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

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: 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

“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)

“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

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?

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: 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.

Ron: Tell me again WHY you think its anti-Semitic and unfair to the SELF CHOSEN to criticise their constant and vicious racism and denigration of Christians, negroes and non-Jews. See eg: WHO says Jews have no sense of humour? They’re always laughting at us! http://abundanthope.net/pages/Ron_71/WHO-says-Jews-have-no-sense-of-humour-They-re-always-laughting-at-us.shtml And: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3RYrQSir7k; And for a fuller discussion see: Because It's 'Funny' When Jews Do It - http://www.rense.com/general77/because.htm

Ron: If this New York based Human Rights Watch report is to be believed almost HALF of all civilian deaths and casualties caused by NATO's 26,000 sorties in 2011, including some 9,600 strike missions and destruction of about 5,900 targets, occurred on ONE occasion when NATO attacked the village of Majer, 160 km (100 miles) east of Tripoli on August 8  Air strikes on two family compounds killed 34 civilians and wounded more than 30. In four HRW visits to Majer, including one the day after the attack, the only possible evidence of a military presence found was a single military-style shirt - common clothing for many Libyans. Apparently the months long bombardment and destruction of the cities of Sirte

and Bani Walid caused only slightly more civilian deaths than this one strike on three homes in Majer.

Ron: I hope that this "demonstration" process is being truly understood by the peoples of Lebanon, Syria and Iran (as well as the Libyans, Iraqis, Afghanis, Pakistanis, Yemenis, Sudanese, Nigerians, Congolese, Tunesians. Egyptians, Algerians et al) BECAUSE the Jew controlled global mainstream media ensures that the "demonstration" is seen by the smug and comfortable Western world as just more evidence of Muslim and African sectarian barbarity.

'...if I get this right this latest figment of the imagination was even more sophisticated than the last one!!!……so how come the last not so sophisticated device had travelled via so many international airports, including the Zionist run security at Amsterdam and ended up in Detroit...' - Peter Eyre

'... since World War II, any head of state who has opposed the Zionist quest for global supremacy or who rejects puppetry for sovereignty on any level is “Hitler,” their nation is “Germany” and their people are “Nazis.” This is a twisted Jewish-created, Zionist-fueled blood libel against the exceptional, resilient German people... At the height of Desert Storm, neoconservative stalwart and well-connected Orthodox Jewish lawyer Bruce Fein, invoking none other than World War II, clamorously called on the Bush Sr. administration to reduce Iraq to rubble so the “woolly-headed” Iraqi people could be punished the way that the Germans of Dresden and Berlin and the Japanese of Tokyo were mercilessly punished by the Allied powers’ indiscriminate bombing campaigns (19). The homicidal Zionist Fein would not get his wish completely granted until the 2003 invasion but it is certain that it was partially granted in the middle of the night on February 26th, carrying over into February 27th, when one of the ghastliest crimes against humanity in modern history was committed against an Iraqi convoy of around 2,000 military and civilian vehicles retreating along a highway from Kuwait back to Iraq in full cooperation with UN Resolution 660: “The Highway of Death.” In a sheer act of evil, nothing but pure, unadulterated evil, American forces maliciously and murderously bombed the convoy, incinerating tens of thousands of Iraqis and destroying thousands of cars, buses, trucks and tanks (20).

The "Highway of Death" massacre is one of the most brutal crimes against humanity committed in the modern era, one that the neoconservatives are very proud of.

The casualty count stands as low as 50,000 and as high 150,000 Iraqi men, women and children; the reason for the discrepancy is that the Bush administration ordered its forces to bury the bodies in unmarked mass graves, thus burying the butchery from the eyes of the world (21)... The “Highway of Death” and the 2003 invasion of Iraq were both launched on Purim, the former at the end of the Jewish death holiday, the latter at the start (22), and this is very much by design... when US occupation forces, during their assault on Baghdad Airport, dropped neutron bombs on Iraqi Resistance fighters, slaughtering about 2,000 and leaving their “bodies burnt to the bones (57).” Before this criminal act of aggression, a “test run” was carried out when neutron bombs were unleashed on a small village 30 miles from Baghdad. 12-year old (at the time) Ali Abbas watched his entire family, ten members, get incinerated by the destructive weapon. Ali himself lost his arms in the blast and sustained horrific burns across his torso. Ali’s terribly scarred body is the only evidence of this outrageous crime, as the neutron bombs eradicated any other proof, including his family, to dust (58). - Jonathan Azaziah

Ron: This article may help readers to understand why it is that politicians become puppets of the Jews or die. Notice also, the difference between today's faux-terror FBI and similar, pseudo-bomb plots involving shoe, underwear and hair care chemical bombers etc, and the real thing. The Jews are REAL terrorists and they organise REAL bombings. Their speciality is pseudo-suicide bombings in which ignorant patsies are unknowingly set up and "suicided" along with the civilians the Jews murder for terrorist effect. This was a favourite technique in Israel before construction of THE WALL. Often such bombings killed non-Jews or at least non-Askenazis.

As David Martin puts it: 'For our politicians, Anthony Lawson has charged, the Zionists mainly use coercion and bribery. Few things are more coercive than assassination, or even an assassination attempt, and if Gore Vidal and John F. Kennedy are to be believed, Truman was strongly influenced by that other measure as well.'

Sooo, perhaps it isn't surprising that Harry S(olomon) Truman was sooo alacritous in recognising "Israel" in 1948.

if things go very, very badly the losses could end up being much larger as a recent Zero Hedge article detailed....

Simple: because it knew with 100% certainty that if things turn out very, very badly, that the taxpayer, via the Fed, would come to its rescue. Luckily, things turned out only 80% bad. Although it is not over yet: if credit spreads soar, assuming at $200 million DV01, and a 100 bps move, JPM could suffer a $20 billion loss when all is said and done. But hey: at least "net" is not "gross" and we know, just know, that the SEC will get involved and make sure something like this never happens again.

Ron: Just another reason why the world as we know it must change. And those who cannot see the need will have to pursue their education elsewhere.
