THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere, so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." -- Woodrow Wilson

Silencing The Critics

Obama has placed illegal sanctions on Iran and continues to threaten Iran with military attack on the basis of an accusation that is contradicted by all known evidence.

The Media And GOP Are Suppressing The Reality That Ron Paul Has Reached Critical Mass

The Establishment's conspiracy against Ron Paul is a conspiracy against the American voter and the American taxpayer. Only Ron Paul represents the interests of the American people and the American nation. Every other political leader in the 2012 presidential race, including Barack Obama, represents the interests of the cannibalistic American ruling class and international banking cartel.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"The truth has a certain elegance and restraint to it. Sometimes it can be a little rough because the truth doesn't spend as much time in makeup as the lies do. Lies require cosmetics and strategic lighting. Truth possesses its own beauty (if you can see it), without the need for artifice and produces its own light." -- Les Visible

20 Things We Can Learn About The Future Of America From The Death Of Detroit

 Do you want to know what the future of America is going to look like?  Just check out what is happening to Detroit.  The city of Detroit was once one of the greatest industrial cities in the history of the world, but today it is a rotting, decaying, post-apocalyptic hellhole.  Nearly half the men are unemployed, nearly half the population is functionally illiterate, more than half of the children are living in poverty and the city government is drowning in debt

What Really Happened, Krauthammer: Israel Will Not Tolerate Threats of Annihilation

Memo to Charles Krauthammer: sir, I am aware of your personal story, the triumph over the physical trauma of your injuries, and your formidable intellectual gifts.
However, that having been said, using those gifts to create a causus belli for an Israel pre-emptive strike against Iran is both morally - and intellectually - dishonest in the extreme.
I would like to remind you, sir, that - unlike Iran - Israel refuses to become a signatory to the NNPT, has nuclear weapons, and refuses any inspections of its nuclear sites.
I would also like to remind you, sir, that all US aid to any countries which possess nuclear weapons is technically illegal, under the US's Symington Amendment to the Foreign Appropriations Act and the Glenn Act.
To date, all of the IAEA's inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities have demonstrated that absolutely no nuclear materials have been diverted for weapons' purposes.
The level to which Iranian scientists have been enriching their uranium is only to 20%, necessary for producing medical isotopes. A nuclear weapon would take over 95% enrichment. So far, there is absolutely no evidence that this is taking place.
If this is not the case, please then provide the American people with the facts. But of course, you will not, because you cannot, because such alleged "facts" do not exist.
It confounds me that you would make the charge that "“I think Israel will strike because it cannot live under the threat of annihilation from Iran."
And there you are, invoking one of the most allegedly controversial things that Iranian President Mahmoud Amedinejad never said.
The devil is in the detail, wiping Israel off the map suggests a physical genocidal assault, a literal population relocation or elimination akin to what the Nazis did. According to numerous different translations, Ahmadinejad never used the word "map," instead his statement was in the context of time and applied to the Zionist regime occupying Jerusalem. Ahmadinejad was expressing his future hope that the Zionist regime in Israel would fall, not that Iran was going to physically annex the country and its population. To claim Ahmadinejad has issued a rallying cry to ethnically cleanse Israel is akin to saying that Churchill wanted to murder all Germans when he stated his desire to crush the Nazis. This is about the demise of a corrupt occupying power, not the deaths of millions of innocent people.
Mr. Krauthammer, I am rather amazed that you would resort to such a "big lie" technique, knowing it would ultimately come back to haunt you.Because if I understand the essence of what was said here, other thinking people will understand this as well.
Yes, Israel can start such an attack; but most probably not finish it even somewhat successfully without US military intervention.
“In practice, since 2009, the US military controls Israel's Air Defense system, which is integrated into the US global missile defense system,” Michel Chossudovsky, the director of the Center for Research on Globalization, wrote in an article published on the Global Research website on Friday. “Under these circumstances, Israel cannot launch a war against Iran without the consent of Washington and the involvement of the Pentagon,” he added. The United States and Israel have repeatedly threatened Tehran with the "option" of a military strike based on the allegation, championed by Washington, Tel Aviv, and their allies, that Iran's nuclear activities may comprise a covert military agenda.
I would like to strongly caution you, Mr. Krauthammer, that the American people have grown increasingly weary and restive regarding the continued costs in American blood and money which have been spent as a sacrifice upon the altar of potential Israeli hegemony in the Middle East, first with Iraq (remember; Israel's former 'existential threat') and now, Iran.
I would also like to remind you, sir, that officials of both the Chinese and Russian government have gone on record stating that if Iran is attacked, these two nuclear-armed countries will defend Iran with their military assets.
So to recap, we have the potential for a global, thermonuclear war, courtesy of a pre-emptive Israeli strike against Iran, which hasn't started a war in over 200 years, and definitely not since becoming an Islamic Republic in 1979. It's nuclear weapons program has absolutely not been substantiated in fact.
And one final note, Mr. Krauthammer; as you are well aware, Iran is home to one of the largest components of Jewish people in the Middle East, outside of Israel. Any attack against Iran will surely kill numerous Jewish people as well. Is this an acceptable outcome for Israel, in the slaughtering of their fellow and sister Jews in Iran?!?
Or are they simply considered "unworthy of life" by the Israeli government, because they have refused to "make aliyah", i.e., return "home" to Israel?!?

