Police fired on de Menezes without shouting any warning.
If the police and military had really thought de Menezes was a terrorist, they would have arrested him at his home (1) or as he walked to the bus stop (2) or after he got off the bus (3) and headed to the tube station. At the inquest into the July 2005 murder of Jean Charles de Menezes at a London tube station, witnesses have stated that armed police fired on de Menezes without shouting any warning.
Menezes police 'gave no warning'
The police have consistently 'lied' about the murder of de Menezes, and there is a suspicion that the police and army knew de Menezes was an innocent man and that his killing was part of a 'strategy of terror' of the sort associated with Operation Gladio.
In the CIA-NATO's Operation Gladio, 'acts of terrorism were carried out in Italy' in order to keep certain parties in power.
Firearms officers had said de Menezes had moved towards them after they shouted warnings.
But Mrs de Menezes said outside the inquest: "None of the passengers heard the police give any warning or described Jean's actions as aggressive."
Rachel Wilson and her boyfriend Ralph Livock had been sitting opposite Mr de Menezes.
She told the inquest nothing had been said to alert her that the men were plain-clothes officers and that she initially thought they were just messing around.
Nicholas Hilliard QC, counsel to the inquest, asked her: "Specifically, did you ever hear anybody shout 'armed police'?"
Ms Wilson answered: "If I had heard that, I would have thought they were police, so no."
Mr Livock had told the inquest that their train was held up for longer than usual when four casually-dressed men with guns got on board.
Mr Hilliard asked: "Had you heard anything said about police?"
Mr Livock replied: "No, certainly not.
"I remember that specifically because one of the conversations that Rachel and I had afterwards was that we had no idea whether these were police, whether they were terrorists, whether they were somebody else.
"The thing that made me realise it wasn't a group of lads playing around or something else happening was when the first shot was fired."
De menezesMr Livock described Mr de Menezes' reactions when an officer pointed a pistol at his head.
"He looked as if he was expecting somebody to say something but he didn't look frightened," said Mr Livock.
If the police and military had really thought de Menezes was a terrorist, they would have arrested him at his home or as he walked to the bus stop or after he got off the bus and headed to the tube station.
It is believed by some that a secretive government agency was behind the London Bombings.

Americanisation

Americanisation means the destruction of pretty gardens and houses and their replacement with ugly concrete structures.
Americanisation means crime, violence and unhappy children.
Americanisation means that beautiful old cultures are torn down and replaced with malls where you can buy McDonalds or watch a film about madness, mayhem and murder.
Americanisation means control by the military, the drug mafias and the big corporations.
When people try to resist Americanisation they find that they are subjected to false-flag terrorism and rigged elections.
"There are no people outdoors anymore—no kids on bikes, no neighbors talking over fences, no old men sitting on porches."
According to Gallup, 1957 was the happiest year ever in the USA.
After that, it was all downhill.
Bill Bryson has written about the destruction of pretty towns and farms in the USA.
Bill Bryson: The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid (2006)
1. American Farms destroyed
Bill Bryson writes: "I was born into a state that had two hundred thousand farms. Today the number is less than half that and falling...
"Most small towns in Iowa have pretty well died.
"Drive anywhere in the state these days and what you see are empty towns, empty roads, collapsing barns, boarded farmhouses."
Bigger farms make more money.
2. Americans' worship of money.
Bill Bryson describes the Americans' worship of mammon in the years after 1957.
"We were entering a world where things were done because they offered a better return, not a better world.
"People were wealthier than ever before, but life somehow didn’t seem as much fun...
"Women increasingly went out to work..."
3. Americans become more dumb and more criminal.
Bill Bryson writes: "Juvenile crime continued to rise and the education system seemed to be falling apart.
"The most popular nonfiction book of 1957 was an attack on American education standards called Why Johnny Can’t Read..."
"Television got itself into a terrible scandal when it was revealed that many of the game shows were rigged."

4. American Towns destroyed
Bill Bryson describes what happened to Des Moines as the big corporations took over.
"Now we would be able to dine at the same restaurants, eat the same fast foods, wear the same clothes, direct visitors to the same motel beds as people in California and New York and Florida.
"Des Moines would be exactly like everywhere else...
"Often now along streets like Grand and University avenues the old houses were bulldozed to splinters...
"Two stately Victorian houses across from Tech High School on Grand had become sudden vague memories.
"The old downtown movie palaces were among the first to go.
"Bishop’s, our beloved cafeteria, closed about the same time...
"The Register ... which once truly was the pride of Iowa, got taken over by the Gannett organization three years later. Today it is, well, not what it was...
"My peerless Little League park, with its grandstand and press box, was torn down...
"There are no people outdoors anymore—no kids on bikes, no neighbors talking over fences, no old men sitting on porches.
"Everyone is indoors.
"All the downtown stores went one by one...
"Then somebody got mugged or saw a disturbed homeless person or something, and hardly anybody went downtown after dark after that, and most of the rest of the restaurants and nightspots closed.
"In the ultimate indignity, even the bus station moved out...

OBAMA, BRZEZINSKI, FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS and a new cold war.
Begin playing chess with Brzezinski
Webster Tarpley believes that we are in for a new anti-Russia Cold War, thanks to Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Tarpley believes that Brzezinski now has strong influence with Obama and with the CIA.
Webster Tarpley: Brzezinski Seizing Control Over US Policy.
http://actindependent.org/BrzezinskiSeizing.pdf
Tarpley believes Obama was recruited by Brzezinski at Columbia University around 1981, 1982, 1983.
Reportedly Obama is linked to the Bilderberger-Group through Joseph Nye. (Cached)
On Obama's economic team is Austin Goolsby, reportedly a member of Skull and Bones. (Cached)
1. KOSOVO - Reportedly, Brzezinski likes the idea of an independent Kosovo, because Kosovo is a NATO puppet and an opponent of Russia.
Tarpley sees Kosovo as being "essentially the terrorist KLA, an organization devoted to gun-running, drug-running, and trafficking in human slaves.
"The KLA is a Balkan version of Al Qaeda, and both are wholly owned creations of the CIA and British intelligence."
2. US EMBASSY, BELGRADE, SERBIA - Tarpley believes that the CIA goes in for false flag terror attacks as a way of stirring up tension and promoting a fascist agenda.
Tarpley believes Brzezinski was behind the attack on the US Embassy in Belgrade in early 2008.
This attack would be intended to put pressure on Serbia to end its hostility to Kosovan independence.
Tarpley suggests that Brzezinski was behind the 1979 attack on the US embassy in Teheran, Iran, which led to the taking of hostages and the crisis which helped to doom the Carter administration.
(Dr. William Engdahl in A Century of War: Anglo-American oil politics and the new world order, 2004, provides evidence that the 1979 Iranian revolution was supported by the Carter administration as a means to stop the spread of communism into Iran and the Middle East.
The Shah was seen as having become too independent minded.
It has been suggested that a pro-Reagan faction within the CIA did a deal with Iran that was better than anything Carter might offer.)
The Shah (left) and Brzezinski (right)3. SYRIA - Brzezinski wants to lessen Russian influence in Syria, including the closing of naval facilities that the Russian navy has maintained in that country.
Brzezinski wants Iran and Syria as allies against Russia.
Brzezinski would also like Europe and China to be anti-Russia.
4. AFRICA - According to Tarpley, Brzezinski wants destabilization and chaos in Africa, in order to drive out the Chinese and in order to prevent them getting Africa's oil and other raw materials.
Brzezinski believes that if the Chinese cannot get their oil from Africa, they will be forced to attempt the military seizure of Russia’s oil wells in the Far East.
5. PAKISTAN - In July 2007, Obama supported the idea of bombing targets inside Pakistan without the permission of Pakistan.
Tarpley believes that Brzezinski is the brains behind Obama's foreign policy.
Tarpley believes Pakistan is being targeted because of its friendship with China.
Brzezinski reportedly wants to strip the Chinese of all their allies as part of a campaign to smash the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (A mutual-security organization founded in 2001 by the leaders of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.)
Brzezinski wants to break up the Russia into its ethnic constituents
7. THE FALL OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT - In May 2008, Romano Prodi's government was overthrown.
Reportedly, Romano Prodi's government had opposed the idea of confrontation with Russia.
Prodi had gone in for economic cooperation with Russia, 'much of it mediated through the Italian oil company ENI'.
At the same time, the Vatican had become more friendly with the Russian Orthodox Church.
The UK, Germany and France, reportedly, support the CIA line on Russia.
Gordon Brown has been "fomenting confrontation with Russia through such transparent provocations as the Litvinenko-Berezovsky affair."
ALLEGED CIA SUPPORT FOR OBAMA
Tarpley refers to:
1. The New York Times revealing scandals involving John McCain.
2. The media continuing to cover up the revelations of Larry Sinclair.

WAS KHOMEINI AN AGENT OF THE US AND UK GOVERNMENTS?
Does he look partly British?
Was the Ayatollah Khomeini secretly working with the US and UK governments?
Was Iran working with the CIA at the time of the 1980 hostage crisis and the October Surprise?
Was Iran working with the CIA at the time of the Lockerbie Bombing?
Agent of British intelligence?In 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini took over Iran.
In 1979, Grand Ayatollah Mussa Sadr disappeared during a visit to Libya.
Mussa Sadr was the Iranian born leader of the Lebanese Shia and he "was revered and respected above all others in the Shia world." (Anti-Mullah: Who is the Ayatollah Khomeini?)
Mussa Sadr had refused to accept Khomeini as an ayatollah.
Reportedly, Khomeini was not Iranian.
He"was neither born (in Iran) nor had any Persian blood in his veins at all, paternally or maternally." (Anti-Mullah: Who is the Ayatollah Khomeini?)
Tehran by Hansueli Krapf
The following is based on an article, at http://noiri.blogspot.com/, entitled Who is the Ayatollah Khomeini?
1. In 1964 Ayatollah Shariatmadari and Ayatollah Golpayegani gave Khomeini the title of Ayatollah.
Reportedly, they had done this to save Khomeini's life, as Khomeini was facing a charge of treason against the Shah.
And reportedly it was the UK ambassador who had urged that Khomeini be saved.
2. Shariatmadari was higher in the religious hierarchy than Khomeini.
In 1979, Shariatmadari was placed under house arrest.
3. Khomeini's mother was a Kashmiri Indian.
The Iranian Senator Moussavi knew Khomeini's father. Reportedly Khomeini had Moussavi killed.
Reportedly, a story was invented that Khomeini had a Kashmiri Indian father with Iranian origins.
4. Reportedly, Khomeini's real father, was William Richard Williamson, born in Bristol, England, in 1872 of British parents and lineage.
A witness to this was a former Iranian employee of the Anglo- Iranian Oil Company (later BP), who knew the Khomeini family.
In 1979, when Col. Archie Chisholm, a BP political officer and former editor at The Financial Times, was asked about this, he neither confirmed nor denied the story.
William Richard Williamson's biography was written in the early 1950s, by Stanton Hope, a British Journalist and writer who had met Williamson in his home near Basra in the late 1940s. The book title is: Arabian Adventurer: the Story of Haji Williamson
Lovers
5. Reportedly, Richard Williamson, at the age of 20, was working in South Yemen in the local police force.
"His good looks soon had Sultan Fazl bin-Ali, ruler of Lahej, persuading him to quit the police force to live with him. Richard later left him for another Sheikh, Youssef Ebrahim, a relative of the Al- Sabah family, which rules Kuwait today."
6. In Iran at this time, the British were exploiting the oilfields.
Williamson, now a Moslem, joined British Petroleum as political officer. He called himself Haji Abdollah Fazl Zobeiri.
7. Williamson took holidays in Kashmir and married at least seven times to Arab and Indian women.
His sons attended religious schools.
Reportedly, one son went to the Iranian holy city of Qom and took the name Khomeini.

