In our previous post, Spiral Eye in Sky Winks at the New Prince of Peace, we identified contemporary manifestations of three of the four political prongs recommended as "substitute institutions" for replacing the non-military functions of war in the Report from Iron Mountain. But, we neglected to note any illustration of the first: "An omnipresent, virtually omnipotent international police force."
Then, the very next day, President Obama gave us one, issuing a significant Executive Order, Amending Executive Order 12425, which addresses this very issue, by rescinding the restraints that President Reagan had placed upon the powers of INTERPOL within the United States in the original E.O. Threatswatch.org gives a full analysis:
Wither Sovereignty
We should add, the timing of the E.O. - on the eve of his trip to the Copenhagen climate summit - suggests that Obama wanted to go to the summit with a demonstration of his willingness to open U.S. jurisdictions to the enforcement of international law, as this was one of the primary goals of the summit: an enforceable treaty, subjecting signatory countries to surveillance of carbon emissions and to punitive measures when those emissions are in excess. However, despite the aggressive lobbying of Obama and others, China, on behalf of the developing nations, refused to sign such an agreement.

Spiral Eye in Sky Winks at the New Prince of Peace
From The Report From Iron Mountain On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace, The Dial Press, 1967, Pg. 84:
The following substitute institutions, among others, have been proposed for consideration as replacements for the nonmilitary functions of war...
Section 2. Political. a) An omnipresent, virtually omnipotent international police force. b) An established and recognized extraterrestrial menace. c) Massive global environmental pollution. d) Fictitious alternate enemies.
It seems as of late, the globalist legions have been desperately firing off all of their rounds at once, in conjunction with the supreme irony of President Obama accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last week, where he obliquely cites the above referenced text at time-stamp 17:17 - "The belief that peace is desirable is rarely enough to achieve it," while making the case for an indefinite continuation and globally shared state of war against the old stand-by bogeymen, Al Qaeda and the like, of which more and more of the general public are coming to regard as falling within category d) fictitious alternate enemies.
Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, efforts were already underway to establish a global environmental police state on the presumption of category c) massive global environmental pollution, in the form of carbon emissions induced global warming, which, again, more and more of the general public are coming to doubt. The leaked CRU emails on the eve of of the summit got things off to a bad start; then a leaked draft agreement revealed an agenda on the part of western powers to use the climate crisis as a means of re-establishing their colonial grip on the developing world. And so...
Copenhagen climate summit in disarray after 'Danish text' leak.
Yes, things have been going quite badly for the globalist program. And so, in a wild, spectacular foray, they apparently fired up EISCAT, which, like Alaska's HAARP, is an ionospheric heating antenna array located in Norway, and with it made signs in the heavens that indeed - under category b) an established and recognized extraterrestrial menace - the gods or the aliens or Santa Claus or what have you are nodding in approval of The One, the New Prince of Peace...
A "Nobel Torsion Message" Over Norway?
Arthur C. Clarke once said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." But these self-appointed "masters of the universe" are getting so transparent now that it is just downright laughable.

As the update to "Nobel Torsion Message" corrects, so must we...
Since the famous photograph was taken looking East not from Tromso, but from Skjervoy (being NE of EISCAT), the source of the spiral apparently bears some relation to the Russian missile test. If so, this winking eye was perhaps not flirting with, but rather mocking the "New Prince of Peace."
Update 2...
"Nobel Torsion Message" Part III concludes: explanation 1 (EISCAT) and explanation 2 (failed Russian missile test) coincide - a torsion force created by EISCAT caused the missile to fail...

HAARP plays Bullseye
Reported in the Oct. 2 Nature News...
Artificial ionosphere creates bullseye in the sky.
What impresses us, however is not so much the bullseye, but the banded patterns rippling away, as from a tuning fork...
Instead of the expected fuzzy, doughnut-shaped blob, surprising irregular luminescent bands radiated out from the centre of the bullseye, says Todd Pedersen, a research physicist at the US Air Force Research Laboratory in Massachusetts, who leads the team that ran the experiment at HAARP.
We find a photograph of this at Physics Today.
The Naval Research Laboratory provides an animation and explanation of perhaps what was going on here.
{ Tangentally, the last time we saw something like this resonant band pattern, albeit much lower in the atmosphere, was this video shot over Northern Japan in 2007... Strange Clouds Mesmerize Japanese Airliner Crew }
HAARP may be the largest installation of its type, but we find similar arrays of HF antenas in other remote locations for global radio communications. For instance, there is a group of eight near Offutt Air Force base in Nebraska...

Eye of Dan
A very strange anecdote surfaced recently regarding Dan Rather, which would be a suitable addition to the Rather Bizarre page (though the domain seems to have fallen into dormancy).
In an interview with Peter B. Collins and Sibel Edmonds, an HDNet journalist Kristina Borjesson related the general contents of some internal emails Rather had sent to his coworkers, noting that the first person was spelled "eye" - time stamp 27:00 of the interview.
"Eye want to tell everybody how much eye appreciate the work you've done..."

Spots beget Eyes
With the recent leaking of internal communications of the Climatic Research Unit, showing what appears to be a conspiracy to not only selectively mine climatic data, but to deliberately expunge data unfriendly to the man-made global warming consensus, it now becomes evident that what we have here is a contemporary form of Ptolemaism. Once again the centrality of Earth is dogma, as if it were an environmental bubble in the universe...
One might recall, that such was the presumption of Biosphere II, an attempt to create a hermetically self-contained environment separate from its surroundings, allowing in only sunlight. It was a miserable failure, perhaps in large part due to the fact that Biosphere I, Earth itself, is by no means hermetically sealed from its solar and cosmic environment. (Read I.M.Vernadski's Biosphere, pgs. 43-50)
A case in point: this perused Google Scholar search brings to our attention a couple of research papers which demonstrate a sensitivity of hurricane frequency to cosmic rays...

and even some correlation of cosmic ray and sun spot activity with the formation of more powerful hurricanes...

Earth: Hot Strumpet or Frigid Spinster
The planet may be getting warmer or cooling down. Just like a woman, one should never pretend to know what she will do. One thing is certain, the controversy over global warming is heating up with the release of hacked emails from Climatic Research Unit, available at WikiLeaks.

His Sullied Highness
Let this be a lesson: if you are a Sovereign, and you hire an intelligence contractor who is not your subject, who is in fact a foreign national, and you fail to meet your contractual obligations with said national, do not be surprised that your sovereignty should be trumped by his sovereignty, belonging to the American People, who thus are now informed of said breach of contract, here published by the Superior Court of the State of California, spilling your privy intelligence for all the world to see...
Robert Eringer v. His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco
Update, Nov. 13
HSH has invoked sovereign immunity, so Mr. Eringer won't be getting paid. But, given what he knows, he certainly could write a book and pay himself back that way. From his web log...
Press Release
Update, Nov. 19
Eringer reopens the case, this time lodging the suit against Monaco itself. As we read in his post, "Eringer names the nation-state of Monaco as a defendant on the basis that Prince Albert acted on behalf of Monaco in his dealings with Eringer." But, Monaco is not simply a "nation-state," it is a principality. It may seem a pointless distinction, but it is a point the defendant might pursue... There is virtually no distinction between the person of the prince and the dominion of the principality. They are the two corporalities of the same sovereign, one mortal and one eternal. Read The King's Two Bodies by Ernst Kantorowicz for explication.
So, we do not expect this shall go far either. Really, the only way to resolve the dispute between these sovereign entities is by force. The United States will need to declare war against Monaco.

