute supports Critical Resistance,a program that impugns the Prison Industrial Complex for fostering the delusion that caging and controlling people makes us safe.
A strong advocate of gun control, OSI funds the Network on Small Arms,which has lobbied the United Nationsto passa measure outlawingprivate gun ownership and effectively overturning the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment.OSI funded the multi-year United Nations Millennium Development Project—commissioned by the UN Secretary-General in 2002 to develop a concrete action plan for the world to…reverse the grinding poverty, hunger and disease affecting billions of people. In 2005 this Projectculminated in a recommendation for a massive wealth-redistribution, foreign-aid program whose provisions, if adopted, would impose more than $150 billion in annual costs on Americans.Each year, OSI sponsors a number of fellowships, among them, the Soros Justice Fellowship which is awarded to “outstanding individuals who will implement projects aimed at reforming the American criminal-justice system. Most notably, OSI seeks to end the over-reliance on incarceration and harsh punishment, and the lack of equal justice—especially for people of color and the poor. One of the more infamous recipients of this fellowship was the radical communist Linda Evans, a former member of the Weather Underground. In the 1970s, Evans and accomplice Susan Rosenberg took part in the deadly Brinks armored-car robbery in Nyack, New York, where two security guards and two police officers were shot, three of them fatally. Three years later, the women were finally apprehended. At the time, they had 740 pounds of explosives (which they admitted were earmarked for bombings) in their possession. Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in prison, Evans to 40 years. (She was later paroned by President Bill Clinton in January 2001.) According to FBI files, Evans, during a 1969 trip to Hanoi, was shown an anti-aircraft gun, cradled it in her arms, and said,[I wish] an American plane would fly over. Her OSI award was intended to aid her efforts to increase civic participation of former prisoners.On August 16, 2005, OSI (in collaboration with the Center for American Progress, the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union, AFSCME, and the United Steelworkers Union) launched a new organization called the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN). Led by Democratic activists David Sirota and Steve Doherty, PLAN’s mission is to seed state legislatures with prewritten model legislation reflectingleftist visions of justice.
Between 1998 and 2003, OSI received more than $30 million from U.S. government agencies. Various State Department documents indicate that OSI has been paid to run what the Department describes as democratization programs in a number of countries, including Uzbekistan, Burma, and regions of Central Asia.In an effort topresent itself in the most positive light to the American people,OSI uses the services of the public relations firm Fenton Communications.In October 2010, OSI announced that it was donating $1.8 million to National Public Radio, in order to enable NPR to add 100 journalists at its affiliate radio stations across the United States.
Corporate-Fascists Clamor for Iran War-Unelected corporate-funded policy makers constitute the greatest threat to US national security.Tony Cartalucci Infowars.com October 16, 2011
http://www.infowars.com/corporate-fascists-clamor-for-iran-war/
While US politicians grapple over the credibility of using the US DEA’s bomb plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador as a pretext to escalate tensions with Iran, America’s unelected, corporate-funded policy makers have already announced their long, foregone conclusion. The DEA’s entrapment case is decidedly to be used as a pretext for war with Iran.The Foreign Policy Institute (FPI), just one such unelected, corporate-funded think tank, has released two statements calling on President Obama to use force against Iran. FPI director William Kristol states:It’s long since been time for the United States to speak to this regime in the language it understands—force.And now we have an engraved invitation to do so. The plot to kill the Saudi ambassador was a lemon. Statesmanship involves turning lemons into lemonade.So we can stop talking. Instead, we can follow the rat lines in Iraq and Afghanistan back to their sources, and destroy them. We can strike at the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and weaken them. And we can hit the regime’s nuclear weapons program, and set it back.Likewise, FPI’s executive director Jamie Fly claims, in tandem with Kristol’s unqualified, corporate-funded opinion,It is time to take military action against the Iranian government elements that support terrorism and its nuclear program. More diplomacy is not an adequate response.Image: Just a sampling of Wall Street-London corporate-funded think tanks. Those that believe America’s policy is created within the offices of our elected legislatures will be sadly disappointed to know that it is in fact produced by these unelected, nebulous private institutions. Despite the different logos and rhetoric wielded by each of these institutions, they consist of the same members and same corporate-financier sponsors and merely specialize in executing different aspects of the corporate-financier agenda. For more information, please see Naming Names. (click on image to enlarge)
Ironically, Jamie Fly, who believes it is time to take military action against Iran for supporting terrorism, is a signatory of a letter imploring House Republicans to support the US war in Libya where NATO forces are literally handing an entire nation over to rebels led by the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, listed by both the US and British government as a foreign terrorist organization, and is confirmed to have fought and killed US and British troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It should also be noted, that fellow policy makers at the Brookings Institute proposed that the US arm, train, and even go as far as de-list as a terrorist organization, MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq), in covert efforts to wage war against Tehran. MEK is acknowledged by Brookings to not only be a bona fide terrorist organization, but also has American civilian and military blood on its hands.Image: Know your enemy. It is not turban-wearing cave dwellers that threaten America. It is unelected, corporate policy pimps like those found lurking within the halls of the Foreign Policy Initiative. They seek to mislead Americans into supporting an agenda that literally bleeds them to death while they and their corporate-financier sponsors continue to consolidate both wealth and power on a global scale. (click on image to enlarge).It is safe to say that Jamie Fly, William Kristol, and the rest of the policy wonks populating FPI and similar corporate-funded think tanks harbor less than genuine concerns regarding terrorism, – concerns which are voiced purely for public consumption.As reported previously, the official, though rarely spoken about policy toward Iran is one of purposefully provoking the regime into a war it desperately wants to avoid. The Brookings Institution, like FPI, is a corporate-funded think tank full of unelected policy makers who literally steer America’s destiny. In its report Which Path to Persia? it is clearly stated that not only does Iran want to avoid war, but any potential aspirations to acquire nuclear weapons are driven only by a desire to defend its sovereignty, not use unilaterally against its neighbors nor to proliferate such weapons into the hands of non-state actors.Despite this admission, the Brookings Institution claims that American extraterritorial ambitions across the Middle East cannot be impeded by strong, independent nation-states and spells out a criminal conspiracy to remove such impediments. Such tactic include funding terrorist organizations to wage a covert war against Tehran, funding opposition groups to rise up against the Iranian government, sanctions, and even provoking a war through covert means.
Masking this criminal conspiracy is a narrative repeated ad naseum by the corporate media, literally sponsored and steered by the same corporations and banks that fund the above mentioned think tanks. The American people are presented with a belligerent, irrational enemy, so entirely fictitious it challenges the archetypes produced by Hollywood. Should Americans know the truth about America’s real policy regarding Iran, war not only would not take place – those who have pushed so hard to shed American treasure and blood in Iran would be ferreted out as criminals and permanetnly removed from society.US foreign and domestic policy is not produced by our legislatures as we are meant to believe. John Kerry and John McCain don’t sit behind their desks twelve hours a day penning the 1,000 page policy papers they present to Congress to be rubber stamped. President Obama is not sitting in the Oval Office churning out reams of policy papers either. It is the unelected, corporate-funded policy think tanks and their army of policy makers, lawyers, scribes, and media personalities the produce, promote, and ram through an agenda that serves not the American people, but the corporate-financier interests that fund their work.