8. In the early 1960s, Khomeini began to plot against the Shah. In 1964 Khomeini was sentenced to death. By becoming an Ayatollah, his life was saved.
9. Reportedly, in 1979, Khomeini was flown from France to Tehran, with the help of MI6.
The Shah of Iran was toppled by the CIA and MI6?
The mainstream media would like us to believe that the Shah was overthrown by People Power and that the CIA and MI6 were taken by surprise.
However, there is evidence that the CIA and MI6 toppled the Shah because he had become too much of a nationalist, like Nasser, and was not following instructions on oil or even opium.
The CIA did not want left-wing democrats taking over from the Shah as they might not be easy to control. So, reportedly, the CIA allowed the Ayatollahs to take over.
Radio Free Iran claimed that while at Qom, the Ayatollah Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."
The British, Muslim Terrorism and September 11
Shah
On 19 January 1980, the International Herald Tribune reported that the Shah had said, two years before he was overthrown, that he had heard from two different sources connected with oil companies that the regime in Iran would change.
‘We believe that there was a plan to ensure less oil was offered to the world markets in order to bring about a price,’ said the Shah. ‘One country was to be chosen for the sacrifice... It seems that the country chosen to drop its oil production was mine.’
webgardian: Shah:Oil Companies Helped to Oust Him
The Shah's nationalist policies were making him more popular in Iran and making his country more independent and more powerful. This worried the CIA and MI6.
1. The Shah bought land from the upper classes and, along with the crown's own land, sold it back cheaply to tenant farmers. Over one a half million people to became land owners, thus ending the old feudal system.
2.The Shah allowed women the right to vote. He brought an end to the wearing of the veil.
3. He developed plans for a $90 billion nuclear power program.
4. The Shah signed petroleum agreements with ENI, the Italian oil company.
5. He began to close down the opium industry. This had been created during the days of British influence.
'Former intelligence officer' Dr John Coleman considers opium to be of prime importance in the toppling of the Shah (Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300 - 6). Dr Coleman is sometimes described as being a conspiracy theorist.
Coleman believes that the US government toppled the Shah of Iran.
He writes:
Why was the Shah deposed...?
In a word, because of DRUGS. The Shah had clamped down and virtually put an end to the immensely lucrative opium trade being conducted out of Iran by the British. At the time that the Shah took over in Iran, there were already one million opium/heroin addicts.
This the British would not tolerate, so they sent the United States to do their dirty work for them in terms of the “special relationship” between the two countries.
When Khomeini took over the U.S. Embassy in Teheran, arms sales by the United States, which had begun with the Shah, were not discontinued...
After 1984, Khomeini’s liberal attitude toward opium had increased the number of addicts to 2 million, according to United Nations and World Health Organization statistics.
Both President Carter and his successor, Ronald Reagan, willingly and with full knowledge of what was at stake, went on supplying arms to Iran even while American hostages languished in captivity...
The arms trade with Iran was sealed at a meeting between Cyrus Vance... and Dr. Hashemi, which resulted in the U.S. Air Force beginning an immediate airlift of arms to Iran, carried on even at the height of the hostage crisis the arms came from U.S. Army stockpiles in Germany and some were even flown directly from the United States with refueling stops at the Azores.
With the advent of Khomeini... opium production skyrocketed. By 1984 Iran’s opium production exceeded 650 metric tons of opium per annum.... Iran presently rivals the Golden Triangle in the volume of opium produced.
The role of the Moslem Brotherhood and the Ayatollahs
The following is taken from http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/BritIslam.htm
(Sources used in the article: The Biography of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh, jebhemelli.org
Killing Hope - U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II, William Blum, 1995
MI6 - Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, Stephen Dorril, 2000)
Prior to World War II, British Intelligence cultivated ties with the Brotherhood through agent Freya Stark, the British adventurer and writer... The Muslim Brotherhood spread throughout the Muslim world and has evolved into something like a Muslim equivalent of the West's Masonic brotherhood...
"According to CIA agent Miles Copeland, the Americans began looking for a Muslim Billy Graham around 1955... When finding or creating a Muslim Billy Graham proved elusive, the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim mass organization founded in Egypt but with followers throughout the Arab Middle East... This signalled the beginning of an alliance between the traditional regimes and mass Islamic movements against Nasser and other secular forces." (Blum)
The most noteworthy success of the Islamic movement during this time was of course the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the installation of the Ayatollah Khomeini as the Islamic dictator. British Intelligence had used their contacts with Iran's mullahs and ayatollahs to help overthrow Mossadegh and install the Shah back in 1953, and these contacts were maintained and used again to overthrow the Shah when his regime fell out of favor.
The Establishment history of Iran's Islamic Revolution is that Khomeini's revolt was spontaneous and populist, and that it overthrew a repressive dictatorship that was hated by the people but supported wholeheartedly by the United States. It is true that the Shah's government was not a democracy and that his secret service, trained by the CIA, was one of the most effective intelligence organizations in the world.
But what is not reported is that prior to the British-sponsored massive public relations campaign on behalf of the Ayatollah the government of the Shah was loved by the vast majority of the population.
After taking over from Mossadegh the Shah began to push forward a number of nationalist policies that increased his popularity at home but, in some cases, worried the Anglo-American Establishment.
First, he signed petroleum agreements with ENI, the Italian oil company.
Then in 1963 he pushed forward on a series of popular reforms that became known as the White Revolution.
The Shah evolved into a nationalist whose path paralleled that of Nasser far too much for the Establishment's liking:
- He bought land from the upper classes and, along with the crown's own land, sold it back cheaply to tenant farmers, allowing over one a half million people to become land owners and ending the old feudal system.
- He allowed women the right to vote, and brought an end to the wearing of the veil, which were "Westernizing" moves unwelcomed by the religious sector.
- He pushed forward on a $90 billion nuclear power program.
- He moved to shut down the lucrative opium industry that had been created during the days of British Empire control that had been running for a hundred years....
The attack on the Shah's government came through the Muslim Brotherhood and through the mullahs and ayatollahs of Iran, supported and manipulated by British Intelligence...
Dr. John Coleman, a former British Intelligence agent... states in his report on Iran's Islamic Revolution (11) that the Muslim Brotherhood was created by "the great names of British Middle East intelligence" ...and that their mission was to "keep the Middle East backward so that its natural resource, oil, could continue to be looted..."
Dr. Coleman writes that in 1980 the broadcasts of Radio Free Iran divided the enemies of the Shah into four categories: 1. Iranian politicians bought by the Israeli Shin Bet, 2. The CIA's network of agents, 3. The feudal landowners, 4. The Freemasons and the Muslim Brotherhood (viewed as the same enemy).
In his report Dr. Coleman writes that in Iran, "At one time there was even a joke about the mullahs being stamped 'made in Britain.'" When the Shah introduced his plan for modernization in 1963 the Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as the leader of the religious opposition. Up until his exile from Iran in 1964, Khomeini was based at the religious city of Qom. Dr. Coleman relates that Radio Free Iran claimed that while at Qom Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."

On February 1st, 1979, two weeks after the Shah's departure, Khomeini made a triumphant return to Iran. The BBC's John Simpson was on the plane that carried him back from Paris. aangirfan: BBC links to MI6?

Oil wealth staves off recession
Because of oil wealth, countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait appear to be coping with the economic crisis.
The United Arab Emirates has put $32 billion into its banking system and guaranteed bank deposits.
(Slowdown in Persian Gulf Reverberates in Middle East)
Saudi Arabia has put extra money into the Saudi Credit Bank, a bank which gives interest-free loans to less well-off Saudis.
Kuwait has taken steps to prop up its second largest bank.
While oil-rich Scotland suffers, because its oil wealth gets stolen by England, the gulf is unlikely to have a recession.
“We are not calling for a recession in the gulf,” said Marios Maratheftis, regional head of research for Standard Chartered Bank in Dubai. “We are looking at a slowdown.”
Egypt, Jordan and Syria normally receive lots of money from those of their citizens living in the gulf.

Google reveals CIA thinking?
Reportedly, most editors in the mainstream media are influenced by the CIA.
This is the result of Operation Mockingbird.
And, reportedly, Google works with the CIA (Ex-CIA Agent States Google is "In Bed With" the CIA Threadwatch.org)
So, if we do a Google News search, we can find which bits of propaganda the CIA and Google would most like us to read.
1. On 29 October we did a news search on McCain.
These were typical top stories:
Economy Among Issues Leading Some Veterans Away From McCain Pro-Obama
Some Republicans Lukewarm On A McCain Victory Pro-Obama
McCain’s goodlooking liability Pro-Obama
McCain campaign an avoidable disaster Pro-Obama
US women unmoved by McCain Pro-Obama
McCain Economic Plan a Winner, Even If He Loses Pro-McCain
The majority of the news stories that came up were anti-McCain and pro-Obama.
Thus the faction which controls the CIA at present apparently wants us to vote for Obama.
2. On 29 October 2008, we did a Google News search on the Scottish National Party (SNP), who are trying to win a by-election.
These are the sort of items given prominence.
Oil platforms are ‘falling apart’ Anti-SNP
Salmond left without pledge on HBOS jobs at Lloyds meeting Anti-SNP
Chancellor Alistair Darling blasts 'ridiculous' SNP income tax plans Anti-SNP
SNP's tax plans still unfair Anti-SNP
The CIA, MI5 and their friends apparently want to defeat the SNP.

Lots and lots of oil and gas and alternative energy!
According to Scottish Development International (Energy in Scotland – Key Facts about the Industry):
1. There are an estimated 920 million tonnes of recoverable crude oil remaining in North Sea oil fields.
2. Scotland is Europe's leading offshore gas producer, with most of its reserves being found offshore in the North Sea.
3. Scotland has the potential to generate 59.1 GW of power through renewable energy, with the prospect of becoming a major exporter of sustainable energy.
4. Scotland’s gas fields contain a maximum remaining reserve of 1330 billion cubic metres (bcm).

