"It is not enough to know that there is a shadow government pulling the strings of the visible government- we must also act to expose it, and defeat it!"-Mark Matheny
In the video below, Alex breaks down how billionaires like Warren Buffett are the biggest beneficiaries of the “rule” they are now forcing through Congress. The net effect? Stealing the expanded tax revenue via banker bailouts and shutting down the middle class to eliminate competition for the big boys.
The same criminal mega banks that pulled off the banker bailout heist are set to run an even bigger scam. Billionaire scammer Warren Buffett was the biggest beneficiary of taxpayer money stolen in the bailout now he wants more. Please get this report out to everyone via Facebook, twitter, and every other media system. Together we can expose this fraud for what it is a mafia driven crony capitalism takeover! This is hidden in front of our faces,get this report out to talk radio as well. Thanks Alex Jones

While President Obama attended a Summit in Columbia, those sent to protect him had other ideas while in the country.
“There have been allegations of misconduct made against Secret Service personnel in Cartagena, Colombia prior to the president’s trip,because of this, those personnel are being relieved of their assignments, returned to their place of duty, and are being replaced by other Secret Service personnel” Secret Service special agent in charge Edwin Donovan said in a statement.
According to The Raw Story, it reports the following:
He did not specify what allegations had been made against the Secret Service staff, who were in Cartagena ahead of Obama’s arrival late on Friday for the Summit of the Americas which opens on Saturday.But at least one of the agents had been involved with prostitutes in the Colombian resort city, the Washington Post said quoting Jon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association.
This is where our taxes are going!
Maybe these 12 Secret Servicemen will be on Jersey Shore soon........
For Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), 76, the 2012 Republican primaries are probably his last tango with presidential politics. But the aging libertarian will still achieve his life-long dream of crushing the nation’s Federal Reserve banking system… If a Houston-based video game developer is successful, that is.
Daniel Williams, 27, recently published a fundraising appeal for a forthcoming video game based on the candidate’s exploits. With the help of crowd-funding website Kickstarter, he hit the goal of $5,000 within a matter of days, based upon the commitments of just 40 backers as of this story’s publication.
Speaking to Raw Story on Wednesday, Williams said his main inspiration for the game was the 1992 8-bit classic “Krusty’s Fun House,” where Krusty the Clown from “The Simpsons” has to set traps for mice and capture them.
For the Ron Paul game, instead of mice it’s delegates. And he collects gold coins — lots and lots of gold coins — naturally. And who could forget the most epic political video game cover art of all time, featuring candidate Paul and his wife Carol in a “Star Wars”-like pose in front of a giant screeching eagle, the Statue of Liberty and exploding red fireworks? (Click here for larger version.)
The game also includes some elements from Sega’s 1991 hit “Sonic the Hedgehog,” along with the boss battles from Konami’s vampire-hunting title “Castlevania.” Williams said the encounters will play into each branch of the Federal Reserve bank, and that there would “definitely” be an “epic” encounter between Paul and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
“I love video games, and I’m a programmer by trade,” Williams said. “Programming video games is kind of a hobby of mine. I’m the lead programmer on a site called RonPaulSwag.com, where we sell t-shirts and promote liberty to younger crowds. A video game was kind of the next step for me.”
Another feature: borrowed from Nintendo’s breakout classic “Super Mario Bros.,” Williams is using the deformed head of President George W. Bush as a stand-in for Mario’s Goombas.
“That was kind of a rapid prototyping thing,” he explained. “The premise isn’t really anti-Bush. I just wanted to get ‘neo-con’ heads, recognizable ‘neo-cons.’ You’re going to see things like zombies and sleepwalkers, too. Enemies that people who are fans of Ron Paul will understand.”
He added that “sheeple” — a hybrid of sheep and people, frequently used as an insult by Paul’s most ardent supporters and detractors — will not be included in the game. “I don’t want to perpetuate that term,” Williams said.
“Ron Paul: the Road to REVOLution” will be available to play for free on the Internet, and the developer said he’s also hoping to release it on Xbox Live Arcade, too. The game should be out in July — which, he admits, is a little bit late in the campaign season, what with the Republican National Convention planned for the end of August and all.
“I really wish I’d thought of the idea a year ago,” Williams concluded.

Editor's Note: This is not meant as a theological sermon, but just to give you something to seriously ponder
lightning - ברק (Barack) Hebrew high place -אובמה (ovama) Hebrew
lightning from the high places- "ברק מן הבמות" (barack min ha-bamot) Hebrew
(This can be verified in any Hebrew Dictionary or Strong's)
It may not be known to the masses that Barack Obama has a name that in Hebrew means essentially, "lightning from the high places". This alone may not have any significance to the average person not aware of biblical prophesy, but to some this will strike a chord.
