Taking the fun out of Police Raids in Iraq
Damn, they're taking all of the fun out of busting some "insurgent." No more kicking down the front door at 3 am, then tossing in a stun grenade and firing off a clip from an assault rifle into the home.
Oops, got my Gestapo Squads mixed up. That's what happens in the land of the free, America, but is being taught to Iraqi's.
Justice, American style, that has been exported to Iraq. American "Goon Squad" tactics will be shown to the Iraqi's, to get around those cumbersome civil rights thingies.
The Iraqi stooges that have been bought out and corrupted by American money will have to learn to carry around what American police are fond of using, a "throw-away" weapon. That way, if the police accidentally break into the wrong home and accidentally kill someone, they can toss the throw-away near the recently deceased to show the press and public that the murdered victim was armed and dangerous.
Damn rules. How in the hell do they expect the police to uphold the law if they have to follow rules?
New Rules in Iraq Add Police Work to Troops' Jobs
BAGHDAD — In late November, around the time the security agreement between the American and Iraqi governments was ratified, an order came down to Company C at its Sadr City outpost.
In accordance with the agreement's new rules on searches and detentions, troops from Company C of the First Battalion, 35th Armor Regiment, were to begin operating under a policy called "warrant-based targeting."
Up to that time, First Lt. Jamen K. Miller's platoon had been the most prolific in the company when it came to arrests, seizing more than half of those captured in the past seven months. But he soon found himself explaining to an Iraqi officer that, yes, a certain man his platoon had declined to arrest was a bad guy, but that nothing could be done yet without a warrant.
"The gears of the system," Lieutenant Miller said of those first few days, "looked like they were coming to a halt."
In many ways, Sadr City, the sprawling Shiite quarter in northeastern Baghdad, is on the front line of the recent security agreement. Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, American forces have relied heavily on mass arrests without charges of people suspected of being insurgents.
Tens of thousands of Iraqis were detained and some held for years, in a practice that Americans insisted was necessary but that was strongly condemned by human rights groups and Iraqis.
But starting Thursday, American soldiers will be required to secure arrest warrants, a change welcomed as an important step toward Iraqi sovereignty but one that also raises concerns that the longer and more complicated arrest process could jeopardize recent gains in safety here.
Framing the Issue of the American invasion of Iraq
Insurgents? They're patriots, fighting the army of occupation of America, which launched an illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, based on hundreds of lies.
They're doing what any brave citizen who loves his country would do, taking up arms to throw out the invaders.
Freedom fighters for Iraq, not insurgents.
Still, insurgents are taking cover in the vast slums of Sadr City and the holdouts are being tracked down, one by one, though it is not entirely certain how all of this will work in the new year.
"It's all being defined as we go," said Maj. Rich Ramsey, who works on a task force that is addressing some of the changes with the Third Brigade Combat Team, Fourth Infantry Division, in Baghdad.
After years of quick-response raids, American troops are having to adjust to gumshoe work, which involves lots of conversations with civilians about who has done what in the neighborhood. Though a judge makes the decision on what is needed for a warrant, it typically requires at least two sworn statements by witnesses to a crime, American officers said.
Many of these witnesses will have to testify before Iraqi investigators, judges or members of the security forces, depending on a trust that has been violated countless times in the past, often violently.

News from the Future: Israeli Press Release from 2020
Holocaust™ News Service-- Jewish Feast of the Purim, March 22, 2020
Today, elements of the IDF made a "peaceful" incursion into Gazan enclaves in the Sinai, to root out and destroy Palestinian rocket squads using the Qassam II rocket against Israel.
Israeli President Nancy Peloschitz said that "Israel is above all, a peace loving nation that wishes to live in tranquility with her neighbors, but she will not stand by and let those rockets rain down on Israeli cities near the Sinai."
"We will engage the Palestinians in a friendly embrace, to get them to see the errors of their ways and stop firing those Qassams into Israel," said Peloschitz.
The IDF will reportedly send in several tank divisions and around 20,000 IDF troops, after the aerial bombardment ends, to root out the "aL Qaeda" like terrorists who are behind these acts, said an IDF spokesperson, adding that just like America went after those Muslims behind 9/11, Israel is going after their comrades in arms in the Sinai.
US President "Moshe" Steinberg said that "All Americans are solidly behind the peace loving nation of Israel and support her efforts to root out the aL Qaeda cells in the Sinai. To that end, we are rushing several thousand tons of advanced weaponry to Israel to help our closest friend in the world."
ADL head Abe Fartman said that Palestinians had been compensated fairly for their forced move from Gaza into the Sinai Desert, made possible by UN Security Council Resolution 666-20
Fartman added that Muslims need to recognize Israel as an exclusive Jewish state, with undefined borders, or else.
Israel also issued a statement vehemently denying that they had sent machine gun toting commandos into the West Bank and were using grenades and high explosives to "convince" the Palestinians refusing to move to the Jordanian Desert to move or else.
"Sorry, Afghanistan, it wasn't Bin Laden behind 9/11"
Well hell yes, there's no evidence, hard or otherwise, connecting Bin Laden to 9/11. Some blogs have been saying this for years, only to find themselves discredited by the American MSM as being "conspiracy" nuts.
This we knew as far back as the Fall of 2001, when Afghanistan asked for the evidence from the Bush-Cheney Junta that BL was behind 9/11 and they'd turn him over and we refused.
So what are we doing in Afghanistan? Other than blowing up wedding parties, killing women and children and thoroughly pissing off the Muslim world.
Oh wait, that's right, we've been fed another steaming platter from "Chez Cheney" that tells us that now it was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who was behind 9/11
Don't pay any attention to the fact that KSM was waterboarded over 100 TIMES. Shit, that much torture could get anyone to admit to anything, including killing your mother and well, doing something you shouldn't to your father.
We've got the federal government in DC for that.
Oh, BTW, Bin Laden's page on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist List still has nothing to say about BL and 9/11.
Shut up and stop asking questions, you "Muzzie" lover you. We've got to get behind the next in a long line of "Wars for Empire and Israel" prez, Obama, as he prepares to take office and show the world he's a real hard ass, by bombing to hell and gone some poor 3rd world nation.

