RUSSIA THREATENS NUKE STRIKE
Top-ranking Russian military figure Says America had better watch out

Recent statements coming from one of Russia’s highest-ranking military commanders indicate that America and Israel plan to go ahead with war on Iran despite the release of the National Intelligence Estimate late last year. Russia’s military chief of staff General Yuri Baluyevsky threatened the use of nuclear weapons in case of a major threat. He said that, although they have no plans of attacking anyone, they nevertheless “consider it necessary for everyone around the world community to clearly understand, that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including, preventively, the use of nuclear weapons.”

His statements (which can only have been made in concert with the overall policies established by his boss President Vladimir Putin) come a week after George Bush’s visit to the Persian Gulf, in which he attempted to rally the nations in that region around U.S. and Israeli plans of “confronting Iran’s nuclear program before it is too late.” Baluyevsky’s statement, despite the stark and apocalyptic themes pervading it, comes as no surprise. Over the course of the past year, Russia has taken on an increasingly aggressive defensive posture with regard to the West as a result of what it sees as an overall plan of encircling her with NATO forces that threaten her existence. Russia has resumed long-range bomber patrols (halted with the fall of the Soviet Union), sometimes coming within inches of NATO airspace. She has pulled out of several treaties with the West limiting the size of Russian military forces on Europe’s eastern flank. Incensed at the U.S. plan of using new NATO member nations in Eastern Europe as a staging area for missile defense systems (said to be a necessary defense against Iran), Russia has developed and successfully test fired new missiles—both land- and sea-launched. Russia claims they are sophisticated enough to trump any U.S. missile shield.

Beginning in December (after the release of the NIE), Russia began delivering the nuclear fuel supplies promised to Iran according to their agreement. As of this moment, four shipments have been made totaling 45 tons of the estimated 80 tons necessary for the Bushehr facility to begin refinement. Israel is furious, as evidenced by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni’s recent meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov where she called the fuel deliveries “inconceivable.” What is of particular importance in General Baluyevsky’s statement is his mention of “defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of, not just Russia, but her “allies” as well. Russia has not, as of this moment, signed formal mutual defense agreements with nations such as Iran and Syria. Both are on Israel and America’s list of countries targeted for destruction. Both are important trading partners occupying Russia’s peripheries and therefore a first-line defense of Russian territory.

Throughout this nightmare in the Middle East, Russia has demonstrated a sane and rational character. By contrast, Israel and the United States under the administration of George Bush, have been irrational and unpredictable. Iraq and Afghanistan are unmitigated disasters and the fact that neither the U.S. nor Israel has learned from these disasters proves they are dangerous to all nations seen as uncooperative in the drive for U.S. and Israeli world hegemony. Indeed, Putin recently compared Bush to a “maniac running around threatening everyone with a razor.”

The Great American Strike - April 15, 2008.

Sure it may sound crazy but read on... here's 12 reasons why I believe Israel had major involvement in the attacks on September 11, 2001.

1.   It was an Israeli work team that was lying cable throughout the World Trade Center in the months proceeding September 11, 2001.

2.   We have an Israeli Mossad agent posing as Al Qeida and creating videos of Osama Bin Laden.  Refer to my previous post.

3.   An Israeli official named Oded Yinon revealed the Zionist strategy to Balkanize the entire Middle East into ethnic mini-states in the early 1980s. The plan for a global "war on terror" to accomplish this goal has been articulated since the mid-1980s ad nauseam by Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Israeli prime minister of the extreme right-wing Likud party. The Israeli military's plans to realize these strategic goals have obviously been in the works for at least three decades.

4.   The FBI, for example, under the command of the Israeli dual-national Michael Chertoff, is responsible for the confiscation of the crucial evidence from 9-11, evidence which has been withheld for than 6 years. This evidence includes video tapes of the Pentagon attack and physical pieces from the different aircraft involved.

5.   The five jubilant Israeli Mossad agents who were caught celebrating and filming themselves in front of the destruction of the World Trade Center and their subsequent public statements indicate that the Mossad had prior knowledge.