A Hankering for the Cyber Pearl Harbor
In the current issue of Foreign Affairs, General Wesley Clark and Peter Levin pen an essay, Securing the Information Highway, which contains a passage with a familiar tone:
Adversaries planning cyberattacks on the United States enjoy two other advantages. The first, and most dangerous, is Americans' sense of false security: this self-delusion that since nothing terrible has happened to the country's IT infrastructure, nothing will... Overcoming a complacent mentality will be as difficult a challenge as actually allocating the resources for genuine hardware assurance. Second, the passage of time will allow adversaries and cybercriminals to optimize the stealth and destructiveness of their weapons; the longer the U.S. government waits, the more devastating the eventual assault is likely to be.
The implied resolution to the problem is similar in tone not only to that of the infamous PNAC statement,
...the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor. -Pg. 51
- oft quoted by 9/11 "inside job" theorists as the proof of motive - but more so to that of the Hart-Rudman report for the U.S. Commission on National Security, or New World Coming, where in the report for Phase I (Aug. 1999), we read: "for many years to come Americans will become increasingly less secure, and much less secure than they now believe themselves to be." (italics in original)
The dilemma: Americans are asleep to the threat. How do we wake them up? Should we stage an event that is significant but not too devastating to the country?
Given some of the scenarios pondered in the Hart-Rudman report, such as full-scale nuclear detonations or bio attacks with casualties in the hundreds of thousands if not millions, we recall being somewhat relieved when the big day came. But, we were expecting it.
Ye best get off the grid, or at least be not quite so dependant on it.

LaRouche to the Rescue
If one read nothing but The Executive Intelligence Review, one might come away with the impression that the fate of the world rests in the hands of Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. During the month of October, we saw, though it wasn't readily apparent, the commencement of the next phase of the total breakdown of the monetarist system, as predicted by LaRouche, while Obama pow-wowed with his economic behaviorist advisers, all agents of British/Wall St. interests, lead by the most vile of human beings, Larry Summers, leaving the relatively capable and well meaning Paul Volcker to twiddle his thumbs in the White House basement.
Meanwhile, at the World Public Forum, held on the Island of Rhodes, Greece, LaRouche presented his "Four Powers Agreement" - a plan he has been promoting over the past several months to develop a world Hamiltonian credit system based upon principles of physical economy, doing away once and for all with the parasitical financial instruments of British imperialism. Lo and behold, simultaneously with the forum, talks were being held between Russia and China (two of the four powers - with India and the currently derelict U.S. completing the quartet) in which the neighboring countries agreed to significant infrastructural development throughout the Eurasian land mass, with China allegedly supplying it's U.S. debt holdings as collateral to help finance the projects. LaRouche commented...
“And what this means is, that now you have a stepping stone towards what I've proposed as the four-power agreement to launch a new world financial, a new credit system. And so this is extremely important. It is not all the way, yet — you know what's going on in the United States.”
What's going on in the U.S. is the ill-conceived, or rather, maliciously conceived attempt to bail out a failed financial system, by the design of that snivelling reptile and British agent, Larry Summers. But regardless, if current U.S. leadership is too incompetent to sort out its debt, the Chinese will know how to use it.
Or so "the LaRouche version of history" (Zbig Brzezinski's expression) would have it. The Obama apologists will counter, stretching credulity... 'well, Larry Summers helped get us into this mess... so who could be more qualified to get us out of it'...?
Or perhaps, Obama is simply "keeping his enemies close," letting them wreck the economy so as to discredit casino-capitalism once and for all. We recall, in his post-election 60 Minutes interview, that Obama suggested that 'we'll try things that might not work' in solving the economic problems, and then try other things. Hence, Summers and the "Goldman Sux" banksters have had the first go at undoing their mess. (The recent Frontline episode, The Warning, serves as a good primer on how this mess was set up in the '90s.) And up next: LaRouche's people? - whoever they might be... LaRouche occasionally alludes to his neglected team in the White House. For instance, beginning at time stamp 25:45 of this October 10th Zavtra interview, LaRouche says 'we have a group... a team of people who were originally selected to be advisers to Obama'...
But, back to the 60 Minutes interview with Obama, the following exchange is curious:
Mr. Obama: Yeah. I've been spending a lot of time reading Lincoln. There is a wisdom there and a humility about his approach to government, even before he was president, that I just find very helpful.
Kroft: Put a lot of his political enemies in his cabinet.
Mr. Obama: He did.
Kroft: Is that something you're considering?
Mr. Obama: Well, I tell you what, I find him a very wise man.
Was this a foreshadowing of a grand Machiavellian stratagem for thwarting the entrenched Wall St. and British financial interests? And all the while, behind the scenes, he quietly lays the groundwork for something like LaRouche's Four Powers, while LaRouche for his part plays the opposition (i.e. the LaRouchePAC town hall provocateuring - to entertain an alternate interpretation of that phenomenon from that which was put forward in our Controlled Aversive Environments post)...
Consider the continued snubbing of Gordon Brown:
Gordon Brown lurched from being hailed as a global statesman to intense embarrassment tonight, after it emerged US President Barack Obama had turned down no fewer than five requests from Downing Street to hold a bilateral meeting at the United Nations in New York or at the G20 summit starting in Pittsburgh today...
But Obama has held bilateral meetings in New York with the Chinese president, Hu Jintao, the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, and the new Japanese prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama.
We might be projecting more genius than is there. But as in all matters geo-political, time will tell.

Coming Soon: Jackbooted Lolitas
In further fulfillment of his campaign promise to develop a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded" as the military, Obama's Department of Homeland Security has struck up an affiliation with the Girl Scouts of America.
As one local news outlet (WATE of Knoxville, TN) gushingly put it...
Homeland Security is enlisting some unlikely new recruits to fight terrorism and help with other emergencies -- the Girl Scouts!
Decidedly less sanguine, however, is Prison Planet, noting that a similar program for the Boy Scouts involved training in which the young lads are instructed on how to subdue a "domestic terrorist"...
As we reported back in May when the program was announced, one of the “terrorists” that the Boy Scouts were trained to kill in one scenario was actually a disgruntled U.S. war veteran.
In the mock training scenario, the Boy Scouts were ordered to, “Put him on his face and put a knee in his back,” by a Border Patrol agent, who added “I guarantee that he’ll shut up.”
Parallels to the Hitler Jugend are inevitable. With uncanny timing, International Historical Films has just released Belief and Beauty - The History of the Nazi BDM Movement. As we read in the liner notes:
At its peak, the Hitler Youth organization in Germany boasted over eight million members. The Belief and Beauty Society for females 17-21 was a tie-in between the league of German Girls and the Nazi Frauenschaft. The idea was that girls should take part in the work of the whole Volksgemeinschaft/People’s Community before they went on to jobs or---ideally---to marry and have children.
Given the apparent Malthusian bent of the Obama Administration, however, we expect less of an emphasis on the latter duty.

