September 11 -- The New Pearl Harbor (FULL)

Interesting perspective on the Fed

The nation would survive without the Federal Reserve, but the Federal Reserve would not survive without the Deep State. The Fed is not the Deep State; it is merely a tool of the Deep State.
This brings us to the U.S. dollar and the Deep State. The Deep State doesn't really care about the signal noise of the economy--mortgage rates, minimum wages, unemployment, etc., any more that it cares about the political circus ("step right up to the Clinton sideshow, folks") or the bickering over regulations by various camps.
What the Deep State cares about are the U.S. dollar, water, energy, minerals and access to those commodities (alliances, sea lanes, etc.). As I have mentioned before, consider the trade enabled by the reserve currency (the dollar): we print/create money out of thin air and exchange this for oil, commodities, electronics, etc.
If this isn't the greatest trade on Earth--exchanging paper for real stuff-- what is?While I am sympathetic to the strictly financial arguments that predict hyper-inflation and the destruction of the U.S. dollar, they are in effect touching the toe of the elephant.
The financial argument is this: we can print money but we can't print more oil, coal, ground water, etc., and so eventually the claims on real wealth (i.e. dollars) will so far exceed the real wealth that the claims on wealth will collapse.
So far as this goes, it makes perfect sense. But let's approach this from the geopolitical-strategic perspective of the Deep State: why would the Deep State allow policies that would bring about the destruction of its key global asset, the U.S. dollar?
There is simply no way the Deep State is going to support policies that would fatally weaken the dollar, or passively watch a subsidiary of the Deep State (the Fed) damage the Deep State itself.
The strictly financial arguments for hyper-inflation and the destruction of the U.S. dollar implicitly assume a system that operates like a line of dominoes: if the Fed prints money, that will inevitably start the dominoes falling, with the final domino being the reserve currency.
Setting aside the complexity of Triffin's Paradox and other key dynamics within the reserve currency, we can safely predict that the Deep State will do whatever is necessary to maintain the dollar's reserve status and purchasing power.

Saudi Arabia my two cents on the terrorist middle man for the CIA (+play...

No real time for this... just a ramble. Not really an important issue.

(Interesting that both Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky show Bill Clinton’s same preferences.)

Except that one could have been a spy playing the part of a bimbo that was transferred to the Pentagon (smart enough to save her blue dress, etc.) while the other was most likely just another victim of a psychopath.

It's not as if the corporate media was really going to follow through on an actual investigation.  They never do.  After all, the narrative in the corporate media was set that she was just a bimbo.  And narrative > fact, once a story is propagated and "set."  But how do these narratives get started through the "main streams" of information that govern DC, again?

And what if factions in the NSA were listening, the possibilities are endless when a president makes himself that vulnerable.  But according to the narratives of the corporate media no one knew about it (no one at all) and Monica was just a witless bimbo.  (Apparently it's normal for a bimbo to save a dress with DNA on it.)

Regardless, once the narrative or "how it plays" is set in the minds of trendy journalists (blue or red, Left or Right), why would they actually investigate any other more important or significant angles than "set" or settled stories?

Look at Moseley and Nobody, still framing their debate within the narratives of "workplace" vs. "private" originally created by the corporate media...  all these years later. 

No need to investigate beyond that, after all... the story was that Lewinsky was just a bimbo that happened by.  (Sort of like the troupes of bumbling clowns in the national security state that bumble their way to bigger budgets and more influence for their factions or criminal bureaucracies every time terrism takes place.) 

Maybe that's all she is, a bumbling bimbo... if she isn't, then she plays the part of a clown well.  But any sinister aspect to these clowns should be an open question, given everything going on in the background:

On a visit to Washington, D.C., in 1998, Netanyahu hooked up with Jerry Falwell at the Mayflower Hotel the night before his scheduled meeting with Clinton.
   “I put together 1,000 people or so to meet with Bibi and he spoke to us 
that night,” recalls Falwell. “It was all planned by Netanyahu as an 
affront to Mr. Clinton.”
   That evening, Falwell promised Netanyahu that he would mobilize pastors 
all over the country to resist the return of parts of the occupied West 
Bank territory to the Palestinians. Televangelist John Hagee, who gave $1 
million to the United Jewish Appeal the following month, told the crowd 
that the Jewish return to the Holy Land signaled the “rapidly approaching 
… final moments of history,” then brought them to a frenzy chanting, “Not 
one inch!”—a reference to how much of the West Bank should be transferred 
to Palestinian control.
   The next day, Netanyahu met with Clinton at the White House. “Bibi told me 
later,” Falwell recalls, “that the next morning Bill Clinton said, ‘I know 
where you were last night.’ The pressure was really on Netanyahu to give 
away the farm in Israel. It was during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.… 
Clinton had to save himself, so he terminated the demands [to relinquish 
West Bank territory] that would have been forthcoming during that meeting, 
and would have been very bad for Israel.”   Vanity Fair

