The Lebanese daily As-Safir quoted “well informed sources” as saying that Assad had revealed that Syrian-Saudi efforts to defuse the Lebanese crisis over the STL indictment (in martyr Rafiq Hariri’s assassination) “has reached a near- final conclusion, but the delay in announcing it was due to Saudi King Abdullah’s health condition and his travel to the US for treatment.”
“Assad told the Saudis during arduous talks: If you want Lebanon to remain strong, the indictment should be rejected and we have to work together to stop it from being issued,” As-Safir reported.

Don't Think About All Those Things You Fear

Here is my Christmas song. An optimistic message. As the "machine" continues it's unfolding and all that it represents.

The delicate human* will prevail.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Hide and Q” Captain Jean-Luc Picard says to “Q”: “What Hamlet said with irony I say with conviction: *‘What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god!’ ”

Washington’s Geopolitical Nightmare: China and Russia boost economic cooperation [Voltaire]: "Washington’s Geopolitical Nightmare: China and Russia boost economic cooperation
by F. William Engdahl*"
Whatever internal factional battles might be going on inside Kremlin walls between Medvedev and Putin, there are clear signs of late that both Beijing and Moscow are moving decisively after long hesitation to strengthen strategic economic cooperation in the face of the obvious disintegration of America as the sole Superpower. If the recent trend is deepened it will create Washington’s worst geopolitical nightmare: a unified Eurasia landmass capable of challenging America’s global economic hegemony.

Terrorists may poison the food supply (but the food companies already have)

Terrorists may poison the food supply (but the food companies already have)
Always on the terror streak, the mainstream media is now warning Americans that terrorists may strike the food supply by dumping poison into restaurant salad bars and buffets, for example.
If you really want to poison the U.S. food supply, just use aspartame. It causes neurological disorders and yet remains perfectly legal to dump into foods such as diet sodas and children’s medicines.

The War Prayer : Veterans Today

The War Prayer : Veterans Today: "The War Prayer"
Twain wrote The War Prayer during the U.S. war on the Philippines. It was submitted for publication, but on March 22, 1905, Harper’s Bazaar rejected it as “not quite suited to a woman’s magazine.” Eight days later, Twain wrote to his friend Dan Beard, to whom he had read the story, “I don’t think the prayer will be published in my time. None but the dead are permitted to tell the truth.” Because he had an exclusive contract with Harper & Brothers, Mark Twain could not publish “The War Prayer” elsewhere and it remained unpublished until 1923.

Smoking Mirrors: What's any of This got to do with That?: "What's any of This got to do with That?"
It takes a tremendous amount of force and fearlessness to go against the common grain and live in varying states of pariah status. One has to disappoint friends and family and sometimes walk some long roads without being understood, while incapable of presenting any convincing explanation. If you imagine that tales like these always end in madness; suicide, censure, poverty and whatever negative connotation you can come up with, think again. Anyone who is sincere and perseveres, gains the friendship of angels and all those invisible beings who assist humanity, just as demons work the other side of the court.

Bloggers claim WikiLeaks struck deal with Israel over diplomatic cables leaks - Haaretz Daily Newspaper Israel News: "Bloggers claim WikiLeaks struck deal with Israel over diplomatic cables leaks"
It was only a matter of time before conspiracy theorists came out of the woodwork to suggest that Israel is behind the publication of the WikiLeaks trove - and is manipulating the information coming out to help Israeli interests.

"Where is the real dirt on Israel?" these conspiracy theorists - messaging back and forth in the blogosphere - are asking one another.

Important point from a post @ Angry Arab Blog(below):
Israel and Wikileaks
"Other observers offer an alternative explanation for the lack - so far - of many insightful cables out of Israel. For example, Ed Abington, a former U.S. consul general in Jerusalem (1993-1997 ) suggests, on facebook, that it might have something to do with the level of information being offered out of the country. "The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv has been so out of the loop for the last six years that their reporting is about what you read in the Israeli press (probably where they get most of their information ). "There's a channel U.S. embassies use for very sensitive information and I don't think WikiLeaks has those cables. As for Tel Aviv, the last two ambassadors have not been risk-takers and have had a very low profile. I doubt they have been willing to rock the boat, and may not have had much, if any, inside information." What would be more interesting, Abington persists, is the reporting from the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem. "Where is that reporting?" he asks." (thanks Mouin)

Here is the problem!
US infiltration of Israeli "sensitive information" is NON EXISTENT. The networks inside the "tribe" are tighter then a gnats arse. These ineffectual dandies in US intel might as well bang their heads against a wall. The "tribe" see these western effetes and head south. The gaylords of MI6 and CIA should learn a lesson from Hezbollah.Fat chance that.

...successful political movements like the American Revolution and the more recent populist uprising are historically led by people who have individual self-respect, something very much lacking in today’s society, as well as collective confidence and trust in one another. “When you’re living in a society that breaks people’s self-respect and breaks their bonds of trust with one another, it makes it very difficult to have any kind of democratic revolutionary movement,” remarks Levine.