End of a fed
A gruesome scene in a mountain cemetery of Clay County, Kentucky, discovered on September 12th by Jerry Weaver, with his wife and daughter, while visiting family graves:
"He was murdered," Weaver said. "There's no doubt."
"The only thing he had on was a pair of socks," Weaver said. "And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something."...
According to a Kentucky State Police statement, the body was hanging from a tree with a rope around the neck, yet it was in contact with the ground.
"And they even had duct tape around his neck," Weaver said. "And they had like his identification tag on his neck. They had it duct-taped to the side of his neck, on the right side, almost on his right shoulder."
He could see writing on Sparkman's chest, but could not read that it said "fed."
Authorities have said the word was scrawled with a felt-tip pen.
As the victim was an employee of the Census Bureau, much is being made of this specific detail, particularly in "liberal media" outlets, with suggestions that the first blood has been shed in the civil war of our time, which up to now has only involved shouting.
A case in point, from the Washington Monthly:
...what we've learned thus far is gruesome, and continues to raise the prospect of what may have been a politically-motivated slaying. Faiz Shakir added, "Regardless of what the motive for the killing may have been, why would a murderer(s) take such pains to so blatantly convey anger, fear, and vitriol towards a Census employee? Perhaps because some on the right have created an impression that Census employees are terrifying."
The record on that front is clear -- Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Glenn Beck, and Neal Boortz have invested considerable energy in trying to convince confused, right-wing activists that the Census and those who work for the Census Bureau are not to be trusted, and may even be dangerous.
But, what is known of the case thus far scarcely lends itself to such interpretation. The purely jurisdictional aspects might tell us more. The entirety of Clay County is within Daniel Boone National Forest. As such, it is spared the ravages of mountain top removal mining. Instead, one of the main economic engines of the area, besides tourism, is marijuana farming. Being in a national forest, the abundance of public lands lends jurisdictionally fertile grounds for this illegal crop. But, at the same time, it makes for very tense relations between local growers and federal employees, even for hapless census workers... nay, especially for hapless census workers. Taking into account the increasingly nosey features of the census, particularly when it comes to documenting discrepancies between employment, income, home values and the like, these federal employees might rightly be regarded as reconnaissance agents in the war on drugs.
But, don't expect your average smarmy media morons to comprehend these subtleties. Rather, their socio-political milieu compels them to entertain the speculated motive... Like third rate conspiracy theorists, they give the buffoon Glen Beck far too much cache.
But on that score, it is interesting that the story broke (in the national media) two weeks late. The body was discovered on September 12th, which happened to be the signature day of Beck's patriotic campaign and rally in Washington. So, why not cart the story out in the immediate aftermath of the rally? Instead, the murder and its purported connection to anti-government sentiment on the right made the national media rounds immediately preceding the day that hearings were held in Congress for Ron Paul's "Audit the Fed" bill, this coming just as Paul published his book, End the Fed (a phrase we might imagine Sparkman's killers uttering in his final moments). This association would not be lost to the psy-ops string-pullers of the mainstream and "alternative" media. Even the name, Bill Sparkman, invites the association, by co-opting the logic of Paul's supporters: Ron Paul, the man whose bill will spark a Second American Revolution!
So, we think, the timing of the story is itself a volley in psychological warfare, overtly trashing the likes of Glen Beck; but subliminally, its main target is Ron Paul.

Census worker's death ruled a suicide
"He was murdered," Weaver said. "There's no doubt."
"The only thing he had on was a pair of socks," Weaver said. "And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something."...
According to a Kentucky State Police statement, the body was hanging from a tree with a rope around the neck, yet it was in contact with the ground.
"And they even had duct tape around his neck," Weaver said. "And they had like his identification tag on his neck. They had it duct-taped to the side of his neck, on the right side, almost on his right shoulder."
He could see writing on Sparkman's chest, but could not read that it said "fed."

Qaddafi in America
Today marks a signature moment in the history of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's relationship with the West, as he arrived in New York City, his first visit to the United States, for the United Nations General Assembly, which he will address on Wednesday. This once reviled dictator is now welcomed, if somewhat reluctantly, by the nation that once bombed his house in an failed assassination attempt.
Former President Reagan called Qaddafi the "mad dog" of the Middle East, and ordered the Navy strike on his residence, in retaliation for terrorist attacks on U.S. military personnel in Germany, of which Qaddafi was accused. But, it was under the most unlikely of presidencies, that of George W. Bush, in which diplomatic relations were officially re-established between the two countries in 2004, when Qaddafi willingly gave up his nuclear program and agreed to pay reparations for the 1988 Pan-Am Lockerbie bombing, of which a Libyan national was accused and convicted. (But we should add, the accused was recently released by the UK, in anticipation of an appeal, for which some have argued that it is likely he would have been acquitted.)
Shortly before diplomatic relations were normalized, however, there were certain unofficial diplomatic moves made by Qaddafi and a young U.S. citizen that laid the groundwork for the eventual, official thawing of relations.
Between the extremes of one President trying to kill the man to another President happily shaking his hand (as did Obama earlier this summer in L'Aquila Italy), if one were to identify a moment that tipped the momentum of this diplomatic trend towards its current apex, we would place it in November of 2002, when Qaddafi hosted the Miss Net World beauty contest in Tripoli. On this occasion, he befriended the American contestant, a statuesque beauty of Jamaican & Irish heritage, Tecca Zendik. There is a scene which has been documented in the film, Beauty Will Save the World, where Tecca was brought to tears when Muammar described the bombing of his house, in which one of his adopted children was killed. Recognizing that his anger was only for the government of the United States, and not its people, and in particular not for the lovely U.S. person in his presence, he consoled Tecca, and told her of his wish for friendship.
Eventually, he granted her Libyan citizenship and made her an honorary consul to the United States, before the U.S. government would recognize such a thing...
And the rest is history.
As it happens, Tecca is an acquaintance, and we do recall seeing her in October 2002, if memory serves correct, at the Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky, for a concert of the rock band Death Beam. She told us she was going to Libya for a beauty contest, and somewhat disbelieving, knowing the diplomatic situation at the time, we said, tongue-in-cheek, "well say hey to ol' Muammar!' Little did we know what would ensue...

