CLINTON'S KILLER

From aangirfan:

This man was trained by the US military, at Fort Leavenworth.
His forces pursued gold, diamonds and coltan.
"The UN named the international corporations it believed were involved: Anglo-America, Standard Chartered Bank, De Beers and more than 100 others." - The Independent (Website for this image)
Kagame meets Netanyahu in Israel in 1996. Paul Kagame's forces kidnapped women and children. "They were bound and their throats were cut or they were killed by hammer blows to the head... The operation was carried out in a methodical manner and lasted at least one month." (Website) In 1994, a plane was brought down, and allegedly the CIA was involved.
What followed were the massacres in Rwanda, and then in the Congo.

This was a secret US war.
The genocide was "mainly the work of Paul Kagame, with the assistance of Bill Clinton, the British and Belgians, the UN, and the mainstream media".

Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo 
On 3 January 2011, at http://www.voltairenet.org/en, we read about Paul Kagame: “Our Kind of Guy”
According to this article:

1. Rwanda's President Paul Kagame works for the USA.

2. According to reports from the UN:
Kagame's forces carried out most of the genocide in Rwanda and in the Cong0-DRC.
Many millions died.

3. Kagame opened up the Congo-DRC to US and other Western mining and business interests. 4. The 1994 genocide was "mainly the work of Paul Kagame, with the assistance of Bill Clinton, the British and Belgians, the UN, and the mainstream media". 

Allegedly the CIA gave missile equipment to Kagame. (Can French judges finally solve the mystery of Habyarimana plane ...)
5. In 1994 a jet was shot down and this started the 1994 genocide.

On the jet was the Hutu president of Rwanda.

There is 'overwhelming evidence' that this shootdown was organized by Paul Kagame. 
Kagame's forces attacked the government of Rwanda within two hours of the assassination.

In less than 100 days, Kagame controlled Rwanda.
Kagame pulled his French-speaking country out of the French sphere of influence and into the world of the Anglo-American-Israelis. 
6. Kagame invited in 2000 evangelical missionaries trained by Pastor Rick Warren.

Warren was chosen by Barack Obama to give the invocation at his presidential inauguration. 
Kagame was trained at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and has received steady US support.

7. Only the Kagame forces seem to have killed on a systematic and planned basis.
And their killings were played down by the UN and United States.
Kagame's Tutsi tribe killed Hutu. (Website for this image) 
8. The 1994 Gersony report on killings by Kagame forces was suppressed by the UN.

An internal memorandum to the US Secretary of State in September 1994 reported the killing of "10,000 or more Hutu civilians per month".
This was supressed.

Kagame's Tutsi tribe killed Hutus.

When the US academics Christian Davenport and Allan Stam concluded that the "majority of victims are likely Hutu and not Tutsi", they were sacked.

9. It is highly likely that far more than half of those killed in Rwanda during the April-July 1994 period were Hutu.

Hutu deaths inside both Rwanda and later the Congo-DRC continued for another decade-and-a-half.

Electromagnetic Frequency Mind Control Weapons

By Stephen Lendman, JANUARY 04, 2011

Directed energy weapons include lasers, high power microwave, and millimeter wave ones among others. A relevant December 2007 Department of Defense (DOD) report called them a “transformational game changer in military operations, able to augment and improve operational capabilities in many areas,” for both lethal and non-lethal purposes.

Access the full text through the following link:

http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/reports/ADA476320.pdf

Among other applications, EMF weapons/devices are used for harassment, surveillance and mind control. Agencies like the Pentagon, CIA and NSA use them to monitor people, manipulate their minds, harm, and at times kill them. The Navy Times called them the “most feared and controversial weapon(s) of (the) modern age.”

Human experiments in America go back decades, an earlier article addressed MK-ULTRA (and others), accessed through the following link:

http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2010/02/mk-ultra-cias-mind-control-program.html

Begun in 1953, it was the code name for a secret CIA mind control program to perfect a truth drug. It followed earlier WW II hypnosis, primitive drugs research, and the US Navy’s Project Chatter, identifying and testing drugs on both animal and human subjects. These and other experiments aimed to control human behavior through psychedelic and halluncinogenic drugs, electroshock, radiation, graphology, paramilitary techniques, and various psychological/sociological/anthropological methods, among others.

They comprised a vast open-field of mind experimentation, using anything that might work, legal or not on willing and unwitting subjects. For example, Dr. Ross Adey worked on the CIA’s Pandora Project, using microwaves to send signals to human brains. Cataloguing the results, he showed how they affected emotional and pathological states. He also learned that human brains could be controlled remotely through extremely low frequency modulated microwave beams, able to cause psychological and physical harm.