While many Americans scratch their heads at what appears to be a profound mystery – a Democratic president carrying the torch of a Neo-Conservative Republican’s global war, not only maintaining all previous wars, but expanding the battlefront – in reality this linear, continuous policy that is being executed piecemeal by both sides of the American political aisle is the direct result of these corporate-funded think tanks successfully commandeering both political parties.John Kerry and John McCain’s love for sending Americans to their deaths in foreign nations and spending American tax money to destabilize countries around the world is not an anomalous convergence of some political ideal, but rather the result of absolute, naked corporate fascism overrunning America’s political institutions and co-opting politicians of inferior human character. As in Nazi Germany, this unchecked power, not foreign enemies, presents the gravest risk to national security imaginable. Those that serve this system and fail to speak out against it, and worse yet, willingly collaborate with it, are America’s true enemies and a self-evident threat the American people can no longer afford to tolerate.
Vote out of office any and all public servants that promote extraterritorial meddling, including wars, funding foreign opposition movements, arming foreign militants, and funding foreign propaganda networks. Vote out of office all representatives that peddle 1,000 page pieces of legislation produced by corporate lawyers and their vast array of “think tanks.” And above all,identify and expose the actual corporate-financier interests driving this destructive agenda, then boycott and replace them. The vast influence and unwarranted power these corporate fascist monopoly men have garnered is a direct result of our apathy, ignorance, and decades of paying into their system with our money, time, energy, and attention.America is being brought to the precipice of a war neither the American nor the Iranian people want by a cartel of corporate-financier interests that admit the nation of Iran poses to threat to the United States. This is purely a war to enhance US hegemony in the Middle East, not protect the American people and our way of life at home. It is a war that the American people will pay for in both trillions of dollars in public funds, as well as the blood of our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen. It is up to the American people to end this cycle of parasitic exploitation before it ends America.
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

Wall Street protests go global; riots in Rome
By Reuters Saturday, October 15, 2011
ROME (Reuters) – Demonstrators rallied Saturday across the world to accuse bankers and politicians of wrecking economies, but only in Rome did the global day of rage erupt into violence.Galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the protests began in New Zealand, rippled east to Europe and were expected to return to their starting point in New York. Demonstrations touched most European capitals and other cities.They coincided with the Group of 20 meeting in Paris, where finance ministers and central bankers from the major economies were holding crisis talks.While most rallies were small and barely held up traffic, the Rome event drew tens of thousands of people and snaked through the city center for kilometers (miles).Some protesters in masks and helmets set fire to cars, smashed the windows of stores and banks and trashed offices of the defense ministry. Police fired water cannon at demonstrators who were hurling rocks, bottles and fireworks.Smoke bombs set off by the protesters cast a pall over a sea of red flags and banners bearing slogans attacking economic policies the protesters say are hurting the poor most. The violence sent many demonstrators running into hotels for safety.
PEACEFUL RALLIES
In contrast, small and peaceful rallies got the ball rolling across the Asia-Pacific region Saturday. In Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest city, 3,000 people chanted and banged drums, denouncing corporate greed.About 200 gathered in the capital Wellington and 50 in a park in the earthquake-hit southern city of Christchurch.In Sydney, about 2,000 people, including representatives of Aboriginal groups, communists and trade unionists, protested outside the central Reserve Bank of Australia.Hundreds marched in Tokyo, including anti-nuclear protesters. In Manila a few dozen marched on the U.S. embassy waving banners reading: Down with U.S. imperialism and Philippines not for sale.More than 100 people gathered at the Taipei stock exchange, chanting we are Taiwan’s 99 percent, and saying economic growth had only benefited companies while middle-class salaries barely covered soaring housing, education and health care costs.They found support from a top businessman, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (TSMC) Chairman Morris Chang.I’ve been against the gap between rich and poor, Chang said in the northern city of Hsinchu.The wealth of the top one percent has increased very fast in the past 20 or 30 years. Occupy Wall Street is a reaction to that.In Paris protests coincided with the G20 finance chiefs’ meeting there. In the working class neighborhood of Belleville, drummers, trumpeters and a tuba revved up a crowd of a few hundred that began to march to the city hall.This is potentially the start of a strong movement, said Olivier Milleron, a doctor whose group of trumpeters played the classic American folk song This land is your land.Waitress Tiodhilde Fernagu, 26, took a day off work to attend. For the first time in France there is a uniquely citizens’ movement outside party politics, she said.
THE INDIGNANT ONES
The Rome protesters, who called themselves the indignant ones, included unemployed, students and pensioners.I am here to show support for those don’t have enough money to make it to the next paycheque while the ECB (European Central Bank) keeps feeding the banks and killing workers and families, said Danila Cucunia, a 43-year-old teacher from northern Italy.At the global level, we can’t carry on any more with public debt that wasn’t created by us but by thieving governments, corrupt banks and speculators who don’t give a damn about us, said Nicla Crippa, 49.They caused this international crisis and are still profiting from it. They should pay for it.In imitation of the occupation of Zuccotti Park near Wall Street in Manhattan, protesters have been camped out across the street from the headquarters of the Bank of Italy for days.The worldwide protests were a response in part to calls by the New York demonstrators for more people to join them. Their example has prompted calls for similar occupations in dozens of U.S. cities from Saturday. [nN1E79D02O]In Madrid, seven marches were planned to merge in Cibeles square at 1600 GMT and then head to the central Puerta de Sol.In Germany, where sympathy for southern Europe’s debt troubles is not widespread, thousands gathered in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig and outside the ECB in Frankfurt, called by the Real Democracy Now movement.
Demonstrators gathered peacefully in Paradeplatz, the main square in the Swiss financial center of Zurich.In London, several hundred people assembled outside London’s St Paul’s Cathedral for a protest dubbed Occupy the London Stock Exchange. Several hundred people protested in Vienna, Sweden and Helsinki.Greek protesters called an anti-austerity rally for Saturday in Athens’ Syntagma Square.What is happening (debt-driven financial meltdown) in Greece now is the nightmare awaiting other countries in the future. Solidarity is the people’s weapon, the Real Democracy group said.(Additional reporting by Catherine Hornby in Rome, Naomi O’Leary and Michael Holden, in London, Natalia Drozdiak in Berlin and Alexandria Sage in Paris; Writing by Andrew Roche; Editing by Mark Heinrich)
Marxist Matrix of Occupy Protesters, Obama & George Soros: The Devil’s Symphony? Author- Kelly O'Connell Sunday, October 16, 2011-CANADA FREE PRESS
Are the Occupy Protests really the inscrutable uprising the mainstream media claims? Or, are they instead the work of mad tycoon George Soros and his rent-a-puppet Barack? We can hardly be blamed to see a connect when we detect a connecting, central motif—Marxism. The Occupy Protests are presented as the organic polar opposite of the Tea Party protests, arising of their own impetus as logically as weeds erupting in an empty field. But the central Marxist anti-capitalist message of Occupy argue against this.Further, when listening to the very weird and cult-like call-and-answer which these groups use, one can only sense the underlying group-think structure driving these idealistic yet confused souls into action. The strange fixation on Marxism of George Soros and Obama, attaching them to Occupy’s anti-capitalist anarchism are the topics of this essay.
