Ben Swann of Fox 19 recently broadcasted an outstanding 5 minute report on the private Federal Reserve, complete with its shady beginnings all the way to their dealings during the 2008 economic crisis.

From YouTube Description:

Ben Swann Reality Check takes a look at history and present activities of the Federal Reserve Bank and whether the Fed needs to be audited.

Swann, one of the only voices of reason in the corporate media, has also done an outstanding job exposing key information in past including voter fraud targeting Ron Paul, the NDAA, and unanswered questions in regards to the Aurora, Colorado mass shooting.

Here are the Criminals that started it all with the help of President Wilson and many, ‘  bought and paid for ‘,  political guppies !

The Federal Reserve Act was passed on December 23 1913, it also known as the Glass-Owen Bill.

This was the beginning of the end for the Great U.S.A., which started at that point and has taken until now to implode upon itself.

New Spin: Attack Syria To Fight Al-Qaeda

NATO powers helped put Al-Qaeda fighters in Syria in the first place

 

 From PrisonPlanet.com

We are now clearly entering a new phase in the propaganda war with regard to Syria, heralded by the NATO-aligned establishment now using the presence of Al-Qaeda fighters in the country, many of whom were airlifted into Syria by NATO powers, as a justification to launch a wider military assault.

For months the establishment media has downplayed the presence and influence of Al-Qaeda rebels as a means of legitimizing the NATO-backed Free Syrian Army’s efforts to topple President Bashar Assad.

Despite innumerable bombings and assassinations targeting the regime, the fact that Al-Qaeda fighters were behind the violence was considered taboo, and some mainstream news outlets even preferred to spin conspiracy theories about Assad’s forces being behind the bombings rather than admit the truth.

The mainstream media now admits that Al-Qaeda is behind most of the anti-Assad violence in Syria and that the Syrian opposition is largely led by Al-Qaeda fighters, backed up by U.S.-funded rebels.

In addition, U.S. officials like Ambassador Susan Rice and the White House itself have all but applauded terrorist bombings in Damascus.

Back in March, leaked emails also revealed that the Pentagon was planning to direct terror attacks and assassinations inside Syria in a bid to topple Assad.

Despite the U.S. government welcoming attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda as a tool to further destabilize the Syrian government, the establishment has launched a spin campaign claiming that Al-Qaeda is merely capitalizing on the uprising in Syria when in reality Al-Qaeda is leading the uprising.

A new report out of the RAND Corporation confirms that since December, “Al Qaeda has conducted roughly two dozen attacks, primarily against Syrian security service targets. Virtually all have been suicide attacks and car bombings, and they have resulted in more than 200 deaths and 1,000 injuries.”

The report also notes how Al-Qaeda has doubled its ranks inside Syria and how its expanding presence in major cities is being funded by “a growing number of donors from the Persian Gulf and Levant,” according to the U.S. State Department.

Noticeably absent from the report however is the fact that many of these Al-Qaeda fighters were airlifted into Syria from Libya by NATO powers after the toppling of Colonel Gaddafi. 

As the London Telegraph reported back in November, Libyan rebel fighters and arms were being sent to Syria by the newly installed NATO puppet government.

As the Telegraph also reported, Abdulhakim Belhadj, now head of the Tripoli Military Council, “met with Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey,” after being sent there by Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the interim Libyan president.

Belhadj is the former front man for the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), an Al-Qaeda offshoot designated as a terrorist organization by the US State Department, which represented the second-largest cohort of foreign fighters in Iraq, responsible for killing U.S. troops.

These details are absent rom the RAND report for a reason – the U.S. military-industrial complex and the NATO-aligned establishment media is now using the presence of Al-Qaeda fighters within Syria as a reason to attack Syria – despite the fact that NATO powers helped those terrorists enter Syria in the first place.

“In addition to helping end Bashar Assad’s rule, there is a growing need to conduct a covert campaign against al Qaeda and other extremist groups gaining a presence in the country,” writes RAND’s Seth Jones, arguing that Al-Qaeda fighters should not be thrown in the same category as the FSA because Free Syrian Army rebels are “concerned” about “Qaeda’s growing involvement.”

However, as a London Guardian report reveals, Al-Qaeda and the NATO-backed FSA are working hand in hand to destabilize Syria in preparation for regime change.

“We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaida] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations,” said former FSA rebel turned Al-Qaeda commander Abu Khuder, adding that Al-Qaeda fighters meet “every day” with Syrian rebels.

In addition, rebel fighters are routinely photographed wearing the Al-Qaeda motif.

There are also innumerable You Tube videos that show opposition forces flying the Al-Qaeda flag.

