Gerald Celente: “I Have That Feeling” It’s 9-11 All Over Again!
- Gerald Celente: “I Have That Feeling” It’s 9-11 All Over Again!
By Dominique de Kevelioc de Bailleul, http://www.beaconequity.com/
In back-to-back interviews on the Gary Null Show and the Tommy Schnurmacher Show, Gerald Celente sees another mega geopolitical quake to match the shock-and-awe of 9-11 in America’s not-to-distant future.
-
“I’m worried about the drumbeats of war getting louder and louder,” Celente told CJAD talk show host Tommy Schumacher, Monday. “It’s coinciding, as well, with the economic collapse that’s happening throughout Europe.”
-
Celente went on to say that, when sociopath and psychopath politicians get into trouble with their constituents due to a poor economy, those pols, who can divert the public’s attention away from the nation’s financial problems and redirect the collective anger toward the threat of an outside enemy, will use their power to take that nation to war at a politically advantageous time.
-
“It’s reaching a critical mass right now, and I haven’t felt this way since December 14, 2000,” said Celente, and noted that he senses desperation in the voice and actions of Israel’s, Benjamin Netanyahu, the present and very unpopular prime mister in that Mideast country. “I have that feeling now” with Netanyahu, said Celente.
-
“This guy, Netanyahu, he has 60 percent disapproval rating right now, and I’ve seen it before,” Celente continued. “I remember Bill Clinton, you know, wag the dog. Every time he’d get into trouble with Monica Lewinsky, it was bomb over Baghdad. They continually do this.”
-
After wavering earlier this summer whether to remain in the U.S. or flee from a “fascist” dictatorship shaping up in America, the 65-year-old Celente told InfoWars’ talk show super-star personality, Alex Jones, that he will not allow a “bunch of freaks” in Washington chase him out. Celente said he will stay and fight. But the personal struggle on this question continues to weigh heavily on his mind.
-
Whether another 9-11-like event takes place on U.S. soil or overseas, Celente now seriously contemplates fleeing America if the U.S. or Israel instigates another 9-11 incident—either through a false-flag attack or other pretension to ‘justify’ a politically unpopular position to attack Iran. An attack on Iran, he said, might be the ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’ to get him to flee America for his physical safety, as he would, then, begin to mull over another trend he sees developing: jailing or “silencing” journalists.
-
“If the United States or Israel goes to war with Iran, it’s the beginning of World War III,” Celente told radio talk show host Gary Null, Tuesday. “Our lives will be hell after that. If you think we have a Gestapo state right now, you haven’t seen anything yet, because it’s not going to stop.
-
“These are the Persians; they’re 70 million strong,” he explain. “They’ve been around a long time; theyre not going to be going anywhere. And they’re going to fight down to the last man. And people forget that the Iranians lost a million people between 1980 and 1988 when the United States started a war, funding Iraq to attack Iran.
-
“This country won’t be worth living in, if we go to war with Iran. So I don’t know, I just don’t know what to do after that,” said Celente, who audibly struggled to match the words with his own personal thoughts on the matter. “I don’t know if I want to be here as much as I want to stay, because we’re seeing all of our rights being abrogated from us now; it will only, only, only get much worse.”

