Ellen Brown noted that 40% of banks globally are also publicly-owned.  These are largely in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), which also escaped the credit crisis, largely because their public banks did not rely on derivatives and, unlike private banks, lent counter-cyclically to cushion their economies from the downturn.

Ron: hopefully this is a sign that the bogus banking system is being taken down.

Recently, a number of Spanish scholars, such as Jose Erugo, Celso Garcia de la Riega, Otero Sanchez and Nicholas Dias Perez, have concluded that Columbus was a Marrano, whose survival depended upon the suppression of all evidence of his Jewish background in face of the brutal, systematic ethnic cleansing.- Charles Garcia

'Hitler has succeeded in restoring Germany to the most powerful position in Europe, and not only has he restored the position of his country, but he has even, to a very great extent, reversed the results of the Great War ... these exploits are certainly the most remarkable in the whole history of the world." "If Great Britain were defeated in war I hoped we should find a Hitler to lead us back to our rightful position among the nations."  And in a letter to Lord Boothby: "Germany's unforgiveable crime before the second world war was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit," - Winston Churchill

Is Zuckerberg Mossad? The life story of Mark Zuckerberg supports such a claim. He was born into a Jewish family; his compromise to Judaism was so significant that he had a Bar Mitzvah at the age of 13. Don’t laugh at this; this isn’t just a familiar event with good food. A Bar Mitzvah is the formal acceptance of Judaism by those born into Jewish families. It isn’t a familiar obligation, but an act of choice. Having grown up in a Communist Kibbutz, I must tell that only a minority of its kids chose to participate in such a questionable event. Yet, our Mark was happy to participate. That means Mark Zuckerberg was in an excellent position to become a formal “sayan” of the Mossad. Former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky, in his book By Way of Deception, described the issue of worldwide Jewish-Israeli espionage extensively. The Mossad uses “sayanim,” (“helpers” in Hebrew) or local Jews living in foreign countries as its organizational base. Did Zuckerberg become one? Let’s see. He entered Harvard, and shortly after violated its computers, stealing an important database. He belonged to Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity. Then, Harvard students Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra accused Zuckerberg of intentionally making them believe he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com (later called ConnectU); in such a way, Mark Zuckerberg stole the technology that allowed him to build Facebook. One could claim that Mossad wanted to get formal access to HarvardConnection.com technology. It is useful for monitoring and controlling social networks. Spotting Zuckerberg as a cooperative individual wasn’t hard. Giving him an informal tip on how to break into Harvard’s computers was even easier. Explaining to him how to trick out the technology from Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra— none of them would have cooperated with Mossad—was also easy. - RoyTov

if we focus on Israel as being instrumental and being behind this... and when we talk about the true axis of evil we must come back to here in London because the Zionist mechanism, the New World Order mechanism is based in London and so London pulls the strings of the US and also Israel, of course, is part of that. - Peter Eyre

The new plan, however, now involves the reduction of staff at over 13,000 rural post office locations as well as a reduction in hours of operation down to as little as two hours in some offices. Estimates of potential job losses run over 100,000...the 2006 mandate ... a provision of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006, requires the Post Office to fund the health care benefits of future retirees as far out as 75 years into the future – all within a 10-year window. Previously, as in every other business (and the United States Government), the health care of retirees was a pay-as-you-go system. - Brandon Turbeville

'What’s with this world? It doesn’t matter what new technology surfaces, “How can we weaponize it?”...When you find out the so-called enemies have all been either fictional or deliberately fabricated you start to catch on. It also leaves you with the  horrific spectre of a very dark shadowy power with way too much power and a cornucopia of bad intentions. Nasty conclusion, but a true one. The Defense Department, once more openly called the War Department, is the tip of the iceberg. War is a money maker, as well as a release valve for sick psychopaths ...' - Zen Gardner

Ron: Arguably humanity needs to stop presupposing that the current global money system is viable and desireable. It is neither. Assuming that humanity's money meme is OK presumes that it is not a mind control mechanism when it is. I sometimes wonder why clever people keep talking about "thinking outside the square" when they never do. Those who think the coming societal changes will be gradual are in for a substantial surprise.