The fact that the Guardian report divulges how closely together Al-Qaeda and the FSA are working is ironic given that for months the same newspaper has run anonymous Twitter messages claiming the bombings in Syria now admittedly carried out by Al-Qaeda were in fact false flags carried out by Assad’s forces.

In conceding that the United States and Al-Qaeda were on the same side in Syria, Hillary Clinton attempted to make a distinction by remarking that Al-Qaeda are merely “claiming to support the opposition,” when in reality, as the Guardian report and a deluge of others confirm, the relationship is symbiotic.

It is this phony distinction that NATO powers will attempt to push in justifying a military intervention in Syria on the basis of routing out Al-Qaeda, when in fact Al-Qaeda is once again allied with the military-industrial complex, just as it is in targeting Iran as the next domino to fall in the middle east.

Iran Warns Turkey Not to Invade Syria

 ‘Very Strong Warnings’ Issued 

 

From AntiWar.com

 by Jason Ditz, July 30, 2012

The ever-growing Turkish bellicosity toward Syria has apparently gotten some serious attention from its neighbors today, as reports have Iran issuing “very strong warnings” to Turkey cautioning them not to invade Syria.

“Any attack on Syrian territory will meet with a harsh response, and the Iranian-Syrian mutual defence agreement will be activated,” the statement reportedly said. Turkey’s president and foreign minister have both issued statements recently suggesting an attack could be forthcoming.

And indeed, as Turkey continues to rail on about Syria’s ceding of Syrian Kurdistan to the PKK, one unnamed Arab diplomat reported that a deal is already in place between Turkey and the United States to use the PKK as a “pretext” for an invasion of northern Syria.

Turkey and Iran had been on relatively good terms in recent year, but then Turkey and Syria had a long-standing alliance which is entirely in ruins now as well. Turkey’s interest in imposing a Sunni Arab nationalist regime in Syria dovetails nicely with its hope to keep the nation’s Kurds tightly controlled, but an invasion to that end risks blowing up not only Kurdistan, but the entire Middle East.

American Jewish visitor to Israel, Philip Weiss, views the ugly situation of the Occupation

The blatancy of apartheid

 

From DesertPeace

By Philip Weiss – August 01, 2012

      Flags over the crowds going to pray at Al-Aqsa

I’m no stranger to Israel and Palestine, still what shocks me about coming here is how blatant the system of unfairness is.

Why is this not utterly familiar to me? I wonder.

Why don’t Americans see this every day in the news?

What kind of fairyland image are we getting of this place, and why?

Or as the Canadian Christian pilgrim said to me last night leaving Qalandiya checkpoint, “What endless humiliation.And why is it such an open secret back home in the U.S.A.?”

So everything here brings me back to the American denial, our blindered media, and to American Jewish identity and the lies that American Jews have told one another for generations.

A few impressions of the blatancy.

I flew into Ben Guiron from Newark and my flight was mostly Jewish.

There were no Palestinians or Arabs on the flight, as far as I could see.

The sense was reinforced at Ben-Gurion.

I saw no women wearing hijab, the customary form of dress in this part of the world.

The shuttle I rode into Jerusalem had ten passengers, mostly American Jews, two binational Israeli American girls, a Christian tourist and an international aid type.

This last passenger was dropped at Qalandiya checkpoint to go on to Ramallah.

“Is this a hospital?” the orthodox girl in the front row asked.

A reminder that the Palestinian reality is sealed off from Israelis, and also that Qalandiya is a vast bureaucratic complex in benign disguise, a border crossing that keeps the subject population Over There.

“A lot of the Arabs throw rocks, that is why they put this up,” an older Jew who fought in the 48 war explained to his wife as we passed along the wall.

After I checked into my hotel in the Old City, I ran into Jeff Halper of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions.

He pointed out the flags above on a dwelling in the Muslim Quarter and said that I was witnessing the process of the Judaization of the Old City and of East Jeursalem generally, Jews cordoning off the holy city.

My picture is of Muslims going to the Al Aqsa mosque to pray under these flags.

They are reminded of who is boss at every turn.

I have been through Qalandiya twice in the last day and cannot convey what a dreary oppressive experience this is.

Long lines of people made to walk in a wide muddy circle past the neverending re-arranged concrete walls, one of which has F#ck You as an eloquent graffiti.

The soldiers stand at huge concrete cubes that the bulldozers have placed just so, a couple-hips’-width apart, and stop us at three points on our way in.

Women and men are separated, in a fashion that has ghoulish echoes of the worst moments of Jewish history.

Oh but now we have power, now we are in history.