People could be turned in zombies, their minds easily controlled. Physical harm also resulted, affecting their blood, cardiovascular system, cells, central nervous and digestive systems, glands, metabolism, reproduction, eyesight, and hearing. In addition, subjects could be made suicidal or driven mad. Moreover, sounds and speech can be placed in victims’ brains, actual voices they can’t control or stop.

Other effects include unexplainable burning, itching, tickling or pressure; “humming” or “buzzing” causing sleeplessness and anxiety; loss of body control, producing sudden twitching or jerking of an arm or leg; and feelings of dread, rage, lust, sorrow, or other emotions that come and go quickly.

Moreover, microwave cooking can heat people to death by increasing the radiation field intensity, causing local hot spots in eyes, gall bladders, and other body parts. Paralysis can also be induced. Memories are erased or impaired. Cancerous cells can be produced, and behavior modified the way authorities wish, even turning people into killers, microwave signals directing them. The entire mobile phone network can be used for these purposes, yet people are unaware of what’s happening.

Post-WW II, human radiation experiments were conducted, affecting thousands of US citizens. Millions more were exposed to radioactive fallout from over 200 atmospheric and underground tests. At the Nevada site in the 1950s and 1960s, detonations affected over 200,000 ‘”atomic vets,” thousands more downwind also in Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. These and numerous other physical and psychological experiments caused enormous harm to hundreds of thousands of unwitting people, victimized by their own country.

Electronic harassment and mind control technologies direct energy through lasers, radio frequency energy beams, holography, interferometry, electromagnetic radiation, radio and sound waves, satellites, radar, miniature electronic robots, smart dust, and other means. All do it invisibly over thousands of miles. They can penetrate walls, buildings, metals, concrete, mountains and thousands of miles of earth.

Intersecting energy beams create radiation pockets in victims, engineered to contain sound waves, messages, heat and pressure stress, simulated forms of electromagnetic radiation, telepathic images, as well as holographic and virtual reality simulations. Directed energy beams can also track, locate and target people harmfully. They can only be blocked by force fields or materials that absorb or deflect them. What they are remain top secret.

Bush I declared the 1990s “The Decade of the Brain,” an effort “to enhance public awareness of the benefits to be derived from brain research,” keeping its dark side hidden.

The Pentagon’s DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) conducted research and development in “augmented cognition,” what universities call “cognitive science.” It’s the interdisciplinary study of how information is represented and transformed in the brain. The Pentagon’s purpose was for military applications, including manipulating the emotions and behavior of adversaries.

Used globally, it’s applicable individually, for crowd control, or larger groups, using millimeter waves, pulsed energy projectiles, and high power magnetic weapons, subjects unaware of what’s hitting them.

The NSA’s Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) involves decoding EMF waves to tap into computers wirelessly and track people. Using EMF Brain Stimulation to monitor individuals, organizations and nations, it complements the CIA/Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) Human Intelligence (HUMINT), and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Imagery Intelligence (IMINT). NSA’s DOMINT can track millions of people simultaneously. It can also inflict harm, control subjects psychologically and kill.

In conflict zones like Iraq and Afghanistan, “Project Sheriff” is used to give “troops working in urban terrain more options” against combatants and noncombatants alike. Humvees and armored personnel carriers have been retrofitted with non-lethal weapons, including microwave-like pain rays (an Active Denial System) and a Long Range Acoustic Device emitting earsplitting sounds.

Pulsed Energy Projectiles (PEPs) travel nearly at the speed of light. With pinpoint accuracy, they emit invisible laser pulses, electromagnetic radiation, stunning targets, knocking them off their feet, paralyzing them in pain. Their long-term effects, however, are unknown, including on the brain.

Voice to Skull directed acoustic devices are neuro-electromagnetic non-lethal weapons, able to produce mood-altering sounds in a person’s head. Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM) uses satellite transmitted extra low frequencies (ELF) to send voice to brain communications. Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) are used for crowd control. They produce 150-decibel acoustic beams, “designed to communicate with authority and exceptionally high intelligibility in a 15 – 30 degree beam.” They emit verbal challenges over distances beyond 500 meters, with warning tones to influence behavior. They can also inflict physical harm, manipulate minds, and cause death.

The field of Augmented Cognition includes Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), used therapeutically and for military purposes. The latter is to emit close proximity electrical impulses to the brain to affect mood, sleep patterns, and improve cognitive abilities in areas of learning, memory, attentiveness, visualization, and decision-making. The long-term neurological effects are unknown. The potential for human harm is considerable.

Transmitted over long distances, silent psychotronic weapons can cause illness or death for no apparent reason. In his 1970 book, “Between Two Ages,” Zbigniew Brezezinski, discussed technologies to conduct secret warfare, saying:

“It is possible – and tempting – to exploit, for strategic-political purposes, the fruits of research on the brain and on human behavior….Accurately timed, artificially excited electronic strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the earth….In this way, one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of a very large population in selected regions, over an extended period.”