Ron : As always with Sorcha Faal, discernment is required. But this report is at least interesting having regard to the references to the Sun.

'... being a “scholar” or an “academic” is a job, a profession, which is part of a larger structure. If you want to get a job as a “scholar” or “academic” you absolutely need to buy into its mindset; buy into the paradigm. If you don’t buy in then you simply won’t get hired, and you won’t climb the ladder and move up. Thinkers and researchers who might have wilder or different or more extra ordinary ideas of the past are thus weeded out so that the ones who are left are those who have bought into the existing paradigm. Thus, no scholar dares challenge the “established” model against hyperdiffusionism, that is, if he or she wishes to get published or win research grants or move along in the profession. This is the simple way in which research into the human past is being controlled by forces we can’t see and most of us don’t understand. - Richard Cassaro

Ron: To understand the current "War on Terror" you need to understand that Anglo-US secret services create the terror and pretend to fight it. The latest examples being Libya and Syria. Today's terrorism is arguably a continuantion of GLADIO on a global basis with special focus on Muslim and African countries. See eg: http://abundanthope.net/pages/True_US_History_108/FALSE-FLAG---Operation-Gladio---Worldwide-Terror-Campaign.shtml

Civil unrest is rising to dangerous levels in Italy. The Italian government has assigned bodyguards to 550 individuals and has increased security at about 14,000 locations in response to recent violence related to the economic crisis. - Michael Snyder

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” - (Marcia Angell, MD, [ former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine] The New York Review of Books, January 15, 2009)

Parentheti­cally, the maneuver of acquiring a name easily acceptable to the majority was very widely practiced by the aliens prominent in the seizure of Russia for Communism, among the name-chang­ers being Lenin (Ulianov), Trotsky (Bronstein), and Stalin (Dzugashvili), the principal founders of state Communism. [H: How many of you realize this? How many of you ever DREAMED in your wildest nightmares that Lenin and Stalin were JEWS? PONDER IT--WHAT ELSE DO YOU NOT KNOW?] - GYEORGOS CERES HATONN

“The world at the moment is comprised mostly of our self-divided ways of living in which our ‘jobs’ have taken on far more significance that they were ever intended to posses. To understand what we have become we must be able to separate ourselves from what we see around us on the road of life, if we are to ever understand what is happening anywhere in this broken world.- Jim Kirwan

Ron: Pleaseee! Stop telling me that Gilad Atzmon is a genuine liberal, truth telling Jew! Jews are liars, that's their ideology and culture where goyim are concerned. Atzmon just happens to be better at it that most. YET AGAIN, here he is subtly lying about "German "guilt" when any rational scholar KNOWS that it was the Jews who fomented WWII and organised the genocide of 20 million Germans. WWII resulted in a holocaust of Germans, Russians and Poles BUT NOT JEWS.

Obama is as reactionary and violent as George W. Bush, and in some ways he is worse. His personal speciality is the use of Hellfire missile-armed drones against defenceless people. Under cover of a partial withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, he has sent US special forces to 120 countries where death squads are trained. He has revived the old cold war on two fronts: against China in Asia and with a "shield" of missiles aimed at Russia. The first black president has presided over the incarceration and surveillance of greater numbers of  black people than were enslaved in 1850. - John Pilger

Candace note:  I guess John Pilger has not figured out the presidents are figure heads at best?

A Greek exit from the euro seems more likely with each passing day. Such an exit would have a devastating impact on the Greek economy, but it would also dramatically affect the rest of the globe as well. The following is from a recent article by Louise Armitstead.... 'The Institute of International Finance has estimated that the global cost of a Greek exit could hit €1trillion. When Argentina defaulted in 2001, foreign debtors lost around 70pc of their investments.'