I. Outline of Marxism
A. Overview
A brief description of Marxism is offered here to help understand the ideas and actions of Soros, Obama and the Occupy movement. From another article by this author, a thumbnail of the belief:Marxists insist life merely concerns proper distribution of wealth. Only two classes matter: rich and poor. The poor are pure, but the rich devilish, since they effectively steal wealth through Capitalism. The government must redistribute money to the poor, since God doesn’t exist to protect mankind. Workers will eventually rise up to overthrow oppressive bosses.After capitalism collapses, comes then socialism, but only temporarily. Finally communism is established, and all private property abolished. Peace on earth will reign as envy and war disappear when all people have the same status in society. Marx’s Communist Manifesto states, The theory of the Communists may be summed up in a single sentence: Abolition of private property.
B. Presuming Economic Imbalance is a Criminal Act
As an atheistic system, Marxism focuses upon material gods as the chief end of life. Given the notion that all amassing of fortunes presume an act of theft against the poor, Marx taught that all justice resided in addressing this theft. Marx mentions this in Das Kapital:The accumulation of wealth at one pole of society involves a simultaneous accumulation of poverty, labor, torment, slavery, ignorance, brutalization, and moral degradation, at the opposite pole—where dwells the class that produces its own product in the form of capital.
C. Dedication to Revolution
The entire premise of Marxism is revolution is needed so necessary changes can be midwifed into society. In fact, a mystical premise of Marxism is revolution is fated to sweep away capitalism, and therefore cannot be resisted, according to P. H. Vigor, in A Guide To Marxism. Revolution is taught by Marxists as the initial, needed cure to a vast array of societal ills. It’s described by Marx as the abolition of antagonisms between rich and poor. Since there is no locus of traditional morality in Marxism, any precursor to revolution is acceptable, no matter how apparently objectionable.The prerequisite to communist revolution is advanced capitalism, a state which has never actually given birth to such a result. One of the truly fascinating aspects from the period of 20th century when Marxist revolutions were occurring across the globe was how these rebellions were often not uprisings of natives. Writes Robert Tucker in The Marxian Revolutionary Idea,The communist regimes of Mongolia, North Korea, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary, Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia did not come to power in basically indigenous revolutions. These communist revolutions were imposed from outside.
II. Protest Wall Street: Marxists as Fake Tea Partiers?
Protest Wall Street began as an idea put forward by adbusters.org, an anti-capitalist organization which was funded indirectly by George Soros. He hotly disputes the claim of funding, but admits he understands the protestors.Reuters reports on this connection:Soros has donated at least $3.5 million to an organization called the Tides Center in recent years, earmarking the funds for specific purposes. Tides has given grants to Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada whose inventive marketing campaign sparked the first demonstrations last month.According to the IRS, Soros’ Open Society gave grants of $3.5 million to Tides, a San Francisco-based group that acts like a clearing house for other donors, directing their contributions to liberal non-profit groups. Tides gave Adbusters grants of $185,000 from 2001-2010, including nearly $26,000 between 2007-2009.The Vancouver-based Adbusters publishes a magazine with a circulation of 120,000…It says it wants to change the way corporations wield power and its goal is to topple existing power structures.Adbusters is an anti-capitalist, anti-consumerist, pro-environmental movement. In other words, they are garden-variety Marxists. But what are the beliefs of the Occupy Wall Street protestors? This question is not difficult to answer. Their general conviction is capitalism has run amok, and they are generally Marxist. We know this because they are critics of capitalism and Wall Street. Further, their demand for wealth redistribution is a sure giveaway that their motivations are socialistic.A typical demand of the mostly student protestors is for government crack down on corporations and the rich, and force them to redistribute wealth, for things like paying off student loans of the protestors.In contrast (or not—depending upon the reader’s views), according to Michelle Malkin, the first Tea Party protest occurred in Seattle against Congress’ bank bailout, organized by Keli Carender, from her Liberty Belle blog. About 100 people showed up.
III. Obama & Democrat Support of Occupy Protests—An Anti-Tea Party
An absurd irony of Barack’s support of the Occupy Protesters is that he, more than any other mortal, is responsible for their currently impoverished state. And when such leftist leading lights as Nancy Toxic Melon Pelosi, Harry Reid, Michael Moore, and George Soros add their approval, one realizes that this spontaneous movement is anything but self-generating.Democrats exult at their own Tea Party, in all its grubby grandeur. The DNC touts the inherent democratic element of the movement. Natural born rebel Barack undoubtedly feels a bred-in-the-bone kinship with the anti-capitalist malcontents.That malignant shrew Pelosi would pour scorn upon the Tea Party as anti-democratic astroturf, then applaud repeatedly the Occupy protestors, revealing this group is truly leftist and undoubtedly as natural as bomb shelter Twinkies.
IV. Immoral World of Wannabe Global-Savior George Soros
The rogue insider-trader of Paris—billionaire Marxist financier George Soros—made a fortune by gambling against weakened currencies of troubled countries. In this sense, soporific Soros, more than any other public money man, harvested billions by leaching off capitalism.Interestingly enough, Soros admits to having a messiah complex which he is now wealthy enough to pursue with rank abandon. Joy Tiz writes in Soros: It’s Not Easy Being God
A passage in his book The Alchemy of Finance, published in 1987, distinguishes Soros from all other financiers, ever. I have always harboured an exaggerated view of my self-importance, he wrote. To put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes, or, even better, like Einstein. My sense of reality was strong enough to make me realise that these expectations were excessive, and I kept them hidden as a guilty secret. This was a source of considerable unhappiness through much of my adult life. As I made my way in the world, reality came close enough to my fantasy to allow me to admit my secret, at least to myself. Needless to say, I feel much happier as a result.
A. Youthful Jewish Soros as Nazi-Helper
Soros’ taste for money and hypocrisy developed young. George’s entrepreneurial spirit and do-anything-for-money moxie materialized as a young Hungarian Jew. During WWII, teenage Soros pretended to be Protestant to escape Nazis while helping confiscate the goods from Jews deported to concentration camps like Dachau and Auschwitz. In fact, amoral Soros admitted the following on the TV program 60 Minutes about his youthful exploits:
KROFT: You’re a Hungarian Jew…
SOROS: Mm-hmm.
KROFT: ...who escaped the Holocaust…
SOROS: Mm-hmm.
KROFT:...by—by posing as a Christian.
SOROS: Right.
KROFT: And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and—and anticipate events and when—when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a—a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that’s—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
SOROS: Not—not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t—you don’t see the connection. But it was—it created no—no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
SOROS: No.