#16 No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11
IN TOP 25 CENSORED STORIES FOR 2008
The Muckraker Report, June 6, 2006, and Ithaca Journal, June 29, 2006
Title: "FBI says, 'No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11'"
Author: Ed Haas
http://www.teamliberty.net/id267.html
Student Researcher: Bianca May and Morgan Ulery
Faculty Evaluator: Ben Frymer, Ph.D.
Osama bin Laden's role in the events of September 11, 2001 is not mentioned on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" poster.
On June 5, 2006, author Ed Haas contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters to ask why, while claiming that bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 1998 bombings of US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, the poster does not indicate that he is wanted in connection with the events of 9/11.
Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI responded, "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11." Tomb continued, "Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11." Asked to explain the process, Tomb responded, "The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11."
Haas pauses to ask the question, "If the US government does not have enough hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough evidence to invade Afghanistan to 'smoke him out of his cave?'" Through corporate media, the Bush administration told the American people that bin Laden was "Public Enemy Number One," responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001. The federal government claims to have invaded Afghanistan to "root out" bin Laden and the Taliban, yet nearly six years later, the FBI said that it had no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.
UPDATE BY ED HAAS
On June 6, 2006 the Muckraker Report ran a piece by Ed Haas titled "FBI says, 'No hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.'" Haas is the editor and a writer for the Muckraker Report. At the center of this article remains the authenticity and truthfulness of the videotape released by the federal government on December 13, 2001 in which it is reported that Osama bin Laden "confesses" to the September 11, 2001 attacks. The corporate media—television, radio, and newspapers—across the United States and the world repeated, virtually non-stop for a week after the videotape's release, the government account of OBL "confessing."
However, not one document has been released that demonstrates the authenticity of the videotape or that it even went through an authentication process. The Muckraker Report has submitted Freedom of Information Act requests to the FBI, CIA, Department of Defense, and CENTCOM requesting documentation that would demonstrate the authenticity of the videotape and the dates/circumstances in which the videotape was discovered. CENTCOM has yet to reply to the FOIA request. After losing an appeal, the FBI responded that no documents could be found responsive to the request. The Department of Defense referred the Muckraker Report to CENTCOM while also indicating that it had no documents responsive to the FOIA request either.
The CIA however claims that it can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to the request. According to the CIA the fact of the existence or nonexistence of requested records is properly classified and is intelligence sources and methods information that is protected from disclosure by section 6 of the CIA Act of 1949, as amended. Therefore, the Agency has denied your request pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3).
Many people believe that if the videotape is authentic, it should be sufficient hard evidence for the FBI to connect bin Laden to 9/11. The Muckraker Report agrees. However, for the Department of Justice to indict bin Laden for the 9/11 attacks, something the government has yet to do, the videotape would have to be entered into evidence and subjected to additional scrutiny. This appears to be something the government wishes to avoid.
Some believe that the video is a fake. They refer to it as the "fat bin Laden"video. The Muckraker Report believes that while the videotape is indeed authentic, it was the result of an elaborate CIA sting operation. The Muckraker Report also believes that the reason why there is no documentation that demonstrates that the videotape went through an authenticity process is because the CIA knew it was authentic, they arranged the taping.
"Coon Hunting," New Orleans style, post-Katrina
Thank God America isn't a racist nation.
Why, if it was, there might be roving band of armed white thugs, shooting up blacks trying to escape the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.
Yes, if we were a racist nation, these vigilantes would still be free, not facing any criminal penalties for their murderous activities and actually bragging about shooting anything that moved, as long as it was black.
Yes, thank God we're not like that.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN 1: He understands the "n" word now.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: I learned my wings.
UNIDENTIFIED: …all the looters and stuff.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: What looters?
UNIDENTIFIED: You didn't see all the looters?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: We had three. They left here, one without a t-shirt and the others full of buckshot.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN 1: Ha, ha, ha!
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: And we have the t-shirt to prove it.
INTERVIEWER: Really?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: Oh, yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: Tell us about the man who ended up—whose dead body was burned, perhaps by the police, not clear. Tell us that situation.
A.C. THOMPSON: You know, this story is one that really shocked me. I've been reporting on crime for more than ten years, and this I found incredibly shocking. This is the story of Henry Glover. Henry Glover was the guy who, shortly after the storm in the Algiers neighborhood, was shot by an unknown assailant. He was rescued by a Good Samaritan who drove him to a public school, where the police had set up camp and had basically a staging facility. And he thought, the Good Samaritan did, that the police would be able to help this man who desperately needed medical help.
What happened, according to two witnesses who were there at the scene, is that the police in fact did nothing. They handcuffed the Good Samaritan and physically attacked him and left the man who was wounded to bleed to death. This is what two witnesses have told me.
Later, after the man was dead and bled to death in the back seat of this car, the car was confiscated by the police. And the next time we know about what happened to the car is it's behind the police station and burned up with the man's burned body in the back reduced to nothing but bones and clumps of meat and ashes. And there has been no investigation. There's an autopsy that says clearly this man was burned up, which is suspicious and unusual, and nothing has happened. His family has gotten no information from the police, and the police haven't bothered to talk to his family and say, "What do you know about the last moments of Henry Glover's life?"
Katrina's Hidden Race War: In Aftermath of Storm, White Vigilante Groups Shot 11 African Americans in New Orleans
In a shocking new report, The Nation magazine exposes how white vigilante groups patrolled the streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, shooting at least eleven African American men. Local police have never conducted investigations into the shootings. We speak to reporter A.C. Thompson and New Orleans resident Donnell Herrington, who nearly died after being shot by a white vigilante.
A.C. Thompson, investigative reporter whose latest article "Katrina's Hidden Race War" appears in The Nation magazine. A.C. Thompson's reporting on New Orleans was directed and underwritten by the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute. ProPublica provided additional support, as did the Center for Investigative Reporting and New American Media.
Donnell Herrington, New Orleans resident who nearly died on Sept. 1, 2005, after he was shot by a white vigilante in Algiers Point.
JUAN GONZALEZ: The Nation magazine has just published a major investigative report titled "Katrina's Hidden Race War." The article examines how a group of white vigilantes in the predominantly white New Orleans neighborhood of Algiers Point shot at least eleven African American men in the days after Hurricane Katrina. Local police have never conducted investigations into the shootings.
The author of the article, A.C. Thompson, will join us in a few minutes, but first we turn to a video produced by the Nation Institute and Hidden Driver. It is narrated by A.C. Thompson and features interviews with some of the victims of the vigilante violence.
A.C. THOMPSON: When Hurricane Katrina ripped into New Orleans, most people tried to flee. In one neighborhood, however, a band of fifteen to thirty people refused to evacuate. With the police department crippled, these people amassed weapons and began patrolling the streets. Before long, bullets began to fly.
Over the past eighteen months, I've interviewed figures on all sides of the gunfire: the gunmen, people who were shot and survived, and witnesses to the violence.
Severed from the rest of New Orleans by the river, Algiers Point is an insular, predominantly white neighborhood within the larger Algiers district, which is mostly African American. As word spread that Algiers Point was dry, desperate people fleeing flooded zip codes began headed towards the west bank.
INTERVIEWER: How did you protect yourself?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 1: You had to do what you had to do. You know? If you had to shoot somebody, you had to shoot somebody. That simple.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 2: We had looters.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: It was great!
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: It was like pheasant season in South Dakota!
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 4: Right on!
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: If it moved, you shot it!

How much of this is for real and how much fiction? Damned if I know, but it is interesting.
What I do know is that much of what was taught me in grade school, a lot of what was taught in high school and some of what was taught in college is either a lie, a deliberate distortion or misleading.
And about 98% of what the federal government says is BS. So, what's left except to figure shit out for yourself?
His assertion that the tribe of Israelites was made up from three different pagan religions, one that worshipped Isis, one that worshipped Ra and one that worshipped eL, ISis RA EL is intriguing.
"Every twenty-six thousand years our solar system passes through the twelve zodiac signs . Ancient civilizations such as the Hopi, Egyptians, Cherokee, Apache, and the Mayans were aware of this great cycle and developed calendars according to it. This cycle stems from many different occurrences in nature such as the suns orbit around Alcion, the central star of Plaidies, as well as the 260 day cycle of human gestation. This cycle is broken down into five sub-cycles of 5,125 years each which were thought to have their own age. The Aztec Calendar, or Meso-American Sun Stone, depicted each cycle being destroyed by one of the five elements. The cycle we are currently in is the age of the fifth sun. 3113 BC to 2012 AD. More precisely this great cycle ends December 21, 2012. Mayan cultures and civilizations were aware of this end date and Nostradamus even prophecized about it."
"The IRS isn't even an agency of the United States government. If you don't believe me look up IRS Publication 6209. It is an agency of the IMF which if governed by the United Nations. The FCC, CIA, FBI, and NASA were never a part of the United States Government. The US government only holds shares of the stock in various agencies. Social Security numbers are also issued by the UN through the IMF."
"On March 20, 2003, President Bush launched the bombing of Baghdad at 5:50 Baghdad time. This lasted until March 21st. It was called "shock and awe" by the mainstream media. But, according to the mystery religion this date is known as the Eve of Ostara, more commonly known as the Spring or Vernal Equinox. Occultists worship the Goddess of the Earth, Gaea, on this day. The druids knew this date as the Spring Fertility Rites,the Day of Feast. The war was promptly ended on May 1, 2003 (day of "Mission Accomplished"). This date is known on the druidic calendar as Beltane,or Walpurgis Night. It was named after St. who is the pagan goddess of fertility. From March 20th to May 1st, the pagan ritual is to give blood to Earth and renew life to the goddess of fertility. What better time for them to declare a bloody war on the days of a ritual sacrifice and end it exactly when the pagan ritual ends."
"…and one of the greatest examples of group think is the stigma given to conspiracy theories. The phrase "conspiracy theory" gives a distinct impression to the average person. The JFK assassination, Area 51, Roswell, government cover ups, strange disappearances… These subjects probably sound a bit too fantasy for the average person. And it's quite understandable. They're supposed to sound made up. Throughout the mistranslation of time, and embellishment of these stories, facts were added or omitted. Some may be true and some may be false, but one thing's for sure, if a global secret needed to remain hidden, yet began emerging among the public, the best cover up is to embellish or alter the story until it sounds ludicrous. So what happens when the secret involves the government and the government has intimate ties to the mainstream media. And the mainstream media, as said before, has been proven to sway at least 80% of the public's opinion. The logic is undeniable. Media in every form is put in place to make people feel stupid for even keeping an open mind towards conspiracy theories."

