'Jobs. That is the issue in the election – at least that is the issue Obama and Romney are focused on – who will create more jobs for a country in desperate need of them. During his convention speech, President Obama mentioned jobs 19 times, Romney did so 16 times. Obama promised a future where the U.S. will “outsource fewer jobs.” Of course, Romney is known as someone who made hundreds of millions by outsourcing jobs. Former President Clinton put forth a job scorecard, arguing Obama and the Democrats will create more jobs.
Neither candidate is arguing for a New Deal style government jobs program. Both are relying on private industry to create jobs. But, big business profits by spending less on labor. While in the spotlight of the convention, Obama is critical of jobs being sent overseas but at the same time his U.S. trade representative, Ron Kirk, who works out of the executive office of the president, is negotiating a secret treaty behind closed doors – the Trans-Pacific Partnership – known as ‘NAFTA on steroids’. This is a corporate trade agreement that will result in massive outsourcing of jobs.'

'However, Mr. Netanyahu has a problem. The American made F-15 and F-16 aircraft flown by the Israeli air force, have neither the range nor the bomb carrying capacity to take out Iranian air defenses or targeted enrichment facilities, most of which are deep underground. Since Israel does not have the strike force it needs, Mr. Netanyahu is trying to get the U.S. involved in his attack. But President Obama has stated, and the IAEA agrees there is no evidence that Iran has the capability to build a nuclear weapon nor is there evidence it even has one.
According to accounts being carried in Israeli newspapers and television stations, Prime Minister Netanyahu is determined to attack Iran before the U.S. national election on November 7. In response to this threat, Mr. Parviz Sarvari of the Iranian National Security Committee is quoted as saying:”
If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure.” Compounding the crisis, President Obama, on July 27, signed into law the United States-Israel Enhanced Cooperation Act which, among other things, mandates that the U.S. governmentprovide Israel aerial refueling tankers, missile defense capabilities, and special munitions.'

'Another 911, and the elites’ dream of a One World Order moves closer to reality. Enter the cashless society, likely to enter via the back door of our society much faster than people think…
This latest report is eerily reminiscent of the recent IBM TV advert which is promoting the use of RFID chips in order to “make checkout lines easier”. Watch this creation from IBM, hoping the make the future into a sexy, paranoid dystopia…'

'"I propose to implement market management and crisis management policies by setting up strategic stocks," Hollande said in a speech to farmers in Rennes in northwestern France on Tuesday.
Grain prices have soared to record highs this summer due to drought in the US Midwest and the Black Sea regions, raising concerns of a repeat of 2008 when a spike in food prices touched off riots in some countries.
"I am convinced of the benefits of global governance for subjects as crucial as food security," Reuters quoted Hollande as saying.'

'An estimated number of 22,000 Polish men, including officers and intellectuals, were killed by the Soviet secret police in the Katyn forest on Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s order.
The documents released by the US National Archives on Monday September 10 included a series exchanges between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin. Historians believe that the massacre of Polish soldiers were hushed up not to anger Stalin as a wartime ally of the US in World War II.'