B. Soros’ Bona Fide Marxism
In an eye-opening essay penned by Soros in the Atlantic Monthly, he essentially admitted to being a Marxist when he applied George Hegel’s description of history in an article titled The Capitalist Threat. He began the piece by stating,In The Philosophy of History, Hegel discerned a disturbing historical pattern—the crack and fall of civilizations owing to a morbid intensification of their own first principles. Although I have made a fortune in the financial markets, I now fear that the untrammeled intensification of laissez-faire capitalism and the spread of market values into all areas of life is endangering our open and democratic society. The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.Quoting Hegel is a typical leftist method of bringing Marx into the discussion without raising too many eyebrows. This is because virtually everything Marx wrote was borrowed from Hegel, as one author admits,Marx is often being seen as the successor of Hegel in practical life. His views are often called dialectical materialism, because he transforms Hegel’s dialectic into his materialist views on economics.Further, Soro’s conclusion of that first paragraph, where it claims that free-market, aka laissez-faire capitalism, is the biggest threat to a free society is a quintessential Marxist claim. In other words, the biggest threat to an open society is economic freedom.
C. George’s Marxism in Action
George Soros has described how he helped undermine the communist states in Eastern Europe, which he claimed was tremendous fun. Having had some success, Soros went on to create his Open Society Institute which ironically tries to limit freedoms around the world in the name of open society. The list of various groups that OSI funds is astounding, all of which are meant to tear down the legitimacy of various institutions in western countries—especially America. (a listing of these is attached to the end of this article from Discover the Networks). But Soros supposedly gives away half a billion dollars a year undermining capitalism and democracy.
D. Soros’ Marxist-Styled Capitalism
George Soros has repeatedly made huge fortunes from betting on currency futures. For example, he bet against the UK Pound when it lost 10% of its value. He made a billion pounds sterling off this maneuver. He has done the same thing repeatedly against various countries.In a sense, such money-making activities are quintessential Marxist dealings for several reasons. First, they do not create any capital by creating or distributing products—so he enriches no industrialists. Second, he makes his take off the currency itself, meaning all wealthy persons in the country will suffer loss. Third, such activities destabilize the country itself, making it easier for leftists to take over. Fourth, it increases his own fortune so he may use this to support revolution in other places.
E. George’s Five Steps to Bring Down a Country
Glen Beck, in his riveting and well-researched expose’ of Soros, lists five steps the crafty Hungarian has used to destabilize various countries:After country after country after country, we found that there are five steps to him gaining control. He does it over and over and over again. So, let’s see what the steps are and let’s see if he’s done any of them here.The first one is form a shadow government using humanitarian aid as cover. This is what he just said. It’s kind of funny. It’s kind of fun. The first step he said is subversive activities. OK? Step two: control the airwaves. Fund existing radio and TV outlets and take control over them or start your own outlets. Remember: take control of existing or start your own.Step three: destabilize the state, weaken the government and build an anti-government kind of feeling in this country. You exploit an economic crisis or take advantage of existing crisis—pressure from the top and the bottom. This will allow you to weaken the government and build anti- government public sentiment.Step four: you provoke an election crisis. You wait for an election. And during the election, you cry voter fraud.Step five: take power. You stage massive demonstrations, civil disobedience, sit-ins, general strike, you encourage activism. You promote voter fraud and tell followers what to do through your radio and television stations.
Conclusion
Marxism is the “freedom” that Soros, Obama and the Occupy protesters would like to deliver to America. But we must be aware and not naive when groups suddenly appear, realizing our times are the Age of Propaganda where precious few things are as they seem.The madly destructive Soros, like Thomas Kyd’s Personified Revenge, grows restless and vexed not seeing America laid waste in the gutter before his octogenarian heart gives out. Perhaps Kyd had a Soros-type in mind when he wrote:
The left hand path declining fearfully,Was ready downfall to the deepest hell,Where userers are chok’d with melting gold,And perjur’d wights scalded in boiling lead,And all foul sins with torments overwhelm’d.

Stewart was the criminal-defense attorney who was later convicted for abetting her client, the blind sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, in terrorist activities connected with his Islamic Group.The Capital Research Center has published a list of additional organizations to which OSI has recently donated money, groups that according to CRC advocate higher taxes and more government spending, oppose social security reform, litigate against property rights, oppose the death penalty, oppose tough criminal incarceration policies, oppose Bush judicial nominees, and promote balkanizing racial agendas. These donees include the following:We Interrupt This Message portrays America as a nation rife with racism and economic injustice; seeks to radicalize minority youth; aims to help the disenfranchised and the marginalized to overcome negative media stereotypes; and encourages acts of rebellion against America’s alleged injustices, as evidenced by its characterization of the 1992 Los Angeles riots as a civil uprising.The Independent Media Institute publishes a number of regularly updated websites that offer news and opinion from a far left perspective; its Executive Director Don Hazen is a former publisher of Mother Jones magazine.The Community Rights Counsel provides legal assistance to state and local governments seeking to restrict individual property rights in the name of community interest.Equal Justice Works encourages young people to pursue careers as public interest lawyers—focusing on the areas of workers’ rights, birth control and abortion issues, consumers’ rights, disability issues, children’s rights, the death penalty, and prisoners’ rights—by funding student fellowships and helping students pay back their school loans.The Legal Action Center is a public interest law firm that litigates to force health-care insurers to provide coverage for people with histories of addiction to alcohol and drugs. It also opposes community efforts to block the placement of alcohol- and drug-treatment facilities in or near residential neighborhoods.

A strong supporter of anti-war and environmentalist organizations, OSI is a member of the Peace and Security Funders Group. It is also a member of the International Human Rights Funders Group, a network of more than six-dozen grant-makers dedicated to bankrolling leftistorganizations and causes.OSI endorsed a 2000 document called the Earth Charter, which blames capitalism for many of the world’s environmental, social, and economic problems. According to the Charter, the dominant patterns of production and consumption are causing environmental devastation, the depletion of resources, and a massive extinction of species.The benefits of development, adds the Charter, are not shared equitably and the gap between rich and poor is widening.In the vanguard of the U.S. drug decriminalization movement, OSI in 1994 pledged $4 million to fund the establishment of the Lindesmith Center, which supports the legalization of marijuana. In 2002 OSI gave $3 million to the Tides Foundation, earmarking the money for a group called Fund for Drug Policy Reform, which opposes the War on Drugs.OSI was a signatory to a November 1, 2001 document characterizing the 9/11 attacks as a legal matter to be addressed by criminal-justice procedures rather than military retribution.Suggesting that the hijackers were motivated chiefly by adesire to point out global injustices perpetrated by the United States, this document explained that similar future calamitiescould be averted only ifAmerica would finally begin to promote fundamental rights around the world.OSIendorsed the Civil Liberties Restoration Act (CLRA) of 2004, which was designed to roll back, in the name of protecting civil liberties,vital national-security policies that had been adopted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.Numerous OSI funding initiatives reflect the Institute’s view that the American criminal-justice system is infested with racism, and that incarceration is an inappropriate punishment for most lawbreakers. For example: (a) OSI has established a U.S. Justice Fund to diminish the role of prisons ...andto pave the way for the creation of a larger system of public health and social supports.(b) In a related measure,the Institute created an After Prison Initiative focusing on supporting the successful reentry of prisoners to their communities. (c) OSI helps finance the Sentencing Project, which claims that prison sentencing patterns are racially discriminatory, and advocates in favor of granting voting rights to convicted felons. (d) OSI funds the Southern Center for Human Rights, which recruits lawyers to represent death row inmates and aims to reduce America’s alleged over-reliance on incarceration. (e) The Institute supports Critical Resistance,a program that impugns the Prison Industrial Complex for fostering the delusion that caging and controlling people makes us safe.
