A detailed new compilation of evidence by the Guardian newspaper (London) and the BBC Arabic Service (London) has brought up fresh material to support the emerging international view that the US government and its AIPAC/Zionist corporate controllers now form the major engine of state-sponsored terrorism on the planet.

During the Bush Jnr presidency, the US Pentagon sent Colonel James Steele (58), an American veteran of its dirty wars in Central America, to oversee sectarian police commando units in Iraq which set up covert detention and torture centres to extract information from insurgents. These units conducted some of the worst acts of torture reported during the US occupation and deliberately accelerated the country's downward spiral into civil war. This civil war served the requirements of US business and diplomacy in the region.

The allegations, made by US and Iraqi witnesses in the new fifty-minute London documentary, implicate US government advisers for the first time in the human rights abuses committed. David Petraeus has been directly linked through an adviser, Colonel James H Coffman, to this abuse. Coffman described himself as Petraeus's eyes and ears out on the ground in Iraq. Steele and Coffman worked as a team and knew everything about the US-sanctioned torture programmes.

Each clandestine US detention centre in Iraq had its own interrogation committee. Each one was made up of an intelligence officer and eight interrogators. These committees used various means of torture to make the detainees confess, including electricity, hanging them upside down, pulling out their nails, and beating them on their genitals.

The fifteen-month Guardian/BBC Arabic investigation was sparked by the release of classified US military logs on WikiLeaks which detailed hundreds of incidents where US soldiers came across tortured detainees in the secret network of US/Iraqi detention centres.

The US torture pattern in Iraq showed a clear parallel with the well-documented human rights abuses committed by US-advised and funded paramilitary squads in Central America in the 1980s. James Steele was head of a US team of special military advisers which trained units of El Salvador's security forces in 'counterinsurgency'. David Petraeus visited El Salvador in 1986 while Steele was there and became a major advocate of his 'counterinsurgency' methods.

Just before Petraeus and Steele left Iraq in September 2005, Jabr al-Solagh was appointed as the new Iraqi minister of the interior. Under Solagh, who was closely associated with the violent Badr Brigades militia, allegations of torture and brutality soared. The militia units had evolved into death squads.

High-ranking Iraqis who worked with the US after the invasion of Iraq warned Petraeus of the consequences of appointing Solagh. Their pleas were ignored. The resultant Iraqi civil war claimed tens of thousands of lives. At the height of the sectarian conflict, three thousand bodies a month were found strewn across the streets.

Above Petraeus, and actively supportive of his covert torture organisations in Iraq, was Donald Rumsfeld, the US Secretary of Defense from January 2001 to December 2006. Rumsfeld, it should not be forgotten, narrowly avoided arrest in Paris on war crimes charges, on Friday 26th October 2007. Only a desperate dash to the American embassy on the Avenue Gabriel saved him on that occasion.

Picture: Anonymous. The guilty must pay. 4.6GB of US bankster data released.

Picture: What is Peter Hans Kolvenbach doing in Lebanon? Jesuit infighting.

Picture: Another dodgy cardinal is crapped down the tube. Keith O'Brien.

On Sunday 24th February 2013, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh (Scotland), the UK's most senior Roman Catholic cleric, did not turn up for Mass at St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh as scheduled.

Intelligence surfaced in the Observer newspaper (London) that same morning that four complaints against O'Brien alleging inappropriate acts against three serving priests and a former priest during the 1980s had been received by the Vatican. The allegations are understood to have been of a homosexual nature.

On Monday 25th February 2013, O'Brien resigned with immediate effect following consultation with the Pope and the Vatican. He had been Archbishop since 1985.

Keith O'Brien's abrupt and unexpected departure left the Scottish Catholic Church confused, disoriented and shocked. Only three out of eight Roman Catholic dioceses in Scotland now have full-time, permanent bishops in charge. More disclosures are expected.

Late note: On Sunday 3rd March 2013, after a week of lies and evasions, and attempts to scare off the Observer newspaper (London) with 'legal action', a disgraced and humiliated Keith O'Brien was obliged to admit that he had been guilty of sexual misconduct throughout his career. He had persistently and covertly breached the Roman Catholic Church's strict rules on celibacy and homosexual activity.

