CIA Breaks With Obama


CIA Breaks With Obama, Vows To Help Russia Defeat ISIL/ISIS

September 20, 2015
Sorcha Faal

A startling new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) states the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has “broken contact” with President Obama and has begun providing Russia with highly classified intelligence/satellite reports on Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) bases in Syria.  

According to this report, and confirmed by the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, top CIA officials requested and received an immediate meeting with their SVR counterparts in Moscow this past Wednesday (16 September) where they pledged to assist Russia in defeating ISIL/ISIS and stated that their reason for doing so was in order to prevent an all-out war from occurring in this region between NATO and Russian forces.



This SVR report notes that they were told by their CIA counterparts that all of these American intelligence agents were “appalled” by the Obama regimes refusal to accept from Russia a massive list of known/suspected Islamic terrorists on the grounds that it was not “politically viable in the present atmosphere” to accept help from President Putin in protecting both America and Europe from these terrorists who are now entering these countries by the tens-of-thousands disguised as refugees. 

Further angering the CIA, this report continues, was the stunning revelation last week of an “intelligence revolt” in the American military when 50 of these spies publically stated that their honest assessment of the ISIS war were instead being turned into happy talk by the Obama regime to keep the American people from knowing the truth about the grave situation currently unfolding in the Middle East.  

Even more stunning, this report notes, these angry CIA agents meeting with the SVR confirmed that the Obama regimes efforts to build an anti-ISIL/ISIS counterforce in Syria was so inept that after spending $500 million, there are only 5 of these fighters reported to be trained.



To how critical to Russia’s efforts to destroy ISIL/ISIS forces in Syria this meeting/agreement with these CIA officials was, this report says, was evidenced by President Obama’s statements before it when he warned on 11 September that Moscow’s strategy was “doomed to fail”, a “big mistake”, and in a patronizing little addendum said President Putin was “going to have to start getting a little smarter”.

However, this report continues, immediately after the CIA met with the SVR, President Obama changed his course and ordered his Defense Secretary to start contact with Russia military officials to try to coordinate actions in the war zone. 

Where this latest development of the CIA now actively assisting Russian military forces in Syria will lead, this report queries, is still not known as the Obama regime has not been known for showing consistency in anything…rather they have, instead, along with their allies, continued their rampage destroying the Middle East which has collapsed the nations of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen and Egypt leading to hundreds-of-thousands dead and fleeing from this needless genocide.  

And to the difference between Russia and the Obama regimes military involvement in Syria, this report reminds its readers, Russian military involvement is due to the fact that they were actually invited as they have a longstanding mutual defense pact with Syria…which they will not only honor, but will send as many troops as needed to defeat ISIL/ISIS should Syria ask for them so that no more American soldiers have to die.

The Fundamentals of US Surveillance

The Fundamentals of US Surveillance: What Edward Snowden Never Told Us?

snowden spying
By Janet Phelan

Former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden’s revelations rocked the world. According to his detailed reports, the US had launched massive spying programs and was scrutinizing the communications of American citizens in a manner which could only be described as extreme and intense.

The US’s reaction was swift and to the point. “Nobody is listening to your telephone calls,” President Obama said when asked about the NSA. As quoted in The Guardian, Obama went on to say that surveillance programs were “fully overseen not just by Congress but by the Fisa court, a court specially put together to evaluate classified programs to make sure that the executive branch, or government generally, is not abusing them”.

However, it appears that Snowden may have missed a pivotal part of the US surveillance program. And in stating that the “nobody” is not listening to our calls, President Obama may have been fudging quite a bit.

In fact, Great Britain maintains a “listening post” at NSA HQ. The laws restricting live wiretaps do not apply to foreign countries and thus this listening post is not subject to US law. In other words, the restrictions upon wiretaps, etc. do not apply to the British listening post. So when Great Britain hands over the recordings to the NSA, technically speaking, a law is not being broken and technically speaking, the US is not eavesdropping on our each and every call.

It is Great Britain which is doing the eavesdropping and turning over these records to US intelligence.

According to John Loftus, formerly an attorney with the Department of Justice and author of a number of books concerning US intelligence activities, back in the late seventies the USDOJ issued a memorandum proposing an amendment to FISA. 

Loftus, who recalls seeing the memo, stated in conversation this week that the DOJ proposed inserting the words “by the NSA” into the FISA law so the scope of the law would only restrict surveillance by the NSA, not by the British. Any subsequent sharing of the data culled through the listening posts was strictly outside the arena of FISA.

Obama was less than forthcoming when he insisted that “What I can say unequivocally is that if you are a US person, the NSA cannot listen to your telephone calls, and the NSA cannot target your emails … and have not.”

