The solar wind is a brisk 345 km/sec. There are nine sunspots on the sun today. Northern sunspot AR1957 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. The region's persistent quiet, however, suggests the odds of an eruption are low. NOAA forecasters estimate a 15% chance of M-flares on Jan. 26th.

China to Purchase the Federal Reserve/Is the International Monetary Fund Hinting About An Economic Reset.The U.S. Government Defaulted in October, 2013. In essence, China has been slowly buying up the Federal Reserve for some time now.  We could understand this as a purchase.  It’s more of a negotiation over assuming the liabilities of both the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury.

The Federal Reserve is the largest holder of U.S. debt at $2.1 trillion.  China is second at $1.3 trillion.  Think of it as the United States government doing a debt consolidation of all its treasury bonds because it can no longer pay or service the debt.

China, or the BRICS countries, and/or a consortium of international interests, most likely organized through the I.M.F., will manage the U.S. debt through exchange rate increases and trade tariffs. The reality for Americans for the next decade or more will be price increases/inflation of 30% to 50%, segmented by industry and region, until such a time that its debt, or a negotiated margin of their debt, is cleared from the books The post WW2 boom in the United States was funded by the exportation of the dollars inflation to what is now the emerging markets.  Americans lived on the backs of other countries.  Now the tables have turned.  Or have been turning for many years already.  This would explain outsourcing, trade agreements, immigration, favorite nation status, etc..

Why would China and other countries take on the risk of this debt?  Simple, it’s economic reset or economic collapse.  It’s in the world’s interest to re-structure the U.S. debt to save the whole whale from beaching itself.

Rumors are circulating that the U.S. dollar will have a rate for in country use, and a separate international rate.  That is because the U.S. treasury and the Federal Reserve are about to be severed from each other.  The Treasury will control the in country dollar, and the “international reserve” dollar will be controlled by China and or the I.M.F. consortium of debt holders. The U.S. in fact defaulted back in October of 2013.  This has not been told to the public at large.  Why would the congress insinuate that the debt ceiling is now irrelevant?  The only way the debt ceiling, or debt limit,(eg. the amount the government can borrow) can become irrelevant is if the U.S. has in fact defaulted and the process of default negotiations are taking place.  Think of it as the rest of the world cutting up the credit cards belonging to the United States government.

China has recently purchased the JP Morgan building in Manhattan for $725 million.  One could reason that they have in fact purchased all of JP Morgan.  And I’m sure it will soon be announced that China has or is in the process of purchasing other Western banks and physical assets. These banks make up the majority owners of the Federal Reserve.The gold reserves of the west have been depleted by China.  Some say there is no gold left.  This is more physical assets gone from the legers of the Western banks.  The system of debt based money creation of the Western world is dead.  It’s over.  The shift East is in the final stages of completion.  Obama’s so called “pivot east” is less about positioning assets to counter the stirring of the eastern dragon, and more to do with making those military assets easy to confiscate when the terminal day arrives.It will happen over a weekend, as many have already predicted.  The televisions will announce the largest deal in financial history between the Federal Reserve and China.  They will discuss how all the worlds currencies have been revalued to reflect true production ratios and physical assets.  Accounts will be balanced.  War criminals will be prosecuted.

The Benghazi ShuffleThis summer, friends and I took a cruise in Alaska where the tourist shops often featured the Russian matryoshka dolls.  The dolls originated in Japan but were made popular in Russia around the time of the Russian Revolution, a century ago.  You've seen them -- you pop open an outer doll, and nested inside is another.  The magic of the art is that you keep opening layer after layer, only to find another even smaller doll, until at last the final incarnation is just a kernel in size.  The successive dolls vary from near exact duplicates with hard-to-identify slight variations to entire chess game piece sets, each nested one inside another.  Shoppers pass the various pieces around to their fellow vacationers, amazed at the intricate artwork and comparing the design, shape, and ingenuity with which each piece fits neatly into the next.  Eventually somebody, usually not the same person who began this process, starts trying to put it all back together again, in just the right order.We are at a similar midway point now.Generations of invaluable life and treasure have been spent dismantling the hollow but vast "Evil Empires," yet we did not destroy them.  Their vacuous, threatening shells are all around us now, lying askance in the Globalist's Tourista Dream Shop...waiting...America, like the rest of the world, just watched the spectacular closing scene of yet another act in a drama that has been unfolding for a very long time.  We pause in stunned silence as the curtains close on the four fading visages of our hallowed warrior-poets, handsome and strong.  Their lives were dedicated to writing a new future for the "Mid-East Projects" we are engaged in -- and protecting that future.  That is our "kernel of truth."  Great men keep trying, against all odds, to do what is often a thankless deed...forging and keeping the peace.  Congress and this administration are looking at the same kernel of truth we all see: four dead Americans, slain in a magician's fog of lying facts and half-truths.