  That's just a Christian Zionist saying that the Lewinsky scandal brought pressure on Clinton.  Factions in Israel:

....Likud-oriented Israelis, fearing the effects of presidential pressure on their government, perceived Lewinsky in positive terms, as a modern-day Queen Esther "whose intimate relationship with the nation's rulers saves her people from a horrific fate."23 Or, more pungently: "Monica will go down in history as the woman who had sex with an American president and saved an Israeli prime minister."24
   In contrast, Labor Party circles in Israel excused the U.S. president out of friendship for him. Thus, Yitzhak Rabin's widow Leah affectionately called him "quite a rascal [who] should have been more careful."  meforum.org

  I guess like including the Book of Esther in the Bible in the first place, once the script and the "Scripture"/narrative is set... the facts don't matter.  So to suggest that Lewinsky wasn't just another bumbling and stumbling clown among all the troupes of them in DC...  would be beyond the "mainstream." 

There again, I have no use for the corporate media and the main stream of lemmings anymore.

So what if groups of psychopaths usually are not all as stupid and incompetent as they sometimes make themselves appear in order to hide their conspiracies and their intents?  What if Hillary wasn't just incompetent on Benghazi and didn't bumble and stumble and then hit her head or whatever before she could testify, like yet another clown? 

I'm tired of all these clowns and the shows that they put on.  (Actually, I doubt that even W was half so dumb as he appeared.)  Shrug.  More entertainment.

Interesting comment...

Perhaps I am off base, but I would assume that most of you are more established, somewhat older individuals. Keeping this in mind, I figured that I would respectfully chime in with my opinion, as a recent college grad and early career professional.
Something that I see missing from a lot of the discourse occuring at this, and other sites, is a realistic view of the current job market for young and/or entry-level job seekers. Being the great grandson of sharecroppers, and the greatnephew of a woman who literally drove those who refused to take the bus during the Montgomery boycott, I understand the power of opportunity. I won merit based scholarships, that allowed me to attend very prestigious schools, and worked the whole way through as well. I understand that nothing is given, and dues always have to be paid.
That being said, this economy is not what it was when you guys were looking for jobs. Employers know that they have us, for lack of a better phrase, by the balls. Unemployment is high, and if we didn't know we all weren't special snowflakes before, we sure do now. People with Masters Degrees are happy to get a job in retail. The s*** has hit the fan. It is BRUTAL out there.
Do you guys understand that nothing can be taken for granted anymore? I was literally told by a former boss that one should not apply for a job today that you aren't comfortable doing forever. "Entry level" is becoming more of a misleading misnomer day after day. Raising the minimum wage doesn't just help unskilled or, as it has been suggested here, unmotivated, workers. Most entry-level jobs here in Chicago requiring a Bachelors, pay no more than $12/hr. Only $3/hr more than the increased hike.

From this article.  I didn't actually read the article because the first paragraph seemed like a joke: 

 BARACK OBAMA has long made income inequality a central theme of his second-term agenda. He has already tackled inequality from the top by preserving tax cuts for everyone but the rich. In his address to Congress on February 12th, he dealt with it from below, proposing to raise the federal minimum wage by 24%...

Lol... SERIOUSLY?

Another dead banker...

Ordinarily we would ignore the news of another banker's death - after all these sad events happen all the time - if it wasn't for several contextual aspects of this most recent passage. First, the death in question, as reported by the Stamford Daily Voice is that of Ryan Henry Crane, a Harvard graduate, who is survived by his wife, son and parents at the very young age of 37. Second, Ryan Henry Crane was formerly employed by JPMorgan - a bank which was featured prominently in the news as recently as two weeks ago when another of its London-based employees committed suicide by jumping from the top floor of its Canary Wharf building. Third: Crane was an Executive Director in JPM's Global Program Trading desk, founded in 1999 by an ex-DE Shaw'er, a function of the firm which is instrumental to preserving JPM's impeccable and (so far in 2013) flawless trading record of zero trading losses.