According to Loftus, the NSA is indeed listening as Great Britain is turning over the surveillance records en masse to that agency. Loftus states that the arrangement is reciprocal, with the US maintaining a parallel listening post in Great Britain.

In an interview this past week, Loftus told this reporter that he believes that Snowden simply did not know about the arrangement between Britain and the US. As a contractor, said Loftus, Snowden would not have had access to this information and thus his detailed reports on the extent of US spying, including such programs as XKeyscore, which analyzes internet data based on global demographics, and PRISM, under which the telecommunications companies, such as Google, Facebook, et al, are mandated to collect our communications, missed the critical issue of the FISA loophole.

Under PRISM, said Snowden, the US has “deputized” corporate telecoms to do its dirty work for them. PRISM, declared Snowden was indeed about content, rather than metadata.

However, other reports indicated that PRISM was not collecting telephone conversations and was only collecting targeted internet communications. 

The most detailed description of the PRISM program was released in a report from the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) on July 2, 2014. The report disclosed that “ these internet communications are not collected in bulk, but in a targeted way: only communications that are to or from specific selectors, like e-mail addresses, can be gathered. 

Under PRISM, there’s no collection based upon keywords or names.”( (Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, Report on the Surveillance Program Operated Pursuant to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, July 2, 2014).

U.S. government officials have defended the program by asserting it cannot be used on domestic targets without a warrant. But once again, the FISA courts and their super-secret warrants do not apply to foreign government surveillance of US citizens. 

So all this sturm and drang about whether or not the US is eavesdropping on our communications is, in fact, irrelevant and diversionary.

Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, which authorized extensive surveillance capabilities, expired in June of 2015. Within one day, it was replaced by the misnamed USA Freedom Act. In a widely disseminated tweet, President Obama stated “Glad the Senate finally passed the USA Freedom Act. It protects civil liberties and our national security.”

In fact, the USA Freedom Act reinstituted a number of the surveillance protocols of Section 215, including authorization for roving wiretaps and tracking “lone wolf terrorists.” 

While mainstream media heralded the passage of the bill as restoring privacy rights which were shredded under 215, privacy advocates have maintained that the bill will do little, if anything, to reverse the surveillance situation in the US. 

The NSA went on the record as supporting the Freedom Act, stating it would end bulk collection of telephone metadata.

However, in light of the reciprocal agreement between the US and Great Britain, the entire hoopla over NSA surveillance, Section 215, FISA courts and the USA Freedom Act could be seen as a giant smokescreen. 

If Great Britain is collecting our real time phone conversations and turning them over to the NSA, outside the realm or reach of the above stated laws, then all this posturing over the privacy rights of US citizens and surveillance laws expiring and being resurrected doesn’t amount to a hill of CDs.

The NSA was contacted with a query about the GB listening post, as was British intelligence. A GCHQ spokesperson stated: “Our response is that we do not comment on intelligence matters.” The NSA also declined to comment.

Obama’s “Secret” Gun Control Must be STOPPED!


Obama’s “Secret” Gun Control Must be STOPPED!

Sign the Petition here – 
 
Dear Fellow Patriot,
 
If you're a gun owner, then you are well aware that President Obama’s recent push for new stricter "gun control" laws and national gun registries have failed. This has led many of our fellow gun owners to believe the WAR ON GUNS is over...but don't be fooled
 
In his State-of-the-Union Address, Obama said he would continue his gun control efforts “with or without Congress” and he has followed through with that promise. Over the past couple years, he has used multiple secret, backdoor methods to limit your rights to own certain types of firearms and ammunition… And more of these tactics are on the way. 
 
 
Below are just a few of the alarming tools and tactics that Obama has used to implement his secret gun control program:
  • Executive Actions – Obama has proven with Immigration that Executive Actions are his favorite tool for circumventing Congress. This is also true with gun control. He’s already signed several and more are on the way!
  • Artificial Ammo Shortages- he has used the enormous buying power of the Federal government to limit the supply of ammo for everyday gun owners.
  • Environmental Protection – Obama used the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to force the closure of a lead smelting plant that is integral in the ammunition production industry. This closure now gives Obama the ability to use trade policies and tariffs on imported lead to control ammo production in the U.S.
  • Obamacare Provisions – Little known provisions in Obamacare has allowed the “legal” confiscation of hundreds of thousands of firearms from law-abiding Americans (many veterans). This is an outrage!
As you can tell, Obama has an array of tools and tactics at his disposal to implement gun control without Congressional approval or oversight
 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely

The Agenda 21 Enslavement of Colorado: You Are Next

The Agenda 21 Enslavement of Colorado: You Are Next

Saturday, September 19, 2015 13:14
 
 
CSS Offical-New-Logo2
Agenda-21-Is-Evil
The Koch brothers, Pat Stryker, Governor Hickenlooper and many of the Colorado Front Range mayors are all spearheading a movement to enslave the people of Colorado under the dictates of the United Nations created and inspired Agenda 21. Colorado, along with a 15 county area in Northern California and Southern Oregon comprise the beta test for Agenda 21 control over our most precious resources, namely, our water and our farmland.

