Riporto una serie di considerazioni, tra loro pure contrastanti, e dati alla mano fate le vostre considerazioni anche se nessun politico o banchiere ve le ha chieste dato che la crisi la gestiscono loro mentre noi paghiamo. Dioni
Non bastava dunque il MES, il Meccanismo Europeo di Stabilità, la cui entrata in vigore è definitiva dato che ieri è stato approvato dalla Corte Costituzionale tedesca, dopo essere stato approvato a luglio in italia. Non era sufficiente neppure il Fiscal Compact, o meglio il pareggio di bilancio, che trasforma un’entità illegittima – il debito – in una leva costituzionale bastevole a giustificare qualunque tipo di provvedimento che il governo di turno decida di calare sulle teste degli Italiani.
Ora l’Unione Europea sforna l’ERF, European Redemption Fund, o per meglio dire il Fondo Europeo di Redenzione (o Riscatto). Il 13 giugno scorso infatti il Parlamento europeo ha approvato, con il voto su due risoluzioni, il regolamento per il rafforzamento della governance dell’UE, si tratta quindi di ratificarlo nei singoli paesi.
L’European redemption fund (Erf) farebbe confluire l’importo dei vari debiti pubblici degli Stati dell’Eurozona per la parte eccedente il 60% del PIL in un apposito fondo; l’Erf verrebbe garantito dagli Stati nazionali membri attraverso i loro asset pubblici e da almeno una percentuale di tasse riscosse a livello nazionale. Tale fondo, poi, emetterebbe bonds europei caratterizzati da una rigorosa scadenza di 20, massimo 25 anni. In questo lasso di tempo, tutti gli Stati aderenti avrebbero, inoltre, l’obbligo di assettare il proprio rapporto debito/PIL al 60%. Ci troviamo di fronte, quindi, ad un fondo la cui esistenza è temporaneamente limitata e che comunque deve essere completamente rimborsato dagli Stati membri alla fine della sua durata. Da questa soluzione (che non implicherebbe la riformulazione dei Trattati esistenti o la scrittura di nuovi, ma che può essere concretizzata mediante semplici intese) Paesi come l’Italia dovrebbero ricevere il vantaggio di pagare nel complesso interessi sul debito relativamente bassi, mentre Paesi come la Germania dovrebbero sopportare costi maggiori rispetto agli attuali per finanziare interamente il relativo debito.
Proprio al fine di compensare questo sbilanciamento, i Paesi finanziariamente ed economicamente più solidi pretenderebbero in cambio un rispetto vero e proprio degli impegni presi. L’Italia, ad esempio, sarebbe tenuta a perseguire scrupolosamente un percorso finanziario ben delineato al fine di portarla nei tempi stabiliti al 60% del rapporto debito/PIL, ed i miglioramenti in materia verrebbero annualmente ed accuratamente valutati. Se ci dovesse essere un allontanamento dalla “retta via” non è affatto esclusa, come extrema ratio, l’ipotesi di cacciata dal fondo … tutto questo perlomeno in teoria.
In cambio dell’obbligo (controllato a vista da ispettori) a pagare una sorta di mega mutuo per azzerare il debito sopra il 60% esso offre tassi quasi tedeschi, si stima circa 80-100 punti base sopra il Bund, forse addirittura zero.
Non è poco, si tratta di uno sconto gigantesco rispetto ai tassi che l’Italia ha sempre pagato sul suo debito, solo che questa volta vanno restituite anche quote di capitale.
Considerazioni sull’ERF di Rischiocalcolato.it
Qui bisogna intendersi su una questione fondamentale: Vogliamo ridurre il nostro debito pubblico oppure no e fare una bancarotta classica ( o uscire dall’euro etc etc)?
Come sapete io penso che il modo corretto e meno doloroso di uscire dalla tenaglia del debito sia pagarlo, dunque non riesco a giudicare il redemption fund in termini negativi, ed anzi lo vedo come uno strumento eccezionalmente conveniente per gestire il nostro debito pubblico. Ovviamente il rischio sta nell’escussione della garanzia. Cioè se l’Italia ritardasse o non effettuasse i pagamenti previsti scatterebbero clausole automatiche sul nostro patrimonio. (si ipotizza che ad esempio,che l’oro fisico di ciascuna banca centrale europea venga trasferito temporaneamente alla BCE la quale farebbe da garante e da “banco” per punire chi sgarra).
Peraltro il redemption fund, deresponsabilizerebbe la nostra scassata classe politica in senso positivo, cioè il Bersani di turno se la potrebbe comodamente prendere col redemption fund ( e i soliti cattivi tedeschi) ove dovesse prendere decisioni impopolari.
Al solito la differenza verrà fatta da COME il redemption fund verrà pagato, ovvero se dalla leva fiscale oppure dai tagli di spesa e dalla cessione di patrimonio pubblico improduttivo (perchè in mano allo Stato).
Risoluzioni approvate
La prima risoluzione (clicca qui), denominata Gauzes, dal nome del relatore, è stata approvata con il 73% dei voti a favore (qui è possibile vedere il dettaglio) e ha messo nero su bianco un principio da far accapponare la pelle: l’assoggettamento a tutela giuridica di uno Stato membro (a decorrere dal 2017). Ciò significa che ‘le autorità dello Stato membro interessato attuano le misure raccomandate (dalle istituzioni europee, NdA) relative all’assistenza tecnica (…) e presentano alla Commissione un piano di ripresa e di liquidazione dei debiti per approvazione. Cioè il Governo nazionale perde ogni tipo di potere decisionale e operativo; in altre parole lo Stato è privato totalmente della propria sovranità. In altri termini potremmo dire che è commissariato. Formalmente occupato dall’esercito della grande finanza internazionale. Nessun complottismo, dunque…è una vera e propria dittatura dell’euro e dell’UE. Non a caso, l’ex presidente Cossiga si esprimeva in questi termini: “l’organizzazione politica più antidemocratica che esiste oggi al mondo è l’Unione Europea. (…) se uno stato sovrano si fosse dato un’organizzazione istituzionale come quella dell’UE saremmo scesi tutti quanti in piazza. Armati.”
