			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>A disturbing report issued by the <a href="http://www.mil.ru/">Russian General Staff</a> to President Medvedev warns today that the North American Security Zone agreement signed <a href="http://www.ottawacitizen.com/business/blackmailed+Canada/5827741/story.html">this past week</a> between US President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a defacto merging of these two nations and allows the Americans to begin building one of the largest gulag systems [forced labor camps] in modern human history.</p>
<p>According to this report, this new agreement between the US and Canada brings closer to fruition the <a href="http://nauresistance.org/nau-timeline/">North American Union</a> between these two nations and Mexico <a href="http://nauresistance.org/nau-timeline/">first proposed</a> by President Ronald Reagan on 13 November 1979.</p>
<p>Most ominous about this new agreement, Russian military experts in this report say, is that aside from <a href="http://www.ottawacitizen.com/business/blackmailed+Canada/5827741/story.html">Canada having to provide the United States with personal information on millions of Canadian citizens</a>, the Americans now have complete control to begin building their long sought after system of labor camps in the Canadian Arctic designed to hold up to one-million of their citizens their President has deemed to be <em>“traitors.”</em></p>
<p>Virtually unknown to the masses of American people is their Presidents ability to label anyone he so chooses as a <em>“terrorist”</em> or <em>“traitor”</em> enabling him to turn these citizens over to the control of US Military forces who are able to hold them without charges or trial forever.</p>
<p>Even worse, and as we had <strong><a href="http://www.thetotalcollapse.com/obama-regime-warns-all-americans-if-you-fight-us-you-will-die/" target="_blank">previously reported on</a></strong>, new laws being passed in the United States now designate their Homeland as a <em><a href="http://original.antiwar.com/jwhitehead/2011/12/08/america-the-battlefield-the-end-of-the-rule-of-law/">“battlefield”</a></em> and ordinary citizens who oppose the Obama regime as being <em><a href="http://original.antiwar.com/jwhitehead/2011/12/08/america-the-battlefield-the-end-of-the-rule-of-law/">“enemies of the state”. </a></em></p>
<p>Not content to have the astounding dictatorial powers he already possesses, <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/12/09/obama-pushes-to-change-provision-on-military-custody-for-terror-suspects/">new reports</a> from the United States are now stating that President Obama is threatening to veto even tougher laws that fail to give him complete control to turn over anyone he so chooses to be jailed by US Military forces.</p>
<p>Russian military legal analysts in this report further detail that Obama’s need to establish these <em>“Arctic Death Camps”</em> in Canada is to keep imprisoned American <em>“traitors”</em> from being able to access the US legal system <a href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail/189939.html">as they are being tortured,</a> such as the system of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_site">secret CIA and US Military prisons</a> established all over the world over the past decade during their so called <em>“<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Terror">War on Terror</a>.”</em></p>
<p>To the type of life these Americans can expect in these <em>“Arctic Death Camps”</em> was recently described by German investigative journalists who uncovered one of these secret US prisons in Romania who, in part, said:</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.theweek.co.uk/world-news/43424/uncovered-torture-chamber-proves-cia-went-nuts">“According to US officials, interviewed anonymously, during their first month in detention the detainees were deprived of sleep, doused with water, forced to stand in painful positions and &#8216;slapped&#8217;. There is a convenient and descriptive shorthand for this kind of treatment which readers in &#8216;civilised&#8217; countries might find useful – torture. </a></em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.theweek.co.uk/world-news/43424/uncovered-torture-chamber-proves-cia-went-nuts">One weird detail about the prison chills the blood more than anything else. The six cells were mounted on springs so they were always swaying a little.  Apparently, it&#8217;s a good way of keeping people disorientated for long periods of time. God knows where the CIA recruits the sort of people who can dream up this kind of stuff – from the ranks of a heavily armed backwoods militia maybe or perhaps even the Ku Klux Klan.”</a></em><em></em></p>
<p>Chilling reports coming from the United States state that the US Army has begun training their troops to staff these <em>“Arctic Death Camps”</em> under a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-us-army-now-offers-a-prison-guard-specialty-securing-civilian-detainees-2011-12">designed to teach them how to handle civilian detainees</a> and have begun asking their National Guard troops if they would be <a href="http://www.infowars.com/oath-keepers-receive-tip-of-national-guard-unit-stand-down-refusing-to-answer-questionnaire-asking-if-they-would-use-lethal-force-against-the-american-people/">willing to fire on and kill American citizens</a>.</p>
<p>To the types of Americans labeled as <em>“terrorists”</em> by the Obama regime US Senator Rand Paul this past week warned included anyone having missing fingers, anyone having guns, anyone having weatherproofed ammunition, and anyone having seven days or more of food in their homes. [See video <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD1T61oTrR8&amp;feature=player_embedded">HERE</a></strong>.]</p>
<p>So concerned is the Obama regime about any American citizen having more than seven days of food, new reports from the United States are now saying their Federal government agents are <a href="http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/94681-federal-agents-demand-customer-lists/">now ordering food companies</a> to supply them with lists of anyone who is buying food in preparation for hard times or disasters.</p>
<p>To any American thinking they aren’t a terrorist they should think again as <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/police-trained-nationwide-that-informed-americans-are-domestic-terrorists.html">InfoWars.Com previously reported</a> that secret US government documents they obtained further said these people were enemies of the state if they supported US Congressman Ron Paul, owned gold, or flew the American flag.</p>
<p>To how soon the Obama regime will begin its mass roundup of its own citizens was chillingly revealed this week when <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/exclusive-government-activating-fema-camps-across-u-s.html">new documents were released</a> showing their push to open what are called FEMA detention camps in all 50 States as soon as possible.</p>