This is what thrills American Jews and neocons, our moment. Powerful people do screwed up things.

But all the while my heart is with the Palestinians around me. The men are all gleaming and bathed and fresh.

It is Ramadan. They wear nice clothes. They meet your eyes in a welcoming fashion but no one is ingratiating.

It is too humbling for anyone to say anything, where are you from? Welcome, which they say in ordinary circumstances.

While in the Old City, in the Ramadan crowds that inch packed and dangerous toward the mosque, there are always men at the side spraying water on as you walk by.

Tossing it from bottles, spraying it with sprayers, to cool you down.

A lovely gesture of community, in which I am included.

I know there is a strong Jewish community a few hundred yards away. It has its own beauties and fellowship and loving embrace.

But pardon me if I can’t find my way there right now.

I was raised as a Jewish outsider in America, and my spirit gravitates toward the outsiders here.

The largest impression of all: These people have no freedom of movement.

It takes hours to make a 10 mile trip, and none of the thoughtful city planning that Jews get in West Jerusalem is extended to the Palestinians.

No, they must be constrained at every turn, and choked, so they want to fly away. I would fly away.

I’d move to the Gulf, I’d go to Europe, I’d give up.

And again what I find staggering is that we have so little understanding of this reality in the west.

I am witnessing apartheid.

I cannot think of any other term that so describes the systematic separation of people by race /ethnicity/religion, and the subjugation of one ethnicity to another.

Whatever the glories of Zionism in Jewish history, a case I’m more than willing to make, this is where it ground itself out, a boot in the face of a civilized people.

So yes I blame the media.

I blame the Times for running Richard Goldstone’s farcical claim that apartheid is a slander rather than Stephen Roberts’s cleareyed piece in the Nation that this is apartheid on steroids.

I blame the Israel lobby for enforcing blindness to these conditions, I blame the politicians for accepting the blinders.

I blame the Phildelphia Inquirer for saying the other day that a one state future is “untenable,” when what is happening before our eyes is atrocity on atrocity.

I blame the Jewish community for lying about what is happening here endlessly, destroying our intellectual inheritance, in the belief that it is good for the Jews.

It is a disaster for Jews.

It is a disgrace that Americans will one day have university courses and museum exhibits to try to explain to one another when the next generation wakes up to this madness and responds with appropriate fury.

As a new month begins, the Occupation, the siege of Gaza and apartheid continue as the norm in Israel and the Occupied Territories.

Just a few headlines that appeared today (click on links to see reports) ….

90% of Gaza water “unsafe for drinking,” says UN

Israeli spending on West Bank settlements up 38%

EU, US race to reward Israel’s massive human rights violations

ROMNEY’S IGNORANCE EXPOSED IN THE LAND OF THE PROPHETS

 

From DesertPeace

By Sam Bahour – August 01, 2012 

Mitt Romney made history on Monday. In a single speech from Jerusalem, he proved beyond a reasonable doubt that to qualify to be a U.S. presidential candidate one needs precious little understanding of history, economics, or reality. Romney has just enough to be dangerous.

With no sense of the impediments Palestinians labor under, Romney compared Israel’s economic success to that of its Palestinian neighbors and claimed the discrepancy was due to “cultural” differences and the “hand of providence.”

Such blatantly racist and bigoted references to the conflicting parties are only occasionally rivaled by Israel’s most right-wing politicians.

Given Palestine is part and parcel of an Arab culture that was the cradle of civilization, is home to the oldest cities in the world, and provided humanity with significant contributions towards the development of many “modern” sciences, such as physics, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and astronomy, one can only assume Romney sees no value in any of these – or is entirely ignorant of them.

Instead, he views Israel as the “miracle,” a 64-year-old country that was built on the ruins and ashes of the indigenous Palestinians, many of whom refuse to submit to a continuing campaign of slow – and sometimes not so slow – removal from the land.

The likely GOP presidential nominee also overlooked the fact that the Arab world was home to the world’s three great monotheistic religions – Islam, Christianity, and Judaism – long before any modern state of Israel was even conceived.

As if these racist remarks were not enough, Romney uttered the magic conceptual ingredient, God.

He said that he is “overwhelmingly impressed with the hand of providence (and how Israelis) are able to build and accomplish things that could only be done by a species created in the image of God.”

This perverted reference seems to indicate that others, like Palestinians or even his own people, Americans, are of a lesser “species,” unable to match Israeli accomplishments.

Romney also praised Israel’s economic accomplishments while bashing the Palestinians’.

The presidential candidate totally ignored the principal reason for the huge discrepancy between the Israeli and Palestinian economies: Israel’s military occupation of Palestinian territory and total micromanagement of that economy.