La risoluzione Ferreira (clicca qui), approvata con il 74% dei voti favorevoli (vedi qui), stringe il cappio, introducendo appunto il nuovo fondo, l’ERF – il Fondo Europeo di Redenzione (o Riscatto). Tecnicamente, è l’articolo 6 quinquies a definire il biblico provvedimento, ‘al fine di ridurre il debito eccessivo nell’arco di un periodo di 25 anni’. Gli Stati membri dovrebbero trasferire ‘gli importi debitori superiori al 60% del PIL all’ERF nell’arco di un periodo di avviamento di 5 anni’, attuare ‘una strategia di consolidamento di bilancio e un’agenda di riforme strutturali’,costituire ‘garanzie per coprire adeguatamente i prestiti concessi dall’ERF’, ridurre ‘i rispettivi disavanzi strutturali durante il periodo di avviamento per rispettare le norme di bilancio’. Il passaggio sicuramente più insidioso è quello relativo alle garanzie: secondo gli analisti tedeschi, l’Italia dovrebbe partecipare al fondo con la quota più grande (40%), ovvero oltre 950 miliardi di euro. Per coprire il prestito dell’ERF, l’Italia potrebbe essere costretta a cedere (almeno per 25 anni) una frazione più o meno cospicua del gettito delle imposte nazionali, a vendere una parte del patrimonio (asset) pubblico, a dare in pegno le proprie riserve auree e di valuta estera. Perdendo tutto, nel caso non riesca a onorare il prestito dell’ERF. Siamo dunque in un nuovo circolo vizioso: riforme strutturali e ripianamento di un debito illegittimo, attraverso un nuovo ricorso a prestito (ovvio, no?! secondo la logica degli usurai è infatti normale che una persona indebitata faccia ricorso a nuovi prestiti!). Ma questa volta gli strozzini vogliono garanzie a copertura: ci penseranno le nostre tasse e il patrimonio del nostro paese.
Il Parlamento Europeo (con poche lodevoli eccezioni) fiancheggia dunque, più o meno ignaro, le istituzioni antidemocratiche europee, come la Commissione e la BCE, e aiuta le banche e la finanza mondiale a dissanguarci, attraverso il nuovo Fondo Europeo di Redenzione.
Parliamoci chiaro: se ci sembrava essere di aver raggiunto il fondo con le ‘raccomandazioni’ poco amorevoli dell’UE, il pareggio di bilancio, il meccanismo europeo di stabilità, dobbiamo cambiare idea: l’ERF ci sta traghettando all’inferno. Non abbiamo scuse: solo noi possiamo realmente ‘redimerci’, riscattarci come cittadini, affrancandoci da questa Europa e dai partiti complici e conniventi con banche e grande finanza. Solo poi possiamo liberarci dalla dittatura del Dio denaro.

Ma quali sarebbero per noi le conseguenze e quali i vantaggi di un simile scenario? Il team londinese di Mediobanca Securities, guidato da Antonio Guglielmi, tenta di rispondere al quesito con una simulazione che si basa su alcune assunzioni: un costo di rifinanziamento dell’Erf pari al 3,25% annuo, un tasso di crescita reale medio annuo del Pil, nell’eurozona, di 1/1,5 punti percentuali, e un tasso di inflazione non oltre il 2%.
Il Fondo, nel modello elaborato, avrebbe, dal momento della costituzione, una vita residua di 25/30 anni, periodo sufficiente a “redimere” le quote eccedenti. Per l’Italia si tratta di conferire la porzione maggiore, pari a circa 950 miliardi di euro: circa il 40% del totale, che ammonterebbe a 2.300 miliardi qualora dal Fondo venissero esclusi i paesi già sotto tutela congiunta di Fmi e Ue (Portogallo, Irlanda, Grecia).
I vantaggi sarebbero consistenti: per la quota conferita, il paese trarrebbe risparmi sul rifinanziamento di 24 miliardi l’anno (1,5% del Pil). Ne godremmo più della Spagna (0,3% del Pil) in virtù del peso minore della quota madrilena, mentre la Germania dovrebbe sopportare un extra-costo pari allo 0,4% del prodotto.
Ma non è tutto oro quel che luccica: i paesi aderenti sarebbero sottoposti a una stretta condizionalità: una parte delle entrate fiscali dovrebbe esser destinata a ripagare le quote in maturazione dello stock trasferito, in modo da annullare il carico totale nei termini stabiliti.
Gli stati dovrebbero anche immobilizzare collaterali a garanzia dell’Erf, pari almeno al 20% dell’importo confluito. Il collaterale verrebbe “sbloccato” solo ad “espiazione” raggiunta.
Mediobanca stima che, per l’Italia, durante i primi anni di attività dell’Erf, circa l’8% delle entrate fiscali dovrebbe essere asservito al meccanismo di redenzione, ma la percentuale si ridurrebbe con il passare degli anni, riducendosi a meno del 3% nell’ultimo decennio di vita del Fondo.
In termini di budget, i vincoli alle spese sarebbero stringenti. E i tagli draconiani: se l’Erf fosse entrato in vigore nel 2011, il Belpaese avrebbe dovuto sforbiciare la spesa di ben 16 punti percentuali, mentre necessiterebbe di un avanzo primario pari – in media – al 4% annuo, per più di due decenni, al fine di redimere interamente la propria quota.
Basti pensare che, con i sacrifici sostenuti dagli italiani nel 2011, l’avanzo al netto degli interessi è stato pari all’1% del Pil. Certo, si tratta pur sempre di una stima, ma indicativa dei costi approssimativi di una simile strategia.
L’Italia, nel passato, ha già dato dimostrazione di poter mantenere avanzi primari per periodi prolungati, ma bloccare il bilancio per quasi tre decenni sembra una sfida di portata immane, anche dal punto di vista politico.
Per questo, secondo Guglielmi, un piano di drastica riduzione dello stock del debito, da effettuare per mezzo di cessioni del patrimonio pubblico, potrebbe affiancare l’Erf, riducendo il rigore di bilancio anno per anno, e i sacrifici per i contribuenti.
Considerazioni di Byoblu.com
Ecco la trascrizione del video.
Si chiama pignoramento dello stipendio, e molti di voi la conoscono come quella pratica odiosa cui un creditore può ricorrere per farsi pagare. Per dirla in parole povere: quel che guadagni ti viene decurtato di un quinto o di un terzo a vita, o fino a quando il debito non sia stato ripianato. E’ odiosa perché, in qualche modo, seppure matematicamente sia a somma zero, non aggredisce il tuo patrimonio, ma ti toglie direttamente il futuro, per cui ti regala la sgradevole sensazione di essere un condannato nel braccio della morte, che vive solo per attendere l’ora della sua uccisione.
Dopo avere ideato fondi di stabilizzazione nei quali iniettiamo decine di miliardi; dopo avere ideato un meccanismo di stabilità per il quale pagheremo 8 miliardi entro l’anno e centinaia in prospettiva; dopo avere deciso che noi italiani dobbiamo pagare 20 miliardi per le banche spagnole, indebitandoci al posto loro, oggi le politiche strozza-popoli di quel nodo scorsoio economico nel quale si è trasformata l’Europa ne stanno inventando un’altra.
Si chiama European Redemption Fund (ERF per gli amici), cioè Fondo di Redenzione (nel senso di estinzione) Europeo. L’idea è che, siccome siamo stati cattivi, ora dobbiamo essere redenti, come se ci fosse poi un unto del Signore in grado di confessare gli stati e comminare il giusto numero di Ave Marie economiche. Il peccato capitale è il debito pubblico. Fa niente che sia divenuto il male assoluto solo perché ci hanno tolto gli strumenti per rifinanziarcelo da soli, ovvero la sovranità monetaria: deve calare sotto al 60% del Pil e basta. Ma come fare? Difficile, in un momento in cui vige la religione dell’austerity, alla quale come monaci autoflagellanti ci imponiamo di obbedire - chissà, forse nella speranza di guadagnarci un posto nel paradiso dei neoliberisti -: le tasche sono vuote e sotto al materasso non c’è più niente.