6.   The text message warnings of the attacks sent over the Mossad-controlled Odigo instant messaging system several hours prior to the attacks are further evidence of Israeli prior knowledge.

7.   The Israelis have a long history of committing "false flag" terror attacks, particularly against American targets. The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 and the Israeli terrorist bombings of U.S. and British civilian targets in Egypt during the 1954 Lavon Affair are the first that come to mind.

8.   The extent of Zionist control over the U.S. mass media, including the Internet, is astounding. The mass media has effectively prevented most Americans from understanding who is really behind the false flag terror attacks of 9-11, and, by extension, the illegal and genocidal wars in Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq.

9.   Israel is a nation which was founded by terrorists, ruthless men with histories of committing genocidal crimes and false flag terror attacks. Israel was created in 1948 in Palestine on land that had been "ethnically cleansed" of its indigenous Christian and Muslim inhabitants.

10.   The Israeli military and intelligence agency have long had the capability to convert and disguise large-body aircraft in the United States and their companies that do this kind of work are connected to ICTS, the Israeli airport security company that is a prime suspect in the "false flag" terrorism. ICTS is also a key defendant in the 9-11 litigation.

11.   It is also well known that Israeli gangs are heavily involved in illicit drug smuggling. A disproportionately large number of Israelis have been arrested in Europe and the United States with large amounts of narcotics and synthetic drugs such as Ecstasy. The numerous reports and allegations of involvement in drug smuggling are what the Bush and Clinton families have in common. These are the families which have dominated the executive branch of the United States government since 1981. There has been either a Bush or Clinton in the White House for the past 26 years, since January 1981. Is the illegal drug business something the Bush's and Clinton's have had a hand in with Israel's Mossad?

12.   9-11, after all, remains an unsolved crime. It is, however, quite obvious who is responsible for blocking discovery and obstructing justice for the victims and their relatives. At every critical point where the events and circumstances of 9-11 should have been investigated and discussed, there has been a Zionist, a dedicated devotee of the State of Israel, occupying the key position and acting as the controller and censor of evidence, the gatekeeper of information.

Why The Stock Market Crashed Today:

Although Iran has suspended it's nuclear weapons program in 2003, the U.N. Security Council's permanent members and Germany agreed Tuesday on "a new draft resolution on sanctions against Iran, strengthening existing measures over the country's refusal to suspend its nuclear energy program", officials said.

"We are united in the assessment that if Iran were to start up a nuclear weapons program again a nuclear armament of Iran would have dramatic consequences for the Middle East and even beyond," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said after meeting his counterparts from the U.S., France, Britain, Russia and China.

"So we are and remain agreed that we must and will continue to work, together and with determination, to ensure that it does not happen and Iran completely loses any nuclear energy capability."

The six agreed on the contents of a new resolution, which will be brought before the Security Council by Germany, France and Britain, where it could be discussed with the remaining council members over the coming weeks, he said. He gave no details of the resolution's contents.

The Security Council already has imposed two rounds of sanctions over Iran's defiance of international demands that it suspend uranium enrichment for use in Iran's Nuclear Energy Program which was granted to Iran in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.  The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Dictatorial Shah of Iran..

Iran's only nuclear power plant, Bushehr I,is expected to be be operational in March 2008 and delivering its maximum capacity to the nation's power grid by March 2009.

A European diplomat and a U.S. official, both speaking of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said the resolution would expand existing sanctions. But the European diplomat said it would not feature new economic sanctions.

"It increases the severity of the sanctions, and it expands the sanctions in some of the categories," the U.S. official said.

The U.S. official referred specifically to travel bans and asset freezes, but said the group agreed not to release the full text of the agreement until it had been distributed to the rest of the Security Council in the coming days.

"This is a swift reminder to the Iranians that they are not in compliance, since the dictatorship in Iran has ended we will no longer allow Iran to have nuclear energy and we will spread fear to Americans by making it sound like it's a nuclear weapons program" the U.S. official said.

Ron Paul does not want to take away your Social Security.  He merely plans to give youth, who have not paid into Social Security, the chance to opt out and invest their money instead like Goldman Sachs does with the Social Security money right now.

