Just as the DHS congressional Feb 27th budget deadline and possible
shutdown nears, a conveniently timed new domestic terror alert was
issued today by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. Two weeks ago
Jeh Johnson also warned that a lapse in funding would cause a “terrible
disruption,” and “A shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security in
these times is frankly too bitter to contemplate, but we have to
contemplate it,”
Could this be another politically motivated scare tactic being used against the US Congress and the American people?

CITIZENFOUR just won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film. In
honor of the truth Edward Snowden speaks and the Award given at Sunday
nights Oscar Awards, we present this February 12th conversation with
Snowden and CITIZENFOUR Director Laura Poitras. It also happens to by
Journalist David Carr’s final interview due to his untimely death just
hours later.
Late Thursday night on Feb. 12, New York Times media columnist David Carr was pronounced dead at the age of 58, having collapsed earlier that evening in the paper’s newsroom. Deemed “the finest media reporter of his generation” by Times executive editor Dean Baquet, Carr most recently penned Monday’s “The Media Equation” column for the paper, which “analyzed news and developments in publishing, television, social media.”

There are many documented false flag attacks, where a government carries out a terror attack … and then falsely blames its enemy for political purposes.
In the following 42 instances, officials in the government which carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admits to it, either orally or in writing:
(1) Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria. This is known as the “Mukden Incident” or the “Manchurian Incident”. The Tokyo International Military Tribunal found: “Several of the participators in the plan, including Hashimoto [a high-ranking Japanese army officer], have on various occasions admitted their part in the plot and have stated that the object of the ‘Incident’ was to afford an excuse for the occupation of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army ….” And see this.

Most Americans spend their lives working for others, paying off debts
to others and performing tasks that others tell them that they “must”
do. These days, we don’t like to think of ourselves as “servants” or
“slaves”, but that is what the vast majority of us are. It is just that
the mechanisms of our enslavement have become much more sophisticated
over time. It has been said that the borrower is the servant of the
lender, and most of us start going into debt very early into our adult
years. In fact, those that go to college to “get an education”
are likely to enter the “real world” with a staggering amount of debt.
And of course that is just the beginning of the debt accumulation.
Today, when you add up all mortgage debt, all credit card debt and all
student loan debt, the average American household is carrying a grand
total of 203,163 dollars of debt. Overall, American households are more than 11 trillion dollars in debt
at this point. And even though most Americans don’t realize this, over
the course of our lifetimes the amount of money that we will repay on
our debts is far greater than the amount that we originally borrowed.
In fact, when it comes to credit card debt you can easily end up
repaying several times the amount of money that you originally
borrowed. So we work our fingers to the bone to pay off these debts,
and the vast majority of us are not even working for ourselves.
Instead, our work makes the businesses that other people own more
profitable. So if we spend the best years of our lives building
businesses for others, servicing debts that we owe to others and making
others wealthier, what does that make us?

The media, your pediatrician, politicians and health authorities like
the CDC and FDA claim that vaccines are safe and effective. So why do
hundreds of peer-reviewed studies indicate the opposite is true? Read,
download, and share this document widely to provide the necessary
evidence-based counterbalance to the pro-vaccination propaganda that has
globally infected popular consciousness and discussion like an
intractable disease.
It is abundantly clear that if the present-day vaccine climate, namely, that everyone must comply with the CDC’s one-size-fits-all vaccination schedule or be labeled a health risk to society at large, is to succumb to open and balanced discussion, it is the peer-reviewed biomedical evidence itself that is going to pave the way towards making rational debate on the subject happen.

This is the biggest problem facing the world today, namely that at least 9 countries have debt/GDP above 300%, and that a whopping 39% countries have debt-to-GDP of over 100%!
While
Friday's 'agreement' to agree to agreeing a deal that would be
agreeable between The Eurogroup (and its 'Institutions') and Greece was
heralded by the markets as a success for avoiding a Greek Exit
(Grexit), there are numerous hurdles left in the next few months that
could derail this process and bring about the re-introduction of the
Drachma. As Deutsche Bank concludes, Greece’s (reluctant) request for a bailout extension is the first step in what is likely to be a difficult path to compromise...
With
homebuilder sentiment slipping,blamed on the weather (despite
improvement in the Northeast), Architecture billings down, and lumber
prices down, it should not be totally surprising that existing home
sales collapsed in January (-4.9% against expectations of -1.8% to a worse than expected 4.82 million SAAR). This is the lowest existing home sales since April. Oh - and before the talking heads blame the weather - the biggest drop in home sales was in The West
(with its warm, dry, sunny home-buying climate). Considering that
existing home sales most recent peak in 2014 failed to take out the
previous government-sponsored peak in 2013 and remains 30% or more below
the 2005 peak, and claims that the housing recovery is in tact are
greatly exaggerated.

Many current members of Congress, especially progressives, may have
envisioned how they would have handled the Tonkin Gulf crisis in 1964.
In their imaginations, they would have asked probing questions and
treated the dubious assertions from the White House with tough
skepticism before voting on whether to give President Lyndon Johnson the
authority to go to war in Vietnam.
If they had discovered what CIA and Pentagon insiders already knew – that the crucial second North Vietnamese “attack” on U.S. destroyers likely never happened and that the U.S. warships were not on some “routine” patrol but rather supporting a covert attack on North Vietnamese territory – today’s members of Congress would likely see themselves joining Sens. Wayne Morse and Ernest Gruening as the only ones voting no.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had strong words Saturday for
Russia over what he called its unacceptable actions in Ukraine — and
threatened additional sanctions against Russian interests.
Speaking in London alongside UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, Kerry said Russia was “continuing to do land-grabbing in Ukraine” even as it professed to support peace efforts.
Russia’s actions are “just simply unacceptable, so we are talking about additional sanctions, additional efforts,” Kerry said.

There’s a familiar ring to the U.S.calls to arm Ukraine’s post-coup
government, and that’s because the same big-money players who stand to
benefit from belligerent relations with Russia haven’t forgotten a
favorite Cold War tune.
President Obama has said that he won’t rule out arming Ukraine if a recent truce, which has all but evaporated, fails like its predecessor. His comments echoed the advice of a report issued a week prior by three prominent U.S. think tanks: the Brookings Institute, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Atlantic Council. The report advocated sending $1 billion worth of “defensive” military assistance to Kiev’s pro-Western government.

Investors, driven to near insanity by the Fed’s interest rate
repression, have developed an insatiable lust for structured securities
backed by subprime auto loans.
Mind you, these are not high-risk securities, as you might be misled to imagine from the name “subprime”; many of them are triple-A rated by none other than venerable Standard & Poor’s, which agreed in early February to pay $1.375 billion to settle with the Department of Justice and 19 state agencies the allegations that it “had engaged in a scheme to defraud investors in structured financial products,” namely slapping triple-A ratings on toxic Mortgage-Backed Securities and Collateralized Debt Obligations in the run-up to the Financial Crisis.