At the time of the 1st century, the land of Judea was under the power of Rome. Taxes were put upon the Judeans and a heavy presence of Roman soldiers filled the streets and even the Holy Temple area.
Protests and violent clashes between the people and the Roman soldiers were not uncommon. Of course the Sanhedrin at the time, along with the priesthood in Judea, were corrupt and under the control of the Roman Emperor as well.
At that time, Yeshua (Jesus) was approached by his disciples and asked: "Tell us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" Yeshua then responded with a series of events that would precede his coming. (You can read Mathew 24 for the full response). At one point Yeshua says, "for then there shall be great distress, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor shall ever be. And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved...." ..."for as lightning (Barack) comes from the East (Kenya?), and shines (has prominence) in the West (U.S.?), so also shall the coming of the Son of Man be." Mathew 24:21,22,27 This is just one set of scripture to ponder, but I will show another set as well in order to give you something to think hard about. Read the rest at :
Mitt Romney drew a warm reception from the National Rifle Assn. on Friday as he attacked President Obama for “employing every imaginable ruse and ploy” to restrict gun rights, which Romney pledged not to do if elected in November.
Although gun control groups have complained that Obama has done little to support their cause, Romney took a page from the NRA leadership, which has been saying that the president is waiting for a second term to crack down on firearms. He warned that Obama would “remake” the Supreme Court in a second term, threatening constitutional freedoms.
“In a second term, he would be unrestrained by the demands of re-election,” Romney told a crowd estimated at 6,000 in the cavernous Edward Jones Dome. “As he told the Russian president last month when he thought no one else was listening, after a re-election he’ll have a lot more, quote, 'flexibility' to do what he wants. I’m not exactly sure what he meant by that, but looking at his first three years, I have a very good idea.”
Referring specifically to the right to bear arms, Romney said: “If we are going to safeguard our 2nd Amendment, it is time to elect a president who will defend the rights President Obama ignores or minimizes. I will.”
Editor's Note: Torture is torture no matter if it's a young boy or a terrorist! This is why we have the Geneva Convention, and rules against "cruel and unusual punishment" !!!
“I never signed up for him to be tortured, terrorized and abused,” Cheryl McCollins told a jury on Tuesday. “I had no idea, no idea, that they tortured the children in the school.”
In February, we reported Ms. McCollins’ plight and her calling for the public viewing of startling footage of her then 18 year-old son, Andre, receiving 31 electroshocks at Judge Rotenburg Center for the disabled (JRC) for not removing his jacket.
In 2002, Andre, now 27, had been zapped, restrained, sprawled out face down with a helmet, and shocked another 30 times anytime he flinched or screamed out in pain. The aversive shock “treatment” continued all day with no food, water, or bathroom breaks.
When Cheryl visited her son, he was unresponsive and later rushed to the hospital where he was diagnosed with acute stress response.
McCollins is suing Canton, MA-based JRC and calling the treatment torture. Cheryl wanted the public to see this “therapy” as an unacceptable act of torture.
Of course, JRC fought vigorously to block the video release. A new Superior Court Judge on the case, Judge Barbara Dortch-Okara, refused JRC’s repeated request allowing public-court viewing for the first time.
Cheryl also testified that the staff members were laughing as Andre was shocked.
JRC said Fox’s coverage of the footage would make it impossible for JRC to receive a fair trial. You will soon see why.
Warning: Even this newsclip revealing moments of Andre’s shock abuse is hard to watch.
A German ship carrying Iranian weapons was stopped the Mediterranean on Saturday, according to a report by Der Spiegel.
The ship, weighing 6,200 tons, was carrying weapons and ammunition to Tartus, Syria with the aim of arming President Bashar Assad’s forces, the report said.
It docked a few days ago in Djibouti in the Horn of Africa, where it was loaded with weapons supplied by an Iranian cargo ship.
The ship was identified by Syrian defectors, who contacted the German shipping company. The company then ordered the ship to change course, and although it started heading toward Turkey is was eventually halted 80 kilometers southwest of Tartus.
The German government says it’s looking into the report.
With Syria halting military operations as part of a UN-brokered ceasefire, Western powers have been saying they do not trust the government to uphold the armistice. Experts believe the US and its allies are pursuing their own agenda: regime change.
Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Center for Research on Globalization, noted that Susan Rice, the US Ambassador to the UN, was wrong in saying that Russia and China had blood on their hands.
“NATO has blood on their hands,” he told RT. “The United States has blood on their hands. Why? Because they have supported an armed insurgency from the onset in March 2011. It is known and documented that this so-called opposition is, in fact, a proxy paramilitary formation, which is supported by the Western military alliance.”
He also noted that there is well-documented evidence to support the fact that most civilian casualties were attributable to terrorist acts by opposition gunmen and paramilitary forces. Chossudovsky pointed to the hypocritical stance of the NATO member countries.
“On the one hand you have the government of Syria, and on the other you have, in fact, the foot soldiers of NATO,” he said. “In other words, NATO is supporting the rebels, but at the same time, the NATO countries which claim to be members of the international community, are brokering the peace plan.” And as for the truce, Chossudovsky noted that it was the West that was not interested in seeing it bear fruit. “The Western powers are not interested in a truce,” he concluded. “They have been seeking from the onset regime change, in other words, toppling the government and destabilizing the country.”
Political analyst Lajos Szaszdi says the US, as well the Gulf States and Turkey, prefer to see the failure of the UN-brokered peace plan put forward by the organization’s Syrian envoy Kofi Annan.
“They have an agenda of their own,” Szaszdi told RT. “They really don’t want peace with the current government of Syria.”
He said Western powers were in fact blatantly helping the opposition with diplomatic efforts, as well as by supplying money, weapons and even special forces to operate inside Syria. And with recent reports of violence at the country’s border with Turkey, Szaszdi noted that the situation was increasingly volatile in the region. “It’s a dangerous situation,” he stressed. “Turkey is thinking about how to internationalize the conflict, having NATO involved. And of course, we have to be very careful about this threat because what if the opposition itself, next time, could provoke an incident like the Germans did against Poland in 1939 in September, and appear like they are Syrian troops, when in fact they are members of the Free Syrian Army that want precisely to provoke international intervention.”
He also pointed to the fact that the weapons he said Turkey supplies to the opposition could end up in the hands of the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK), rekindling a decades-long conflict within Turkey itself.
The ceasefire came into effect at 6am local time on Wednesday. The government halted all military operations, though Annan criticized it for not withdrawing troops and heavy artillery from major cities. The UN Security Council is set to adopt a resolution that would authorize the deployment of an advanced monitor group to Syria.
A relatively monstrous SWAT style truck leads us to a whole new blob of police state developments, busy hands with little to do and a lot of hardware to do it.
Earlier this week, Federal Reserve boss Ben Bernanke again warned that out of control borrowing and spending will eventually destroy the country.
Said Ben to the the Budget Committee:
Sustained high rates of government borrowing would both drain funds away from private investment and increase our debt to foreigners, with adverse long-run effects on U.S. output, incomes, and standards of living. Moreover, diminishing investor confidence that deficits will be brought under control would ultimately lead to sharply rising interest rates on government debt and, potentially, to broader financial turmoil. In a vicious circle, high and rising interest rates would cause debt-service payments on the federal debt to grow even faster, resulting in further increases in the debt-to-GDP ratio and making fiscal adjustment all the more difficult.
But here is something Bernanke didn’t mention – a large chunk of that debt is owed to the Federal Reserve. In February, the corporate media fessed up to this undeniable fact. FromCNBC:
That’s right, the biggest single holder of U.S. government debt is inside the United States and includes the Federal Reserve system and other intragovernmental holdings. Of this number, The Fed’s system of banks owns approximately $1.65 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities (as of January 2012), while other U.S. intragovernmental holdings – which include large funds such as the Medicare Trust Fund and the Social Security Trust Fund - hold the rest.
The bankers that own the Federal Reserve love debt and that’s why they continually expand the money supply.
“Without the Fed’s relentless expansion of the money supply during both the Greenspan and Bernanke eras, the U.S. Treasury never would have been able to issue the staggering sums of debt that now threaten our economic well being,” Ron Paul told the House Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy last year. “This Treasury debt is the very lifeblood of deficit spending, permitting one Congress after another to spend far more than the Treasury collects in taxes. It is precisely this unholy alliance between the enabling Fed and a spendthrift Congress that I hope our witnesses will address today.”
It’s a great situation for the warheads in the Pentagon and the military industrial complex. Excluding Social Security and other “trust funds” (no pun intended), the Pentagon spends most of this money. Flush with trillions, they are free to continue and expand the wars necessary for the globalists to extend their reach (as they are now doing in Africa).