That is a big hit for such a little country. - Michael Snyder

And if Libya's "post-revolution" dystopia can serve as a warning to Turkey against advancing the West's agenda, "pre-revolution" Libya where the West feigned rapprochement with Muammar Qaddafi before ultimately betraying him can serve as warning against Turkey for believing it serves as anything more than a lever with which the West seeks to use to advance its own exclusively beneficial interests - Tony Cartalucci

Readers this is a very GOOD article with a nice list of hints that might cause some of you to wonder about what you see in your area.  There is a post office near me for example, with way too many cars parked there with not many clients inside.  -C

Ron: Sooo, why do you think that California is bankrupt? And why do you think that paying rates and taxes to employ government bureaucrats and police enforcement thugs is a good idea?

With 81% of American Jews supporting same-sex marriage, (for Goys not for themselves), Obama—alleged to be a homosexual himself—is clearly siding with Jewry’s ongoing annihilation of the traditional consensus of the White and Black Middle Class.- Br Nathanael Kapner

Did you know that there are 100 million working age Americans that do not get up in the morning and go to work?  No wonder why it seems like there are so many people that do not have jobs!  According to the federal government, there are 12.6 million working age Americans that are considered to be "officially" unemployed, but there are another 87.8 million working age Americans that are not working either. - Bob Chapman

Ron: The WTC towers were primarily demolished by 3 underground thermo-nuclear explosions. The detonations and related activities had to have been  "An Inside Job" which the US government then used  as an excuse for the US and its allies to invade and occupy Afghanistan and Iraq and to initiate the never ending WAR ON TERROR. Those  wars and millions of deaths were, and continue to be, based on a gigantic hoax and incredible lies.

Ron: Dunno about you but I'm absolutely fed up with the activities of the Chosenites and their shitty little racist Rothschilds' owned entity. When can we expect fat and happy Amerikkan fundamentalist Christians and US military families and bomb makers to get a clue, bloated as they are from feeding at the udders of Eisenhower's military industrial complex? Are fundamentalist rapture fantasies and fat mercenary wage checks really enough to justify supporting Talmudic genocides around the world? USans are badly in need of a reality check. Why the universe doesn't provide them with one is a matter of some amazement to me.

Ron: Germany had legitimate concerns about the welfare, security and safety of Germans living in Czechoslovakia and Poland because the Czechs and Bolshevik Jews were expropriating their land, persecuting and, in Poland, killing them. Remember, some 3.5 million Sudeten Germans were forceably removed from the German socio-political orbit in the Austro-Hungarian empire and placed in the new entity, Czechoslovakia, by the Jews who controlled the Versailles Treaty arrangements. Similarly Danzig and much of East Prussia was incorporated into Poland and some 60,000 Germans were killed by Bolshevik Jews in Poland before WWII. Compute that! There are NO direct parallels between the US fostering terrorism and destruction today in Syria, ie a nation ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD where NO Amerikkan citizens live or have ever lived, and Germany intervening in Czechoslovakia and Poland (ie in lands contiguous with German territory where Germans constituted most of the population and had lived there for centuries), in 1938-39. NONE! Why can't otherwise sane commentators like Tony Cartalucci do their homework and understand that?! Ashkenazi Jews, NOT Germans, created the turmoil and dissension in both Czechoslovakia and Poland just as they do everywhere* including in Syria and Iran today. * See eg: Jewish At The Root: Iraq’s Destruction, Hell Weapons, Hatred, Networking And The Interconnectedness Of It All - http://abundanthope.net/pages/True_US_History_108/Jewish-At-The-Root-Iraq-s-Destruction-Hell-Weapons-Hatred-Networking-And-The-Interconnectedness-Of-It-All.shtml ].

Ron: Tell me again WHY you think that governments having a monopoly on force and violence are needed and are good for you.

True spirituality is diametrically opposed to organized religion. Oddly enough, religions feed off this hunger for spirituality and then build these elaborate hierarchical structures to control and contain it.- Zen Gardner

Candace: after reading this, dear readers, this is YOUR HOMEWORK. READ IT and THINK!  Because I have NOT done well with the asking of most of you to consider your own convictions and how they came out and how you straighten your your own velcro.  If you are going to show the way, you have to find your sovereignty again. You have to re member yourself to from whence you came to this world.    This stuff goes ignored or not understood when I post about it to other forums.  UNDO THE HOOKs/ie your false beliefs and reality.

Ron: Here's some plausible history about Moses.