Ci voleva il colpo di genio. E la brillante idea è arrivata. Così hanno preso spunto da quelle società finanziarie che prima ricoprono lo sprovveduto e incauto cittadino di soldi spesso non richiesti e poi, quando è in difficoltà, procedono a pignorargli lo stipendio a vita. E qual è lo stipendio di uno Stato? Sono le sue entrate fiscali, naturalmente. Perché dunque non pignorare le tasse degli stati con un debito pubblico superiore al 60% del Pil per una ventina di anni? Secondo Goldman Sachs, si tratta di ragionare su qualcosa come 1541 miliardi per la Germania, 1193 per la Francia, 954 per l’Italia, 652 per la Spagna, 364 per l’Olanda, 225 per il Belgio e 181 per l’Austria. Si parte con 2,3 miliardi di euro in totale. Certo, per garantire il fondo, gli stati beneficiari del pignoramento (sembra un ossimoro: uno che beneficia dalla sua stessa confisca dello stipendio) dovranno tirare fuori le proprie riserve di oro (guarda un po’), che sono l’unica certezza rimasta, visto che il metallo prezioso è la sola valuta universalmente accettata e che non dipende dai giochetti computerizzati di questi nerds dell’alta finanza, che dopo gli accordi di Bretton Woods hanno potuto sbizzarrirsi con le loro funamboliche masturbazioni monetarie. Una volta messo finalmente l’oro sul piatto, loro procedono a pignorarci le entrate tributarie fino al 2035 o giù di lì. E se le tasse non bastano (sai com’è, c’è l’austerity)? ZAC: via l’oro! Loro chi? Non si sa, esattamente come non si sa quali organizzazioni finanziarie gestiranno il MES, il Meccanismo Europeo di Stabilità sul quale non potremo avere informazioni perché i documenti saranno secretati e inviolabili, tranne che dovremo dargli almeno 125 miliardi: questa è l’unica informazione che ci viene gentilmente concessa.
Wolfgang Schäuble, il ministro delle finanze tedesco, ha già detto che non si può fare, perché l’ERF violerebbe i trattati europei, i quali sostengono che nessun paese può essere considerato responsabile del debito pubblico di un altro. Curioso, veramente curioso, visto che è dall’inizio della crisi che non facciamo altro che indebitarci per salvare altri paesi dai loro debiti, e ora perfino le banche dai loro stessi debiti. Ma forse Schäuble intendeva dire che è alla Germania che i trattati impediscono di essere responsabile verso le sue colonie, visto che se partisse il Redemption Fund gli spread (secondo gli analisti che notoriamente ci azzeccano sempre) si stringerebbero parecchio, e i tedeschi non potrebbero più recuperare soldi freschi a interessi virtualmente zero sulle spalle degli altri, avvantaggiandosi di un tasso di accrescimento industriale che dal 1999 al 2010 è passato dallo 0,9% al 9%, di una disoccupazione che nello stesso periodo è scesa dal 10,5% al 7,4% per toccare il 6,7% di quest’anno e di un tasso di crescita del Pil partito all’1,5% e finito due anni fa al 3,5%. Invece, se partisse l’ERF, costerebbe qualcosa come lo 0,6% del Pil tedesco per ogni anno di pignoramento. E loro a queste cose ci tengono.
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE. 64th CONGRESS, 1st SESSION VOLUME 53, PART 7 Page 6781 25 April 1916
I wish to put in the RECORD the secret treaty of Verona of November 22, 1822, showing what this ancient conflict is between the rule of the few and the rule of the many. I wish to call the attention of the Senate to this treaty because it is the threat of this treaty which was the basis of the Monroe doctrine. It throws a powerful white light upon the conflict between monarchial government and government by the people. The Holy Alliance under the influence of Metternich, the Premier of Austria, in 1822, issued this remarkable secret document :
Senator Robert Latham Owen brings to light a silent Declaration of War against Popular Government, secretly schemed by monarchical nations shortly after the successful American Revolution and America's second successful victory against the British in the War of 1812.
SECRET TREATY OF VERONA
The undersigned, specially authorized to make some additions to the treaty of the Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective credentials, have agreed as follows :
ARTICLE 1. The high contracting powers being convinced that the system of representative govern- ment is egually as incompatible with the monarchial principles as the maxim of the sovereignty of the people with the high devine right, engage mutually in the most solemn manner, to use all their efforts to put an end to the system of representative governments, in whatever country it may exhist in Europe, and to prevent its being introduced in those countries where it is not yet known.
ART. 2. As it can not be doubted that the liberty of the press is the most powerful means used by the pretended supporters of the rights of nations to the detrement of those princes, the high contracting parties promise reciprocally to adopt all proper measures to suppress it, not only in their own states but also in the rest of Europe.
ART. 3. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the high contracting parties declare it to be their intention to sustain in their respective States those measures which the clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorating their own interests, so intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of the princes ; and the contracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already done for them, and solicit his constant cooperation in their views of submitting the nations.
ART. 4. The situation of Spain and Portugal unite unhappily all the circumstances to which this treaty has particular reference. The high contracting parties, in confiding to France the care of putting an end to them, engaged to assist her in the manner which may the least compromit them with their own people and the people of France by means of a subsidy on the part of the two empires of 20,000,000 of francs every year from the date of the signature of this treaty to the end of the war.
ART. 5. In order to establish in the Peninsula the order of things which exhisted before the revolution of Cadiz, and to insure the entire execution of the articles of the present treaty, the high contracting parties give to each other the reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are not fulfilled, rejecting all other ideas of utility or other measure to be taken, they will address themselves with the shortest possible delay to all the authorities exhisting in their States and to all their agents in foreign countries, with the view to establish connections tending toward the accomplishment of the objects proposed by this treaty.
ART. 6. This treaty shall be renewed with such changes as new circumstances may give occasion for, either at a new congress or at the court of one of the contracting parties, as soon as the war with Spain shall be terminated.
ART. 7. The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications exchanged at Paris within the space of six months.
Made at Verona the 22d November, 1822.

I ask to have printed in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD this secret treaty, because I think it ought to be called now to the attention of the people of the United States and of the world. This evidence of the conflict between the rule of the few verses popular government should be emphasized on the minds of the people of the United States, that the conflict now waging throughout the world may be more clearly understood, for after all said the great pending war springs from the weakness and frailty of government by the few, where human error is far more probable than the error of the many where aggressive war is only permitted upon the authorizing vote of those whose lives are jeopardized in the trenches of modern war.
Mr. SHAFROTH. Mr. President, I should like to have the senator state whether in that treaty there was not a coalition formed between the powerful countries of Europe to reestablish the sovereignty of Spain in the Republics of South and Central America?
