Are George Soros, The IMF And The World Bank Purposely Trying To Scare The Living Daylights Out Of Us?

Over the past couple of weeks, George Soros, the IMF and the World Bank have all issued incredibly chilling warnings about the possibility of an impending economic collapse. Considering the power and the influence that Soros, the IMF and the World Bank all have over the global financial system, this is very alarming. So are they purposely trying to scare the living daylights out of us? Soros is even warning of riots in the streets of America. Unfortunately, way too often top global leaders say something in public because they want to "push" events in a certain direction. Do George Soros and officials at the IMF and World Bank hope to prevent a worldwide financial collapse by making these statements, or are other agendas at work? We may never know. But one thing is for sure - many of the top financial officials in the world are using language that is downright "apocalyptic", and that is not a good sign for the rest of 2012.

The United Nations Wants To Crash The World Economy In Order To Save The Environment

The United Nations says that the earth is in great danger and that the way you and I are living is the problem. In a shocking new report entitled, "Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing" the UN declares that the entire way that we currently approach economics needs to be changed. Instead of focusing on things like "economic growth", the UN is encouraging nations all over the world to start basing measurements of economic success on the goal of achieving "sustainable development". But there is a huge problem with that. The UN says that what we are doing right now is "unsustainable" by definition, and the major industrialized nations of the western world are the biggest culprits. According to the UN, since we are the ones that create the most carbon emissions and the most pollution, we are the ones that should make the biggest sacrifices. In addition, since we have the most money, we should also be willing to finance the transition of the developing world to a "sustainable development" economy as well. As you will see detailed in the rest of this article, the United Nations basically wants to crash the world economy in order to save the environment. Considering the fact that the U.S. and Europe are in the midst of a horrible economic crisis and are already drowning in debt, this is something that we simply cannot afford.

US turns the page towards new wars

Behind the Pentagon’s budget cuts

by Manlio Dinucci

The recent announcement that US military spending is set to grow at a slower pace and that ground troops will not fight in more than one major war at once was welcomed by many. However, according to Manlio Dinucci, it is all smoke and mirrors: the incremental outsourcing of conflicts to vassal states, the black budgets for intelligence agencies and the expanded use of technological warfare hardly foreshadow a scaling down in the number of Pentagon-run theaters of wars.

"We’re turning the page on a decade of war: this is what President Obama said during a press conference on 5 January at the Pentagon, while presenting his new strategy, with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The armed forces will be "leaner," allowing for budget cuts of 450 billion dollars over ten years. The propaganda message is clear: in times of crisis, even the armed forces have to tighten their belt. Does it mean that the Pentagon disarming? Not at all: it will rationalize the use of resources to render its war machine even more efficient.

THE RON PAUL'S DOLLAR

by Ron Paul
The Federal Reserve’s interest rate price-setting board, the FOMC, met last week. They will continue to set the federal funds rate at well below 1%, and plan to keep it low until the end of 2014. That’s a year and half longer than they planned when they met just last month. Chairman Bernanke says they are keeping interest rates so low for so long because the economic outlook warrants it.

An Introduction to Anarchism

An Introduction to Anarchism

Anarchism has, needless to say, a very bad name. Representatives of the establishment and reporters in the mass media habitually use it as an insult, or as a description of any condition of disorder or widespread violence. This is true even when turmoil or terrorism is the result of individuals or groups who have absolutely no relation to the anarchist movement or by states which are, in essence, precisely what anarchism seeks to abolish.

Despite pledge, government hasn’t allowed drilling on 97 percent of coast

President Obama’s ambiguous call to “open” 75 percent of the country’s potential offshore oil and natural gas resources to exploration may sound generous, but the truth is, the areas containing those resources are technically already included in the upcoming 2012 to 2017 offshore leasing plan, and they are virtually the same areas where exploration and production have been allowed for decades.

LAS VEGAS — After repeatedly flirting with his own presidential bid last year, business tycoon Donald Trump on Thursday picked someone else as his stand-in, endorsing fellow businessman Mitt Romney.
“Mitt is tough, he’s smart, he’s sharp. He’s not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country we all love,” Mr. Trump said at his resort, the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas. “Governor Romney, go out and get ‘em. You can do it.”

Gary Becker & Immigration: The price of entry – The Economist

North Africans risk their lives to try to cross the Mediterranean to southern Europe. Mexicans pay “mules” to get them across the border with the United States. Afghans camp outside Calais in filthy surroundings, waiting to cross into Britain. Everywhere, it seems, there are people trying to get into another country. Even those who seek to move legally in order to work face huge barriers to entry in certain countries. People on work visas account for 70% of legal migrants to Germany, for instance, but only 5.6% of those entering America, the original land of opportunity. Most of the rest get in because a member of their family is already in the country. America’s annual quota of visas for the highly skilled can run out in a matter of weeks. More people want to move to rich countries than are able to.