A Short Primer on Secret Societies, the British Monarchy and the Bushies
Strobe Talbott, US Deputy Secretary of State in the Clinton Regime: "Nationhood as we know it will be obsolete, all states will recognize a single, global authority… National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all." None of these people want to end the nation-state in favor of freely acting and trading individuals; individualism is an anathema to this mindset. They are talking openly of global government, doing everything except calling it that.

Based on a book by Carroll Quigley called "Our Tragedy and their Hope." Here's some quotes from Mr. Quigley:
"In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. "
"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy." [Pg. 1247-1248.]
Who was Carroll Quigley?
Carroll Quigley (November 9, 1910 – January 3, 1977) was a noted historian, polymath, and theorist of the evolution of civilizations.
Quigley was born in Boston, and attended Harvard University, where he studied history and earned a B.A, M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. He taught at Princeton University and Harvard, and then joined the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in 1941.
In addition to his academic work, Quigley served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the Smithsonian Institute, and the House Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration, which went on to establish NASA.

Washington, D.C., the 1960s: Carroll Quigley and Tragedy and Hope.
Back in the early 1960s, historian Carroll Quigley did extensive research for his encyclopedic Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time. Tragedy and Hope recounted, in over 1,300 tightly-written pages of small print, the gradual rise to power of a small cadre of extremely wealthy and powerful individuals. Many were products of wealthy bloodlines. Some were bankers; others began in other industries but got into banking because that was where the real power was. They operated mostly behind the scenes, not as national political elites but as an international elite – or superelite. For them, natural borders and loyalties were increasingly meaningless. Much has been written about the Rothschilds who discovered in the late 1700s that it was possible for bankers to get rich by loaning money to governments, extending the loans encouraging government to become dependent on them, attaching provisions to the extensions calling for specific policies, and then tallying up the interest. Other such bloodlines would soon follow (the Rockefellers and Morgans here in the US).
Shortly before the turn of the last century, Cecil Rhodes, the British diamond tycoon who had operated for years in South Africa, willed a significant portion of his huge fortune to the establishment of a secret society in England. Its purpose was to lay the foundations for world government, under the theory that world government alone could bring about world peace and security for all. The Rhodes Scholarship program at Oxford University was drawn from this fortune as an effort to bring the "best and the brightest" under the influence of a certain body of ideas. Bill Clinton, of course, was a Rhodes Scholar for a while (although he didn't complete the program). Many other influential politicians, journalists, and writers in the English-speaking world have been Rhodes Scholars.
So-called conspiracy theorists have written extensively of organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations, founded in 1921, the Trilateral Commission, founded in 1973, and the European Bilderberg Group (which, interestingly, has no home page of its own) as having the same goal: the creation of a world government with themselves at the helm. These groups have been accused of having done everything from financing the rise of both Communism and Nazism to bankrolling both sides in World Wars I and II. Allegations abound that they set about to gain control over both major political parties in the US, the US legal system, the US media (including all major newspapers and television networks as well as the Hollywood entertainment culture), and finally – and especially – so-called public education at all levels from kindergarten to public universities. They would operate by seeing to it that programs and projects that would help advance the agenda of centralization were well funded, while others were left to fend for themselves – not knowing why.
Near the end of his life, a despondent Quigley observed that Tragedy and Hope "has brought me many headaches as it apparently says something that powerful people don't want known."
The Ultimate in Funny Money; Fed to Bypass Treasury and Issue Own Bills
Instead of pictures of true American patriots like Ben Franklin, George Washington and Abe Lincoln on the current fed funny money, we'll get pics of "great" Jewish-American heroes like Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
Grinning because he knows he's pulled the wool over American's eyes........ again.
Between inflating the current money supply to oblivion and shoveling trillions of dollars to his banking buddies, Ben must be commended for helping loot this country in an orderly, systematic and relatively painless manner....
Unless you need to work for a living.
Is this the first step on the road to the Amero?
The obvious game changing move would have been for the Treasury and the Fed to make an arrangement in which the Fed is able to purchase Treasury debt directly without subjecting it to an auction in the public market first. This is known as 'a money machine' and is prohibited by statute.
But as usual the Fed surprises us all with their lack of transparency. They are asking Congress about permission to issue their own debt directly, not tied to Treasuries.
This is known in central banking circles as 'cutting out the middleman.' Not only does the Treasury no longer issue the currency, but they also no longer have any control over how much debt backed currency the Fed can now issue directly.
If the Fed were able to issue its own debt, which is currently limited to Federal Reserve Notes backed by Treasuries under the Federal Reserve Act, it would provide Bernanke the ability to present a different class of debt to the investing public and foreign central banks.
The question is whether it would be backed with the same force as Treasuries, or is subordinated, or superior.
There will not be any lack of new Treasury debt issuance upon which to base new Fed balance sheet expansion. The notion that there might be a debt generation lag out of Washington in comparison with what the Fed issues as currency is almost frightening in its hyperinflationary implications.
Fed Weighs Debt Sales of Its Own
By JON HILSENRATH and DAMIAN PALETTA DECEMBER 10, 2008
Move Presents Challenges: 'Very Close Cousins to Existing Treasury Bills'
The Federal Reserve is considering issuing its own debt for the first time, a move that would give the central bank additional flexibility as it tries to stabilize rocky financial markets.
Government debt issuance is largely the province of the Treasury Department, and the Fed already can print as much money as it wants. But as the credit crisis drags on and the economy suffers from recession, Fed officials are looking broadly for new financial tools.
The Federal Reserve drained $25 billion in temporary reserves from the banking system when it arranged overnight reverse repurchase agreements.
Fed officials have approached Congress about the concept, which could include issuing bills or some other form of debt, according to people familiar with the matter.
It isn't known whether these preliminary discussions will result in a formal proposal or Fed action. One hurdle: The Federal Reserve Act doesn't explicitly permit the Fed to issue notes beyond currency.
Just exploring the idea underscores many challenges the ongoing problems are creating for the Fed, as well as the lengths to which the central bank is going to come up with new ideas.
At the core of the deliberations is the Fed's balance sheet, which has grown from less than $900 billion to more than $2 trillion since August as it backstops new markets like commercial paper, money-market funds, mortgage-backed securities and ailing companies such as American International Group Inc.
The ballooning balance sheet is presenting complications for the Fed. In the early stages of the crisis, officials funded their programs by drawing down on holdings of Treasury bonds, using the proceeds to finance new programs. Officials don't want that stockpile to get too low. It now is about $476 billion, with some of that amount already tied up in other programs.
The Fed also has turned to the Treasury Department for cash. Treasury has issued debt, leaving the proceeds on deposit with the Fed for the central bank to use as it chose. But the Treasury said in November it was scaling back that effort. The Treasury is undertaking its own massive borrowing program and faces legal limits on how much it can borrow.
More recently, the Fed has funded programs by flooding the financial system with money it created itself -- known in central-banking circles as bank reserves -- and has used the money to make loans and purchase assets.
Some economists worry about the consequences of this approach. Fed officials could find it challenging to remove the cash from the system once markets stabilize and the economy improves. It's not a problem now, but if they're too slow to act later it can cause inflation.
Moreover, the flood of additional cash makes it harder for Fed officials to maintain interest rates at their desired level. The fed-funds rate, an overnight borrowing rate between banks, has fallen consistently below the Fed's 1% target. It is expected to reduce that target next week.
Israeli Blood Banks Dump the blood from Ethiopian Jews
Israeli Cannon Fodder... What, you expect the Israeli's to fight their own wars?
Yes, you just stick these Ethiopian's in front line IOF units that are in between West Bank Hasidic land thieves and Palestinian farmers.
You let those maniacal West Bank land thieves scream "Nigger" at the Ethiopian soldiers, after all, that's the prerogative of the "Master Race."
You stick them in settlements close to Gaza where those mysterious Qassam rockets come from into Ethiopian homes, so the MSM can scream "Look at what those Gazans are doing to Jews."
You keep their kids away from the Chosen Ones , by sticking them in their own schools. Can't have little "Moshe" mixing it up with the "schwartze's."
Can't have that racially pure Khazarian blood mixing with those people, now can we?
You ensure that the Ethiopian Jews will forever remain downtrodden in Israel, by not hiring them, and keep their unemployment rate around 70%.
Integrate Ethiopians into Israeli society? What the hell have you been smoking?
Hasidic Jews prepare for another night of carousing in the West Bank
Ethiopian Controversy In Israel: It's Not Racism
by Harry Wall
Reports that Israel was secretly disposing blood donated by Ethiopian immigrants out of concern it may be AIDS-contaminated elicited accusations of ethnic discrimination and even racism. Some observers seized on the blood controversy to depict Israel -- a country that took great risk to rescue the remnants of Ethiopian Jewry -- as just another race-torn society.
Whatever Israel's mistakes towards its Ethiopian Jewish community, the cause is not racism. Support for the African immigrants, as measured by public opinion and government investment, is strong. Government assistance is much greater than for other immigrant groups. And reports of social discrimination are rare in a country with little experience in black-white relations....
Many of the immigrants were placed in temporary housing, often in peripheral areas and usually with other Ethiopian neighbors. Today, most of the immigrants are now living in rented or purchased apartments, thanks to generous government loans or low-interest mortgages.
Parents were encouraged to send their children to boarding schools in youth villages, a customary practice for new immigrants. There, the youths had a better chance to get a good education, unencumbered by the burdens of large families in small quarters. The result, however, was to loosen the tight family ethos of Ethiopian Jews.
The question of religious status, a long-standing controversy, added to their difficulties. A ritual conversion was required by the Israeli rabbinical establishment in seeking a formula for accepting a community whose practices were at variance with traditional Judaism and with a high rate of intermarriage. The Ethiopians, who tend to be observant Jews, resented the doubt placed on their faith.
What brought their anger to a boil was the blood scandal. The Ethiopian community -- with reportedly about 50 times the incidence of AIDS as other Israelis -- was regarded by medical authorities as a high-risk group (a concern, it should be noted, which did not deter the effort to bring Ethiopians to Israel).
Not wanting to stigmatize the Ethiopians by banning their donations, the blood bank officials decided to dump the blood. This only added insult to injury. A wiser policy would have been to consult with the community's leadership to determine how best to deal with this problem...

