Gallup: Unemployment Went Up — Again — in August

The U.S. unemployment rate increased in August, according to the Gallup polling company, which surveys approximately 30,000 people each month about their employment status.

By Gallup’s calculation, unemployment was 8.8 percent at the end of July and rose to 9.1 percent by the end of August. At the end of June, it was 8.7 percent.

Gallup’s unemployment rate differs slightly from the federal government’s. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the federal agency that calculates the government’s official unemployment rate), the unemployment rate was 9.1 percent in July. The BLS is scheduled to report its calculation of the national unemployment for August tomorrow.

Gallup is predicting that tomorrow's BLS report will also show that unemployment went up in August—unless so many unemployed people became discouraged during the month and stopped seeking jobs so that they are no longer calculated as part of the national workforce by the federal government, or unless the government makes an "unusual" seasonal adjustment to the unemployment numbers.

“This data further confirm Gallup's mid-month prediction that the August unemployment rate that the government will report Friday will be higher than the 9.1% it reported in July--barring another sizable decline in the U.S. workforce or an unusual seasonal adjustment,” said Gallup’s Chief Economist Dennis Jacobe in his analysis of Gallup’s unemployment numbers.

Evidence Suggests Cover-Up in ATF Scandal, as More Guns Appear at Crime Scenes

Fox News
August 2, 2011

Just hours after the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, federal officials tried to cover up evidence that the gun that killed Terry was one the government intentionally helped sell to the Mexican cartels in a weapons trafficking program known as Operation Fast and Furious.

The revelation comes just days after a huge shake-up of government officials who oversaw the failed anti-gun trafficking program and Congress renewed its demand for more answers.

Also late Thursday, Sen. Charles Grassley's office revealed that 21 more Fast and Furious guns have been found at violent crime scenes in Mexico. That is up from 11 the agency admitted just last month.

Four Years Later: The Kennebunkport Warning of August 2007 Confirmed by Dick Cheney in his New Autobiography

This week marks the fourth anniversary of the Kennebunkport Warning, whose text the reader will find elsewhere on this web site, together with related documentation. The Kennebunkport Warning of late August 2007 sought to prevent a false flag terror operation designed by the US-UK rogue network to facilitate an attack on Iran and/or Syria. Today, four years later, world events have come full circle, and we must once again be on guard for a new and wider war in the same region. This might take the form of an attack by Turkey on Syria, organized in advance with the NATO command and occurring under the cover story of events inside Syria, where an uprising of armed commandos of the Moslem Brotherhood now appears to have been largely quelled by the Syrian Army.

In order to attack Syria without being portrayed as an aggressor, Turkey will need a better pretext. Given the traditions of NATO, it is likely that an attempt will be made to furnish such a pretext in the form of a false flag terror event inside Turkey to be blamed on Syria or Hezbollah, or in the form of an staged Gulf of Tonkin incident to permit the charge that Syria attacked Turkey first. Or, a large massacre of Moslem Brotherhood supporters inside Syria could be carried out in reality or merely simulated on a Hollywood set in Doha, Qatar, to motivate an invasion based on humanitarian grounds.

Cheney’s June 2007 Demand for an Attack on Syria

Dick Cheney
Former US Vice President Dick Cheney is about to publish his autobiography, In My Time. Here, according to pre-publication press accounts, Cheney describes his June 2007 attempt to convince Bush to launch a bombing attack on Syria over the alleged Syrian nuclear program. Cheney says that he raised the issue, apparently at a meeting of the National Security Council. Bush asked if there was any support for the idea, and there was none. So, Cheney’s attempt to launch the attack on Syria by way of legal and institutional channels failed.
Here is part of Cheney’s account:
“‘I again made the case for US military action against the reactor,’ Mr. Cheney writes of a June 2007 White House meeting on the issue. ‘But I was a lone voice. After I finished, the President asked, ‘Does anyone here agree with the Vice-President?’ Not a single hand went up around the room.” In the event, the site was destroyed three months later by Israeli warplanes.” (London Independent, August 26, 2011, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/cheney-tried-to-persuade-president-bush-to-bomb-syria-2344112.html)

Cheney does not relate in his book what happened then. The US rogue network (variously referred to as invisible government, secret government, parallel government, or deep state – of which Cheney is a spokesman, operative, or appendage), having been rebuffed by the legal government in the form of the Bush NSC, characteristically sought to carry out the desired attack anyway, by illegal means.
It was around July 21, 2007 that I posted on the internet an article entitled “Cheney Determined to Strike in US.” This article became the headline story on the front page of the Rock Creek Free Press, and was thus widely distributed in boxes all over Washington DC, especially around Metro stations.
During August 2007, “Cheney Determined to Strike in US” was a very accurate description of the central political reality. This is what Cheney has now confirmed for us in his autobiography.

