Leader of NWO exposed

Someone tell Alex Jones!

So, the NWO has been confirmed to exist by leading British newspaper. The nutters were right all along!

Rivero prepared to sacrifice all of Europe now

Following the logic....

----> Greece is on precipice of financial disaster
----> A boycott threatens vulnerable Greek economy
----> a further crisis in Greece threatens the whole of the European economy (and the political project).

And Rivero's calling for actions with the hope of bringing it about! Because of Greece's actions re the flotilla? Great! Thanks Mr Rivero. That's really a cause Europe can get behind! Don't mind the rest of us actual Europeans.....what do we matter anyway, huh?
-----

On the flotilla:
Public exposure of the connections of some of the flotilla’s organizers to Hamas also caused significant problems for its organizers. Just Journalism detailed the alleged Hamas connections of the European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza official Mohammed Sawalha, and four Dutch journalists pulled out of the flotilla after having discovered the extent of involvement of the Hamas-linked activist Amin Abou Rashed in the organization of the Dutch-Italian boat. The journalists also complained of lack of transparency on the part of the flotilla organizers.
.....
SOURCE
So, the IHH again, and Hamas-linked activists. Hmmmm.

The same source adds some significant tidbits that everyone will ignore:
The UN secretary general’s appeal to the governments of countries in the Mediterranean region to use their influence to discourage the flotilla and the announcement that the UN’s investigation into the previous flotilla has concluded that the naval blockade of Gaza is in keeping with international law......
In keeping with international law..........I haven't seen that reported anywhere. Well, except now, in passing.....

The Flotilla/IHH/MB/Hamas dude is Sawalha, apparently:
Sawalha is also a signatory of the infamous 2009 Istanbul Declaration, which explicitly calls for all crossings to Gaza to be opened so that Palestinians can gain access to weapons for use against ‘the Zionist enemy’:

‘The obligation of the Islamic Nation to open the crossings — all crossings — in and out of Palestine permanently, in order to allow access to all the needs of the Palestinians — money, clothing, food, medicine, weapons and other essentials, so that they are able to live and perform the jihad in the way of Allah Almighty. The closure of the crossings or the prevention of the entry of weapons through them should be regarded as high treason in the Islamic Nation, and clear support for the Zionist enemy.’

SOURCE


also:
The participation of Hamas member Amin Abu Rashid in the flotilla, who is known for fundraising money for Hamas terror operations, is clear proof that this is not a humanitarian flotilla, but a provocation and a terror operation in disguise of a flotilla. In the previous flotilla, Abu Rashid expressed his intentions to clash with IDF soldiers and we must take into account that this will be his intention in the current flotilla

Pernicious rubbish

Here's how pernicious the rubbish about the FED is - even Libya is explained with "private central banks" and "interest-based currency" as the #real# narrative:


Nevermind that most central banks are *not* private? Nevermind that "interest based currency" is a load of cock and bull? Obviously facts don't matter......crazy. And scary.

Ron Paul on fascism. Errr...what?

http://revolutionarypolitics.tv/video/viewVideo.php?video_id=15551


He says 'there are lots of definitions of fascism' and then proceeds to claim all sorts of reasons why the USA is supposedly moving to what he calls 'a soft fascism'. Hmmmm.

He mentions Russo's film, Freedom to Fascism, which says nothing about fascism at all. Hmmm.

And funny Ron should be saying all that when it's him who is so cosy with the Birchers.

Ron hasn't ever noticed what some of his supporters are like? He's never heard the whispers of fascist bullshit in his own grass-roots activism? Never from his own supporters? Oh, yeah, sure.....I believe you Ron.


Ron Paul and Stormfront founder Don Black (and son)

Smash the Greek Zionists!


Stuff your anti-globalist solidarity now, huh? Wow. Looks like satire, but seems to be straight-up. Crikey. WRH really doesn't care. Shock.

Just to be clear:

Myths of the Federal Reserve

There are two oft-repeated myths about the USA Federal Reserve. Here they are, along with their rebuttal:

Myth 1: The Federal Reserve charges interest on the currency we use.

Hypothesis: Federal Reserve Notes, the currency we use in the United States, are evidence of the debt of the U.S. government to the Federal Reserve. The central bank charges the government interest for this currency, thereby diverting billions of dollars from the Treasury that could be used for other things. The government could print its own money and avoid the Fed's interest.

Facts: The Federal Reserve rebates its net earnings to the Treasury every year. Consequently, the interest the Treasury pays to the Fed is returned, so the money borrowed from the Fed has no net interest obligation for the Treasury.
----------

Myth 2: If it were not for the Federal Reserve charging the government interest, the budget would be balanced and we would have no national debt.

Hypothesis: When the government runs a budget deficit, it borrows the money from the Fed at interest. If the Fed did not charge interest or if the government simply printed its own interest-free currency, then we would have a balanced budget and no national debt.


Facts: The Federal Reserve banks have only a small share of the total national debt (about 7%). Therefore, only a small share of the interest on the debt goes to the Fed. Regardless, the Fed rebates that interest to the Treasury every year, so the debt held by the Fed carries no net interest obligation for the government. In addition, it is Congress, not the Federal Reserve, who is responsible for the federal budget and the national debt.
-------------

Even Ron Paul makes use of the second claim, as evidenced here.

These myths are ubiquitous, a fact which is an indictment of a whole slew of supposed "critics".

Amusingly, much of the criticism of the US Fed concerns the FED's private status. It's an amusing criticism coming from people who otherwise extol the virtues of private ownership. Such people oppose regulation, government 'interference', etc. Except over the FED? Usually such people are zealots who hold private ownership has an almost mystical character to produce 'good' outcomes. But not at the FED? They're self-styled libertarians who want everyone to be 'free'.....except banks. Regulation is bad, see....except for banks etc.

It's not dissimilar in character to their position on international relations - for example, the UN is a supposed arm of NWO globalist tyranny blah blah blah, at least until it passes a resolution condemning Israel whereby the UN suddenly transforms into the most principled and highest authority of International Law......

Anyway, MYTHS.

One simple thing to consider is to whom does the American Government owe its debt?

According to Wiki -
As of January 2011, foreigners owned $4.45 trillion of U.S. debt, or approximately 47% of the debt held by the public of $9.49 trillion and 32% of the total debt of $14.1 trillion. The largest holders were the central banks of China, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The share held by foreign governments has grown over time, rising from 25% of the public debt in 2007 and 13% in 1988.
So, a large part of the debt is foreign owned - which alone undermines the myths mentioned above.

Or are we to conclude that the supposed NWO-globalist-bank-tyranny-thing is coming out of China, Japan and UK? Someone better tell Alex Jones?