5. The Scottish oil and gas industry supports 100,000 jobs, with almost 3,000 service and supply companies active in more than 40 countries worldwide.
6. As many of the world's unexplored oil fields lie under very deep water, Scotland's expertise in subsea technology will continue to grow in importance.
7. Some Scottish oil fields have been discovered relatively recently and are at an early stage of their productive life.
8. Of the 500 exploration rigs in the world, 75 are to be found in the North Sea.
Energy in Scotland – Key Facts about the Industry
9. The amount of fuel still left in the (North Sea) oilfields could be the equivalent of all that has been extracted since they were first exploited in the 1970s;
enough to last another 44 years.
North Sea could see second oil boom due to huge unexplored reserves.
A typical Scottish house of the future. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Emirates_Palace_Hotel_Abu_Dhabi_front.jpg)
There is a lot of oil left in the North Sea, much more than most people think.
"Untapped North Sea oil reserves far exceed industry estimates... according to geological experts.
"Industry experts now believe that the remaining reserves exceed current estimates by as much as a fifth." - North Sea oil reserves could be a fifth higher
The Scottish Government points out that in recent months oil has produced an additional North Sea tax bonanza of at least £4.3 billion. - Scotland wants share of oil tax
Scotland would be the third richest country in Europe if it was independent.
"Ultimately, Salmond hopes that an independent Scotland would receive a 90% share of North Sea oil revenues, making it one of Europe’s richest countries with an annual budget surplus of more than £4 billion." - Alex Salmond demands £1.5bn oil cash
Tidal electricity generator awaiting installation. en.wikipedia.org/
Scotland should become the richest country in the world, if it is independent.
The Sunday Times in Scotland,( Huge tidal power plan for Scotland - Times Online), 28 September 2008, tells us:
1. Enough TIDAL POWER could be generated off Scotland's north coast to produce 25 gigawatts of energy.
2. That is FOUR TIMES what Scotland uses at present.
3. Surplus power could be sold to England and Europe.
4. The Pentland Firth, between Scotland and Orkney, is a perfect site for what could be the world's biggest tidal energy 'farm'.
5. Scotland could produce 25% of Europe’s tidal power and 10% of its wave power.
Scotland has oil (at least half the oil is still to come) and it has wind and wave power.
And, more than 1000 new hydro-electric power stations may be built in Scotland in the next few years years according to Scottish Government advisers. ( Scotland may have a thousand more hydro sites)
Above Loch Ness, the £150m Glendoe hydro-electric scheme is nearing completion.
Scottish and Southern Energy's Glendoe project will be capable of generating 100mw of power, enough to power Glasgow.
Glendoe will be the second largest hydro scheme out of the 80 already in Scotland.
Most were built in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

OBAMA, THE CONGO, MINERAL WEALTH, WAR
Photo by foto_morgana : http://www.flickr.com/photos/devriese/sets/72157594519310903/ © All rights reservedKeith Harmon Snow, 9 February 2008, produced an article (Dissident Voice : Gertler’s Bling Bang Torah Gang) which makes the following points:
Maurice Templesman is one of the top funders of Barrack Obama.
Families like Templesman, Oppenheimer, Gertler and Steinmetz are associated with mining companies in the Congo.
In 2007 there was fighting in the Congo between Jean-Pierre Bemba and Joseph Kabila. Each wanted to be the one who could make money from deals with the mining companies.
Most ordinary Congolese earn less than a dollar a day and any attempts at strikes are likely to be put down with violence.
Templesman According to an article at CorpWatch, 25 April 2001, CorpWatch : Africa: U.S. Covert Action Exposed :
Declassified memos and cables between former U.S. presidents and State Department officials over the last four decades named Mr. Tempelsman with direct input in the destabilization of Congo, Sierra Leone, Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Rwanda and Ghana.
He earned his stripes with western powers in the overthrow of Ghana's first elected president, Kwame Nkrumah, and the CIA-backed assassination of Congo's first-elected president, Patrice Lumumba, documents reveal.
As late as 1997, Mr. Tempelsman was named in the ongoing cover-up of U.S.-CIA covert support of the former president of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo [DRC]), Mobuto Sese Seko, who died in exile in 1997 after the overthrow of his regime by recently assassinated Congolese President Laurent Kabila.
Mr. Tempelsman is named as the agent in charge of selling off the gross excess of the strategic diamond stockpile in the United States that was used to fund the deceased dictator's exploits.
Congo - with Rwanda to the right (RW)Who is going to get the Congo's mineral wealth, which includes everything from oil to gold?
1. "Eastern Congo's brutal conflict is a result of... a scramble for the region's mineral wealth...
"Cobalt, copper, diamonds, gold, silver, tin and coltan, the essential ingredient of cell phones, make Congo one of Africa's most mineral-rich countries."
2. "French oil company Total said (28 October 2008) that it was considering exploiting tar sands in the... Congo, where it is the chief oil and gas producer...
"The Italian oil company ENI in May signed a deal with Congo to exploit the tar sands at Tchikatanga and Tchikatanga-Makola in the south, estimated to hold reserves of between 500 million and 2.5 billion barrels. " (French oil giant mulls exploiting Congo tar sands)
3. "Congolese rebels continued their march toward the regional capital of Goma on Tuesday (28 October 2008), driving panicky Army soldiers and tens of thousands of displaced civilians out onto the muddy roads ahead of them." (Congo rebels push toward key city)
Kinshasa4. "The roots of Congo's instability trace back to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which hundreds of thousands of minority Tutsis were slaughtered. Tutsi rebels from Rwanda then overthrew the Hutu-dominated Rwandan government in an ensuing civil war, forcing millions of Hutus to flee to Congo...
"Rwanda invaded Congo twice in an effort to rout the Rwandan Hutu extremists, first in a 1996-1997 war, and again in a 1998-2002 war. Many accused Rwanda of getting sidetracked, however, in pursuit of diamonds, gold and other minerals.
"Since 1994, Congo's civil war and tribal conflicts have left some 4 million people dead through fighting, famine or disease." (Congo's violence tied to 1994 Rwandan genocide)
5. "The former French president François Mitterrand supported the perpetrators of the 1994 Rwandan genocide despite clear warnings that mass killings of the Tutsi population were being orchestrated, according to declassified French documents.
"The publication of the documents in today's Le Monde for the first time confirms long-held suspicions against France. The previously secret diplomatic telegrams and government memos also suggest the late French president was obsessed with the danger of "Anglo-Saxon" influence gripping Rwanda." (The Independent)
6. Around Lubumbashi there is a lot of copper, coltan and zinc.
It is being processed by a joint venture between the state mining company, the George Forrest Group (a Belgian-Congolese conglomerate) and the American OM Group.
"In 2002, a UN panel recommended that 29 companies - including the George Forrest Group - face sanctions for their operations in DR Congo.
"The panel's report accused the George Forrest Group of running its mineral operations in a way that took as much profit as possible out of the country, while bringing minimal benefit to DR Congo." (BBC Cached)

Overcoming Media Terrorism
"Power and Lies" - the truth comes rather late.The mainstream media tends to tell lies about those countries which have valuable oil and gas reserves which the US and its allies want to control.
Think of countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Russia and even Canada and Scotland.
Reportedly, the US government would like to exercise a large degree of control over Canada.
In the case of Scotland, the mainstream media tells us that Scotland cannot survive if it becomes independent.
We are told that the SNP (Scottish National Party) is linked to Moslem terrorists; and is incapable of saving the banks.
Viva ChavezVenezuela has an answer to the problem of the corrupt, CIA-controlled media.
On 25 October 2008, at http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/, we read that Venezuela Launches a Campaign to Overcome “Media Terrorism”.
Venezuela's Communication and Information Minister is Andrés Izarra.
Izarra has introduced a campaign to tell Venezuelans about the achievements of Venezuela's "Bolivarian Revolution" and counter what Izarra called the "media terrorism" waged by the corporate-controlled media against the administration of President Hugo Chávez.
Izarra"We are launching an effort to break through the media siege, and to bring to light the true Venezuela, where good-hearted people are people working to improve the health, culture, and welfare of all Venezuelans, for a Venezuela of faith and hope," Izarra declared.
The project, named Venezuela de Verdad (True Venezuela), will be an "avalanche" of information meant to prepare Venezuelans to see through the "constant media manipulation and dirty propaganda" by opposition groups, said Izarra.
The campaign will include a widely-distributed, short book that documents the government's social programs, promotion of "oil sovereignty," and other achievements over the past decade since Chávez was elected.
As an example of false opposition claims, Izarra pointed out the advertisements funded by opposition groups that say the government plans to seize private property of Venezuelan citizens, issue food rationing cards across the country, and that the Cuban doctors who work in government-funded free community health clinics are actually spies.
Regarding private property, the minister said the government has helped the poor and middle classes to obtain, for the first time ever, their own homes and small and medium-sized businesses, and he pointed out that the government has paid indemnity for all property it has nationalized from transnational companies, in accordance with the national constitution.

The CIA, Abu Nidal and Lockerbie
Abu Nidal
1. Abu Nidal reportedly worked for the CIA and Mossad.
(Abu Nidal reportedly worked for the CIA and MOSSAD...)
Reportedly, Abu Nidal may have played a part in the Lockerbie Bombing.
Abu Nidal's organisation has worked with the PFLP-GC (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - general Command)
Jibril
2. Reportedly Ahmed Jibril (founder and leader of the PFLP-GC) had a base near Frankfort.
Reportedly, Jibril had links to alleged drugs dealer al-Kassar, who allegedly was working with the CIA in smuggling drugs into the USA on PanAm flights.
Reportedly the maker of the Lockerbie bomb was Marwan Kreesat (Khreeshat). Bomb maker Marwan Abdel Razzack Khreesat was part of Jibril’s cell.
On 26 October 1988, Khreesat was arrested and one of his bombs seized.
Then Khreesat was mysteriously released. [1009]
Former CIA agent Oswald Le Winter stated, "…pressure had come from Bonn… from the U.S. Embassy in Bonn… to release Khreesat." [1010]
Reportedly, Khreesat worked for U.S. intelligence. [1011]
Allegedly, one of Khreesat's bombs was used to bring down Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie.
3. Former UK Labour MP Tam Dalyell and Edinburgh law professor Robert Black have urged the Scottish and UK governments to answer reports that Abu Nidal was a US agent.
"They have long believed Abu Nidal, who died in Iraq in 2002, and his Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command were responsible for co-ordinating the bomb that blew up Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie on 21 December, 1988 with the loss of 270 lives."
Intelligence reports, said to have been drawn up for Saddam Hussein's security services, said Kuwaitis had asked Abu Nidal, to do work for them in Iraq.
"The reports referred to Abu Nidal's 'collusion with both the American and Kuwaiti intelligence apparatuses in co-ordination with Egyptian intelligence'." - (Was Lockerbie suspect working for US? - News)
4. "Lockerbie campaigners have urged the UK Government to press Washington over claims that a now-dead terrorist leader was an American spy.
"Former Labour MP Tam Dalyell and Edinburgh law professor Robert Black said the claims should also be investigated by prosecution authorities in Scotland."
"The claims that Abu Nidal was working for the Americans would explain some of the mysteries that surround the Lockerbie outrage, they said." - Lockerbie campaigners seek answers

Operation Rose
Newcastle in the UKOPERATION Rose was one of the UK's biggest investigations into sexual and physical child abuse.
"The inquiry was launched in August 1997 when a woman in her 20s disclosed to a social worker that she and a friend had been both sexually and physically abused as children while living in a children's home in the Northumbria Police area."
An investigation was launched, centring on council-run care homes in the North-East and stemming from initial allegations in Newcastle and Northumberland.
Brian Clare, 33, of Grindon, has vowed to continue his 18-year battle to secure "justice" for youngsters who claim they were physically and sexually abused at the city's now-demolished Witherwack House and other care homes. - operation rose
"The same member of staff also abused me sexually. He had previously been a priest...
"I was also sexually assaulted by a male member of staff who later became involved with child protection. He informed me that he would single me out for punishment The forms of punishment employed by the staff at Witherwack House included restraint techniques.
"On one occasion my arm was held up my back so badly my shoulder blade needed medical treatment. My thumb would be bent backwards. until it touched my forearm. This was done at least daily and was extremely painful. I suffer from epilepsy and I believe this was caused by my head being hit of objects. This was not reasonable punishment and force being used - this was evil.
"I often heard screams of other residents being abused.
"Indeed I witnessed a rape of a girl who was eight or nine at the time - I tried to intervene but I was beaten senseless for my trouble...
"I believe that the Director of Social Services was fully aware of the abuse that went on as was the Assistant Director of Social Services." - my story

What was said on Corfu.
Posted to Flickr as Metzes. Author Unai Guerra
Back in August, we had an interesting meze dinner at the Taverna A.
You probably know this place, which is in a small bay on the north coast of Corfu.
Eleni produced crispy courgettes, prawn saganaki, stifado and lots of other tasty things to go with the red wine.
We said our 'hellos' to Rupert, George and all the others. We thought we recognised Lord W. and Ben S.
As we supped our humus, an interesting question was asked.
"How come," asked Peter, "that planet Earth got all the good stuff?"
"What do you mean?" asked Elizabeth.
"Aluminium?" asked Mr D.
http://en.wikipedia.corfu_town.jpg/
"What I mean," said Peter, "is why has the Earth got just the right amount of sulphur, phosphorous and so on to make living things?"
"And just the right amount of heat and light," said George.
"And the water," added Rupert, as he stuck his fork into some octopus like thing. "The Earth has water."
"And the other planets just don't have the right stuff," said Peter.
"It's as if there was some kind of intelligence involved," said Elizabeth.
"The really big question," said Mr P, "is how the chemicals became life?"
"There's a lot we don't know," said Andrew.
"Babies," said Elizabeth. "When do they suddenly become conscious? Maybe their consciousness exists outside their bodies."
"I've thought about that," said Mr D. "The Earth has been around for a few billion years. But homo erectus only appeared about one or two million years ago. So where was consciousness before men came along?"