Controlled Aversive Environments
This is an expression that might be applied to the numerous town hall meetings taking place around the U.S. over the past month or so, in which Representatives and Senators of both parties have been subjected to angry mobs of their constituents, furious over a panoply of issues, from "Obamacare" to the Wall Street bailouts. The hapless politicians at these events have been bewildered at the phenomenon.
From whence did this fury come? In particular, the public vitriol has been most concentrated upon the issue of the "death panel" provisions of the health care bill. However one might go about discrediting the use of the term (not our concern here to confirm or refute), it has proven to be a most potent political weapon in opposing Obama's program, and in contributing to a steep decline of his popularity.
This "meme" finds its origins circa mid-May, in Lyndon LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Review, where it is argued that Obama has adopted in its essentials Adolf Hitler's T-4 program, a health policy designed to sort out "lives unworthy of living," with medical treatment to be determined by health boards reviewing case by case the overall condition of patients (i.e. their age, other medical conditions, and of course, racial fitness).
According to Jeffry Steinberg, on behalf of LaRouchePAC, the "death panel" term and the Hitler comparisons have indeed traveled from LaRouche to Sarah Palin (who suggested that "Obamacare" would do away with her down-syndrome baby Trig) and onto the angry mobs:
One senior political operative told EIR that the Republican Party, desperate to regroup after the electoral defeats of 2006 and 2008, picked up the LaRouche attacks on the Obama health-care swindle, studied the documentation, concluded that LaRouche was absolutely correct, and jumped on the bandwagon. By last week, according to the source, every faction within the GOP had picked up on the LaRouche message—to the point that a frantic Karl Rove jumped in, to warn Republicans that they were losing control over the issue to LaRouche.
But Rove was really kicking himself: "Why didn't I think of that!"
The campaign that LaRouche has been waging against Obama had its inception on his April 11th webcast, where he presented a psychological profile of the President as suffering from a Nero complex. LaRouche suggested that Obama so badly wanted to be liked that he bowed down to "that shrinking woman," the reviled British Queen at the G-20 meeting in London the previous week, and in so doing he neglected the interests of the nation that he was there to represent. LaRouche at this time effectively declared war against the Obama administration (and particularly against the Benthamite economic behaviorists who have been running the show thus far), this being essentially the current campaign of his greater war against the British Empire.
This "war" is of course not of a military sort, and it is not merely a political campaign, but it is being waged, I shall argue, as psychological warfare against the President himself.
To begin with, the date of the April 11 web-cast will doubtless have been noted by LaRouche's inner circle, and by those who have followed the goings on of this political personality cult over the years. Two years previous, on April 11th 2007, Ken Kronberg, a LaRouche follower and publisher since the 1970s, committed suicide after LaRouche issued an internal memo suggesting that the "Boomers" - and in particular the print shop - needed to forget their old ways and get on with the new program, now being propelled forward with the LaRouche Youth Movement and its focus on the website. "The Boomers will be scared into becoming human..." he reportedly said. "Unless they want to commit suicide." The latter is precisely what his printer did just hours later.
Dennis King, a long time foe of LaRouche, argues that the responsibility for Kronberg's suicide was not his own:
Lyndon LaRouche and the Art of Inducing Suicide
(In reply, LaRouche wondered aloud: Is Dennis King Planning Suicide?)
Make whatever one wants out of this affair. What is of import here is the date itself, and the association with the alleged induced suicide. Given the nature of the personal attack against Obama, and of his psychological profiling, the latent message LaRouche was sending to his minions was: 'We're going to induce the President to commit political suicide!' - Unless, of course, if he were to jettison the behavioral economists, reject the British interests, and adopt LaRouche's policies.
This might not be such a bad thing, after all, but it is not our intent here to critique LaRouche's political, economic, and philosophical ideas (in fact, we might be rather sympathetic). Our concern is to understand how he is operating.
We'll note a few examples of his campaign over the past several months. Most famously, there is the "Obama-stash" - Obama as Hitler - an image which has been introduced at the town hall meetings and propagating through numerous media outlets worldwide (along with Alex Jones' chroma key minstrel, Obama as the Joker poster). In his August 1st web-cast (time-stamp 1:06 to 1:12), LaRouche said that Obama, Peter Orzag, the brothers Emanuel and other officials responsible for the design of this euthanasia program should suffer the same fate as the condemned Nazis at Nuremberg. Basically, without spelling it out, he suggested that Obama should hang - an explosive image, given this country's not too distant past. Then, taking the opposing position, from would-be executioner to defender against murderous, imperial scoundrels, LaRouche asked the question: Are the British Planning a Hit on Obama?
Knowing that the President must harbor an acute sense of paranoia, being in the unprecedented position that he finds himself (black and POTUS), a suggestion of assassination will only contribute to the "controlled aversive environment" that LaRouche is designing for Obama. And, it seems to be working, or at least LaRouchePAC is thus congratulating itself...
Is the President going mad?
We encountered the expression "controlled aversive environment" in the above cited article by Dennis King, where he characterizies it as a methodology for mind control:
The basic tactic is to develop psychological profiles of persons... and then, based on such profiling, to construct a "controlled aversive environment" around the targeted individual and exert insidious and ever-escalating psychological pressures that will hopefully cause the person to commit suicide (or that will increase the person's stress level to the point at which he or she will die from a coronary). One might call it psychological terrorism--or death via mental judo.
But a brief google search revealed the term's earliest known use in an article by LaRouche in the April 1974 issue of The Campaigner, Pg. 30, under his psuedonym, L. Marcus. In the paper, LaRouche describes the brainwashing techniques as developed by Tavistock psychologist John Rawlings Rees, whose methods were adopted by the Rockefeller/CIA interests and applied to whole populations. And indeed, as "Marcus" writes, profiling is a first step:
Since the system of social control and brainwashing developed by that gifted reactionary psychopath, [Rees], premises its fascist schemes on pathological features of the victims' existing belief system, it follows that the individual will refuse to assimilate the evidence on this point unless he is also prepared to deal with those profound neurotic disorders which render him so vulnerable to Reesian forms of fascist manipulation. -Pg. 8
The "unless" in the sentence is the term upon which the whole operation hinges. Similarly, we find it in the April 11 2007 memo. The individual will fall to the Reesian ruse, unless he doesn't. Kronberg did. But, what will Obama do? LaRouche profiled, he then adeptly controlled the aversive environment, and now it is Obama's time to act. This Wednesday, before a joint session of Congress, he will act. It is being hyped as if his Presidency hinges on this address. Perhaps it does.
Sept. 12: Update & Correction
Our assertion that the comparisons of Obama's health care plan to that of Hitler originated with LaRouche is over-stated. As History Commons reveals, such comparisons were being made as early as February in the Washinton Times. But regardless, the Obama-stash poster, which has become iconic of the mass strike at the town hall meetings, most definitely was issued by LaRouche's organization.
Speaking of the town hall phenomena, this was somewhat channeled into the joint sesssion of Congress for Obama's 9/9/9 speech Wednesday night when Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina very vocally called the President a liar as he delivered his address. While it is doubtful that Wilson got his nerve from LaRouche, it is worth noting that on his Sept. 8 web-cast (on the occasion of his 87th birthday), LaRouche himself called Obama a liar, then an idiot...
Mr. President, be a Mensch!
But, going beyond the LaRouche campaign, in another incident further contributing to the controlled aversive enviroment growing around the President, there was a temporary terrorism scare as Obama crossed the Potomic following a 9/11 memorial ceremony at the Pentagon.
Taking into account the comments of former CIA analyst Ray McGovern in a recent interview with Brad Friedman, this is the controlled aversive environment that Obama seriously needs to fear...
"Let me just leave you with this thought," he said, "and that is that I think Panetta, and to a degree President Obama, are afraid --- I never thought I'd hear myself saying this --- I think they're afraid of the CIA."...