<p>The reason behind the Obama regime preparing to unleash its brutal might upon its own citizens was, likewise, was warned about this past week by noted trends analyst Gerald Celente, who during an interview with Russian Today [see video below] stated that the US was preparing to establish <em><a href="http://lewrockwell.com/celente/celente87.1.html">“Economic Martial Law”</a> </em>shortly after the turn of the New Year.</p>
<p><object width="500" height="339" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oi_eXkQNrc8?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="500" height="339" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oi_eXkQNrc8?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>Sadly for the American people, whose march to communistic serfdom is accelerating with each passing day, was their ignoring the words of Prime Minister Putin who warned of the dangers of any country following the path of communalism by his stating:  <em><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123317069332125243.html">“The concentration of surplus assets in the hands of the state is a negative aspect of anti-crisis measures in virtually every nation. In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state&#8217;s role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”</a></em></p>
<p>And in what can only be described as the most despotic irony of all, while the Western media has devoted nearly all of its attention on Russian protests which saw <a href="http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/russian-police-arrest-hundreds-in-protests-20111207-1ohmj.html">nearly 300 arrests</a>, they still refuse to report on the Occupy Protests that have rocked their countries resulting in the <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgr3DiqWYCI">brutalizing of peaceful protesters</a></strong> and seen <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_movement">over 5,000 of them jailed</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>KINGSTON, NY, 4 May 2011— From the fans at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia to the mobs at the White House gates, “USA, USA,” was the chant heard across the nation. Jubilant Americans celebrated the breaking news that Public Enemy No.1, terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden was dead.</p>
<p>Ten years have passed since the Twin Towers toppled and the Pentagon was whacked. After two failing wars and billions of dollars spent on the global manhunt to bring in Bin Laden “Dead or Alive,” America has now claimed victory. “This is bigger than the moon landing, this is huge,” exclaimed Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera.</p>
<p>“Justice has been done,” intoned President Barack Obama announcing Bin Laden’s death. He not only called it “a good day for America,” but also declared that “The world is safer. It is a better place because of the death of Osama Bin Laden.”</p>
<p>While Secretary of State Hillary Clinton echoed the sentiment that “justice has been served,” she evidently took issue with the Presidential vision of a “safer” world, warning that terror “won’t stop with the death of Bin Laden, we must redouble our efforts.”</p>
<p>If it’s a “safer” world, why the need to “redouble our efforts”? These were but two of the contradictions coming from the White House in the early hours of the breaking story, and many discrepancies would follow. Some of them would be noted and debated, but totally absent from the 24/7 news coverage, political “high-fives” and patriotic triumphalism was the simple question: Why did Osama Bin Laden, former mujahedin ally of the United States, turn against it to become Public Enemy No.1?</p>
<p>Was it that he and his Al Qaeda fighters suddenly decided to hate America’s “freedom and liberties” as George W. Bush maintained? Or was it remotely possible that the attacks were motivated by US foreign policy – with its unconditional support of Israel and concomitant support of the same Middle East monarchs, autocrats and dictators now being toppled in the wave of revolution?</p>
<p>Also absent from America’s non-stop exultation and self-congratulation, absent from the acres of newsprint and the countless hours of air time, was any discussion of the practical consequences of the death of Bin Laden who, before making it back into the headlines, had been both a fading memory and a non-issue.<br />
Osama Bin Who?</p>
<p>So irrelevant had Bin Laden and his jihad rhetoric become that, in the months preceding his assassination, every one of the uprisings occurring throughout the Middle East and North Africa was secular and in direct opposition to Bin Laden’s militant pan-Islamic vision.</p>
<p>In a sentence: There were no practical consequences whatsoever attending the death of Osama Bin Laden. It would do nothing to:</p>
<p>Help America win losing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.<br />
Lower the unemployment rate.<br />
Stop the US or European nations from sinking deeper into recessions and depression.<br />
Revive failing real estate markets or solve the debt and deficit crises.<br />
Lower oil and food prices.<br />
Reverse the damage or stop the radioactive fallout from Fukushima.</p>
<p>What Osama’s death did do was boost the President’s sagging poll numbers and deflect public attention from the news that really mattered.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, April 27th, just four days before Bin Laden was killed, a new Public Enemy No.1 held his organization’s first ever press conference. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told the world that the United States would continue its low interest rate polices and, in effect, continue to flood the world with cheap money.</p>
<p>The global equity markets immediately responded to the predictably destructive consequences. Before Bernanke ended the press conference, gold prices shot up $20 an ounce, silver $2, and the dollar fell to a 3 year low against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Despite the Chairman’s claims to the contrary, the US dollar would continue to devalue and subsequently dollar based commodity prices would soar.</p>
<p>Needing neither a mountain lair nor sequestration behind closed Fed doors, the new Public Enemy No.1, “Osama” Ben Bernanke committed, in broad daylight, an act of financial terrorism that would have far reaching and long lasting implications for the American public. As the value of the dollar went down, the cost of nearly everything would go up…excepting the cost of “risk.”</p>
<p>This meant that financiers could continue to speculate and exploit the equity markets, with the profits going only to the 10 percent of Americans that owned 90 percent of the stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Moreover, the Fed reasoned the cheap dollar would also give a competitive edge to big US exporters. But as exports rose, so did the price of imports, putting further strains on average consumers whose real wages fell ever further behind the pace of inflation.</p>
<p>Bombs Away</p>