A strong advocate of gun control, OSI funds the Network on Small Arms,which has lobbied the United Nationsto passa measure outlawingprivate gun ownership and effectively overturning the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment.OSI funded the multi-year United Nations Millennium Development Project—commissioned by the UN Secretary-General in 2002 to develop a concrete action plan for the world to…reverse the grinding poverty, hunger and disease affecting billions of people. In 2005 this Projectculminated in a recommendation for a massive wealth-redistribution, foreign-aid program whose provisions, if adopted, would impose more than $150 billion in annual costs on Americans.Each year, OSI sponsors a number of fellowships, among them, the Soros Justice Fellowship which is awarded to “outstanding individuals who will implement projects aimed at reforming the American criminal-justice system. Most notably, OSI seeks to end the over-reliance on incarceration and harsh punishment, and the lack of equal justice—especially for people of color and the poor. One of the more infamous recipients of this fellowship was the radical communist Linda Evans, a former member of the Weather Underground. In the 1970s, Evans and accomplice Susan Rosenberg took part in the deadly Brinks armored-car robbery in Nyack, New York, where two security guards and two police officers were shot, three of them fatally. Three years later, the women were finally apprehended. At the time, they had 740 pounds of explosives (which they admitted were earmarked for bombings) in their possession. Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in prison, Evans to 40 years. (She was later paroned by President Bill Clinton in January 2001.) According to FBI files, Evans, during a 1969 trip to Hanoi, was shown an anti-aircraft gun, cradled it in her arms, and said,[I wish] an American plane would fly over. Her OSI award was intended to aid her efforts to increase civic participation of former prisoners.On August 16, 2005, OSI (in collaboration with the Center for American Progress, the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union, AFSCME, and the United Steelworkers Union) launched a new organization called the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN). Led by Democratic activists David Sirota and Steve Doherty, PLAN’s mission is to seed state legislatures with prewritten model legislation reflectingleftist visions of justice.
Between 1998 and 2003, OSI received more than $30 million from U.S. government agencies. Various State Department documents indicate that OSI has been paid to run what the Department describes as democratization programs in a number of countries, including Uzbekistan, Burma, and regions of Central Asia.In an effort topresent itself in the most positive light to the American people,OSI uses the services of the public relations firm Fenton Communications.In October 2010, OSI announced that it was donating $1.8 million to National Public Radio, in order to enable NPR to add 100 journalists at its affiliate radio stations across the United States.
Corporate-Fascists Clamor for Iran War-Unelected corporate-funded policy makers constitute the greatest threat to US national security.Tony Cartalucci Infowars.com October 16, 2011
http://www.infowars.com/corporate-fascists-clamor-for-iran-war/
While US politicians grapple over the credibility of using the US DEA’s bomb plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador as a pretext to escalate tensions with Iran, America’s unelected, corporate-funded policy makers have already announced their long, foregone conclusion. The DEA’s entrapment case is decidedly to be used as a pretext for war with Iran.The Foreign Policy Institute (FPI), just one such unelected, corporate-funded think tank, has released two statements calling on President Obama to use force against Iran. FPI director William Kristol states:It’s long since been time for the United States to speak to this regime in the language it understands—force.And now we have an engraved invitation to do so. The plot to kill the Saudi ambassador was a lemon. Statesmanship involves turning lemons into lemonade.So we can stop talking. Instead, we can follow the rat lines in Iraq and Afghanistan back to their sources, and destroy them. We can strike at the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and weaken them. And we can hit the regime’s nuclear weapons program, and set it back.Likewise, FPI’s executive director Jamie Fly claims, in tandem with Kristol’s unqualified, corporate-funded opinion,It is time to take military action against the Iranian government elements that support terrorism and its nuclear program. More diplomacy is not an adequate response.Image: Just a sampling of Wall Street-London corporate-funded think tanks. Those that believe America’s policy is created within the offices of our elected legislatures will be sadly disappointed to know that it is in fact produced by these unelected, nebulous private institutions. Despite the different logos and rhetoric wielded by each of these institutions, they consist of the same members and same corporate-financier sponsors and merely specialize in executing different aspects of the corporate-financier agenda. For more information, please see Naming Names. (click on image to enlarge)
Ironically, Jamie Fly, who believes it is time to take military action against Iran for supporting terrorism, is a signatory of a letter imploring House Republicans to support the US war in Libya where NATO forces are literally handing an entire nation over to rebels led by the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, listed by both the US and British government as a foreign terrorist organization, and is confirmed to have fought and killed US and British troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It should also be noted, that fellow policy makers at the Brookings Institute proposed that the US arm, train, and even go as far as de-list as a terrorist organization, MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq), in covert efforts to wage war against Tehran. MEK is acknowledged by Brookings to not only be a bona fide terrorist organization, but also has American civilian and military blood on its hands.Image: Know your enemy. It is not turban-wearing cave dwellers that threaten America. It is unelected, corporate policy pimps like those found lurking within the halls of the Foreign Policy Initiative. They seek to mislead Americans into supporting an agenda that literally bleeds them to death while they and their corporate-financier sponsors continue to consolidate both wealth and power on a global scale. (click on image to enlarge).It is safe to say that Jamie Fly, William Kristol, and the rest of the policy wonks populating FPI and similar corporate-funded think tanks harbor less than genuine concerns regarding terrorism, – concerns which are voiced purely for public consumption.As reported previously, the official, though rarely spoken about policy toward Iran is one of purposefully provoking the regime into a war it desperately wants to avoid. The Brookings Institution, like FPI, is a corporate-funded think tank full of unelected policy makers who literally steer America’s destiny. In its report Which Path to Persia? it is clearly stated that not only does Iran want to avoid war, but any potential aspirations to acquire nuclear weapons are driven only by a desire to defend its sovereignty, not use unilaterally against its neighbors nor to proliferate such weapons into the hands of non-state actors.Despite this admission, the Brookings Institution claims that American extraterritorial ambitions across the Middle East cannot be impeded by strong, independent nation-states and spells out a criminal conspiracy to remove such impediments. Such tactic include funding terrorist organizations to wage a covert war against Tehran, funding opposition groups to rise up against the Iranian government, sanctions, and even provoking a war through covert means.
