DoD: Population Control Part Of US “Stability Operations” !

  • DoD: Population Control Part Of US “Stability Operations”
    by Jurriaan Maessen, www.Infowars.com 
    James A. Schear, deputy assistant secretary of defense for partnership strategy and stability operations, told an audience at the annual summit of the International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) a few days ago that population control is one of the “core missions” of the U.S. military in relation to stability operations. The DoD press release stated:
    -
    “Stability operations, which are usually military operations in civilian environments, include many missions, among them peace operations, combating terrorism, counter-drug operations, population control and nation assistance.”
    -
    “While we’re seeking to rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region while maintaining our emphasis on the Middle East, as we must, we’re also viewing security cooperation as a way to sustain our defense commitments within Europe and partnerships across all regions,” Schear stated.
    -
    In his speech, Schear stressed that working with the private sector both in Europe and the U.S. is crucial in ensuring that the “stability operations” such as population control are effectively implemented:
    -
    “In regions where America’s national interests are at stake, we must make the requisite investment now to help us forego the requirement for larger, more expensive and more intrusive operations later on,” Shear added. He also mentioned that international alliances are needed:
    -
    “I would even go further, and say not only the U.S. government but our allies and partners will see increasing needs for private-sector expertise and capabilities in areas such as improving governance, monitoring tenuous situations, and providing an immediate-response capability.”
    -
    Population control as a part of America’s geo-political objectives was formulated as far back as 1974 by Kissinger in his infamous report NSSM 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth For U.S. Security and Overseas Interests. In this heartless report, population control is being considered as a formidable US security interest, especially in regards to world food supplies:
    -
    “Since population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand, allocation of scarce PL 480 resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population control as well as food production. In these sensitive relationships, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion.”

One Week Until U.S. Has 3 Aircraft Carriers Facing Iran!

War with Iran, October Surprise?!! USS Stennis Aircraft Carrier

  • One Week Until U.S. Has 3 Aircraft Carriers Facing Iran
    by Paul Joseph Watson, www.Infowars.com 
    In just one week, the United States will have three aircraft carriers facing Iran, the number usually regarded as sufficient for a state of war.
    -
    The latest Stratfor naval update map shows that the USS John C. Stennis has now arrived in the waters just outside Iran, joining the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. Although there were already two aircraft carriers in the region prior to Stennis’ arrival, the USS Enterprise left for a scheduled port visit in Naples, Italy.
    -
    “In a week or so, shore leave will be over and CVN will be back to join everyone else, at which point the US will finally have three aircraft carriers just off the Iranian coastline ready to rumble,” reports Zero Hedge.
    -
    In response to this build-up, along with exercises involving the US, UK and Middle Eastern countries focused around clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has launched a Tareq-901 submarine and a Sahand destroyer into the Gulf from the port of Bandar Abbas.
    -
    “At the same time, as stated on (Ayatollah) Khamenei’s official website, the Supreme Leader was visiting the northern coastal city of Nowshahr to observe naval cadets practice planting mines, rescuing hijacked ships, destroying enemy ships, and rapid deployment via helicopters,” reports OilPrice.com.
    -
    Earlier this week, German newspaper Der Spiegel reported that Iran may also be planning to disrupt shipping lanes in the Strait, through which around 40 per cent of the world’s oil passes, by intentionally causing a massive oil spill.
    -
    “The goal of the plan seems to be that of contaminating the strait so as to temporarily close the important shipping route for international oil tankers, thereby “punishing” the Arab countries that are hostile to Iran and forcing the West to join Iran in a large-scale cleanup operation — one that might require the temporary suspension of sanctions against Tehran,” states the report.
    -
    Iran later denied the claims, stating they illustrated how, “Western nations have been brought low and have resorted to making any allegation against us.”
    -
    It seems abundantly clear that if there is to be an “October surprise” which will decide the US presidential election one way or the other, it will involve Iran and it will happen within the next two weeks.
    -
    The likelihood of such an incident involving Iran was raised by an ABC News piece earlier this month which speculated that something could “occur in the days before the election” to swing the outcome and that it would probably involve Iran in one way or another, be it an attack on US interests or Obama or Romney cutting a deal with Tehran.
    -
    Last month, lobbyist Patrick Clawson stoked controversy when he urged the United States to stage or provoke an attack in order to create a manufactured casus belli for striking Iran.