As the cast changes costumes and makeup, and the crew rearranges the set and backdrops, we the audience will engage in brief hushed murmurs, our questions, apprehensions, and speculations unanswered, but only for a moment.  With the preparations nearly complete, the next act in this drama will open shortly.  At any moment, the curtains will reopen, and we will be allowed to take in our new surroundings just long enough to almost get our bearings.  Then the orchestra will accost us with a rousing stanza, and the next scene will play out before us with even more dramatic thunders and trauma.

Since the current administration is choosing to conduct our response to these evil events as a murder investigation, the obvious first question is "who benefits?"  In order to answer that question, we must first know a little more about Ambassador Stevens and his role in the Mid-East chess game we are engaged in.

Mr. Stevens operated the Iran desk early in his career and was widely considered one of the very top experts on Iran in the world.  He paid his dues in the early part of his career at the State Department working in Israel/Palestine and Egypt before settling into Syria for several years.  Everywhere he went, he developed very extensive contacts and business/personal relationships.  At one point during this period he was also director of the Office of Multilateral Nuclear and Security Affairs.  Mr. Stevens was an obvious, logical choice when he was selected to go to Libya.

The backstory here is that after 9/11, Col. Gaddafi and his sons expressed a strong desire to turn over Libya's nuclear and chemical WMD materials and plans.  This new outreach was not the result of some angelic revelation by Moammar.  Instead, it was the direct result of President Bush's hardline, no-nonsense declarations to the world: "You are either with us or against us."  Mr. Gaddafi's children (Seif in particular) had expressed a strong desire not to get the hell bombed out of them again, as had happened when my dad reined in Col. Gaddafi during his administration.  The Libyan government assisted by providing extensive and risky covert help while the Bush administration identified, exposed, and dismantled the nuclear proliferation club centered in Pakistan and presided over by A.Q. Kahn, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb. 

With Mr. Stevens's assistance, the world was given another decade without a nuclear device being exploded by some crazed rogue tyrant.  It was one of the greatest achievements of the second Bush administration.In short, Mr. Stevens had become a very high-value piece on the Mid-East chessboard.  But this is chess in 3-D, and there are other boards and bigger agendas, global in scope.

NATO, the U.S., and several other allies, including Saudi Arabia, are engaged in a proxy war with Russia and Iran in Syria.  There is a Ho Chi Minh Trail of Muslim Brotherhood supply lines that crisscross North Africa and eventually enter Syria from staging areas next-door in Turkey.  The chokepoint of these supply lines is the Libyan port city of Dernah, which is approximately one hundred miles east of Benghazi, where

our ambassador was slain.  The Syrian freedom-fighters have been tapping Gaddafi's extensive weapons cache like a military storage depot to facilitate their revolutionary activities. 

Thank goodness the nuclear materials had already been cleared out long ago, and more than half of the chemical weapons destroyed.

The logic being applied by this administration is something like "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."  The problem is that Russia, and Mr. Putin in particular, is not going down without a fight.  The ability of the Russian Navy to support and project their military prowess in the region is reliant on Syria's Mediterranean deep-water ports.  Also, Russia is still the world's largest oil producer, providing the main source of revenue to Russia's own economy.  Turkey, next-door to Syria, is the nexus point of a significant portion of the oil and gas flowing from their fields and refineries to customers in the West.  Therefore, the Syrian debacle threatens Russia both militarily and economically.  The way they see it, the survival of the Assad regime, and their client-state Syria, is their "deep, hard, red line in the sand."

For Russia, Syria, not Iran, is the hidden tripwire for WWIII -- and the battles this time around will not favor us by focusing on our military strengths.  Instead, our opponents intend to tear a page from the last chapter of this chronicle and attempt to defeat us by attacking our vulnerable economic underbelly: our oil-backed dollar.Our primary chessmaster opponents in this match are still stinging from their last loss, which concluded the Cold War, ending four decades of proxy wars around the world.  The final straw then was the collapse of the ruble over a four-month period of time, followed immediately by the "tear[ing] down [of] this wall!" -- with all the humiliations that accompanied that defeat.  "Revenge is a dish best served cold," and Mr. Putin and crew are aching to serve up a dish of that humble pie if we so desire.