 

The Koch Brothers Spearhead the Agenda 21 Takeover of Colorado

The Koch brothers have accomplished nothing. The brothers inherited their immense wealth from their father, Soviet oilman Fred Koch. Yet, these entitled Koch brothers feel they should have the right to dictate to everyone else how they should live.
Stalin actually brought in Fred Koch in order to develop the Soviet Union’s oil industry and now the sins of the father are being visited upon Fred’s sons as they are bringing a virulent form of communism to Colorado.
Koch Industries is the second largest corporation in the United States and true to form, they have no scruples. The Koch brothers are so corrupt they have been caught stealing oil from protected Indian lands. This should be a hint to the people of Colorado as to what lies in their immediate future.
The Koch brothers espouse the Agenda 21 belief that you do not control your wealth, land, food, water and air, the state does on behalf of the corporations that they serve. For example, the Koch brothers are attacking social security. They have spent $29 million dollars to put forth the propaganda that social security is broke. It is only broke because Congress keeps raiding the funds. The Koch brothers want the retirement age to go to 70 years of age. They want to get their greedy hands on social security so that they can invest the funds on Wall Street, thus, risking everyone’s social security retirement funds.

 

Colorado Climate Project

The Rocky Mountain Climate Organization (RMCO) launched the Colorado Climate Project, to bring Coloradans together to reduce the state’s contribution and vulnerability to a changed climate. In the process of enforcing their Agenda 21 inspired policies, Colorado’s farmers and ranchers are under attack. Click here to read the Project’s mission statement. The project followed the model established by several state governments, including those in Arizona, New Mexico, and Montana, but was the first such project undertaken as a private initiative. Clickhere to learn more about the process the Project followed, including the role of the Climate Action Panel.

Project Directors

RMCO’s project directors appointed the members of the Climate Action Panel, received its final report, and serve as key public spokespersons about the Colorado Climate Project and its recommendations. The project directors are:
  • John Hickenlooper, Governor of Colorado
  • Steve Burkholder, mayor of Lakewood
  • Doug Hutchinson, mayor of Fort Collins
  • Tom Long, Summit County Commissioner
  • Matt Baker, director of Environment Colorado
  • Tom Clark, executive vice president of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation
  • Former U.S. Senator Gary Hart, the Wirth Chair Professor at the University of Colorado-Denver
  • Gail Klapper, director of the Colorado Forum
  • Pat Vincent, president of the Public Service Company of Colorado (an Xcel Energy company).
  • Al Yates, former president of Colorado State University.

 

Project Sponsors

The principal sponsors of the Agenda 21 takeover of Colorado includes the Denver Water Board, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Pat Stryker, the City of Aspen, BP America, the Koch brothers and the Rockefeller Family Fund.
Because of the Colorado Climate Change and their unwarranted influence, Colorado farmers are losing more and more of their farmland. The State Legislature and the Colorado Supreme Court are forcing Colorado farmers to forsake the use of well water in the irrigation of their crops during a period of prolonged drought. They have ordered the shutdown of 440 wells. Colorado farmland is drying up, crop yield is down and many farmers are facing ruination. This is classic Agenda 21 in which the only ones who should be able to farm in rural areas are the large corporate farms and the government. Under this group it is illegal to trap rainwater, reuse irrigation water and 50% of all farmland cannot be tilled under their proposals. We are talking about the complete destruction of Colorado farming and the absolute installment of Agenda 21 policies in the state.

