For the benefit of Uncle Sam and Israeli
There will be a raid tonight on Tripoli
All the cut-throat killers will be there
Landing by land, sea and air
Murdering for Democracy!
And all the while the Yahoo!s smile
As their masters celebrate their victory
For the benefit of Goldman Sachs
The armored robots will attack
Flooding onto Libyan shores
As their Flickring Twittering Media roars
About their liberty!

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), 3rd US President. It is a basic law of physics that one can neither create of destroy energy. If one assumes that money is energy then the world of finance has a date with destiny. A lot of verbiage has been released about the Banker engineered financial implosion that brought about the “Great Recession” 2008 and the current US housing depression. What has not been discussed is how a banking system based on a fiat digital currency could generate 1.64 Quadrillion dollars worth of financial vehicles known as derivatives, and how these financial cluster bombs have eroded our way of life.

People who do not learn from the lessons of past human tragedies are bound to witness their repetition and ultimately learn those lessons the hard way. Mesmerized by the media monopoly mouthpieces, bamboozled by politician and policy-wonk doubletalk and led astray by their own conditioned foolishness, some people in Libya, Arabs and others are now being herded into support for the destruction of a popular and unique socialist society in Libya.
Using time-dishonored techniques of mass manipulation pioneered by the promulgators of “Public Relations” and commercial advertising, the USA-Zionist imperialist conglomerate is going all out to enlist or at least neutralize and confound onlookers as they drive to oust Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and dismantle socialism and the progress of the Arab people of Libya.

How WikiLeaks is democratizing journalism, redistributing power and increasing transparency
If there were ever a doubt about whether the editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, is a journalist, recent events erase all those doubts and put him at the forefront of a movement to democratize journalism and empower people.
The U.S. Department of Justice is still trying to find a way to prosecute Assange and others associated with WikiLeaks. A key to their prosecution is claiming he is not a journalist, but that weak premise has been made laughable by recent events.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, even while I was practicing fulltime Medicine in Melbourne Australia, I experienced a set of extraordinary circumstances which allowed me to contact what I term Supra-Mental Consciousness.
I had been vigorously questioning the state of the world, and I found that answers provided for the various problems causing the ubiquitous pain, suffering and misery that confronted us daily, and appeared to be increasing exponentially were obviously incomplete, inaccurate or absurd. Various esoteric conundrums one met on searching ever so slightly below the surface of daily living seemed to be simply ignored. Worse still, those who delved even a little into the mysteries of life were barely tolerated it seems, and were often quickly dismissed as fools. But, that made me all the more determined to find answers.

Around the world, the frustration of ordinary people with the economy, unemployment, corruption, and repression has reached critical mass. They're mad as hell, as the famous movie line goes, and they're not going to take it anymore. The people are taking to the streets in protest. And it's working -- maybe.
On February 27, Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi announced his resignation under pressure from the masses. This came just a few weeks after his ally, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, was driven from power after weeks of intensive civil resistance from the grassroots.
Meanwhile, the people of Egypt have driven dictator Hosni Mubarak out of the country following 18 days of demonstrations.
And, in Libya, things are not looking good for Muammar Gaddafi, as of this writing. The people there, too, have had enough.

COLOGNE, February 28 - As the world's largest atom smasher prepares to restart after a two-month break, a German court has called for the German Government to convene a conference on the collider's potential risks.
After an intensive three-hour court hearing in Cologne, the Presiding Judge, Hans-Martin Niemeier, declared, "The Court has expressed its opinion that it should be possible to discuss the various safety aspects that have been the subject of the two safety reports from 2003 and 2008, within the framework of a safety conference."
The hearing featured a debate between Germany's leading critic of the LHC, Prof. Otto E. Rössler, and two scientists representing CERN, Dr. Voss and Dr. Ringwald. CERN contended that it had proven that the Geneva-based Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is completely safe. Critics of the collider, on the other hand, pointed to flaws and contradictions in CERN's safety arguments for the possible production of black holes and exotic new forms of matter.

Egyptians want it. So do Palestinians, Arabs throughout the region, protesting East and West Europeans, others across the world, and growing numbers in America, especially in Wisconsin - ground zero to save organized labor.
At issue is freedom v. tyranny, what Aaron Russo's 2006 film called "Freedom to Fascism," identifying America's money system as inimical to liberty and justice for all. Along with American-style corporatism, it lets banking giants control money, credit and debt for private self-enrichment, colluding with government for laws favoring them, as well as others destroying democratic principles, fast eroding and disappearing throughout the country.
It produces:
-- pervasive public and private corruption;
-- concentrated wealth;
-- government serving America's aristocracy, not popular interests;

So far, weeks of regional protests achieved nothing. Despite ousting Egypt's Mubarak and Tunisia's Ben Ali, their regimes remain in place, offering nothing but unfulfilled promises.
On February 26, Egyptians again protested in Tahrir Square. This time, however, military forces confronted them, Reuters headlining, "Egypt military angers protesters with show of force," saying:
"Soldiers used force on Saturday to break up a protest demanding more political reform in Egypt, demonstrators said, in the toughest move yet against opposition activists who accused the country's military rulers of 'betraying the people.' "

In 2003, an ACLU report warned that "Big Brother" no longer is fiction, America having advanced to where total surveillance is now possible. Barry Steinhardt, Director of the ACLU's Technology and Liberty Program said:
"Given the capabilities of today's technology, the only thing protecting us from a full-fledged surveillance society are the legal and political institutions we have inherited as Americans. Unfortunately, the September 11 attacks have led some to embrace the fallacy that weakening the Constitution will strengthen America."
As a result, civil liberties fast eroded. In 2007, another ACLU report warned about America being six minutes to midnight "as a surveillance society draws near...." Powerful new technologies potentially make total monitoring possible under a president, a compliant Congress and courts that believe national security takes precedence over constitutional freedoms.