It is critically important that this administration and the next (whosever that may be) understand with clarity the real risk a broader Mid-East conflict poses to the United States and the dollar.  For over half a century, we, the American People, have almost singlehandedly promoted and protected the safe and predictable free flow of oil throughout the world with our blood and treasure.  As a result, oil transactions everywhere in the world, including Russia and China, are denominated with dollars.  We purchase their oil with our dollars, and they return with those same paper dollars and employ Americans by buying our goods and services.  This system is also crucial to the security of our diplomatic and legal infrastructure, which is ultimately backed by our military.  It's the core of our foreign policy.  It's a reasonable fair exchange that has made sense since long before President Nixon closed the gold window.

It is incorrect when people suppose that the dollar is no longer backed by anything of value.  The gold and silver that originally backed the dollar "neither spin nor toil"; these metals are only an intermediate store of wealth.  Oil, on the other hand, is dynamic, active; consumption of oil results in creative production and facilitates our industrial activity and growth.  The United States and the modern, Westernized world run (or don't

run) on oil --  yes, oil!  Or to be even more precise -- and it's not wasted breath to repeat this -- it is "the safe, free flow of oil throughout the world, at fair market prices," that is the dollar's new but fluid foundation.  As a result, the dollar is the primary reserve currency of the world.  It backs all other currencies.  So pay close attention to what I'm saying here: any attack on the free flow of oil is an attack on the dollar. 

Any attack on the dollar is an attack on our ability to project power and protect Western democracies, economies, and ideals.  God have mercy on us all if that attack is successful!Russia's diplomatic corps has been challenging us privately and, before the U.N., asking, "What is the strategic advantage you [that is to say we, the American people] hope to achieve if the Muslim Brotherhood/al-Qaeda freedom-fighters succeed in collapsing the Assad regime and taking power in Syria?  Another Egypt?  What if Syria does fold, and the Muslim Brotherhood takes control?  Where do they go next for an encore?  The other Muslim-dominated regions of Russian Empire?"

 We have not even considered the other ominous presence at the game board: China.  Their line in the sand is Iran, and they also sense danger from their own emboldened and radicalized Muslim population!  President Putin and his cohorts in China well understand the threat presented to them by the Muslim Brotherhood, with the Brotherhood's long-range goal of a pan-Arab state stretching well beyond their current Mid-East confines.  Both Russia and China will prefer to engage this battle while it is still a fair distance from their shores.

Inexplicably, over the last several months, this administration has answered these inquiries by accelerating and expanding the trafficking of personnel and supplies through Libya to Syria.  Remember Iran Contra and the Boland amendment?  It handcuffed our intelligence agencies from direct monetary support for the rebels in Nicaragua.  So Col. North got creative.  Which new czar occupies Col. North's old chair now?  I suppose the reason why Congress isn't more involved in oversight of our covert proxy war in Syria is because you don't need much money for arms -- only for administration -- when you already have storehouses full of the best arms money can buy.  Free for the taking and pre-staged, only a few klicks away, in eastern Libya.Iran for its part is glad to assist the Assad regime and its Russian and Chinese protectors; Iran's mullahs are elated to help promote such a strong diversion for our attention, since all the Iranians need now is time to complete their nuclear mischief.  Israel is understandably dismayed that we are so easily diverted from the greater tangible threat that Iran currently presents.

And Ambassador Stevens knew personally all the parts of the Frankenstein monster this administration has been cobbling together.  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly -- Stevens had 'em on speed-dial.  He was following orders, doing the bidding of this administration and his boss, Secretary of State Clinton, overseeing and coordinating the "Intelligence Agency Operatives (from several countries)" with their logistical needs.

If you, my fellow citizens, are as stunned as I am to find this all out now, let me help the still doubting Thomases with one additional fact.  It has been reported that Mr. Stevens' last meeting in his official capacity ended at 8:00 PM, an hour and a half before the attacks began, and whom was it with?  The Turkish consul general.  How would you like to have been a fly on that wall?

The loss of Ambassador Stevens throws a monkey wrench in the works.  Whatever the truth of Mr. Stevens and his associate's deaths, the greatest beneficiary, at least for the moment, is Mr. Putin.  With the world press paying closer attention to the region, it will most likely be increasingly difficult to operate the proxy war, at least temporarily.So much for the "who benefits" and "why" parts of the story -- the rest is just connect-the-dots mechanics.  We have a suspect, and a possible motive.