The Death of Dr. Keeley
I should say Dr. Kelly, the British biological weapons expert, who was - increasing evidence suggests - "suicided" by elements within the government furious at his plans to expose the disinformation campaign regarding Saddam Hussein's non-existent, or at best, moldy weapons of mass destruction.
But Dr. Keeley will do as an instance of cinematic prescience. In the 1973 film The Satanic Rites of Dracula, a Dr. Julian Keeley is a microbiologist and a member of a satanic cult who is commissioned by the D. D. Denham company (the emphasis is on Dee), headed by Dracula himself, harboring a mass death wish not unlike that of the Queen's consort, Prince Philip, to develop the bubonic plague to be unleashed upon humanity. But upon the completion of his task, Keeley is suicided, for knowing too much.
With Dr. David Kelly, there were perhaps similar motivations to have him silenced. For he was writing a book that not only would expose the lies of the Blair government relating to Iraq's WMDs, but would, according to the recent documentary, Anthrax War, also reveal his own involvement in the development of race-specific pathogens in South Africa, a program we might imagine Prince Philip lending considerable moral support...
In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation - Prince Philip
In another scene of eerie preminiscence in the '73 Hammer film, a Secret Service woman is hunted in her automobile by a gang of motorcyclists. She is abducted to be fanged by Dracula, and eventually killed with a stake through the heart. But it is the abduction that conjurs the image of motorcycle riding paparazzi chasing through the streets of Paris late one August night in 1997, hounding a Royal to death in her smashed automobile. And so, our surrogate Dracula, Prince Philip, has been implicated in the assassination of Princess Diana as well.

And so, our surrogate Dracula, Prince Philip, has been implicated in the assassination of Princess Diana as well.

A Gödelian Bubble
Following Chris Martenson's demonstration that the Federal Reserve is apparently resorting to buying it's own debt (as China abstains) by simply printing more dollars, Jeff Nielson observes:
It is elementary economics that when you increase the dilution of anything that the value of each unit must decline. Thus, this adds yet another “bubble” to the U.S. bubble-economy: the U.S. dollar, itself. As with all bubbles, the drop in price will be both painful and rapid when awareness spreads concerning the latest U.S. con-game.
Ah, but this would be a unique species of bubble. Other bubbles (dot-com, sub-prime, etc.) involve external assets to which dollars refer. But, what happens when the dollar refers to itself?
The analogy here of a dollar based language of economic value, so to speak, being like a Gödel number based language of mathematics, is a bit contrived. (For one thing, a Gödel number is unique to a given mathematical expression, whereas a dollar amount can refer to multiple assets that happen to be appraised at that value.) Nevertheless, it can be said that we enter uncharted territory when dollars are made to give expression to their own value, much as when a Gödel number is made to represent its own expression, whence an oscillating true/false infinite regression results...
Of course, the physical dollar itself is a thing that can interact with real entities in the world that have economic value. We've heard the expression: "...not worth the paper it's printed on..." But what does the cocaine lodged within its fibers do to its value?

Conspiracy Theory
As participatory historical speculators, conspiracy theorists do operate upon manipulators, whether or not they are correct in identifying them. But, in their ascriptions of authorship to events, particularly to events they would predict, they are unwittingly recruitable by the more advanced manipulators. Of course, in turn (there is always the opportunity for another turn), the theorist can forge tactical maneuvers in answer to his own recruitment.
A case in point: Alex Jones has been suggesting that the H1N1 pandemic is a staged event, hyped by WHO and the media far beyond its real danger in order to give the New World Order an excuse to bring on martial law. But his recent guest, Dr. Henry Niman, for Flu Tracker, did much to dispel many of the stories about swine flu making the rounds, such as Len Horowitz's claim that it is man-made, and the claim Jones in particular has been repeating, that the virus itself isn't cause for alarm since thousands die every year of regular flu anyway; hence it must be NWO hype for ulterior motives. Niman makes the crucial point that yes, while thousands die of flu anyway, they are generally very sick, old or feeble to begin with. This is not the case with the current outbreak of H1N1. Moreover, the fact that there have been quite a few cases and deaths out of season in the Northern Hemisphere suggests that we could be in for quite an Autumn/Winter '09/'10. Another claim Jones and others have been making is that the vaccine is in fact the real killer, and will do more to realize Prince Phillip's dream of wiping out billions than the virus itself. Niman tries to dispel this as well.
Dr. Niman doesn't want to get into politics. But Jones is all about politics, and as such, he will be a considerable factor in what goes down in the coming months. In politicizing the virus, Jones may be doing more for or against the NWO agenda than even his bogeymen could have expected.

Sibel Edmonds v. Mean Jean
Though the case at issue is relatively insignificant - actually it is Schmidt v. Krikorian - what is significant is the involvement of FBI whistle blower Sibel Edmonds in providing, at the request of the defense, a deposition with testimony relating to what she heard as an eavesdropper on communications between agents of Turkish intelligence, the Turkish lobby, officials of the U.S. State Department, Department of Defense, as well as members of Congress. The details of her testimony have previously been suppressed by the State Secrets Privilege, as invoked by the Bush administration's Justice Department in 2002 and 2004. So, her testimony in this case will effectively act as bait for the Obama Administration to do the same.
The present case concerns a suit (through the State of Ohio Elections Commission) of Rep. Jean Schmidt against one of her rivals in the 2008 general election, David Krikorian, who accused her of taking "blood money" from Turkish interests as quid quo pro for her no vote on legislation recognizing the Armenian genocide under the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Schmidt claims these allegations are pure slander.
However, as Sibel Edmonds has first hand knowledge of the extent of of Turkish influence within Congress, her testimony will very likely be crucial to Krikorian's defense.
Potentially related to the allegations of Turkish involvement is the generous support that Schmidt received from then Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, according to "Mean Jean" Schmidt's democratic rival in the '08 campaign, Victoria Wulsin. As it turns out, Hastert happens to occupy Edmonds' State Secrets Privilege Gallery. And, he currently represents the Turkish lobby.
(Incidentally, Wulsin was slandered by Schmidt with false accusations of injecting malaria into unwitting Africans! But, the "Mean Jean" epithet was coined when she called the decorated Vietnam veteran & congressman John Murtha a coward on the House floor in 2005)

The Obama DoJ hemmed and hawed a bit, but in the end did not take the State Secrets bait.

Bernanke: if you let the elephant fall, all the grass under it gets crushed. -In answer to a question employing the metaphor of brush fires felling behemoths to make way for undergrowth. In other words, the small business undergrowth must feed off the nutrients of dead behemoths. But those behemoths were toxic.
Bernanke's appeal: "We need a structure." Perhaps this is a point upon which the Ron Paul faction might be negotiable. -But the structure must have interest-immunity (i.e. not available to factional stratagem) so that it is something with which BIS, for instance, can be trusted.
Interest immunity: a metaphysical impossibility?

Papa Tony: Guilty
Alamo guilty on all counts
Or as former member of the Alamo Foundation "Witty Schmitty" put it:
"in an appearent mix up of GODS law and mans..toney alamo was sent to jail for fucking lil' girls..."
Update: Friday, November 13th, 2009
Alamo sentenced
175 years, the maximum allowed by law.
And what did Alamo have to say for himself?
“I’m glad I’m me and not the deceived people in the world.”
Amen.