How the Velvet Underground and Václav Havel built a blueprint for toppling totalitarians and other censors.
The arrival of amplified rock music performed by free-spirited longhairs was not, to put it mildly, greeted with enthusiasm by the Cold Warriors of the West. Nearly a decade after Elvis’s pelvis dislocated social mores and Frank Sinatra denounced rock as “the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the Earth,” rock ’n’ roll refuseniks were still crying bloody murder.

Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson’s family is bankrolling Gingrich super PAC

By James V. Grimaldi, Published: February 1

Family members of Las Vegas Sands casino magnate Sheldon Adelson donated $1 million last year to an independent group supporting presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, in addition to the $10 million that Adelson and his wife, Miriam, have given the super PAC this year.
Of the $2 million in donations reported through the end of 2011 by the Winning Our Future political action committee, which backs Gingrich’s campaign, half came from the daughters and son-in-law of Miriam Adelson, according to filings made to the Federal Election Commission this week.

Russia and China in the Balance of the Middle East: Syria and other countries

by Imad Fawzi Shueibi

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world has been searching for a new geopolitical balance. All the various models have failed, starting with the unipolar world order of the New American Century. What emerges is not the result of an ideology, but a tectonic shift in the global balance of power, observes geopolitician Imad Fawzi Shueib. The double Russian and Chinese veto related to the Syrian crisis marks the dawn of this new world configuration, which is still groping to find its own operating rules in a complete break with past models.

With the Russian-Chinese joint/double veto as regards Syria, the French –Anglo-Saxon shock was not taken as a transient contingency in international strategies. Such a veto was intended to be a message sent by the emerging economies; china, Russia and its satellite Eurasian states, in addition to states of the Shanghai Treaty, to the European and American flagging economies that it is high time for the crystallization of a new world order after the dominance of two phases over the international system in the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR; unipolarity (1991-2006) and non-polarity (2006-2011). These are not actual world systems due to absence of international game rules and discord between the phase of unipolarity and a multinational global economy in the first phase, and to the inability of the phase of non-polarity to substantially be a international system.

What Is Really Going On In Syria: Insider Update

by Boris Dolgov

In this article Boris Dolgov, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow, reports on his recent trip to Syria. His field investigation is particularly valuable since most of the information about Syria in recent months has emanated from Beirut, Paris or London. Professor Dolgov confirms that, far from a contrived "Arab Spring" scenario, Syria is undeniably grappling with the threat of foreign occupation. He observes that while the offensive is inordinately violent, the population will not be intimidated. Aware of the disaster wrought by NATO "humanitarian" operations in Yugoslavia and Libya, the Syrians refuse to be drawn into a sectarian ambush. A process of reform and development is on track, but it will not be dictated from abroad. In Syria, one may object to the president, but not to national sovereignty.

The Next War

Oliver North |

Not one of the old "frogmen" or young SEALs who gathered this week at the nearby National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum for their annual Muster want to see another war. Those who came here are veterans of combat spanning from World War II to the present war in Iraq and Afghanistan to numerous other unnamed fights around the globe. Within their ranks are men -- and their families -- who know what it means to go in harm's way, often without any recognition or public acclaim.

When War Games Go Live. Preparing to Attack Iran. "Simulating World War III"

by Michel Chossudovsky

With ongoing war games on both sides, armed hostilities between the US-Israel led coalition and Iran are, according to Israeli military analysts, "dangerously close".

There has been a massive deployment of troops which have been dispatched to the Middle East, not to mention the redeployment of US and allied troops previously stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Nine thousand US troops have been dispatched to Israel to participate in what is described by the Israeli press as the largest joint air defense war exercise in Israeli history.

The drill, called “Austere Challenge 12,” is scheduled to take place within the next few weeks. Its stated purpose "is to test multiple Israeli and US air defense systems, especially the “Arrow” system, which the country specifically developed with help from the US to intercept Iranian missiles."

In the course of December, Iran conducted its own war games with a major ten days naval exercise in the Strait of Hormuz, (December 24, 2011- January 2, 2012).

Missile defense and naval war games are being conducted simultaneously. While Israel and the US are preparing to launch major naval exercises in the Persian Gulf, Tehran has announced that it plans to conduct major naval exercises in February.

An impressive deployment of troops and advanced military hardware is unfolding.

Meanwhile, Israel has become a de facto US military outpost. US and Israeli command structures are being integrated, with close consultations between the Pentagon and Israel's Ministry of Defense.

A large number of US troops will be stationed in Israel once the war games are completed.

The assumption of this military deployment is the staging of a joint US-Israeli air attack on Iran. Military escalation towards a regional war is part of the military scenario.