Masking this criminal conspiracy is a narrative repeated ad naseum by the corporate media, literally sponsored and steered by the same corporations and banks that fund the above mentioned think tanks. The American people are presented with a belligerent, irrational enemy, so entirely fictitious it challenges the archetypes produced by Hollywood. Should Americans know the truth about America’s real policy regarding Iran, war not only would not take place – those who have pushed so hard to shed American treasure and blood in Iran would be ferreted out as criminals and permanetnly removed from society.US foreign and domestic policy is not produced by our legislatures as we are meant to believe. John Kerry and John McCain don’t sit behind their desks twelve hours a day penning the 1,000 page policy papers they present to Congress to be rubber stamped. President Obama is not sitting in the Oval Office churning out reams of policy papers either. It is the unelected, corporate-funded policy think tanks and their army of policy makers, lawyers, scribes, and media personalities the produce, promote, and ram through an agenda that serves not the American people, but the corporate-financier interests that fund their work.
While many Americans scratch their heads at what appears to be a profound mystery – a Democratic president carrying the torch of a Neo-Conservative Republican’s global war, not only maintaining all previous wars, but expanding the battlefront – in reality this linear, continuous policy that is being executed piecemeal by both sides of the American political aisle is the direct result of these corporate-funded think tanks successfully commandeering both political parties.John Kerry and John McCain’s love for sending Americans to their deaths in foreign nations and spending American tax money to destabilize countries around the world is not an anomalous convergence of some political ideal, but rather the result of absolute, naked corporate fascism overrunning America’s political institutions and co-opting politicians of inferior human character. As in Nazi Germany, this unchecked power, not foreign enemies, presents the gravest risk to national security imaginable. Those that serve this system and fail to speak out against it, and worse yet, willingly collaborate with it, are America’s true enemies and a self-evident threat the American people can no longer afford to tolerate.
Vote out of office any and all public servants that promote extraterritorial meddling, including wars, funding foreign opposition movements, arming foreign militants, and funding foreign propaganda networks. Vote out of office all representatives that peddle 1,000 page pieces of legislation produced by corporate lawyers and their vast array of “think tanks.” And above all,identify and expose the actual corporate-financier interests driving this destructive agenda, then boycott and replace them. The vast influence and unwarranted power these corporate fascist monopoly men have garnered is a direct result of our apathy, ignorance, and decades of paying into their system with our money, time, energy, and attention.America is being brought to the precipice of a war neither the American nor the Iranian people want by a cartel of corporate-financier interests that admit the nation of Iran poses to threat to the United States. This is purely a war to enhance US hegemony in the Middle East, not protect the American people and our way of life at home. It is a war that the American people will pay for in both trillions of dollars in public funds, as well as the blood of our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen. It is up to the American people to end this cycle of parasitic exploitation before it ends America.

More than 900 Life Sentences of Terrorists Annulled-The first list of 477 terrorists to be freed Shalit includes dozens serving 924 life terms for murdering or organizing the murder of Jews.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/16/2011, 8:10 AM
The first list of 477 terrorists to be freed Tuesday for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit includes dozens serving 924 life sentences for murdering or organizing the murder of Jews.The other terrorists were sentenced to a collective total of hundreds of years in jail, but all of them will see the light of day on Tuesday in the unprecedented exchange for Shalit, who is expected to arrive in Israel in Tuesday.
Hamas still might torpedo the arrangement with demands for the release of more terrorists, but heavy international pressure may prevent any attempt to abort the deal.Among the terrorists to be freed, barring an unlikely successful appeal to the High Court by terror victims and their families are the murderers of Nachshon Waxman, Effie and Yaron Unger and Yosef and Hannah Dickstein.Also to be released are those responsible for the massacres at the Dolphinarium in Tel Aviv the Sbarro Restaurant in Jerusalem and the Park Hotel on the eve of Passover in Netanya.Included on the list who will be allowed to return to their homes in Judea and Samaria or Jerusalem along with another 40 who may do so but are subject to limitations.
Among those to be freed are:
— Idris Rajbi, involved in an attack that killed 22 Israelis;
— Bassam Snineh, who murdered a yeshiva student Kerman fourteenth;
— Jihad Irmor, who kidnapped and murdered Wachsman;
— Husam Badran, one of those responsible for bombings at the Dolphinarium, Sbarro and the Park Hotel;
— Abed Amro, a member of the terrorist squad that sent a suicide bomber to the Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem;
— Omar Sarhan, the knife murderer of three Israelis in 1990; and
— Fahd Lodi, involved in the kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldier Yaron Chen.
US on High Alert, Conducts Drill in Israel and Saudi Arabia-The US holds a large-scale aerial exercise in Israel and Saudi Arabia; a navy fleet sails to the region in preparation for terror attacks By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/16/2011, 1:19 PM
The United States is conducting a week-long large-scale aerial exercise in Israel and Saudi Arabia as a navy fleet sails to the Mediterranean in preparation for any surprise flare-ups in the Middle East as Israel and frees 1,027 terrorists and security prisoners in exchange for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.Intelligence officials have said that terrorist groups, particularly Hizbullah and those based in Gaza, will try to stage attacks on American and Israel targets in the Middle East while the exchange takes place.The U.S. Transportation Command and its Air Forces Transportation will be testing its ability to provide a rapid strategic airlift response to major crises and contingencies, according to DebkaReport.The American, Saudi and Israel armies are on high alert following last week’s American accusations that Iran plotted to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington.The United States also reportedly is sending the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. It provides combat support for ground troops and can plant mines on coasts of Middle East countries.
Arab Policemen Arrest Jews for Bowing Down on Temple Mount-Arab policemen arrested two Jews, including a prominent Yesha spokesman, for allegedly bowing down and praying on the Temple Mount.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/16/2011, 11:22 AM
Arab policemen arrested two Jews, including a prominent spokesman in Samaria, for allegedly bowing down and praying on the Temple Mount Sunday morning.Shomron (Samaria) Liaison Spokesman David Ha’Ivri told Arutz Sheva, We were in a group of 25 men performing the mitzvah of being seen on the Temple Mount during the Sukkot holiday.Suddenly, two policemen said a friend and I were bowing down, which they say is forbidden. Ha’Ivri said the policemen were non-Jews and, responding to Arutz Sheva, identified them as Arabs.I told the policemen, Look, there are Arab watch guards here, and they are not making a fuss about it.The policemen replied,It is forbidden to bow down, and we are just doing our job.He added, Can you imagine being indicted for bowing down? Ha’Ivri said he has ascended the Temple Mount several times a year for the past 20 years and was arrested only once, many years ago.
Abiding by known rules issued by Muslim clerics, Ha’Ivri and the other members of the group did not carry with them any prayer books or religious items, which are forbidden by Jews to being with them when going up to the Temple Mount.