 

Colorado Gun Confiscation

Colorado is also the site of some of the most contentious gun control legislation in the country. These same forces are going after the guns of Colorado residents. Two state legislators have already been recalled and removed from office for supporting the anti-Second Amendment forces of these Agenda 21 groups.
Senator Evie Hudak has been one of the principals trying to ban guns in Colorado. Subsequently there have been efforts to recall this third anti-gun politician. Rather than face a recall election, Hudak abruptly resigned. Hudak is a piece of work. She is despised by Second Amendment supporters for having callously dismissed the testimony of a rape survivor during a legislative hearing in an extreme example of depraved indifference.
In an effort to get Hudak recalled, Colorado activists have experienced extreme harassment, even stalking, with the tacit approval of local law enforcement.
Activist, Mike McAlpine, who headed up the Hudak recall effort, stated that  “We have multiple cars monitoring us at our offices and filming us from the parking lot.”  McAlpine went on to say that “This is not a one-off event. We hold sign-and-drive events on the sidewalks near to busy intersections, and we hold signs inviting people to pull over and sign the petition. Our opponents have taken to blocking us: as cars pull in, they run up to the driver’s side door and physically stand next to the door so that the person inside cannot open the door and come outside.”
McAlpine further stated that “… opponents have formed human chains in order to block anyone who wants to sign. “They yell at the person while they’re at the table trying to sign, or blow an airhorn in their ear. There have been a half-dozen examples of that. In addition, when we go out to knock on doors and present the petition, they will follow us down the sidewalk and scream and yell.”
This is where this gets very interesting. The Climate Change Project is involved and they are using their thug contacts, which helped to propel Obama into the White house.
These radical leftist groups have poured a lot of money into the state. “Legal filings reveal that the Democracy Defense Fund, which opposed the recall, received $25,000 from the National Education Association, $10,000 from SEIU, and $5,000 from the Colorado AFL-CIO. Records show that, by yesterday, Democracy Defense Fund had received $120,000. “

 

Colorado Law Enforcement Runs Interference for the Agenda 21 Forces Invading Colorado

McAlpine states that local law enforcement refuses to respond to the allegations of harassment, intimidation and stalking. He further states that “Our City Hall and the Department of Motor Vehicles, both of which are public institutions…” and, “The police have escorted our people off of those locations with the explicit reason that they would arrest us if we came back because we were asking government employees for signatures, and that is illegal.”  Yet, other groups are permitted to circulate petitions in the same proximity. What we have here is a case of the police protecting the illegal harassment activities of the anti-gun forces in Colorado. Meanwhile, McAlpine states that “We stay 100 feet from the entrance to be approximately safe, “nonetheless, the city has deployed the police to escort us off the premises with the direct threat that they will arrest us next time.”
IN ITS TOTALITY, THE HUNGER GAMES COULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN COLORADO. DENVER IS CAPITOL CITY AND THE REST OF US PEASANTS LIVE IN THE OUTLYING DISTRICTS WHILE THE STORM TROOPERS RULE OVER US.

 

Conclusion

The Agenda 21 forces are ruining farmland, lessening crop production, denying lawful access to water and breaking the law in opposing the pro Second Amendment supporters and their legitimate political activities.
Colorado is a beta test for the rest of the nation. If the Koch brothers and their Agenda 21 allies get their way in Colorado, they will undoubtedly unleash this tyranny across the country.
 
 

BREAKING NEWS: Eiffel Tower is closed to visitors after terror suspect 'with large rucksack' is seen ascending France's most famous attraction

BREAKING NEWS: Eiffel Tower is closed to visitors after terror suspect 'with large rucksack' is seen ascending France's most famous attraction

  • The landmark attraction was today shut to visitors due to a terrorism scare
  • Anti-terrorist police were supported by a helicopter following 9am alarm
  • A police source said they had received report of a man carrying a rucksack

The Eiffel Tower was shut to all visitors today after a terrorist suspect with ‘a large rucksack’ was seen ascending France’s most popular tourist attraction.
Anti-terrorist police supported by a helicopter could be seen at the iconic landmark following the alarm being raised at around 9am.
‘There’s been a report of a man with a rucksack,’ said a police source assisting with the evacuation of the tower.
The Eiffel Tower was shut to all visitors today due to a terrorism scare amid reports of a man seen carrying a rucksack. File image used

The unidentified man was seen in the tower at least an hour before it opened, said another police source. By early afternoon, he had still not been found.
Hundreds of people were already waiting to go up, but were told to vacate the area, as ticket booths were shut.
The tower has frequently been threatened by terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda and ISIS, with security stepped up since attacks by three radical Islamist gunmen in the city in January.
A police cordon was formed around the tower and people were moved to the banks of the nearby River Seine.
There have been numerous bomb alerts at the Eiffel Tower in recent years, and France is currently on the highest state vigilance alert.
But as today’s hunt for the man continued, police did not rule out the possibility that he might be an extreme parachutist hoping to jump off the structure.
‘It’s happened in the past,’ said the same police source. ‘The parachutist hides his kit the night before, and then gets into the tower and jumps off, while videoing.’
In 2005, a Norwegian parachutist died while attempting to jump off the tower.
The 1,050ft tall iron lattice tower was built for the 1889 World’s Fair, and soon turned into a prestige symbol of modern France.
It is the most visited paid-for monument in the world, with some 7million people a year going up it.
For all these reasons, French security officials frequently highlight the tower’s vulnerability to terrorist attack.
 