FDIC Head Catching Flack for Trying to Help Homeowners
Fighting Foreclosures, F.D.I.C. Chief Draws Fire
More than any administration official, Mrs. Bair has called publicly for using billions of taxpayer dollars to finance the modification of loans threatened by default. But her advocacy has contributed to a battle that is pitting White House and Treasury officials against the F.D.I.C. and lawmakers in Congress. The discord has influenced programs that have so far proved insufficient to stem a tide of foreclosures that Moody's Economy.com expects will affect 10 million homeowners over the next five years. And it is drawing personal conflicts and animosities into the policy-making process.
Sheila girl, you've gotta get with the times and use the FDIC to bail out the Big Boys of banking, not struggling homeowners! Just like the FDIC was used to bail out S & L's in the 1980's, to the tune of over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS.
Back then, "Poppy" Bush helped oversee the looting of the S & L's, now days, Junior's helping cart off the loot for the Wall Street banksters, like the GREENBERGS, Abraham FULD and "Abe MADOFF.
"Attention, attention everyone, champagne and caviar now being served in the Ben Gurion lounge."
The little people, they get tossed overboard, while the fat cats scoop up the gravy and the band plays on.
WASHINGTON — The Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr., on Tuesday rejected pleas to use money from the $700 billion bailout program to help homeowners avoid foreclosure or to stave off bankruptcy by Detroit's Big Three automakers.
Democrats pummeled the Treasury secretary in response, with some accusing him of carrying out a "bait and switch" by discarding his original plan and others expressing fury that the Treasury had allocated $290 billion for banks and insurance companies but nothing for individual homeowners.
You naughty girl! Trying to use the federal government to actually help people losing their homes to Wall Street gangsters, con artists and hucksters that are walking away with trillions in assets and trillions in tax dollars as a reward for their thievery.
The banksters know what to do, eliminate you from their back room talks about how to steal what's left of the American economy.
White House and Treasury officials argue that Mrs. Bair's high-profile campaigning is meant to promote herself while making them look heartless. As a result, they have begun excluding Mrs. Bair from some discussions, though she remains active in conversations where the F.D.I.C.'s support is needed, like the Citigroup rescue.
What type of revolutionary talk is Sheila guilty of?
"I've heard the stories of people who are suffering and can stay in their homes if there is just a small adjustment to their loans," said Mrs. Bair, a Republican who was appointed to her post by President Bush two years ago. "There are some people in the Republican Party who resent the idea of helping others," she added. "But the market is broken right now, and unless we intervene, these people and the economy won't be helped.
Good grief, Sheila! What other kind of subversive plans have you been hatching?
Around the time that the F.D.I.C. took over IndyMac, Mrs. Bair began urging Treasury and White House officials to use taxpayer money to encourage other lenders and mortgage servicing companies to modify large numbers of at-risk loans, a plan she expected would help 1.5 million borrowers avoid foreclosure and reduce an oversupply of homes on the market. She estimated the program would cost taxpayers about $24 billion.
Ahh, now we see why Ms. Blair has been pushed out of the way. Her original plan, that might of saved the economy from imploding and prevented millions from going into foreclosure would have only cost 24 billion.
Not the 700 + billion that the Vichy Congress ponied up to the Treasury Department and Wall Street at the same time the Federal Reserve was shoveling trillions out the back door to this same gang.
What's in store for 2009 for homeowners across the land?
Foreclosure Storm Will Hit U.S. in '09 Amid Job Loss
U.S. foreclosure filings climbed 28 percent in November from a year earlier and a brewing "storm" of new defaults and job losses may force 1 million homeowners from their properties next year, RealtyTrac Inc. said.
The Zionist Wrecking Crew isn't yet done with totaling our economy and stealing everything in sight. There's still some loose change lying around and that can't be tolerated.
From the actual physical attacks of 9/11/2001, to the financial attacks of 9/11/2008, there's one common denominator here and it isn't crazed Muslim fanatics.
In 2009, Israel's economy is predicted to grow 2%, unemployment, at least if you're a Jew, will be nil and the toxic slop sold around the world known as MBS and CDO's were never peddled in Israel.
Really? Why, I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you.
Are Israeli homes facing foreclosure? Perish the thought!