DEUTERONOMY 33:1 - 34:12
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
DEUTERONOMY 34:1-12
1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
PROPHETS PORTION
JOSHUA 1:1-18
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

MATTHEW 17:1-10
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
MARK 9:2-11
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
LUKE 9:29-36
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
JUDE 3-4,8-10
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

DEUTERONOMY 33:1 - 34:12
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
DEUTERONOMY 34:1-12
1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

JOSHUA 1:1-18
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

IS IRAN THREATENING EMP ATTACK ON AMERICA
AMERICA (POLITICAL BABYLON)(NUKED BY SNEAK ATTACK FROM RUSSIA)
JEREMIAH 50:3,24
3 For out of the north (RUSSIA) there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon,(AMERICA) and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. (RUSSIA A SNEAK ATTACK ON AMERICA)
REVELATION 18:3-6,19-21
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,(U.S.A) and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,(U.S.A) and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,(AMERICA) my people,(CHRISTIANS,JEWS) that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you,(WITH FALSE FLAG TERRORISM) and double unto her double according to her works:(DOUBLE-EMP 1ST,THEN RUSSIA NUKE ATTACKS U.S.A) in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.(PROBABLY A RUSSIAN CYBER ATTACK WILL SET THE WHOLE SITUATION UP AS RUSSIA HACKS THE USA ARMY COMPUTERS.THEN THE EMP,THEN THE NUKE ATTACK)
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
An EMP Threat from Iranian Warship Coming to the US Coast? OCT 15,11
Recent media reports have warned that Iran intends to send a warship to a position just off the USA’s coast (see CNN link and FOX News link below). At first glance, one might think that one such Iranian ship might not be much of a threat to the USA. Iran also has little experience in operating a blue-water navy, and it will have to arrange for ports-of-call and replenishment and refueling options for any such ship stationed just off US waters. I think it would easily obtain support from Cuban or Venezuelan ports, but it takes time to set up such arrangements.
The third link, from the LA Times, discounts the Iranian threat with the statement: It is preposterous to think that the American mainland is under some form of military threat by Iran, [and adds...] The Iranian admiral may bark, but he doesn’t have much of a bite. The author of this article clearly doesn’t get it concerning the nature of the Iranian threat. That one Iranian ship could cause tens of millions of deaths in the eastern USA…with one special kind of missile. That special kind of missile was successfully flight-tested over the Caspian Sea by the Iranian military years ago (see fourth link and fifth link). If the Iranian warship coming near to the US coastline has missiles with EMP warheads on them, it represents a far greater threat than if it had Hiroshima-type nuclear weapons to shoot at the USA.
Many Americans still don’t realize how vulnerable our nation is to an EMP attack by terrorists, nation states or rogue actors. It is a major failure of the US government that it hadn’t enacted a major campaign years ago to warn American citizens about this threat and that major efforts are not underway in every industry and every city to prepare for this type of attack. Put simply, an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) warhead, if detonated at a high altitude, will fry all electric/electronic/solid state/computerized equipment within all areas on the ground in the line of sight of the pulse the explosion would generate. The higher the missile is detonated, the greater will be the area devasted by the missile because it will have a greater event horizon. As hard as it is for pampered Americans to grasp, one EMP blast would instantly put a large swath of the USA back in the 19th century as there would be no electric or electronic functions surviving. All airborne civilian airplanes would immediately crash, all computerized hospital and nursing home equipment would crash, all cars made after roughly 1980 would cease to operate, all civilian radio and TV stations would be gone, all transportation systems for food and energy distribution would cease to function. The entire banking industry and Wall Street would be toast.
A recent book portrays what would happen if three EMP weapons were simultaneously exploded over the USA. It is entitled, One Second After, and it is authored by William Forstchen. It includes a Foreword by Newt Gingrich, a current GOP presidential candidate, who warns that this threat is real and serious. It also includes an Afterword by a retired US Navy Captain, Bill Sanders, who describes the technical aspects of this very real threat which could potentially happen any time. The book should be read by every American, so more Americans would thoughtfully prepare for such an attack…and survive. The book depicts fictional people and events in a rural North Carolina college community which suddenly finds itself on its own when all electricity and electronics simple end one day. I won’t give away the book’s contents, but you will be amazed in reading how large a percentage of the USA’s population could die within one year without any electicity or electronics. As Captain Sanders says about this book: It was an emotional and gut-wrenching read—because it could actually happen.The East Coast, with its high population density cities and minimal food production, experiences a death rate in this book’s account far higher than you likely imagine possible before reading this book.
Please don’t feel helpless. There are practical ways to protect yourself and electronic components if you simply take advance action to prepare for such an event. The sixth link and seventh link examine how you can prepare to protect your electronic components by building Faraday Cages in which to place back-up electronic equipment you will need to restore fried components after an EMP attack. All automotive, utility, communications, health care and other vital industries should be making large Farady cages so they have protected equipment to quickly rebuild their systems after such an attack. As far as I know, no industry is doing so. Congress has been warned and has known about this threat for many years as the last two links document. As far as I know, Congress has responded it is usual manner…by doing nothing.
The US military has known about the EMP threat since before the Reagan years. I was told about it by a now-deceased USAF officer in the 1970s. The book notes that Reagan made great efforts to “harden” military electronics so the US military’s equipment and weapons systems could survive such an attack. Apparently, subsequent administrations have not made essential efforts to make sure military equipment is properly protected. I’ll give away one item from the above-mentioned book: It makes its point that the US government has been so complacent about not making sure all essential equipment is hardened against an EMP attack by having the US President and his entire entourage being among the first to die because Air Force One was in the air at the time the EMP attack occurred and all its equipment was not EMP-protected. I suggest you read the book, but it is gut-wrenching, indeed. You will never look at our high-tech society the same after reading this book. I’ll also briefly mention that the book is significantly in harmony with the warnings of my Gog-Magog blog as it has a major Asian nation [hint: their capital is Beijing] occupying a large swath of the western USA with its foreign army as the book concludes.
We Americans (and Westerners) live in a Fool’s Paradise, thinking we are invulnerable to attack and that the delicate high-tech systems our lives depend on are oh-so permanent. The fictional book, One Second After, depicts the USA being hit with three EMP missile blasts fired from ships off our coasts. In the real world, we now have reports that Iran is about to station a warship off our coasts and we know Iran successfully test-fired EMP-capable missiles years ago. Do they also have EMP warheads, either produced in Iran or bought from China, Pakistan or Russia? Iran calls the USA the Great Satan, so we are their number one target. I hope the US military keeps a very close watch on that Iranian ship when/if it arrives within missile range of the USA, and that assets are in place to shoot down any missile fired from that ship as soon as it is launched to limit the likely EMP damage to the USA.
I hope that readers have read and taken action on my article, Should Christians Prepare for Future Hard Times? Frankly, every American, Christian or not, should make reasonable preparations for themselves and their families, but many Christians have an escapist attitude masquerading as faith which can be summed up as: I don’t have to do anything, God will take care of me no matter what happens.The Bible exposes that attitude as dead wrong. When God gives people advance warnings about future calamities, he expects people to take action or else. If Noah hadn’t built the Ark after God warned him about a future Deluge, Noah and the human race would have perished. If Joseph had not made prodigious preparations for a seven-year famine about which God gave advance warning, Egypt and its surrounding populations would have starved to death. God has given many advance warnings to Bible-readers that in the latter days, global calamities will occur, so, like Noah and Joseph, we have been given advance warnings and God holds us responsible for being warned. Noah and Joseph heeded God’s warnings and made serious preparations…and lived. What kind of preparations have you made?