Mr. OWEN. I was just going to comment upon that, and I am going to take but a few moments to do so because I realize the preasure of other matters. This Holy Alliance, having put a Bourbon prince upon the throne of France by force, then used France to suppress the constitution of Spain immediately afterwards, and by this very treaty gave her a subsidy of 20,000,000 francs annually to enable her to wage war upon the people of Spain and to prevent their exercise of any measure of the right of self-government. The Holy Alliance immediately did the same thing in Italy, by sending Austrian troops to Italy, where the people there attempted to exercise a like measure of liberal constitutional self-government ; and it was not until the printing press, which the Holy Alliance so stoutly opposed, taught the people of Europe the value of liberty that finally one country after another seized a greater and greater right of self government, until now it may be fairly said that nearly all the nations of Europe have a very large measure of self government. However, I wish to call the attention of the Senate and the country to this important history in the growth of constitutional popular self-government. The Holy Alliance made its powers felt by the wholesale drastic suppression of the press in Europe, by universal censorship, by killing free speech and all ideas of popular rights, and by the complete suppression of popular government. The Holy Alliance having destroyed popular government in Spain and in Italy, had well-laid plans also to destroy popular government in the American colonies which had revolted from Spain and Portugal in Central and South America under the influence of the successful example of the United States. It was because of this conspiracy against the American Republics by the Europian monarchies that the great English statesman, Canning, called the attention of our government to it, and our statesmen then, including Thomas Jefferson, took an active part to bring about the declaration by President Monroe in his next annual message to the Congress of the United States that the United States should regard it as an act of hostility to the government of the United States and an unfriendly act if this coalition or if any power of Europe ever undertook to establish upon the American Continent any control of any American Republic or to acquire any territorial rights. This is the so-called Monroe doctrine. The threat under the secret treaty of Verona to suppress popular governments in the American Republics is the basis of the Monroe doctrine. This secret treaty sets forth clearly the conflict between monarchial government and popular government and the government of the few as against the government of the many. It is a part, in reality, of developing popular sovereignty when we demand for women equal rights to life, to liberty, to the possession of property, to an equal voice in the making of the laws and the administration of the laws. This demand on the part of the women is made by men, and it ought to be made by men as well as by thinking, progressive women, as it will promote human liberty and human happiness. I sympathize with it, and I hope that all parties will in the national conventions give their approval to this larger measure of liberty to the better half of the human race.
6. The experience we have had, has made us acquainted with the many advantages that have been taken by the Society of its intervention in the marriages of the House of Austria, and of those which have been effected in other kingdoms, France, Poland, and in various duchies. Forasmuch assembling, proposing with prudence, selecting choice persons who may be friends and families of the relatives, and of the friends of the Society. 7. It will be easy to gain the princesses, making use of their valets; by that coming to feed and nourish with relations of friendship, by being located at the entrance in all parts, and thus become acquainted with the most intimate secrets of the familiars.Secret Instructions of The Company of Jesus: Chapter II.
La notizia è stata diffusa dal quotidiano online IbTimes. Il giornalista freelance Jim Stone, sostiene con convinzione che l'attacco all'ambasciata di Benghazi non sia mai avvenuto. Lo scrive sul suo blog. Il giornalista, si legge su IbTimes, "afferma la non esistenza di un'ambasciata Usa a Benghazi in quanto, secondo il sito ufficiale del Dipartimento di Stato Usa, l'unica ambasciata in Libia risulta essere quella di Tripoli".
L'ambasciata di Benghazi, quindi, non esisterebbe. La prova è anche su Google Maps, dove non è possibile individuare ambasciate americane a Benghazi. Anche su Wikipedia, la lista delle ambasciate Usa conferma la presenza dell'unica ambasciata a Tripoli. A Benghazi, secondo il giornalista, non esisterebbe neanche un consolato e nessun edificio diplomatico americano.
THERE IS NO U.S. EMBASSY, CONSULATE, OR ANY U.S. REPRESENTATION OF ANY SORT IN BENGHAZI LIBYA. EMBASSY KILLINGS NEVER HAPPENED.
Le foto che circolano in rete, e che ritrarrebbero l'edificio di Benghazi distrutto, sarebbero, secondo il giornalista, false. Nessuno ne può confermare la veridicità.
"Sarete preoccupati di ciò che potrà succedere in futuro. Questa menzogna è talmente ovvia che potremmo distruggere la credibilità di Cnn, Fox, Abc e quant'altro. Non perdiamo questa occasione." Queste le pesanti parole che il giornalista ha pubblicato sul suo blog.

This will no doubt get plastered all over the web, but like just about anything I put up, it originated here. WE TOTALLY HAVE THE SCAMMING MEDIA BY THE BALLS HERE, WE CAN WAKE UP THE SHEEP WITH THIS, ARCHIVE AND POST!!!
So how, PRAY TELL, was a U.S. consulate raided there, people murdered there, and butt raped in the name of Mohammed? This is BEYOND wag the dog!
Here is the link to the Department of State web site, with a complete list of All U.S. embassies, consulates, and diplomatic missions world wide.http://www.usembassy.gov/ There is one in Libya, obviously in Tripoli. And I will state right now that I have that Embassy page saved and captured, in case someone decides to bury this by faking Benghazi in for a while.
To further bolster this fact, Here is Google Maps of Benghazi Libya. Delete Benghazi Libya from the search window, and type the word EMBASSY or CONSULATE there. Because one does not exist in Benghazi, it will throw you to an alternative location near you. Here is the Wikipedia list, no doubt soon to be faked, it will happen fast here. Won't last long and if any fakes get thrown in, well, there are TONS of lists out there, and I will just snag another. They can't bury this lie.
No wonder the Libyans are pissed! Is ANY of this real? Are there ANY embassy raids or riots happening ANYWHERE? This kind of desperate lying would indeed be used if an attack on Iran was SO IMMINENT THAT THE CONSEQUENCES OF GETTING CAUGHT IN THE LIE ARE IRRELEVANT. All they need is to fake it till they make the vote, and then say OOPS, we got the story wrong.
This begs the question, WHERE did the pictures and video come from? Answer. The U.S. and Israel are so guilty of so many war crimes that this type of footage is commonplace in archives. Since the consulate does not exist, they can put up any picture of any building they want and call it that, and no one is going to say "that is not what it looks like".
Many of you are worried about what is coming next. They handed us the silver bullet. Please use this bullet to shoot out the heart of the media werewolf, THIS IS THE BIG CHANCE. This lie is SO BRAZEN and SO OBVIOUS that it should be enough to tip the balance and destroy the credibility of CNN, FOX, ABC, YOU NAME IT, ONCE AND FOR ALL WITH ANYONE. Don't miss this chance, because once awaken to the fact that the media really does lie, a blinded lamb will often go bull stomping crazy.
And with the darkness of this hour, we definitely need it.
This article has withstood the scrutiny of several people on the forum who worked through the night to protect the credibility of this web site (and I thank them). One of them pointed out THIS ARTICLE, which speaks of the reopening of the U.S. embassy in Tripoli on August 27, which had to be rebuilt new after the war. Don't let this confuse you, there is no Benghazi embassy, consulate, or diplomatic mission too new to be in any record.