Turkey Attacks Kurds, Threatens Military Action Against Syria!
- Turkey attacks Kurds, threatens military action against Syria!
by Chris Marsden, http://www.globalresearch.ca/
On the eve of an expected major offensive in Aleppo by the Syrian regime, Turkey has threatened to invade Syria, using the pretext of Kurdish groups seizing control of northern border areas.
-
Such a move could pitch Ankara directly into war against Syria, after it has long sought to dictate events through control of the opposition Syrian National Congress and Free Syrian Army. This would be done with the full support of the United States.
-
Al Ahram cited reports in the Turkish media that the US embassy in Ankara and the consulate in Adana in southeast Turkey have “been planning military operations against the Baathist regime in Syria with the knowledge of the Turkish government.”
-
Large numbers of trucks have been seen coming out of the US airbase at Incirlik, laden with arms for distribution to the Syrian opposition. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has warned of an impending massacre in Aleppo, close to the Turkish border, and appealed for action. This is combined with ever escalating rhetoric over the “terrorist threat” posed by the Kurds.
-
In the past fortnight, up to 115 Kurdish fighters have been killed in a south eastern Turkey in military operations, including air strikes near the town of Semdinli. Sunday saw a counter-offensive in which Kurdish forces raided three military posts near the Iraq border that left at least six soldiers and 14 rebels dead. Turkish officials claim to be combating a 200-strong force of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK.
-
Kurds make up 17 percent of Iraq’s 31 million people, including the semi-autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, nine percent of Syria’s 21 million population, and seven to ten percent of Iran’s 75 million people.
-
Turkey, which has a 25 percent Kurdish population (20 million Kurds) is bitterly opposed to the creation of an independent state. The Turkish army has targeted PKK forces, with which it has been in conflict since 1984 at a cost of 40,000 mainly Kurdish lives. However, the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) has made clear that its ultimate aim is to intervene directly into Syria.
-
Without naming anyone, Prime Minister Racip Tayyip Erdogan accused foreign countries of backing the Kurdish fighters, who had made “dastardly” attacks on least three military bases. “Turkey has the strength to put enemy nations and circles who hold the strings of the terrorist organisation in their place,” he threatened.
-
Deputy AKP Chairman Omer Celik stated more directly, “The preparations and multi-pronged attack by the PKK in Hakkari exceeds the PKK’s capabilities. The PKK, in carrying out the attacks in Semdinli and Hakkari, acted in parallel with the massacres carried out by [Syrian President Bashar al] Assad’s forces in Aleppo.”
-
The AKP has placed itself at the head of the movement to depose Assad, breaking its former alliance with Syria. It calculated that this would secure its leadership of an alliance of Sunni powers, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which the United States is utilising as a proxy through which to establish a client regime in Syria. This would cut Shia Iran off from its major regional ally and deprive Russia and China of a foothold in the Middle East.
-
It has worked to secure the support of Kurdish groups in Syria and to bring them into the SNC, which is now led by Abdelbaset Sayda—a Kurd living in exile in Sweden. But most Kurds view the SNC with deep suspicion, due to the dominant role played by the Muslim Brotherhood and the involvement of Riyadh and Qatar in funding, arming and training the insurgents. Routine professions of non-sectarianism count for little against the growing weight of Al Qaeda and Salafist forces in the anti-Assad camp.

Chemotherapy ‘Can Make Cancers More Resistant To Treatment And Even Encourage Them To Grow’!
- See also: 75% of physicians in the world refuse chemotherapy for themselves!
- - Chemotherapy ‘can make cancers more resistant to treatment and even encourage them to grow’!
by Claire Bates, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/
- Chemotherapy may affect healthy cells surrounding cancer cells
- Research suggests that some forms of cancer treatment can make the disease tougher to tackle
-
Chemotherapy treatment for some cancers may actually encourage tumours to grow, researchers have claimed. The treatment triggers the healthy body cells around the tumour to produce a protein that helps the disease to resist treatment. The surprise discovery suggests that some forms of the cancer treatment are doing more harm than good.
-
Scientists believe the effect is caused by the impact of chemotherapy drugs on healthy connective tissue cells called fibroblasts. In lab experiments they found the drugs caused DNA damage which made fibroblasts pump out 30 times more of a protein than normal. This protein encouraged prostate tumours to grow and spread into surrounding tissue, as well as to resist chemotherapy.
-
‘Cancer cells inside the body live in a very complex environment or neighbourhood,’ said lead scientist Dr Peter Nelson, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle, U.S. ‘Where the tumour cell resides and who its neighbours are influence its response and resistance to therapy.’
-
Blocking the treatment response of fibroblasts could improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy, say the scientists whose findings are reported in the journal Nature Medicine. The team examined cancer cells from prostate, breast and ovarian cancer patients who had been treated with chemotherapy.
-
Professor Fran Balkwill, from Cancer Research UK, said that this finding ties in with other research that has shown that ‘cancer treatments don’t just affect cancer cells, but can also target cells around tumours’.