North Carolina Police Chief Fired for Calling Black Lives Matter A “Terrorist Goup”

by New American | C. Mitchell Shaw | September 20, 2015

Police Chief Mike Halstead in Surf City, North Carolina, was forced to retire after posting a statement to his private Facebook page calling the Black Lives Matter movement “an American born terrorist group.”
Chief Halstead made the post on September 3, and it came to the attention of Surf City Mayor Zander Guy a few days later. The mayor called an emergency meeting of the town leaders on Tuesday and the town told Halstead that if he did not retire, he would be fired. He retired and took 60 days’ severance.
In his post, Halstead said that the issue is not entirely about race — despite the claims of the BlackLivesMatter movement, and prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farrakhan. He insisted instead that it is about a war on police brought about in large part by Black Lives Matter and helped along by media coverage and federal policies and statements by President Obama. He wrote:

Open letter from a Police Chief , this Black Lives Matter group is nothing more than an American born terrorist group brought on by the lie of the hands up don’t shoot during the criminal thug Michael Brown incident. The FBI and other Government Law Enforcement groups need to step up and put a stop to this. The Government and blacks would not tolerate the White Supremacist group to march through the streets and call for the murders of a race of people and a group of public servants. I agree there is a race problem in this country. It is not brought on by police officer doing their sworn duty, it is brought on by the government, the President and his cronies Al Sharpton, who is a criminal tax evader (but has the support of our so called President), Jessi Jackson, Eric Holder and that ignorant S.O.B. Farrakhan who should be charged with solicitation for murder, lord knows a white man would be arrested for the same actions of idiot Farakhan. I am sure there are many hard working Black people who will agree with me. I have been a Police Officer for 35 years. I do not judge anyone by the color of their skin, but by there actions. A criminal is a criminal whether a police officer or any other profession. I will not state statistics because black lives matter do not care or believe proven statistics. I put allot of the blame for these cop murders on the media and the way they report police related shootings. There is no need to list or even state the race of a person shot by the police. It is more important to wait for the facts and report those. But and a big but that does not make money for these greedy media a[**] h[***]s. When a black thug is killed by the police they are all over it as is Mr. Barack Obama. However when a police officer white, black or any race is murdered for doing his job the media is short with it’s reporting or not at all. When a white person is killed by a black officer you hear nothing. Has our so called President spoke publicly about these murders of police officers by blacks, HELL NO he has not. Step up Mr. President, or step down because we do not need you. Has our Attorney General spoke against these murders, no of course not because she was appointed by Barack Obama. Now let me say this, and this is not a threat but common knowledge. I have instructed my officers to be vigilant, if threatened take appropriate action. If that means shoot a thug, then do it and answer for it while you are still alive not dead. Law Enforcement is fed up with this murderous society who want to take out those who protect and serve. Imagine if all law enforcement shut down for just 1 day. There would be murders, rapes, robberies, you name it. America wake up, all of you black, white, Mexican whatever you need the police, we do not need you. End this Black Lives Matter bull s[**]t and start a movement that all lives matter. As for the New Black Panther movement who wants to kill whites and cops, go for it, we are ready for you. You take one of us and there will be 100 who will step up and end you. This letter is not meant to offend anyone, just the feelings of a man who has spent the last 35 years of his life serving and protecting, for what so a thug can take it or to be treated as a criminal by the very people I swore to protect. Let’s get this around folks so maybe our President and the media will get a wake up call. Be safe all of my Brothers and Sisters in blue, not white, black, yellow or brown BLUE.

75% in U.S. See Widespread Government Corruption

(That is just a poll, or it is the numbers for Execution after the Pope is here!)
 

75% in U.S. See Widespread Government Corruption

This figure is up from two in three in 2007 (67%) and 2009 (66%)

75% in U.S. See Widespread Government Corruption
by Gallup | September 20, 2015 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Three in four Americans (75%) last year perceived corruption as widespread in the country’s government. This figure is up from two in three in 2007 (67%) and 2009 (66%).
Is corruption widespread throughout the government in this country, or not?
While the numbers have fluctuated slightly since 2007, the trend has been largely stable since 2010. However, the percentage of U.S. adults who see corruption as pervasive has never been less than a majority in the past decade, which has had no shortage of controversies from the U.S. Justice Department’s firings of U.S. attorneys to the IRS scandal.

corruptionSTORYFINAL

These figures are higher than some might expect, and while the lack of improvement is somewhat disconcerting, the positive takeaway is that Americans still feel fairly free to criticize their government. This is not the case in some parts of the world. Questions about corruption are so sensitive in some countries that even if Gallup is allowed to ask them, the results may reflect residents’ reluctance to disparage their government. This is particularly true in countries where media freedom is restricted.