Maybe try Romanism?
We are often asked by innocent, impressionable young people, with smartphones in their pockets and Rampant Rabbits in their sportsbags, what, exactly, we think of Roman Churchianity (also known as the Roman Catholic Church).

Our response to these enquiries is always measured, balanced and responsible.

We point out that although the quality of popes has declined recently, and there are no longer the fringe benefits for altar boys which once, in happier times, were enjoyed by many, Roman churchianity is still a hobby worthy of consideration, particularly by those with dark-side antiquarian interests.

If, for example, a modern young person is looking for religion rather than spirituality, then Roman churchianity may well be a live option.

Some well-informed, contemporary authorities say that Roman churchianity is church with the Christianity taken out, and a sprinkle of negative energy and spiritual fascism added in. This is a fair comment, but it is not the whole story.

Certainly, if guilt, sin, sectarianism and dogmatic-style unprotected sex are what you are looking for, then Roman churchianity may be right up your street.

But others say that Roman churchianity is not a thing to get involved with if you are of a nervous disposition and feel uncomfortable with a religion which apes the style of US foreign policy, i.e. one which combines fundamentalist mantras with an all-consuming desire to dominate the weak.

In our view, this is slightly unfair. Many people who, in past centuries, proudly attached their undergarments to the mast of Roman churchianity, have now been reincarnated into quite positive, fun-loving, New Age lives.

And it should not be forgotten, that Roman churchianity generates a good deal of helpful literature. We would notice especially, in this context, the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church. This is a well thought-out book which offers the informed reader many interesting old ideas which can form the basis for a lively, individuated, do-it-yourself church lifestyle. And the book also contains several interesting theories which can be useful as discussion-starters when having a drink with Muslim friends.

In this modern age, Roman churchianity needs all the help it can get. And it is getting a lot of help from the media. This popular support is to be welcomed and trusted. 

The federal government has no clothes

This information, if accepted, could cause serious shifts in power.

I plan on authoring a version more easily understood by those who have never learned legal terms. In the meantime, I really want to get this info out and let it grow on its own.

The bottom line... The US Congress is strictly limited in power unless you live on federal land. On federal land, Congress may pass any law they want WITHOUT LIMITATIONS.

If you live on federal land (Washington, DC) you must obey any law passed by Congress.
There are no limits on what Congress can tell DC citizens to do, except possibly, the bill of rights. If you do not live on, and weren't born on federal land, most federal laws do not apply to you.

All "unconstitutional" laws written by the US Congress apply to "US Citizens". The 14th amendment defines exactly who is a US citizen. Guess what? The commonly accepted meme for this definition is exactly backwards. Most people are NOT US Citizens.

The proof follows:

Please spread this info far and wide (anonymously). Even Supreme court decisions can be overturned with this info if it has enough popular support. Think "the emperor has no clothes.

I'll start with my conclusion: According to the 14th amendment most people are not citizens of the United States (federal government).

Examine the 14th amendment.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdictionthereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

The words "born or naturalized" and "subject to the jurisdiction" are linked with the word  "and". In legal language, both must be true for any text that follows (are citizens of the United States).

I was born in Mississippi on land not owned by the federal government.The land was not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" of the federal government, so the 14th amendment does not make me a US Citizen.

Why? I did not meet the "jurisdiction" requirement imposed by the word "and".

Your situation is probably the same.  People who are not United States Citizens are:

Those born or naturalized outside federally owned land.

The 14th amendment positively identifies those who must be United States Citizens but makes no statement about who is not a US Citizen.To be a US citizen, you must be born on federally owned land to be under the jurisdiction of Congress. If you are not under the jurisdiction of Congress when born or naturalized, you are not a citizen of the United States by virtue of the 14th amendment.

Here's my legal argument based on the Constitution itself.

Point 1: 

The term "and subject to the jurisdiction  thereof" absolutely proves the term "United States" refers to a government, not geography. Only a government can have jurisdiction. A "land mass" cannot have jurisdiction, since a land mass cannot write laws. Only governments write law.

Point 2:

The jurisdiction of the federal government, termed the "United States" is defined inArticle 1, Section 8, clause 17 of the Constitution.(No other place in the Constitution gives the federal government geographic jurisdiction. All other jurisdiction is limited to "granted powers" in clauses 1-16). 