Adrian Salbuchi: Israeli House of Terror!
- Israeli House Of Terror!
by Adrian Salbuchi, www.asalbuchi.com.ar
Though hardly ever mentioned in the Western Global Press, “Terrorism” lies at the very roots of the creation and survival of Israel even though the global mass media have drilled deep into the collective psyche the idea that “Terrorism = Islam”.
-
Whether its 9/11, or suicide attacks in London and Madrid, or political murders throughout the Middle East and elsewhere, or a bomb blast in a tourist bus in Bulgaria the foregone conclusion is; “Muslim Fundamentalists” did it.
-
So, when we see an American presidential candidate like Mitt Romney holding a high-profile fundraiser in Israel in the King David Hotel – a veritable symbol of Zionist terrorism – one can only feel amazed at how double-standards keep the US-Israeli “special relationship” rolling on.
-
Though most people ignore it, one of Zionist terrorism’s deadliest terror attacks took place in July 1946, targeting this very same Jerusalem luxury hotel which at the time housed Britain’s Palestine Government Headquarters.
-
This is an issue many Britons still feel quite strongly about. In an article called “Remember the King David Hotel” published some time ago in the London “Guardian” newspaper on the sixtieth anniversary of that terror bombing that left 92 dead, journalist George Galoway reminded readers that it was perpetrated by Zionist terror group “Irgun Zvai Leumi” led by one Menachem Beguin.
-
The “Guardian” adds that years later, as Likud Party leader, Beguin “went on to be twice prime minister of Israel; his second period of office saw Israel’s “limited” 1982 invasion of southern Lebanon, which quickly became an assault on the whole country and claimed many thousands of lives.” The writer “recalled all this when I read that Binyamin Netanyahu… Israeli prime minister and darling of CNN attended a commemoration… of the Irgun’s actions [of blowing up the King David Hotel], saying, “It’s very important to make the distinction between terror groups and freedom fighters, and between terror action and legitimate military action….”.
-
“…There was no Hizbullah in 1946 or in 1948 when 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes to make way for the state of Israel. There was no Hizbullah in 1982; the organisation emerged after the Israeli invasion, after the massacres at Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps”.
-
Years later in 1978, the Global Power Masters awarded terrorist leader Menahem Beguin the Nobel “Peace“ Prize. So much for peace…
-
God Bless Zion’s Bombs!
Of course, during his visit to Israel Mr. Romney pledged unflinching US support for Israel should he become the next tenant in the White House (ho, hum… so what else is new?).
-
No doubt, he knows only too well that such pledges are vital if he is to rally the support of America’s powerful pro-Israel lobby and tap into their gigantic campaign money sloshing capabilities.
-
But we’re not just talking about purely Jewish lobbies like AIPAC American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the American Jewish Congress or the ADL. We’re also talking about economically and politically very powerful right-wing fundamentalist “Christian Zionist” evangelical groups, who in their own religious zeal see the return of the Jewish people (some of them, anyway) to the Holy Land as fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and thus, “the work of God” (!).
-
Don’t laugh…. Wasn’t it Born-Again-Christian George W Bush who once famously admitted that “God told me to invade Iraq, and I did…”?
-
The King David Hotel terror bombing is just one of many such episodes involving Israeli founding fathers. Itzakh Shamir, another former Israeli Likud Party prime minister who recently died at age 96, in those “good old days” led another Zionist terrorist group: The Stern Gang.
-
Stern carried out a famous “freedom fighter” escapade on 17th September 1948 assassinating United Nation’s Security Council negotiator in Palestine Count Folk Bernadotte, when he was in Jerusalem trying to negotiate peace between Arabs and Jews by giving both Israelis and Palestinians their respective sovereign nation-states.
-
Sabra and Shatilla mass assassin Ariel Sharon would also go on to become yet another Likud prime minister of Israel.
-
Barking up the wrong tree?
Global public opinion, however, is hardly ever told about the fact that there is and always has been very sophisticated and powerful Zionist Terrorism. Today, it has grown into a veritable high-tech State-sponsored Terrorist system, counting with the expertise of intel agencies like Israel’s Mossad whose motto is “By way of deception, thou shalt do war”: truly, they are unmatched experts at erasing their own tracks.

-
“Many [modern-day Jews] of whom have clamored to go back [to Palestine] NEVER had antecedents [physical ancestors] in that part of the world …. The OVERWHELMING majority of Jews are descendants from the converts of Khazaria and elsewhere who ADOPTED Judaism….