Cuban President Raul Castro welcomed Pope Francis in a long speech at the airport

Castro Praises Pope's Anti-capitalism Stance 
by Washington Examiner | Robert King | September 20, 2015 

Pope Francis has arrived in Havana this afternoon and starts a historic 10-day visit to Cuba and the United States, according to reports.
Cuban President Raul Castro welcomed Pope Francis in a long speech at the airport. In his speech, Castro said the communist government has “founded an equitable society with social justice” in Cuba and he praised the pope’s critiques of the global economic system that has “globalized capital and turned money into its idol.”
Castro thanked the pope for facilitating negotiations that led to a detente between the United States and Cuba. Castro is also calling for the end of the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba, which he called “cruel, immoral and illegal,” and the return of the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
Castro praised his country’s socialist model for building a society “focused on human beings and the family” and said he’s “firmly determined to … build a just and virtuous society with high ethical and spiritual values.”

Coca-Cola Says IRS Is Demanding $3.3 Billion in Taxes Following Audit

Coca-Cola Says IRS Is Demanding $3.3 Billion in Taxes Following Audit

Agency wants more money for global sales

Coca-Cola Says IRS Is Demanding $3.3 Billion in Taxes Following Audit
by Bloomberg | September 20, 2015 

Coca-Cola Co. received notice from the Internal Revenue Service that it owes about $3.3 billion in extra taxes, plus interest, becoming the latest global company to clash with the agency over profits booked in foreign countries.
The IRS’s move follows an audit of the tax years 2007 through 2009, Coca-Cola said in a regulatory filing posted Friday. The IRS hasn’t demanded any penalties, and the beverage giant said it believes the assessment is without merit. The agency told Coca-Cola that the matter has been brought to the IRS’s top lawyer with the recommendation that it be litigated, according to the filing.
Coca-Cola is one of several large American corporations to get embroiled with the IRS over profits recorded in foreign countries, which critics say can unfairly shield money from U.S. taxes. The IRS also is fighting with Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. on their intracompany transactions. Coca-Cola’s dispute centers on licensing of properties to foreign-based businesses, which manufacture, distribute and sell products.

The Shemitah Did Not Happen As Expected…Why?

The Shemitah Did Not Happen As Expected…Why?

The Shemitah DID NOT Happen As Expected…Why?
By Israel Ben Barzle And Yehoshua Ben Barzle



Many of us have been baffled by the non-event of the Shemitah of 2015. I am sure that there are those who have thrown up their hands and said to themselves “this whole Shemitah thing is a bunch of Bravo Sierra”!
Unfortunately, the information you have received prior to the Shemitah of 2015 was incomplete. Writers like Johnathan Cahn and others have done an outstanding job at bringing the subject of the Shemitah and some of its nuances to light, but they have focused primarily on symptomatic issues, various causes, and how this all fits into past history.
Though much of the information presented by these writers is right on the money, what these writers have not done is viewed the Shemitah in the context of how it really works in the biblical sense as a mechanism of legal justice. This is a critical point of the Shemitah, otherwise what happens is we get stuck focusing in on the various shades of law versus the ultimate legal verdict.
The word “Shemitah” is a legal term that comes from the Torah of Moses, the first five books of the Scriptures. Shemitah in the Hebrew means a “legally permanent release”. The root idea of the word Shemitah in the Hebrew means to “violently throw something down with force—to utterly destroy something”. To a biblical court of Law, the Shemitah was a time-sensitive, permanent legal release that was to absolutely abolish whatever legal issue was at stake.
To those of us here in America we have witnessed some of the financial aspects of the Shemitah at work firsthand. The most recent economic crashes of 2001 and 2008 on the specific Jewish calendar date of Elul 29 has led many to a keen interest in the Shemitah cycles and its potential impact on our markets. The pattern we have seen in the past Shemitah seven year cycles was perfect, precise, very Torah, very much like how the Creator always does things: with absolute precision. To anyone with any sense of mathematical probability, there is no way you could have had multiple consecutive economic hits to the American economy on the same critical Shemitah date, Elul 29, as outlined in the Biblical Laws of the Shemitah seven year cycle. It is statistically impossible.
So, if the pattern were to continue on consistently, a major economic shake up, one of greater severity than the past cycles, should have happened on or right around Elul 29 (Friday or Monday) in order to properly fulfill the biblical outlines of the Shemitah as we have seen them done in the last two cycles (2001 and 2008). Again, the Creator is a precise being. He does not play games; nor does He just make it up as He goes. He has placed certain laws at work that function perfectly towards a perfect outcome.
OK then…what’s up? Why no huge economic correction on or prior to Elul 29, 2015? It came and went and nothing really happened???
Let’s answer these questions with another foundational question: why is a seven year cycle of debt release even necessary?



