(MOSCOW) -- Russia announced Tuesday that its armed forces in the east are on high alert. This comes in light of what it calls an "inadequate situation" on the Korean peninsula as tensions have increased in recent weeks between the North and South.
The head of Russia's military said they continue to follow what is happening and have taken measures to raise the forces' combat readiness.
On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov welcomed his North Korean counterpart to Moscow. In the meeting, Lavrov expressed concern with North Korea's ongoing uranium enrichment activities. He also condemned North Korea's attack on the South's Yeonpyeong Island, which has been the source of the recent increased tension.
South Korea's top nuclear official is on his way to Moscow to discuss the disclosure of North Korea's newest uranium enrichment facility and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island.
Russia joined the U.S. and others in condemning the November attack, which killed four people and brought about the highest tension on the peninsula in years.
The growing chasm between rich and poor in America

The shrinking of the American middle class is painful to watch. Shopping at the grocery store I’ve noticed more and more people with unique debit cards that don’t look like your typical debit or credit card. These are actually the modern day food stamps and help to take away the stigma of pulling out a pile of paper coupons. My anecdotal observations are confirmed by the data.
Since September of 2009 we have added a stunning 6,000,000 Americans to the nationwide food assistance program. In fact, even as some are touting how great things are in the last month we added 521,000 more Americans to the food assistance program. Let me reiterate, we added half a million Americans to the food assistance program in the latest month of data. Is this really what we have in mind as a recovery?
The latest data shows 43,000,000 Americans now receive food assistance. When we chart this data out it is rather startling.
You will notice that from 2000 onward the growth in food assistance participation has shot directly up:

Declassified Papers Show U.S. Recruited Ex-Nazis
 |
Reuters
The Nazi officer Klaus Barbie escaped to Bolivia; he and others got American help.
|
The New York Times
December 12, 2010
After World War II, American counterintelligence recruited former Gestapo officers, SS veterans and Nazi collaborators to an even greater extent than had been previously disclosed and helped many of them avoid prosecution or looked the other way when they escaped, according to thousands of newly declassified documents.
With the Soviet Union muscling in on Eastern Europe, “settling scores with Germans or German collaborators seemed less pressing; in some cases, it even appeared counterproductive,” said a government report published Friday by the National Archives.
“When the Klaus Barbie story broke, about his escaping with American help to Bolivia, we thought there weren’t any more stories like that, that Barbie was an exception,” said Norman J. W. Goda, a University of Florida professor and co-author of the report with Professor Richard Breitman of American University. “What we found in the record is that there were a fair number, and that it seems more systematic.”
In chilling detail, the report also elaborates on the close working relationship between Nazi leaders and the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who later claimed that he sought refuge in wartime Germany only to avoid arrest by the British.

‘Huge’ stock decline — but not yet
Commentary: Adens say near term looks good, but ‘mega trend’ looks grim
Dec. 13, 2010
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — An apocalyptic hard-money letter says party on — for now.
When I last checked with the Aden Forecast, the well-argued service edited by Costa Rican-based sisters Pamela and Mary Anne Aden, they were making one of their periodic tacks in the face of market conditions. ( See Oct. 18 column.) The Adens expect a hyperinflationary collapse — but they also have great respect for the Federal Reserve’s ability to stave off the end, short-term. And they concluded that market action was telling them the Fed has succeeded, again.
This combination of strategic insight and tactical flexibility has worked. Over the past 12 months, the Aden Forecast is up 17.9% by Hulbert Financial Digest, versus 12.6% for the dividend-reinvested Wilshire 5000 Total Stock Market Index. Over the past three years — which includes the Crash of 2008, remember — the letter is up 6.55% annualized versus negative 5.86% annualized for the total return Wilshire 5000.
And the Adens’ success is sustained. Over the past ten years, the letter was up an annualized 9.79%, versus 1.95% annualized for the total return Wilshire 5000.
Recently, the Adens explained their thinking on market signals. They began conventionally enough:
“It’s important to remember that the markets lead. They look ahead. They’re not reacting to what’s currently happening, but to what lies ahead and for now they’re telling us that better times are coming.”
Then they took an unusual twist:
“Also important, the markets usually take a more near-term view, looking out to the next few quarters or so. And they often don’t focus on the underlying fundamentals, especially when it comes to the very long mega trends, which overpower the near-term trends. But megatrends take years or decades to evolve. In the meantime, other factors will come to center stage, as we’re currently seeing [with Fed stimulation]”.

