Blueprint For Global Enslavement: The New World Order is Here
Alex Jones' brand new documentary Endgame charts the history of the elite blueprint for social domination and control, outlining the ultimate plans that those who consider themselves the anointed have for our planet.
The first section of the film documents the rise of the banking cartels, who since 1800 have funded both sides of almost every war. Endgame charts the usurpation of the British economy by the Rothchild family who went on to bankroll all factions during the first world war providing armaments companies through banks in France, Austria, Germany and England.
Endgame then documents the fallout of the great war and the attempts to form a controlling League of Nations, which was ultimately blocked by Congress. Such frustration on the part of the elite led to the rise of two factions, fascists and Fabian socialists. Endgame documents how bankers again funded both sides during WW2 which ultimately led to the creation of the UN and the beginning of the movement to implement three power blocs via incremental globalism.
The second section of the film covers the Bilderberg group and Alex's documentation of the elite group at the 2006 meeting in Ottawa. It covers Alex's detention on the Canadian border at the behest of Bilderberg insiders themselves. Alex and his crew describe how they were interrogated for nearly twelve hours before finally being allowed entry into the country.
Featuring extensive interviews with Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin, veteran reporters who have been covering the meetings for 27 and 15 years respectively, Alex reveals how it is an offence for any member of the federal or state government to meet with foreign power brokers without the express authority of the president or Congress.
Endgame then shifts focus to the impending movement towards a North American Union, presenting reports and documentation relating to the efforts toward regional harmonization between the US Mexico and Canada at the secretive Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) summits, which refer to an "evolution by stealth" agenda.

They Gave Your Mortgage to a Less Qualified Minority
On MSNBC this week, Newsweek's Jonathan Alter tried to connect John McCain to the current financial disaster, saying: "If you remember the Keating Five scandal that (McCain) was a part of. ... He's really getting a free ride on the fact that he was in the middle of the last great financial scandal in our country."
McCain was "in the middle of" the Keating Five case in the sense that he was "exonerated." The lawyer for the Senate Ethics Committee wanted McCain removed from the investigation altogether, but, as The New York Times reported: "Sen. McCain was the only Republican embroiled in the affair, and Democrats on the panel would not release him."
So John McCain has been held hostage by both the Viet Cong and the Democrats.
Alter couldn't be expected to know that: As usual, he was lifting material directly from Kausfiles. What is unusual was that he was stealing a random thought sent in by Kausfiles' mother, who, the day before, had e-mailed: "It's time to bring up the Keating Five. Let McCain explain that scandal away."
The Senate Ethics Committee lawyer who investigated McCain already had explained that scandal away -- repeatedly. It was celebrated lawyer Robert Bennett, most famous for defending a certain horny hick president a few years ago.
In February this year, on Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes," Bennett said, for the eight billionth time:
"First, I should tell your listeners I'm a registered Democrat, so I'm not on (McCain's) side of a lot of issues. But I investigated John McCain for a year and a half, at least, when I was special counsel to the Senate Ethics Committee in the Keating Five. ... And if there is one thing I am absolutely confident of, it is John McCain is an honest man. I recommended to the Senate Ethics Committee that he be cut out of the case, that there was no evidence against him."
It's bad enough for Alter to be constantly ripping off Kausfiles. Now he's so devoid of his own ideas, he's ripping off the idle musings of Kausfiles' mother.
Even if McCain had been implicated in the Keating Five scandal -- and he wasn't -- that would still have absolutely nothing to do with the subprime mortgage crisis currently roiling the financial markets. This crisis was caused by political correctness being forced on the mortgage lending industry in the Clinton era.

“Save Capitalism from the Capitalists”
To say that the trillion dollar plus bailout about to be rammed through is wildly unpopular is a gross understatement. What’s surprising is that the conglomerate of critics is not limited to libertarians or fiscal conservatives or even pragmatists, but includes individuals who are quasi-socialists and/or typical Bush Admistration loyalists.

Wall Street Socialists
The financial crisis gripping the U.S. has the largest banks and insurance companies begging for massive government bailouts. The banking, investment, finance and insurance industries, long the foes of taxation, now need money from working-class taxpayers to stay alive. Taxpayers should be in the driver's seat now. Instead, decisions that will cost people for decades are being made behind closed doors, by the wealthy, by the regulators and by those they have failed to regulate.