While we are focused on the flash-bang pyrotechnics and dissipating smoke of the Libyan/North African debacles at the south end of the stage, the magician Mr. Putin and his assistants will be working deftly to pull something out of the sleeve of his other hand to the north.  This is a very dangerous moment, and we dare not blink. Whatever the result of the coming election, the "Evil Empire's" shells are being rearranged and reassembled for the promised "change" heralded by the current administration.For me, however, after contemplating the whole situation, it appears that "the more things change, the more they stay the same" here in the Globalist's little shop of horrors.  It is likely that we will soon be staring down a hall of mirrors -- directly into the faces of some monsters we thought were long dead, or at least tamed.

Dinesh D’Souza made a stunning film just before the last election. 2016 was a film that left its audiences awakened to what is happening under the apparent leadership of Barack Obama. Did it have an impact on the election in 2012? No.Why?

Is it because the supports of Islam did not watch it, and Americans did? Or is it because the election process is corrupt and there have been no free national elections in years? I must say that conspiracy theorists have a field day with these questions. If the film had an impact the elections would have been shifted, provided the actual voting process was representative of real voting.

Shortly after the film was released in theaters and much to the surprise of the liberals, the seats were filled in every theater. It made money.

In America, we have a long tradition of not doing what is commonly done in too many other countries -- criminalizing dissent through the selective enforcement of the law. But that has seemingly changed in Obama's America.

Not long ago, Dinesh made the announcement that he was doing another film. Why? Obama cannot run again. Or can he? Yesterday, I learned that the IRS, the same organization that destroyed Al Capone, was assigned to go after Dinesh and stop him from making this new film. Dinesh was indicted on bundling campaign contributions for

a Senatorial candidate, who lost by the way. This arrest should send shivers down the spines of all freedom-loving Americans. He is out on $500,000 bond, and he will face these charges, although hundreds of Obama bundlers have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for his campaigns without even a glance from the IRS.

Our production team for America has issued the following statement: "We believe this is an unfortunate misunderstanding arising out of Dinesh D'Souza's desire to help the uphill campaign of a friend. There was no intent to do anything illegal or corrupt in any way. This will have no impact on the film America, which will be released on the Fourth of July this year as previously announced. Filming is on schedule and D'Souza will continue to lead the enterprise."

Neither the filmmakers nor the American public can allow this prosecution to deter us from the film's release, and I am calling upon the American people to show their elected officials that this kind of selective prosecution will not stand by joining us at the box office.

I look forward to my good friend Dinesh being vindicated as we hold federal authorities accountable to enforce the law equally and without mind to their personal political agenda. You can leave your support on Dinesh's Facebook Page and with a #StandWithDinesh tweet.

We have not seen the end of this effort to stop free speech at any cost, using the Agency government as the enforcer.

 Surfers may Have had the Key to Understanding Earthquakes all Along

 Ocean waves create seismic waves billions of times weaker than the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. Together, these waves are known as the ambient seismic field, but scientists have another word for it: noise.

Denolle and other researchers are starting to see this noise in a new light.

“There’s a push toward using this noise and turning that into information that you would not have had otherwise,” she said. “We’re using that signal in a very different way, trying to predict ground motion.”

The weak seismic waves move through the same earth that stronger earthquake waves move through, and scientists have been getting better at isolating and studying the ambient waves’ movement underground.

For the Science study, Denolle (then a grad student in Stanford’s Department of Geophysics) installed seismometers along the San Andreas Fault in the spring of 2010 to measure the weak seismic waves. The waves functioned as proxies for seismic waves created by earthquakes, and they revealed that seismic waves from the southern

San Andreas Fault will become amplified when they reach the soft sediment beneath Los Angeles.

SPECIAL REPORT: Many older L.A. buildings could collapse in an earthquake

The effect, Denolle said, can be compared to shaking a bathtub with water in it, with the water representing the soft ground and the tub representing the solid rocks around it. If you shake the tub, she said, the bathtub itself will not shake much, but the water will -- as would anything on top of it.

Other cities resting atop sedimentary basins include Tokyo and Mexico City, said Denolle, who is now continuing her research at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

These cities all have an extra threat from potential earthquakes because of the amplified shaking, said Greg Beroza, a geophysics professor at Stanford and the study’s senior author. The research group plans to test the virtual earthquake technique in other parts of Southern California and in other cities around the world, he said.

