Is Obama Really Preparing For Civil War?

December 11, 2009


Even one of Goldman’s poster-boys, Henry Paulson, US Treasury secretary and former Goldman CEO, admitted that the American people were fed up.

 
According to an obscure report in the European Union Times (EUTimes.net), “Russian Military Analysts are reporting to Prime Minister Putin that US President Barack Obama has issued an order to his Northern Command’s (USNORTHCOM) top leader, US Air Force General Gene Renuart, to ‘begin immediately’ increasing his military forces to 1 million troops by January 30, 2010, in what these reports warn is an expected outbreak of civil war within the United States before the end of winter.

“According to these reports, Obama has had over these past weeks ‘numerous’ meetings with his war council abut how best to manage the expected implosion of his Nation’s banking system while at the same time attempting to keep the United States military hegemony over the World in what Russian Military Analysts state is a ‘last ditch gambit’ whose success is ‘far from certain.’”




The EU Times article continues by saying, “To the fears of Obama over the United States erupting into civil war once the full extent of the rape and pillaging of these peoples by their banks and government becomes known to them, grim evidence now shows the likelihood of this occurring much sooner than later.”



The Times story goes on to say that there are “over 220 million American people armed to the teeth and ready to explode.”



The Times article concludes by saying, “Though the coming civil war in the United States is being virtually ignored by their propaganda media, the same cannot be said of Russia, where leading Russian political analyst, Professor Igor Panarin has long warned that the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the US is heading for collapse.”

Ron Paul: Statement Introducing Free Competition In Currency Act

Posted December 10th, 2009 by DC


Statement Introducing the Free Competition in Currency Act

Ron Paul
December 9, 2009



Madame Speaker, I rise to introduce the Free Competition in Currency Act of 2009. Currency, or money, is what allows civilization to flourish. In the absence of money, barter is the name of the game; if the farmer needs shoes, he must trade his eggs and milk to the cobbler and hope that the cobbler needs eggs and milk. Money makes the transaction process far easier. Rather than having to search for someone with reciprocal wants, the farmer can exchange his milk and eggs for an agreed-upon medium of exchange with which he can then purchase shoes.



This medium of exchange should satisfy certain properties: it should be durable, that is to say, it does not wear out easily; it should be portable, that is, easily carried; it should be divisible into units usable for every-day transactions; it should be recognizable and uniform, so that one unit of money has the same properties as every other unit; it should be scarce, in the economic sense, so that the extant supply does not satisfy the wants of everyone demanding it; it should be stable, so that the value of its purchasing power does not fluctuate wildly; and it should be reproducible, so that enough units of money can be created to satisfy the needs of exchange.



Over millennia of human history, gold and silver have been the two metals that have most often satisfied these conditions, survived the market process, and gained the trust of billions of people. Gold and silver are difficult to counterfeit, a property which ensures they will always be accepted in commerce. It is precisely for this reason that gold and silver are anathema to governments. A supply of gold and silver that is limited in supply by nature cannot be inflated, and thus serves as a check on the growth of government. Without the ability to inflate the currency, governments find themselves constrained in their actions, unable to carry on wars of aggression or to appease their overtaxed citizens with bread and circuses.

Empire of Oil: The Hidden History of 9/11

Empire of Oil: The Hidden History of 9/11 (Video)

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny

Empire of Oil: The Hidden History of 9/11  is a Documentary found on Google Videos, and was Produced by Aidan Monaghan. First off, I want to say that the Documentary shows the true agenda behind the 9/11 attack and the wars in the Middle East. I have written out the entire text of the film, and have attached links to the information in hopes of convincing those who might be skeptical of the findings of the 9/11 Commission's Report. Once you read this for yourself, and watch the Documentary, you will never feel the same about our government.

Editor's Note: I have added to this timeline in order to clarify or give additional information. In one instance I corrected the year of the timeline from the Documentary that was a "Typo" (The film has the date of the Iraq Invasion as January 17, 1990- it should be January 17, 1991).