Why A Shemitah?
When a corporate nation of people have a Judeo, G-d of Abraham legacy, such as ancient Israel, and such as the United States of America, the Creator has a unique economic outline for their financial dealings. The Scriptures spell out in detail how that nation is to conduct its business affairs corporately and personally. This economic outline is based on a precise seven year business cycle. When that seven year cycle is complete, any financial debt is zeroed out, and a new cycle commences with everyone, including the nation itself, having a clean slate.
Unfortunately, as good as this system sounds, and as much sense as it makes, greed, in the end, usually wins out—and perpetual debt is “the” vehicle of greed. It is very difficult for greed to get much traction in a seven year business cycle that zeros out and starts over. Biblically this is why it was designed this way. The Shemitah, in essence, was purposely designed by G-d for His people to keep greed, and the accompanying debt, from overtaking the society. This was to be done in complete contrast to the pagan world which relished in greed and debt, and eventually imploded on itself every time.
In the past, both in ancient Israel and in America, debt has played a key part in the fate of the nation. In both, we see debt based boom-bust cycles take place. At times in the history of both nations the debt load was not too significant, thus the zeroing out bust was not too significant. In other times the debt was substantial, and historically we have seen substantial economic busts take place—like in King Ahab’s time; and as we see in the 1930s depression in America.
But nothing has compared to the outright debt binge of the modern era. We, as a nation, have literally annulled any idea of real debt satisfaction, but have incorporated a financial system based on perpetual debt with continually growing deficits. This perpetual debt system has allowed America, and the West as a whole, to live off of excessive, ever expanding debt to the eventual tune of trillions and trillions of dollars, an amount that is realistically inconceivable. Never in the history of the world has there been this kind of debt by a debtor nation, especially one with its own history so intertwined with the G-d of the Bible.
With this staggering amount of debt in play, a debt that was to be biblically paid up prior to every end of the seventh year Shemitah, we have witnessed historically the Creator’s direct intervention in our financial affairs. We have seen smaller financial interventions when the debt amount owed was relatively small, as in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. But as the debt load has increased and carried over each seven year cycle, the seventh year crashes have become more and more significant, as in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This has become even more apparent as the most recent seventh year crashes have specifically taken place on Elul 29, the very last day of the biblical Shemitah in 2001 and 2008, almost as if someone is trying to get something across very, very clearly.
But it is obvious we are not getting it. Even as the seventh year crashes become more and more serious with each passing Shemitah, America is continuing headlong into debt hell with no end in sight. So, for those watching and trying to understand the Shemitah cycles, it would seem like this Elul 29, 2015 would be a no brainer. I mean, come on, in order to keep the building crescendo of a seventh year crash pattern keeping lock-step with our own immense debt ballooning into the stratosphere, we should have seen a bloodletting on the financial streets on Elul 29 of catastrophic proportions with all kinds of super precise number drops, like the Dow losing 7,777 points, or something…right? 



A No Show!
And yet, Elul 29 went by without a whimper….
(Crickets chirping)
Unfortunately, we are missing some key pieces of data regarding the Shemitah that are absolutely necessary to get the whole picture for what all this actually means.
Please understand: the Shemitah is technically a legal mechanism. Sure, it can be viewed in a prophetic sense, and, as such, viewed as a warning, a harbinger of things to come, if you will. But more importantly, the Shemitah’s primary function is a scale balancer—it zeros out the imbalances. This was its function in the Bible, and this has been its function in our own financial history.
So let’s put this into proper legal perspective. The past Shemitahs in which we have seen the precise seven year pattern at work have been ultimately “corrective”. The point losses on Wall Street and the result to the economy has CORRECTED the incorrect financial imbalances of improper gains made by improper debt. The losses incurred by the date of Elul 29 every seventh year made things judicially correct. In essence, the price of not clearing the debt at the Shemitah was ultimately cleared by the Creator. 
In other words, G-d has used the past Shemitah economic hits as warnings; but He has also “corrected” the transgression by forcing financial loss on the transgressor and balancing the scales. This is the ultimate goal of the Shemitah concept in the first place. The whole point of the Shemitah is to make things financially right for everyone.
So the crashes we have seen in 2008, 2001, and those prior, have had much to do with a certain legal satisfaction. America’s debt cup was full at the end of these Shemitah cycles. Naturally, we would view these crashes as punishment…and in some ways that is not too far off. But what we are missing is the fact that “technically” the Shemitah WAS satisfied by the resulting losses. Literally, the greed gains of the debt cup were emptied, zeroed, in large measure by the losses that occurred at the end of these Shemitah’s. Thus, America was given another seven year cycle with another chance to redeem itself.
Sadly, America has not learned from its many chances. And as Elul 29 has come and gone, we now find ourselves in a whole new ball game.
The pattern has changed. Elul 29, 2015 was a no show.