<p>What Osama Bin Laden’s death also did was to deflect attention from the US/NATO “humanitarian” mission in Libya, which, just two days earlier, had delivered several humanitarian bombs upon the home of Muammar Qaddafi’s son, killing him and three of his children.</p>
<p>The bungled attempt to assassinate Qaddafi (who had been visiting his son) was condemned by Russia, brought recriminations against NATO from other UN members for overstepping the UN mandate, and called into question the legality of the air strike. With a groundswell of public sympathy building around the world for Qaddafi’s murdered grandchildren, the very purpose and future of the entire mission was being called into question.</p>
<p>Trend Forecast: With the death of Osama Bin Laden, the restored, rebuilt, new and improved terror bandwagon rolls again…and it will keep rolling until Election Day 2012. Whether a real terror attack happens or not, Barack Obama, as he has done before, will take a page from the G.W. Bush playbook and keep the American public in a state of fear and hysteria.</p>
<p>And should terror strike the US, UK, France or other NATO ally, their governments, media “presstitutes,” pundits, and the public at large will debate and deplore the “cowardly act” and demand “swift justice.” They will blame Bin Laden sympathizers, Al Qaeda cells, Muammar Qaddafi, radical Islamists…but never will they blame themselves. They will refuse to acknowledge that what they called “terror” was nothing more than “revenge”; reprisal for foreign meddling in the domestic affairs of other nations, or retaliation for military invasions launched by the US, UK, France or other NATO ally upon a sovereign nation.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, back in DC, the Chairman of the Fed, Public Enemy No.1, “Osama” Ben Bernanke, will mastermind the destruction of the American dollar, the US economy and the purchasing power of the American people.</p>
<p>As we have been forecasting for years, gold, despite its recent pull back, is on-trend to reach $2000 per ounce (and possibly higher). And while Ben Bernanke claims that inflation is merely “transitory,” considering his penchant for printing trillions of digital dollars not worth the paper it’s not printed on, we see inflation as both entrenched and rising.</p>

Alliance chief, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said the U.S. will hand over operational responsibility to NATO within days. Meanwhile, fresh air strikes have rocked the Libyan capital Tripoli, with reports of more civilian casualties. Gerald Celente from the Trends Research Institute says NATO is just a cover for the U.S. and the Libyan mission is about gaining control of the country&#8217;s oil.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>By Gerald Celente<br />
12-17-10</p>
<p><strong>Wake-Up Call: Top 11 Trends of 2011</strong></p>
<p>After the tumultuous years of the Great Recession, a battered people may wish that 2011 will bring a return to kinder, gentler times.<br />
But that is not what we are predicting. Instead, the fruits of government and institutional action ­ and inaction ­ on many fronts will ripen in unplanned-for fashions. Trends we have previously identified, and that have been brewing for some time, will reach maturity in 2011, impacting just about everyone in the world.</p>
<p>1. Wake-Up Call In 2011, the people of all nations will fully recognize how grave economic conditions have become, how ineffectual and self-serving the so-called solutions have been, and how dire the consequences will be.</p>
<p>Having become convinced of the inability of leaders and know-it-all &#8220;arbiters of everything&#8221; to fulfill their promises, the people will do more than just question authority, they will defy authority. The seeds of revolution will be sown.</p>
<p>2. Crack-Up 2011 Among our Top Trends for last year was the &#8220;Crash of 2010.&#8221; What happened? The stock market didn&#8217;t crash. We know.</p>
<p>We made it clear in our Autumn Trends Journal that we were not forecasting a stock market crash ­ the equity markets were no longer a legitimate indicator of recovery or the real state of the economy. Yet the reliable indicators (employment numbers, the real estate market, currency pressures, sovereign debt problems) all bordered between crisis and disaster.</p>
<p>In 2011, with the arsenal of schemes to prop them up depleted, we predict &#8220;Crack-Up 2011&#8243;: teetering economies will collapse, currency wars will ensue, trade barriers will be erected, economic unions will splinter, and the onset of the &#8220;Greatest Depression&#8221; will be recognized by everyone.</p>
<p>3. Screw the People As times get even tougher and people get even poorer, the &#8220;authorities&#8221; will intensify their efforts to extract the funds needed to meet fiscal obligations. While there will be variations on the theme, the governments&#8217; song will be the same: cut what you give, raise what you take.</p>
<p>4. Crime Waves No job + no money + compounding debt = high stress, strained relations, short fuses. In 2011, with the fuse lit, it will be prime time for Crime Time. As Gerald Celente says, &#8220;When people lose everything and they have nothing left to lose, they lose it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hardship-driven crimes will be committed across the socioeconomic spectrum by legions of the on-the-edge desperate who will do whatever they must to keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table.</p>
<p>5. Crackdown on Liberty As crime rates rise, so will the voices demanding a crackdown. A national crusade to &#8220;Get Tough on Crime&#8221; will be waged against the citizenry. And just as in the &#8220;War on Terror,&#8221; where &#8220;suspected terrorists&#8221; are killed before proven guilty or jailed without trial, in the &#8220;War on Crime&#8221; everyone is a suspect until proven innocent.</p>
<p>6. Alternative Energy In laboratories and workshops unnoticed by mainstream analysts, scientific visionaries and entrepreneurs are forging a new physics incorporating principles once thought impossible, working to create devices that liberate more energy than they consume.</p>
<p>What are they, and how long will it be before they can be brought to market? Shrewd investors will ignore the &#8220;can&#8217;t be done&#8221; skepticism, and examine the newly emerging energy trend opportunities that will come of age in 2011.</p>
<p>7. Journalism 2.0 Though the trend has been in the making since the dawn of the Internet Revolution, 2011 will mark the year that new methods of news and information distribution will render the 20th century model obsolete.</p>
<p>With its unparalleled reach across borders and language barriers, &#8220;Journalism 2.0&#8243; has the potential to influence and educate citizens in a way that governments and corporate media moguls would never permit. Of the hundreds of trends we have forecast over three decades, few have the possibility of such far-reaching effects.</p>