Principle of astrology proven to be scientific: planetary position imprints biological clocks of mammals

Principle of astrology proven to be scientific: planetary position imprints biological clocks of mammals: "Principle of astrology proven to be scientific: planetary position imprints biological clocks of mammals"
there is a scientific basis for astrology, too. The relationship between the Earth, Moon and Sun naturally alter light exposure, temperature, gravitational pull and other conditions that may be sensed by living organisms. To believe in astrology, all that's really required is to grasp the basic concepts of the interrelationships between all living things. Does the position of the sun or moon influence life on Earth? Of course it does: Life as we know it wouldn't even exist without the moon tugging on Earth and preventing its rotational axis from shifting around to the point where radical changes in seasonal temperatures would make life far more challenging. (The moon, in other words, is one of the key "stabilizers" of life on planet Earth because it tends to stabilize the seasons and keep the Earth on a steady rotational plane.)

Dear Mr. Sanger

Why did you omit mention of the recent, Nov. 29 assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari in your Dec. 10 report on U.S. opposition to Iranian nuclear power?

You mentioned the Stuxnet “worm” whose provenance pre-dates the assassination, but the not the assassination itself, or the murder of another scientist’s wife, Mrs. Fereydoon Abbasi, in the same attack.

Sincerely,
Michael Hoffman

Julian Assange

He's a guy with a vague history...

Who travels the world without visible means of support...

His parents: Members of an LSD "cult" that abused kids...

Hmmm...

He's not against war...

He hates the 9/11 truth movement...

He has no info about the Bush or Obama White House...or the Federal Reserve Bank...or Goldman Sachs (but he is helping take down Bank of America)...

His "leaks" paint Pakistan as a threat and foreign politicians the CIA doesn't like as jerks...

He believes Osama is alive...and probably in Pakistan...

Everything else he "leaks" is stuff we all already knew...

The mainstream media loves him...

The right wingers love to hate him and are using him as a justification to censor the Net...

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and smells like a duck...

Another intelligence agency spectacle.

“The STL has neglected to consider several key developments: the exposure of Israeli espionage rings operating in Lebanon resulting in the arrest of more than 100 people on charges of collaborating with the Mossad; the captured agents’ confessions detailing the collusion, including one who said his Israeli handlers instructed him to delude the late prime minister into thinking Hezbollah was out to kill him (Hariri) and so allow the agent to alter the route Hariri’s motorcade would take that fateful February day”

Edge of Darkness(1985) UK TV

Last year, early 2010, Mel Gibson was in the remake of Martin Campbell's UK tee vee series, Edge of Darkness. Not having seen the original 1985 piece , I was greatly surprised to encounter it on You Tube.
Most critics found the newer version, not as good. I, however, embrace the newer version with Mel. It is tighter and leaner and meaner. It is more American and thusly, more relevant to Americans. The American version also displays a wider socio-economic chasm between the "good guys" and the "bad guys". The bad guys having overwhelming resources at their disposal, whilst the good guys were always fighting an uphill battle. The American version,was more updated, essentially, a working class peasant vs. an all powerful aristocracy. No middle class, as in this UK version where there is, seemingly, hope of overcoming the dark side.
Nevertheless, the essential message is the same. An extremely ruthless military industrial complex, run completely and dangerously amok.

in the decision Holder v. the Humanitarian Law Project, the US Supreme Court "decided that nonviolent First Amendment speech and advocacy 'coordinated with' or 'under the direction of' a foreign group listed by the Secretary of State as 'terrorist' was a crime."

The "foreign terrorist organization" designation is unilaterally declared by the US Secretary of State and virtually impossible to challenge. The Center for Constitutional Rights describes "the government's current fervor to use the label of terrorism as a brand for groups and organizations that are not toeing the line on US foreign policy" ("Factsheet: Material Support").

Is Israel's Mossad Targeting Iran's Nuclear Scientists? - TIME: "Is the Mossad Targeting Iran's Nuclear Scientists?"

The Iranian nuclear expert assassinated in Tehran on Monday was the top scientist and senior manager of Iran's nuclear effort. Majid Shahriari was killed when an explosive charge placed in his car was detonated by remote control after he climbed into the vehicle, according to a Western intelligence expert with knowledge of the operation

The world INCREASINGLY views Israel as a criminal entity along with it's financial ENABLER, America. We Americans have given the Zionist entity billions of US tax dollars since Israel's inception in 1948. What a dark history this is. What will future generations say about this criminal network?
As I recall,assassins were dealt with severely, oftimes, executed with extreme prejudice (as in the case of Lincoln's assassins). Assassination was viewed as a monstrous crime then, where even a woman was hanged(the first woman executed in US History was Mary Surratt).
I posted a piece about this dark chapter in US History HERE
That link shows how elite social engineers in Hollywood are hard at work creating a revised history of Lincoln's assassins. Essentially, painting them in a very different light. A light that makes them far more acceptable. I suppose this new revised interpretation is designed to make assassination more palatable to the general public,as in this case of assassinating an Iranian nuclear scientist. Just a heads up Amerika, as we make a head long dive into moral bankruptcy & degeneracy.

Amerika is now under the Vampiric spell of the same European Crowned Bloodsuckers that assasssinated Lincoln. Witness the identical tools of the trade.... assassination of political enemies. The proof is in the pudding folks.