Anthrax Vaccine causing more deaths than Anthrax exposure
Here's what your government says about the anthrax vaccine. And we should ALWAYS trust Washington, as they shown repeatedly to be truthful and beyond reproach when it comes to telling the truth, right?
The anthrax vaccine has dangerous side effects including death.
All vaccines have side effects, including death in rare instances. However, anthrax vaccine has never been determined by medical experts to have been the cause of any death. The anthrax vaccine's side effects are comparable to other commonly used drugs and vaccines. "Serious" events are those resulting in hospitalization, permanent disability or death. The vast majority of adverse reactions to the vaccine are local reactions. These may include tenderness, soreness and redness at the site of the injection, as well as some fever muscle aches and pains.
http://www.gwu.edu/~cih/anthraxinfo/vaccine/vaccine_myths.htm
And here's what medical experts say about the anthrax vaccine. They must be lying, right? They must have some hidden agenda that they're not disclosing to the public.
Mark Zaid, a lawyer who has challenged the immunization program, said there is no scientific proof that the vaccine is effective in human beings.
Meryl Nass, M.D., Director of the Military and Biodefense Vaccine Project (MBVP), said "America's military service members deserve to be fully informed about the deaths, chronic illness and disabilities that many soldiers have experienced following anthrax vaccination. The FDA-approved anthrax vaccine package insert acknowledges only six deaths and two dozen autoimmune diseases associated with the vaccine, but the FDA has not directed the manufacturer to update the insert in nearly five years. More than 1200 anthrax vaccine-injured soldiers have been treated at the congressionally mandated Vaccine Healthcare Centers, which DOD has attempted to close. They are suffering with crippling, life-altering illnesses that are being swept under the rug. We know the anthrax vaccine is reactive and we suspect it is especially risky for those with hereditary and other risk factors that DOD refuses to investigate or acknowledge."
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/54400.php
Anyone who doesn't believe the sterling character of the White House must be some kind of terrorist and must be dealt with accordingly.
Two clear facts shine from the clouded mystery of anthrax attacks on America and our government's tenuous claim seven years later of closing the case with the suicide of a suspect.
Fact No. 1: Government warnings about anthrax being a weapon of mass destruction were false. Somebody dispersed the most lethal strain our tax dollars can produce — weapons-grade or near enough — via the U.S. Postal Service, exposing tens of millions of people, yet managed to infect 22. Five died. But from anthrax vaccination, at least 21 died and thousands reported a wide range of illnesses.
http://anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com/
Just because the Anthrax strain that was used in the 2001 attacks came from a US government lab, the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, called the "Ames Strain" is no cause for alarm.
Yes, the same heinous bastards that were behind the 9/11 attacks sent the Anthrax thru the US mails and we all know it was those damned "Muzzies," right?
"Little Piggies" and Wall Street
Today, a little ditty penned by George Harrison and sung by the Beatles.
Posted in honor of all those pimps, liars, thieves, hucksters and con artists that seem to flock to Wall Street like a moth to light.
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

"How Do We Brainwash Americans? It's Easy, When We Control the Media"
Word Association Seminar Hosted by Dr. Steinberg
Excerpts from the Zurich Organization of Goodwill, or ZOG, ran by Dr. Shlomo Steinberg, who earned his doctorate from Tel Aviv University in agitprop.
"... the focus group was comprised of a cross slice of Americans, from New Jersey construction workers, to Arizona soccer moms, to Florida insurance executives, to Oregon IT personnel, to Iowa farmers.
We carefully selected a variety of words and phrases to expose the group to and gauged their reactions."
ZOG Seminar on Mind Control held at the Sheeple Institute.
The first word or phrase is what we presented to the focus group and their compiled and condensed replies follow:
9/11---"Dirty, filthy Muslims throat slitters attacking the noble and good American way of life."
Bin Laden--"The terrorist mastermind behind 9/11 who attacked the USA because he hates our freedoms."
Suicide bombers---"Dirty, filthy Muslim throat slitters attacking the noble and good Israeli way of life."
al Qaeda--"That Muslim terrorist organization that worships death and hates the USA and our only friend in the Middle East, Israel."
Israel--"The only democracy in the Middle East and our only friend, a great and courageous country, filled with kind and generous peace loving Jews.
Ben Gurion--"Wasn't he the father of Israel, just like George Washington is the father of our country?"
Mumbai attacks---"Dirty, filthy Muslim throat slitters attacking poor and defenseless India."
FOX News--"The only fair and balanced news outlet that's worth watching. I like it that FOX only reports the news, letting me decide."
Global War on Terror--"A righteous crusade against those dirty, filthy Muslim throat slitters that attacked America on 9/11."
Jews--"A great and honorable race of people, just like us Americans, who love peace and and are very kind and generous."
Reverend John Hagee--"A true man of God who sees that we are under attack by those dirty, filthy Muslim throat slitters."
Holocaust--"Oh my God! The most tragic event in the history of the world, when six million, or was it more, Jews were deliberately murdered by those sadisitic Nazis for no reason at all. Just the mention of that word brings tears to my eyes." "Excuse me, but I seem to be crying, do you have a hankerchief I can borrow?"
Judaism--"The world's oldest religion that gave us Christians our savior, Jesus Christ and one we should support, as their religion and ours is so alike."
Iraq War--"A noble and righteous cause, to save America from future 9/11 attacks by those dirty, filthy Muslim throat slitters."
President Bush--"A great leader and brave American who has helped protect America from any attacks from those "evildoers."
Iran--"A nation of dirty, filthy Arab throat slitters that have sworn to destroy Israel by wiping our good friend Israel off the map. We Americans can't stand by and allow another holocaust to happen against our Israeli buddies."
Islam--"A false religion and one that celebrates death and glorifies violence."
Military Commissions Act--"Huh" "What?" (Note: We can even get our stooges in the US Congress to pass an act legalizing torture and stripping the Bill of Rights of Habeas Corpus and the typical American has no idea of what we accomplished. Dr. Steinberg)
As you can see, ladies and gentleman, ZOG has conclusively shown that our media saturation and domination of the American media market is complete, making them fearful of the Muslim boogieman we created.
Even though Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, we managed to make Americans think they did.
We have skillfully used metaphors to confuse and excite gullible American minds into thinking they are actually under attack by an enemy we created.
They are so muddled about and ignorant of world affairs, they don't even know that Iranians are Persian, not Arabs.
Americans are so terrified of anything Muslim/Arab, that they will gladly agree to fight an endless number of wars for Israel.
The war the CIA, RAW and MI5 are creating against Pakistan will give the cover needed to complete the looting of Wall Street and allow the blame for the coming collapse of the American economy to be placed on the Muslim boogieman.
Is this crude satire or a realistic look at a slice Americana?