Here's clause 17 from Article 1, Section 8. It is the only geographically defined jurisdiction in the Constitution...

"To exercise exclusive Legislation (jurisdiction) in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;"

If you weren't  born in Washington, D.C., federally managed territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa) or federally owned land (purchased from the States), the 14th amendment does not say  you are a United States Citizen.  

We can call ourselves "citizens of the United States of America", but that term doesn't imply jurisdiction. It's just a description of the Republic we were born into.

Again... a "land mass" does not write laws, so there is no "jurisdiction" implied by "United States of America". A land mass is not a government, and can pass no laws.

This gives us a clear rule to apply:

Laws written for "US Citizens" or "Citizens of the United States" do not apply to those born on land outside the geographical jurisdiction of the government called the "United States" (which is really the US Congress, since only they can write law). 

The geographic jurisdiction of the United States is Washington D.C. and  federally owned land, per the US Constitution. 

Any law written for US Citizens only applies to 14th amendment US Citizens, since this is the only place such citizenship is defined. The only exceptions to this are laws written to carry out Constitutionally granted powers like coining money and building postal roads. See Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution for a complete list. 

Even these laws are not enforceable if the law is overreaching to carry out a Constitutional duty. See the definition of necessary and proper.

This also solves the "Anchor baby" immigration problem.  If you aren't born on federal land, you are NOT a US Citizen.Illegal immigrant children could be a citizen of the State they were born in, but ONLY if both Congress sets that immigration rule, and the state is willing to grant citizenship as well.

Rebuttals  to popular claims against my arguments:

Aren't the several states in United States 'territory'?

Yes, but the 14th amendment is based on jurisdiction, not territory.

Isn't everyone under federal jurisdiction for Constitutionally granted powers of Congress?

If the 14th amendment omitted "in the United States", then only vague jurisdiction would apply. "in the United States" specifically refers to geography.  Since you must meet both the geographic and jurisdictional requirements of the 14th amendment, a simple test of jurisdiction doesn't make you a US Citizen.

Can Congress write laws to make you a citizen of the United States?

No law written by Congress can make you a US Citizen because any such law would be changing the jurisdiction defined in Article 1, Section 8, clause 17 of the Constitution. Congress can't change the Constitution by passing a law.  Redefining the Constitution requires an Amendment.

This is very well explained and should help people understand OPPT , from someone who was dubious who changed his mind,

OPPT or Co-opted? Look Before You Leap

Thanks for sharing your views. I must say that, at first, I didn’t like the idea of some trustees apparently making bold claims and decisions for me in something called a trust. However, I changed my mind.

I have done quite some research on the legal system, and wrote an article about the essential difference between Common Law and Roman-type civil law, which is the authority under which the legal system operates. The civil law system is organised top-down and thus you have by definition a ruler. The common law system is organised bottom-up and it derives its authority directly from We, The People:

http://www.tuks.nl/wiki/index.php/Main/TheFascinatingHistoryOfCivilLawVersusDivineCommonLaw

Now, my research shows that under current international Roman type Civil Law, virtually ALL Kings or Kingdoms – governments or states in modern language – are operated under the authority c.q. sovereignty of the Pope as the mediator between We, The People and God. So, in order to claim the freedom of all people on the planet, you, most of all, have to circumvent the (ultimate) authority of the Pope, which is a mere mediator between us and God. And, ultimately, the supposed authority of the Pope is a self-appointed authority, which is based on a falsification, the Donation of Constantine.

The way I see it, the OPPT, at its very core, invalidated the authority of the Pope and, thus, by extension, of the whole Roman type Civil law system. It claims that we, as a people, have no one to answer to but ourselves and the creator, and are essentially bound to common law, which is exactly the jurisdiction under which, not only the United States, but also the (former) Dutch Batavian and French Republics have been founded, even though the latter two have been overthrown by the defeat of Napoleon. Interestingly, the legal entity “Batavian Republic” still exists. It has essentially been occupied by a foreign entity, the Kingdom of The Netherlands, which derives its authority from the “holy and undivided trinity”, a.k.a. “the Vatican” and/or “The Pope”.