I suspect Bain Capital would not have succeeded had the Israeli government restrained its every effort.

Furthermore, Israel’s economy is subsidized with over $3 billion in U.S. military aid every year.

That military aid helps repress Palestinians.

Over the years, not only has Israel prohibited the emergence of a new Palestinian economy – it has structurally and systematically made certain that even the buds of such a productive economy would never see the light of day.

Anyone who scratches the surface of all the political spin can see for themselves what the World Bank now repeats: that Israel’s “apparatus of control” has “become more sophisticated and effective in its ability to interfere in and affect every aspect of Palestinian life, including job opportunities, work, and earnings … (turning) the West Bank into a fragmented set of social and economic islands or enclaves cut off from one another.”

Besieged Gaza is in far worse shape than the West Bank.

The International Monetary Fund and the European Union are making similar points.

Given that so many respected international organizations and analysts see reality for what it is, the question is what is being done about it.

For Romney the answer to the Palestinians is crystal clear: Give up. After all, in his view Palestinians are “culturally” defective and God is on the other side.

As an American, before even speaking as a Palestinian, Romney scares me – seriously scares me.

President Obama may have failed the Middle East in his first term as he picked up the pieces of eight years of damage caused by George W. Bush’s administration, but Romney has exposed his extraordinary American ignorance in the land of the prophets.

Media Blackout As Militarized Police Deployed Against Civilians In Anaheim

=============================================================

{XANIEL’S NOTE : Have you wondered why the Main Stream Media has black-out this story to the rest of the Nation.

1.) Because they are working with the Government to keep all of us ‘ DUMB DOWN ‘ and ‘ UNAWARE ‘ ,

in order to make us easy pick’ns when the other shoe drops to start with.

This also makes them treasonous criminals that will equally be rounded up and made to answer,

‘ WHEN JUSTICE COMES TO THE LAND OF THE FREE ONCE MORE ‘.

Hopefully through ‘ NON_VIOLENT ‘ means,

 BUT,  more likely, (as it is becoming more and more apparent every day),

through the next Revolution which is coming to a neighborhood near you if our Government has anything to say about it.  And,

2.) They don’t want you to become aware of just what the rest of The Nation is going to look like by October, just before the elections !

If you weren’t getting prepared before, then it’s time to wake up and get prepared NOW !

The Government is deliberately trying to start uprisings via the brainwashed police,

 to justify martial law, quickly followed by an all out Revolution.

THIS IS NOT FEAR MONGERING PEOPLE

It’s a warning that you can listen to now and get prepared for ,

OR,  do what you usual do, ‘ WHICH IS NOTHING ‘ !

And later when it’s far to late to do anything at all,

consider the expression ‘ I TOLD YOU SO ! ‘ your phrase of the day.

And….well… pretty much everyday after.

That IS of course, if you are allowed to live any length of time }~~~Xaniel777

Something is happening in Anaheim, California – despite a complete blackout from the mainstreem media as police brutality rages.

Amber Lyon, award-winning investigative journalist and filmmaker, joins Thom Hartmann.

Something is happening in Anaheim, California – despite a complete blackout from the mainstreem media.

Take a look at some of these pictures by award-winning investigative journalist Amber Lyons from Anaheim over the weekend.

When we hear terms like militarized police – this is what comes to mind. Officers decked out in full military gear as though they’re about to be deployed to Afghanistan.

So what’s behind this?

Why are militarized police on patrol in Anaheim?

Well – Sunday marked the ninth straight day that local citizens took to the streets to protest police brutality.

Nine days after police shot an unarmed man – 25-year-old Manuel Diaz – in the back of the head killing him.

Since that shooting…the streets of Anaheim have been the scene of mostly peaceful protests that have at times turned violent in response to heavy handed police crackdowns.

Last week – this was the scene in Anaheim – as police in riot gear fired less lethal projectiles like bean bags and pepper balls indiscriminately into crowds of people. 24 people were arrested that night – storefront windows were smashed, and fires were started.

And last night – as hundreds poured into the streets for a peaceful march and ceremony for Manuel Diaz – they were once again met with Anaheim police equipped with full military gear. Nine people were arrested on Sunday.

Something is happening in Anaheim – Why the Media Blackout?

More on the story from yesterday:

Militarized Police Deployed Against Civilians In Anaheim CA

It’s Happened: Paramilitary Police vs Civilians in Anaheim

First look at the pictures of what look like soldiers patrolling Iraq lined up to stop the small, 300 person march against police violence in Anaheim.

The pictures above look chillingly like this one taken from a 1994 USFA Fema Document.