US Congress Pulsates With War Fever

Both Barack Obama and Netanyahu expect to reap dividends from “getting tough” on the latest miscreant in a long line of Muslim bogeymen.   Think back to the western power’s demonization of Gamal abdel-Nasser, whom Anthony Eden called, “Hitler on the Nile;”  to “arch terrorist” Yasser Arafat;  to “mad dog of the Mideast” Muammar Khadaffi;  to “Butcher of Baghdad” Saddam Hussein;  “Mr 9/11” Osama bin Laden; and now “the new Hitler”  Ahmadinejad.

This Is What An Economic Depression Looks Like In The 21st Century

Do you want to see what a 21st century economic depression looks like?  Just look at Greece.  Once upon a time, the Greek economy was thriving, the Greek government was borrowing money like there was no tomorrow and Greek citizens were thoroughly enjoying the bubble of false prosperity that all that debt created.  Those that warned that Greece was headed for a financial collapse were laughed at and were called "doom and gloomers".  Well, nobody is laughing now.

Iran: A Manufactured Threat

http://theintelhub.com/2012/02/07/iran-a-manufactured-threat/

Iran attacked no other country in over 200 years. It threatens none now. It’s neighbors know it. So do Washington and Israel.
Nonetheless, saber rattling warnings continue. At issue is making an independent state a client one. It’s why Washington orchestrated Syria’s insurgency and continues anti-Iranian propaganda.

1953 Iranian coup d'état

The 1953 Iranian coup d'état (known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup^[3]) was the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh on 19 August 1953, orchestrated by the intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom and the United States under the name TPAJAX Project.^[4] The coup saw the transition of Mohammad-Rezā Shāh Pahlavi from a constitutional monarch to an authoritarian one who relied heavily on United States support to hold on to power until his own overthrow in February 1979.^[5]

NEW YORK’S ‘ELDERS’ TAKE TO THE STREETS AGAINST WAR ON IRAN

http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2012/02/06/new-yorks-elders-take-to-the-streets-against-war-on-iran/

Ever hear of the Elders? Here is a description of them; The Elders is an international non-government organisation of public figures noted as elder statesmen, peace activists, and human rights advocates, brought together by Nelson Mandela in 2007. The goal Mandela set for the Elders was to use their “almost 1,000 years of collective experience” to work on solutions for seemingly insurmountable problems like climate change, HIV/AIDS, and poverty, as well as to “use their political independence to help resolve some of the world’s most intractable conflicts“.

Homeland Security Will Use The Excuse Of A Wartime Crisis To Liquidate The Resistance To The Police State

"It is no proof of a man's understanding to be able to affirm whatever he pleases; but to be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false,--this is the mark and character of intelligence." Emanuel Swedenborg

The intensifying rhetoric of war from Washington and Tel Aviv is based on pure paranoia and propaganda and driven by a desire to wipe Iran off of the Middle Eastern map. All the talk from Israel about the Iranian threat to its existence and security is a clever attempt to hide the reality that it is actually Israel and the United States that are waging war against Iran.