Rice tells Pakistan to act 'or US will'
ISLAMABAD, Dec 5: The US Secretary of State, Dr Condoleezza Rice, is reported to have told Pakistan that there is 'irrefutable evidence' of involvement of elements in the country in the Mumbai attacks and that it needs to act urgently and effectively to avert a strong international response.
Contrary to the formal statements issued by Pakistani authorities and her own statement at the Chaklala Airbase before her departure, sources said she "pushed the Pakistani leaders to take care of perpetrators, otherwise the US will act".

US defense secretary expands pre-emptive war doctrine to include nuclear strikes

Israel Defense Forces are taught Nazi SS Tactics to use against Gaza
"Choose your enemies carefully, for you will become like them."
If the Nazi's had Israeli weaponry, like the advanced F35 fighter, an open spigot of money from abroad and political backing at world organizations, all given gladly to that apartheid, Jews only state of Israel by the Vichy USA Congress and the quislings in the White House, we'd probably be speaking German today.
The Israeli's have former PM Sharon's "Grand Plan" for the extermination of Palestinians. Sounds terminal, like Israel has developed some sort of final solution to remove the Palestinians from their indigenous homeland.
One of the many Israeli built, IDF staffed blockade entrance checkpoints to "STALAG GAZA".
"The 1948 war ended in the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their villages and homes. Israeli settlers moved in to occupy their land and the Palestinian refugees found themselves in refugee camps, or in neighboring Arab countries. Today there are nearly four million Palestinian refugees -- and they want the right to go home. Their problem is the greatest and most enduring refugee problem in the world.
Ninety-three percent of the land is now characterized as Jewish land, meaning that no non-Jew is allowed to lease, sell or buy it."
Genevieve Cora Fraser once wrote from Ramallah and asked the question that needs no answer. "Is America a Servant to the Will of Israel? Is America a servant of Israel's Will?" She went on to state,
"Israel's treatment of the Palestinians since 1948 has also been to regard them as "untermenschen" sub-humans and never more so than today. In January 2001 Ha'aretz published an article by Amir Oren, "At the Gates of Yassergrad" which cites an Israeli officer's statement that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) studies the 1943 military tactics of the Nazi SS against the Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto, for application against the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza.
Even without the Ha'aretz article, casual observation of the incarceration of the 3.5 million men, women and children of Palestine in concentration camp conditions within the confines of the Apartheid wall, electrified razor wire fence, Israeli-only roads, and nearly 900 checkpoints and roadblocks is a tip-off that something is up. When you add in the destruction of a million olive and fruit trees, farmlands, livestock and beehives, enforced starvation (bombing of the UN food warehouse and refusal to allow in food aid) and dehydration (reservoirs, wells and roof top water tanks destroyed by the IDF), curfews that spread into weeks and sometimes a month or more, plus 24/7 IDF assaults on civilians whose defense is the use of rocks, confiscated rifles and homemade bombs, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why the term neo-Nazi is common graffiti at certain protest sites."

At the gates of Yassergrad 25/01/2002
By Amir Oren
In order to prepare properly for the next campaign, one of the Israeli officers in the territories said not long ago, it's justified and in fact essential to learn from every possible source. If the mission will be to seize a densely populated refugee camp, or take over the casbah in Nablus, and if the commander's obligation is to try to execute the mission without casualties on either side, then he must first analyze and internalize the lessons of earlier battles - even, however shocking it may sound, even how the German army fought in the Warsaw ghetto.
The officer indeed succeeded in shocking others, not least because he is not alone in taking this approach. Many of his comrades agree that in order to save Israelis now, it is right to make use of knowledge that originated in that terrible war, whose victims were their kin. The Warsaw ghetto serves them only as an extreme example, not linked to the strategic dialogue that the defense establishments of Israel and Germany will hold next month.
At around the same time, Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer will visit Washington, and one of his interlocutors there, Secretary of State Colin Powell, will appear in two consecutive days of hearings before the foreign relations committees of the Senate and the House, where he will face trenchant questions about the Palestinians and terrorism in general and about Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in particular. Ben-Eliezer may find himself flanked on the right concerning the Palestinian issue, so much so that he will be left without ammunition for another item on his list of missions - Israel's reservations about the Americans' sale of advanced weapons (particularly the latest model of the Harpoon sea-to-sea missile) to Egypt.
The old and ludicrous slogan of one of his predecessors - "I came to strengthen and I emerged strengthened" - threatens to be manifested in Ben-Eliezer: the Americans are competing with the Israelis in taking an aggressive, suspicious attitude toward Arafat. The transfer of power from Ehud Barak to Ariel Sharon turned out to have less of an influence than George W. Bush's climbing into the hot bed of Bill Clinton.
The two most important dates in the history of the present confrontation between the Israelis and the Palestinians are January 20, 2001, when Bush took office, and September 11. .........
"Niggers don't expel Jews! This isn't what we brought you to Israel for!"
C'mon now, Israeli's are racists? You mean that the same bunch of whacked out Hasidics that have repeatedly invaded Palestinian homesteads in the West Bank, beaten, terrorized, killed and driven off the indigenous Palestinians by destroying their olive trees so they can steal the land are also capable of calling black IDF troops from Ethiopia racist slurs?
Hey, just because the Zionist Occupation Force has turned Gaza into the world's largest concentration camp and launch daily attacks against the Gazans, killing them with impunity and the Israeli blockade is slowly but surely, killing more Gazans by denying them adequate drinking water, meds, food and fuel for generators, why that doesn't mean Israeli's are racist thugs.
Gosh, that can't be possible, can it? Why, Wolf Blitzer of CNN or Sean Hannity of FOX never ever says anything bad about those always under attack Israeli's.
I'm going to contact the fearless Abe Foxman of the ADL to report this slanderous libel of the poor, downtrodden Israeli's. Bet it was published in some anti-Semitic mouthpiece, right?
It was published in Ynet?
Settlers to Ethiopian troops: Niggers don't expel Jews
Border Guard officers of Ethiopian descent report rising number of racially motivated verbal attacks from Hebron youths; Druze officers also suffer racist remarks
Danny Adino Ababa 12.04.08, 11:39 / Israel News
Not only do they serve long and tiring hours in the reserve forces, and not only are they forced to deal with violent clashes with settlers, but now, Border Guard officers of Ethiopian descent are also faced with rising racism.
"Niggers don't expel Jews! This isn't what we brought you to Israel for!" are just some of the degrading slurs Border Guard officers reported hearing from masked settlers.
During the violent clashes between Israeli forces and settlers in Hebron on Tuesday "a bunch of veiled people started yelling at us: Who are you to expel us from our home? An Ethiopian does not expel a Jew! A nigger does not expel a Jew!" one Border Guard officer of Ethiopian descent recounted.
"I just didn't know what to do with myself," he said.
Officers 'deeply offended' by remarks
And it turns out this was not the only such incident to take place. Another officer reported that while arriving to make an arrest about a week and-a-half ago, a group of youths verbally attacked him saying, "Who told you to come and evacuate us? You Ethiopians. What are you, this State's niggers? Olmert's niggers?"
The officers said they were deeply offended by these remarks, but stressed that the ones making them were settler youths coming from outside of Hebron, and not the residents of the Jewish settlement or Kiryat Arba, who have treated them with respect.
Border Guard sources reported that racist remarks were also made against Druze soldiers. "We knew that this would happen so we instructed our officers in advance," said a source.
"We harshly condemn those extremists that bring a bad name to an entire public by using racial slurs against Border Guard fighters that spend night and day protecting residents of the West Bank.
"As part of the preparations for the mission the fighters were instructed to ignore such comments and carry out their mission with the utmost professionalism."
Mumbai: Terrorists took Cocaine & LSD to stay awake during assault
Anyone who's taken LSD knows that most of the time, you have trouble finding the bathroom, let alone operate an automatic assault rifle. Between the auditory and visual hallucinations, you won't be worth a damn for battle. This I can confirm from firsthand experiences.
And how can they be fit and shooting up cocaine? The article states they had toned bodies. People who shoot up cocaine are in the terminal phase of drug addiction and their bodies are wasting away, not looking like an advertisement for some health club.
Fitness and cocaine use don't mix. Shooting up cocaine would make one so damned nervous and paranoid, you'd shoot at any noise.
Shooting up cocaine isn't what people do on a whim. They either snort it or smoke it. Shooting up means that they'd been injecting the cocaine for some time, since you don't just shoot up cocaine on a whim.
Your body wouldn't be use to that much of a toxic load hitting your central nervous system and you might OD. This too I can confirm from firsthand experience.
And ingesting LSD wouldn't make one sprint to the gym for a workout, since you'd be taking a tour of the universe using Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid."
Neither would be my drug of choice for staying up for 50+ hours. If I wanted to stay up and active for 50+ hours, my first drug of choice would be pharmaceutical speed.
Or maybe they used some of the Rabbi approved, Kosher Meth from Agriprocessors.
10 of those Mumbai held off several hundred of India's Best?
Sounds to me like there were more than 10 attackers in this batle.
The rest managed to escape in the fog of battle to Tel Aviv.
Mumbai attacks: Terrorists took cocaine to stay awake during assault
Terrorists who battled Indian commandos for 60-hours last week relied on cocaine and other stimulants to stay awake for the duration of the fight.
By Damien McElroy in Mumbai 9:06AM GMT 03 Dec 2008
Officials said drug paraphernalia, including syringes, was recovered from the scene of the attacks, which killed almost 200 people.
The heavily built men, who had undergone training at a special marine camp established by the Lashkar-e-Taibat (LeT) terrorist group in Pakistan, had also used steroids to build a tougher physique.
"We found injections containing traces of cocaine and LSD left behind by the terrorists and later found drugs in their blood," said one official.
"There was also evidence of steroids, which isn't uncommon in terrorists.
"These men were all toned, suggesting they had been doing some heavy training for the attacks. This explains why they managed to battle the commandos for over 50 hours with no food or sleep."
One terrorist used the drugs to keep on fighting despite suffering a life-threatening injury.
Drugs are commonly used in India by workers in jobs where a lack of sleep is demanded, such as truck drivers and security guards.
The 10 men who attacked prominent Mumbai landmarks were able to hold off hundreds of India's best trained special forces by mounting sophisticated ambushes, maintaining a constant, steady rate of return fire and a superior knowledge of the layout of the buildings seized.
The gunman captured during the attacks on Mumbai has told police he underwent months of commando-style training in an Islamist militant camp in Pakistan.
The training was organised by the LeT and conducted by a former member of the Pakistani army, a police officer close to the interrogation said.
"They underwent training in several phases, which included training in handling weapons, bomb making, survival strategies, survival in a marine environment and even dietary habits," a senior officer said.

