The Looting Of America

Catherine Austin Fitts:
November 30, 2010

Former Assistant Secretary of Housing under George H.W. Bush Catherine Austin Fitts blows the whistle on how the financial terrorists have deliberately imploded the US economy and transferred gargantuan amounts of wealth offshore as a means of sacrificing the American middle class. Fitts documents how trillions of dollars went missing from government coffers in the 90?s and how she was personally targeted for exposing the fraud.

Fitts explains how every dollar of debt issued to service every war, building project, and government program since the American Revolution up to around 2 years ago – around $12 trillion – has been doubled again in just the last 18 months alone with the bank bailouts. “We’re literally witnessing the leveraged buyout of a country and that’s why I call it a financial coup d’état, and that’s what the bailout is for,” states Fitts.

Massive amounts of financial capital have been sucked out the...

Obama gets drawn and quartered by the left

Is Obama intending to apply these rules to Americans or just al Qaeda? Its interesting that the left is eviscerating him. To be fair he basicly accepts the view of the right in incarcerating terrorists .



Naqba Day fizzles

All things considered today was a defeat for the Palestinians. Israel prevented infiltration with a minimum of firepower.. It is imperative to let the Palestinians know that Israel will defend its borders. Just imagine if the Palestinians were able to created a million man march on our borders. The first defeat for them is that they didn’t succeed in creating a serious challenge and the second defeat is that we easily contained what they did manage to do. Israel should be placing landmines along their border and the fence. The facts are not yet clear. Waiting for the IDF to report.Ted Belman

Too Big to Fail?

Is Syria’s repressive dictatorship really so crucial to Mideast peace and stability that we can’t let it fail? The Obama administration still seems to think so.
BY AARON DAVID MILLER,
FOREIGN POLICY

If you’re a bit confused about U.S. President Barack Obama’s passivity in the face of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s brutal repression of domestic opposition, don’t be. Syria isn’t Libya. The Assad regime is just too consequential to risk undermining.

Although the fall of the House of Assad might actually benefit U.S. interests, the president isn’t going to encourage it. For realists in the White House, Assad’s demise carries more risks than opportunities.

Great powers behave inconsistently — even hypocritically — depending on their interests. That’s not unusual; it’s part of the job description. In fact, in responding to the forces of change and repression loosed throughout the Arab world, flexibility is...

Israel’s neighbors prepare ‘Nakba Day’ events

In Lebanon, 500 buses will shuttle Palestinians from refugee camps to border in order to protest on day of mourning marking Israel’s founding. But in Israel, Arabs say ‘Nakba bill’ prevents them from joining protests

Ynet reporters

Israel’s neighbors prepared to usher in ‘Nakba Day’ with mass marches along the border with Israel Sunday. Meanwhile, in Israel, police prepared to deploy backup forces throughout the country with officers trained in riot-prevention.

Many residents of Arab countries in which anti-government protests abound have used social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to call for a third intifada on May 15, the Palestinian day of mourning over the establishment of Israel.

In Lebanon, 500 buses have been enlisted to shuttle Palestinians from refugee camps throughout the country to its southern border with the Jewish state. Al-Akhbar reported that protest organizers had increased their order by 200 buses due to the abundance...
