Making it look 'real' can interfere with the message.
Like the USSA Military had to move it's forces before the Kony tape was released.
And now tha the Kony tape has been ridiculed, it's 'author' thrown in the loony bin...
the USSA military Still has to folloow the script, now looking like a bad Monty Python skit....;}
" “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality, judiciously, as you will, we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” - Ron Suskind, NYT, Oct 17 2004
African Union launches US-backed force to hunt Kony Reuters, Mar 24 2012
The African Union, backed by the US, has put together a 5,000-strong military force to hunt down fugitive warlord Joseph Kony, whose profile has shot up following a celebrity-backed campaign against him.
"Too few people have experienced the divine image as the inner-most possession of their own souls. Christ only meets them from without, never from within the soul; that is why dark paganism still reigns there, a paganism which, now in a form so blatant that it can no longer be denied and now in all too threadbare disguise, is swamping the world of so-called Christian culture. his pagan unconscious, which has also influenced our literature and art, is clearly expressed in dreams long before it becomes apparent in action."
Can you imagine the Agit Prop artists at the CIA trying to make sense of the above? 9D
Notice how LF has dropped EVERYTHING to concentrate on the uppity minorities?
The Domestic mirrors the foreign:
"Karzai also spoke to Mullah Baran. Baran’s brother was killed in the shooting spree, but he didn’t see the shooting happen. Baran said he told Karzai what his sister-in-law, who was at the scene, had told him.
When GlobalPost asked Baran to speak directly with his sister-in-law, he initially refused.
“You don’t need to talk [with] her,” Baran said. “I did, and I can tell you the story.”
Eventually Baran relented, allowing GlobalPost to interview her by phone.
Massouma, who lives in the neighboring village of Najiban, where 12 people were killed, said she heard helicopters fly overhead as a uniformed soldier entered her home. She said he flashed a “big, white light,” and yelled, “Taliban! Taliban! Taliban!”
Massouma said the soldier shouted “walkie-talkie, walkie-talkie.” The rules of engagement in hostile areas in Afghanistan permit US soldiers to shoot Afghans holding walkie-talkies because they could be Taliban spotters."
You can't make that shit up.....;}
"The whole point of Jesus’s life was not that we should become exactly like him, but that we should become ourselves in the same way he became himself. Jesus is not the great exception but the great example.

CDS Quotes On New Greek Bonds On Hold; Last CDS and 1-Year Bond Quote on March 9
New Greek bonds are priced at roughly 22 cents on the dollar. Simply put, the market expects yet another credit event. Yet try buying CDS protection on the new Greek bonds. You can't.
The Financial Times reports Greek yields up as CDS trading put on hold.........
Greek CDS prices were last quoted on March 9, when a buyer of protection would have had to pay $7.8m up front to insure $10m of debt against default.
Markit, the data provider, said it needed at least three global banks to give it prices for Greek CDS before it could continue to quote them.
Did you catch that? The last quote was $7.8m up front to insure $10m of debt against default. We are talking about a near certain default on the new bonds.
I just did a check on Bloomberg. The last quote on a 1-year Greek bond shows the yield is 1,143%. The date of the quote is March 9th, the last date CDS was quoted.
If you haven't started saving for retirement, you're not alone. A study ... Benefit Research Institute finds that a majority of workers have less than $25000 in savings. ... About 30% of these respondents said they have less than $1000 in savings.
So, some back of the napkin math says that
30% of 140 million workers (=47 million) have $1000.
50 million are on food stamps.
That's a 1/3 of the USSA right there. And worse,
that's almost 100 million ADULTS. And that does not account for college students with 41 Trillion in non dischargeable debt. College kids can not get food stamps. We're so fucked.
And that does not account for college students with 41 Trillion in non dischargeable debt. College kids can not get food stamps. We're so fucked.
And most will only qualify for a civil service job when they graduate anyway. At the price one has to pay for auto mechanics, plumbers and electricians nowadays it's better to go to trade school.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

Debt itself has become the obsession du jour: the problem is not the sufficiency of debt or even its costs but the defective structure within which debt subsidizes profitless waste. We love our waste, it makes us feel human: right now the world’s economies are at the point where debt can just barely stretch to fill the waste gap. We can just barely afford the costs of the debt, provided we put to use every sort of extraordinary tactic to manage them. We add more debt, we borrow our way out of it, we shuffle it around: running faster and faster to remain in one place.