At Least 40 Protesters Seized In Copenhagen

SKY NEWS.COM
1:45pm UK, Friday December 11, 2009



Emma Rowley, Sky News Online



At least 40 people have been detained during the first street protests surrounding the Copenhagen climate talks.
 
Demonstrators were seized by police as about 200 people rallied in Denmark's capital.         

The protest came as corporate bigwigs met in the city to discuss the role of businesses in the fight against global warming.

The talk was one of many events arranged as an adjunct to the main two-week UN conference, which is ongoing.
Protesters banged drums and chanted: "Mind your business, this is our climate."





This world deal at Copenhagen must be ambitious, global, comprehensive (and) legally binding within six months.






-Prime Minister Gordon Brown

One demonstrator said: "It's very important that we are here and that we show to the rulers and to the governors that what they are doing is not what we want.

"And they sell the climate theme everyday and they will sell it in Copenhagen as well and we want to put against that, another alternative."

Negotiators at the conference are trying to broker a global agreement to cut emissions of greenhouse gases and help poor countries cope with climate change.

Police spokesman Henrik Moeller Nielsen said the detentions were preventative and there were no reports of violence.

Meanwhile, Gordon Brown announced that Britain is to provide at least £1.5bn towards a fund to fast-track efforts to combat global warming.

The Prime Minister, who will next week attend the summit alongside other world leaders, said: "This world deal at Copenhagen must be ambitious, global, comprehensive (and) legally binding within six months."




Copenhagen: Leaders Convene for Final stages Toward World Government

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

December 7,2009

By Mark Matheny

The Copenhagen Conspiracy on Climate Control convenes this week, and the true agenda behind the scam is world government-plain and simple.

This week's Copenhagen conference marks another step toward world government as 192 nations come together in Copenhagen to carry out vital stages toward draining the wealthier nations of wealth, and instituting international regulations upon those countries, which will also affect every individual within those countries. There are 110 world leaders who are attending this summit, with plans to agree to deep cuts in "green house gas emissions" for the rich by the year 2020, and supposedly to also raise billions of dollars for the poor in aid.

The real plan is far more sinister however, a plan that sounds like something out of the book, 1984, by George Orwell. Today's meeting actually traces back to 1972, when economic development and environmental degradation was placed on the international agenda at the UN conference on  the Human environment, which was held at that time in Stockholm. Shortly after, governments set up the United Nations Environment Programme, or (UNEP). UNEP was set up to begin the process of establishing "protection of the environment" according to the programme itself, but the true agenda is really to reduce the world's population, and to erase all sovereign bounderies from countries in order to create a world governing body under the term "global governance".

In 1992, in Rio de Janiero, the UN Conference on Environment and Developement was held where 108 heads of state or government brought about three major agreements which would aim at achieving three major objectives toward world government:
  • Agenda 21- this would ba a comprehensive plan of action globally, in all areas of 'sustainable development'.
  • The Rio Declaration on Environment and development- this would be a series of principles defining rights and responsiblilities of states.
  • The Statement of Forest Principles- a set of principles to underlie the sustainable management of forests worldwide.
But it didn't stop here. there were also two legally binding conventions aimed at bringing measures to prevent the bogus "global warming" or "climate change", and the eradication of the diversity of biological species.

The globalists bent on total enslavement of the world's population have contrived the idea of a "global environmental threat" to replace the "cold war threat", and through these summits hope to impose a Global Carbon Tax. Through the "Statement of Forest Principles" they  are taking control of all of our national forests and parks  renamed as "Boispheres- which are to be set aside to protect forests- or so they say. The real plan is to ultimately set up buffer zones around the Biospheres, in which human movement will be highly regulated. The goal for the U.S. will be to have only 50% of the land mass where any human movement will be very limited, and only 25% (of that 50% of land) on which humans will live, in highly regulated and control cities.

All activities will be monitored by civilian as well as environmental police.