In his health care press conference (still in progress), Obama suggests that, given a choice between a red pill and a blue pill, if you know that the blue pill is the more efficient option, you will take the blue pill.
The analogy will not be lost to those familiar with the film, The Matrix. Arrod.co.uk explains...
The analogy will not be lost to those familiar with the film, The Matrix. Arrod.co.uk explains...
The question of which pill to take illustrates the personal aspect of the decision to study philosophy. Do you live on in ignorance (and potentially bliss) or do you lead what Aristotle called 'the examined life'...
The Matrix is a film filled with religious and philosophical symbolism. The plot supposes that humans live in vats many years in the future, being fed false sensory information by a giant virtual reality computer (the Matrix). The perpetrators of this horror are machines of the future who use humans as a source of power. Humans are literally farmed.
The central character of the film, Neo, is presented to us in the opening part of the film as a loner who is searching for a mysterious character called Morpheus (named after the Greek god of dreams and sleep). He is also trying to discover the answer to the question "What is the Matrix?"
Morpheus contacts Neo just as the machines (posing as sinister 'agents') are trying to keep Neo from finding out any more. When Morpheus and Neo meet, Morpheus offers Neo two pills. The red pill will answer the question "what is the Matrix?" (by removing him from it) and the blue pill simply for life to carry on as before...Saturday, July 18, 2009
Alamo on Trial, Pope in Hospital
As the trial of evangelist Tony Alamo began this week, Pope Benedict XVI fell and broke his wrist, in a clear sign to Alamo's followers that God is angry at the Vatican for the persecution of the self-proclaimed "World Pastor."
Alamo, whose real name is Bernie Lazar Hoffman, is on trial for 10 counts of violation of the Mann Act, as he is accused of transporting minors across state lines for sexual purposes. The trial opened with testimony from girls who say they were "married" to Alamo as young as eight years old, and then forced to engage in sexual acts with the now 74 year old evangelist.
Alamo alleges that he is under attack for speaking out against the Vatican, the U.S. government and the media. He released this statement last night on his website, Tony Alamo Ministries:
From Tony Alamo July 17, 2009 Regarding Government-Vatican Persecution vs. Tony Alamo
It is a violation of the US Constitution for the government to attack any religion, especially Christianity!! My trial is government vs. the Bible. The five young women who are falsely testifying against me have all been convinced to do so by the FBI.The FBI paid all of their tuition to go to a place called Wellspring, which is a “deprogramming center.” Deprogramming is a nice word for hypnosis, brainwashing, mind-control, voodoo, black magic. Their testimony is not to be believed because it is not true, and they are not in their right mind. They are under a hateful spell of witchcraft. They (in court) have all said that I, Tony Alamo, said, “The Lord said you are to marry me.” This is all a lie. I never told that to any one of them. Their testimonies cannot be believed because they are all uniformly brainwashed. They (the young women) never contacted the FBI; the FBI contacted every one of them and gave them thousands of dollars and many gifts to lie for them. The FBI is against the Bible, Christianity, God, and all Christian churches. The legal age of marriage is puberty. Webster’s Dictionary states childhood is the “state or time of being a child; state or time from birth or infancy to puberty or maturity.” Webster’s definition of puberty is “the age when one becomes capable to bear children, which is marked by maturing of the reproductive organs, with the onset of menstruation in the female; the period at which sexual maturity is reached.” The Bible says this as well. God’s Word, the Bible, never condemns a man for having more than one wife! Remember how they murdered, burnt up, the Christians at Waco, Texas! They are demonic. Witnesses for the FBI and all those they have paid to go to Wellspring are all saying the same thing that they are told to say.

Kim's Fireworks: Raw Electrons
After threatening to send missiles in the direction of the United States on the 4th of July, it would appear that Kim Jong Il was only speaking figuratively...
Federal Web sites knocked out by cyber attack
Among the targets: The Treasury Department, Secret Service, Federal Trade Commission and Transportation Department...
But it is the targeting of S. Korea as well which suggests that N. Korea is behind the attacks...
Web sites of major South Korean government agencies, banks and Internet sites also were paralyzed in a suspected cyber attack Tuesday. Ahn Jeong-eun, a spokeswoman at the Korea Information Security Agency, said the U.S. and South Korean attacks appeared to be linked.
The occasion? The 15th anniversary of the demise of Kim Il Sung, and of the accession of Kim Jong Il.

Lick This Boot
Poised to become the absolute overseer of world finance, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), headquartered in the boot-shaped "Tower of Basel" in Switzerland, has already been implicated (with the mark-to-market rule of the Basel II Accords) in triggering the sub-prime melt-down and credit crisis of 2007/8. Regardless, in April, the G-20 resolved to grant even greater powers to the boot. And, Obama's June 17th Report on Financial Regulatory Reform indicates his willingness to carry through with the agenda...

Son(of a)gun, Kim Jong Un the Successor
No mention of this yet in the DPRK news service, but as The Korea Times reports:
Spy Agency Confirms NK Leader's 3rd Son as Successor
Meanwhile, things are heating up after last week's successful underground nuclear test.
On the same day as the nuclear test, Kim Jong Il sent a message of condolence to the widow of the former S. Korean President Roh Moo Hyun:
On hearing the news that former President Roh Moo Hyun died in an accident, I express profound condolences to widow Kwon Ryang Suk and his bereaved family.
His sincerity is likely genuine, since Hyun's "peace and prosperity policy" (a continuation of Kim Dae Jung's "sunshine policy") stoked hopes of eventual Korean reunification, only to be quashed with the failure of his presidency...
The oddity of the message, however, is in the term "accident"... Hyun's death was no accident, but an apparent suicide.
But from issuing these heartfelt condolences, the "Dear Leader" now prepares to lob a few more missiles...

The Conflict Arena
For those not self-evident (i.e. ununiformed) enemy combatants, falling outside of the regular rules of war, but falling as well beyond the scope of jurisprudence, a special place will need to be established. These unique characters, it is alleged, cannot be released into society, here or abroad. They are simply too dangerous. Yet, circumstances are such that they cannot be prosecuted. President Obama, in Thursday's speech at the National Archives, "Our Security, Our Values" (beginning at time-stamp 27:40) describes a fifth category of Guantanomo detainees as fitting this mold. In certain cases, they cannot be prosecuted due to tainted evidence (i.e. they were tortured). Presumedly (though he does not here mention this scenario), in some instances, prosecution may be impossible because details related to the case at hand cannot be disclosed. The information held against the defendant rests in the oblique dominion of "sovereign immunity," a great black hole of intelligence into which everything may go, but from which nothing may come out (for the sovereign relinquishes the privilege of voyeurism by becoming a pornographer).
So, he is in search of a legal framework for dealing with this special category, as applies not only to these Guantanamo detainees, but to future terrorism suspects as well.
They must be contained.
But, if they cannot be prosecuted under the law, then they should be liberated.
Make a special place then... something of a geographic analog to the position of the "immunized sovereign" of the NSA, who may reside beyond the Constitution so long he remains a hermetic voyeur. Thus, the Conflict Arena... a "red zone" beyond the law... a dominion containing the Hobbesian war of all against all. All who may enter are beyond the verge of the law, whether they be former detainees, or military tourists, or "chicken-hawks" trying to prove themselves, or perhaps prison lifers optioning in. But all who enter are symmetrically armed with the most rudimentary of weapons and therewith engaged in a contest of uncertain outcome. Thus, the civil state contains a condition of primitive violence, lawfully circumscribing lawlessness.
So, where to put it?
Senator Feinstein: "We already incarcerate the worst of the worst in California."
Fine then, bring them to the CA: a carceralized Death Valley?