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,(AMERICA) my people,(CHRISTIANS,JEWS) that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you,(WITH FALSE FLAG TERRORISM) and double unto her double according to her works:(DOUBLE-EMP 1ST,THEN RUSSIA NUKE ATTACKS U.S.A) in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.(PROBABLY A RUSSIAN CYBER ATTACK WILL SET THE WHOLE SITUATION UP AS RUSSIA HACKS THE USA ARMY COMPUTERS.THEN THE EMP,THEN THE NUKE ATTACK)
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
An EMP Threat from Iranian Warship Coming to the US Coast? OCT 15,11
Recent media reports have warned that Iran intends to send a warship to a position just off the USA’s coast (see CNN link and FOX News link below). At first glance, one might think that one such Iranian ship might not be much of a threat to the USA. Iran also has little experience in operating a blue-water navy, and it will have to arrange for ports-of-call and replenishment and refueling options for any such ship stationed just off US waters. I think it would easily obtain support from Cuban or Venezuelan ports, but it takes time to set up such arrangements.
The third link, from the LA Times, discounts the Iranian threat with the statement: It is preposterous to think that the American mainland is under some form of military threat by Iran, [and adds...] The Iranian admiral may bark, but he doesn’t have much of a bite. The author of this article clearly doesn’t get it concerning the nature of the Iranian threat. That one Iranian ship could cause tens of millions of deaths in the eastern USA…with one special kind of missile. That special kind of missile was successfully flight-tested over the Caspian Sea by the Iranian military years ago (see fourth link and fifth link). If the Iranian warship coming near to the US coastline has missiles with EMP warheads on them, it represents a far greater threat than if it had Hiroshima-type nuclear weapons to shoot at the USA.
Many Americans still don’t realize how vulnerable our nation is to an EMP attack by terrorists, nation states or rogue actors. It is a major failure of the US government that it hadn’t enacted a major campaign years ago to warn American citizens about this threat and that major efforts are not underway in every industry and every city to prepare for this type of attack. Put simply, an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) warhead, if detonated at a high altitude, will fry all electric/electronic/solid state/computerized equipment within all areas on the ground in the line of sight of the pulse the explosion would generate. The higher the missile is detonated, the greater will be the area devasted by the missile because it will have a greater event horizon. As hard as it is for pampered Americans to grasp, one EMP blast would instantly put a large swath of the USA back in the 19th century as there would be no electric or electronic functions surviving. All airborne civilian airplanes would immediately crash, all computerized hospital and nursing home equipment would crash, all cars made after roughly 1980 would cease to operate, all civilian radio and TV stations would be gone, all transportation systems for food and energy distribution would cease to function. The entire banking industry and Wall Street would be toast.
A recent book portrays what would happen if three EMP weapons were simultaneously exploded over the USA. It is entitled, One Second After, and it is authored by William Forstchen. It includes a Foreword by Newt Gingrich, a current GOP presidential candidate, who warns that this threat is real and serious. It also includes an Afterword by a retired US Navy Captain, Bill Sanders, who describes the technical aspects of this very real threat which could potentially happen any time. The book should be read by every American, so more Americans would thoughtfully prepare for such an attack…and survive. The book depicts fictional people and events in a rural North Carolina college community which suddenly finds itself on its own when all electricity and electronics simple end one day. I won’t give away the book’s contents, but you will be amazed in reading how large a percentage of the USA’s population could die within one year without any electicity or electronics. As Captain Sanders says about this book: It was an emotional and gut-wrenching read—because it could actually happen.The East Coast, with its high population density cities and minimal food production, experiences a death rate in this book’s account far higher than you likely imagine possible before reading this book.
Please don’t feel helpless. There are practical ways to protect yourself and electronic components if you simply take advance action to prepare for such an event. The sixth link and seventh link examine how you can prepare to protect your electronic components by building Faraday Cages in which to place back-up electronic equipment you will need to restore fried components after an EMP attack. All automotive, utility, communications, health care and other vital industries should be making large Farady cages so they have protected equipment to quickly rebuild their systems after such an attack. As far as I know, no industry is doing so. Congress has been warned and has known about this threat for many years as the last two links document. As far as I know, Congress has responded it is usual manner…by doing nothing.
The US military has known about the EMP threat since before the Reagan years. I was told about it by a now-deceased USAF officer in the 1970s. The book notes that Reagan made great efforts to “harden” military electronics so the US military’s equipment and weapons systems could survive such an attack. Apparently, subsequent administrations have not made essential efforts to make sure military equipment is properly protected. I’ll give away one item from the above-mentioned book: It makes its point that the US government has been so complacent about not making sure all essential equipment is hardened against an EMP attack by having the US President and his entire entourage being among the first to die because Air Force One was in the air at the time the EMP attack occurred and all its equipment was not EMP-protected. I suggest you read the book, but it is gut-wrenching, indeed. You will never look at our high-tech society the same after reading this book. I’ll also briefly mention that the book is significantly in harmony with the warnings of my Gog-Magog blog as it has a major Asian nation [hint: their capital is Beijing] occupying a large swath of the western USA with its foreign army as the book concludes.
We Americans (and Westerners) live in a Fool’s Paradise, thinking we are invulnerable to attack and that the delicate high-tech systems our lives depend on are oh-so permanent. The fictional book, One Second After, depicts the USA being hit with three EMP missile blasts fired from ships off our coasts. In the real world, we now have reports that Iran is about to station a warship off our coasts and we know Iran successfully test-fired EMP-capable missiles years ago. Do they also have EMP warheads, either produced in Iran or bought from China, Pakistan or Russia? Iran calls the USA the Great Satan, so we are their number one target. I hope the US military keeps a very close watch on that Iranian ship when/if it arrives within missile range of the USA, and that assets are in place to shoot down any missile fired from that ship as soon as it is launched to limit the likely EMP damage to the USA.
I hope that readers have read and taken action on my article, Should Christians Prepare for Future Hard Times? Frankly, every American, Christian or not, should make reasonable preparations for themselves and their families, but many Christians have an escapist attitude masquerading as faith which can be summed up as: I don’t have to do anything, God will take care of me no matter what happens.The Bible exposes that attitude as dead wrong. When God gives people advance warnings about future calamities, he expects people to take action or else. If Noah hadn’t built the Ark after God warned him about a future Deluge, Noah and the human race would have perished. If Joseph had not made prodigious preparations for a seven-year famine about which God gave advance warning, Egypt and its surrounding populations would have starved to death. God has given many advance warnings to Bible-readers that in the latter days, global calamities will occur, so, like Noah and Joseph, we have been given advance warnings and God holds us responsible for being warned. Noah and Joseph heeded God’s warnings and made serious preparations…and lived. What kind of preparations have you made?