Is Obama a socialist?
by: World Socialist Party (US)
http://www.wspus.org/?p=515
13 September 2008
We got a an e-mail recently from some right-wing blogger for the New York Times who asked if we considered Barack Obama a socialist and if we supported his tax plans. blah, blah, blah. We won’t pass judgment on an article which may or may not see the light of day. But most likely this was another piece attempting to get someone calling themselves socialist to endorse Obama or one of his policies. Once that confession is procured, it will be widely touted as proof of Obama being a socialist, an elitist, etc.
But is Obama a socialist? OMFno-G no.
Obama isn’t anymore a socialist than McCain is a fascist, a leprechaun or sincere. Sure, Obama wants more government control of economic matters. But as even Obama said if you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. Capitalism administered by the state is still capitalism. Duh.
No one’s calling Bush a socialist because he nationalized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because it’s not socialism. So why call Obama a socialist?
This election is all about two factions of capitalism competing for power with each-other.
The methods each faction uses to mobilize the working class to support them says much about the lack of class-consciousness in the US today.
The Democratic faction uses appeals for “justice” and “equality”, for tax breaks for workers even though most workers don’t “pay” enough taxes to make the breaks more than pavlovian whistles. Sure “equality” sounds nice, but it cannot happen in class society. The vast majority of people are workers for a reason - to create wealth for new rounds of capital growth. Those who benefit from that capital growth can be individual capitalists or state functionaries, but it’s workers who do the physical labor which creates the wealth. There can be no equality or justice in capitalism. Even if the capitalist class has now opened it’s membership roles to non-whites and females.
For being so slavish to Christian zealots, one would think the Republicans would “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”. But being able to pay for such things as public infrastructure - ie highways, electric system, etc. takes a backseat to the accumulation of capital for massive investment in China, Mexico and India. So like the Democratic faction, they seek to slash public spending and taxes. Of course, underscoring their religious hypocrisy, the Republicans have spent more than any other administration building US federal debts to record highs. It is fortunate that US federal bonds which pay for all that debt are held by those whose taxes were cut - the capitalists.

Socialism Realized
There is no question that the health care system in America is quite ominous in several ways. High costs, inefficient systems, and only a handful of major providers all contribute to a burnt out complicated system that has driven our country into despair. Clearly this system needs some improvement. But the question of recent months is... how? Is it the federal government's responsibility to provide not only health care, but pay for it as well? Mr. Obama thinks so. In fact the new rallying cry of the presidential candidate is that health care is not a privilege but a right. Now in all fairness the benefit that Medicare has provided to so many seniors is quite considerable. And to that degree I concede. However when the government begins to tip the scales in favor of universal health care for all, the line has definitely been drawn too far. The Obama health care plan suggests that all Americans will have health care coverage. But when considering such a noble plan, is the reality of the plan one that will ameliorate the aches and pains of the current health care set up, or will it drive the situation even further into chaos? There are a couple of items worth reviewing when critiquing this plan. First, cost. Mr. Obama's health care plan will cost in the range of $100 billion dollars annually. This is roughly 2/3 the cost of the Iraq war, and far less what Mr. Obama plans to spend in education. Given our countries spending habit, (under Bush the government has expanded over 30%) the current economic malady cannot handle much more spending. Mr. Obama however would like to suggest that the spending can be equalized by new revenue to the government bank gained through coroporate taxes, capital gains taxes, wealthy taxes, and the death tax. Mr. Obama also asserts that when he "ends the Iraq war" that the money the government is spending on it would go into the new spending agenda. In a nutshell the only way Mr. Obama can get the money to provide universal health care is through higher taxes and the reduction of spending on defense.

Chavez may hug king, won't shut up
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday he would like to give the king of Spain a hug when he visits Europe next week, but the outspoken leader, referring to a diplomatic spat last year, said he will not shut up.
King Juan Carlos sparked a furor in November by shouting "Why don't you shut up?" at Chavez when he tried to interrupt a speech by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero at the Ibero-American summit in Chile.
Ties have improved since then and the Spanish government said last week that Chavez will meet the king on a visit to Spain next week.
"I'd like to give the king a hug, but you know, Juan Carlos, that I am not going to shut up," a smiling Chavez said on his weekly television show before setting of to Russia for the first leg of his tour.
"We will keep talking for ourselves, for a just and equal world," the left-wing president said.
The king's November outburst made headlines around the world, spawning songs, jokes and even a ringtone for mobile phones.