So rest assured, you welfare is safe with Ron Paul.  Please don't put another lame President into office like you have the past 50 years and think about someone other than yourselves for once.

N.I.S.T. The National Institute of Standards and Technology which is conducting the investigation of the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings has once again delayed it's report on how and why Building 7 collapsed symmetrically into it's own footprint on September 11, 2001 without a plane ever hitting the building. After 6 years of investigating, we do not understand why it is taking so long to explain this one building. The report was supposed to be released in December of 2007. Checking N.I.S.T.'s website it looks like they are just beginning to work on the report.

In 2006, N.I.S.T. released it's report on how the Twin Towers collapsed by using a computer simulation which, using it's worst case scenario, showed how a single floor could fail but the report fails to explain how the 92 floors below it failed. Several letters have been sent by Engineers around the globe for N.I.S.T. to explain how the other floors collapsed and why the tops of the buildings did not meet any resistance by the floors below on the way down or why the tops of the buildings chose the path of greatest resistance to fall in a symmetrical collapse in their own footprint.

N.I.S.T. does not intend on releasing any more reports on the collapse of the twin towers to explain the collapses any further although several Engineers have sent letters demanding further explanation to change building codes to prevent further collapses in the future.

New Hampshire ballot boxes found slit

Bev Harris
Black Box Voting.org
Friday January 18, 2008

No worries, say New Hampshire officials when cuts up to eight inches long are spotted in newly delivered ballot boxes. "The only seal that counts is the one on top."

Except the seal on top can be peeled off without leaving a trace, then re-affixed.

Black Box Voting has been doing a chain of custody exam for the New Hampshire Primary's recount. On Wednesday night, Election Defense Alliance's Sally Castleman mentioned a troubling observation: After following the ballots back to the ballot vault following Wednesday's recount, she had the opportunity to enter the ballot vault, and noticed what looked like cuts, or slits, in the side of many ballot boxes. New Hampshire officials assured us that these cuts, which slice through the tape, seals and box itself do not permit access to the uncounted ballots, pointing to a label on the box top which they call a seal.

But the "seal" can be removed, like a Post-it, and re-affixed. So it's not a seal all!

We wanted to know if the ballot boxes were slit while in the vault, in the transport van, or came from the towns with slits in them.

I confirmed this morning that many if not most of the boxes scheduled to be counted today had slits in them. I went out when a van load of ballots arrived, and saw that they were slit at the time they arrived by van. Susan Pynchon and I drove to two nearby towns and watched as they handed over their ballot boxes to "Butch and Hoppy", the two men who drive around in the state in a van picking the ballots up. We observed as they loaded boxes of ballots into the van with no slits at all in them. We videotaped each of these up close. They arrived at the destination without slits. The label on the top was affixed, but in some cases was crumpled, or also damaged.

Huge disparities between votes cast on Diebold electronic voting machines and actual hand counted tallies are emerging during the New Hampshire recount, with Hillary Clinton gaining the most from over a hundred unaccounted for votes in one Manchester Ward.

The votes are in and Michigan has chosen Republican Mitt Romney and although Michigan won't receive any delegates on the Democratic side they have also voted strongly for Hillary Clinton to lead Michigan out of it's hard economic crisis. "We can count on Romney's foreign policy to cut aid to those Nations who do not wish to join NATO and only using one bomb per household in Iraq and Iran to spread Democracy", said one Michigan voter wearing a Go Mitt button.

As the lines grew longer at the polls on Tuesday, another Romney supporter said, "I only wish America had the new Biometric ID Card that Romney proposed so we can just swipe our card in the Diebold Voting Machine and it would know who we are voting for already, it would make this line go a lot faster."

Mitt Romney scored a sorely needed victory in Michigan's GOP primary, benefiting from his ties to the state and scoring well on the voters' top issue: economic troubles. "Although Mitt Romney moved away from Michigan with his family as a young boy, perhaps he will help Michigan like his father did by turning these empty Automotive factories into Weapons factories", said another Romney supporter waiting in line.