Israel Used ‘Calorie Count’ to Limit Gaza Food During Blockade, Critics Claim!

  • Israel used ‘calorie count’ to limit Gaza food during blockade, critics claim! 
    by Associated Press, in Jerusalem, guardian.co.uk 
    Defence ministry files on ‘avoiding’ civilian malnutrition are proof Israel used food restrictions to hit Hamas, says Palestine group
    -
    The Israeli military made precise calculations of Gaza’s daily calorie needs to avoid malnutrition during a blockade imposed on the Palestinian territory between 2007 and mid-2010, according to files the defence ministry released on Wednesday under a court order.
    -
    Israel says it never limited how many calories were available to Gaza, but critics claimed the document was proof the government limited food supplies to put pressure on Hamas. At the height of the blockade Israel also maintained a list of foods that were permitted and banned from Gaza.
    -
    Major Guy Inbar, an Israeli military spokesman, said the calculation, based on a person’s average requirement of 2,300 calories a day, was meant to identify warning signs to help avoid a humanitarian crisis, and that it was never used to restrict the flow of food. The analysis included adjustments for local farm products as well as an assessment of the kinds of food imports needed to sustain the population.
    -
    The Israeli advocacy group Gisha,  which aims to protect the rights of Palestinian residents, waged a long court battle to release the document. Its members say Israel calculated the calorie needs for Gaza’s population so as to restrict the quantity of food it allowed in.
    -
    Israel imposed the blockade after identifying Gaza as a “hostile territory” in September 2007, following the takeover by Hamas. The Israeli resolution said it intended severe restrictions on civilians.
    -
    Israel said the blockade was necessary to weaken Hamas. But critics say the blockade constituted collective punishment against Gaza’s population of more than 1.5 million.

Revelation 2:9 – …. and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

“ … it turns out the creation of Israel had not, after all, been a haphazard fight in which the Arabs fled their homes at the directives of their own leaders, but it had been an unprovoked, systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing by the Jewish militia involving massacres, terrorism and the wholesale looting of an entire nation.” - from 4:22 onwards

John Embry: London Trader, Commercials & A Spike In Gold !

  • Embry – London Trader, Commercials & A Spike In Gold ! 
    by www.kingworldnews.com
    Today John Embry told King World News, “What the London Trader was discussing with you was the fact that we were within $10 of a commercial signal failure, which is just astonishing.”  Embry also stated, “These commercials are incredibly short … So if this market starts going against them, the price rise will be extraordinary.”
    -
    Here is what Embry, who is Chief Investment Strategist at Sprott Asset Management, had to say:  “I’m focused on two things in the short-term.  I’m not too concerned with the fact that gold is being knocked around here.  There are two factors at work.  One, and the ‘London Trader’ spoke so eloquently of it in your interviews with that source, is this massive short position by the bullion banks.”
    -
    “They (the commercials) will move heaven and earth to protect this short position.  As a result, I think we are going to battle here.  But the great news is, unlike the old days when they could really smash gold, this physical demand is building up underneath the market, so the downside has been contained. When the access market opened up for trading on Sunday night, gold and silver were taken down (as Norcini had predicted).  So they were basically taking the market down when the physical market was closed….

Rep. Walter Jones: Middle East to Implode if Obama has His Way!

  • Albert Pike’s Satanic World War 3 Plan
    The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. …. more!

FBI Celebrates Foiling Its Own Terror Plot, Again!