GO HANG THEM.
On top of this, the various news agencies can't even get the location of the consulate straight, proof of a bullshit story.
Since the consulate is a fiction, both pictures will do because NO ONE is going to be able to check up on the story anyway. Last I heard, the State Department is no longer answering questions with regard to the embassy, probably because people can't figure out where it really is.
Article dated 6-6-2012 speaks of a "Benghazi embassy", which in the current wag is being called a "consulate" or "mission".
One of the forum members found what may have been a toe dip propaganda piece dated 6-6 2012, where a story of a bombing against this "benghazi embassy" was floated to see if anyone would call the media on it's bullshit. There was no significant coverage of this topic on ANY American news outlet, which I believe is fishy. If you were going to do a test run for a fictitious embassy, it would be best to do it in a limited way. My guess is they floated this story ahead of time to see if it would hold up before using this fictitious embassy for a major propaganda run in the U.S. and I simply do not believe CNNNBCABCFOXASS would not have been ALL OVER such a bombing. No comments from the President? Yeah right! Let's see a photo of this "Benghazi embassy" dated prior to Sep11. Even these articles dated June 6 do not have that, nor have we found any pictures anywhere else.
And if this "Benghazi embassy" was around 4 months ago, how long before that did it exist? Why are they calling it an "embassy" in this article, and a consulate/mission in the current rip? How long would it take the state department, Wikipedia, and all other web sites, including ones that update daily, to show this "mission?" Is (a minimum) of four months enough? Oh, I know, it was run by OSAMA BIN LADEN, and therefore was not a favorite, and he is crazy, which is why it has been called a CONSULATE, an EMBASSY, and a "DIPLOMATIC MISSION" in the various reports, three representations so different that they are not the same thing at all! That works in fiction I guess!

VIRTUALLY ASSURED - War on Iran given a GO
A reminder to Israel - Giving the world ANOTHER Fukushima will be politically unpopular, and this time you WILL get caught, even among the totally unaware
The attacks on the U.S. embassies are virtually assured to be Mossad operations
Israel has a long history of staging false flag events. Don't be fooled, there are NOT riots all over the Arab world simply because of a stupid movie insulting Mohammed. The Muslims deal with that all the time and are not so thin skinned. It's a virtual certainty Israel is banking on Americans being stupid enough to fall for it, and to fall for it WOULD be stupid because: The first embassy attack came on 911, which is an Israeli terror holiday, and a day of dread for Muslims. It also is embedded in the American psyche, and there really are a lot of "chicken brains" out there who might fall for such a coincidence.
In addition to this, Canada suddenly shuttered it's Iranian embassy in a very childish and abrupt way, with no provocation to justify it. Look for a false flag in Canada once Israel is done having fun in the Arab world, to turn public opinion against Iran. As it is, many Americans are unable to discern the difference between Iran and Bahrain, or any other Islamic nation. I'd bet a $50 that over half of the war mongering crowd could not find Iran on a globe.
Then there was the idiotic Hezbollah bust at the Mexican border, COME ON NOW, THAT was stupid! The only thing Hezbollah would be able to get through the Mexican desert would be an old duffel bag on a retired Honda three wheeler. But we just GOTTA have that sleeper cell cover story for that new false flag terror attack likely to soon happen on American or Canadian soil.
Most importantly
Yesterday a report came out of Israel that they had MASSIVELY mobilized their military. And WAY TOO SOON for any "you insulted Mohammed" riots to cause it. All this stuff is coinciding around a singularity in time, a singularity which has Israel at it's center as a probable culprit. And the outlook is not so good. Here is the report out of Israel, which will be followed with my final comments.
"My brother and his family live in Jerusalem - he is a minister - his office is close to one of Israel 's largest underground military bases.
He called me last night which is very unusual - usually it is email.
He called to tell me that he is sending his family back to the US immediately due to what he is seeing happen within the last week and what he is being told by his military contacts in both the Israel and US military.
He said he is seeing with his own eyes military movements the likes of which he has never seen in his 20+ years in Israel .
What he called a massive redeployment and protective tactics of forces is underway.
Over the last two days he has seen anti-aircraft missile deployments throughout the Jerusalem area including 3 mobile units that he can see from his office windows.
In addition, he has seen very large Israeli armored columns moving fast toward the Sinia where Egypt has now moved in Armor.
There are reports of the top military leaders meeting with Israel 's Sr. Rabi which is something that has happened preceding every prior military campaign.
His admonition is to watch carefully and pray for Israel and its people.
He is convinced that barring something extraordinary Israel will attack Iran - with or without the US - and very soon.
It is the belief in Israel that Obama does not stand with Israel but with the Arab countries.
He has told me before that Israel will saber rattle from time to time but that this time is very different from what he is seeing and hearing.
He was at the Wailing Wall 2 days ago and there were hundreds of IDF soldiers there. As he was leaving he passed at least 20 military buses full of soldiers in route to the wall.
He has never seen this before either."
My comments
Israel is a nation that won't stick it's neck out when it could get it's head cut off. Iran could easily do that. So expect Israel to use their nuclear weapons as an opening volley, and to do it in a despicable way that levels Iran. Don't be surprised by a death toll over 10 million if Israel goes ahead with this. Israel will NOT target only Iran's nuclear facilities, Israel will attempt to smash Iran in it's entirety, and absolutely will if they believe that a sneak nuclear attack would prevent a single Jewish death. Iran has tens of thousands of missiles capable of reaching Israel, and prior to all of Israel and America's game playing in Syria, there were additional tens of thousands more there. With Syria neutralized, Israel is now free to go in and destroy Iran, and America has already previously stated and agreed that if Iran does even ONE thing to Israel to defend itself, America will step in and smash Iran on Israel's behalf.
In conjunction with this attack, expect Israel to cut the sub sea internet cable that connects Iran to the outside world, so the atrocities will be slow to be revealed, that is IF they are EVER revealed.
The following is not intended to be understood by most readers
There is a way to know if nukes were used, cut cable or not. I suggest now is a good time for anyone who has a storage scope to set it up to capture the EMP signature of any nuclear weapons in use. The EMP signature has nothing to do with the seismic signature. To capture an EMP signature, just go to the hardware store and buy a spool of Romex electrical wire, leave it in a coil, and hook ONE end of One of the conductors in it up to the scope input, and the other end of the SAME conductor to ground. Set the scope up for event capture, and if you have a multi channel scope, set one channel to capture an event that is at 10 mhz, and will be 8 cycles in length, another channel for the same at 1 mhz, and another channel at 100 khz, if available. Romex has 3 conductors. EMP's vary. So that will cover all possible ranges the emp from a nuke could show up at.
Of course, you will need to put a coil with at least a few millihenries of inductance on the ground side, and perhaps a 1 nanofarad capacitor at the scope input, and that type of setup will want to pick up all types of environmental noise but if you play with it to reduce the noise or build any sort of circuit to tune out the noise it ought to work. If you are the type that would have that sort of test equipment you should be able to come up with something that will work with whatever situation you have. Obviously, if you want to capture the higher frequency, a smaller coil would be used. I am suggesting a coil to mitigate the need for an enormous antenna.