<p>8. Cyberwars Just a decade ago, when the digital age was blooming and hackers were looked upon as annoying geeks, we forecast that the intrinsic fragility of the Internet and the vulnerability of the data it carried made it ripe for cyber-crime and cyber-warfare to flourish.</p>
<p>In 2010, every major government acknowledged that Cyberwar was a clear and present danger and, in fact, had already begun. The demonstrable effects of Cyberwar and its companion, Cybercrime, are already significant ­ and will come of age in 2011. Equally disruptive will be the harsh measures taken by global governments to control free access to the web, identify its users, and literally shut down computers that it considers a threat to national security.</p>
<p>9. Youth of the World Unite University degrees in hand yet out of work, in debt and with no prospects on the horizon, feeling betrayed and angry, forced to live back at home, young adults and 20-somethings are mad as hell, and they&#8217;re not going to take it anymore. Filled with vigor, rife with passion, but not mature enough to control their impulses, the confrontations they engage in will often escalate disproportionately.</p>
<p>Government efforts to exert control and return the youth to quiet complacency will be ham-fisted and ineffectual. The Revolution will be televised blogged, YouTubed, Twittered and.</p>
<p>10. End of The World! The closer we get to 2012, the louder the calls will be that the &#8220;End is Near!&#8221; There have always been sects, at any time in history, that saw signs and portents proving the end of the world was imminent. But 2012 seems to hold a special meaning across a wide segment of &#8220;End-time&#8221; believers.</p>
<p>Among the Armageddonites, the actual end of the world and annihilation of the Earth in 2012 is a matter of certainty. Even the rational and informed that carefully follow the news of never-ending global crises, may sometimes feel the world is in a perilous state. Both streams of thought are leading many to reevaluate their chances for personal survival, be it in heaven or on earth.</p>
<p>11. The Mystery Trend &#8230; will be revealed upon publication of the Trends Journal in mid-January.</p>
<p>With a 30-year track record to prove it, no one has a more accurate inside scoop on the crucial trends shaping our future than Trends Journal Publisher, Gerald Celente. To schedule an interview with Mr. Celente to discuss these trends before they hit the headlines, contact:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Britain says it’s ready to help debt-hit Ireland with billions of pounds of direct loans. At a meeting of European finance ministers, Chancellor George Osborne said it’s in the UK’s interest to support its closest neighbour. The meeting comes amid fresh market turmoil and fears some smaller economies like Portugal and Ireland are unable to service their massive debts. The E.U. President warned the Eurozone is actually facing a fight to survive. Trend forecaster Gerald Celente says the euro has been put to its greatest test ever.</p>

<blockquote><p>“You have the blindsided, the stupid, and the incompetent telling us what to do next. They’re ruining the country. They’re devaluing the dollar. They’re driving the country into poverty and they’re causing a trade war.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Celente argues that the same scenario from World War 2 is now being setup for the next war.

<p>As with our first <strong><a href="http://www.meetup.com/socalmartiallawalerts/messages/boards/thread/9262641/0#36178046">MARTIAL LAW ALERT</a></strong>, we have held back our assessment of the financial collapse currently underway until we could gather enough information. Since our focus is martial law, we always look at current events with an eye toward assessing the conditions that would be necessary for the President and/or the military to implement martial law. And, since we try to stay at least one step ahead of the game in order to warn people, such assessments must, of necessity, be speculative in nature. Nothing stated herein is guaranteed to happen. The purpose of these alerts is to get people thinking outside the mainstream-media box so that they might be better prepared to meet <em>any</em> eventuality (and this includes being prepared: mentally, emotionally, spiritually <em>and</em> physically &#8212; and being prepared physically <em>includes</em> being prepared <em>financially</em>).</p>
<p><strong>THE SITUATION:</strong></p>
<p>As the price of <a href="http://www.infowars.com/gold-hits-record-above-1340-as-dollar-slides">gold reaches new heights (over $1300 per ounce)</a> and silver climbs to over $23 per ounce, the financial situation in America is dire, to say the least. Continuously rising rates of unemployment, increased government spending and the collapse of the real estate markets are all converging into one perfectly-directed/perfectly-designed collapse of, not only our economy, but the greater global economy as well. While major financial players such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan continue to have <a href="http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/10399">record profits</a>, the <a href="http://www.infowars.com/the-disappearing-middle-class-dream">middle class has disappeared</a> from the American financial landscape. Major financial leaders such as <a href="http://www.infowars.com/bernanke-tells-the-truth-the-united-states-is-on-the-brink-of-financial-disaster-2">Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke</a>, have openly admitted that our country&#8217;s financial system is in deep trouble and even Europe is having <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/2010/10/04/banking-s-new-bailout.html">more banker bailouts</a>. Meanwhile, the American media constantly <a href="http://www.infowars.com/hyped-terror-threat-exposed-as-political-trick-effort-to-continue-afghan-occupation">hypes a possible terror attack</a> in America and other countries in Europe.</p>
<p>If another major terror attack such as 9/11 occurs, <a href="http://www.infowars.com/celente-national-emergency-will-trigger-bank-holiday">trends forecaster Gerald Celente</a> has stated that the event would bring the banking system to a complete halt, which would then result in a &#8220;bank holiday.&#8221; And Celente is not alone. For over a year, many others have warned of an upcoming bank holiday. With our economy already in free fall, it would not take much of a national and/or worldwide terror event to completely crash our (fiat) dollar-based system in a very short period of time. Upon the crash of the dollar, more bank holidays could be declared and oppressive emergency banking powers could go into effect (see: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Banking_Act">Emergency Banking Act of 1933</a>). These include <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/citigroup-warns-customers-it-may-refuse-to-allow-withdrawals.html">severely limiting consumer withdrawals</a> and a recall of physical gold holdings. Taking Presidential Defense Directive #51 into account (PDD-51), even a major stock-market crash could trigger this scenario. And once PDD-51 is invoked, then martial law could be fully implemented.</p>
