Revisiting American History - Financial Empire

'Has the course of History been directed by a small group of people with common interests? The paintings and pictures of the great men of the past centuries reveal a common thread which links them together. Is it a coincidence that many of them hid one of their hands when posing for a portrait? It seems unlikely. We’ll look at the Masonic origin of the “hidden hand” and the powerful men who used the sign in famous portraits.'

'Britain is a surreal place to be living right now. The infamous Ministry of Defense trend report for 2007-35 projects the British middle classes 'becoming revolutionary, taking on the role of Marx's proletariat.' I should be seeing the start of the ferment.
Our living standards are being attacked: people are losing their jobs, there is fast inflation, taxes are increasing and every year hordes of young people leave university to few job opportunities.
And yet there is virtually no anger at all. The conversation between people is as trivial and inane as ever.'

'With national elections barely over, Republicans and Democrats unveiled their real political agenda, in the form of Obama's Deficit Reduction Commission. The bi-partisan commission has a nightmare vision for working people that, if implemented, will remold American society to mirror the current ruler of U.S. politics -- the corporations and wealthy.'

'French President Nicolas Sarkozy has come under criticism for allegedly recruiting a surveillance unit to spy on journalists amid reports of government corruption.
The allegations first surfaced following a report in September by the daily newspaper Le Monde, in which the Central Directorate of Interior Intelligence (DCRI) -- the French equivalent of the CIA-- was accused of involvement in tracking down an anonymous source in the scandal linked to L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt's illegal donations to Sarkozy's 2007 presidential campaign, the Globe and Mail reported on Friday.
According to the report, the French president has allegedly set up and supervised a special unit of the secret service to tip off journalists, who launch reports or conduct any investigation into a string of affairs ranging from tax evasion to influence peddling to a conflict of interest involving Betencourt and Labor Minister Eric Woerth.'

FANTASTIC PROGRESS …
… AND THE CHALLENGES AHEAD
The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out on Sunday
In the last month particularly, since I left home for New York, I have seen a new stage in the awakening as a whole new and potentially enormous group of people begin to cross the line and see that apparently random injustice is really calculated and coordinated injustice.
These are the people who have observed the grotesque unfairness and inequality in their own communities and the world in general, but have perceived this to be the result of human greed alone, almost a natural state of the greedy and unscrupulous seeking to exploit the masses for wealth and power.
On one level that is true, but more and more people are now beginning to realise that the foundations of this injustice are not ‘natural’, but globally enforced.
They are coming to the vital, perception-changing, life-changing realisation that the forces that manipulate their own communities and countries are the same forces that are doing the same in every community and country. It is a point I have stressed over and over in the last month: those dictating the lives of Americans are part of the same global network imposing its will upon the Portuguese and Spanish.
As ever more people in this ‘sense of injustice’ mindset start to connect the dots and see how it is all coordinated, the potential for bringing down the house-of-cards Control System becomes limitless.
And it is beginning to happen, though this is just the start.
Walking out in Barcelona. Different language, same message, same response.

'Two months before the general election, Nick Clegg warned there would be "riots" on the streets if the Conservatives introduced extreme cuts. Now they have begun – and Clegg himself is the chief cutter.
There was a whiplash moment this Wednesday. Inside the House of Commons, a pale-faced and barely coherent Clegg was championing the trebling of tuition fees at Prime Minister’s Question Time, despite the fact he promised before the election to “implacably oppose” this move because it would be “a disaster”.
Clegg is one of the great mysteries of British politics. Before the election, he told us “there isn't a serious economist in the world who agrees with the Conservatives... [that] we should pull the rug out from under the economy with immediate spending cuts.” Now he is one of the leading champions of doing exactly that. In just a few days after the election, he cleared a space in his swanky new ministerial offices and staged a bonfire of his principles.'

Matt Taibbi: Courts Helping Banks Screw Over Homeowners

'This is the dirty secret of the rocket docket: The whole system is set up to enable lenders to commit fraud over and over again, until they figure out a way to reduce the stink enough so some judge like Soud can sign off on the scam. "If the court finds for the defendant, the plaintiffs just refile," says Parker, the local attorney. "The only way for the caseload to get reduced is to give it to the plaintiff. The entire process is designed with that result in mind".'

'After years of negative judicial decisions about the use of a straw-man on mortgages, MERS was about to lose its existence as well as its credibility. But now all of that is set to change as Wall Street money is pouring into the coffers of those who are receptive (i.e., almost everyone in Congress). The legislation is already being drafted under the interstate commerce clause to ratify MERS and everything it did retroactively.
It appears that the Obama administration is ready to pardon all the securitization deviants by signing this bill into law. This information is corroborated by several people who are in sensitive positions — persons who would be the first to know such proposals.'

'U.S. weaponry, ammunition and war supplies stored in Israel will reach a record $1.2 billion by 2012 under legislation aimed at increasing operational readiness of U.S. forces and their allies in high-threat areas.
Under recently passed amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act governing U.S. War Reserves Stockpiles for Allies (WRSA), the value of U.S. weapons to be prepositioned in Israel will reach $1 billion in 2011, with another $200 million added in 2012, U.S. and Israeli sources say.
Once implemented, the amount of U.S.-owned and -controlled materiel available for Israel's emergency use will have jumped threefold from pre-2007 levels of some $400 million.'

'Why does a billionaire want to take away your Social Security benefits? Peter Peterson is 84 years old. He’s old enough to relax and enjoy the fruits of the years he was well paid for managing other rich people’s money. Why is he spending his fortune to convince politicians they should ruin the average guy’s retirement?
Today Peterson announced the next facet in his long campaign to hack Social Security, including a joke Presidential candidate named Hugh Jidette (“huge debt”) and a website called Owe No. His aim is to convince Congress to raise the retirement age, cut Social Security’s cost-of-living increases—and raise the payroll taxes we pay for Social Security and Medicare.
It wouldn’t matter what one cranky octogenarian billionaire had to say if he weren’t putting $6 million into ads, funding “expert” commissions, and spreading lies designed to panic the populace.'