Unfortunately I can't tell you how strong a signal is going to be, so guess. If you scope has headroom, use it. You stand NO chance of blowing up a scope using it this way because scopes are robust and Iran for most people is on the other side of the world and the signal is likely to be very weak. It will appear as a sinewave that starts with a peak, tapers to a lower peak on the next cycle, a lower peak on the next cycle, down to extinction right around cycle 8. Look at the wave on the front of a Dorito's bag. That is the stylized EMP from the Sumatra nuke. I never got down to the details on that one with this site, but that wave shape on the front of a doritos bag is in fact a nuclear EMP waveform that has been italicized, and it is the one that India published for the boxing day tsunami.
On your scope, THIS is what you are looking for:
Of course, this has been stylized, this wave form will be oriented straight up and down on your scope and not leaning, and not italicized. I guess the joke is "atomic crunch". This became the Dorito's logo approximately five months after the boxing day tsunami. This came in at around 10 MHZ because the nuke was detonated under water. Most likely this joke was pulled at a lower level and the upper management is unaware. The "elite" get a laugh out of putting their crimes in plain sight.
Hopefully if people set up their scopes to capture this, Israel will not dare because if enough people capture this it will not stay hidden, and secrecy for these people is 95 percent of victory. There are a gazillion storage scopes out there, unlike seismographs which are easy to control and censor on account of scarcity. Absent Romex, even a coil of speaker wire will probably do, any coil of wire with an inductance low enough to not block a 10 mhz signal or one of the lower frequencies (I would suggest setting it up for 1 mhz if your scope only has 1 channel) and it will be hit and miss results because there is no way to know the specifics of a nuclear EMP, and if you don't know which bomb and how it will be detonated (air burst, surface burst, sub surface burst) it will take a bit of luck to capture it. Air bursts are asymmetrical if close to the ground, and sub surface bursts tend to be symmetrical and at a higher frequency because the EMP will be shaped by it's environment and a confined environment will push the frequency up. I could go into the why aspect but I don't want to write a book right now and if what I have written here is not clear to you, ignore it, this is meant to be understood by a fraction of one percent of the people out there, which will hopefully be enough to deter Israel from doing it.
Il gruppo britannico Lonmin, proprietaria della miniera di Marikana (28 mila addetti), sta cercando con scarso successo di evitare che la protesta dei lavoratori si estenda, ed ha rivolto un'offerta agli operai in sciopero da ormai cinque settimane. Lo sciopero é iniziato lo scorso 10 agosto, su iniziativa di tremila operai in rottura con il sindacato maggioritario Num, che reclamano consistenti aumenti salariali e il miglioramento sostanziale delle loro condizioni di vita e di lavoro.
La protesta dei minatori si è estesa da quelli di Marikana ad altre miniere di platino e poi anche d’oro. E ora alcuni sindacati hanno convocato a partire da domenica uno sciopero generale su base nazionale di tutto il settore, con l'obiettivo di ''mettere in ginocchio'' le grandi multinazionali straniere che sfruttano a loro piacimento le risorse naturali del paese. L'appello alla mobilitazione generale é stato lanciato da uno dei leader sindacali, Mametlwe Sebei, dinanzi a migliaia di lavoratori radunatisi davanti all'impianto di Rustenburg (nel nord del Sudafrica), una delle miniere sfruttate dal colosso statunitense del platino Amplats. Circa 1500 lavoratori dell’impianto hanno bloccato con barricate formate da tronchi d'albero, pneumatici e pietre molte delle strade di accesso. La Polizia e i responsabili della miniera hanno parlato di ‘sollevazione’ in atto da parte dei dipendenti.
Il malcontento economico dei minatori cresce e si radicalizza, e minaccia ora di intrecciarsi con quello di alcuni settori dell'esercito, incitati ad aderire alla ''rivoluzione' dal giovane leader politico Julius Malema, espulso nei mesi scorsi dall'Africa National Congress (Anc) del presidente Jacob Zuma perché ne aveva criticato l’immobilismo, la mancanza di azione riformatrice e la copertura politica degli interessi della nuova casta che guida il paese dopo la fine dell’apartheid.
Raccogliendo l'appello di alcuni soldati scontenti per il loro trattamento economico, Malema ha dichiarato l'intenzione di tenere due comizi in altrettante basi dell'esercito presso Lenasia, a sud-ovest di Johannesburg. Intenzione che ha naturalmente suscitato la reazione immediata del governo. ''Non so a quale titolo il signor Malema pensi di poter rivolgersi ai soldati'', ha detto il ministro della Difesa, Mapisa Nqakula, ventilando iniziative disciplinari nei confronti di chi accettasse di farsi coinvolgere. ''Il Paese non può permettersi che l'instabilità si estenda alle forze armate'', ha avvertito Nqakula, accusando Malema di voler ''rendere ingovernabile il settore minerario'' e ''sabotare l'economia nazionale''.
Da parte sua il presidente Jacob Zuma ha minacciato i sindacati avvertendo che scioperi illegali ed intimidazioni ''non aiuteranno i minatori'' e che saranno contrastati dalle forze di polizia. Intanto un sindacalista del Num, la più grande confederazione del paese legata all’Anc e accusata di connivenze con le multinazionali da parte dei sindacati indipendenti, è stato ritrovato privo di vita a poca distanza dalla miniera di Marikana. Dumisani Mthinti, 51 anni, diventa così la 45esima vittima dello scontro in atto in Sudafrica da poco più di un mese.
Il settore minerario sudafricano impiega mezzo milione di lavoratori, 180 mila in quelle di platino e 160 mila in quelle d’oro, produce il 9% del Pil del paese, (il 19% considerando le altre attività ad esso connesse) e rappresenta la metà delle esportazioni del Paese. Secondo la Camere delle miniere, il giro d'affari nel 2010 è stato pari a 28 miliardi di euro.
Not because of military or defensive objectives, but to terrorize Syria's population, undermine the government politically, and paralyze civilian infrastructure. This unconscionable act of blatant terrorism will have no impact on Syria's security operations and is yet another demonstration of the absolute illegitimacy of both the so-called "Free Syrian Army" and their Western sponsors.
September 1, 2012 - Syria has over 15 military airbases, including dedicated airbases located near Aleppo and Damascus. These airbases are generally surrounded by networks of military infrastructure including storage depots, barracks, motor pools, and defensive positions. So much as even denting these facilities would require a standing enemy army, airpower, and armor - something the terrorists operating in Syria with NATO backing currently lack. Even a successful, concentrated attack on a single airbase would make little difference tilting the balance of power in favor of NATO-backed foreign terrorists operating under the banner of the so-called "Free Syrian Army" (FSA).
