Creeping Fascism: From Nazi Germany to Post 9/11 America "Americans today are seeing the same sheepish submissiveness that characterized Germany after the burning of the Reichstag."
Bhutto Identified Assassins in Email "Benazir Bhutto claimed three senior allies of Pakistan's president General Musharraf were out to kill her in a secret email to Foreign Secretary David Miliband written weeks before her death. Astonishingly, one of them is a leading intelligence officer who was officially responsible for protecting Miss Bhutto from an assassination."
Giuliani Official Advocates Ethnic Cleansing of Muslims From the Planet "John Deady, the co-chair of state Veterans for Rudolph Giuliani's , an official member of his campaign: "[Rudy's] got I believe the knowledge and the judgment to attack one of the most difficult problems in current history and that is the rise of the Muslims, and make no mistake about it, this hasn't happened for a thousand years. These people are very dedicated and they're also very very smart in their own way. We need to keep the feet to the fire and keep pressing these people until we defeat or chase them back to their caves or in other words get rid of them."
Osama bin Laden is Dead - Who murdered Benazir Bhutto? Video Interview "Murdered by intelligence agency supported terrorists ('Al Qaeda' assets of the CIA,etc) When Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan to take a stand for democratic government, 3 million Pakistanis greeted her at the airport. Now she is dead. At 6:15 in this video, Benazir Bhutto refers in a matter-of-fact manner to "the man who killed Osama bin Laden." If this was a misstatement, she did not correct herself, nor did the interviewer call attention to it. Before she was murdered, there was another attack on Benazir Bhutto's life. She told David Frost that she was not even allowed to file a police report let alone get a serious investigation of the attack. She specifically stated that she wanted the finances of the terrorists traced. Saeed Sheikh is the man Bhutto refers to in this interview. He is charged with killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl who tracked the relationship between Pakistani intelligence and terrorist groups. He is also suspected of having wired money to Mohamed Atta on behalf of Pakistani intelligence right before the 9/11 attacks. George Bush & Company wholeheartedly support the current Pakistani regime. View this video to understand the Pakistani-US alliance to support and protect terrorist operations in the US and the Middle East."
Related (video): Pakistan and 9/11 "On October 1, 2001, did the FBI uncover evidence that Lt. General Mahmood Ahmed, the Director of the Pakistani Intelligence Service (the ISI) authorize the wiring of $100,000 to Florida to Mohammed Atta (supposed hijack ringleader of the 911 attack) through Omar Saeed Sheikh (an alleged ISI agent)? Why did only a single US press outlet, the Wall Street Journal website, mention this connection in the editorial section (James Taranto writing) on October 10, 2001, saying it was an "internet only" story - when in fact it was a major story reported at great length in the main line Indian press? Does this mean that Al-Queda was used as a tool by members of the American government in the same way that they used the Mujahdeen against the Soviets in Afghanistan?" Yes, probably.
David Addington Pushed To Eliminate Job Of National Archivist Who Challenged Cheney "In a new interview with Newsweek, ISOO director J. William Leonard — described as the “gold standard of information specialists in the federal government” — said that he is quitting after 34 years, partly because of pressure from Cheney’s office. Addington personally tried to “wipe out” his job after Leonard attempted to challenge Cheney’s claims." Addington is actually the one who wrote all of Bushs 'escape clauses' on all the legislation he signed. If Bush didn't really compose the 'signing statements', does that not make them invalid?
Musharraf Commission to announce that a lone nut killed Bhutto "How did the lone nut persuade the police to abandon the security posts just before the assassination?." Police abandoned their security posts shortly before Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto's assassination Thursday, according to a journalist present at the time, and unanswerable questions remain about the cause of her death, because an autopsy was never performed.
Australia Scraps National ID Plan ""The proposed Australian 'Access Card', a universal ID that would be required for any Australian wishing to use Medicare, Centrelink, the Child Support Agency, or Veterans' Affairs, has been scrapped by the incoming Rudd Labor Government. The card would have contained an RFID tag with the person's name, date of birth, gender, address, signature, card number, card expiration date, and Medicare number, but there were also provisions to add more personal data later on. It seems that Rudd Labor is not eager to copy the American REAL ID Act." Actually, they don't have to. The aussies are already a security state.
Condi Rice and senior officials to testify about Israel's influence "Condoleezza Rice and more than a dozen other current and former intelligence officials must testify about their conversations with pro-Israel lobbyists, a federal judge ruled in an espionage case."
As Primaries Begin, the FEC Will Shut Down "The federal agency in charge of policing the torrent of political spending during the upcoming presidential primaries will, for all practical purposes, shut its doors on New Year's Eve. The Federal Election Commission will effectively go dark on Jan. 1 because Congress remains locked in a standoff over the confirmation of President Bush's nominees to the panel. As a consequence, the FEC will enter 2008 with just two of six members - short of the four votes needed for the commission to take any official action."
US Special Forces Expected In Pakistan In Early 2008 "In the wake of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, a 'surge' of US Special Forces for Pakistan's remote tribal lands is unlikely to face heavy opposition from President Musharraf, who will be busy trying to stop his own name, and that of his political party, from being linked with Bhutto's assassins."
Benazir Bhutto shot dead in suicide attack "Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide attack at a campaign rally that also killed at least 20 others, aides said." This was predictable.
Who Is the Greatest Violator of the Constitution? Judge Andrew Napolitano "Judge Andrew Napolitano is among the fiercest defenders of individual rights. Both in his daily appearances on the country's most-watched cable news network and in a series of books (most recently, A Nation of Sheep), Napolitano consistently and defiantly argues that the only legitimate government is that which respects its citizens rights in all cases. In late October, Napolitano gave the keynote address at the conference Reason in DC, where he delivered a spellbinding speech that blended a masterful understanding of American history with a blazing outrage at the excesses of the new security state. "Who [is] the greatest violator of the Constitution?" asks Napolitano. "George W. Bush has shown less fidelity to the Constitution than any president since Abraham Lincoln." Click above to view the Judge's speech (approx. 40 minutes). (Video) Very good. There are several good Napolitano interviews:

Free Energy Battery Inventor Killed At Airport "Last month, the inventor of a revolutionary, affordable, clean energy technology, Arie M. DeGeus of AMDG Scientific Corp was found slumped in his car, totally unresponsive, in the long-term parking lot of the Charlotte Douglass International Airport in North Carolina. He was taken to the hospital and died a short time later. The autopsy suggested heart failure, so officials were saying the death was a result of a medical problem or natural causes, and not likely to be a homicide. Those who were involved with his research are doubtful, citing, among other things, that he had been in relatively good health. The timing is also suspicious. He was apparently on his way to Europe where he was to secure major funding for the development and commercialization of his technology, which could make oil obsolete as a fuel source."

Elements in US Government Mulling Assassination of Ron Paul "Best-selling author and Bilderberg sleuth Daniel Estulin says he has received information from sources inside the U.S. intelligence community which suggests that people from the highest levels of the U.S. government are considering an assassination attempt against Congressman Ron Paul because they are threatened by his burgeoning popularity. Estulin, whose information has unfortunately proven very accurate in the past, went public with the bombshell news during an appearance on The Alex Jones Show today. "I am getting information from my sources that there are people involved from a higher level of the American establishment who are seriously considering - this has not been confirmed - but assassination is definitely on the agenda."
Is a New Solar Cycle Beginning? "A new high-latitude active region is magnetically reversed, marking it as a harbinger of a new solar cycle. Many forecasters believe Solar Cycle 24 will be big and intense. Peaking in 2011 or 2012, the cycle to come could have significant impacts on telecommunications, air traffic, power grids and GPS systems. (And don't forget the Northern Lights!) In this age of satellites and cell phones, the next solar cycle could make itself felt as never before."
US to Lose Ecuadorian Air Base in 2009 "When the U.S. Air Force Southern Command's 10-year usage rights for Ecuador's Manta air base expire in 2009, it can expect to be evicted in favor of China. President Jamil Mahuad signed a 10-year lease agreement with the U.S. military in 1999 and will not renew it. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa offered the base to the Terminales del Ecuador, a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Hutchison Port Holdings [HPH] during to Beijing on Nov. 21. The Manta base is not geopolitically important for U.S. national security, but the Southern Command (South Com) currently uses it to combat illegal cocaine trade in the "source zone" of Colombia, Peru and Bolivia."