Maurice Strong was the Secretary General who headed the UNCED meeting in 1992, and is one of several involved in this agenda to bring about a "New World Order". He is a senior advisor to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and former senior advisor to the President of the World Bank. He also served on the board of directors for the United Nation's Foundation. This UN-affiliated organization was established by another elitist-Ted Turner with an historic $1 billion dollar donation. Ted Turner of course would like to see the world's population drop to at least 2 billion total (there are about 6.5 billion currently). He has also said it should be as low as 250-300 million. This is similar to the Georgia guidestones in Georgia, which state that humanity should be at 500 million.
Maurice Strong, along with other elitists, understood that the richer countries of the world, which are sovereign and independent would not be willing to throw their riches into a global melting pot, or cast away the clothing of sovereignty to become a part of a Global Government unless they would be forced to do so through some sort of crisis. This crisis, he felt, would have to be an economic crisis.
"The rich countries won’t do it. They won’t change. [...] Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilization collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”


--Maurice Strong, co-creator of Kyoto Protocol
The United States would be the primary target of this plan for economic collapse and emergence into the New World Order. We are now experiencing the birth pangs of the New World Order being brought to life. In 2002 Maurice Strong stated in a meeting;


The tragic events of September 11th dramatically brought home to us that the phenomena we now refer to as globalization, which has opened up so many new and exciting opportunities, has also united us in facing a new generation of risks, imbalances and vulnerabilities. Risks to our personal security, the security of our homes, offices and communities and, more fundamentally, risks to the earth’s’ life-support systems on which the survival and well being of the entire human family depends. These risks and vulnerabilities are inextricably linked through the complex, systemic processes of globalization by which human activities are shaping our common future. They cannot be understood or dealt with in isolation. Nor can they be managed alone by any nation, however powerful. Indeed, they require a degree of cooperation beyond anything we seem yet prepared to accept.

Statement of Maurice F. Strong,

Chairman Earth Council Foundation
at hearing of the United States Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works
and the Committee on Foreign Relations
on July 24, 2002

One thing you will notice about the globalist agenda for a "New World Order" is a common theme of engineered crisis in order to bring about this world government. (Here are just three- I'm sure there are more to this)

  • The environmental crisis called  "Global warming" or "Climate change" which is being engineered through false information, and media hysterics.
  • The Terror Crisis which was engineered through the 9/11 False Flag operation to bring about a Police State here in the United States, and to take control of the Middle East.
  • The financial crisis which was brought about through a manufactured "subprime mortgage" crisis when US banks gave out high risk loans to people with poor credit histories. These loans and other loans, bonds, and assets were bundled into portfolios-collateralised Debt Obligations(CDOs)-and sold globally to investors.
When housing prices started to fall (remember, many mortgage companies were inflating appraisals to get better commissions) and interest rates began to rise, many families could not afford to pay their mortgages.
This then brought on a "domino effect" as investors started to suffer losses, they became reluctant to take on more CDOs and credit markets froze as banks became reluctant to lend to other banks, unsure how many toxic loans might be on their rivals' books. To make a long story short, this leads to bailouts and bancrupty, and a failing dollar as the reserve currency of the world, which in then turns into G20 Summit meetings and monetary reforms on a global scale.

As for the Copenhagen meetings, these stem from the environmentally contrived crisis in order to bring about the last stages of America's decline as a republic and as an independent nation in order to transfer the wealth of the U.S. to other countries.

The International Monetary Fund has therefore been the subject in the G20 meetings, in order to transform
...the IMF into,virtually, a global Federal Reserve system, with vast new monetary and regulatory powers-and huge new infusions of cash to be provided principally, as usual, by the citizens of the United States, Japan, and Europe 