The virtual earthquake technique was developed as a way to test computer simulations of Southern California earthquakes, Beroza said. And indeed, the virtual earthquakes confirmed the results from computer simulations that Los Angeles will shake more strongly than surrounding areas.

“The earthquake threat is real for Southern California,” Beroza said. “Sometime in the future we’ll have a big earthquake in Southern California, and these sorts of studies can help us anticipate the reach of these earthquakes and … can motivate the public and governments to prepare for them.”

The new study “reinforces the need for earthquake preparedness,” said Robert Graves, the Southern California coordinator for the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program.

The research is an independent validation of some ideas that have been around for years and is “another rung in the ladder for advancing knowledge,” he said. It is attractive in that it uses real seismic waves and “gives us some confidence that we’re on the right track with the computer models,” he said.

Death race to Damascus continues by Douglas Haggman 1-19-14 If you continue to sleep now America, sleep well. Because when you do wake up, it just might be a long time before you sleep well again. The prematurely darkening sky you see is not just the announcement of evening in America. Those are blustering storm

clouds, and the claps of thunder will be along shortly.  And they will most likely be hard to miss. 20 January 2014: On Wednesday, January 15, 2014, the highly anticipated Senate Intelligence Committee report on the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans was released. The primary investigative report, including redactions, consists of 42 pages with an additional 16 pages of appendices and another 25 pages of additional “majority views.” While the report validates much of what I’ve written well in advance of media reports, it also appears to be deliberately deficient in a number of critical areas. The report acknowledges that there were no protests over an obscure internet video at this facility in Benghazi, which was neither an embassy nor a consulate. As I initially exposed, the report confirms on page seven that the Benghazi facility was an undercover CIA compound. It was only somewhat known to be a U.S. asset in the region, but had no U.S. flag flying anywhere on the property, and did not serve any diplomatic operational function as would an embassy or consulate.

Event everyone knew it was a CIA cover operation, no one could reasonably believe that some back yard video in Florida that had 4 clicks on You Tube could have stirred any sort of protest, let alone drawn highly trained mercenaries to the compound’s walls. The Administration and the lapdog media shamelessly peddled this crap. It was not only a lie, but a contemptible lie. So far, no one has done anything except promote the people who fabricated and peddled this lie. Now, the critical issue of the actual function that CIA compound served remains the “third rail” of our elected leaders and their obedient media. Under the direction of Barack Hussein Obama in the Executive branch, and Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Secretary of State, this compound was spearheading a weapons running operation to arm Al Qaeda in Syria by way of Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.

As I detailed in my earlier boradcasts, reasonable estimates suggest that between 30-40 million pounds of missiles, guns and even chemical weapons (gas) had been confiscated in Libya and shipped to various prepositioning locations in Turkey and directly into Syria for use by anti-Assad “rebels.”

The function of this compound was far different than the legitimate function of the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. The compound in Benghazi served as a logistics hub to arrange the crisscrossing supply lines of Gadaffi’s weapons, under the control of Muslim Brotherhood factions, to the Libyan port city of Dernah, the chokepoint of the arsenals. This was appropriately named the “Ho Chi Minh Trail of Muslim Brotherhood supply lines” as referenced in an October 5, 2012 article by Michael Reagan titled “Building on a kernel of truth.”  Despite this exposure, senate and congressional investigators, whose job it is to uncover the truth, still don’t seem willing to ask the correct questions. Why?

The ministers of defense for the US, yes you heard me right, and the corporate media continue to repeat Ms. Jarret’s propaganda with not only the bodies of four dead Americans, but with the future of all Americans. She continues to advance the U.S., and the world, on a certain course that will take us headlong into World War III by setting us up like a clean, read white and blue target for Al Qaeda. The president, once a golden orator with a message so correct that it drew record crowds, has now been exposed as a lackey for the Garret agenda; the United Islamic States.

As I have consistently maintained, the either attacks in Benghazi were proxy attacks at a nation-state level in response to our arming Al Qaeda, or Ambassador Stevens was about to turn State’s evidence and ask for amnesty, because he could stand by and see innocent people be gassed and bombed by the weapons he was brokering to Al Qaeda. The State Department found out about it and gave the green light to mercenaries to kill everyone at the compound in Benghazi. Remember, the Ambassador was not killed outright. He was repeatedly raped and left to die on the floor the most humiliating death a Persian knows how to deliver to another man. How cold runs the blood of Hillary Clinton? You just wait until she’s president; you’ll find out for yourself.