Most people know nothing about directed energy weapons, manipulating, incapacitating and killing many thousands who have no idea what hit them. America has been a longtime global offender, developing and using them for decades to surveille, harass, intimidate, manipulate, torture, and kill. They can also read minds and turn people into zombies. Why? To achieve total unchallengeable control.

So-called “non-lethal weapons” can be as harmful as killer ones. Ongoing research, in fact, is chilling. Waging war on human minds and bodies, it’s morally, ethically, and legally indefensible. Continuing, however, atrocity technologies are produced, mostly without public knowledge or that governments like America use them against their own people and others. For ill, of course, not good. Dr. Mengele lives.

'British Government' to Manipulate Thought and Behavior

Organ trafficking, eugenics and corruption: meet our new EU 'partners'

From Mail Online - Euroseptic: Mary Ellen Synon in Brussels: 

So far, the European Commission is trying really hard to pretend that the report accusing Hashim Thaci, the prime minister of Kosovo, of a revolting list of violent crimes doesn't actually exist. Or if it exists, it doesn't matter. Or if it matters, it ought to be ignored because it was written by the Swiss Senator Dick Marty and, obviously, you can't expect a Swiss to be on-message with Brussels.
But there it is anyway: Kosovo, a territory ripped from Serbia in a war led by the Islamic terrorist organisation the KLA, is still on the EU's list as a potential candidate for membership. This, despite all the evidence that Thaci and his Albanian thugs engaged in 'inhuman treatment of people and illicit trafficking of human organs in Kosovo.' In other words unknown numbers of Serbian prisoners were murdered so that their bodies could be sliced open and their organs sold by Albanians calling themselves 'Kosovars.'
Senator Marty's report was commissioned by the Council of Europe, a 47-member organisation older than the EU, and which is no part of the Brussels empire.

As the Serbian writer Srdja Trifkovic points out in the current issue of Chronicles Magazine: 'Long dismissed in the mainstream media as "Serbian propaganda" the allegations of organ trafficking were ignored in the West until early 2008 when Carla Del Ponte, former Prosecutor at the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague, revealed in her memoirs that she had been prevented from initiating any serious investigation into its merits.'
'She also revealed -- shockingly -- that some elements of proof taken by ICTY field investigators from the notorious "Yellow House" [the blood-spattered house where organ harvesting took place] in the Albanian town of Rripe were destroyed at The Hague, thus enabling the KLA and their Western enablers '--hello, Brussels -- 'to claim that "There was no evidence" for the organ trafficking claims.'
'In April 2008, prompted by Del Ponte's revelations, 17 European parliamentarians [ie, from various European parliaments] signed a motion for a resolution calling on the Assembly [of the European Council] to examine the allegations.' In June 2008 the Swiss Senator Marty was asked to write the report. He had already gained international prominence by his previous investigation of accusations that the CIA abducted and imprisoned terrorism suspects in Europe.
The report says that Thaci's links with organised crime go back to the late 1990s. This means assassinations, beatings, narcotics trade, the lot. So murdering for body parts wasn't all of it, merely the worst of it. And the same lot of thugs who were doing all this are still there in Kosovo, sucking up the millions of euros the EU has been pouring into the place.

So you would think that the European Commission might have a more muscular reply to Senator Marty's report than what was offered just before Christmas by Cecilia Malmstrom, the Swede who is Home Affairs Commissioner. When confronted by a journalist about the  report, she stuck to: 'We do not deny there are problems in Kosovo and in other countries. This report you refer to, I have read about it in the media, I cannot comment what is true and what is not true.'
Not that she much wants to know what is true and what is not true in Kosovo: the EU wants Kosovo 'stable,' even if that means the butchers stay in power. Or as Senator Marty noted in his report, 'even certain representatives of international institutions did not conceal their reluctance to grapple with these facts. "The past is the past," we are told, "we must now look to the future."' (I'd say that is a line you won't hear much at, for example, the Simon Weisenthal Centre in Vienna.)

Now to the next lot of unsavoury new 'European partners' back in the news, the Romanians. This lot, of course, are already members. But they are still forced to sit in the back of the bus: they were allowed to join the EU despite the rampant organised crime and corruption in the country -- of course they were, the Brussels empire is both voracious and omnivorous -- but now they are in the French and the Germans and the rest are getting sniffy about them.
So Romania is not being allowed to join the Schengen Area, the group of European countries which has dropped all border checks. The feeling seems to be that street encampments of Romanians are causing enough ructions in France and Italy without having the Romanian mafia moving around in a Schengen-without-frontiers.