The IMF would also
...assume a central role in monitoring and regulation of global financial markets,and greatly expand Communist China's influence in the IMF structure.[1]
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director for the IMF stated the the world economic crisis stemmed from the richer countries mistakes, and therefore would need to support their poorer neighbors. This was stated in a press release issued September 17,2009. Of course the money given out by the IMF to these poorer countries never seems to help those underdeveloped countries to become better developed! As G. Edward Griffin once stated about the IMF
" the International Monetary Fund gives money to these inefficient dictators of the third world countries, and makes them into efficient dictators!" (Paraphrased) [2]
The IMF acts in cooperation with the World Bank. In The Creature from Jekyl Island, G. Edward Griffin explains the true role, or the hidden agenda of the IMF and  World Bank as instruments to bring about socialism

Although most of the policy statements of the world Bank deal with economic issues, a close monitoring of its activities reveal a preoccupation with social and political issues. This should not be surprising considering that the Bank was percieved by its founders as an instrument for social and political change. The change which it was designed to bring about was the building of world socialism, and that is exactly what it is accomplishing today. This hidden agenda becomes crystal clear in the nature of what the Bank calls Sectoral Loans and Structural-Adjustment Loans. In the first category, only part of the money is to be used for the costs of specific projects while the rest goes to support policy changes in the economic sector. In the second group, all of the money is for policy changes and none of it is for projects. In recent years, almost half of the loans to underdeveloped countries have been in that category. What are the policy changes that are the object of these loans? They add up to one thing: the building of world socialism. Pg 96.

What do you think will be done with all the money brought into the IMF and World Bank with the passing of legislation which will bring about a global Carbon Tax? Will they use it to reduce carbon emmission? Will they use funds given to the third world countries to bring developement and better living conditions? Again we will look at the track record of the IMF and world Bank to see what a marvelous job they have already achieved. Take for example Africa, where billions have gone for "development" from the International Monetary Fund into the hands of dictators
Nowhere is the pattern more blatant than in Africa. Julius Nyerere, the dictator of Tanzania, is notorious for his "villagization" program in which the army has driven the peasants from their land, burned their huts, and loaded them like cattle into trucks for relocation into government villages. The purpose is to eliminate opposition by bringing everyone into compounds where they can be watched and controlled.Meanwhile the economy staggers, farms have gone to weed, and hunger is commonplace.Yet, Tanzania has recieved more aid per capita from the World Bank than any other nation. (Emphasis mine)
In Uganda, government security forces have engaged in mass detentions, torture, and killing of prisoners. The same is true under the terrorist government in Zimbabwe. Yet, both regimes continue to be the recipients of millions of dollars in World Bank Funding.  (Emphasis mine)
The IMF was represented in Zimbabwe at the time by Michel Camdessus, the Governor of the central bank of France, and a former finance minister in fransois Mitterand's Socialist government. After being informed of Zimbabwe's plan to confiscate additional land and to resettle the people to work on those lands, Camdessus agreed to a loan valued at 42 billion rands with full knowledge that much of it would be used for  the resttlement project. (Emphasis mine). [3]

So how does the IMF tie into the summit at Copenhagen? According to France24.com, IMF experts said on Friday, just days before the Copenhagen Summit, that a global pact would help the world's poorest who face the worst effects of rising temperatures. "Greater climate resilience can promote macroeconomic stability and alleviate poverty," Michael Keen and Benjamin Jones of the Global lender's fiscal affairs department wrote in a staff position note.

Ken Ewert explains in his book, The International Monetary Fund, how conditions imposed by the IMF through "macroeconomics" or "macro-policies" are seldom free-market oriented.

The Fund concentrates on "macro-policies," such as fiscal and monetary policies or exchange rates, and pays little attention to fundemental issues like private property rights and freedom of enterprise. Implicit... is the belief that with proper "macromanagement" any economic system is viable....Even more important, it has allowed governments of the world over to expropriate the wealth of their citizens more efficiently (throught the hidden tax of inflation)while at the same time aggrandizing their own power.There is little doubt that the IMF is an influence for world-wide socialism. [4]


Clear and simple, the Summit in Copenhagen seeks to put another nail in the coffin off sovereign nation-states, and to drain the wealth of the richer countries, while giving more power to the UN, IMF, and the World Bank, in order to usher in the agenda of the ages- a New World Order.

