Kurt Haskell, Detroit area attorney and passenger on “Christmas bomber” Northwest Airlines flight 253, discusses the change in the official narrative that now acknowledges the “sharply dressed” Indian man who helped bombing suspect Abdulmutallab board the plane in the Netherlands, the official US policy of helping terrorism suspects into the country in order to catch the entire “terror network,” the possibility that the “sharply dressed” man was acting on behalf of the US government and Richard Wolffe’s theory that individuals within US intelligence agencies may have intentionally botched the job.

February 3 2010 edition of Fox News’ Hannity, Hannity stated: “George Bush … did not play golf while this country was at war. … [H]e didn’t want the families of loved ones serving — or that may have lost a loved one — seeing him on a golf course. He seemed to be far more in touch.”

When 600 senior IT security managers were asked which state actor was most likely to engage in cyberattacks, the top response was the US (36 percent), even among traditional US allies.

Let us take a closer look at the Federal Reserve’s balance sheets, at least to the extent that they are available to us. One year before reaching their record-high profits, the Fed’s assets consisted of nearly $500 billion in government assets. These consisted of Treasury bonds and assets issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two giants of the real-estate market whose solvency is guaranteed by the federal government. Since Fannie and Freddy are currently owned by the state, their assets should be treated as state securities.

During 2009, the Fed was engaged in aggressive interventions in the financial markets; through various operations, it increased the amount of state assets in its possession to $1.8 trillion. The amount of government assets on the Fed’s balance sheet more than tripled. With this huge increase in assets held, $46 billion is merely a 2.5 percent return, which was provided directly by the government.

Therefore, the Fed’s so-called “profits” are not a sign of the coming of a great revival for economy. They rather mean that a “Keynesian trick” has hid the decline in economic welfare. This trick is often referred to as a “policy mix” — a mixture of fiscal and monetary policies.

“Garet Garrett, the Old Right author and skeptical chronicler of the rise of empire, once remarked that the American Imperium is unlike any other in history in that “everything goes out and nothing comes in.” While it’s true that a certain class of “entrepreneurs,” i.e. the arms industry, profit from war, the country and the economy suffer a net loss. The American system of empire cannot sustain itself.

The diversion of so much wealth to maintain the mightiest military machine in the history of the world has been a tremendous drain that has depleted our savings and thrown us into an abyss of debt. We have mortgaged the future of our nation in order to “save” the world from itself – but there’s no payoff, except the emotional rewards of extreme nationalism and militarism.”

It means, very simply - if you are reading the information and it gets imprinted on your mind - that is your property. If you print it out - that piece of paper is your property. If you download code onto your computer - that is your property. Your stuff is your stuff. No one can tell you what to do with it. Nor can you hold anyone responsible for your stuff. Now that the stuff is your stuff, you cannot have anyone else be liable for it. By taking it and making it yours - you agree to hold those from whom you took it harmless.

“Mr Alford also took apart a “detection card” and found there was nothing in it other than card and paper.”
Gary Bolton from Global Technical told the BBC that the lack of electronic parts “does not mean it does not operate to the specification”.

According to the Federal Reserve’s most recent report on wealth, America’s private net worth was $53.4 trillion as of September, 2009. But at the same time, America’s debt and unfunded liabilities totaled at least $120,000,000,000,000.00 ($120 trillion), or 225% of the citizens’ net worth. Even if the government expropriated every dollar of private wealth in the nation, it would still have a deficit of $66,600,000,000,000.00 ($66.6 trillion), equal to $214,286.00 for every man, woman and child in America and roughly 500% of GDP. If the government does not directly seize the nation’s private wealth, then it will require $389,610 from each and every citizen to balance the country’s books.”

The worthless justice system of a first world banana republic:

“A citizen may not gain standing by claiming a right to have the government follow the law,” (.pdf) Walker ruled late Thursday.

He noted that the plaintiffs include most every American connected to the internet or to have used a telephone — meaning the lawsuits boil down to a “general grievance” and are barred.

Judge Walker said that the lawsuits, in essence, cannot be brought because they are “citizen suits seeking to employ judicial remedies to punish and bring to heel high-level government officials for the allegedly illegal and unconstitutional warrantless electronic surveillance program or programs now widely, if incompletely, aired in the public forum.”

Cindy Cohn, the legal director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation that brought one of the cases, said the decision means “when you’re trying to stop the government from doing something illegal, and if the government does it to enough people, the courts can’t fix it.”