So, IMHO, the OPPT is essentially a global declaration of independence and a bill of rights. And since the declarations by the above-mentioned republics were legally valid, I see no reason why this one would not be legally valid. Yes, these republics filed their declarations in a different way, basically by publishing it and/or noticing their previous ruler which would be some king, but that does not mean that the way the OPPT published their declaration is invalid.

Now, of course, no one asked for your permission when founding any of the above-mentioned republics. However, none of these take away anything from you, especially regarding your rights. All they do is declare you to be free and answerable only to the creator. What you do with those rights is totally up to you.

In other words, the whole thing is most of all an idea. And the idea is that all people are created equal and free.

And I believe this is going to work, if only because of what Vicor Hugo said, “Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come.”

“human rights should be protected by the rule of law”

Civil, Roman type law, that is.

“no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.”

to which a person belongs….

So, I BELONG to to a “country or territory”??

“Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.”

rights GRANTED him by the constitution or by law??

Compare this with the Dutch declaration of human rights of 1795, as quoted in my article:

1. All Humans are born with equal Rights and these Natural Rights cannot be taken away from them [i.e., are inalienable].

We are BORN with equal, natural rights. These are not GRANTED by any kind of ruler, be it a constitution, a government or an international body.

THAT is what this (OPPT) is all about. The principle of BEing free instead of having been “granted” our freedom by someone/something that is by definition a ruler; a ruler, which has NO RIGHT to grant us anything which is already ours to begin with. Our BIRTHRIGHTS have been granted to us by our Creator, which indeed is one and the same idea on which the United States has been founded.

And, thus, it is indeed nothing new. All that happened is that this idea has been re-worded and re-claimed within a new document and under a new legal entity  which did not exist in the 1700′s.

ALERT: Head of US Government Legal System Spills the Beans…About Silver Manipulation

Bix Weir: ALERT: Head of US Government Legal System Spills the Beans…About Silver Manipulation

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Jean

Attorney General Eric Holder just testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the investigation into Silver Market Manipulation could not be prosecuted (or made public) because it would have too adverse of an effect on the Global Economic System…or something to that effect!
Eric Holder Admits Some Banks Are Just Too Big To Prosecute

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/06/eric-holder-banks-too-big_n_2821741.html

“I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them,” Mr. Holder told lawmakers. Prosecutors, he said, must confront the problem that “if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy. And I think that is a function of the fact that some of these institutions have become too large.”
“Mr. Holder, however defended his agency.  Federal prosecutors, he said, have been “as aggressive as they could be, brought cases where we think we could have brought them,” he said.”
“After the hearing, the panel’s top Republican, Sen.  Chuck Grassley of Iowa, issued a statement calling Mr. Holder’s remarks “stunning.” Mr. Holder ” recognized that in effect, the big banks and their senior executives have a get-out-of-jail-free card,” he said.”
NOTHING is by accident anymore and the huge increase in anti-bankster rhetoric and visibility lately is no exception. The facts surrounding the Silver Manipulation investigation are so blatant and so damaging to JP Morgan there is no other Road for the regulators to travel! That is WHY the case still hasn’t been dropped after 4 years. (Remember the head fake published in the Financial Times last August that charges were being dropped? Well, they never were! F-U…FT you criminal conspirators!)
For the ten thousandth time I’ll say it again…
The CFTC WILL bring the hammer down on the Silver Manipulators and Silver WILL finally be released from it’s shackles.
This is the will of “We The People” and we will NEVER give up until JUSTICE is served.
This is where this Road ENDS for the Bad Guys.

CIA murdered Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez?

PressTV: CIA murdered Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez?

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Jean

I believe I alluded to this possibility earlier this week . . . ~J
Thu Mar 7, 2013 5:34PM GMT
By Terrance Nelson
One man who was not afraid to travel was American Indian Movement leader Vernon Belcourt. Belcourt not only went to Venezuela and Cuba to meet the leadership of those nations, but he also met with Muammar Gaddafi. Vernon Belcourt died five years ago after traveling to Venezuela. On his death bed, Vernon Belcourt joked by saying, “the CIA finally got me”.
Related Interviews:

• ‘US likely infected Chavez with cancer’
• ‘Pro-Chavez party to win next elections’
•  
• I was in Iran five months ago in October 2012 and in Iraq in April 1998. I believe the death of Chavez is an assassination.