New Document Reveals HAARP's Mystery's Powers "Of course, always caveat lector when dealing with Wired Magazine. While they do a pretty good job of coming up with some of the more attention-grabbing headlines, they are rumored to have an inordinately high concentration of ex-NSA employees working on their staff. This particular piece posits that HAARP is not an anti-missile technology, nor a weather modification instrument nor, are we to believe, is it a communications exponentiator. They go on to explain that what it does is heat up the atmosphere with ions and this is poor doublespeak; heating up the atmosphere's magnetic layer with ions is an anti-missile endeavor (a circuitry frying one at any rate), it does modify the weather, and it does facilitate signal propagation for communications purposes."
Morgan Stanley issues full US recession alert "Morgan Stanley has issued a full recession alert for the US economy, warning of a sharp slowdown in business investment and a "perfect storm" for consumers as the housing slump spreads.

In a report "Recession Coming" released today, the bank's US team said the credit crunch had started to inflict serious damage on US companies."
Prominent Scientists Challenge UN Move For Global Carbon Tax "The UN has officially announced what the fearmongering about man-made global warming has been designed to justify all along - a global carbon tax which will do nothing to reduce carbon emissions but everything to feed the trough of world government. Over one hundred prominent scientists signed a letter dismissing the move as a futile bureaucratic scheme which will diminish prosperity and increase human suffering ... As MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen warned earlier this year, "Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life." Lindzen is one of over 100 prominent scientists who have signed a letter slamming the UN move as a futile bureaucratic scheme, pointing out the results of a recent study in the International Journal of Climatology which concludes that climate change over the past thirty years is largely a result of solar activity and that attempts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are irrelevant. In comparison, half that number - just 52 scientists - participated in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers meeting in April 2007."
Consensus Study: Global Warming Not Manmade, But Natural Cycle Climate scientists at the University of Rochester, the University of Alabama, and the University of Virginia report that temperature fluctuations over the past three decades are not consistent with greenhouse model predictions and more closely correlate with solar activity. The report dismisses attempts to 'reverse global warming' by 'reducing carbon emissions' as ineffective and pointless ... Authored by Prof. David H. Douglass (Univ. of Rochester), Prof. John R. Christy (Univ. of Alabama), Benjamin D. Pearson (graduate student), and Prof. S. Fred Singer (Univ. of Virginia), the study appears in this month's International Journal of Climatology of the Royal Meteorological Society. "Our research demonstrates that the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2 has only a minor influence on climate change. We must conclude, therefore, that attempts to control CO2 emissions are ineffective and pointless. – but very costly.

US Supreme Court has taken up the issue whether the executive branch can detain people indefinitely merely by 'declaring' them to be 'suspected terrorists' "The case is a habeas corpus issue and, therefore, of the utmost importance. Without the protection of habeas corpus, government can lock away anyone on the basis of unsubstantiated charges as the Guantanamo detainees have been for nearly six years. If the court rules against the right of habeas corpus in the case of "Odah v. US and Boumediene v. Bush", this country, which used to be a country of laws and not of men, no longer exists."
Interest rate 'freeze' - the real story is fraud "Bankers pay lip service to families while scurrying to avert suits, prison. The "freeze" is just another fraud - and like the other bailout proposals, it has nothing to do with U.S. house prices, with "working families," keeping people in their homes or any of that nonsense. The sole goal of the freeze is to prevent owners of mortgage-backed securities, many of them foreigners, from suing U.S. banks and forcing them to buy back worthless mortgage securities at face value - right now almost 10 times their market worth. The ticking time bomb in the U.S. banking system is not resetting subprime mortgage rates. The real problem is the contractual ability of investors in mortgage bonds to require banks to buy back the loans at face value if there was fraud in the origination process."