Which is where I start to feel a sneaking regard for the Romanians. They aren't going to put up with being told they are second-class members of the EU. The parliament in Bucharest has started to threaten to make trouble over Croatia's accession, and to block or at least delay a deal rigged up that would allow extra MEPs to take their seats in the European Parliament (an issue too confusing to go into now), if their country isn't allowed into Schengen.

Meanwhile, to another potential member, Turkey. Both David Cameron and William Hague are mad-keen to get Turkey into the EU, and that alone if nothing else -- though there is plenty else -- ought to put you on alert that Turkish membership must be a bad thing. But if you doubt it, I suggest you have a look at an excellent article by Claire Berlinski in the Autumn edition of the American magazine, City Journal.
Berlinski lives in Istanbul. 'Any place else would bore me senseless' she says. 'What curious student of history could resist the chance to see something like this with her own eyes?'
What she sees is 'Weimar Istanbul, dread and exhilaration in a city on the verge of political catastrophe.' It is 'a city where sudden liberalisation has unleashed the social and political imagination -- but where the threat of authoritarian reaction is always in the air.'
Poltical Islam was unleashed with the rise to power in 2002 of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) -- and as Recep Tayyip Erdogan, now AKP prime minister, infamously said in 1995, 'Democracy is like a streetcar. When you come to your stop, you get off.'
Istanbul is no melting pot. It is a city caught between two revolutions. The Westernising secular transformations of Ataturk have still not been assimilated; and the new - or rather, old -- Islamic culture has come to challenge them. Just read the recent Turkish headlines: Kurdish rebels admit Istanbul bus bombing -- Strategy expert warns of ethnic clashes -- Ethnically polarised societies easy targets for provocateurs.
'The concentration of the media in the hands of government cronies has dramatically contracted press freedom, as has the govenment's persecution of journalists and its use of punitive taxation to bring dissenting elements into line.'
'That the city is not only on a political fault line but on a literal one adds to the mood; when an earthquake comes -- and it will --much of Istanbul will collapse because the AKP has done little to crack down on corrupt, lax and dangerous contruction practices.'
'The conflict between the ancient, the modern, and the reaction is in evidence everywhere here, especially in the small, weird details...the barracks of the imperial military have been purchased by investors and refashioned as the W Hotel...The rooms come complete with "intimacy kits" containing condoms. Perhaps you should use them, too, because the government takes a dim view of foreign sperm. Women who leave the country for artificial insemination are to be prosecuted.' Eugenics, Turkish style: none of that cross-breeding with Europeans.

And yet: 'I have rarely in the West seen promiscuity such as that which characterises Istanbul's elite, secular class. Come the Revolution, they will surely be shot. Yet the women complain to me, in tears, that they cannot understand why the men they bed never call the next day. The poor things, I think. They are so new to this.'
And on Berlinski goes, painting a picture of a city, of a Turkish culture, that is an unexploded bomb lying at Europe's door: 'The PKK, an ultranationalist Kurdish organisation, spent the summer setting off bombs. Enraged Turkish nationalists went on a counter-rampage, destroying shops and buildings, clashing with security forces, burning official vehicles and attacking police stations Kurds to lynch.' One newspaper calls it 'Civil war rehersal.'
'All very Weimar. All very Istanbul.'
We've already had one Weimar in Europe, we don't need another. But I'm not saying that as though Istanbul is a bad thing. The Turks can do what they like. It is just that Turkey is not a good thing for Europe.
 

World food prices enter 'danger territory' to reach record high

UN food price index rises for sixth month in a row to highest since records began in 1990

Jill Treanor
Guardian

Soaring prices of sugar, grain and oilseed drove worldfood prices to a record in December, surpassing the levels of 2008 when the cost of food sparked riots around the world, and prompting warnings of prices being in "danger territory".

An index compiled monthly by the United Nationssurpassed its previous monthly high – June 2008 – in December to reach the highest level since records began in 1990. Published by the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organisation, the index tracks the prices of a basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy, meat and sugar, and has risen for six consecutive months.

Abdolreza Abbassian, FAO economist, told the Guardian: "We are entering a danger territory." But he stressed that the situation was not yet as bad as 2008.

Sugar and meat prices are at record levels while cereal prices are back at the levels last seen in 2008 when riots in Haiti killed four people and riots in Cameroon left 40 people dead.

Abbassian warned prices could rise higher still, amid fears of droughts in Argentina and floods in Australia and cold weather killing plants in the northern hemisphere.

"There is still room for prices to go up much higher, if for example the dry conditions in Argentina tend to become a drought, and if we start having problems with winterkill in the northern hemisphere for the wheat crops," Abbassian said.