Washington Post warns of false flag operation?
Osama's friend? Obama's friend?On 25 October 2008, we read in The Washington Post that the US Military Prepares for Threats During Presidential Transition
Senior military officials and national security experts claim major threats before and after the elections include:
1. An al-Qaida strike on the United States that would originate from Pakistan's tribal areas
2. Terrorist attack involving nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.
"With the election, the economic issues and what is going on in Pakistan and Afghanistan, all this converging at once, it makes a pretty enticing target for al-Qaida to consider disrupting U.S. national security interests in the short term," said John Rollins, a terrorism expert at the Congressional Research Service.
A. In 1993, the first World Trade Center bombing took place just after President Bill Clinton's inauguration;
B. In 2001, the 9 11 attacks, took place within the first eight months of the Bush administration.
C. In 2004, the Madrid train bombings came just before elections in Spain.
D. In 2007, the Glasgow airport attack and discovery of the London car-bomb plot in 2007 came just after Gordon Brown became UK prime minister.
According to Rollins, the aims of such an attack could include swaying the election, testing a new administration and demonstrating a continued ability to attack U.S. interests at will.
Obama might need a false flag CIA-organised terror event in order to launch the new Cold War.
What is the USA to do about Russia, China and India?
The New Cold War may be fought in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, which are in the neighbourhood of Russia, China and India.
Michel Chossudovsky, at Global Research, 29 August 2008, wrote about Obama-Biden and The "New Cold War" (The Democrats endorse the "Global War on Terrorism".)
According to Professor Chossudovsky:
"The Obama-Biden campaign is committed to reinforcing the US-NATO military presence on the Iran-Afghan border, as well as on Afghanistan's border with China's Xinjiang Uigur autonomous region as well as within Pakistan.
1. "Afghanistan is a strategic hub in Central Asia bordering on Iran, the former Soviet Union, China and Pakistan.
2. "It is a land bridge and potential oil and gas pipeline corridor which links the Caspian sea basin to the Arabian sea.
3. "It is also part of the continued process of militarization and encirclement of the People's Republic of China.
"The Obama-Biden campaign has ... endorsed the "New Cold War".
"Russia is explicitly identified in Obama's speech as an Aggressor.
"Iran is identified as nuclear threat, despite ample evidence to the contrary.
"Joe Biden, who if elected, would take over from Dick Cheney, considers Russia, China and India as the main threat to America's National Security."

According to an article at Wikipedia:
Proceso newsmagazine, claiming a high-level military source, said Isaac Pérez Recao participated in, and helped finance, the coup against Chávez, and controlled a "right-wing extremist" group that was "well armed ... under the operations command of Rear Adm. Carlos Molina Tamayo" who was put in charge of Carmona’s military ministry.
The article says Recao's group "was connected to a security company owned by former Mossad agents",[4] and that Marcelo Sarabia, Carmona's bodyguard, was linked to several security organizations, one of which was one run by Mossad.[4]

Abu Nidal reportedly worked for the CIA and MOSSAD
Abu Nidal.Robert Fisk, in The Independent, 25 October 2008, tells us about Abu Nidal.
Reportedly, Abu Nidal, was a spy for the USA.
Documents which are now in the hands of The Independent (Abu Nidal, notorious Palestinian mercenary, 'was a US spy'), written by Saddam Hussein's security services, state that Nidal had been "colluding" with the Americans and, with the help of the Egyptians and Kuwaitis, was trying to manufacture evidence linking Saddam and al-Qa'ida.
In 1974, Abu Nidal set up Fatah, thus weakening Arafat's PLO. This worked in the interests of Israel.
(Abu Nidal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
A former senior Jordanian intelligence officer said: "Scratch around inside Abu Nidal's organization and you will find Mossad." (The Truth Seeker - Abu Nidal - Mossad terrorist)
Backing up these reports was a former member of Abu Nidal's own Justice Committee, who told Seale that Mossad agents captured by Abu Nidal were usually killed very quickly to prevent them from confessing their true motives.
Abu Iyad, former chief of PLO Intelligence, added, "Every Palestinian who works in intelligence is convinced that Israel has a big hand in Abu Nidal's affairs." (Abu Nidal - Mossad terrorist)
Abu Nidal's attacks included:
*1978 His "Black June" movement blamed for murdering PLO members in London, Paris, Madrid, Brussels, Kuwait and Rome.
*1984 Jordanian airliner attacked by rocket on take-off from Athens.
*1985 Egyptian airliner hijacked – six passengers murdered and 60 killed when the plane is stormed by Egyptian commandos.
*1986 At least 20 passengers and crew are killed when Pan Am jet hijacked in Karachi.
*1988 Nine killed and 98 wounded when gunmenattack the Greek cruise ship the City of Poros.
Obama and the elite oligarchy
"Some... believe that Obama is exactly what the elite oligarchy wants because he can appear to the the public to be the force of change and the opposite of what Bush represents, when in reality he will enable the globalists to continue their new world order agenda.
"Obama is a high-profile politician and lying goes with the territory. He wouldnt be where he is today if he didn't have the ability to lie convincingly and to cosy up to the globalist stringpullers.
"And he wouldn't be where he is today if he wasn't working for the same team that is controlling Bush, McCain, Clinton, and all the other CFR stooges.
"So it looks as though we basically have a choice between two guys who will both continue along the same path we have been on for the last 8 years. If we want to get off the new world order fairground ride they have put us on, we must stop voting for the main two candidates in any election.
"We can vote for another candidate or write 'None of the Above' on our ballot paper. Even if only 10% of people did this, it would have a massive impact in waking people up to the situation we're in, and it would be enough to worry the elite and make them well aware that we are on to them."