English Pirates by Somali Proxy?
It seems the ragtag Somali pirates have been gaining access to information gleaned from shipping communications scanned possibly from the UKUSA surveillance network (aka "Echelon"), along with with other details provided by informers said to be based in London.
Spain's Cadena SER reports.
For coverage in English, the UK Telegraph:
Somali pirates 'helped by intelligence gathered in London'
Was President Obama trying to tell us something with his humorous little slide show at the White House Correspondents Dinner (time-stamp 9:00), where the photo of his meeting with Gordon Brown segues into him meeting a pirate?

Something nefarious is going on here, and the U.S. is pulling out the usual terrorist bogeyman in an attempt to put a stop to ransom payments. Of course, it could be that some of the pirate cash is finding its way to Al Shabaab, which is precisely why GCHQ is offering its clandestine assistance (if we were to entertain a "LaRouche version of history" here - something along the lines of... controled chaos in a failed state is cheaper than a sovereign Somali gatekeeper to the Gulf of Aden/Red Sea)

"This conversation doesn't exist"
Another form of the the Liar's Paradox ("This sentence is false"), as uttered by Rep. Jane Harman at the end of phone conversation with "a suspected Israeli agent" recorded by the NSA.
Details in this Jeff Stein story...
Sources: Wiretap Recorded Rep. Harman Promising to Intervene for AIPAC
It is unclear whether or not this was an illegal wiretap. But, since the person on the other line was a foreigner, Harman foolishly made herself vulnerable to surveillance in connection with an investigation of Israeli espionage. (We wonder if her photo should occupy the position of the question mark in the Congressional section of Sibel Edmonds' State Secrets Privilege Gallery)
In any case, there is a certain irony here. Harman was a defender of the Bush policy on unwarranted domestic wiretapping. Indeed, her support of the policy was Gonzolas' motivation for not investigating further.
Given the strange logic implicit in the Obama DoJ argument for dropping the EFF suits against the NSA program, Harman's existential negation of the very communication she was engaged in, as it was in fact being recorded, provides us with a little brain teaser to indulge...
The government grants itself sovereign immunity from prosecution when it conducts illegal domestic wiretapping, so long as intercepted communications remain concealed from public view (that is, so long as the government is a "voyeur" and not a "pornographer"). What then, in the eyes of the law, is the existential status of communications that rest in this limbo of sovereignty?

The Sovereign Voyeur
In it's response to the Electronic Fronteir Foundation's lawsuit against domestic wiretapping (Jewel v. NSA), President Obama's Department of Justice has upped the ante, arguing in effect that there is no basis for the lawsuit on grounds above and beyond Bush's citing of "State Secrets Privilege." The new claim invokes the "sovereign immunity" of the government.
So, as Glen Grenwald writes in...
New and worse secrecy and immunity claims from the Obama DOJ
the Obama DOJ has now invented a brand new claim of government immunity, one which literally asserts that the U.S. Government is free to intercept all of your communications (calls, emails and the like) and -- even if what they're doing is blatantly illegal and they know it's illegal -- you are barred from suing them unless they "willfully disclose" to the public what they have learned.
In essense, the government asserts that it may collect any and all private communications, regardless of any law Congress has passed or may pass in the future, largely on the grounds that Congress has not waived the sovereign immunity of the government in the PATRIOT Act (see page 12 et seq. of the DoJ response). Congress has then effectively neutered its law making powers, at least when it comes to matters of surveillance.
The only case when government may be held liable for unlawful surveillance is when it publicly discloses its intelligence product.
We might say, then, the government of the United States is permitted to be a voyeur, so long as it does not become a pornographer...

Obama exhibitng Stockholm Syndrome?
The auguries suggested that the new U.S. President might be throwing the "special relationship" with Great Britain to the four winds. For reasons of ancestral torture at the hand of the British, Barack Obama seemed to be signaling a personal dislike for the Brits, ousting a bust of the venerated Winston Churchill from the Oval Office, and treating the current PM Gordon Brown like any old foreign leader during his initial visit to the White House.
But, when it came time for Obama to cross the pond, groveling before former masters became the assumed posture, as one headlline suggests:
First Black President Grovels to Virulently Racist Royal Family
The niceties of such meetings can conceal underlying hatreds, betrayed in ever so slight departures from the proper decorum. For instance, how dare Michelle Obama, a descendant of slaves, presume to embrace Her Majesty!
But, if this was disrespect, that was the least of what she deserved. In fact, if a generational, eye-for-eye execution of justice were to be delivered, we might imagine Barack Hussein Obama pulling out a machette and stabbing Her Royal Scabbard, booming in an Afro-English dialect:
AND DEES IZ VOR WAT YOU DEED TO MY GRANVATAR, HUSSEIN ONYANGO OBAMA!
But, no, instead we heard such statements as...
I think in the imagination of people throughout America, I think what the Queen stands for and her decency and her civility, what she represents, that's very important.
There is just a extraordinary affinity and kinship that we have. We owe so much to England; that when you come here there's that sense of familiarity, as well as difference, that makes it just a special place.
There's one last thing that I should mention that I love about Great Britain, and that is the Queen.
LaRouchePAC offers these psychological observations to explain Obama's conciliatory behavior towards British interests:
Obama's Popularity
Obama's Ego
Obama's Nero Complex
A Trip to the Woodshed
Given the family history, however, we might add to the psychological profile a diagnosis of Stockholm Syndrome.
In any case, with the run up to and during the G-20 meeting, it seemed that it was Brown and Obama, bringing the "USUK" together again, against the world... But, particularly against Merkel and Sarkozy:
Merkel and Sarkozy Sharpen Their Tone in London
The time of useless summits has passed," intoned Sarkozy. When it comes to the regulation of the financial markets, he said, there will be no room for negotiation. Merkel seconded her French counterpart, saying that "nothing can be swept under the rug." For Germany and France, she said, regulation is not up for debate. "Whoever doesn't understand that is paving the way to the next crisis," she warned.
And so they apparently got their way...
An almost historic compromise...
The proposals for tighter regulation of the markets were surely a victory for French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Ms Merkel, who had declared much tougher rules on hedge funds to be a 'red line'. If it drives some of the more greedy and destructive speculators out of the market, the move will receive popular support.
But there is also the very real danger these moves will prove too repressive for the financial sector - Britain's great wealth creator, let us not forget - which could find itself strangled by red tape...
G20 summit: New global regulatory regime to cover 'shadow banking'
"Systemically important" institutions – including the shadow banking that encompasses hedge funds and credit rating agencies – face new rules in an attempt to correct the major failures in financial regulation and supervision considered to be fundamental causes of the current problems...
An elated Mr Sarkozy said: "We would never have hoped to get so much."
But, not so fast Sarkie...
Gambling on a dream: but do the G20 figures add up?
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development took the G20's nod and on Friday began naming and shaming countries misbehaving and not meeting the new international standards on the exchange of tax information.
But the action on tax havens is not comprehensive. Low taxation zones will still operate and it is possible that closing tax-dodging territories will lead to new ones elsewhere.