Prices have been rising steadily but Abbassian said that by now he had been expecting food prices to start to fall because many poorer countries had good harvests last year.

But this has not happened after unpredictable weather caused a poor wheat crop in Russia. Last year European wheat prices doubled, US corn prices rose more than 50% and US soybean prices jumped more than 30%.

EU INTRODUCES EUROBONDS THROUGH THE BACK DOOR

From Case about Bird Flu 

by Jane Burgermeister

- EU issues €5 billion of bonds through the European Financial Stabilisation Fund in spite of rejection by European leaders at key Brussels summit in December

- Ireland’s borrowing costs lower but Germany’s increase

- Eurobonds will deepen the eurozone’s chronic debt problems caused by the banks, choke off growth and lead ultimately to Europe’s economic meltdown, economic experts say

- European Financial Stabilisation Fund has no basis in EU law and also violates German constitution

The European Union is starting to issue euro bonds through the €440 billion European Financial Stabilisation Fund (EFSF) as part of the IMF/EU  “bailout” for Ireland, according to media reports.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gTYQGEdx2fNsLoryy0QixCgbAtuQ?docId=CNG.7f52d5080666c6faeec68359512796af.941

European leaders rejected the introduction of eurobonds at a key summit on December 22, 2010 in Brussels because eurobonds will increase the overall debt burden on the eurozone, accelerating its economic decline.

The EU appears to have acted on its own to sell about €5billion ($6.7bn) in five-year debt underwritten by Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank and HSBC, BNP Paribas using the ESFS. The 5 billion is the first part of an estimated €50bn in bonds that will go towards the Irish “bail out” over the next two years.

Economists acknowledge that the souvereign debt of Ireland has little to do with public debt. Bank engineered, fractional reserve banking debt has been equated with national debt. It is also the banks who are going to profit from the interest payments on that debt.

The EFSF bond is the first issued by the eurozone and could be the first step towards a common eurozone bond that will put tax payers throughout Europe on the hook for the astronomical fractional reserve eurozone souvereign debts.

Concern that Germany, one of the few solvent nations left, may be forced to pay for all the outstanding eurozone debt, including Ireland’s, is already making itself felt. German bond auctions have hardly drawn enough bids to cover the amounts on auction in the last few months.

While Ireland may initially have to pay lower rates for the “eurobonds” on its bank-engineered souvereign debt, Germany had to pay higher interest rates at an auction of German ten year bunds today. It sold 3.9 billion euros of Bunds at 2.87 % interest rate, up from 2.5% last time, surely amid fears that its economy will be dragged down by the requirement to service the entire eurozone’s debt via some transfer mechanism.

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLDE7040Q620110105

The move by the EU and banks to issue eurobonds underlines the increasingly lawless nature of EU institution.

A complaint has been filed against the EFSF at the German  Constitutional Court and a ruling that such a fund violates the constitution is expected in Spring.

In addition, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is reported to have been accompanied to Brussels on December 22^nd by Constitutional court judges. This was to underline that transferring German tax payer’s money to other countries to pay off their debt via direct transfers or eurobonds violates German law.

The little reprted move by the EU to unilaterally issue eurobonds through the EFSF , led by Klaus Regling who worked for the IMF, comes as the eurozone grapples with an unprecedented crisis.

European states and banks need to rollover a 800 billion of debt in 2011. January is seen as a key month with about 80 billion euros of eurozone government and bank bonds up for auction.

The costs of govenrment borrowing have been pushed sharply higher recently as investors realise that the payment of interest on the fractional reserve banking debt will ultimately push all European economies into permanent a debt deflationary depression and permanent decline.

China has started to buy peripheral eurozone government bonds to prolong the life of the doomed euro and increase its political influence over Europe.

As Vienna economist Franz Hörmann has pointed out in an interview in Der Standard (“Banks create money out of air”), China prints money without creating a debt and so enjoys a huge financial advantage over the USA and Europe.

It is this system of creating money that has made China so prosperous while the USA faces hyperinflation to pay off its gigantic debts and the eurozone debt deflationary depression.

In 2011, Europe will be forced to finally chose between confronting the criminal banks that have created the financial crisis and that need to permanently suck out capital from countries to cover up their ownbankruptcy or face social unrest on an unprecedented scale due to fiscal austerity budgets.

Servicing the debt will lead to the economic and social meltdown of eurozone states as tax money and assets go to pay interest on the black hole of  souvereign debt that will only grow.

It is to hoped there is the political leadership to force the banks to stop demanding money for their worthless paper debts, to split up commerical and investment banks and put some banks into an orderly receivership.

Given that the economies of countries like Greece, Portugal and Ireland are being smothered by mountains of debt that can never be repaid, a souvereign default – and countries perhaps leaving the eurozone to regain competitiveness — cannot be ruled out in 2011.