  

A Historical Snapshot
Folks, this is EXACTLY how the Creator did it with the Kingdom of Judah before the final fall of Jerusalem in the Prophet Jeremiah’s time. The narrative parts of the Book of Jeremiah, in essence, really revolve around two main Shemitah issues: the land Sabbath of the land of Israel; and financial debt release. Read it and see. The Old Testament spells it out clearly.

 
 

Over 700 Fukushima waste bags swept away by torrential floods

Over 700 Fukushima waste bags swept away by torrential floods

Extensive and destructive floods across eastern Japan have swept more than 700 bags containing Fukushima-contaminated soil and grass into Japan’s rivers, with many still unaccounted for and some spilling their radioactive content into the water system.
Authorities in the small city of Nikko in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture, some 175 km away from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, have said that at least 334 bags containing radioactive soil have been swept into a tributary of the Kinugawa river, The Asahi Shimbun reports.
According to the city’s authorities, the washed-away waste was only part of hundreds of bags being stored at the Kobyakugawa Sakura Koen park alongside the river. Another 132 bags of waste reportedly rolled down the slopes.

Refugee Crisis: Planned Invasion of Europe

Refugee Crisis: Planned Invasion of Europe

Tidal wave of illegal immigrants will force West to intervene militarily in Syria

Refugee Crisis: Planned Invasion of Europe
by Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com | September 19, 2015

Dr. Mark Christian, an Egyptian-born former Muslim who served in the Egyptian military, told World Net Daily earlier this week the refugee crisis in Europe is an orchestrated event.
“The media is making this out to be a spontaneous refugee crisis when this is actually a very organized event,” Christian said.
The flood of refugees into Europe is designed to put pressure on the West and provide a pretext for an invasion of Syria, the removal of Bashar al-Assad, and the installation of a Sunni government, Christian claims.
In May declassified US Defense Intelligence Agency documents from 2012 revealed the United States and its partners in the Gulf states and Turkey supported the Islamic State and plan to establish a Salafist principality in Syria.
Christian, who heads up the Global Faith Institute in Nebraska, told the Hungarian Times the goal since the presidency of George W. Bush and the reign of the neocons at the Pentagon has been to remove Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Moamar Gadaffi in Libya, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and other secular leaders in the Middle East and North Africa and replace them with radical Sunnis.
The Muslim Brotherhood, a documented CIA and British intelligence asset, failed to install a Sunni government in Egypt. The country is now ruled by a military dictatorship.
Dan Sanchez, writing for AntiMedia, warns “if the hawks were to get their wish of seeing Assad finally overthrown and his forces dismantled, there would then be zero local resistance to ISIS, Syrian Al Qaeda, and the other jihadist groups completely overrunning Syria.”
35 Million Migrants
On Saturday Hungary’s minister for foreign affairs and trade, Peter Szijjártó, said the number of migrants rushing into Europe could exceed 35 million.
“It’s a self delusion to call this situation a migration crisis; it is a massive migration of nations, with inexhaustible reserves,” Szijjártó said.
“I don’t think that the analysis results, stating that 30-35 million people out there could possibly become migrants, would be an exaggeration.”
“Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are all countries with a huge population and an extremely unstable situation,” he added.
Moreover, according to United Nations data, 75 percent of the migrants entering Europe are men, and only 51 percent are Syrian.
“Of the 366,402 refugees who arrived by crossing the Mediterranean Sea so far in this year, 51 percent — 186,865 — have been Syrian, up 5 percent from last month,” the International Business Times reported on September 6.
“Far behind at 12 percent are Afghans, and ranking third are Eritreans at 8 percent. The remaining 29 percent included refugees from Nigeria, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia.”