Now we can see a new world coming into view. A world in which there is a very real prospect of a new world order. In the words of Winston Churchill, a "world order" in which "the true principles of justice and fair play...protect the weak against the strong..." A world where the United Nations, freed from a cold war stalemate, is poised to fulfil the historic vision of its founders." -George Bush Sr. 1991

EPA says greenhouse gases are harmful and must be regulated

FEDERALJACK.COM
CONSPIRACY IS NO LONGER THEORY

December 7, 2009
by POPEYE

Announcement comes as Obama prepares to attend climate conference.


(MSNBC) WASHINGTON – The Environmental ProtectionAgency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people’s health and must be regulated, signaling that the Obama administration is prepared to contain global warming without congressional action if necessary.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson scheduled a news conference for later Monday to announce the so-called endangerment finding, officials told The Associated Press, speaking privately because the announcement had not been made.

The finding is timed to boost the administration’s arguments at an international climate conference — beginning this week — that the United States is aggressively taking actions to combat global warming, even though Congress has yet to act on climate legislation.

President Barack Obama plans to talk with former Vice President Al Gore at the White House on Monday as the president prepares for his appearance on Dec. 18 at the climate summit in Copenhagen. Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work toward combatting climate change.

Obama is also meeting on Wednesday with environmental leaders and U.S. business leaders to discuss climate change.

Under a Supreme Court ruling, the finding of endangerment is needed before the EPA can regulate carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases released from power plants, factories and automobiles under the federal Clean Air Act.

The EPA signaled last April that it was inclined to view heat-trapping pollution as a threat to public health and welfare and began to take public comments under a formal rulemaking. The action marked a reversal from the Bush administration, which had declined to aggressively pursue the issue.

Business groups have strongly argued against tackling global warming through the regulatory process of the Clean Air Act. Any such regulations are likely to spawn lawsuits and lengthy legal fights.

Waiting for Congress to act

The EPA and the White House have said regulations on greenhouse gases will not be imminent even after an endangerment finding, saying that the administration would prefer that Congress act to limit such pollution through an economy-wide cap on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Nevertheless, the EPA has begun the early stages of developing permit requirements on carbon dioxide pollution from large emitters such as power plants. The administration also has said it will require automobile fuel economy to increase to a fleet average of 35 miles per gallon by 2016, another push to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The EPA’s readiness to tackle climate change is expected to give a boost to U.S. arguments at the climate conference opening in Copenhagen this week that the United States is making broad commitments to reduce greenhouse gases.

While the House has approved climate legislation that would cut emissions by 17 percent by 2020 and about 80 percent by mid-century, the Senate has yet to take up the measure amid strong Republican opposition and reluctance by some centrist Democrats.

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., lead author of the Senate bill, has argued that if Congress doesn’t act, the EPA will require greenhouse gas emissions. He has called EPA regulation a “blunt instrument” that would pose a bigger problem for industry than legislation crafted to mitigate some of the costs of shifting away from carbon emitting fossil fuels.

The way was opened for the EPA to use the Clean Air Act to cut climate-changing emissions by the Supreme Court in 2007, when the court declared that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are pollutants under the Act. But the court said the EPA must determine if these pollutants pose a danger to public health and welfare before it can regulate them.

Richard Gage's Auckland, NZ Presentation Silences The Debunkers

Dec 2, 2009
— Clare Swinney
911Blogger.com


On Monday the 30th of November, Richard Gage, AIA of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, gave his third and final presentation in New Zealand on the Hard Evidence Down Under Tour, to an audience of 143 in Auckland, at the Trades Hall in Grey Lynn.


Says Martin Hanson who had also attended Gage's Wellington presentation of the 21st of November, which had had over 630 attendees, "The Trades Hall was full except for two or three empty seats."

The event began shortly after 6pm and lasted for 3 hours. A show of hands at the beginning indicated that the audience was comprised largely of people who already knew the official story of 9/11 was a hoax. Only 11 indicated that they believed the WTC buildings were brought down by jet fuel and fires, while 18 indicated they were unsure.