Even though Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel said in her Christmas address that keeping the euro was a priority for Germany, it is hard to see how Europe can be returned to the path of sustainable growth even if Germany’s manufacturing sector is strong and the EIB lends to debt stricken countries on favourable terms to boost jobs unless bank debt is restructured on a large scale or countries exit the eurozone.

If countries adopted their own courrencies, they could also set their own interest rates and also devalue and so grow again.

If no action is taken to correct the current trajectory, the eurozone will end 2011 even more deeply in debt, owned largely by the banks and China , the people will be stripped of more of their rights and embroiled in various wars against Islam by the EU’s new foreign minister Catherine Ashton.

Europe Starts Confiscating Private Pension Funds

Censored Jesse Ventura Show On FEMA Camps Survives On You Tube

From Infowars, January 5, 2011

We urge you to watch the videos below because they might not be around for much longer. Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory show about the police state and FEMA camps, which TruTV never aired because of constant government harassment and pressure, has already been memory-holed and is now under threat of being removed from You Tube as well.

The show covers the takeover plan and what they don’t want you to see – how martial law is being implemented in America. Get these videos now and share them before they disappear forever.

During his last appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Jesse Ventura confirmed that TruTV was forced to pull the show from their schedule due to government threats.

FLASHBACK: “Police State” episode of hit Ventura show covering FEMA camps pulled from air

—

Former Gov. Jesse Ventura and his crew at Conspiracy Theory have blown the FEMA camp issue wide open in a truly groundbreaking episode from the program’s second season on TruTV. The “Police State” episode proves once and for all that the feds have trained to take on American citizens, planned for riots and disasters and made preparations to maintain order at any cost. Tune in this Friday, Nov. 12 at 10 PM Eastern/ 9 PM Central and leave the denial at the door.

This powerful episode is the largest and most in-depth investigation into FEMA camps to date– and it is scheduled to air on television. Radio host and filmmaker Alex Jones returns to the series yet again, as the team takes you to confirmed on-the-ground facilities, confronts the legislators who authorized FEMA camps and breaks down the full-scale technologically-integrated police state that includes Fusion Centers, FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security and more.

At one of many real and verified FEMA locations, Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones approach a “Residential Center” run by Homeland Security in central Texas where they find locked doors, double-fences and escape warnings around the entire perimeter. Further inside the facility, they witness a playground complex, swings and slides for children. The crew walks up to the front door and attempts to get some answers. But the officials refuse to either confirm or deny the facility’s purpose, including whether or not American citizens are being held inside. However, our past investigations into this facility reveal that it has confined both children and adults, including immigrants, refugee seekers and American citizens.

Goldman Sachs and Facebook

From FSK's Guide to Reality

This story is interesting. Goldman Sachs made an investment in Facebook, giving it a valuation of approximately $50B. They are going to package them up and sell them in a special hedge fund

Those two zero hedge articles were interesting. Goldman Sachs profits from the lucrative hedge fund management fees. It makes no difference if Facebook shares go up or down. It makes no difference if the clients make money or lose money. Even if Facebook goes bankrupt in 3-5 years, Goldman Sachs might make more money off the fund management fees than they lost on the equity "investment".

A lot of hedge fund money is "stupid money". Many hedge fund investments are pension money, where the manager is wasting other people's money. A typical deal is "I'll invest in your fund if you hire my brother-in-law/friend." It's corruption capitalism.

I wonder if the "man of the year" was arranged by Goldman Sachs, so that they could have an easier time peddling Facebook shares.

Suppose I create a corporation. I issue 10 billion shares. I sell you one share for $1. Does that mean my corporation is now worth $10B?

Similarly, this deal doesn't mean Facebook is worth $50B. Goldman Sachs only paid for a tiny slice. According to what I read (but some sources disagreed), other Facebook shareholders did *NOT* have the option of selling their shares at the $50B price. Facebook employees did not have the option of selling their "units" at the $50B price. The investment went to Facebook, buying newly-issued shares.

Goldman Sachs has an incentive to overpay for Facebook. Why? Goldman Sachs is creating a special hedge fund, which will only own Facebook shares. Goldman Sachs will now sell Facebook shares to "clients" at a valuation of $50B or more!

Why does this matter? Facebook is *NOT* a public corporation. Partially due to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs and other costs, Facebook remains private.

However, the SEC has a rule "Any corporation with 500 or more shareholders must make a SEC filing, even if its shares are not listed on an exchange." Facebook and Goldman Sachs are exploiting legal loopholes and technicalities.