·        

·       Chavez was a leader who tried to free his people from the grip of people who will do anything to keep the consumer hostage. In the fall of 1998 oil was $15 a barrel and gasoline was 89 cents a gallon. I was called a dupe of Saddam by western media. We posted a video called A War On Children.

Our latest video is What Can You Buy With 5 Trillion Dollars Anything You Want April 2012. The key information in the new video is that $500 billion per year is paid by the United States to oil producing nations. In ten years, five trillion dollars will be paid to oil producing countries for foreign oil. The movement of trillions of American dollars to other countries is a great concern for the security of the United States.

What the world saw about the Iraq wars was the physical attacks but the real target was the economy of Iraq and the Iraqi Dinar. In 1990, prior to the first war the Iraq Dinar was worth three and half American dollars. By the time we got there in 1998, it took 1,450 Iraqi Dinars to buy one American dollar. Saddam Hussein was a homicidal maniac and a perfect foil to carry out an economic war against Iraq.

·       The current threat of war against Iran is touted as preventing Iran from acquiring the nuclear bomb. The real target however is the Iranian Rial, the currency that must be driven into oblivion in order to try and keep the American dollar safe. The killing of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi affects the value of the Libyan currency. The Arab Spring ensures the American dollar in those countries is wasted on infighting. The deaths in Syria is deliberate.

Last week, I was in South Dakota where we paid $3.85 per gallon of gasoline. Americans are extremely patriotic. President Obama in his Presidential debate with Mitt Romney said that the United States spends as much money on the military as the next ten largest military countries in the world combined. American do not question their government, they are held hostage to fear of the “terrorists”. Fear mongering keeps the world hostage to oil. Forbes just released the current list of the richest people in the world but the trend was well established years earlier.

As of 2007, the top 1% owned 34.6% of all privately held wealth, the next 19% had 50.5%, which means 20% of Americans owned 85% of all wealth in the United States. The bottom 80% of Americans had only 15% of the wealth in their control.

·       In December 1995, the United Nations released a study finding that 567,000 Iraqi children died in the first five years of economic sanctions. Few cared in the west about half a million dead Iraqi children, we just blamed Saddam. Today, the economic sanctions against Iran is causing untold deaths of Iranian people as Iran is forced to buy pharmaceuticals with cold hard American dollars. The economic sanctions against Iran is working. The target has always been the collapse of the Iranian economy, the fear of the Iranian bomb is just the ruse. Israel has 200 nuclear bombs, 100 of them target Iran. The deaths of millions of Iranians will not bother us here in Canada and United States, anymore than the deaths of millions of children dying in Iraq or in Africa. The death of Hugo Chavez will not cause America any grief, it is acceptable to most Americans.

Since the United States left Vietnam, the Vietnamese who suffered horrendous atrocities during the war have not killed any Americans. Left on their own, Vietnam has not sent terrorists across the ocean to kill Americans. Iran wants to avoid war with the United States. If the goal was peace, the United States would leave Iran alone or partner with them in stabilizing the Middle East. This will not happen anytime soon, the real target is to force Iran and other oil countries to spend their accumulated American currency. Chavez believed in freeing Venezuela from the grip of the IMF and American corporate greed. The death of Chavez is one of a long list of leaders who opposed the west. Democratic election does not ensure the respect of the Americans who feel threatened by leadership in other countries that want to free their people from international economic bondage. Drones are not the only means of assassination.

In the United States, Americans need to wake up, to question their government. The truth is that the Arabs and other oil producing countries are not the ones causing $4 a gallon gasoline in the United States. As long as Americans continue to see the world through the filtered bias of the major US news networks, there will be no sympathy for leaders like Chavez. Chavez is a hero to the people of Venezuela and to other nations wanting to free themselves from being held hostage to greed.

Chavez cannot Rest in Peace unless others take up his cause. As you hand over your money to the cashier for your gasoline, think about where the money you pay for gasoline goes. Think of the price paid by others for our dependency on foreign oil. First Nations in Canada also pay a price for American dependency upon foreign oil. In the Tarsands of Alberta, the environmental devastation of an area the size of France affects not only the land but every aspect of the lifestyle of indigenous people. Chavez sent fuel oil to poor Native Americans in the Dakotas. The same Dakotas today negotiate with the oil companies and governments that covet the Bakken oil fields.