Secret DoJ Legal Memos: Bush Determines What Is Constitutional "On December 7, 2007, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) delivered an impassioned floor speech to help frame the debate over FISA reform. Using his privilege as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Whitehouse said he has “spent hours poring over” secret opinions issued by the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) — and he took notes.
Whitehouse is a lawyer, a former U.S. Attorney, a former legal counsel to Rhode Island’s Governor, and a former State Attorney General. He said he sought and received permission to have his notes declassified because he wanted to show the public “what the Bush administration does behind our backs when they think no one is looking.”
“To give you an example of what I read,” Whitehouse said on the Senate floor, “I have gotten three legal propositions from these secret OLC opinions declassified. Here they are, as accurately as my note-taking could reproduce them from the classified documents”: 1. An executive order cannot limit a President. There is no constitutional requirement for a President to issue a new executive order whenever he wishes to depart from the terms of a previous executive order. Rather than violate an executive order, the President has instead modified or waived it. 2. The President, exercising his constitutional authority under Article II, can determine whether an action is a lawful exercise of the President’s authority under Article II. 3. The Department of Justice is bound by the President’s legal determinations.Emptywheel has the full statement and more commentary.

Dynamic in US Moving More from Authoritarian System to Fascism "United States is undergoing a "fascist shift" from an authoritarian but still relatively open society to a totalitarian society. Fascist shifts don't happen overnight, but rather over a course of years during which the fascists' plans unfold at an accelerating pace. Germany in 1933 was further along this path than it was in 1931, and Germany in 1935 was farther along than it was in 1933. Similarly, America in 2007 is farther along the path than it was in 2005, or will be in 2009, provided that a massive pro-democracy movement, complete with impeachment proceedings, doesn't reverse the shift while there's still time. A simple Democratic victory in the 2008 presidential election won't do the job unless the institutional and legal environment created by the Bush administration is thoroughly dismantled. Regardless of whether the next president is a Republican or a Democrat, he or she will inherit a legacy of centralized power that a democracy simply can't tolerate."

Jewish Bomber Targeted Hillary Office in NH Since Hillary is reaping political rewards, you have to wonder if this guy was a deliberate plant or mind-controlled sayan 'collaborator'. A Mossad flunkie? Well within the realm of possibility. Leeland Eisenburg was a 'former inmate' at a Massachusetts Correctional facility.
What's in a Name? Ari Fleischer and Zionist Lewis (Louis) Eisenburg , who supervised the handover of the WTC to Silverstein, are both Directors of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Eisenberg went on to become the Finance Committee Chairman of the Republican Party and then the 2004 Republican National Convention Chairman. Lewis (Louis) Eisenburg was on the Advisory Committee for the Libby Defense Fund. Libby was a long-serving intelligence agent for Israel's Mossad. People have commented on the sudden, costly departure from the World Trade Center, just weeks before Sept. 11, of the American division of Zim Israel, the Israeli shipping giant founded by longtime Israeli Mossad figure Shaul Nehemia Eisenberg and the unusual circumstances involving the lease on the WTC held by the Australian Jewish entrepreneur, Silverstein. Eisenberg served as the Mossad’s liaison with China. Shaul was also a partner of Mossad gun-runner and accountant Tibor Rosenbaum. Here and there a dossier on Shaul Eisenberg is found.

Expert: Both parties cooperate to keep administration crimes secret "Keith Olbermann described this proposed legislation with a high degree of skepticism, saying sardonically, "The bill may end up as part of the Senate's wiretapping law, due for a vote next month -- after which the president will sign it and monkeys will fly out of his butt." The Bush administration has made widespread use of the so-called "state secrets privilege" to dismiss lawsuits that seek to challenge its domestic wiretaps and other illegal activities. Now two veteran senators, Arlen Spector (R-PA) and Ted Kennedy (D-MA), are teaming up to craft legislation that would direct judges to evaluate the government's state secrets claims rather than accepting them uncritically. He then turned to constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley, asking him why there isn't already such a law, as most Americans would assume there would be.
"It actually is the law," Turley replied. "This has been a distortion, or a mutation of the law. The privilege has become something that I think the Supreme Court never imagined when it first created it."
"Today, the privilege is used primarily not to keep something secret, but to keep something from being used against the government," Turley went on. "I was in a courtroom when people laughed when the government counsel argued that they could use the privilege to claim as secret something that was published on the cover of the New York Times."
Turley said that some judges are already scrutinizing government claims under the state secret privilege but suggested that those who do not are merely "lazy." He pointed out that even the original case which established the privilege was eventually found to have been based on a lie, "and the Supreme Court refused to reexamine the case."
Perhaps Turley's most telling observation was that members of both parties are happy to see these cases dismissed because they are determined to keep impeachment off the table. "There's a lot of people, both Democrats and Republicans, that ... don't want a court to say that the president did something that is a federal crime. That's why they're trying to get all these cases thrown out of court. ... When a federal judge says the president committed a crime, it's pretty darn hard to ignore that."
However, he agreed with Olbermann that it would still be important to have such a law in place for after Bush leaves office, saying, "The privilege is now a tool used to protect the government from its own crimes."