Say No to War

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/02/04/say-no-to-war/

His poem titled, “Say NO” was written days before he died. Its searing rhetoric cuts deep. He said:
“You. Man at the machine gun and man in the workshop. If tomorrow they tell you you are to make no more water-pipes and saucepans but are to make steel helmets and machine-guns, then there’s only one thing to do:
Say NO!
You. Woman at the counter and woman in the office. If tomorrow they tell you to fill shells and assemble telescopic sights for snipers’ rifles, then there’s only one thing to do:
Say NO!
You. Research worker in the laboratory. If tomorrow they tell you you are to invent a new death for the old life, then there’s only one thing to do:
Say NO!
You. Priest in the pulpit. If tomorrow they tell you you are to bless murder and declare war holy, then there’s only one thing to do:
Say NO!
You. Pilot in your aeroplane. If tomorrow they tell you you are to carry bombs over cities, then there’s only one thing to do:
Say NO!
You. Man of the village and man of the town. If tomorrow they come and give you your call-up papers, then there’s only one thing to do:
Say NO!
You. Mother in Normandy and mother in the Ukraine, mother in Vancouver and in London, you on the Hwangho and on the Mississippi, you in Naples and Hamburg and Cairo and Oslo – mothers in all parts of the earth, mothers of the world, if tomorrow they tell you you are to bear new soldiers for new battles, then there’s only one thing to do:
Say NO!
For if you do not say NO – if YOU do not say NO – mothers, then: then!
In the bustling hazy harbour towns the big ships will fall silent as corpses against the dead deserted quay walls, their once shimmering bodies overgrown with seaweed and barnacles, smelling of graveyards and rotten fish.
The trams will lie like senseless glass-eyed cages beside the twisted steel skeleton of wires and track.
The sunny juice vine will not rot on decaying hillsides, rice will dry in the withered earth, potatoes will freeze in the unploughed land and cows will stick their death-still legs into the air like overturned chairs.
In the fields beside rusted ploughs the corn will be flattened like a beaten army.
Then the last human creature, with mangled entrails and infected lungs, will wander around, unanswered and lonely, under the poisonous glowing sun, among the immense mass graves and devastated cities.
The last human creature, withered, mad, cursing, accusing – and the terrible accusation: Why?
will dies unheard on the plains, drift through the ruins, seep into the rubble of churches, fall into pools of blood, unheard, unanswered,
the last animal scream of the last human animal -
All this will happen tomorrow, tomorrow, perhaps, perhaps even tonight, perhaps tonight, if – if -
You do not say NO.”

Anyone unmoved by that isn’t human. No one could write it who didn’t experience war’s horrors firsthand, and scream Say NO! Say NO! No More.

Written almost 65 years ago, wars rage daily. Millions more lives expired. Perhaps no one will listen to other Borcherts until no one’s left to hear, if “You do not say NO” now.

Unconstitutional NDAA Nullification

http://www.brasschecktv.com/videos/solutions/nullification-the-rightful-remedy-.html


What is Nullification?

What Is It? State nullification is the idea that the states can and must refuse to enforce unconstitutional federal laws.

Says Who? Says Thomas Jefferson, among other distinguished Americans. His draft of the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 first introduced the word “nullification” into American political life, and follow-up resolutions in 1799 employed Jefferson’s formulation that “nullification…is the rightful remedy” when the federal government reaches beyond its constitutional powers. In the Virginia Resolutions of 1798, James Madison said the states were “duty bound to resist” when the federal government violated the Constitution.

But Jefferson didn’t invent the idea. Federalist supporters of the Constitution at the Virginia ratifying convention of 1788 assured Virginians that they would be “exonerated” should the federal government attempt to impose “any supplementary condition” upon them – in other words, if it tried to exercise a power over and above the ones the states had delegated to it. Patrick Henry and later Jefferson himself elaborated on these safeguards that Virginians had been assured of at their ratifying convention.

What’s the Argument for It? Here’s an extremely basic summary:

1) The states preceded the Union. The Declaration of Independence speaks of “free and independent states” that “have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do.”

Article II of the Articles of Confederation says the states “retain their sovereignty, freedom, and independence”; they must have enjoyed that sovereignty in the past in order for them to “retain” it in 1781 when the Articles were officially adopted. The ratification of the Constitution was accomplished not by a single, national vote, but by the individual ratifications of the various states, each assembled in convention.

2) In the American system no government is sovereign.  The peoples of the states are the sovereigns. It is they who apportion powers between themselves, their state governments, and the federal government. In doing so they are not impairing their sovereignty in any way. To the contrary, they are exercising it.