·       A few years ago, I met with Venezuelan Embassy staff in Ottawa. Two other First Nations leaders bowed out of the meeting, their fear was tangible. One man who was not afraid to travel was American Indian Movement leader Vernon Belcourt. Belcourt not only went to Venezuela and Cuba to meet the leadership of those nations, but he also met with Muammar Gaddafi. Vernon Belcourt died five years ago after traveling to Venezuela. On his death bed, Vernon Belcourt joked by saying, “the CIA finally got me”.

Chavez was a hero. We wish the people of Venezuela peace and in their tears, that they remember Chavez’s death need not only be a matter of grief but a celebration for a man of courage who lived his life to the fullest. God will greet him with open arms.

Worst nightmare looming for Netanyahu

PressTV: Worst nightmare looming for Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Tue Mar 5, 2013 4:31AM GMT

• ‘US, Israel remembered in peace failure’
• ‘Netanyahu biggest loser on world stage’

The worst nightmare for Netanyahu’s autocratic rule of Israel has come, a forced visit by an American president with an agenda, an end to occupation of the West Bank, a fully operating independent Palestinian state by 2014 and more.

The president’s decision, after consultation with Democratic leaders in congress, including the Jewish caucus and Secretaries Kerry and Hegel, representing Departments of State and Defense, is primarily driven by economic issues.
Continuing a foreign policy predicated on unquestioning support for Israeli expansionism at the cost of American security and economic viability is no longer something Israel’s AIPAC lobby is capable of bullying and blackmailing American politicians into.
Netanyahu’s attempts to crush Obama have failed miserably while it is Netanyahu who is unable to put together a ruling coalition government after recent electoral reversals.
American focus
The projected dual focus of American foreign policy, toward both the Far East and Africa, has been deemed impossible until a Palestinian settlement is in place and relations with Iran have been stabilized and Iran is released from crippling sanctions.
The 176 to 6 vote in the UN General Assembly on December 4, 2012, passing a resolution demanding inspection of Israeli nuclear facilities had left the United States in an untenable situation.
Citing Iran for “possible violations” while recent intelligence has now undeniably confirmed, not just Israel’s illegal nuclear arsenal but has tied Netanyahu personally to an espionage ring inside the US responsible for the theft of nuclear triggers and their illegal transfer to Israel.
Israeli response
Israeli sources, quoted in the World Tribune stated today:
“Obama has made it clear to Netanyahu that his visit is not about photo-ops, but the business of Iran and a Palestinian state. The implication is that if Israel won’t give him something he can work with, then he’ll act on his own.
The Obama people are making this a litmus test of Netanyahu’s leadership and credibility. Obama supporters in Congress have sent Netanyahu a similar message.”
Netanyahu’s options
Netanyahu faces the toughest political battle of his career. Despite the two-week extension from President Simon Perez, Netanyahu has been unable to assemble a working coalition government.
The primary stumbling block for Netanyahu is finding political parties willing to begin dismantling settlements in the West Bank, over a half million Israeli Jews living illegally on land under military occupation.
It is Netanyahu’s job to convince Israelis that he can deceive the United States by dismantling settlements in peripheral areas that are difficult to supply and defend while hoping for “lightning” to strike.
The events on 9/11, 2001 were a form of “lightning,” a serendipitous “terror attack” that began a worldwide war on Islam, a war that left many regional leaders either clinging to Israel’s “skirts” like frightened children or subject to the wrath of America’s “shock and awe.”
No one has ever officially noted the curious fact that only Israel benefitted from 9/11. Canada only this week affirmed that asking such a question was, in itself, considered an “act of terrorism.”
Unreported around the world

The story of the Obama mission was first reported by the World Tribune. However, there was not sufficient credible basis for moving forward with the story until Israel’s own Ynet News Service carried the story itself. (http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4351970,00.html)