Debate Flares Over Israel’s Access to American Secrets
~~~
Friday, October 24, 2008
OBAMA, McCAIN, OSAMA; Dominic Lawson might know who is to be the next president of the USA.
Dominic Lawson (news.bbc.m)
Dominic Lawson might know who is to be the next president of the USA.
Former spy Richard Tomlinson wrote that journalist Dominic Lawson worked for Britain's spy service MI6 and that his MI6 identity was "Smallbrow". ("Editor 'provided cover for spies'", Guardian, 26 January 2001.)
Dominic Lawson was born into an influential Jewish family.
Lawson is married to the The Honourable Rosamond Mary Monckton, who was 'close' to Lady Diana.
Rosa’s brother, the Honourable Anthony Monckton, a diplomat, has also been an MI6 spy according to Tomlinson.
Reportedly, Anthony and Rosa’s grandfather worked for Edward VIII and kept a close watch on him for the security services. (MI6 & The Lying Game: Rosa Monckton and the Oxbridge spooks.)
In the Independent, Dominic Lawson, on 24 October 2008, wrote an article entitled: One election player has been overlooked: Osama bin Laden.
This article may provide clues as to who a certain group within the CIA and the Pentagon will try to put into power in the USA.
Lawson reminds us that in 2004, "Four days before that election, Al Jazeera broadcast a video tape in which America's most wanted finally took responsibility for the World Trade Centre attacks – and also ridiculed President Bush's response on the day."
According to Professor Joseph Nye of Harvard: "In the first poll after that tape was released, President George W Bush opened up a six-point lead over Senator John Kerry."
If we assume that the Al Jazeera tape was made by the CIA, then we can assume that the CIA, or a faction within the CIA, was backing Bush.
On 22 October 2008, we read that so called al Qaeda supporters want John McCain to win, so as to weaken America. (Al-Qaeda Hails Financial Crisis)
Image from JackBlood.com Home Page
Lawson writes about what now to expect:
"We should indeed expect a bin Laden tape criticising John McCain, cunningly designed to cause Americans to reject Barack Obama instead.
"In that case, they must also accept the corollary: that if no such tape is sent to Al Jazeera, it would suggest that bin Laden really prefers that Obama became President.
"This, however, will be a difficult proposition for them to take on board; it would mean in turn that bin Laden and those who advise him are more worried by the prospect of a continuation of the policies pursued by George W Bush and are desperately anxious for a President who might take the military heat off them.
"The most recent authenticated leak of correspondence between the al-Qa'ida leadership suggests that their lives are not a bundle of joy, after seven years on the run.
"A December 2005 letter from Atiyah Abd al-Rahman to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi conceded that bin Laden and his colleagues are 'weak' and 'have many of their own problems'.
"On this analysis, bin Laden is a marginalised figure of exaggerated importance (as well as self-importance).
"After all, who could have believed that in the seven years after the outrages of 9/11, al-Qa'ida would have been unable to launch a single follow-up attack on the American mainland?
"That might be attributed in part to the security measures undertaken by the Bush administration, but it also reveals a complete inability on al-Qa'ida's part to recruit successfully in the heartland of their chosen enemy."
So, the Jewish Dominic Lawson appears to think that Bush has been successful against al Qaeda.
And he's hoping McCain will win?
And what might a certain faction within the CIA and Pentagon think about Obama?
Photo by David Shankbone
On 1 February 2008, we read in Mother Jones (Obama's Israel Shuffle)
"The suspicion of pro-Israel advocates for Obama was most recently captured in a January 23 Jerusalem Post op-ed in which Danny Ayalon, the former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., called the senator's candidacy cause for 'some degree of concern.'
"A memo by a top official at the American Jewish Committee, recently leaked to the Jewish Daily Forward, neatly outlined the roots of this concern: In the late 1990s Obama reportedly called for an even-handed approach to the conflict; his pastor had praised Louis Farrakhan; he has called for diplomacy with Iran; and, of course, he was once photographed breaking bread with the late Palestinian-American academic Edward Said."
Mullen
However, there is a powerful faction within the Pentagon and CIA that appears to support Obama.

Montenegro, linked to the Mafia and top people

Montenegro and its Prime Minister Milo Đukanović allegedly have links to various Mafias.
Nat Rothschild, UK government minister Lord Mandelson and Russian billionaire Mr Deripaska reportedly have links to Montenegro.
Montenegro's Dukanovic
1. Wikipedia (Cached) tells us:
According to a 1997 report by the Guardia di Finanza, Montenegro is part of a smuggling group divided among various crime families connected to the Sicilian mafia, Camorra and Sacra corona unita. [5]
Various reports implicate Đukanović in doing business with different Mafia bosses like Neapolitan Camorra's Ciro Mazzarella who was arrested in 1993 in Lugano.[6]
Since then, other mafia figures like Francesco Prudentino, Gerardo Cuomo, Filippo Messina operated out of Montenegro closely tied to Đukanović's government.[7]
In 1996, Italy's Anti-mafia Investigative Agency taped a telephone conversation between Cuomo and Santo Vantaggiato, a fugitive from Italian law hiding in Montenegro. The two men were discussing the election in Montenegro, and Cuomo boasted that he was close to senior Montenegrin politicians. [8]
In July 2003, the prosecutor's office in Naples named Đukanović as a linchpin in the illicit trade which used Montenegro as a transit point for smuggling millions of cigarettes across the Adriatic sea into Italy and into the hands of the Italian mafia for distribution across the EU.[7]

2. The Daily Mail, 24 October 2008, tells us:
"Lord Mandelson is facing scrutiny of his championing of the tiny Adriatic nation of Montenegro as a world trading partner. Aluminium tycoon Mr Deripaska has invested heavily in the country...
"Financier Nat Rothschild... also has interests there.
"Mr Rothschild, Mr Deripaska and other investors want to turn a bay in Montenegro into a £5billion haven for the super-rich...
"It emerged that Lord Mandelson had been seen with Mr Deripaska at a Moscow restaurant in 2004, after being appointed EU trade commissioner - but before taking up the post...
"In December 2005 Lord Mandelson signed off a decision to remove punitive EU aluminium tariffs that benefited the Russian's business." - Mandelson to face questions over links to Russian tycoon and plans for a £5bn super-rich haven in Montenegro

"Does the name Dr David Kelly mean anything to you?...
"You came to lower import tariffs on aluminium while at the same time enjoying the hospitality most extensive at the expense of our host, who par coincidence just happens to be the biggest aluminium baron in Russia. ...

BALLS, SEX AND NAZIS

The Daily Mail news paper , 26 September 2008, showed Ed Balls, UK Secretary of State for Children, wearing a Nazi uniform.
On 23 October 2008, we learn that Balls wants children as young as five to learn more about sex while they are in school.
Balls was privately educated, at Nottingham High School.
Britain has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in western Europe.
Will more young children now be getting themselves interested in "bow-chika-bow-wow"
Young women in deprived areas are up to five times more likely to become teenage mothers.
Britain, under Labour, has lots of very deprived areas.
(Britain’s Troubled Youth / Teenage pregnancy rate alarm)
Children are to be imprisoned in horrid schools until age 18
Balls aims to make it compulsory for kids to stay in school until age 18.
Balls is member of parliament for the West Yorkshire constituency of Normanton. In March 2007 he was selected to be the Labour Party candidate for the new Morley and Outwood constituency, which contains part of the abolished Normanton constituency.
According to Wikipedia:
In September 2007, with his wife Yvette Cooper, he was accused of "breaking the spirit of Commons rules" [12] by using MPs' allowances to help pay for a £655,000 home in north London.
It was alleged that they bought a four-bed house in Stoke Newington, north London, and registered this as their second home (rather than their home in Castleford, West Yorkshire) in order to qualify for up to £44,000 a year to subsidise a reported £438,000 mortgage under the Commons Additional Costs Allowance.
This is despite both spouses working in London full-time and their children attending local London schools.

All of which resembles India in the 1990s, when reforms kick-started a potentially massive economy—though outsiders barely noticed until the IT sector took off and growth passed 8 percent.
"In Indonesia, the key sectors are energy, mining and soft commodities like rubber, palm oil and cocoa...

This article told us about the CIA and the Vatican.
A lot of important people have been Knights of Malta, members the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM)
Gehlen worked for Hitler and then the CIA.
In 1948, the Knights of Malta gave one of its highest awards to General Reinhard Gehlen, Adolf Hitler's chief anti-Soviet spy.
Gehlen's Nazi spy network joined up with the CIA after World War II.
The Knights of Malta gave an award to James Jesus Angleton of the CIA.
According to State Department documents, Angleton decided to give money to an organisation called Catholic Action and use it to help the right-wing win elections in Italy.
The USA has its Knights of Malta, some of whom have used their influence to promote right-wing causes in South America.
Cardinal Spellman, also known as Franny, was reportedly gay and a friend of the CIA. (Cardinal Spellman)
During the 1950s and the early 1960s, the main link between the U.S. and the Vatican was Cardinal Spellman, a supporter of U. S. military involvement in Vietnam.
John XXIII 1958-63, a friend of Liberation Theology
In the early 1960s, Pope John XXIII began to liberalize the church and talk to the communists.
In 1963, John McCone, who was director of the CIA and a Knight of Malta, took an interest in what was happening.
John XXIII died in 1963.
Pope Paul VI, 1963-78
The CIA apparently knew in advance that Giovanni Cardinal Montini of Milan would become Pope Paul VI.
During World War II, Montini had passed information to the OSS, which became the CIA.
However, Pope Paul VI appointed 'socially conscious' bishops and opposed South American military dictatorships. This may have been calculated to stop the spread of support for people like Cuba's Castro.
Paul VI died in 1978.
John Paul I 1978
In 1977, the CIA had its eye on the Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Krakow, an anti-communist figure. Cardinal Cooke, a Knight of Malta, met Wojtyla for a long chat in 1977.
John Paul I became Pope but died after a month in office. There was a strong belief that he had been murdered.
In October 1978, the CIA's friend Karol Wojtyla became Pope John Paul II.
John Paul II, right-wing Polish Pope, 1978-2005
In Argentina, in the 1970s, while Paul VI was Pope, Father Patrick Rice was subjected to water torture by agents of the Argentinian government.
During a period of 15 years, 1,500 priests, nuns and bishops were murdered, imprisoned, tortured or expelled from Latin America.
According to father Rice, "Any Christian who defends the poor can expect to be persecuted and mistreated by the security police."
In 1968 a meeting of South American bishops had called upon the church to defend the rights of the oppressed and the poor.
Some priests opposed the U.S.-backed fascist regimes.
In 1980, in El Salvador, Bishop Oscar Romero was assassinated by a fascist group headed by major Roberto D'Aubuisson, who has been linked to the CIA. John Paul II, from Poland, was pope at the time.
Maura Clarke, Ita Ford and Dorothy Kazel were American Nuns murdered by fascists in El Salvador in 1980. John Paul II, from Poland, was pope at the time.
The CIA campaigned against the priests who supported the poor and campaigned in favour of the priests who supported the fascists.
Penny Lernoux, in her book 'Cry of the People', relates how the CIA used right-wing Catholic organizations in Latin America to attack reformers.
The CIA trained and financed the fascists.
In 1975, the Bolivian Interior Ministry, closely linked to the CIA, set up the "Banzer Plan, which was adopted by ten Latin American governments. This plan aimed to destabilize and defeat priests who supported the poor.
The Catholic Church's Opus Dei attacked those who supported the poor.
John Roche, a professor at Oxford University in England, broke his oath of secrecy after leaving the Opus Dei. Roche described Opus Dei as "totalitarian" and "fascist".
In the latter days of the fascist Franco regime, ten out of 19 cabinet officers belonged to or were closely allied with Opus Dei.
American Knights of Malta such as William Simon (Citicorp) and Francis X. Stankard (Chase Manhattan Bank) have spoken at Opus Dei meetings.
Opus Dei HQ in the USA Opus Dei-HQ.
In Chile, Opus Dei sought support from Chilean bishops for the overthrow of President Salvador Allende. In Chile, Opus Dei worked closely with CIA-funded groups which later merged with the Chilean secret police.
Opus Dei helped install John Paul II, the man from Poland.
John Paul II made Opus Dei a "personal prelature."
John Paul II made Alfonso Lopez Trujillo a cardinal.
Lopez Trujillo was a Colombian sympathizer with Opus Dei and an opponent of liberation theology.
One of Lopez Trujillo's closest aides was Roger Vekemans, a Belgian priest. Vekemans received around $5 million from the CIA in the 1960s, and this was given to right-wing organizations in Chile.
The CIA's Vernon Walters
In 1982, President Reagan sent General Vernon Walters, a Catholic and a former deputy director of the CIA, to meet withthe Polish pope, John Paul II.
Walters was involved in the CIA coups in Iran, 1953, Brazil, 1964, and Chile, 1973. (CIA Meddling in Latin America - 1954 to 2002)
Walters played an important role in organizing the CIA-backed Nicaraguan exile groups based in Honduras who were seeking to overthrow the Sandinista government.
Soon after Walters had visited John Paul II, the pope demanded that five priests in the Nicaraguan government resign from office.
In 1983, John Paul II visited Nicaragua and appeared to condemn the Sandanistas, thus appearing to support the fascists.

After Obama is elected, expect 'privation on a global scale'?
Kurt Nimmo, at Infowars (Biden’s Admonition: Plebs to Suffer if Obama is Elected ), 20 October 2008, suggests what will happen after the USA has elected a new president, presumedly Obama.
Kurt tells us:
"The global elite are deliberately tanking the economy worldwide in an effort to consolidate their hold and wealth...
"This will result in unimaginable privation on a global scale...
"The global elite are anxious to confront Russia and this will figure prominently on Obama’s agenda, especially with the notorious russophobe Zbigniew Brzezinski in control of Obama’s foreign policy.
According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, on 18 October 2008: "Powerful generals and admirals from some of the most powerful nations on Earth are reportedly meeting somewhere in the local area this weekend after flying into the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear..."
Kurt refers to the fact that European Military Leaders Have Descended On Upstate New York.
Kurt suggests there may be an engineered destruction of the global economy.
He writes: "In 2000 ... the CFR 'war-gamed' just such a scenario."
The CFR is the Council on Foreign Relations, which is linked to the Rockefellers. Reportedly, Michelle Obama is on the Board of Directors in the Chicago branch of the CFR.
Richard Freeman wrote: "The simulation confirms that… the highest levels of the financier oligarchy are making preparations for something that may be quite different than unlimited prosperity."
Kurt writes: "Is it possible the top brass from the U.S. and Europe met to formulate a martial law contingency plan in response to the rapidly deteriorating economy? An increasing number of economists are now reporting the coming economic crash will rival the Great Depression."

UK prime minister Gordon Brown is the cause of the UK's money problems.
Video - 1992
UK prime minister Gordon Brown is the cause of the UK's money problems.
In recent years, Gordon Brown has:
1. Scorned demands for tighter regulation of banks and the economy. (Be wary of bull market in Browns)
2. Ridiculed the German government for worrying about highly leveraged hedge funds.
3. Ignored warnings from the IMF that Britain risked a credit and housing bust.
Now the UK is having to borrow a lot of money.
According to the Financial Times, 21 October 2008, the UK government borrowed an extra £37.6bn in the first half of the year.
This half-year borrowing figure is the highest since the second world war.
And the situation is expected to get worse as the economy weakens and tax revenues decline. (Brown set to borrow more)
And Gordon Brown has outraged shareholders of Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland (HBOS) by arranging a most unsuitable merger.
Mr David McLachlan, in a letter to the Financial Times, 21 October 2008, writes:
"Lloyds TSB has never needed to be rescued – it has a sound business model, is conservatively funded, and is highly profitable and well able to withstand the current recession... If... the takeover of HBOS proceeds... then a very substantial amount of the value in Lloyds TSB will have been transferred needlessly, and arguably illegally, from existing shareholders to the government." - Outraged Lloyds shareholder not alone
The purpose of the merger seems to be political - to help to damage the Scottish economy and frustrate the nationalists.
Gordon Brown is not the first UK politician to get into financial difficulties.
Anthony Barber, in the early 1970s, liberalised the banking system and this contributed to boom followed by bust.
Nigel Lawson, in the 1980s, produced tax cuts which led to a housing bubble which eventually burst.

PALACES, DEBT AND TAX
A palace.
If you travel around certain countries you will find lots of palatial houses.
Certain people have made lots of money from what appears to be various kinds of jiggery pokery.
The ordinary citizen finds that taxes go up and prices go up and savings disappear.
And who is going to lend the money to governments that are heavily in debt?
The countries in the worst position are the USA and UK.
Are countries like China and Russia going to lend to this man?
Are countries like Norway and Ireland going to lend to this man? Will Scotland hand over its oil wealth?

IS SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE STONE DEAD?
The Times, on 19 October 2008, asked "Is Scottish independence stone dead?"
Is Scottish independence stone dead? - Times Online
There is to be a by-election in Glenrothes in Scotland and it might seal the fate of Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister.
“I’ve always voted Labour but I've decided I’ve had enough of them,” says Mr George Smiley Fulton, a former government employee who has worked in Saigon, East Berlin and Washington.
“The Scottish National Party seem the only alternative.
"Given what’s happened with Labour wrecking the economy, I’m sure I'll vote SNP.
"If Ireland and Norway and even Singapore can rescue their banks, then so can Scotland.”
Labour’s own private polling shows that the Nationalists will finish 5,000 votes ahead.
Gordon Brown, the prime minister in London, does not have the money to help the Bank of Scotland.
He will have to borrow the money.
The UK budget deficit may soon climb to at least 92 billion pounds ($159 billion).
An independent Scotland, in a worst case scenario, would have a deficit that was very tiny in comparison.
When oil prices rise again, Scotland will have a huge surplus.
Scotland, with its oil wealth, could, if independent, borrow the money needed for the banks.
At the recent SNP conference, companies such as Coca-Cola, trade unions and media groups all jockeyed for position.
SNP membership and donations are on the rise.
An independent Scotland could produce a fund from North Sea oil revenues to shelter the country in times of trouble. Norway has a fund of £200 billion.
According to SNP leader Alex Salmond:
“All countries, large and small, are affected by this.”
“The prime minister keeps saying it originated in the United States. Seventeen financial institutions have failed in the United States, the largest economy in the world. For unionists to say this is something just affecting small countries is daft.
“And to besmirch the reputation of Norway and Ireland to try and get a point against the SNP . . . it used to be that unionists only ran down Scotland, but now they are busy running down other countries as well.”
Iceland, said Salmond, had “very particular problems” and a population only half the size of Glasgow, while Norway was among the best-placed countries in Europe to get through these turbulent times, and Ireland was moving into recession at a point where it was 40% more prosperous per head than the UK, and would probably emerge with a similar margin.
Finland, Denmark and Norway were all forecast to avoid recession, while Ireland had taken early action to stabilise its banking sector.
“By my reckoning that gives us three countries that will do better than the UK, one which has very similar problems to the UK and Ireland, and Iceland which is a particular example of a country very badly affected.”
Marc Coleman, an Irish-based former economist at the European Central Bank, said of Ireland: “After 15 years of record-busting growth, some froth is being blown off the Guinness. But the glass remains very much almost full,” he said.
“Ireland’s economy grew by almost 90% in the past 10 years, four times faster than the EU and three times faster than countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.”

In 1990, two part-time members of staff at the Blanche Pierre care home on Jersey alerted the authorities about child abuse.
In 1999, a confidential report detailed "gross acts of physical and psychological abuse" at the Blanche Pierre care home.

Marc Dutroux's lawyer, Xavier Magnee, said Dutroux, was part of a criminal network supplying the sex trade.
Magnee said Dutroux was a "small fish" working for a network with links to the police.
Magnee pointed out the failure of the police to process all the forensic samples discovered in a basement cellar in which Dutroux kept four of his captives.
Magnee said that some 6,000 hair samples found in the basement cellar where some of the victims were held had led to the discovery of 25 "unknown" DNA profiles.
"There were people in that cellar that are not now accused," said Magnee.
M. Magnee said prosecutors had ignored evidence that might have linked the ring to a Satanic cult called Abrasax, which is suspected of performing human sacrifices. - Dutroux says he abducted girls with police help - Europe, News ...

Roger Holland, from Jersey, was a convicted paedophile.
In 1992 Holland became a part-time policeman on Jersey.
Six years earlier, he had indecently assaulted a mentally backward 14-year-old girl.
He had admitted molesting a second child.
In 1995, he was promoted to the rank of vingtenier, the second most senior in the island's volunteer police force, which supplements the work of the full-time police. - Secrets and terror of Jersey care home

Marc Dutroux insisted that he was not a "lone predator" but part of a wider paedophile ring.
Dutroux described himself as a victim, a "puppet in a show trial" who had to be put away to "hide the truth" and serve the interests of "organised corruption".

In 1982 Margaret Hodge (nee Oppenheimer) became Islington council leader.
In February 1990 Liz Davies and David Cofie, senior social workers, discovered evidence of sex abuse of children and reported it to a residents' meeting attended by Mrs Hodge.
In May 1990 Mr Cofie and Ms Davies were told by Lyn Cusack, assistant director of social services, to stop interviewing children about the abuse claims.
On 1 May 1997 Tony Blair moved from Islington to Downing Street.
In June 2003 Mrs Hodge was made minister for Children. (Another minister under fire: call for Hodge to quit over child ...)
The Independent, 9 March 2008, has an article on missing children (Our children are missing: Most vulnerable youngsters are targeted) which tells us the following:
Sarah Benford, 14, disappeared from Welford House children's home in Northampton in April 2000.
She is still missing.
The UK's Police National Missing Persons Bureau has 1,418 "open cases" of missing children.
According to Police figures more than 100 children who should be in care have been missing for at least four years.
Many children who go missing are not reported to the police.
Member of parliament Helen Southworth says: "All figures on children missing from anywhere are estimates because, astonishingly, there is no requirement for data to be recorded or collected nationally."
Almost 1,000 children went missing from UK residential and foster care in 2007.
The number that went missing from care increased from 570 in 1997 to 950 in 2007.

"In 'Beyond the Dutroux Affair', it was described how a cabal of highest level players, including judges, lawyers, top bankers, prime ministers and aristocrats were involved in child abuse and snuff networks (going right up to Bilderberg and the Nazi Stay-Behind networks).
"It was also described how this cabal could place their own investigators in leading positions of the child abuse investigations and dismantle it by blocking important inquiries, putting detectives on false leads, and making carefully planned leaks to friendly newspapers." - BriansDreams.com Cached

(List of delegates at Bilderberg 2007, Istanbul, Turkey (May 31 ...)
David James Smith, in The Sunday Times (UK), 16 December 2007, (Kate and Gerry McCann: Beyond the smears) wrote about the Madeleine McCann case:
"I heard that a PJ officer had been surprised to find a member of MI5 at a UK meeting about the case, and this made him suspicious that shadowy forces could be at work.
"The Sol journalist Felicia Cabrita mentioned the 'mysterious Clarence' – Clarence Mitchell, the former government PR officer turned McCann spokesman – and I was told there was suspicion too about another government official, Sheree Dodd, who had acted as a PR officer for the McCanns briefly in the early days..."
Michel Nihoul was the person who allegedly organised orgies in a Belgian chateau.
These Orgies allegedly were attended by a former European commissioner, judges, senior politicians, lawyers and policemen.
Nihoul was one of the accomplices of Marc Dutroux.
Regina Louf testified to the authorities about orgies at which she allegedly saw children tortured and murdered.
The allegation in the the book called 'The X-files: What Belgium Was Not Supposed to Know About the Dutroux Affair' is that, at Black masses, attended by members of Belgium's elite, children were sacrificed.
(The investigation BBC News CORRESPONDENT EUROPE Belgium's X-Files: an Olenka ... BBC NEWS Programmes Correspondent Europe Belgium's X Files ...)
In 1996, at the village of Forchies-la-Marche, the police investigated an institute of Black Magic. They dug up human skulls. (The Irish press coverup of the Marc Dutroux Murders!)
The International Herald Tribune( Belgium Pedophilia Scandal /Did Authorities Cover Up Its Scope ... ) quoted Guy Poncelet as saying the X-files book was convincing.
Guy Poncelet is a judge.
His son, a police officer, was mysteriously shot dead.
This son had been investigating a case involving Dutroux.
Judge Connerotte was the judge who caught Dutroux.
The authorities removed Connerotte from the case.
Patriek De Baets was the official in charge of investigating the X-files. The authorities removed him from the case.
In 1991, Belgium's former deputy prime minister, Andre Cools, announced that he was about to make some revelations about the mafia and their links to some of the most important people in Liege.
"Cools had most imprudently announced to the Belgian press... that he would soon release startling evidence about corruption in Belgium's growing arms industry and its ties to the Canadian billionaire Bronfman brothers, a number ofmajor U.S. political figures and republican fat cats with influence reaching into the inner circles of the Bush White House.
"Among the names that Cools promised to present evidence on were Dick Cheney, Neil Bush, Frank Carlucci, Donald Rumsfeld and members of thepowerful Republican Barbour and Racicot clans who all own large shares in major arms manufactuerers as well as Britain's Jonathan Aitken, Thatcher's secretary of state for defense who had large holdings in a string of British arms suppliers and was a leading figure in the Tory Party hierarchy." - (Conspiracy Planet - Whistleblower: Oswald LeWinter - Bush-Cheney ...)
Cools was shot dead. Before he could speak out.
After Dutroux's arrest in 1996, arrests were made in the Cool's case.
One of those arrested was Alain Van der Biest, a Socialist Minister, alleged to have close links with the mafia gangs of Liege.
Belgian TV came up with an anonymous witness who claimed that leading Socialist politician, Guy Mathot, had ordered Cools to be killed.
In 1994 Mathot was charged with corruption over kickbacks paid to Belgium's Socialist parties.
Willy Claes was NATO Secretary General and a Belgian. He was caught up in the Mathot kickbacks thing and was forced to resign.
Melchior Wathelet was top judge who released Dutroux from prison in 1991.