  • FBI Celebrates Foiling Its Own Terror Plot, Again! 
    by , http://thenewamerican.com/ 
    Federal agents convinced a naïve, violence-inclined 21-year-old Bangladeshi that he was a member of “al-Qaeda,” giving the dupe fake bombs to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before swarming in and arresting him on October 17. As has become typical, government officials scrambled to put out press releases patting themselves on the back for their work protecting the “Homeland.”
    -
    In reality, however, there was no al-Qaeda, there was no threat, there were no bombs, and the only alleged “plot” the FBI “foiled” was the one it helped hatch with its dupe, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis. Like the vast majority of recent domestic “terror” schemes against the United States, the latest supposed “operation” was essentially run by authorities from start to finish.
    -
    “It is important to emphasize that the public was never at risk in this case, because two of the defendant’s ‘accomplices’ were actually an FBI source and an FBI undercover agent,” Acting Assistant FBI Director Mary Galligan admitted in a press release celebrating the arrest. “The FBI continues to place the highest priority on preventing acts of terrorism.”
    -
    The criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court also confirmed that authorities gave their dupe bogus explosives to carry out the bogus attack. “The material that purported to be the explosive material was actually inert and posed no threat to the safety of the public,” the document confirmed, fueling more criticism of the government’s terror-war tactics that include cultivating terrorists and supplying all their terror needs.
    -
    The apparently dim-witted young man from Bangladesh was in the United States on a student visa when he allegedly tried to find others to join him in carrying out an attack. According to the criminal complaint, he miraculously managed to find an FBI source to help on his mission. The confidential informant promptly introduced him to government agents who promised to assist.
    -
    “I don’t want something that’s like, small,” Nafis allegedly told an undercover agent who was posing as an al-Qaeda member and wearing a recording device. “I just want something big. Something very big. Very, very, very, very big, that will shake the whole country.” He was apparently hoping to “destroy America” with an attack that would bring Muslims closer to running “the whole world.”
    -
    Despite claiming to have “connections,” authorities had to convince Nafis that he really was part of al-Qaeda. “The thing that I want to ask you about is that, the thing I’m doing, is it under al-Qaeda?” the confused would-be “terrorist” asked one of his government handlers. The unidentified undercover law-enforcement officer assured the bewildered dupe that the attack would indeed be for “al-Qaeda.”
    -
    In numerous similar setups where the FBI has persuaded dupes to help plot “terror” attacks, the government offered big money in an effort to get the schemes off the ground. It remains unclear whether Nafis was given any cash reward for his “services.” However, most everything else was supplied by law enforcement — including the bogus bombs.
    -
    The undercover agent, for example, asked Nafis what he would need to carry out his “attack.” The dupe responded that he would need “a big car with lots of fruits and vegetables in there which can blow up the whole New York Stock Exchange building.” Nafis later proudly told a separate government informant, after being convinced by his handler, of course, that he was now officially a member of “al-Qaeda.”

Pakistan Interior Minister: 80% Killed By Drones Are Innocents!

  • Which country is the greatest terrorist country in the world? It is America and its ally Zionist ’666′ Israel. However, this statement does not accurately reflect who is behind terrorism throughout the world. The people behind worldwide terrorism are the Illuminists-Satanists in power. They manipulate the sheeple into genocidal and unnecessary wars using false pretexts. The American and Jewish sheeple are unfortunately, the deceived useful idiots complicit in their own destruction! Never get involve militarily in any of these Illuminists generated wars!