Evan Ward, who was recording the event said: "Richard Gage was very professional. The presentation was down-to-earth and in layman's language, so the information was accessible to most anybody." Ward, who has been investigating the evidence of 9/11 for approximately 3 years, said he also had learnt something new.

Brian Reiersen, who was in the audience offers: "The information Gage presented was very hard to argue with. It was very, very good. I couldn't fault what he had to say and any reasonable person shown this on TV would realise, given the free-fall nature of the collapses, that the Twin Towers and Building 7 of the World Trade Centre, were brought down with explosives. Richard Gage proved it."

Barack Obama raises hopes of carbon breakthrough

Amanda Hodge,
 South Asia correspondent From: The Australian
 December 07, 2009 12:00AM


ELEVENTH-HOUR compromises by two of the world's top climate polluters have raised hopes of a breakthrough at the Copenhagen summit starting today, with US President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh agreeing at the weekend to attend the leaders' meeting.

Mr Obama announced early on Saturday that he would defer his visit to the conference to its final scheduled day -- when leaders from more than 80 nations are expected to meet -- encouraged by both India's and China's decisions to set greenhouse gas emission-reduction targets.

He also committed the US to paying "its fair share" of a proposed $US10 billion a year, short-term finance package to help poor countries develop cleaner energy sources.

"Providing this assistance is not only a humanitarian imperative -- it's an investment in our common security, as no climate change accord can succeed if it does not help all countries reduce their emissions," the White House said in a statement.

Mr Obama had discussed the proposed fund with leaders from Australia, Germany, France and Britain and concluded there was "an emerging consensus that a core element of the Copenhagen accord should be to mobilise $US10 billion a year by 2012", the White House added.


The US President had earlier planned to stop in at Copenhagen on December 9 while en route to collecting his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway. But his weekend change of heart prompted New Delhi also to confirm Mr Singh's attendance at the 12-day summit, where thousands of delegates have gathered to broker a new emissions pact to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.

China's Premier, Wen Jiabao, has already said he will attend.

The conciliatory moves followed Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh's announcement last Thursday that India would slow greenhouse emissions growth (or reduce carbon intensity) by 20-25 per cent of 2005 levels by 2020 and consider allowing international verification of its progress.

China and the US together are the world's top two climate polluters, responsible for 40 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. India is ranked fourth or fifth, but its greenhouse contributions are tipped to rise steeply.

Australia remains the world's highest per-capita producer of carbon dioxide.

Most leaders now acknowledge that the Copenhagen meeting will most likely result in an interim political deal and a promise to reconvene next year, rather than the previously hoped-for binding international treaty.

But the White House said it believed it was still possible to conclude a "meaningful Copenhagen accord" in which all countries pledged to take immediate action to address climate change.

Environment lobbyists have welcomed the decisions by both Mr Singh and Mr Obama as a positive sign.

However, India's last-minute pledge to slow emissions growth has sparked a public spat between Mr Ramesh and two of India's top climate negotiators, who delayed their departure for Copenhagen at the weekend in protest.

The negotiators claimed the Environment Minister's statement last Thursday was a "huge departure" from India's previous position that it would not agree to binding emissions reductions, and accused India of "toeing the US line".

A former key government climate and energy adviser, Surya Sethi, also ripped into Mr Ramesh at the weekend for trashing India's former negotiating position.

"While rubbishing India's earlier negotiating strategy, the minister has also negated a principle that has been enunciated by the Prime Minister repeatedly," he wrote in the Sunday Times of India, referring to the developed world's "historical responsibility" for global warming and the developing world's right to pursue economic growth.

Mr Ramesh insisted yesterday his announcement represented no major change to India's position and that the emissions-intensity reduction target was voluntary.

The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, has said that by 2020 anywhere from $US33bn to $US50bn will have to come directly from the public budgets of rich nations each year to help developing nations.