Image: (via GlobalSecurity.org) Syria has over 15 dedicated military airbases located across the country, including bases within effective range of Damascus and Aleppo. Many more airbases either are, or can easily be converted into dual military/civilian use. Additionally, helicopter airfields can be set up ad-hoc nearly anywhere. The latest threat then, by terrorists operating in Syria against the nation's two main international airports is a craven act of terrorism seeking psychological, not military, and certainly not defensive objectives. The West's continued support of the so-called FSA, and the UN's continued silence has entirely eviscerated both their collective legitimacy and the primacy of "international law."
--- --- ---
Puzzling then was an announcement made by NATO terrorists, warning that in 72 hours, starting September 1, 2012, they would begin operations to target Syria's two international airports, Damascus International, and Aleppo International. The Telegraph would report that NATO's terrorist front, "warned it would target civilian planes using the airports in Damascus and Aleppo from tomorrow." The Telegraph would also claim, "it [the FSA] suspected government was using the flights to bring in weapons." Like all of NATO terrorist claims, no evidence has been provided by either the militants, or the Western press.
Image: Aleppo International Airport (Wikipedia).
The Telegraph has just reported that terrorists are planning to shoot at civilian planes and paralyze civilian flights across the country - a terrorist act by any definition or law.
Declaration of Terrorist Intend in Absolute Violation of International Law.
RT has also reported in their article, "Syrian rebels give airlines '72-hour warning' before they plan to seize civilian airports," that terrorists, "gave a 72-hour advance warning to airlines to suspend flights to Syria before the rebels try to seize civilian airports in Damascus and Aleppo. They claim the Syrian Air Force is using them 'illegally.'" RT also noted that, "international law prohibits attacks on civilian airports, whether during internal conflicts or wars between states."
Indeed, even corporate-financier funded faux-NGOs like Human Rights Watch (HRW) note that attacking civilian infrastructure, such as an airport can only be done if achieving a military objective outweighs the impact on civilians. HRW says specifically: Civil airports, roads and bridges are civilian objects that become military objectives subject to attack if they are actually used for military purposes or military objectives are located on or within them. Even then, the rule of proportionality applies, requiring the parties to the conflict to weigh the short- and long-term harm on civilians against the military advantage served; they must consider all ways of minimizing the impact on civilians; and they should not undertake attacks if the expected civilian harm outweighs the definite military advantage. Clearly, if the Syrian Air Force has 15 bases in addition to whatever they may or may not be using its two international airports for, terrorist attacks on its two main civilian airports in no way achieve military objectives proportional to the adverse impact such attacks will have on Syria's civilian population.
A Blatant Terroristic Threat.
Instead, the two airports have been picked to maximize terror against both the Syrian people and government forces, as well as undermine Syria politically on the international stage. In other words, they are craven acts of terrorism designed to achieve a political, not military objective - to attack, not defend Syria's civilian population. And it will be craven terrorist attacks carried out with funding, arms, and logistical support provided by the US, UK, Israel, NATO-member Turkey, and the Gulf State despots of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The attacks will have absolutely no impact on Syrian security operations, and will instead simply paralyze civilian infrastructure and inevitably cost civilian lives. It will serve to panic the Syrian people, thus creating yet more refugees with which NATO will then claim demands foreign military intervention in the form of long sought-after "safe havens." Essentially, NATO is purposefully encouraging an atmosphere of terror and panic, then using the resulting refugees and humanitarian crisis as political bargaining chips.
The silence of the UN in the face of this bold declaration of terroristic intent, as well as its utter indifference toward US, NATO, GCC, and Israeli sponsorship of terrorism and purposeful creation of humanitarian catastrophe, further undermines both the organization itself and the primacy of "international law" it is charged with maintaining.
Echipa Observatorului a realizat un reportaj filmat cu camera ascunsa despre cum se fac banii în interiorul Bisericii si unde ajung ei.
O scena reala, dintr-o Românie cât se poate de reala: credinta se masoara în contributiile date la Biserica. Asa au decis unii preoti sa propovaduiasca vorbele Domnului. În România, serviciile religioase nu sunt gratuite. Cine nu plateste, nu beneficiaza de ele.
Asa ca oamenii s-au conformat. Doneaza pentru zidirea lacasurilor de cult, platesc daca vor ca preotul sa le citeasca acatistele, se împrumuta de la banci ca sa-si îngoape mortii.
Lumânarile facute în manastire, sunt de doua ori mai scumpe decât cele din comert. În depozite, 150 de lumânari se vând cu cel mult 10 lei. În Biserica, o singura lumânare, costa chiar si 50 de bani, asta înseamna 75 de lei, pentru acelasi lumânari.

De-a lungul anilor, Biserica a pus ban pe ban si strâns o avere impresionanta. Detine terenuri, paduri, sute de imobile. Nu plateste impozite la stat, însa primeste bani de la buget.
În medie, în fiecare an, Guvernul aloca peste 1 miliard de lei catre culte. La aceasta suma se adauga veniturile proprii, realizate din vânzarea obiectelor de cult sau a terenurilor.
Anul trecut, veniturile administratiei Patriarhale au fost de 87 de milioane de lei, cu aproape 60 de milioane de lei mai mari decât în 2010. Toti acesti bani ar trebui sa se întoarca la oamenii saraci. Nu se întâmpla asa.
Asta în vreme ce multi preoti sunt, de fapt, oameni de afaceri. Parintele Dumitru Bondarici, din Margineni, Bacau, e agent imobiliar. Vinde chiar terenurile care au fost retrocedate Bisericii. Sub pretextul ca vrem sa ne construim o casa în comuna, am mers la preot. Ne-a cerut 160.000 de euro pentru 2600 de metri patrati.
Preotul vinde metrul patrat de teren cu aproape 50 de euro. Mult mai scump decât ce ofera în zona agentiile imobiliare.
Fata bisericeasca ne-a explicat ca pamântul l-a recuperat în urma unor procese îndelungate. În total, peste 20 de hectare a primit parohia. A reusit sa vânda aproape tot. A evacuat oameni, a darâmat case.
Averea Bisericii trebuie pastrata cu sfintenie. Pamântul poate fi vândut, în cazul în care consiliul parohial considera ca e prea departe de parohie. Banii obtinuti trebuie folositi fie pentru a cumpara teren în alta parte, fie pentru acte fiantropice.
A small bacteria feeding on it has been discovered. This may be a boon or a bane for the aquatic environment. The bacteria was discovered through electron microscopy on plastic items sampled at the Sargasso Sea, an area in the North Atlantic, where debris tends to stack up due to local currents.
The primitive organisms live in pits in the plastic and appear to feed on it as well, says marine microbiologist Tracy Mincer of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.
"They look like you took a hot barbecue briquette and threw it into snow," Nature News cites Mincer as saying. "You see this melting bit all around the outside of the cells, and they're just burrowing into the plastic."

The specialized bug is not encountered in other environment, like surrounding seawater or seaweed.
Scientists are not yet sure whether these organisms will eventually do more good than harm in dealing with pollution. If their digestion products are environmentally-friendly, then it would mean that nature has found a new way to limit the damage humanity does.