<p>Another way the collapse of the banking system could lead to martial law is through cyber attacks.</p>
<p>This possibility has been particularly troubling to us, since, earlier this year, <a href="http://www.infowars.com/insiders-neocons-plan-simulated-cyber-attack">CNN aired a staged (i.e. fake) &#8220;cyber terror&#8221; attack</a> complete with fake news reports being fielded by Michael Chertoff and other Washington insiders. Their premise was that the American power grid had been taken down by hacker/terrorists via cyber attack. Since the airing of that fake news program, alternative news agencies such as Infowars and others have made the point that such an attack is impossible for the average hacker, because <a href="http://www.infowars.com/cybersecurity-lie-exposed-power-plants-are-not-connected-to-the-internet/">the power grid is on a completely separate network from the Internet</a>. In the meantime, threats against our power grid have been highlighted in other (suspect) ways, such as the Russians who were recently found trying to break into a <a href="http://www.infowars.com/georgia-man-convicted-on-terror-related-charges">Georgia power plant</a>.</p>
<p>While the media continues to hype the threat of cyber terror against our power grid, others have looked into the perhaps more frightening prospect of a cyber attack on our banking system, which relies heavily upon computer networks as well as the Internet. Such an attack has already occurred both in America (<a href="http://www.infowars.com/nsas-cyber-overkill">over the July 4th holiday in 2009</a>), as well as abroad (in <a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2009/07/2009784212730781.html">South Korea</a>, <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/Technology/Cyber-attacks-force-Estonian-bank-to-close-website/2007/05/16/1178995171916.html">Estonia</a><img src="http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/clear.gif" alt="" width="0" />, <a href="http://convergence.in/blog/2007/08/31/bank-of-india-attack-arrogant-cybercrime-police-and-web-host">India</a><img src="http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/clear.gif" alt="" width="0" />, and <a href="http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=7f3cf367-e71a-4828-b770-4bcacf1cc39f&amp;k=86382">Canada</a><img src="http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/clear.gif" alt="" width="0" />). In fact, in February 2010, the American financial services industry actually participated in a <a href="http://www.bankinfosecurity.com/articles.php?art_id=2048">cyber attack exercise</a> to test the readiness of the financial system, so there&#8217;s no way they can deny that they&#8217;ve actually considered the possibility of such an attack. If such an attack did occur, whole sections of the banking system would most likely go offline (as many believe happened to <a href="http://www.merinews.com/article/bank-of-america-website-downcyber-attack-behind-showdown/15796110.shtml">Bank of America earlier this year</a>), or, worse, massive amounts of account data could be compromised, or lost altogether.</p>
<p>The possible result?</p>
<p>Imagine being unable to access your checking account, your 401K, or, even worse, having your bank balance go to zero and, in the resulting chaos, being left with no way to prove the amount that should be in your account. After all, these days, all your sensitive banking data is stored in computer databases and, in the midst of a &#8220;cyber crisis,&#8221; many (or all) recent transactions could be lost (or the banks could claim such). In such a scenario, the only real proof of funds would be whatever cash a consumer happened to have on hand.</p>
<p>Many analysts such as Gerald Celente and Max Kaiser have been warning people about keeping their money in banks. As America&#8217;s financial situation continues to deteriorate, a false-flag cyber attack would be a clever way to disguise the inevitable and blame the collapse on something (or someone) else. Also, with the nation&#8217;s financial data compromised and/or missing altogether, it would conveniently force a &#8220;reset&#8221; of the banking system back to zero. Amidst the chaos of people trying to function with little-to-no cash while at the same time clamoring for a solution, the government could easily roll out a<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/09/04/1807508/venezuela-introduces-cuba-like.html">ration-card system much like the one Venezuela</a> currently has, and/or a <a href="http://www.rogerclarke.com/DV/MyKad.html">combination identification/debit card like Malaysia&#8217;s.</a> In addition, possible <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/celente-predicts-revolution-food-riots-tax-rebellions-by-2012.html">food and/or water riots</a> could also create the perfect pretense for martial law.</p>
<p>In conclusion: A cyber attack that took out either the banking, or the power grid system would undoubtedly cause much turmoil. A cyber attack that took out both would be devastating. Either one would pave the road to martial law.</p>
<p><strong>OUR RECOMMENDATION:</strong></p>
<p>If you have money in a bank, consider getting it out. (Digital dollars are not durable, nor dependable!) Keeping enough cash as needed for survival is always wise, but consider putting all other assets into precious metals and/or necessary goods in order make the transition into the <a href="http://www.infowars.com/call-for-new-global-currencies-deal">next new currency</a> (whatever that might be). If you do not already have storable food, water and defensive weaponry, now would be a good time to acquire these items. Consider liquidating all paper assets including retirement accounts, stocks, bonds and mutual funds, since, at this point, it wouldn&#8217;t take much to send the value of all these items to zero. Begin, if you have not already, to be more self-sustaining, whether through gardening, or bartering with other like-minded individuals, etc. Now is the time to introduce yourself to your neighbors before the power (and possibly other services) go out. Know who you can trust and who you can&#8217;t.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The American people are afraid, they see disaster coming. Everyone is waiting to see what city is chosen to be sacrificed. Will it be Phoenix or Sacramento or perhaps Atlanta? This is the real fear, the “not so secret” fear in the heart of every American.</p>
<p>By <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/" target="_blank">Gordon Duff</a></p>
<p>For years, America’s military has been divided, competent military professionals and patriots on one side and <a title="Christian Zionists" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/christian-zionists/">Christian Zionists</a>, loyal to Israel and addicted to a propaganda “dreamworld” on the other.</p>