    Pakistan Interior Minister: 80% Killed By Drones Are Innocents
    by Steve Watson, Prisonplanet.com 
    Pakistan’s interior minister Rehman Malik stated  Wednesday that up to 8 out of 10 people killed in US drone strikes inside his  country are completely innocent civilians.
    -
    Repeating a plea he made to the US a fortnight ago  to allow Pakistani authorities to oversee drone activity, Malik told reporters  that only 20  percent of those killed in drone attacks were militants.
    -
    “2,300 people were killed in 336 strikes carried  out by United States in Waziristan,” Malik claimed, citing Pakistani estimated  figures. He added that 96 of the drone strikes were cross border attacks were  launched by the US from Afghanistan. It is believed that hundreds of children have been  killed in the drone attacks.
    -
    A major study released last month by Stanford and  New York University, titled ‘Living Under Drones’, found that just 2 percent of  those killed in drone attacks in Pakistan were high ranking militants.
    -
    The study concluded that the Obama drone policy  “terrorizes men, women, and children” in Pakistan, and serves only to engender  hatred of the US among everyday Pakistani people, and makes terrorist attacks on  the US more likely. The study also noted that Obama administration  officials have regularly issued highly misleading public statements regarding  drone strikes.
    -
    “Far more civilians have been killed by U.S. drone  strikes in Pakistan’s tribal areas than U.S. counter-terrorism officials have  acknowledged.” researchers noted, adding that the mainstream media should cease  referring to “militant” deaths when covering drones strikes, because the Obama  administration counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants.
    -
    The researchers, in association with The Pakistani  human rights group Foundation for Fundamental Rights spent close to a year in  Pakistan interviewing over 130 survivors and witnesses of drone attacks.
    -
    The Obama administration has been heavily criticized for blocking the release of information relating to its overseas drone assassination programme, and will not even officially acknowledge that it exists, despite countless public references to the programme and the proven existence of an official “kill list”.
    -
    It is common knowledge that the Obama administration has exponentially increased the use of drone missile attacks in countries such as Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The president has referred to the programme several times in public, as have officials such as counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan.
    -
    Earlier this year, the New York Times ran a major piece on the programme, revealing that the White House has asserted the right to carry out state-sponsored assassination anywhere in the world without having to provide any evidence or go through any legal process.

Chart Of The Day: Spanish Bad Loans Hit New Parabolic Record !

  • Chart Of The Day: Spanish Bad Loans Hit New Parabolic Record! 
    by Tyler Durden, www.zerohedge.com
    It just refuses to get any better in Spain, whose banks are now aggressively marking down real estate to something resembling fair value. Last month we reported that Spanish bad loans jumped by the most ever, rising by over 1% to just under 10%. Today, last month’s number was revised even higher to 10.1%. But the worst news is that the August bad loan total just hit a fresh record of €178.6 billion, or 10.5% of the total €1,698.7 billion in bank loans. Making things worse is that the primary bank funding lifeline – deposits – continues to flow out. That both Spain, and its banking sector are utterly insolvent, is clear to anyone but Oliver Wyman and those who have bought SPGBs (although granted the latter are merely hoping for a quick flip). And the ECB of course. Indicatively, as a % of GDP, this would be equivalent to roughly $2.7 trillion in US bank loans going sour (for more on the collapse of Spanish banking, and the laughable stress test whose worst case has already become the baseline, read here). The chart summarizing this staggering statistic is below.

Von Greyerz: Despite Manipulation, Swiss Gold To Become Money!

Remember the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules!

  • Greyerz – Despite Manipulation, Swiss Gold To Become Money! 
    by www.kingworldnews.com
    Today Egon von Greyerz spoke with King World News about the, “… incredible amount of intervention and manipulation (in the gold and silver markets).” Greyerz, who is founder and managing partner at Matterhorn Asset Management, also spoke with KWN about an initiative to make gold money in Switzerland, “It is an initiative that will introduce a Swiss gold coin as a parallel currency.”
    -
    Here is what Greyerz had to say:  “It’s ridiculous, Eric, what is happening now.  There is an incredible amount of intervention and manipulation (in the gold and silver markets).  I know you’ve had these superb interviews with the ‘London Trader,’ but just looking at the screen, at every important level, the gold and silver prices are being attacked and there is selling taking place.”
    -
    “Every time COMEX opens, it’s the same thing — you see selling.  So there is clearly short-term manipulation, but it makes no difference whatsoever.  If you look at the gold price, in combination with world liquidity, you see that gold is going up hand-in-hand with increased liquidity. That will continue, Eric, and since the money printing will accelerate, it’s very clear the gold price will also accelerate….