Wathelet was Belgium's judge at the European Court of Justice.
Wathelet was Belgium's Justice Minister at the time when Cools was shot dead.
Cools' son called for Wathelet and other top judges to be removed from office.
In 1996 there were suggestions that the gangs involved in the Cools' killing had been involved with Dutroux.
According to an article by OSWALD LEWINTER, at Conspiracy Planet, (Conspiracy Planet - Whistleblower: Oswald LeWinter - Bush-Cheney ...):
The discovery of computer discs at Dutroux's house, in 1996, "unraveled an international pedophile ring involving Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, the U.S., Great Britain, Japan and the United Nations and its agencies.
"The names found on the computer disks reached into the highest levels of politics and society in the various countries and institutions, including some of the very members of the Belgian government who had originally been implicated in the assassination of Andre Cools.
"By arresting Dutroux, the Belgian authorities were simultaneously able to round up many of the people responsible for the assassination of Cools.
"In the interim, Dutroux led police to the burial site of four young girls, all of whom had been ritually murdered by his pedophile colleagues.
"Within a short time, over 30 people had been arrested, including a number of high-level politicians, judges, and senior police commanders.
"The prosecuting judge in the Dutroux case was Jean-Marie Connerrote, the same judge who had been dismissed from the Cools murder case before he could issue indictments.
"Among those he arrested in August 1996, and charged in the Cools murder, was Alain Van der Biest, a leading member of the Belgian Socialist Party and a one-time political ally of Cools and a shareholder in PRB...
"The judge also arrested two Italian Mafia leaders linked to the imprisoned 'capo di tutti capi', Salvatore 'Toto' Riina and his longtime 'capo-regime' Giovanni 'the Pig' Brusca, who had played a prominent role in the Cools killing.
"[Riina, head of the Corleone crime syndicate, had been jailed in 1993 despite the fact that he had been a covert asset of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, who had helped the DEA, together withTomasso Buscetta, to make a case against his rival Gaetano Badalamenti in the famous 'Pizza Connection' case.]...
"Dutroux... was closely tied to a senior Portuguese diplomat, Jorge Ritto, a former ambassador to South Africa and Permanent Representative to UNESCO who is a close friend of the agency's Secretary General, Koiichiro Matsura.
"Ritto has been implicated and jailed as a major figure in Portugal's Casa Pia pedophilia scandal.
"Another leading figure dredged up in the widening circle of the Dutroux pedophilia operation, Jean Michel Nihoul, managed the group's finances out of posh offices on the Avenue de Louise in the heart of the Brussels business district.
"He managed a string of Dutroux's properties which functioned as pedophilia clubs in various countries, including a sumptuous and secluded villa in the Caribbean at which leading U.S. political figures, governors and members of Congress could satisfy their pedophile perversions safe from media sleuths.
"Nihoul had been in and out of jail since the 1970's, on a wide range of money-laundering, drug-trafficking, and prostitution charges.
"He was also a leading power in Belgian right-wing political circles, a close friend of U.S. General John Singlaub and Rev. Moon of the World Anti-Communist League as well as to men in the upper echelons of the Sasakawa Foundation.
"Nihoul was also a power in Belgium's Christian Social Party.
"In the 1980's, Nihoul ran an ecology cult, called Eco Vie, through which he became friends for a time with the late Pym Fortuyn,a Dutch politician who was murdered.
"The organization itself served as a front for many of Nihoul's criminal activities.
"Nihoul was also involved in the earlier 'L'Affaire Pinon' a series of pedophile orgies managed by the wife of Dr. Pinon.
"The Nihoul expose raised fears among some of the Belgian elites, that the pedophile indictments would force the reopening of an earlier case, involving the 7th January 1986 murder of a Juan Mendez of Fabrique Nationale.
"Mendez was responsible for providing false 'end-user certificates' for shipments of arms destined for for Iran, Iraq, and several African countries on the United Nations' arms embargo list.
"The Dutroux-Nihoul case also sparked a revival of interest in a parallel case unearthed in the United States, as part of the late 1980s Congressional and special prosecutors probes of the Contra Supply operations.
"The American case involved CIA- Col. Oliver North initiated drugs-for money-for weapons operation, and also the Franklin Credit Bank of Omaha, Nebraska,run by Larry King, a powerful African-American Republican Party operator, whose savings and loan institution was used to launder funds for Oliver North's Contras.
"When former Nebraska state senator John De Camp undertook a probe of King's activities , he uncovered a nationwide pedophile ring, servicing some of the wealthiest and most powerful figures in the Omaha business and political elites in the Republican Party circles of George Herbert Walker Bush (see 'The Franklin Cover-Up, Child Abuse, Satanism and Murder in Nebraska,' by John W. De Camp,{Lincoln Nebraska: AWT, Inc., 1992}).
"On October 14, 1996, the Supreme Court of Belgium removed Judge Connerrote from the Dutroux case...
"Newspaper, LE SOIR, opined in an editorial that Judge Connerrote had to be removed 'because he was unwilling to refrain from subpoenaing major U.S. diplomats and high government officials, as well as key figures in the Dutch and Portuguese pedophilia cases.'"
"Scallywag Magazine alleged that MI5 used to take foreign diplomats to the North Wales homes, give them boys to 'play' with, secretly filmed them as they buggered, abused and tortured boys then kept the tapes as evidence. Over a dozen victims who complained of abuse by the paedophile ring 'have met suspicious deaths'." - (North Wales paedophile ring, top people, the police and the security services.

WHO WILL TRY TO STEAL THE OIL?
Young_cuban_pioneers_(Moncadistas).jpg by EsclaThe Cuban government has announced that there may be more than 20bn barrels of recoverable oil in offshore fields in Cuba's share of the Gulf of Mexico
(20bn barrel oil discovery puts Cuba in the big league / Cuba oil prospects cloud US horizon)
Now, you can imagine how the CIA might try to get its hands on that oil.
The CIA might tell the people of Cuba, through various CIA controlled media outlets:
"Oil is down in price and so Cuba cannot survive.
"Cuba had better join up with the USA which has a very successful economy and no debts."
"We're interested in Iraq's oil" - British outside Baghdad 1941Scotland has lots of oil.
"The North Sea has almost as much oil left as has already been extracted, a BBC Scotland investigation has been told. Experts believe between 25 and 30 billion barrels could still be recovered over the next 40 years." (BBC - Oil reserves 'will last decades')
You can imagine the lies that might come from the security services:
"Scotland needs England, which has a successful economy and no debts."
The truth is that the UK has the biggest budget deficit of any major economy in the world.
England needs Scotland.
UK Government borrowing could reach £100bn this year.
The UK national debt could hit 50 per cent of GDP. (Gordon Brown guilty of grandstanding over financial rescue)
Rupert Murdoch of the Sunday TimesThe Sunday Times, 19 October 2008, claims "A slump in oil prices means an independent Scotland could expect to face a budget deficit of £800m...
"Five months ago when the price of oil soared to $120 (£70) a barrel, Grant Thornton, the leading city accountancy firm, calculated that Scotland would have a budget surplus of £4.4 billion, making it one of the wealthiest small countries in the world.
"Using the Grant Thornton model, a new analysis by The Sunday Times, based on the price of oil falling to about $75 a barrel last week, found Scotland would be in the red."
We don't think many people will be conned by the Sunday Times when it fails to mention that an independent Scotland would be MUCH better off than poor old England.
In 1975, economist Gavin McCrone presented a report on Scotland's oil to the Cabinet office. (How black gold was hijacked.)
McCrone made clear that an independent Scotland's budget surpluses, as a result of the oil boom, would be so large as to be "embarrassing".
Scotland's currency "would become the hardest in Europe, with the exception perhaps of the Norwegian Kronor." Scotland would be in a position to lend heavily to England.

Don't believe all the lies you hear about Iraq or Cuba or Venezuela or any of the other countries with OIL.
What is Cuba really like?
The Cuban people got sick and tired of the US puppet Batista and replaced him with Castro.
Castro refused to sell Cuban produce to US corporations at the same low prices Batista had sold them at.
This affected companies like PepsiCo and United Fruit.
Castro kicked the CIA out of Cuba.
Castro shut down the casinos operated by American mafioso.
The US has blockaded Cuba to starve it into accepting a US puppet.
(Would Somebody Finally Tell Me Why Cuba Is My Enemy?)
Cuban bus - http://www.flickr.com/photos/13642551@N00/2204594968/Cuba is very much wealthier than Haiti which the USA tries to keep as a sort of colony.
Cuba is very much safer than Jamaica which has its drugs gangs.
"Compared to neighboring Haiti, the favelas of Brazil or even post-Katrina New Orleans, for that matter, Cuba is Switzerland...
"I don't compare Cuba with Sweden, France, Lichtenstein or Canada. I compare it with Jamaica, Brazil and... Mississippi. It comes off quite well in comparison with other territories in the 'arc of slavery'". - Fidel Castro David Seaton's News Links

A study of 93 nations has found that only one nation - Cuba - is developing sustainably.
Cuba is the only nation which:
(1) provides a decent standard of living for its people and
(2) does not consume more than its fair share of the world's resources.
New Scientist (World failing on sustainable development - earth - 03 October 2007 ... / Cuba Flies Lone Flag for Sustainability - Indymedia Ireland) provides the details:
"An international team led by Mathis Wackernagel of the Global Footprint Network looked at how the living conditions and ecological footprints of 93 nations have changed in the last 30 years.
"They used the ecological footprint (EF) index, a tool devised in 1993 by Wackernagel and William Rees, his PhD supervisor at the University of British Columbia, Canada. EF quantifies the area of land required to provide the infrastructure used by a person or a nation, the food and goods they consume, and to reabsorb the waste they produce, using available technology."

A secret cabal within the security services?
A good freemason. Image from: www.egy.com/community/99-03-01.shtmlWas everyone in the CIA involved in such activities as the planning of 9 11 and the spreading of stories about Saddam having weapons of mass destruction?
Or is it the case that within the security services of various countries there are secret cabals.
Stella Rimington was the head of Britain's MI5.
In The Guardian, 18 October 2008 ('9/11 response was huge overreaction') we read that she "mentions Guantánamo Bay, the practice of extraordinary rendition, and the invasion of Iraq - three issues which the majority in Britain's security and intelligence establishment opposed privately at the time."
If this is not disinformation, and if a majority opposed the invasion of Iraq, then this would suggest that a hidden cabal pushed for the Iraq War.

On 9 November 2003, Richard Norton-Taylor, the Guardian's security affairs editor, wrote:
"What has already emerged ... is the existence of a dark, almost Jacobean, cabal at the core of the Blair administration.
"It is a group of powerful, unelected people few would have heard of were it not for the evidence given to Hutton: Sir David Manning, the prime minister's foreign policy adviser; Sir David Omand, his security coordinator; and John Scarlett, chairman of the joint intelligence committee..." (There is a dark cabal around Blair)
Sir David Manning, who is Jewish, was in Washington meeting Richard Armitage around the time of 9 11. (US State Department, September 10, 2001)

L. Fletcher Prouty, in JFK: The CIA, Vietnam, and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy, wrote:
The Kennedy "assassination has demonstrated that most of the major events of world significance are masterfully planned and orchestrated by an elite coterie of enormously powerful people who are not of one nation, one ethnic grouping, or one overridingly important business group. They are a power unto themselves for whom those others work. Neither is this power elite of recent origin. Its roots go deep into the past." (The Demonic Cabal)

"Austrian far-right politician Joerg Haider, who died last weekend in a fatal car accident was seen partying at a well-known gay nightclub just before his death, according to German media reports... Haider made a quick visit to Stadtkraeme, a local club famous for its gay night scene." - Report: Austria rightist Haider seen leaving gay club just before ...
Haider "was rumoured throughout his career to be a closet homosexual..." - Haider was drinking in a gay bar before he crashed
"VW spokesman Peter Thul claimed that someone with access to Haider’s car key could have manipulated the car’s electrics." - Road-death politician in a gay bar.

Trident nuclear missile
At present there are nuclear missiles right next to Glasgow, on the Clyde, in Scotland.
Her Majesty's Naval Base Clyde is the home of the United Kingdom's Trident-armed nuclear submarine force.
It is possible that the UK Defence Secretary, John Hutton, could move the nuclear missile base from Scotland to his own constituency of Barrow and Furness, in the North West of England.
All of Britain's Vanguard class submarines, which carry the Trident nuclear deterrent, were manufactured at Barrow.

Scottish National Party Westminster Leader and Shadow Defence Minister Angus Robertson said (Trident money should be used to boost economy):
"The Scottish Trade Union Congress have already shown that far from preserving jobs in Scotland spending on Trident suppresses the Scottish economy.
"The STUC report on Trident shows that if the UK Government was not spending billions of pounds on a new generation of weapons of mass destruction we could have significant investment in other, more productive parts of our economy.
Barrow and Furness to get nuclear site?
"Trident is a costly waste of government's limited resources – particularly in the current economic climate.
"Trident is not the key to employment on the Clyde. In fact replacing Trident could cost Scotland and the Clyde 3,000 jobs.