Change.Gov Wants Your Suggestions: Well, Some of them anyway
Posted by willyloman on December 1, 2008
by Scott Creighton
It seems the time for Big Government telling us what to do is over! That's right, at Change.gov, you can go in and put up an idea you want to be a part of Obama's new mandate of change! Wow! Ain't that just grand. Government listening to "the people". What a concept.
let's see how that works.
Up until Sunday Nov. 30th, there seemed to be a suggestion that was leading the pack; Create a new investigation into what happened on Sept. 11th 2001. Well, ok, the people clearly have spoken. At the time this image was taken of the vote box for this topic, it had received 660 votes at Change.gov's site (right now the Leading suggestion has 388 votes) almost double the 2nd place suggestion.
So how is that "New 9/11 investigation" suggestion doing now in the polls?
Hard to say, because "Change You Can Believe In" removed it from consideration.
That's right. Obama's administration is going to listen to the will of the people, and then, by God, they are going to erase the will of the people. The one time leading suggestion on Change.gov is gone. They deleted it.
You know what else they deleted? "Bring our Troops Home".
Yeah, they got rid of that one as well. Nice huh?
Now, to be fair, they did recently give a statement as to why they removed the leading suggestion from "the people":
"this is unfortunately outside the scope of the Ideas for Change in America project, which aims to offer specific policy solutions rather than investigations into past government action."
Yet, as Victronix at 9/11 Blogger points out, they still have another one up, that is doing kinda well in the voting and it is specifically about "investigations into past government action".
You can't make this stuff up.
You know, it would be almost funny if what we were talking about here wasn't a terrorist act that killed nearly 3,000 people and serves as the basis for an endless fascist Global War on Terror. Not to mention the destruction of the US Constitution and our most basic civil liberties.
You know what they keep on the "Featured Suggestion" page? A suggestion to create a school were we can learn to serve our community like that mandatory Civilian Corps Sevice project of theirs.
Wow, I guess they do have their finger on the pulse of the nation, don't they?
Thanks to 9/11 Blogger for keeping track of this.
P.S. Just checked the Change.org site and they have another plea for a 9/11 investigation that's been up for at least 16 hours.
Either the Thought Police are asleep or they're having second thoughts about deleting reality.
A new Investigation into 9/11
I believe that there should be another investigation of how 9/11 was handled and who really was responsible. This has created three wars, one war on Terror, two in Iraq and Afgahistan. over 5,000 people have died in or because of the symptoms of the debris of falling barium. We need compassion, understanding, facts, science, and justice to be a beacon of our great country. I think that Mr. President Obama can restore this and make this image clearer.

It's easy, just publish a fine magazine like Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs, with quality journalists and authors like Chris Hedges, Charley Reese, Paul Craig Roberts and former California congressmen Pete McCloskey contributing articles that try and shine a light on ME affairs, showing both sides, and the Zionist Media Goon Squads will descend upon you like a biblical plague of locusts, devouring everything in sight, especially the truth.
"VE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU TALK"
Just ask another WRMEA contributor, Palestinian journalist Mohammed Omer, who this past Summer, returning to Palestine, was detained, beaten, attacked, robbed and tortured by Israeli border police.
The Zionist Seekers of Carrion are ubiquitous, infesting and infecting all forms of the MSM in America, with their beaks constantly sniffing the air, looking for any realistic and legitimate questions about Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
These queries must not be allowed, they must be devoured.
Which they then convert into tasty droppings to plunk down on America's ready made and eager palates across the country. Call it a form of alchemy, converting buzzard droppings into sound bites, which are eaten up.
"It might look like shit, it might smell like shit and it might taste like shit, but, Mmmmmmm, is it good.... Zionists and Israel, Good, Double Good... Give me More!"
"LET US PREY"
One of the more virulent Zionist front groups is an outfit called "Middle East Forum," with a well paid staff of professional hacks who abhor the thought of Palestinian rights and self-determination..