But plastic contains numerous toxins, and the bacteria may be introducing those into the food chain by feeding on it and then becoming food for larger organism.
Police pushed the protesters back, and the crowd later marched to nearby Hyde Park.
One protester was reportedly hospitalized with a head injury, and is in stable condition.
Seven ambulances arrived at the demonstration as tensions increased.
Sydney's security forces were prepared for the rally, authorities said, which continued throughout the evening.
Police arrested several demonstrators, local media reported. "We are sick and tired of everyone mocking our beloved prophet," protester Houda Dib told the Australian. "They were aggravating the situation by pushing our brothers. This is supposed to be a peaceful protest."
"They call us the terrorists," demonstrator Sarah Jacob said in a separate interview. "But everyone is terrorizing our people."
Nemysys: We live in a world of MORONS. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, blah blah blah. Until religion is gone from the earth, we will continue to suffer irrationality that leads to chaos, sorrow and death. Grow up people. Please.
Islamo-Thuggery: This has nothing to do with Almighty God. It is about Idolatry for a FALSE prophet!
Those inciting the beheading of people are criminals, plain and simple.
Big-one5: There is no God. Who seen it? When? Where? There is a supreme being that creates life, but not a god of religion nature. There are other organisms thru space that spark life.Also, there were and are other religions that are thousands of years older than God of Christianity or Allah. Are those wrong? Just because some camel herders said otherwise? There are museums of old religions. Greek gods. Roman gods and the list is enormous. They lost faith in those gods and then invented this ones or adopted it. Someday all this religions will be museum pieces. When the world wake up.
Science: Religion is a throwback in human thought and a symptom of a complete lack in comprehending the real workings of the universe. Education would be the answer, but religious zealots, infected with the meme, are afraid of education, for it will destroy their little soother they’re sucking on, their religion!
Religions belong to the dustbin of failed human thought experiments and insidious doctrines to control the masses.
The obtuse hysteria presently gripping the middles east is ample proof of that.
A century of atrocities, illegal wars, invasions, regime change, war crimes, genocide, exploitation, assassinations and much more, by the one and only terrorist nation on the planet, the US, has finally come home to roost. Getting some of their own back in the smallest of measure has them screaming to high heaven, and no doubt will be used as a pretext for further atrocities by the crims in DC.
If the good people of the US would just jettison this criminal gang of terrorists masquerading as politicians; but that would require some courage and action, even revolution, and that’s not forthcoming with the MSM, owned by the crims, having a firm grip on all the little minds.
Wombat: To hell with all these peace loving Muslims! Go back where you came from and kiss your leaders arses. The corrupt Australian leadership is to blame for the present situation in the country. All the good-doers must be paid very good money to sell the country and the hard working Australians to the these dogs (if they are worthy of a dog). I recommend a daily decimation of Canberra politicians, until common sense takes hold again.
ISLAM is SLAVERY: Anyone who pursuits happiness and peace will be murdere or will die because they are not ISLAMIC. Thats the immature thought process of ISLAMIC stone age thinkers, they kill everyone who is not ISLAM and they say they are for peace. Christians left your countries because of your SLAVERY LAWS and yet you bring that same SLAVERY to other free countries and bully everyone else who is not ISLAM over?
Why don't you go attack the Chinese and see what they will do to you ISLAMIC slaves. Go free yourselves and let China and US join forces against you then. Spread your hate, you will be stopped.
Jimmy: If American Governments are so repectful of "Freedom of Speech", then WHY are Americans being arrested and sent to Psychiatric wards at hospitals for expressing viewpoints against the Government,Obama, in particular, in their FACEBOOK accounts???This is happening more frequently, particularly with ex-military individuals...I guess it is their REWARD for serving America!!!
Truth: The USA wants this anarchy for its own political campaigns. They don't care about the loss of lives even if a thousand US troops died tomorrow it is for resources to make their country rich. Israel is a tool for the USA and stole ideas from the Nazis in which they use on the Muslims, who once protected them.
Mike: I'll never understand the way religious minds think. The Pentagon pulls off a false flag terrorism attack on 9/11, blames all Muslims for a crime they never committed, uses it as justification to bomb their countries, yet they hardly stir. However should you insult their imaginary sky fairy then they riot. The Christian minds are equally bizarre.
Seven billion humans need farms that cover a land mass equal to South America, but tomorrow's farmers may need even more space to grow food for hungry mouths. Such urgency has given root to a new agricultural idea in the past few years — building vertical farms that climb toward the sky or burrow beneath the Earth.
Vertical farming got a big boost from a class taught by Dickson Despommier, a microbiologist and ecologist at Columbia University, in 1999. The students' ideas spread virally across the Internet and led to the rise of the first modern vertical farms in the U.S., South Korea, Japan and Singapore. Sweden has plans for a vertical farm skyscraper reaching 17 stories in height.
"There are now real vertical farms," Despommier said. "You have no idea how proud I am of 106 students that worked over the period of 10 years to make this happen."
Vertical farms offer the vision of growing whatever people want, wherever they want. The indoor facilities can grow crops all year long without droughts or similar weather-related events wreaking havoc. Some designs can even make more efficient use of water compared to outdoor farming — and they could save outside space for wilderness or similar natural habitats. (Real Farmville: iPad Game Would Let Pigs Play with Humans)
Still, many people thought vertical farms were crazy even up to three years ago, Despommier said. His satisfaction was evident as he showed pictures of existing vertical farms during a talk at the World Science Festival's "Innovation Square" event on June 2.
The most futuristic farms exist in Asian countries such as South Korea, Japan and Singapore where crowded cities and scarce land make vertical farming most appealing. "I wish we were the world's leader in this, but right now it looks like Korea and Japan are light years ahead of us," Despommier said.
South Korea took inspiration from Despommier to build a three-story vertical farm with robotics and LED lights in the city of Suwon. Another seven-story vertical farm that grows plants shelf-like layers has sprouted in Yongin under the company Insung Tech.
The Japanese company Nuvege has built a vertical farm in Kyoto based upon familiar hydroponic farming methods that don't require soil. The Japanese government has also begun planning a vertical farm near the site of the Fukushima nuclear disaster as part of a bigger plan to robotically clean up farmland ravaged by a huge earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
Europe has become home for some wilder visions of vertical farming — Sweden's Plantagon began building the 17-story vertical farm in Linkoping in February. Meanwhile, the PlantLab company wants to experiment with crop lighting conditions in a three-story underground farm in the Netherlands.
Even the U.S. has begun sprouting a few vertical farms. A former Chicago meatpacking plant has begun transforming into a vertical farm known simply as "The Plant," and the "Vertical Harvest" project is raising funds for a three-story greenhouse in Jackson, Wyoming.
The vertical farm dream is still growing both literally and figuratively. Despommier envisions modular vertical farms that can be shipped to the sites of natural disasters or civil unrest.
"So when you're in a pinch … you can ship these things, lock them together like Legos, and you've got your vertical farm sitting right in front of you with produce in it for people who need it," Despommier said. "That's my dream."