<p>Americans sat, on 9/11, with their military “asleep at the switch,” their president in a daze and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, perhaps out of confusion, we may never know, talking about airliners being shot down and the Pentagon being attacked by missiles. Yes, he said these things, things he couldn’t “unsay” but things the press showed once and quickly buried. Something terribly wrong happened, something years in planning, but not planned in a cave in Afghanistan. Everywhere investigators look, one thing pops up, Israel. The moment that door is opened, it is slammed shut, often with threats, often with more than threats.</p>
<p>We may never know the full extent of the brutality used against those who have spoken up. We know that Arab leaders can be assassinated anywhere, any time. America will remain silent and the news will always support Israel. Israel owns the news.</p>
<p>What about the “suicided” British scientist Dr. David Kelly, the man responsible for moving the Israeli nukes out of South Africa? Reliable sources tell us he was ready to come forward with the facts about a massive political scandal, a cover-up of lost <a title="nuclear weapons" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/nuclear-weapons/">nuclear weapons</a>, blackmail and bribery.</p>
<p>Do we really believe that there are so many unlucky <a title="United States" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/united-states/">United States</a> senators? Crashes of small aircraft has done more to control the US Senate than any election, control used to set the stage for a generation of wars. With AIPAC capable of buying any election, capable, willing and doing it, not an American organization at all but a lobby for a foreign government, one that likes America “not so much” as we are led to believe, is representative government in the <a title="United States" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/united-states/">United States</a> dead? When someone swears an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, is it meaningless when the government itself is no longer “American?”</p>
<p>Control of America, or, more appropriately, control of America’s vast military, tired and worn as it is, represents the key to ruling the world. Fooling the people, buying the government and duping America’s military through infiltrating every level of critical decision making and communications is a task, not only attempted but one long since accomplished. Problem is, even with, not only control of the press, but powerful news organizations directly under foreign control like Fox News, word is getting out.</p>
<p><strong>The American people are afraid, they see disaster coming. Everyone is waiting to see what city is chosen to be sacrificed. Will it be Phoenix or Sacramento or perhaps Atlanta? This is the real fear, the “not so secret” fear in the heart of every American.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/false-flag-Nuke-attack-on-Amercia1.jpg"><img title="false flag Nuke attack on Amercia" src="http://www.pakalertpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/false-flag-Nuke-attack-on-Amercia1.jpg" alt="" width="545" height="506" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>When and if it happens, Americans are not so willing to believe a few goatherds in a cave 8,000 miles away planned it, not anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Why do you think Senator Lieberman has demanded a “kill switch” on the internet? Why do you think “censorship czar” Cass Sunstein has asked to have accusations of Israeli complicity in 9/11 made a criminal act and openly advocated infiltration of groups pushing for an honest investigation. Who is the real “conspiracy theorist” now?</strong></p>
<p>With thousands of of military and intelligence officials, retirees openly, others hiding their rage, aware of the decades of Israeli spying and the 9/11 cover-up, this divide has never been so strong. What we don’t know is how many serving today have the personal courage to speak out openly. Now the threat is <a title="nuclear weapons" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/nuclear-weapons/">nuclear weapons</a>, not just a “shoebox dirty bomb” but full sized nukes, the weapons we have been hunting for years, claiming Saddam was prepared to use them “at 45 minutes notice,” the same nukes “sent to Syria by ambulance.” They could be anywhere and anyone could be ready to use one. There is only one possible culprit capable of doing this, however, only one country with something to gain and the willingness to act.</p>
<p><strong>“We have hundreds of <a title="nuclear warheads" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/nuclear-warheads/">nuclear warheads</a> and missiles that can reach different targets in the heart of the European continent, including beyond the borders of Rome, the Italian capital . . . our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us.”</strong> <strong><em>(Israeli military historian, <a title="Martin van Creveld" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/martin-van-creveld/">Martin van Creveld</a>)</em></strong></p>
<p>Today, America may be facing the nuclear holocaust Creveld describes and there is no reason to trust that our military, intelligence and law enforcement, the dozens of agencies, bureaus and commands tasked with defending America are willing to do so if the attack comes from Israel. In fact, some leaders, even a former head of the Department of Homeland Security, could be on a list of those that might be one of the America’s greatest terrorist threats. How can perceptions differ so much? If perceptions are based on information and that information is pure propaganda, consistent, continual and skillfully presented, not only in news format but reinforced in movies, television series and anyone publicly questioning the “message “is attacked and destroyed, and they are, perceptions can be assumed to be false.</p>
<p>Thus, the general basis for the public’s ideas about who Israel is, what Zionism advocates and what Islam is really about will be unreliable. When you add control of universities, all academic publishing and even total disruption of free speech, the most extreme ideas can be accepted as fact. They have been.</p>
<p>A substantial evidentiary trail exists that places Israel’s possible involvement in 9/11 on the table, with dozens of suspects questioned and more and more of the “facts” about 9/11 now proving, as with the Kennedy assassinations, to be lies.</p>
<p>Real theories, not “conspiracy,” tell us that 9/11 was planned to get America to attack Iraq, part of Israel’s long term strategy for the region, leaving them, not only the only <a title="nuclear power" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/nuclear-power/">nuclear power</a>, but an armed aggressor afloat in a sea of broken nations occupied by American troops, troops who take orders from politicians who take orders from Israel. However, after the massive <a title="Bush administration" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/bush-administration/">Bush administration</a> blunders in Iraq and Afghanistan and the virtual destruction of a military incapable of sustaining a decade long war, the planned <a title="Israeli attack" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/israeli-attack/">Israeli attack</a> using American troops, again, isn’t moving forward as we all know it was planned to.</p>
