Is the USS Enterprise – a creaking aircraft carrier of the US Navy – being sent to the Strait of Hormuz as a part of a bigger false flag operation?
Judge for yourself … but circulate this warning with the hopes that WW3 and war with Iran can be averted if we raise enough suspicion now.
Is this an admission of the failure of the world’s economic intellectual ‘powerhouses’ to develop a real and functional economic system that doesn’t pit man against man, man against nature, and so on?
Pundit George Soros has already called it and you can now consider yourself warned:
Socialism, then?
Fascism, more likely.
I didn’t think I’d really care about what happens with the GOP (Republican) race in the US, but the reality is that there is one candidate that makes sense to me: Ron Paul.
And there’s something that doesn’t make sense to me: the coverage (or lack thereof) of this candidate and the other candidates being presented as the most likely to win.
How did Gingrich win South Carolina when he couldn’t even ‘pack’ a staged event?
The mainstream media wants to pretend he doesn’t exist and the GOP is engaging in vote fraud (what else is new, Bush 2000, Bush 2004) to ensure that either Gingrich or Romney win the Republican title.
Here are some examples of this disturbing trend:
CNN in the US has completely dropped Ron Paul from the list of Republican candidates, possibly because some of the people with CNN are married to the military establishment, but possibly because Ron Paul simply sends a message that they don’t like.
In a CNN poll buried along the right-hand column of the same news page, there’s a poll. Here were the results yesterday afternoon, with more than 250,000 people answering the question:
Ron Paul is the leader, fighting it out with Romney. Gingrich is a distant third.
If you don’t like these numbers, how about a little comedy from Jon Stewart:
What’s important is the lack of fair coverage with the likes of CNN. The question is why? Why would they risk any journalistic integrity that they purport to have and avoid coverage of this viable candidate.
Follow the money. Many of the key players are the establishment that Ron Paul wants to do away with. Anderson Cooper, ex-CIA, is also a member of the prestigious Vanderbilt family which, along with JP Morgan, Rockefeller and others, pushed the US into reviving the Federal Reserve.
Under Ron Paul, many supporters hope that the military would face severe cuts (although this remains to be seen). CNN reporter Gloria Borger is married to Lance Morgan, influential employee with Tate Powell, a lobby group in Washington. Tate Powell also happens to represent the US military, US Chamber of Commerce and dozens of other organizations that wouldn’t be in favour of big cuts to the pork-barreling politics that is the US government today.
Now, I don’t really care about all of this, but I feel it’s important for people to understand that there are bigger things at play when it comes to what’s happening in US politics.
What I am truly bothered by is how the CBC trundles along with all of this crap and reports on how Ron Paul is a nobody and he’s ‘fading’. If you look at the poll above, Paul is IN THE LEAD with popular vote, not fading.
Why would the CBC ‘shape news’ like this for Canadians when they have nothing to gain from it?
The only clue available on the links above is that the story is regurgitated from the Canadian Press, Canada’s for-profit propaganda source owned by Bell and others. Perhaps they have everything to gain from unending war from the US?
This image is a fantastic representation of the rapid array of mergers and financial manipulation that took place in the 20+ years preceding the whole ‘too big to fail’ ‘financial crisis’ that occurred in 2008.
People: be wary of Conservative talk about how ‘they’ prevented a financial meltdown because they probably would have let it happen here if they were in charge (I know … the PCs were in charge in the early 90s, but they were progressive).
This Alternet article explores the concept of ‘zero growth’.
What is zero growth?
I would argue that zero growth is a reflection of true, basic capitalist economics where money isn’t being printed and competition exists between suppliers, ensuring that average increase for prices, wages and other inputs grow at exactly zero percent.
It’s certainly better than collapse!

For most of the world, this is all old news, but I have to vent about this issue.
Electro-Motive, the locomotive manufacturing company that’s owned by Caterpillar Inc., gave a shocking update to 500+ employees at the beginning of 2012 by telling them they had to accept less than half their original pay or the plant will be closed.
Caterpillar’s move devalues us all.
When these guys were making $30 an hour, I could charge a similar rate for my time. Now that they’re being forced to accept about half that, that has a negative impact on my billing rate.
Should I charge clients $25 per hour? $20? $15?
How low are we supposed to go?
This is a kick in the junk for all Canadians.
Admittedly, one of the greatest challenges this country (and others) faces is the resistance of unions to change. How many accept stock option plans or direct local ownership? How many engage in co-op-type models instead of worker / employer models that are cast in the beginning of the 20th century as opposed to the 21st?
What are unions doing to respond to these kind of actions locally and globally?
And what actions are our governments taking when they forked out millions to Caterpillar Inc. to set up shop in London, Ontario? What did they do to encourage ownership at the local level? Why didn’t they anticipate companies coming in, stealing our money and locking out local citizens?
What’s their plan for stability or are our politicians only good at throwing our money around for foreign corporations?
Last question: when so much went into this plant in terms of public investment, why are not considering Electro-Motive to be public property? If we spent the money to get the plant here, then part of that plant is ours and belongs to the people of Canada. It probably wouldn’t be easy, but we should re-tool the facility and convert it to making all kinds of train-related vehicles (trains, subway cars, trams, light rail, high-speed transit, etc).
To be honest, I don’t know the answer to these questions, but I know this: more people should be asking them.
I’ll be there. Join me.
Plutocracy = rule by the elite.
From ‘the Rothschild Model’ to the ‘Rise of Corporations’ as methods by which we are all fueling perpetual war.
This is 26 minutes well spent.
Of course, not all of it should be taken as gospel, but we need to understand his last comments as they relate to the ‘market’. There is a supra-national group of organizations that are not subject to any democratic input.
I also like the solution: don’t fight the beast. Stop feeding it.
The essence of the article addresses America’s expansion around the world and extension of hegemonic corporate powers universally.
It explores the deceit that’s being used to fool us into believing that a revolution is happening worldwide, while it also exposes the abyssmal coverage of the #occupy movement that occurred in North America and elsewhere.