The Rogue B-52, Hijacked by the Parallel Government

Rogue network personnel embedded in the US Air Force hijacked a US Air Force B-52 intercontinental strategic bomber equipped with six nuclear-armed cruise missiles and flew it from Minot AFB in Colorado to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, the latter being the main point of departure for US flights to the Middle East. This flight was made totally outside of the command and control procedures of the US Air Force; it was an invisible government operation. It is clear that this rogue B-52 was intended to join the Israeli attack on Syria, which did in fact occur at the end of the first week of September, 2007.

Fortunately, the flight of this hijacked rogue B-52 towards the Middle East was blocked on the runway at Barksdale. This was done partly by rival intelligence factions, whose clash enveloped official Washington in a test of wills. In the end, the neocon faction was defeated, and the Brzezinski faction gained the upper hand.
In the background, it is entirely possible that the Kennebunkport Warning, for which signatures had been organized by Bruce Marshall and others, was on its way to being posted on over 110,000 websites, contributed something to blocking the flight of the rogue B-52.

In the wake of these events, a number of individuals and web sites in the 9/11 truth movement outdid themselves in condemning not the faction behind Cheney, but rather the Kennebunkport Warning and its supporters. They should have been agitating for an immediate investigation of the rogue B-52, which might have exposed some of the tentacles of the rogue network, which has remained more or less untouched. By their actions, these individuals and web sites helped usher in the substantial collapse of the 9/11 truth movement, which largely fell apart during 2008 and 2009.

The following summary of issues around the Kennebunkport Warning, written in October 2007, sums up the lessons of these events. Continue reading Four Years Later: The Kennebunkport Warning of August 2007 Confirmed by Dick Cheney in his New Autobiography

Study Points to WTC Cancer Link

DEVLIN BARRETT AND NIKKI WALLERWall Street Journal
September 1, 2011

Firefighters who worked at Ground Zero are 19% more likely to have cancer than their colleagues who did not work at the site, according to newly published research that could pave the way for government payments to those suffering from some types of cancer.

The research marks the first substantive findings on the difficult question of whether working at the World Trade Center site increased cancer risk. For years, firefighters, police officers and construction workers have argued that there is overwhelming anecdotal evidence that work at Ground Zero caused cancer, while researchers continue to caution that it will take 20 or 40 years to prove such a link.

Published in the Sept. 3 issue of the Lancet, the research led by Dr. David Prezant, the head doctor for the New York Fire Department, concludes that an association between World Trade Center exposure and cancer is “biologically plausible” due to findings of “a modest excess of cancer in exposed firefighters.”

The study’s authors also cautioned against drawing broader conclusions, saying it would be wrong to assume that because cancer is more likely among World Trade Center firefighters, it is also more likely among other groups of people exposed to the site.

Dollar Declines After Employment Report Amid Bets Fed Will Act

The greenback headed for its first weekly loss in a month versus the franc amid speculation the Fed may introduce a third round of asset purchases, or quantitative easing, which would debase the U.S. currency.
Washington Post
August 2, 2011

Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar weakened versus the yen and Swiss franc as investors bet the Federal Reserve will take further steps to stimulate growth after U.S. employment unexpectedly stagnated in August.
The greenback headed for its first weekly loss in a month versus the franc amid speculation the Fed may introduce a third round of asset purchases, or quantitative easing, which would debase the U.S. currency.

The euro was poised for a five-day loss on concern Europe’s debt crisis is worsening. The Swiss currency rose versus all of its 16 most-traded peers on demand for a refuge from a slowing global economy.

“This number couldn’t get any worse; the non-farm payrolls report makes QE3 in September a near certainty,” said Kathy Lien, director of currency research at the online currency trader GFT Forex in New York. “This number was abysmally weak.”

The dollar fell 0.2 percent to 76.78 yen at 9:24 a.m. in New York, from 76.93 yesterday. It slumped as much as 3.1 percent versus the franc, the biggest drop since Aug. 9, the day the Fed pledged to keep interest rates near zero until 2013, to 77.12 centimes. The euro fell 2 percent to 1.1121 per franc.

The Dollar Index, which IntercontinentalExchange Inc. uses to track the greenback against the currencies of six major U.S. trade partners including the euro and yen, gained 0.3 percent to 74.6659, compared with 74.479 yesterday. It touched 74.714 yesterday, the highest level since Aug. 12.

The tragedy of the too big to fail banking sector – over $1 trillion in deposits are over the $250,000 FDIC limit. $6.5 trillion in insured deposits backed by $3.9 billion.