Financial crisis could plunge US Dollar 90% UPI "A financial crisis will likely send the U.S. dollar into a free fall of as much as 90 percent and gold soaring to $2,000 an ounce, a trends researcher said. "We are going to see economic times the likes of which no living person has seen," Trends Research Institute Director Gerald Celente said, forecasting a "Panic of 2008." Celente -- who forecast the subprime mortgage financial crisis and the dollar's decline a year ago and gold's current rise in May -- told the newspaper the subprime mortgage meltdown was just the first "small, high-risk segment of the market" to collapse. Derivative dealers, hedge funds, buyout firms and other market players will also unravel, he said. Massive corporate losses, such as those recently posted by Citigroup Inc. and General Motors Corp., will also be fairly common "for some time to come," he said. He said he would not "be surprised if giants tumble to their deaths," Celente said. The Panic of 2008 will lead to a lower U.S. standard of living, he said. A result will be a drop in holiday spending a year from now, followed by a permanent end of the "retail holiday frenzy" that has driven the U.S. economy since the 1940s, he said."
"All fiat currencies fall to their inherent value" (zero)--Voltaire
A reader comment from the above page: "Since the entire system, and indeed all of society as we now know it, is built upon a fiat monetary system once that system implodes due to the weight of the massive debt upon which it is created, everything collapses. Every Fiat Federal Reserve Note, whether digital or physical, is borrowed into existence with nothing backing it but the debt itself. The system relies upon the expansion of debt to maintain its viability and it is that very expansion that will cause the eventual collapse of the system since there comes a point where the debt requires much more servicing than the economy can possibly produce. It is a classic Catch 22, and unfortunately there is no remedy that the government or central bankers can readily produce to avert the termination of the system. The emerging chaos will be unimaginable and totally unmanageable. Say bye, bye to life as we know it.
We should all consider several things concerning the Federal Reserve’s fiat monetary system, it has an inherent terminal point that will eventually breach the systems viability. A few years ago the system reached its Peak Practical Lifespan where the economy is no longer able to tolerate what would once we considered minor disruptions, such as small interest rate hikes. The next step on the terminal time-line will be when the system reaches it Maximum Possible Lifespan when massive financial dislocations begin to occur rapidly as domino falls upon domino. The unraveling of the economic rope will be so rapid and intense that nothing the Federal Reserve does, or other the global Central Banking Cartels, will be able to stem the complete systematic annihilation of the monetary foundation of the global economy.

China bans US carrier from entering port of Hong Kong, then changes its mind "China refused permission for US aircraft carrier to enter Hong Kong for the first time as the rift between two countries deepens, and then changed its mind 24 hours later. China abruptly decides to permit Kitty Hawk dock in Hong Kong. China says it will allow a US aircraft carrier to dock at Hong Kong for a Thanksgiving visit, one day after it had refused permission. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao, told a news conference early on Thursday afternoon that the USS Kitty Hawk had finally been allowed entry, but didn't refer to the reason for the delay in giving permission. However, the decision was made too late to save the holiday because the 8,000 airmen and sailors were due in Hong Kong on Wednesday. As a result, the Kitty Hawk and accompanying ships continued their course towards their base in Japan, a spokesman for the US Pacific Fleet in Hawaii was quoted as saying. Many of the relatives of US crew members had flown to Hong Kong to celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday."