Facebook no longer gives its employees share grants or stock options. Instead, employees get "performance units". These units track the share price. However, they don't have the same rights as shareholders. They are only convertible to shares when/if there's an IPO. Employees can't sell the "units" like they could sell shares. (If you own shares in a pre-IPO corporation, you may sell them. You can't sell them on an exchange, but you can make an OTC sale to anyone. Facebook "units" aren't real shares, so the employees can't do this.)

Goldman Sachs is creating a special hedge fund that will invest in Facebook shares. Legally, this counts as only *ONE* Facebook shareholder, no matter how many hedge fund shareholders there are. The hedge fund is the legal owner, and not the hedge fund investors. Goldman Sachs can sell these hedge fund shares to 1000+ people, and Facebook still isn't breaking the "500 shareholder" rule. It's a legal technicality.

Facebook's "units" and Goldman Sachs' special hedge fund are explicitly designed to dodge SEC rules. Unfortunately, the SEC is a "captured regulator". Facebook got an SEC waiver, for their "units" arrangement. Goldman Sachs probably also got legal permission.

Here's another story that illustrates how sleazy Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are. Some early Facebook employees hit the jackpot on their options. Rather than let the options vest, Facebook fired them and hired cheaper replacements. Those replacements also had equity grants waived in their face! Facebook had a much higher valuation by then, and the grants were smaller.

This illustrates the fallacy of getting paid equity/options instead of cash. Suppose a Facebook employee was hired when Facebook had a valuation of $50M. Suppose that, eleven months later, Facebook had a valuation of $500M. With one year cliff vesting, that employee can now be fired and the options were worth $0. Even if some options did vest, firing the slave means you don't have to pay out the rest of them.

If you own options that are somewhat in-the-money, the value of the unvested options gives the employer less incentive to offer you a raise. Suppose I work at a startup, and I have unvested options worth $100k over two years. I don't have the leverage to ask for a cash raise, because I give up $50k/year if I quit.

As a minority shareholder, there's too many ways to get cheated. Eduardo Saverin made an early cash equity investment in Facebook, and was cheated. Mark Zuckerberg re-incorporated Facebook, moved the IP, and left Eduardo Saverin with nothing.

You don't get to be the CEO/owner of a large corporation, without being a sleazy character like Mark Zuckerberg. He's the role model. The people he robbed were clueless losers who deserved it. Does Mark Zuckerberg really have awesome business skills? Or, was his best skill that he cheated his early partners out of their share of the business? I haven't met him, so I can't be sure, but he's probably a psychopath.

Facebook and Goldman Sachs are using legal loopholes to avoid SEC rules. Unfortunately, the SEC is a captured regulator. The people disadvantaged are Facebook "units" owners, Facebook minority shareholders, and Goldman Sachs' "special hedge fund" customers.

The "special hedge fund" customers have less rights than shareholders of a public corporation. They can only sell their hedge fund shares if they find someone else dumb enough to buy them. They have to pay a hefty management fee to Goldman Sachs.

Facebook shareholders and "units" holders were not allowed to sell at the $50B valuation. (I read different opinions on that. I'm pretty sure that all Facebook shareholders and employees didn't have the option of selling at the $50B valuation.) The hedge fund shareholders probably won't be able to convert their investment to Facebook shares, until an IPO.

Facebook probably isn't really worth $50B. Goldman Sachs had an incentive to overpay. They can trick customers into buying at even-higher prices. Goldman Sachs makes money off the lucrative management fee, even if the underlying Facebook investment tanks.

Suppose that I believe that public XYZ corporation is overvalued. I can short-sell or buy put options. Suppose that I believe that Facebook is overvalued. I can't short sell. In fact, Goldman can now short sell Facebook! They can sell more "hedge fund shares" than they own Facebook shares! They can bet against their own hedge fund! It's like "The Producers"!

You might say say "So what? Some idiot hedge fund investor loses money. Why should I care?" Suppose the NY State pension fund invests in this turkey, and loses money. Then, I pay higher taxes to support the pensions. The pensions who make lousy investments may be later bailed out.

Facebook and Goldmans Sachs are flagrantly ignoring SEC rules. They are exploiting legal loopholes to dodge the "A corporation with more than 500 shareholders must make a SEC filing." rule. The Goldman investors are getting a worse deal than a straight equity investment in Facebook, because they have limited liquidity and they pay a hefty management fee to Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs makes more money off the hedge fund management fee than off anything else. In fact, Goldman Sachs (or other hedge funds) can now short sell this fund, and bet against Facebook! Goldman Sachs might maximize profits if Facebook tanks, if the "right" people short sell that hedge fund!

If the SEC wasn't a "captured regulator", they wouldn't allow nonsense like this.