Debts can be managed this way only because the state can always run faster: as long as there is a marginal return somewhere within the debt-y universe the system will continue to lend to itself ever-larger nominal amounts. Unfortunately, the real capital that the debt is supposed to represent diminishes while the claims made against capital increase. The efforts to manage debt by ‘renewing’ it become counterproductive. Adding debt becomes another form of waste with costs that cannot be met.
The only presidential candidate who has vowed to axe the NDAA provisions is Ron Paul. If you support any other candidate, ask why they are supporting the gutting of the Bill of Rights under the Orwellian umbrella of GWOT (global war on terror).
I recall an amusing scene where a suddenly stricken 18th century aristocrat calls out for his lawyer rather than the local leech.

Thank god my bleeding ulcer caused by my migraine was fully documented at hospital and that I'd been in hospital for the same before And most importantly that I predicted the migraine that I got in hospital...;}
Critics maintain that the bailout is leading to the creation of many “zombie” banks, which are completely dependent on the ECB for finance and are reluctant to provide credit either to each other or to businesses.
There has been no bail out.
These people are criminals who should be brought to justice. But in the Greece of today, it will not happen”. One final source told me shortly before posting, “The Bank of Greece is naked in this matter. We ask them for the reasons why this has happened, and they claim to have no knowledge of such things. This is ridiculous. This could not have been done without their cooperation. There is nobody now in Greece we can trust”.
The illegally denied default of Greece entered a dramatic new phase this afternoon with the revelation by mainstream Greek public health website Health News that, shortly before midnight on March 8th – the eve of Greece’s psi completion on Friday March 9th – on average 70% of public utility funds in varous large, interest-bearing accounts at the Bank of Greece were raided. These included most of the State’s regional hospital budgets, various universities and (it is alleged) at least one utility company.
The shortfalls came to light late last week and this morning as various hospital purchasing cheques in particular began to bounce. The monies – estimated by one source to total some 1.4 billion euros – appear to have been used to pay off the tiny minority of private sovereign creditors

A decline in nominal price of petroleum is no cure: temporary declines allow price-thwarted demand to rush back into the markets and push up the price. This decline-push dynamic remains in force until the ability of customers to meet the high price price is exhausted, when the credit runs out.
Having emptied our accounts at the gasoline pump, the returns on our non-driving endeavors are insufficient to service the debt needed to drive … or do much else.
What is underway is a margin call against the entire unproductive enterprise.
Law-abiding taxpayers are treated like criminals while the criminal class of financiers and State apparatchiks are free to loot and pillage muppets and taxpayers alike.
It's actually very simple: whatever the state or Federal government does to you, that's legal. Whatever action you take to protect your rights is illegal....
Perhaps the closest analogy for these resurgent warmongers are the economists who failed to predict even the vaguest problems with the sub-prime mortgage market, let alone the global financial crisis.
Yet somehow they still shamelessly populate the airwaves, spouting predictions and judgments, which unfathomably never end with the anchor saying: "Mmm. We're going to interrupt you to hear from a cauliflower, because you've got to think it knows more about this stuff than you."
And so with the creatures of the US military-industrial complex, somehow able to pick themselves up from the what should have been career-ending humiliation and call for more of the same. They clearly possess some bizarre, Weeble-style self-righting mechanism, and at some level I suppose you have to admire the chutzpah.