The debt wrecking ball is doing a fine job of destroying the middle class and making sure America becomes another third world cesspool like Mexico and eventually sub-Sahara Africa. As of last year, the debt officially exceeded 100% of the nation’s gross domestic product, in other words the debt is now as big as everything we produce in America.
In order to pay off this staggering debt, the Federal Reserve will print more money out of thin air and expand the money supply which will lead to more inflation that will whittle away at the middle class and the living standards of all Americans.
“Greece, and more precisely Italy and Spain, are our ghosts of the future past. The Fed will print more money. That’s what they do. They work for the banks,” Capital Waves StrategistShah Gilani told Business Insider in January.
The Greek dilemma is coming to America. The debt owed by Greece was 160% of that country’s GDP last August and the average yield on Greek debt was around 15%. “Thus, if Greece’s debt is rolled over without restructuring, its interest costs alone will amount to approximately 24% of GDP. In other words, if debt pardoning does not occur, nearly a quarter of Greece’s economic output will be gobbled up by interest repayments,” writes Puru Saxenafor 321 Gold.
In August, Ron Paul introduced HR 2768, legislation designed to cancel $1.6 trillion in debt. “I would say that is not a real debt. It’s a fictitious debt. It’s a dishonest debt, and that we’re not obligated,” he said.
HR 2768 disappeared into the maw of a congressional committee and will likely never be seen again. A previous bill introduced by Ron Paul, Audit the Fed, was severely adulterated under pressure exacted by the Federal Reserve and the Obama administration. In June of 2010, the bill failed by a vote of 229-198.
Bernanke’s remarks earlier this week serve as a warning of things to come. His “fiscal adjustments” (i.e., tax increases and the entire palette of IMF styled austerity) will indeed “come as a rapid and painful response to a looming or actual fiscal crisis,” one designed by a cartel of international bankers who specialize in the destruction of nations, fire sales, and wholesale misery.
Ron Paul offered an escape hatch, but it was shuffled off to the oblivion of a congressional committee.
The economic crisis in Europe continues to get worse and eventually it is going to unravel into a complete economic nightmare. All over Europe, national governments have piled up debts that are completely unsustainable.
But whenever they start significantly cutting government spending it results in an economic slowdown. So politicians in Europe are really caught between a rock and a hard place. They can’t keep racking up these unsustainable debts, but if they continue to cut government spending it is going to push their economies into deep recession and their populations will riot. Greece is a perfect example of this. Greece has been going down the austerity road for several years now and they are experiencing a full-blown economic depression, riots have become a way of life in that country and their national budget is still not anywhere close to balanced. Americans should pay close attention to what is going on in Europe, because this is what it looks like when a debt party ends. Most of the nations in the eurozone have just started implementing austerity, and yet unemployment in the eurozone is already the highest it has been since the euro was introduced. It has risen for 10 months in a row and is now up to 10.8 percent. Sadly, it is going to go even higher. As economies across Europe slide into recession, that is going to put even more pressure on the European financial system. Most Americans do not realize this, but the European banking system is absolutely enormous. It is nearly four times the size that the U.S. banking system is. When the European banking system crashes (and it will) it is going to reverberate around the globe. The epicenter of the next great financial crisis is going to be in Europe, and it is getting closer with each passing day.
The following are 27 statistics about the European economic crisis that are almost too crazy to believe….
#2 The average unemployment rate in Greece in 2010 was 12.5 percent. During 2011, the average unemployment rate was 17.3 percent, and now the unemployment rate in Greece is up to 21.8 percent.
#3 The youth unemployment rate in Greece is now over 50 percent.
#4 The unemployment rate in the port town is Perama is about 60 percent.
#5 In Greece, 20 percent of all retail stores have closed down during the economic crisis.
#7 Some of the austerity measures that have been implemented in Greece have been absolutely brutal. For example, Greek civil servants have had their incomes slashed by about 40 percent since 2010.
#8 Despite all of the austerity measures, it is being projected that Greece will still have a budget deficit equivalent to 7 percent of GDP in 2012.
#10 In the midst of all the poverty in Greece, several serious diseases are making a major comeback. The following comes from a recent article in the Guardian….
The incidence of HIV/Aids among intravenous drug users in central Athens soared by 1,250% in the first 10 months of 2011 compared with the same period the previous year, according to the head of Médecins sans Frontières Greece, while malaria is becoming endemic in the south for the first time since the rule of the colonels, which ended in the 1970s.
Spain
#11 The unemployment rate in Spain is now up to 23.6 percent.