The Real Crime of M. Khodorkovsky

From Voltairenet, 5 JANUARY 2011
by F. William Engdahl*

The Obama administration, in an unusual public rebuke, condemned a Moscow court for finding oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his former partner guilty of embezzling, saying it appears to be “an abusive use of the legal system for improper ends.”

Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s real crime is that he was a key part of a Western intelligence operation to dismantle and destroy what remains of Russia as a functioning state. When the facts are known the justice served on him is mild by comparison to US or UK standard treatment of those convicted of treason against the state. Obama’s torture prison at Guantánamo is merely one example of Washington’s double standard.

According to the politically correct sanitized account in Wikipedia, “Yukos Oil Company was a petroleum company in Russia which, until 2003, was controlled by Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky…Khodorkovsky was convicted and sent to prison…Yukos was one of the biggest and one of the most successful Russian companies in 2000-2003. In 2003, following a tax reassessment, the Russian government presented Yukos with a series of tax claims that amounted to $27 billion. As Yukos’s assets were frozen by the government at the same time, the company was not able to pay these tax demands. On August 1, 2006, a Russian court declared Yukos bankrupt. Most of Yukos’s assets were sold at low prices to oil companies owned by the Russian government. The Parliamentary Council of Europe has condemned Russia’s campaign against Yukos and its owners as manufactured for political reasons and a violation of human rights.”

If we dig a little deeper however we find a quite different case. As he stepped out of his private plane in Siberia in October 2003 Khodorkovsky was arrested. He was arrested, as Wikipedia correctly states, for tax crimes. What they did not say is that he at the tender age of 40 had risen to become the richest man in Russia worth some $15 billion by fraudulent acquisition of state assets during the lawless Yeltsin era. In an auction run by his own bank, Khodorkovsky paid $309 million for Yukos. In 2003 the same company was assessed as worth $45 billion, and not owing to Khodorkovsky’s management genius.

In 1998, Khodorkovsky had been let free in a US case where he was charged with helping launder $10 billion with his own bank and the Bank of New York. He had very influential friends in the US it appeared. The then head of the Bank of New York, Edmund Safra, was murdered some months later in his Monaco apartment reportedly from members of an alleged “Russian mafia” whom he had cheated in a drug money laundering scheme.

But there was more. Khodorkovsky built some impressive ties in the West. With his new billions in effect stolen from the Russian people, he made some powerful friends. He set up a foundation modeled on US billionaire George Soros’ Open Society, calling it the Open Russia Foundation. He invited two powerful Westerners to its board—Henry Kissinger and Jacob Lord Rothschild. Then he set about to develop ties with some of the most powerful circles in Washington where he was named to the Advisory Board of the secretive private equity firm, Carlyle Group where he attended board meetings with fellow advisors such as George H.W. Bush and James Baker III.

However, the real crime that landed Khodorkovsky behind Russian bars was the fact that he was in the middle of making a US-backed coup d’etat to capture the Russian presidency in planned 2004 Russian Duma elections. Khodorkovsky was in the process of using his enormous wealth to buy enough seats in the coming Duma elections that he could change Russian laws regarding ownership of oil in the ground and of pipelines transporting same. In addition he planned to directly challenge Putin and become Russian President. As part of the horse trade that won Putin the tacit support of the wealthy so-called Russian Oligarchs, Putin had extracted agreement that they be allowed to hold on to their wealth provided they repatriate a share back into Russia and provided they not interfere in domestic Russian politics with their wealth. Most oligarchs agreed, as did Khodorkovsky at the time. They remain established Russian businessmen. Khodorkovsky did not.

Moreover, at the time of his arrest Khodorkovsky was in the process of negotiating via his Carlyle friend George H.W. Bush, father of the then-President George W. Bush, the sale of 40% of Yukos to either Condi Rice’s former company, Chevron or ExxonMobil in a move that would have dealt a crippling blow to the one asset left Russia and Putin to use for the rebuilding of the wrecked Russian economy: oil and export via state-owned pipelines to the West for dollars. During the ensuing Russian state prosecution of Yukos, it came to light that Khodorkovsky had also secretly made a contract with London’s Lord Rothschild not merely to support Russian culture via the Open Russia Foundation of Khodorkovsky. In the event of his possible arrest (Khodorkovsky evidently knew he was playing a high-risk game trying to crwate a coup against Putin) the 40% share of his Yukos stocks would pass into the hands of Lord Rothschild.

The crocodile tears of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the violations of Khodorkovsky’s human rights hide a far deeper agenda that is not being admitted. Washington used the Russian to try to reach its goal of totally destroying the only power left on the earth with sufficient military strike power to challenge the Pentagon’s Full Spectrum Dominance strategy—control of the entire planet. When seen in that light the sweet loaded words “human rights” take on a quite different meaning.