- Rabbi Cyril A. Stanway in “Viewpoints,” Thursday, November 8, 1990, in the Sun-News (Las Cruces, New Mexico)
-
“. . these Eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews who form the Zionist group practically in toto [almost entirely], have NEITHER a geographic, historic NOR ethnic connection with either the Jews [Israelite Judahites] of the Old Testament OR the land known today as Palestine. “
- Jewish Dr. Benjamin H. Freedman, published by the National Economic Council, Inc. as “Council Letter No. 177 (October 15, 1947)
- - Modern Judaism is not the religion of the Bible! See here!
- Modern Ashkenazi Jews are not the Jews of the Bible! God’s covenant was with Abraham and his biological descendents. Ashkenazi Jews are not semitic and their ancestors were never in Palestine. They are not the descendents of Abraham/Isaac/Israel. They have no right to stay in Palestine. What the Zionists are doing to the Palestinians is called: genocide and ethnic cleansing! Zionist ’666′ Israel is not the Israel of the Bible! It is a LIE!

1980 Jewish Almanac
“Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.” (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3)
.
The Jewish Encyclopedia:
“Khazars, a non-Semitic, Asiatic, Mongolian tribal nation who emigrated into Eastern Europe about the first century, who were converted as an entire nation to Judaism in the seventh century by the expanding Russian nation which absorbed the entire Khazar population, and who account for the presence in Eastern Europe of the great numbers of Yiddish-speaking Jews in Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Galatia, Besserabia and Rumania.”
.
The American Peoples Encyclopedia … for 1954 at 15-292 records the following in reference to the Khazars: “In the year 740 A.D. the Khazars were officially converted to Judaism. A century later they were crushed by the incoming Slavic-speaking people and were scattered over central Europe where they were known as Jews.
-
According to the standard Jewish Encyclopedia 96% of all the Jews known to the world today are descendents of the Khazar tribes of Russia, Eastern Europe and western Mongolia.
- - The Bible specifically forbids the ill-treatment of people different from us ie: strangers. What Zionist ’666′ Israel does to the Palestinians is called: genocide and ethnic cleansing! Zionist ’666′ Israel is in total violation of God’s law!

Leviticus 23:22
‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.’
Leviticus 24:22
You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the LORD your God.
Ezekiel 47:22-23
22 It shall be that you will divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who dwell among you and who bear children among you. They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger dwells, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord GOD.

The so-called Star of David is a Satanic symbol. Satanists and occult practitioners use it for calling Satan and demons!
-
Former Satanist, Bill Schnoebelen (now born again Christian)
“A hexagram must be present to call forth a demon” and ” it is a very powerful tool to invoke Satan”. – “To the sorcerer, the hexagram is a powerful tool to invoke Satan.” In fact, the word “hex” — as to put a “hex” or “curse” on people — comes from this word. – If you examine the so-called “Star of David,” or hexagram, closely, you will discover something astonishing. It has six points, forms six equilateral triangles, and in its interior forms a six sided hexagon — thus it reveals the number of Satan’ antichrist beast, — 6 points, 6 triangles, and the 6 sides of the hexagram — 666 !!!

Federal Reserve of Europe: Bernanke Says Europe Needs a Fed !
by http://silvervigilante.com/
Ben Bernanke has called for a central economic organization in Europe – more powerful than the ECB – that would help ease crises on the continent.
-
“If Europe had a single fiscal authority, that would put them in a much closer situation relative to the United States,” Bernanke said today. “That would probably address many of the concerns, many of the problems that they had.”
-
European leaders have heeded the recommendation of global plenipotentiaries and technocrats, promising to, by this summer, create such an organization. The creation of such an institution, provided there is no further major crisis, could take months or years.
-
Bernanke made the call during a townhall meeding to public educators in Washington. Bernanke signaled that “getting to that point is very difficult.” Speaking during a townhall to public educators in Washington, Bernanke admitted “getting to that point is very difficult.”
-
“You have 17 different countries,” Bernanke counted correctly. “Each set of taxpayers want to make sure that their own country is being fairly treated.” That’s a lot of meddlesome outsiders.
-
The Fed’s current chairman said newer regulatory measures would be needed to properly police the crises in Europe, such as the Dodd-Frank Act and the Basel, Switzerland accords. As some will recall, Business Week laid out the incredibly convoluted Dodd-Frank Act in an infographic, as the bill defied apparently defied the English language.

