Obama's Fake Muslim Outreach
by Stephen Lendman
While slaughtering Muslims abroad, supporting Israeli's illegal occupation and genocidal Gaza siege, as well as waging domestic war on Islam, Reuters, on November 9, headlined, "Obama says US earnest, reaching out to Muslim world," saying:
From Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country, "President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Washington's effort to reach out to the Muslim world was earnest and would help improve security, although he acknowledged that there was still more work to do."
Obama and Jihad and how not to fight terrorism
By Alan Hart
In Mumbai President Obama was asked by an Indian student for his “take or opinion on jihad”. He began his answer with the observation that “the phrase jihad has a lot of meanings within Islam and is subject to a lot of different interpretations.” In its report of the discussion, The New York Times noted that Obama “carefully avoided saying that he was opposed to jihad”. (I ask - How could he be opposed if he is aware of its two real and true meanings in Islam? The Greater jihad is the inner struggle for self-improvement to become a good Muslim. The Lesser jihad is struggle against oppression - oppression as in Israel’s occupation and treatment of the Palestinians, for example).
THE ZOMBIE INTERNET, TIME TO FLUSH THE SEWAGE
By Gordon Duff
PULLING THE PLUG MIGHT BE A FAVOR
The internet is not a reliable place for information, in fact, it can be almost as bad as television or a college education. The internet has also become more dangerous than most guess. The internet now breeds zombies, yes, the brain eating, stench ridden living dead. Perhaps this is the internet’s highest purpose.
Years ago, it was “Nigerian scams” and identity theft. Two decades of progress has made all but the dumbest clucks unwilling to put their financial lives on a “spoof” website from a bank they never heard of or to send their life savings to finance the delivery of lottery winnings.
Shin Bet Mistreatment of Palestinian Detainees
by Stephen Lendman
An October B'Tselem/HaMoked, Center of the Defence of the Individual report, titled "Kept in the Dark: Treatment of Palestinian Detainees in the Petach-Tikva Interrogation Facility of the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet)" is discussed below. Though, in some respects, treatment over the years has changed, it remains harsh, abusive, and in violation of international law, prohibiting all forms of torture and mistreatment at all times, under all conditions, with no allowed exceptions.
The report is based on testimonies from 121 Palestinian detainees during Q 1 and Q 4, 2009. Clear patterns of mistreatment were revealed - torture and abuse by any standard, what Israel practices as official policy.

"The U.S. financial system and the world has evolved on the Bank of England model is not sustainable. It creates nearly all money as debt. Such money only exists as long as someone is willing and able to pay interest on it. It disappears, wholly or partially, in recurring financial crises. Such a system requires that new debt must be created faster than principal and interest payments fall due on old debt ." Posted by John H. Hobson
Peace Held Hostage to Rotating US, Israeli Elections
By Nicola Nasser*
The statement by former U.S. President George W. Bush in his 497 – page memoir of “Decision Points” that a secret peace deal was worked out between the then-prime minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, and Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, which “we devised a process to turn .. into a public agreement” had not Olmert been ousted by a scandal to be replaced in the following elections by Binyamin Netanyahu, who reneged on his predecessor’s commitments, is a piece of history which highlights the fact that peace making in the Arab – Israeli conflict and the peace process have been hostages to the rotating U.S. and Israeli elections since the Madrid peace conference of 1991.
Of course Bush had a different point of view. In his Rose Garden speech on Israel – Palestine two-state solution on June 24, 2002, he said that “for too long .. the citizens of the Middle East” and “the hopes of many” have been held “hostage” to “the hatred of a few (and) the forces of extremism and terror,” a misjudgement that led his administration to strike a deal with the former Israeli premier, now comatose, Ariel Sharon to engineer a “regime change” in the self-ruled Palestinian Authority that resulted – according to Sharon’s terminology – in the “removal” of Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader who made peace possible in the first place for the first time in the past one hundred years and for that deserved to be a Nobel Peace Laureate, to be replaced by the incumbent Palestinian leadership of Abbas who, despite being almost identical of both men’s image of a peace maker, is again victimized by the same rotating U.S. and Israeli elections, much more than by what Bush termed as “forces of extremism and terror.”
Silver (2008) Took the Stairs to $21, Silver (2010) Takes the Elevator to $29
By Robert Singer
Headline today November 9, 2010: Gold and Silver Soar amid New Debt Woes and Gold Standard Talk
The last time the precious metals were in the news was March of 2008.
The Future of Silver, According to Adam Smith (1723-1790) was my attempt at humor after I began my lucrative Internet writing career.
David Morgan (www.silver-investor.com, one of the most respected newsletters in the industry) publishes an in-depth and comprehensive look at the micro and macro economics of the precious metal markets, read The Future of Silver and “thought my humor was terrific--.”
What follows is pure Unadulterated Unverified Mogamboism (UUM) and reflects my views on the future of silver and the planet. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. Since Adam Smith or the Silver Smarty Pants (SSP) never agreed to a Mind-ray scan, neither of them could endorse these views, which may or may not prove to be correct. This was my attempt at humor released December 2008.
[Breaking News: November 9, 2010: 'JPMorgan traders bragged about manipulating the silver market' (in 2008), informant says is discussed in this article.
Robert Singer, proclaimed a Junior Mogambo Ranger (JMR) in 2008 interviews Adam Smith, telepathically.
I got out my new Matrix Mind-ray Scanner, delivered before The Sharper Image and our way of life filed for bankruptcy and Googled “who is the founding father of economics”.
Results: Richard Cantillon, Alexander Hamilton and Adam Smith.
I never heard of Cantillion and Hamilton is the father of Crony Capitalism.
I selected Adam Smith and set the device on “Interview”:
Adam: I hear the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is finally taking the Silver Smarty Pants (SSP) seriously.
The Money Party Deficit Reduction Scam and Social Security
Michael Collins
President Obama announced the new National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform on February 18 to address astronomical federal budget deficits. There has been considerable speculation that this commission will target current and future benefits for Social Security recipients to achieve its goals.
Why would this be the case? We need look no further than the treatment of major retirement funds over the past 20 years to get the answer. When the mob needed cash, it looted the Teamsters retirement fund. When large corporations or government entities get in trouble, they effectively borrow from their employee retirement funds by delaying required payments or otherwise gaming the programs. This provides a source of ready cash, a quick vehicle to cover management errors, or jack up their bonuses.
Think of the Social Security Trust Fund (trust fund) as the most lucrative retirement fund in the country, the ultimate pot of gold, and you'll immediately understand why it is that for decades, big business has plundered the trust fund. How does this happen?
The Parcel Bomb Plot—Al-Qaeda’s Gift to Israel
Maidhc Ó Cathail
While Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) may have claimed responsibility for the parcel bomb plot, it’s worth considering how this latest Yemen-linked terror scare has been a gift to their avowed enemies.
A mere two weeks before the discovery of mail bombs addressed to “two places of Jewish worship in Chicago,” Rupert Murdoch sounded prescient as he received an award from the Anti-Defamation League for his support of Israel. “The terrorists continue to target Jews across the world,” declared the media mogul in his acceptance speech. “But they have not succeeded in bringing down the Israeli government—and they have not weakened Israeli resolve.” Equating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism, the Fox News owner smeared the growing worldwide condemnation of Israel’s rogue behaviour as an “ongoing war against the Jews.”