Given the lack of success of the American experiment with deregulation, it is beyond belief that the cure for what ails the American economy is going to be more deregulation: "Bill Black on How the Jumpstart Obama’s Bucket Shops Act is Just Another in a Long Series of Fraud-Promoting Legislation" Also: "Bill Black: “The only winning move is not to play”—the insanity of the regulatory race to the bottom"
And what you'll wait long and hard for this from the Zionist/USSA MSM:
"retired History professor Milton Cantor, a very distinguished historian of left-wing political movements in the United States, sent me a copy of a long, thoughtful letter he had sent to Senator Carl Levin. In three tightly written single-spaced pages, Cantor detailed the series of votes Levin had taken in the Senate that in one way or another expanded the autocratic power of the presidency and eroded what have always been thought to be the core rights and protections of constitutional government,
most notably the Great Writ, as the writ of habeas corpus is called. On the same day that I received the letter, I read a blog post [I cannot now recall which of three or four different blogs was its source] that included a very striking graphic illustration of the size of the military budgets of the twenty or so most geared up nations. Not surprisingly [I actually already sort of knew this], the United States spends annually ten times as much on defense as its nearest competitor, China, and all in all about half of all the money spent on the military world-wide.
Something about these two bits of information coalesced in my mind, and I realized that I was seeing a perfect representation of America's hegemonic imperial status in the contemporary world. Overwhelming military dominance abroad is complemented by the establishment of an imperium at home. The government now asserts openly that it has the right to kill anyone in the world it deems a threat to its imperium,
even if that person is a citizen of the United States. The only restraints the state now recognizes on its actions are instrumental -- the opportunity costs of military action, the deleterious effects on the members of the volunteer armed forces.
This is the reality with which we live, and it does not appear that it will change for at least a generation, perhaps longer. To be quite honest, I do not believe there is anything any of us can do to change this reality. robertpaulwolff.blogspot.ca/2012/03/big-picture.html
The Israeli operation was facilitated by highly-placed Zionist agents within the US government, military, and intelligence spheres. If Buzzy Krongard is a suspect in the crimes of 9-11, the question that needs to be answered is: Was Krongard acting as an agent for Israeli military intelligence at Alex Brown and the CIA? The evidence indicates that he served as an agent for Israel in both positions. Alvin Bernard Krongard, born 1936, is the son of Raphael Harris Krongard and Rita Keyser Krongard. Both his mother and father were born in Baltimore to Jewish immigrant families from Poland/Russia. His first wife, Patricia Lion, was also Jewish.
While Krongard’s Jewish roots are never mentioned in the various articles about him, his Jewish ethnicity clearly plays the key role in his efforts to support Israeli enterprises in the US. When a high-level person like Krongard conceals his Jewish roots while actively serving the state of Israel it indicates that he is seeking to hide his true identity and loyalty to a foreign state.
For such a person to be the administrative chief of the CIA says a great deal about the degree of Israeli penetration of the US intelligence community.....
Mayo Shattuck stayed on at Alex Brown, but resigned suddenly the day after 9-/1(1). While it is clear that Krongard jumped ship because he knew that the BT Alex Brown merger would soon fail, why did he go to work for the CIA? What we do know is that Krongard had worked closely with computer companies spawned by Israeli military intelligence.
After he joined the CIA as counselor to the director, Krongard soon became engaged in setting up the CIA venture capital firm called In-Q-It (In-Q-Tel) that was supposed to keep the agency abreast of computer technology. How much Israeli software do you think found its way onto the CIA computer network under Buzzy Krongard’s reign? In Oct 1999, the WaPo reported on the genesis of In-Q-Tel:
A lot of people wondered what DCI Tenet had in mind a year and a half ago when he brought in Wall Street heavyweight A B “Buzzy” Krongard to serve as his “counselor.”
9/11 is a prime example of what Indira Singh calls “extreme event risk.” In the months prior to the attack, she was working on a program capable of providing data in real time to prevent these types of events from happening. She had pitched this very idea just one week before 9/11 at In-Q-Tel Headquarters (CIA) in Virginia, giving a final presentation for an ICH (Interoperability Clearinghouse) project code named “Blue Prophet.” Indira explained to CIA why she was supporting ICH in this project.
She told the In-Q-Tel team, “The intelligence and other agencies need this now.” One of the men with CIA looked at Indira with what she describes as the “blackest, coldest look anyone has ever given her.”
They weren’t interested in Blue Prophet’s software for interoperability or risk, but rather the data it would produce because the data would point in the right directions. That data was very predictive, producing quality real-time intelligence. This is one week before 9/11. If In-Q-Tel already had this capability, it’s no wonder they would be wary of someone like Indira – the woman from New York in Risk Management who resided a few minutes’ walk from the Twin Towers.