Chavez party seeks changes for 3rd term
Venezuela's ruling party pledged Thursday to seek to reform the nation's constitution to let President Hugo Chavez seek indefinite re-election.
Proposed changes to end the two-term limit for presidents will be presented to Congress or the National Electoral Council and ultimately to voters after state and municipal elections now scheduled for November, said Freddy Bernal, a leader of Chavez's United Socialist Party.
"The purpose of this amendment is to ask the country if they want or don't want the re-election of President Hugo Chavez," Bernal said in a televised interview. "If we want peace, tranquility and development in the country, Hugo Chavez must continue being president."
Chavez, who was first elected in 1998, is barred from running again when his term expires in 2013. Venezuela's ruling party pledged Thursday to seek to reform the nation's constitution to let President Hugo Chavez seek inde... more -

what will the extreme right do to checkmate the left
cause we must accept that the right's brain storming sessions are quite huge, and they only choose and have chosen what benefits them the most, period. so when they are "virtually" chilling, compared to other averages of right wing activity, one can only out think them by..... well, by doing the same thing, but having the advantage of knowing what their flawed issues are (aka inequality)
so, that article talks about that "virtual pause", and this one
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/opinion/29rich.html?_...
talks about how a new terrorist attack may or may not "help"
i do not know what their next move will be to checkmate the left, but i do know that their only chance in this highly rational and enlightening technological era we are lucky to live in, would be to rule by force or be ruled by reason; and common sense, logical reasoning and equality have never been part of their agenda.
the rule of law helped the spreading of abusive powers that used to be monopolized in the king, queen or any other ruler of the land. law put people against one another, layers of employees who are not responsible for what their employers do are the ones answering questions when shit hits the fan. the culture of eliminate or be eliminated cannot continue.

Cuba: the Socialist vs. Capitalist debate
In the past weeks and months people have been trying to work out how far exactly Raúl Castro has been willing to push through reforms. Anyway does all this account to the “death knell” of socialist Cuba as we know it and the emergence of a new capitalist state, or rather as rational steps to perfect Cuba’s statist economy? This is the debate that’s been played out in a number of opinion pieces I’ve stumbled across in the British press of late.

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president
Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington
The Guardian, Saturday September 25 2004
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time. There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.
Remarkably, little of Bush's dealings with Germany has received public scrutiny, partly because of the secret status of the documentation involving him. But now the multibillion dollar legal action for damages by two Holocaust survivors against the Bush family, and the imminent publication of three books on the subject are threatening to make Prescott Bush's business history an uncomfortable issue for his grandson, George W, as he seeks re-election.
While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade. The Guardian has seen evidence that shows Bush was the director of the New York-based Union Banking Corporation (UBC) that represented Thyssen's US interests and he continued to work for the bank after America entered the war.
Tantalising
Bush was also on the board of at least one of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world.

Colombia: FARC rebels vow to continue fight the government
Colombia's largest rebel group pledged Sunday to carry on in its decades-long war against the U.S.-backed government after confirming that the group's legendary commander had died of natural causes. The Defense Ministry had said the day before that Manuel Marulanda, who led one of the world's oldest insurgencies in a brutal if quixotic battle against the state, had died in March.
"With immense sadness, we inform that our commander in chief, Manuel Marulanda Vélez, died March 26 of a heart attack in the arms of his companion and surrounded by his personal guard," Rodrigo "Timochenko" Londoño, one of seven members of the guerrilla directorate, said in a video provided to a Venezuelan state television station, Telesur. "Our struggle continues without rest until we reach the objective of a new Colombia, a great Latin American fatherland and socialism."
The announcement closes a long chapter in the history of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, and raises the possibility that the new rebel leadership may consider peace negotiations in the face of a military offensive that has recently resulted in the deaths of top commanders and the desertions of thousands of fighters. Colombia's largest rebel group pledged Sunday to carry on in its decades-long war against the U.S.-backed government after confir... more -
Why is May Day unAmerican?
May Day got its start as international workers' solidarity day in the campaign for an eight-hour work day that began in the U.S. In 1886, American labor unions chose May 1 to hold nationwide rallies.
A demonstration that turned violent in Chicago three days later -- the famous Haymarket affair -- led to the execution of four anarchists, who were then held up as martyrs by the international labor movement. In 1889, an international workers' congress met in Paris and earmarked May 1, 1890, as a workers' holiday, partly in commemoration of the Haymarket struggle. May Day caught on as a workers' solidarity day in Italy and across Europe, where it's still observed.
The U.S. government was not eager to encourage memorials to the Haymarket riots or their political sympathizers, so Labor Day, designated as the first Monday in September, became the U.S. federal holiday in 1894.
May 1 has an official designation by the U.S. government, dating from 1958 and renewed by President Bush in a 2007 proclamation: Loyalty Day. It's meant as a day to reaffirm loyalty to the United States.
May Day, at least in Italy, was a time not just for celebration -- with the big dinners and dances at Socialist halls -- but a political call to arms in the ideological struggle to unite the working class and fight exploitation.
On this May Day, The International Longshore and Warehouse Union has announced plans to shut down all West Coast ports in protest of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the first time in decades that an American union has decided to undertake industrial action against a U.S. war. May Day got its start as international workers' solidarity day in the campaign for an eight-hour work day that began in the U.S. ... more -