The Antikythera Mechanism

Multiculturalism

It may be that aspects of multiculturalism are just a scam created by Jewish Marxists of the Frankfurt school. 

Have Jewish organizations or Jewish Marxists and so forth ever been big on supporting multiculturalism in Israel or within their own perceived tribe?  Or do they want their own religious and ethnic state, as a tribe that isn't very "multi"?  Anti-miscegenation laws and so forth among themselves but calls for intermarriage for everyone else and so on?  Why is that? 

From Freud to Marx, Talmudists and other converts to Judaism or people that have an ethnic perception of themselves as members of a tribe above all other tribes seem to tend to support multiculturalism and/or the dissolution of all other cultures, yet they are usually tribalists or even racial supremacists themselves.

A source of Marxism and the usual pattern of "multiculturalism" for everyone but Zionists and tribe members:

Moses (Moshe) Hess (January or June 21, 1812 – April 6, 1875) was a Jewish philosopher and socialist, and one of the founders of Labor Zionism.  ....  Hess converted Engels to Communism, and introduced Marx to social and economic problems. ...
   Hess was probably responsible for several "Marxian" slogans and ideas, including religion as the "opiate of the people." Hess became reluctant to base all history on economic causes and class struggle, and he came to see the struggle of races, or nationalities, as the prime factor of history.  --Wikipedia

Convert to Judaism, I guess.... and then you get to police all other tribes or support multiculturalism for everyone but your own perceived tribe and nation.  

Random note, ever notice how the Holodomor hasn't been framed as a tribal "sacrifice" that establishes the right of Christian Ukrainians to go to Israel and bulldoze the houses of Israelis down?  Maybe the whole idea of holocausts and the concept of a human sacrifice made by fire is tribal, which is why it doesn't quite add up.

“We can’t equate the Holocaust of the Jews in Germany with the Holodomor in Ukraine. Ukrainian Jewish leaders do not support recognizing the Holodomor as genocide.” — Baltimore Jewish Times, Nov 14 2007.

 But why not?  They're not members of the tribe that has wrapped a religion around the concept of "race"?  There again, who is a real member of the tribe?  After all, there are various factions despite the way that the rabbis treat heretics and the brutal methods that they've employed to hold their supposed tribe together.  Not to mention the cycle of violence and tribalism/nationalism many rabbis tend to create among reactionary goyim that begin to realize the racism and tribalism involved in their teachings, which tends to justify some type of collective or tribal response in the minds of reactionaries.  Etc. 

A Federal Rerseve Note

Facebook ramble... might think about this later.

From the article:  "For example, Scripture is of no help for getting someone to the moon. It isn’t a book on calculus, rocket science, or orbital trajectories. But no Christian expects it to be that, either. Why would they? That isn’t the purpose of Scripture according to Scripture." 

The only problem being, this isn't the way that people actually live their lives by compartmentalizing themselves into neat compartments loosely associated with the Right/Left divide.  Or for those into mythologies of progress where "red state" rubes and shepherds are always wrong but "blue state" wise men are always right and progressive... actually they can both be guided to find the Truth. 

Anyway, perhaps Scripture is of help for getting someone to the moon because they might have been killed in a Darwinian struggle for life if people around them took a Darwinian view of them.  Or they might have been expelled from their nation like the Nazis did to Jewish scientists, often based on Darwinian creation myths.  Or perhaps scientists might not be able to trust the research work of others because of the way that culture changes when a Word and Scripture based worldview deteriorates, naturally.  For instance, imagine if Tesla and Newton had the same mentality as the Illuminati and sought to use their science to control and manipulate people.  Fake alien invasion passed off as the "gods" that guided evolution incoming.  Etc.  Don't think that we're necessarily better than the ancients due to technology.  Within a generation of apocalyptic events, people could be led to sacrifice others (any political enemies of the elites closer to the top of the pyramid scheme, most likely) in order to move the sun across the sky or "save" the sun from an eclipse.   

People are whole in the brains between their temples.  They are not abstractions or compartments like "religion" and "science."  That's merely a useful heuristic, if anything.  And one might begin to question how useful it's been if people have begun to think that reason is the enemy of Jesus.