In fact, there is no reporting of this story whatsoever in the Washington Post and reporting in the New York Times characterizes the president’s upcoming visit to Israel as one of “giving assurances and issuing threats to Iran.”
There are no reports whatsoever in British papers, none of the upcoming Obama visit to Israel nor of defense cutbacks or moves to redress illegal settlements in the West Bank.
American television news has not noticed the story whatsoever.
Cutback of US aid
With $46 billion in Pentagon cuts being implemented this week due to “sequestration,” military aid to nations in the Middle East, Israel, Jordan and Egypt, will be reduced. In response, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak arrived in Washington today for talks with Defense Secretary Hagel, whose confirmation he attempted to block only days before.
Israeli Ambassador and “former” Mossad spymaster, Michael Oren is quoted:
“The Israeli embassy still doesn’t know what will be the extent of the sequester, the aid to Israel is included in the federal budget. Just as this budget is cut, so can the aid to Israel.”
Naval forces in gulf “halved”
Defense Secretary Hagel has announced that the nuclear supercarrier, USS Harry Truman will not be deploying to the Persian Gulf as previously scheduled.
That will leave only one carrier available, a 50% reduction in naval forces in the region. GOP lawmakers cite the threat to Israel Iran poses if America is to reduce its carrier presence.
The lawmakers, part of the Pro-Israeli Republican Party, cite President Obama’s purposeful focus on endangering Israel as a way of punishing political enemies who forced the US into the unwieldy austerity plan known as “sequestration.”
Further military cuts will include an end to all Army training except for troops already stationed in Afghanistan.

The “invisible policy change”

A philosopher once asked the question: “If a tree fell in the forest, and no one was around, would it make a sound?”

Thus, we may now ask, if a change in American policy moves forward and no one is told and nothing is reported, can the policy have a real impact?

In this case, our question is one of substance: “Can a sovereign Palestinian state be established with respected and defensible frontiers, a state like all others if a massive program of planet wide censorship and factual distortion suppresses all reporting?

To Americans, there is no election struggle in Israel, as the totally unreported crisis doesn’t exist where it cannot be written nor spoken of.

Similarly, the change in recent days regarding Iran’s nuclear program, systems only a week ago designated as “military” are now “medical.”

One might also ask; “If some sanctions can be lifted as ‘unsupportable’ for reason of fact, why do others remain?”

A curious anomaly: Justice Dept. files brief supporting legality of photographing and videoing police activity in public

A curious anomaly: Justice Dept. files brief supporting legality of photographing and videoing police activity in public

Proving that even the worst administration in history can occasionally do something decent, the Justice Department has filed a brief stating in part, "It is now settled law that the First Amendment protects individuals who photograph or otherwise record officers engaging in police activity in a public place", and cited a 2011 precedent: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obama Administration supports journalist who was arrested after recording cops Government brief argues arrest violated Maryland man's constitutional rights. by Timothy B. Lee - Mar 8 2013 The Obama Administration has filed a brief in support of a Maryland photojournalist who says he was arrested and beaten after he took photographs of the police arresting two other men. The brief by the Justice Department argues that the US Constitution protects the right to photograph the actions of police officers in public places and prohibits police officers from arresting journalists for exercising those rights. The lawsuit arose from a June 2011 altercation in which photojournalist Mannie Garcia witnessed Montgomery County police arresting "two young Hispanic men" in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. Concerned that the police were using "excessive force," Garcia says he pulled out his camera and began photographing the scene from a distance of about 30 feet. Garcia says that when Officer Christopher Malouf approached him, Garcia identified himself as a member of the press held up his hands to show he was only holding a camera. But Malouf "placed Mr. Garcia in a choke hold and dragged him across the street to his police cruiser," where he "subjected him to verbal and physical abuse." According to Garcia's complaint, Malouf "forcibly dragged Mr. Garcia across the street, throwing him to the ground along the way, inflicting significant injuries." Garcia says Malouf "kicked his right foot out from under him, causing Mr. Garcia to hit his head on the police cruiser while falling to the ground." Garcia claims that Malouf took the video card from Garcia's camera and put it in his pocket. The card was never returned. Garcia was charged with disorderly conduct. In December 2011, a judge found Garcia not guilty. After the Montgomery County Police Department failed to discipline the officers, Garcia filed a civil rights lawsuit against Montgomery County and the police officers involved in his arrest. ~~~~~ CONTINUE AT: ~~~~~ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/obama-administration-supports-journalist-arrested-after-recording-cops/