Panetta says polls cannot dictate Afghan war plans.
Does anyone remember Dick Cheney saying, in response to exit polls during the 2006 elections which showed that only 17% of Americans supported the Bush administration's policy on Iraq, that "I don't think any president worth his salt, can afford to make decisions of this magnitude according to the polls...This president does not make policy based on public opinion polls"?
I seem to remember a lot of people who now support the Obama administration's policy in Afghanistan blindly were pretty upset with Cheney's obvious contempt for democracy and the will of the people...
The big New York Times story on the Afghan War today (3/27/12) focuses on public opinion in the United States, which is now dramatically anti-war: 69 percent think we shouldn’t be there.
An interesting point argument is raised later in the piece, when two sources make the argument that the war wouldn’t be so unpopular if Barack Obama would just do a better job of selling it:
Indira showed up with what she called, “A major Ground Zero attitude.” She was supposed to be on the 106th floor of the WTC on 9/11 but instead responded as a civilian EMT that morning. This was very personal for her. Charlie understood and nevertheless made the arrangements for a debriefing at the Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) in April 2003.
During the debriefing Indira was asked by a member of the Secret Service, “Is Ptech PROMIS?”
“I already knew what had happened to Danny Casolaro, and they were asking me if I had copies of Ptech,” Indira told FTW.
Danny Casolaro was the investigative journalist mysteriously “suicided” in a West Virginia hotel room while investigating the theft of PROMIS software. Casolaro’s investigation had uncovered a shadowy network he called “the Octopus” that seemed to have its hands in everything from drug trafficking and money laundering, all the way up to political assassinations and coups d’etat. When Casolaro’s body was discovered, his arms were violently slashed and all the documents he traveled with were missing. He had told friends and relatives if anything happened to him they shouldn’t believe it was by accident.
Being asked such a loaded question, she responded with her Ground Zero attitude saying:
“You have a copy of the software, why don’t you tell me? This is not about the software guys, ok – was it a PROMIS? It was a place you could hide a PROMIS, a place you can drop a PROMIS.”
Indira told FTW, “I was going to use Ptech software for risk surveillance at JP Morgan – Duh!”
Wonder how many Chinooks we have left in the Afghans.

How will the U.S.-British enterprise recover from the latest in a series of insults to the Afghan people?
The people of the U.S. and Great Britain get the message. In a recent poll, 61% of citizens want U.S. troops home immediately. Only 19% oppose that decisive action. In Great Britain, 75% oppose the Afghan war effort.
With negligible public support and tottering economies, how can Obama and Cameron conceive, even for a moment, that withdrawal will last through the 2014 timeline?
Indira Singh was/is one of those who were 'out of place' on 9/11.
She was supposed to be somewhere high up in the WTC's, but was also a paramedic who went to the Aid Station.
And did software/IT support for JPMorgan.
And assuming you mean 'Krongard' instead of 'Kronard'.
Buzzy Krongard was/is CIA/alex Brown/Deutsche Bank on 9/11. Said $2 million was made on a particular (airline, I think) short that was sitting unclaimed in an account.
Mr Squarcini has said Merah was never an informer for any French security agency.
Le Canard Enchaîné newspaper reported yesterday that Merah and his family were bugged by the DCRI from March to November last year. The bugging ended abruptly, Le Canard said, at about the time of the future killer's meeting with the DCRI agent in November. However, the body which authorises telephone surveillance said later that the bugging began in November and was dropped in February because it revealed nothing important."
A list that puts this issue completely to bed:
1. When under attack, the patsy attempts to reach out for help from his intelligence handler (with plenty of government lies claiming they had no connection in the patsy, no knowledge of him, and no reason to place him on any list of possible dangers).
1a)My Edit: Patsy always has less than a high school education
2 # A patsy assassinated when he could have been taken alive (and then defended himself by stating his mission was authorized by the French government)
3 # A 'radical Islamist terrorist' with no interest in religion.
4 # # The first killer was obviously a different person (based on witness descriptions), a fact ignored by the media and government.
5# Sent to Israel, of all places, using cover provided by a French intelligence agency (the Jewish targets seem to be part of a Zionist plan to scare French Jews to flee to Israel).