Daniel Ellsberg defends Ron Paul's statements concerning Wikileaks
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
December 12, 2010
It appears that our government is using Wikileaks as the skapegoat for the next phase of shutting down the internet alternative media, by accusing Julian Assange of espionage for simply uncovering information that may be more of an embarrassment to our government, than it is a threat to national security.(Here's just one of several examples and here)
Appearing on Countdown with Keith Olberman, Daniel Ellsberg, the man responsible for the release of the Pentagon papers agreed with Ron Paul's statements about Wikileaks, saying
Ellsberg spoke in reference to Congressman Ron Paul's address on the House floor in defense of Wikileaks, where he stated in part
In an interview with Chris Anderson of TED.com back in July of 2010, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange gave in almost prophetic tune, what could be the true reason behind the U.S. government's recent decision to shut down Wikileaks:
Chris Anderson: "Julian, welcome. It's been reported that Wikileaks, your baby, has um, in the last in the last few years, has released more classified documents than the rest of the world's media combined. Can that possibly be true?"
Julian Assange: "Yea, can it possibly be true? - it's a worry isn't it. That the rest of the world's media is doing such a bad job that a little group of activists is able to release more of that type of information than the rest of the world's press combined."
Why this is possible however, is the fact that the media is controlled by elite powers that never intend to release to the masses this type of information so damaging to their plans for world government, population reduction, feudalistic rule, etc.
A famous example of this came from the mouth of globalist David Rockefeller where he stated
The problem now facing those who once controlled the flow of information is what to do with the internet revolutionaries who are now exposing their sinister plot of a "Novus Ordo Seclorum".
Even Zbigniew Breszinski has recently admitted that the world is waking up politically.
If Wikileaks can be shut down, and Julian Assange tried as a spy espionage agent, then there will be a door opened for the government to shut down other sites that expose their treachery, under the "cyber security - homeland security - National security" mantra.
I have read reports that say Wikileaks is everything from the greatest patriotic site to one set up by the CIA. I will not try to pretend to know everything about the site or its founder, for I do not.
However, whether we know the full truth behind Wikileak's motives for releasing these documents, one thing is certain. We must defend them in their right to continue unabated - For in defending them, we defend ourselves.

Appearing on Countdown with Keith Olberman, Daniel Ellsberg, the man responsible for the release of the Pentagon papers agreed with Ron Paul's statements about Wikileaks, saying
" by the way, that's a fascinating clip you just did.. I agree with everything he said, he said it very well, I couldn't say it better, It's not the first time with Ron Paul. I often disagree with him on domestic policy... on foreign policy, on the constitution, on homeland security or invervention he speaks very well and I think what he just said was exactly right."
Ellsberg spoke in reference to Congressman Ron Paul's address on the House floor in defense of Wikileaks, where he stated in part
"The hysterical reaction makes one wonder if this is not an example of killing the messenger for the bad news. Despite what is claimed the information so far released, though classified, has caused no known harm to any individual, but it has caused plenty of embarassment to our government....It is not yet certain if the U.S. will indict Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, on spying charges. However, In an article by Media Matters, Post Columnist Larry Burris writes
The truth gained from the Pentagon papers revealed that lies were told about the Gulf of Tonkin attack...
just as with the Vietnam war, the Iraq war was based on lies. We were never threatened with weapons of mass destruction or Alqaeda in Iraq, though the attack on Iraq was based on this false information....
Do the American people deserve to know the truth regarding the ongoing war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen?...
Why is the hostility mostly directed at Assange the publisher, and not our government's failure to protect classified information?...
Which has resulted in the greatest number of deaths - Lying us into war? or Wikileaks revelations of the release of the Pentagon papers?"
We’re pretty sure Julian Assange knew exactly what he was doing when WikiLeaks began releasing thousands of secret diplomatic cables. Although he is wrong in his assessment that there is no need for secrecy, the repercussions and confusion have spread far and wide.First, there is little evidence he has broken any laws. The relevant statute, the Espionage Act of 1917, covers unauthorized release by government officials. And most of the cables do not deal with intelligence sources and methods, so that portion of the law doesn’t apply.What may really be a threat to both our government and the globalists bent on controlling the media in order to usher in a New World Order, however, is the fact that sites like Wikileaks are bringing hardcore and unedited truth to the masses - truth that is embarrassing and damaging to their agenda.
In an interview with Chris Anderson of TED.com back in July of 2010, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange gave in almost prophetic tune, what could be the true reason behind the U.S. government's recent decision to shut down Wikileaks:
Chris Anderson: "Julian, welcome. It's been reported that Wikileaks, your baby, has um, in the last in the last few years, has released more classified documents than the rest of the world's media combined. Can that possibly be true?"

Why this is possible however, is the fact that the media is controlled by elite powers that never intend to release to the masses this type of information so damaging to their plans for world government, population reduction, feudalistic rule, etc.
A famous example of this came from the mouth of globalist David Rockefeller where he stated
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings, and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government which will never again know war but only peace and prosperity for the whole of humanity." -David Rockefeller, June 5, 1991 speaking at a Bilderberg Meeting in Sand Germany
The problem now facing those who once controlled the flow of information is what to do with the internet revolutionaries who are now exposing their sinister plot of a "Novus Ordo Seclorum".
Even Zbigniew Breszinski has recently admitted that the world is waking up politically.
"for the first time, in all of human history, mankind is politically awakened. That's a total new reality ... it has not been so for most of human history until the last one hundred years ... and in the course of the last one hundred years, the whole world has become politically awakened. And no matter where you go, politics is a matter of social engagement, and most people know what is generally going on.."No doubt this has been due to the technology and relative ease by which the truth can be told through sites such as Wikileaks, Infowars.com, Drudge Report,Washington's blog, Activist Post and several other sites and blogs as well.(Too many to be named here)
If Wikileaks can be shut down, and Julian Assange tried as a spy espionage agent, then there will be a door opened for the government to shut down other sites that expose their treachery, under the "cyber security - homeland security - National security" mantra.
I have read reports that say Wikileaks is everything from the greatest patriotic site to one set up by the CIA. I will not try to pretend to know everything about the site or its founder, for I do not.