<p>This time, after America was so badly burned, pushed by the Bush security team, almost all Israeli citizens, many of them still around, running America for Obama, into two insane “Vietnams” it will take more than 3000 murders. With the “duping of America” over 9/11 coming unraveled, something horrendous is in the planning. There is an obvious next step and it has to be nuclear. Anything less would bring an outcry against Israel immediately. Only the “unthinkable” combined with a strong public relations campaign and a cover story with a “do it yourself” terrorist group, like so many of the “just add water” terrorist organizations the Mossad has organized for just such an occasion, will sell the lie, this and the press, not just in America but the other real voice of Israel, the BBC.</p>
<p>The stories about the mobile labs, the “yellow cake” uranium were lies, pap fed to a willing and complicit press. However, the threats are real but how does America protect herself when those tasked with that duty turn a blind eye to the biggest threat. In 1967, Israel was allowed to kill or wound 201 of 296 Americans on the USS Liberty. Surviving crewmen are still threatened by Israeli security for speaking up, as Philip Tourney and his wife will gladly tell you. Captain McGonagle, who won the Medal of Honor working to save his crew from hours of brutal attacks, cried out for justice to his dying day. The American military stood silent as it did on 9/11, as it did on that day in 1967 and as it may have done many times since.</p>
<p>Those among America’s military in 1967, those willing to send the planes from the carriers America and Saratoga to bomb Egypt on behalf of Israel received the thanks of a grateful nation. Too bad that nation was not the United States of America. Only when Israel informed Washington that it had failed to both sink the USS Liberty and effect a takeover of the ship, killing the entire crew, did Admiral McCain order planes headed toward Egypt to return. It had been previously believed these planes were meant to help the USS Liberty.</p>
<p>We have since been reliably informed by sources within the Navy that the planes were armed for ground attack. Thus, as early as 1967, America was willing to see its own troops butchered “for the good of Greater Israel.” Proof of this is incontrovertible and witnesses on both the Liberty and Saratoga have come forward.</p>
<p>We will never know for sure, what secrets are stolen, what weapons given, what enemies aided, what American interests betrayed. With dozens of organizations demanding 9/11 be investigated and the lowest estimate of those who no longer believe the cover story at 30 percent, not a single active duty military officer, not one member of congress nor a single member of the mainstream press has said a word about it. How can thousands of prominent Americans demand that their country begin defending itself and it be covered up? Who has that power?</p>
<p>America has lost at least six nuclear weapons since 1990, maybe more, not Russia or some “breakaway republic,” once part of the Soviet Union. Three were American <a title="hydrogen bombs" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/hydrogen-bombs/">hydrogen bombs</a> off Somalia, no longer usable but with enough plutonium in them to build many fission weapons. Three more were part of 9 produced by Israel in South Africa back in the 80s, all supposedly sent to America for dismantling. Three of the containers were filled with concrete blocks. They had been consigned to “<a title="friends" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/my-account/friends/">friends</a> of Israel” for shipment and were stolen from an unguarded facility in Oman after having been abandoned for months. This would be a wild claim if we hadn’t interviewed those involved in the project and been made privy to a well documented and detailed history of the operation.</p>
<p><strong>These “unattributable” nukes have only one purpose, to be used in a terrorist attack on the United States, a “false flag” attack, to drive America to attack Iran and Pakistan.</strong></p>
<p>How many loyal Americans, FBI, Homeland Security and other agencies are searching the nation, warehouses, ports, looking for the blue 20 foot shipping containers? How many “dual citizens” are tasked with some other purpose? Are our “protectors” really “ours” or do they work for the same pack that bought our congress? Will we find out when a mushroom cloud appears over one of our cities?</p>
<p>Today, America is facing the biggest threat since World War 2. Nothing will be in the news, nothing will ever be in the news, not the truth anyway. When it happens, the news will be ready, like on 9/11 when it was called on to talk Arabs and box cutters, a childish <a title="conspiracy theory" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/conspiracy-theory/">conspiracy theory</a> millions still believe. It was ready to talk weapons of mass destruction and when that turned out to be a lie, it was ready to sit silent for its complicity in war crimes. “War crimes” seems like a harsh term but the definition fits. Invading Iraq on, not a whim, but a series of lies orchestrated by a criminal conspiracy is a war crime. Less obvious to many, the takeover of Afghanistan as a drug production facility or a base for destabilizing Pakistan or an operation center for gas pipelines, whichever reason you choose, was justified by lies as serious as those used to justify Iraq.</p>
<p>For those who follow such things, real leaks are proving two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>Osama bin Laden never stopped working for the Central Intelligence Agency and their “regional affiliates.”</li>
<li>Bin Laden was murdered to silence him after 9/11 just as Benzir Bhutto was murdered to silence her.</li>
</ol>
<p>Real news never reaches America, news that shows terrorism, corporate banditry and the biggest drug cartel in history, tied to American allies, some Muslim but one worse than all combined, Israel. Even today, the mythology of “threatened” Israel and the rockets raining down on their cities, all imagination, is still believed by many in our military. When 9/11 came, be it radio controlled planes, missiles, controlled demolition, our military was on “stand down,” ordered to let the attacks move forward and then roll across the Middle East, an Army hijacked by Israel to help them start their long planned world conquest. Today, America basks in defeat and humiliation and Israel laughs.</p>
<p>We have continual debates about religion in the military. Should Christian sects be able to force troops to prayer? Is America a Christian nation, is this what the founding fathers meant? What if, lets say, these sects were not loyal to the United States but rather constituted a national threat? Is an officer belonging to a Christian Zionist church likely to pass secrets on to Israel? Will they obey orders from the Mossad above their own commanders? Will an Christian Zionist with nuclear access follow his religious calling and cause a nuclear war to bring about Armageddon?</p>