MyBudget360.com
August 30, 2011

It is amazing how much ill placed faith is thrown into the current banking system when there is plenty of evidence of insatiable malfeasance.  The FDIC recently released its quarterly banking report and somehow dismal information was twisted as being positive.  Take for example the reality that $6.5 trillion in insured deposits are backed by $3.9 billion.  Does this give anyone any comfort?  What is even more staggering is you have $1 trillion in deposits above the $250,000 FDIC protection limit riding it out with absolutely no protection.  The banking sector is going to face dramatic problems ahead because the past issues of bad loans have yet to be realized.  Sure, accounting trickery and fancy financial magic can buy you a few years but ultimately you have to come to terms with the deep issues in the balance sheet.  The FDIC is overseeing an industry with $13 trillion in “assets” and only carries a $3.9 billion insurance fund.  It appears the wizard behind the curtain is blowing more smoke than ever.

$1 trillion in deposits with no protection
dodd-frank deposits
One of the upsetting revelations in the quarterly report is the fact that over $1 trillion in deposits are not insured by the $250,000 limit.  Most of these deposits are placed in the too big to fail institutions.  As you can see from the table above, the U.S. has over 7,500 banking institutions but only 19 with over $100 billion in assets.  Incredibly, these are the most problematic banks as well.  The vast majority of these deposits are simply out to sea with no sail.  This only brings up the issue of potentially more bailouts as if the trillions of dollars given to the banking sector were not enough already.  Look at how well the bailouts have helped the wilting economy.

"Peace Peace, when there is no Peace"

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
August 29, 2011



According to a CNS News Report on August 22, 2011:President Barack Obama said Monday Muammar Gaddafi’s rule in Libya is “over,” but added that the dictator of four decades could prevent further bloodshed in the country by formally calling on regime proponents to stop the violence.

In the broadcast above you will hear President Obama call for "peace" in the region - that is only after carrying out a UN Resolution to go in and topple Gaddafi from rule in Libya, all with the help of "revolutionary forces wanting "freedom and democracy" (better known as Al qeada aka Al CIA -Duh!)
It reminded my of a few choice scriptures in the Bible I thought I would share:


For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies;
your tongue mutters wickedness.
eNo one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
fthey conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
They hatch adders' eggs;
they weave the spider's web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
and from one that is crushed a viper is hatched.
gTheir webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.
hTheir feet run to evil,
and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.
The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
ino one who treads on them knows peace.
-Isaiah 59:3-8


“For from the least to the greatest of them,
everyone ais greedy for unjust gain;
and from bprophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
14 They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
saying, c‘Peace, peace,’
dwhen there is no peace.
15 eWere they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
fat the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,”
says Yahweh.
-Jeremiah 6: 13-15


wWe looked for peace, but no good came;
for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
-Jeremiah 8:15

10 Precisely because they have misled my people, ksaying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, lthese prophets smear it with whitewash,1
-Ezekiel 13:10

25 rBy his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind she shall become great. and by peace he shall destroy many. And he sshall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but uby no human hand.
-Daniel 8:25

'This is a transcript of two out of three tapes on the "New World System." Tapes one and two were recorded in 1988 and are the recollections of Dr. Lawrence Dunegan regarding a lecture he attended on March 20, 1969 at a meeting of the Pittsburgh Paediatric Society. The lecturer at that gathering of paediatricians (identified in tape three recorded in 1991) was a Dr. Richard Day (who died in 1989). At the time, Dr. Day was Professor of Paediatrics at Mount Sinai Medical School in New York. Previously he had served as Medical Director of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
 
 
Dr. Dunegan was formerly a student of Dr. Day at the University of Pittsburgh and was well acquainted with him, though not intimately. He describes Dr. Day as an insider of the "Order" and although Dr. Dunegan's memory was somewhat dimmed by the intervening years, he is able to provide enough details of the lecture to enable any enlightened person to discern the real purposes behind the trends of our time. This is a transcript of a loose, conversational monologue that makes for better listening than reading.'

Children herded like cattle into Maryland courthouse for forced vaccinations as armed police and attack dogs stand guard

Natural News
August 28, 2011
(NaturalNews) Following the State of Maryland's threats against parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated, children were herded into a Price George County courthouse being guarded by armed personnel with attack dogs. Inside, the children were forcibly vaccinated, many against their will, under orders from the State Attorney General, various State Judges and the local School Board Director, all of whom illegally conspired to threaten parents with imprisonment if they did not submit their children to vaccinations.

The State of Maryland has now turned to Gestapo tactics to force its medical will upon the People, stripping parents of any right to decide how they wish to protect their own children from infectious disease. Health authorities there have already announced their intent to essentially kidnap parents and throw them in jail, removing them from their children for up to thirty days if they continue to refuse to have their children vaccinated. This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready, making sure nobody steps out of line, and suppressing any attempt at public dissent against the Orwellian vaccination policies.

The entire campaign against these parents is blatantly illegal. There is no law in Maryland requiring the vaccination of children, thus parents who refuse to do so may not be legally charged with violating any law. Instead, Maryland health and school authorities are using Gestapo-like tactics, threatening to charge the parents with child truancy violations, criminalizing them for daring to protect their children from the dangerous chemicals found in vaccines (including thimerosal, a chemical additive containing a neurotoxic form of mercury).