Disinfo specialists and most likely, MOSSAD agents and the force behind another ZOG group, MEMRI, the Wurmsers, who were staunch advocates of having the US invade Iraq to remove an "existential" enemy of Israel, Saddam Hussein.
This is what gets this flock roused from their roost.
The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs is a magazine published 9 times per year in Washington, D.C. that "focuses on news and analysis from and about the Middle East and U.S. policy in that region."
Political position
The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs does not take partisan domestic political positions. As a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli dispute, it endorses U.N. Security Council Resolution 242´s land-for-peace formula, supported by seven successive U.S. presidents.
In general, the Washington Report supports Middle East solutions which it judges to be consistent with the charter of the United Nations and traditional American support for human rights, self-determination, and fair play.
The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs has been characterized by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America as "virulently anti-Israel," as "bitterly anti-Zionist" and "the most conspiratorially-minded of the anti-Israel forces" by the Middle East Quarterly, as "a journal known for its strong anti-Israel bias" by Honest Reporting, and as "an anti-Israel publication that frequently serves as an apologist for Muslim American groups advocating anti-Semitism and support for terrorism" by the Anti-Defamation League.
Canada's National Post has also described the magazine as "anti-Israel," the Jewish Virtual Library has stated that the "WRMEA publishes many articles that are considered to be anti-Israel and anti-Zionist", the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles notes that critics view it as "guilty of frequent factual distortions" and "an unrelenting polemic against Israel", and Jonathan Tobin, executive editor of The Jewish Exponent has described the publication as "the guidebook to the Arabist lobby in the United States" that "specializes in defaming Israel."
The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs is published mainly by retired U.S. foreign service officers and it features writers of multiple ethnicities and religions and across the political spectrum. Paleoconservatives, leftists, secular Israelis, Jews, Muslims and Arabs.

A Jewish-American Take on "Life in Occupied Palestine"
I watched this documentary on Free Speech TV and at first, I must admit I was hesitant to listen to a presentation by a Jewish-American on life in Occupied Palestine.
But that feeling of dread soon dissipated, as Anna Blatzer gave a remarkably open and honest view of life under the Zionist boot heel in Occupied Palestine.
Anna went to Palestine and documented first-hand the brutal living conditions, illegal settlements, roadblocks, IDF destruction of Palestinian homes, illegal Jewish settlements, Jewish settler violence directed against Palestinians and West Bank Land theft by Hasidic Jews.
And who is behind these criminal actions: The Israeli government, which is being funded lavishly by US taxdollars.
From her web page, Anna in the Middle East
I am a Jewish-American Columbia graduate, Fulbright scholar, and three-time volunteer with the International Women's Peace Service, a human rights organization based in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Since the Summer of 2005, I've been touring around the United States and abroad with a presentation and book describing my personal experiences, observations, and photographs from eight months documenting human rights violations in the West Bank and supporting Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent resistance against the Occupation.
My presentation is called "Life in Occupied Palestine: Eyewitness Stories & Photos," and my book is entitled Witness in Palestine: A Jewish American Woman in the Occupied Territories. The purpose of my presentation and book is to provide those interested in the Israel/Palestine conflict with critical information and documentation that can be difficult to obtain through mainstream U.S. media sources, and to encourage dialogue towards taking action on the issue. My hope is that my presentation and book will also offer a thoughtful perspective given my background as the grand-daughter of Polish-born Holocaust refugees. I see it as my responsibility to expose the injustices of today in light of those of the past.

(The comments in red between the videos were copied off the Youtube page.)
The only thing that Anna forgot to mention is that terrorists use those innocent farmers or civilians and hide between them trying to reach Israel for the only purpose of blowing themselves and KILL innocent ISRAELIS- civilians, women and children!!! it stopped because of those road blocks !!
Does Hanna B. Mentioned once the KASAM missiles who are bombarding the Israeli city Sderot every day and night ??? What about the innocent civilians there Hanna??
islamseeksurdeath
(Just saw this on a blog. This should be good!)
ANNA IS A FRAUD. Tune in to Jerusalem Pulse Radio as we will be systematically refuting all of her FALSE claims and accusations against the state of Israel. Anna Baltzer is a well paid "Palestinian" puppet. JPR will expose Anna with facts backed by historians and leading experts in their respective fields.

Israeli agents seemed particulary interested in getting their tentacles into India, especially Kashmir the year prior to 9/11.
In recent years Israeli "counter-terrorism" assistance is also being mobilized, most evidently in (though not restricted to) Jammu and Kashmir, where the government of India sees a political issue as a 'security' issue, in the age-old imperialistic tradition of ignoring the human, civil and political rights of the Kashmiri people while making every effort to suppress the voice of Kashmiris.

CPEC's flagship Rashakai SEZ to get 160MWs electricity by year end: Official
By Khalid Aziz | Gwadar Pro Sep 27, 2021
ISLAMABAD, Sept. 27 (Gwadar Pro) - A 160 megawatts transmission line from 220kv Mardan Grid Station to Rashakai Special Economic Zone will become operational in early December, an official of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Economic Zones Development and Management Co. (KPEZDMC) told Gwadar Pro on Monday.
The work on the transmission line has already been completed, while Peshawar Electric Supply Co. (PESCO) has approved a dedicated grid station for the SEZ, the official said. He said that work on the grid station will start in October and will take two months to complete, after which the 160MWs line will become fully operational.
Work on another 50MWs transmission line from Swabi Grid Station is also in preliminary stages, the official added. "We have marked locations for electricity poles, and will soon start installing the same," he said. He said that together with the existing 10MWs facility for construction phase, the two lines will satisfy total electricity demand of Rashakai SEZ.
Similarly, development works including road infrastructure and provision of water are also underway in full swing, the official said.
Rashakai SEZ is a flagship economic zone of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) meant for large-scale enterprises. The SEZ is located ideally on the confluence of M1 Motorway and Swat Expressway, which connect the facility to China, Afghanistan and Central Asian Republics. The Zone is being developed by China Road and Bridge Corp. (CRBC) under a concession agreement with KPEZDMC.
China's Century Steel was the first entity to invest in the zone, presently installing plants for KP's largest steel mills. Another 9 firms have also been allotted plots in the SEZ and are currently in documentation stages, the official said. After the completion of documentation, these firms will be required to start construction work within six months, he said.
Rashakai SEZ is expected to generate as many as 250,000 direct and indirect jobs to help eliminate unemployment in KP's most populous districts surrounding the zone.

Musée Grévin – Top Museums in Paris
The Musée Grévin in Paris is one of the oldest waxwork museums in Europe. It was founded in 1882 by Arthur Meyer, a journalist for Le Gaulois, and named for its first artistic director, caricaturist Alfred Grévin.
The Musée Grévin, which is quite different from any others, has over 300 characters in realistic wax copies arranged in about fifty scenes from both French and World history, and also includes movie stars and international figures such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Pope John Paul II, Michael Jackson, Charlie Chaplin and Elvis Presley.
Featuring a cupola, a hall of columns and a great marble staircase, the original and sumptuous decor of the Grévin Museum building is still the same as the one designed in 1882, with rococo styles harmonizing perfectly with the rosewood and marble.
Children will like the museum and be excited by its deforming mirrors of the Hall of Mirrors (Palais des Mirages), where a sound and light show takes place. It was reopened in 2006 with new special effects. The museum has also a discovery tour that shows how wax figures are made and a theater for magic shows.
Address: 10, Boulevard Montmartre – 75009 Paris Opening Hours: Every day, from 10.00 am to 6.30 pm through Monday to Friday, and from 10.00 am to 07.00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Rooney ruled out ahead of United's meeting with Middlesbrough

Manchester United's form has picked up as of late, but the club will be without their captain ahead of Saturday's meeting with Middlesbrough.
[ MORE: Ronaldo offered over $100 million weekly by CSL club ]
Wayne Rooney has been ruled out by the Red Devils after picking up a thigh injury on Christmas Day during training. The veteran attacker also missed the team's 3-1 win over Sunderland on Boxing Day with the same setback.
This season, the 31-year-old has scored just once in 14 Premier League appearances for United, who currently sit sixth in the table.