<p>What if their power in the military was that great, part of a systematic infiltration of the military through an extremist take-over of the chaplain’s services and eventually admissions and curriculum of the service academies themselves? What else could explain the total silence we have seen when torture, kidnapping, illegal invasions and “stand downs” to allow terrorist attacks are the norm. How many officers have violated the Geneva Convention, their oaths and the Uniform Code of Military Justice because they felt obliged to a “higher power” to exhibit extreme cruelty, cleansing the world of “infidels?”</p>
<p>Those in the military that feel, as Christians, they are tied to Israel, have lost their minds. Islam and Judaism are much closer than <a title="Christianity" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/christianity/">Christianity</a> and Judaism. With the advent of the trinity, both Jews and Muslims see Christians as, not only polytheistic, worshiping 3 gods, not one, but idolaters as well. To both Jews and Muslims, these issues alone are enough to make <a title="Christianity" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/christianity/">Christianity</a> an enemy. Islam, a religion totally based on Judaism, an Abrahamic faith, built on the foundation of the books of Moses, sees itself as a reform movement stressing moral values as outlined in the Koran and the teachings of the prophet, Mohammad (peace be on him).</p>
<p>To a Christian with a real education, the struggle between the Jews and Muslims is a “family matter.” Jews are the beloved children of Islam who have yet to accept the reforms that defined the true religion. We must remember, without Judaism and g-d’s covenant with Israel, there would be no Islam. Christianity is seen as a Hellenistic bastardization of biblical teachings watered down to sell to the pagan Roman empire. You won’t hear it, not publicly, but it is exactly what is taught to every student, Jew, Muslim — this is their belief.</p>
<p>Muslims have “jihad” and Jews were chosen by g-d to rule the world. Ninety percent of the most serious accusations each makes of the other are, actually, part of the religion of both, only Jews are much better at public relations. After all, they own 90 percent of the world’s media, print, broadcast, even much of the Internet. How do we trust military leaders who don’t know that “goyim” means “cattle?” If you are “cattle” and you believe those who see you as such are your best <a title="friends" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/my-account/friends/">friends</a>, you are not dealing with reality. Perhaps we should teach The Scorpion and the Toad at West Point. This should be the start of the first day’s lecture on America’s Strategic Security in the 21st Century:</p>
<p><strong>The scorpion, in the course of a long journey, encounters a river. The scorpion cannot swim and so he is momentarily stymied until he spies the toad, on the opposite river bank. “Toad!” the scorpion calls out, “will you please let me ride on your back to the other side of the river because, you see, I cannot swim.” “No way,” replied the toad, “if I let you ride on my back you will sting me!” To which the scorpion replied, “But if I am riding on your back and I sting you then we will both die because I cannot swim.” After thinking on it for a moment or two the toad agrees, swims over to the opposite bank of the river where the scorpion jumps onto his back and he turns to swim to the other side. When the toad, with the scorpion riding on his back, gets to the middle of the river, the scorpion stings him. “Scorpion!” Exclaimed the toad, “Why did you sting me? Now we both die.”<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>“Because it is in my nature.” Was the scorpion’s response.</strong></p>
<p>Should we be sick of watching our troops walk through poppy fields, knowing the heroin being produced is destroying the United States, filling our prisons but, at the same time, filling the pockets of, well who? Who is getting a cut of the $65 billion dollars a year earned from the partnership in Afghanistan? Israel is the money end, the CIA does transportation, the Afghan government runs production, but who does distribution? Do the planes really land on military bases? We have already found bales of cash leaving Afghanistan heading for Dubai.</p>
<p>This is only a small part of the money involved. It is this money, combined with the billions we give Israel, the billions they take out of the American economy through control of the <a title="Federal Reserve" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/federal-reserve/">Federal Reserve</a> System (a quasi-governmental scheme of banks with Rothschild lineage that control America) that makes it impossible to get honest news, elect honest politicians and even trust our own military.</p>
<p>In fact, a large majority of Americans openly admit, on every opinion poll, that they don’t trust our congress, our president or any American institution. Nobody asks them why. Would they know? Is it because a foreign country controls our banks, our news, our congress, our military, our foreign policy? Is it because the only reason politics exist in America is so the greedy can line up at the trough, not caring who is pouring the slop, as long as they get theirs first?</p>
<p>No American has a clue where President Obama came from. Many believe he is foreign born, many more think he is Muslim and some believe he is a space alien. In 250 years, documents will be declassified that will either prove or disprove that former President Bush belonged in prison, not the White House, guilty of not AWOL (absent without leave) but desertion during wartime. There is no reasonable doubt of his guilt, only that he used his power to prevent arrest and prosecution. After 9/11, no more questions were asked, and no more witnesses had to receive new homes, fat government jobs or have mysterious heart attacks.</p>
<p>For the Bush years, it was made clear that a military career had to be built on loyalty to Israel, even though their <a title="nuclear arsenal" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/nuclear-arsenal/">nuclear arsenal</a> and their <a title="ethnic cleansing" href="http://www.pakalertpress.com/tag/ethnic-cleansing/">ethnic cleansing</a> of Palestine are the root of every conflict confronting America today. There is no military alliance with Israel. America has no potential enemies. In fact, every nation in the region is either controlled by the United States, occupied or frightened to death. Iran trying to stand against America is the equivalent of Denmark standing against Hitler’s blitzkrieg.</p>
<p>The view of the state of affairs taught our military is childishly stupid. How many of our military leaders are childishly stupid also?</p>