Knight Capital: A Warm-Up for The Big One? Global Financial System Collapse?!
- Emphasis mine:
-
Knight Capital: a Warm-Up for the Big One?
by Rick Ackerman, http://www.rickackerman.com/
Anyone betting that the global financial system will continue to muddle along indefinitely deserves to reap the whirlwind that’s coming. As the rest of us well know, the international banking system is being kept afloat solely by political lies, stupidity, corruption, greed and, most of all, egregiously misplaced confidence. It would seem to be only a matter of time before the rotted timbers of this belief system give way. But what will be the catalyst? The possibility or even likelihood that the financial system will be toppled by some event no one was expecting was the novel theme of Nassim Taleb’s widely read 2004 book, Fooled by Randomness. In the New York Times, Taleb noted the following: What we call here a Black Swan (and capitalize it) is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable.
-
In the seven years since Taleb’s book rose to the top of the bestseller list, any number of factors could have caused the banking system to implode but did not. Thus has the passage of time strengthened his thesis by challenging still-widespread expectations of a collapse “any day now.” The possibility has not been negated, of course, but it seems increasingly unlikely that any of the well-known dreadnoughts that have been bearing down on us, including the Mayan calendar’s prophecy of the end of days, will terminate economic life as we know it. For in fact, the financial system has survived the de facto bankruptcy of Europe; a U.S. budget deficit now growing by more than a trillion dollars a year; the collapse of real estate prices in the U.S. and around the world; intractably high unemployment nearly everywhere; and “austerity” enough to push Europe to the brink of Depression. And yet, here’s the U.S. stock market on yet another bullish tear, ignoring all of the bad news to focus instead on the latest drivel from the ECB’s Draghi. In a sane world, Draghi’s words would go unremarked, and those who believe the central banks can reverse the collapse of, for one, a quadrillion-dollar financial derivatives bubble would be intellectual exiles.
-
So what will finally topple the house of cards? The answer probably lies no farther from us than Knight Capital’s near-death experience last week. One of the biggest players in the trading world, the firm’s computer’s went berserk and lost a reported $440 million in just 30 minutes. Two scary facts should not be lost on those who breathed a sigh of relief when Knight was rescued over the weekend by a group of erstwhile competitors. First, the entire edifice of global banking is hard-wired to the markets in exactly the same way that Knight is, driven by algorithms that are too quick to be overridden by humans. And second, the catastrophic failure of this fragile network seems all but inevitable. Indeed, it keeps happening over and over again on a smaller scale – first with the May 2010 Flash Crash on Wall Street, then with several other high-profile computer failures, one of them involving a programming error that botched the IPO for BATS Global Markets, a firm that had built its reputation on systems expertise.

Elliott Management: We Make This Recommendation To Our Friends – If You Own US Debt Sell It Now!
- Elliott Management: We Make This Recommendation To Our Friends: If You Own US Debt Sell It Now!
by Tyler Durden, http://www.zerohedge.com/
Every now and then we prefer to sit back and let some of the smartest money speak, especially when said smart money agrees with us. In this case, we hand the podium over to none other than Paul Singer’s Elliott Management, which after starting with $1.3 million in 1977 was at $19.8 billion most recently. No expert networks, no high frequency trading, no “information arbitrage”, no crony capitalism and pseudo monopolies of scale, and most certainly no bailouts: Singer did it all the old fashioned way: by picking undervalued assets and watching them appreciate.
-
The timing is opportune because while Elliott has much to say about virtually everything in their latest 20 pages Q2 letter, it is the billionaire’s sentiment vis-a-vis US Treasury debt that may be most critical, and may be the catalyst that resulted in today’s abysmal 10 Year bond auction. To wit: “long-term government debt of the U.S., U.K., Europe and Japan probably will be the worst-performing asset class over the next ten to twenty years. We make this recommendation to our friends: if you own such debt, sell it now. You’ve had a great ride, don’t press your luck. From here it is basically all risk, with very little reward.” There is little that can be misinterpreted in the bolded statement. And while many have taken the other side of the Fed over the past 3 years, few have dared to stand against Paul Singer because if there is one person whose opinion matters above most, certainly above that of the Chairsatan, it is his. More deep thoughts from Elliott:
-
On QE and the nanny state:
-
Printing money and overstaffing government offices may look like growth for a period of time, but it is actually the road to poverty, corruption and, ultimately, political upheaval.