"The churches, the STUC and a majority of the people of Scotland have voiced their opposition to Trident and any replacement. A majority of Scotland's MPs and the Scottish Parliament have voted against a Trident replacement.

NEW WORLD ORDER IN FINANCE
Where Will the Economy be in a Year?
Whose got the money?
Whose got the oil and gas - countries like Venezuela, Bolivia, Iraq, Iran, Russia and Scotland, which have all been under attack by the New World Order.
Whose got the successful manufacturing industries - countries like China and Japan.
Are they to come under attack?
"The emerging markets of the developing world boast the strong balance sheets and deep financial pockets while the United States and Western Europe lurch from crisis to crisis." (Washington Times - Financial crisis reshapes world order)
According to Alex Patelis, head of international economics at Merrill Lynch: "We do need a new world financial order, and we will probably get one as a side effect of this crisis," he said. (Washington Times - Financial crisis reshapes world order)
The headline in The Herald was: Brown We Need A New World Order In Finance)
Steve Watson writes at Prison Planet, 16 October 2008:
"Officials in Brussels indicated last night that a “Bretton Woods II” summit could take place in New York as early as next month, reports the Financial Times.
"In addition, Morgan Stanley Chief Executive John Mack has also called for a new global body to oversee the financial crisis, warning that it is like nothing he’s ever seen before.
"The calls echo those of elite figures such as CFR member Jeffrey Garten and Timothy Geithner, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, who have both recently called for a “new global monetary authority”, a de-facto global financial dictatorship, operating across borders and forcing nations and corporations to register and adhere to strict monitoring and regulations." -Calls For New Global Financial Order Increase

The Washington Post, the CIA, Iraq and Scotland

Photo from: www.pbs.org/.../frontline/newswar/part1/wmd.html
Deborah Davis's book Katharine The Great (1979) is about Katherine Graham, the publisher of the Washington Post.
Katherine The Great revealed that the Washington Post had close ties with people in the CIA. (CIA Disinformation in Action, Operation Mockingbird.)
In Katherine The Great, a CIA operative is quoted as saying: "You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month."
The Washington Post contained articles which misled people about Iraq.
Kenneth Adelman in the Washington Post, 23 March 2003, wrote about Iraq: "I have no doubt we're going to find big stores of weapons of mass destruction." (Cached)

The CIA now seems to be part of the attack on Scotland, a country which has important oil wealth and military bases.
The Washington Post, allegedly a mouthpiece of the CIA, appears to distort the facts on Scotland. - Bailout's Toll Is Higher in Scotland
The Washington Post, like the unpleasant BBC and much of the English media, seems to suggest that Scotland needs England to bail out its banks.
To be fair, the Washington Post does quote Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond.
Salmond "noted that Ireland was entering its recession '40 percent more prosperous than the U.K.' and that Norway is a 'sea of stability' compared to Britain in the current crisis.
"Which is presumably why Gordon Brown did not want to mention Norway in his thesis that only small countries get into trouble. The country where this started is the United States of America - the largest economy in the world."
It should be noted that IRELAND does not want to join up with 'bankrupt' England.
NORWAY does not want to join up with Sweden.
And presumably CANADA does not want to be merged with the debt-laden USA.

Norway has oil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Aker_Spitsbergen.JPG
The USA and UK are not well placed for economic recovery because of large debts and bad government.
The US budget deficit has swollen to a record $455 billion
In 1997, Gordon Brown, who is now the UK's prime minister, took the Bank of England out of regulating the level of debt in the economy.
Similar mistakes have been made in the USA.
So, which countries are in a strong position?
The small countries in the European Union are in a strong position.
(Between the lines: Small countries looking best placed for recovery.)
1. If we look at GDP per person, taking the EU average as 100, we find the following figures:
Norway 181
Ireland 146
Switzerland 137
These small countries are in a strong position.
The UK figure is 115.
2. If we look at productivity, taking the EU average as 100, we find:
Ireland 138
UK 109
Ireland has invested heavily in education and hi-tech manufacturing.
3. If we look at the % of GDP spent on research we find:
Sweden 3.7%
Finland 3.5%
But the UK figure is only 1.8%
4. If we look at the % of GDP spent on capital investment in fixed plant and IT equipment we find:
Ireland 22
UK 16
Scotland has oil http://en.wikipedia.north_seapros.jpg/
If Scotland was independent, how would it fare?
The Scotsman, 15 October 2008, (The Scotsman) asks some questions and gives us some answers:
Would an independent Scotland have been able to bail out the two Scottish banks RBS and HBOS?
1. Would an independent Scotland have the £37 billion required by the banks.
The Scotsman points out that the UK government does not have the money!
The UK government will have to borrow the £37 billion from the world money markets in the form of a gilt auction.
An independent Scotland could presumably have done the same.
2. Would RBS and HBOS have got into such trouble had Scotland been independent?
The Scottish National Party has argued that Scotland would have better financial regulation.
Politics professor John Curtice has suggested that an independent Scotland might have prevented the Bank of Scotland from being merged with the Halifax.
3. Would an independent Scotland have been able to cope with the banking crisis in general?
Scottish Nation Party leader Alex Salmond says that an independent Scotland would have acted as decisively as the Irish government, which moved to guarantee all deposits in its banks.
The London government dithered.
4. When we look at the small European countries like Ireland and Norway, is there an "arc of prosperity" or an "arc of insolvency"?
The "arc of prosperity" was supposed to include Norway, Iceland and Ireland.
Norway is expecting its economy to grow for the next couple of years.
Irish economic expert Marc Coleman has pointed out that Ireland is well ahead of the UK in economic terms.
5. Had an independent Scotland been in the eurozone, would it have made a difference?
Being in the eurozone has cushioned the Irish economy from the worst effects of the credit crunch. Iceland is not in the Eurozone.

CLASSIC AMERICAN JUSTICE
Emmett Till
1. Emmett Till was from Chicago.
In 1955, fourteen year old Emmett went to visit a small town in Mississippi.
He whistled at a woman outside a store.
A group of men beat Emmett to a pulp, shot him dead and dumped him in a river.
The husband of the woman who had been whistled at and his half brother were arrested.
The evidence against them was 'pretty overwhelming'.
Emmett Till
The jury found the two men not guilty.
In 1956, the two men admitted in an interview with Look magazine that they had killed Emmett.
Emmett was black and the jury was white.
Clyde Kennard
2. In 1955, Clyde Kennard, a former army sergeant, tried to enrol at Mississippi Southern College in Mississippi.
He was sent away.
University officials planted illicit alcohol and stolen chicken feed in his car and had him charged with theft.
He died in prison.

slaves
3. Lamar Smith was a 63-year-old black farmer and World War II veteran and organizer of black voter registration.
He was shot to death in broad daylight at close range on the lawn of the Lincoln County courthouse in Brookhaven, Mississippi.
Some reports say there were many white witnesses including the local sheriff who saw a white man covered with blood leaving the scene.
No witnesses would come forward and three men who had been arrested went free.
Megrahi4. According to the newspaper 'Scotland on Sunday' (The Truth Seeker - Lockerbie evidence was faked), 28 August 2005, a Scottish Police chief has revealed that the Lockerbie evidence was faked.
The 1989 Lockerbie Bomb (PanAm 103) incident killed 270 people.
The former police chief has given lawyers a signed statement claiming that evidence in the Lockerbie bombing trial was fabricated.
The officer has testified that the CIA planted the fragment of circuit board crucial in convicting Al Megrahi.
The police chief's identity has not yet been revealed.
According to the Scotsman, "the claims pose a potentially devastating threat to the reputation of the entire Scottish legal system."
The officer is supporting claims by a former CIA agent that his bosses "wrote the script" to incriminate Libya.
An insider told Scotland on Sunday that the retired officer approached them after Megrahi's appeal - before a bench of five Scottish judges - was dismissed in 2002.
The insider said: "He said he believed he had crucial information. A meeting was set up and he gave a statement that supported the long-standing rumours that the key piece of evidence, a fragment of circuit board from a timing device that implicated Libya, had been planted by US agents.
"Asked why he had not come forward before, he admitted he'd been wary of breaking ranks, afraid of being vilified.
"He also said that at the time he became aware of the matter, no one really believed there would ever be a trial. When it did come about, he believed both accused would be acquitted. When Megrahi was convicted, he told himself he'd be cleared at appeal."
The source added: "When that also failed, he explained he felt he had to come forward.
"He has confirmed that parts of the case were fabricated and that evidence was planted. At first he requested anonymity, but has backed down and will be identified if and when the case returns to the appeal court."
The evidence that linked the bombing of Pan Am 103 to Megrahi was a tiny fragment of circuit board found in a wooded area many miles from Lockerbie.
The fragment was later identified by the FBI's Thomas Thurman as being part of a sophisticated timer device used to detonate explosives.
Thurman has been revealed as a fraud who had given false evidence in American murder trials. He had little in the way of scientific qualifications.
In 2003, a retired CIA officer gave a statement to Megrahi's lawyers in which he alleged evidence had been planted.
It has long been rumoured the fragment was planted to implicate Libya for political reasons.
Following the Lockerbie Bomb trial, legal observers, including senior United Nations officials, expressed doubts about the verdict.

Oh What A Lovely Bank War
People may be wakening up to the plots of the bad guys?
On 16 October 2008, George Shanks wrote in The Scotsman about UK prime minister Gordon Brown's actions on banks (Brown and Scotland's bail-out blues ):
"Saying Mr Brown has had a good credit crisis is akin to saying Earl Haig had a good First World War."
A M T Maxwell-Irving in The Scotsman (Brown and Scotland's bail-out blues ) wrote Gordon Brown:
"The opportunity to take over Scotland's two banks, and thus spike the Scottish National Party's guns, whilst at the same time raising his own status as the self-professed saviour of the world's economy, was too good to miss...
"He talked down the value of HBOS shares while arranging for the smaller Lloyds TSB bank (in England) to take over Scotland's national bank.
"Then, and only then, did he make short-selling of shares illegal."
Hector Sants is the head of the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
On 15 October 2008, he indicated that Bank of Scotland (HBOS) could survive as an independent bank.
Hector Sants said all banks now have enough capital – suggesting the Scottish institution could continue without the controversial Lloyds TSB takeover. (Watchdog says HBOS has enough cash to stand alone)
The Scotsman newspaper, 16 October 2008, has the headline:
No answer was the loud reply
Watchdog says HBOS has enough cash to stand alone
The Scotsman asked six key questions about Gordon Brown's £37 billion banking bail-out.
"Last night, the Bank of England and the Treasury were yet to respond to The Scotsman's challenge.
The questions were:
1. Why were the recapitalisation proposals for Lloyds TSB and HBOS not considered and presented separately?
2. Why was there a presumption in favour of a Lloyds TSB takeover – particularly when shareholders of both banks have not yet had an opportunity to vote on it?
3. Why should the government be supporting a solution that stands to trigger many more job losses than those already necessary?
4. Why have assurances not been sought on the retention of key functions in Scotland?
5. What protection will there be for bank customers and consumers as a result of loss of competition across the UK, and particularly in Scotland?
6. Has the government considered alternative options for HBOS? Why could the group not be supported like RBS and given the opportunity to trade out of its current difficulties over the next three years?
What happened to the Scottish regiments?
Famous names such as the Cameronians, the Argylls and the Black Watch have gone.
Gordon Brown's labour government does not want there to be a Scottish identity.
Some suspect there is a conspiracy to undermine the Scottish economy and prevent Scotland from becoming independent.
1. Scotland has enormous oil wealth and it pays its own way.
The London government and the London media have repeatedly lied about this.
aangirfan: Scotland pays its own way / aangirfan: SCOTTISH OIL RESERVES EXCEED ESTIMATES
2. In 2003, the Herald newspaper, based in Scotland, was taken over by the American company Gannett (Newsquest).
Since then the editorial staff has been cut from 186 to 113.
In July 2008, the editor of the Herald newspaper, left his job.
Today's Herald is full of anti-Scottish and pro-American propaganda.
The media can block out the truth
3. In 2001, Scottish Provident was taken over by the English Abbey National.
4. In 2007, Scottish Power was taken over by Spanish company Iberdrola
5. In 2007, Scottish and Newcastle Breweries was taken over by Carlsberg.
6. In 2008, it was announced that Halifax - Bank of Scotland was to be taken over by the English Lloyds TSB.
Scottish Colony One of the biggest setbacks for the Scottish economy came just before Scotland lost its independence in 1707.
Scotland's Darien Scheme involved the setting up of a Scottish colony on the Isthmus of Panama in the hope of trading with both the East and the West. (the same principle later led to the building of the Panama Canal.)
The English Government did everything it could to make the scheme fail.
English investors withdrew their money.
English ships were forbidden to help the colonists.