DeSade and Mantis
As Lyndon LaRouche declares all out war on the British Empire, one wonders what must be going through Barack Obama's mind... There he sits in the White House, contending with one of the biggest economic crises in U.S. history, meanwhile having inherited two intractable wars. While he is working on easing the U.S. out of the war in Iraq, at the same time he is escalating military operations in Afghanistan. Proverbially, the rationale is that Iraq was Bush's optional diversion from the necessary war which was Afghanistan, now falling to pieces due to the neglect. So, we must refocus...
Very well, let us refocus upon this scene: Afghanistan happens to be old Great Game stomping grounds for the British Empire. Allegedly, one of the central reasons for this is the fact that Afghanistan is the world's number one opium producer. Add to this LaRouche's contention that Her Majesty is the world's number one drug pusher; it would follow that the U.S. military is effectively acting as the world's number one thug.
Now, there has been a minor controversy of late, especially in the UK press, as to why Obama treated Gordon Brown so badly during his recent visit to Washington. In exchange for Brown's gift of a pen holder carved from the wood of the anti-slavery vessel HMS Gannet, Obama pawned off a box set of DVDs (with the wrong regional code!), apparently giving little thought to its contents, being simply the top 25 of the American Film Institute's top 100 films of all time.
We have previously noted the personal reasons why Obama might harbor a dislike for Great Britain, but his motivations might go deeper... When Britain effectively relinquished the greater part of her empire (including Kenya) in the 1940s and '50s, the calculation was perhaps that she would not be entirely letting go, provided she could maintain a "special relationship" with her long former colony able and willing to take on the muscular functions of empire. Britain could then enjoy a comfortable, imperial retirement.
But perhaps President Obama and the U.S. are beginning to find the role a bit tiresome.
With this in mind, we think the Poe-esque horror B-flick Dungeon of Harrow (1962) would have made a nice inclusion in Brown's box set, being about a mad British count DeSade and his African slave & thug Mantis, who, being exiled on a leper island, torture the shipwrecked unfortunates who happen along. With some stretching of the imagination, the film could be viewed as an allegory of the "special relationship." Such an interpretation would not bode well for the U.S. or U.K., but we shall spare the reader the spoilers...

Stop Carving Her Breasts (for now)
The verdant mountain abounds like a voluptuous woman. Her terrain flows with the graceful, seeming suppleness of an enchanting Belle. But, the lithesome semblance is only that. Truly, her elegance rests upon the firmness of granite bedrock, concealing rich seams of coal. And, there lies the object, motivating one of the most egregious species of crime ever committed by Man upon Earth. The butchers disingenuously plead as if they could "reclaim" her delicate flesh. But, in truth, wielding dynamite and earth movers as their weapons, these knaves have scraped off her tender topsoil, dumped into maiden stream beds below, leaving her moist flowers forever entombed by the blasted rock, thus making a grisly chastity belt from what had been through the aeons the foundation of her sublime beauty. Is this some kind of lovemaking? No. Mountaintop removal is like unto the sexual mutilation of a lovely lady... nay, of a whole host of such lovelies.
This crime has been committed multiply with the consent of the States of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, along with the Federal Government of The United States of America. Until now... perhaps.
Today, we are happy to report that the EPA of the Obama Administration is putting a hold on mountaintop removal permits, pending further review...

Geoengineering: on the table
The current issue of Foreign Affairs features an article sure to stir the pot in the chemtrail research community, particularly as it comes from a Council of Foreign Relations publication...
The Geoengineering Option: A Last Resort Against Global Warming
A breif synopsis is in order. The authors' premise is that geoengineering, defined as climate control on a global scale (as opposed to local "rain-making" attempts), has not been tried yet. However, as global warming becomes more inimicable to economies, coastlines and even entire nations (such as the Maldives), rouge atempts to alter the climate -whether by individual nations or by non-state actors such as multinational corporations - will become more likely. Before this happens, we would be wise to scientifically study the option, in an internationally regulated manner, so that any potentially disastrous effects will be recognized early on. In short, the authors suggest that by researching this now, before any full-scale implementation, we may decide in an internationally enforceable way not to try the option, if its dangers are found to be too great.
Of course, there are many who say it is already operational, for example...

Chuck Norris for President (of Texas)
As anticipated, the militia movement is growing, and with it, a secessionist movement. None other than Chuck Norris has been speaking vocally about it lately, in a non-discouraging way, and has gone so far as to express his desire to be president... of Texas.
Obama's self-comparisons to Abraham Lincoln may turn out to be not too unfounded.

New Zealand plugs Pentagon privies
New Zealand plugs into secret Pentagon intranet
A leaked American study into military actions in Afghanistan reveals New Zealand is now plugged into the world's most secret intranet, allowing access to the Pentagon's battle plans.
"Secret Internet Protocol Router Network", or SIPRNET, is a sophisticated alternative to the internet, allowing New Zealand frigate control rooms and armoured vehicles access to material seen on generals' desks in Washington.
Defence Minister Wayne Mapp refused to comment on the link. "We don't discuss security matters," he said through a spokesman.
A spokeswoman for the United States embassy in Wellington said it would not comment on security or intelligence matters. "What I can say is that the US considers New Zealand a partner, a team-mate and an extremely close friend.
"Bilateral communication is an obvious part of such a friendship but the specific mechanisms we use for government-to-government communication are not something we discuss publicly."
New Zealand's place in the network has been revealed by whistleblower Wikileaks, which published a Rand Corporation study into intelligence operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Wikileaks says the study into counter-insurgency is a notable news and policy source for the wealth of revealing interview quotes it contains.
Rand says that, in Iraq and Afghanistan, coalition forces often did not have access to US intelligence and at times this put British soldiers at "mortal risk".
As a result the US National Security Agency and Defence Department opened SIPRNET "to a small pool of trusted allies", including Australia, Canada, Britain and New Zealand...

In non-redacted pages from Anthony Shaffer's Operation Dark Heart, as posted by Steven Aftergood...
Secrecy News: Operation Dark Heart - The Aftermath
We find some items which may be pertinent to the above on pages 55 & 56...
"New Zealand Defence Force troops were providing intelligence, as well as combat support, as part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops in the country."
"For Dave to offer to distribute raw data outside the NSA system, even though it would remain within the top secret security network, was also a radical move. Normally, the Fort got the raw, unanalyzed intercepts first and then they gave people like Dave what they thought he needed in the form of finished or near finished reports, but Dave had cut a deal with them. He was getting everything so that his hybrid team of New Zealand and U.S. SIGINT specialists could parse it and review it to establish their own intel. In promising me access to their intercepts, Dave was stepping way, way, way out on a limb."