The recent actions of new Secretary of State John Kerry are as insidious as his predecessor’s, although perhaps not as overt or easily identifiable in this hall of mirrors of Middle East politics. By stating that the U.S. would not militarily intervene in the take-over by al Qaeda and related terror groups of the Al Anbar Province of Iraq, where many Americans died for the ostensible cause of freedom for the Iraqi people, he has given them a green light to open another front against Syria. Opening a front to the southeast of Syria via Iraq is actually one of many contingency plans, as blaming the use of chemical weapons on Assad did not work as planned to allow Obama to launch a Bosnia-style air campaign on Assad. Putin was quick and well published in his denouncement of such a hollow plan. Impeachment would ruin Obama’s dream of glory at the presidential palace in Hawaii and a lifetime of patronizing political speeches for $100 thousand a speech.

As I have written many times, the goal has always been to facilitate the pipeline to Qatar. It must pass through Syria. With Assad in power, that pipeline will never happen. The economic hit men who spent years trying to ensnare this region in debt, and economic sanctions are tasked by trillion-dollar corporations to get this done, and they will not take “No” for an answer.

Syria will not implode and it will not succumb to some rag-tag army of militants, although Al Qaeda has been greatly aided and abetted by Obama and his investments. So, when all of this comes unraveled, and it will, look for it to explode eastward into Saudi Arabia, into the Arab sea, north into Iran and all the way to the Strait of Hormuz.

And when, not if it does, that attack will not just damage shipping and the free flow of oil into Western markets, it will crush the dollar and with it the hopes and dreams not just of the U.S., but western civilization itself.

If you continue to sleep now America, sleep well. Because when you do wake up, it just might be a long while before you sleep well again. The prematurely darkening sky you see is not just the announcement of evening in America. Those are blustering storm clouds, and the claps of thunder will be along shortly.  And they will most likely be hard to miss.

The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own OneWilliam Black is both a Professor of Law and Economics.  He has a wealth of opinions on the politics of spying and Wall Street crime. On President Obama’s curtailing of NSA spying, Professor Black says, “It is only because of Snowden’s disclosures that we know more, and we have this debate . . . The NSA probably intercepts 50,000 documents for every one document that foreign intelligent services collect. 

So, we are the story internationally. . . . It turns out we were not just spying on terrorists, we were spying on the general population of the world. . . . We used the intelligence we were gathering against journalists to try to discourage whistleblowers from coming forward.”  As far as President Obama’s recent curtailment of NSA spying, Professor Black says, “It really tells you the politics of the thing.  They decided they had to do something politically to curtail this because they are getting terrible publicity, and they’re getting terrible publicity not just in the United States. . . .  This turned into disaster in terms of public relations for the United States and in terms of diplomatic relations.”  Professor Black is a former financial regulator and an expert in white collar crime.  What does the Professor think about the trouble JP Morgan Chase has been in over things such as the so-called London Whale trading losses, the selling of tainted mortgage bonds and being a conduit for convicted fraudster Bernie Madoff?  Just these three legal debacles alone have cost the bank nearly $23 billion in fines, restitution and trading losses in the last year.  Professor Black says, “CEO Jamie Dimon has presided over the largest financial crime spree in world history. . . . It depends on how you count it, but it is more than a dozen, and more in the range of 15 major felonies that either the United States investigators have found, state investigators have found or foreign governments have found.”  The Professor goes on to say, “JP Morgan’s frauds are epic in scale, unprecedented in world history. . . in these $23 billion we’re talking about, these are frauds that made Jamie Dimon and other senior officers incredibly wealthy by creating fictional income that led to very real bonuses.”  Some of those bonuses are in the $100 million range for a single transaction. 

But, it’s not just JP Morgan.  According to Professor Black, the entire financial system is headed for an even bigger collapse.  As a major warning sign, Professor Black points to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew’s complaint about no money for regulation in the recent budget deal.  Professor Black says, “Jack Lew is the anti-canary in the coal mine because Lew has been gutting regulation for virtually all of his professional life. . . . Lew is saying, my God we’ve gone so far we’re going to cause the collapse of the system. . . . You know when Jack Lew keels over, you’ll know that carbon monoxide has already killed everybody reasonable.”   

The system may be ungovernable, but that is the point. The Agencies do not mean to govern anything. They wish to rule everything.

Is there a possibility of civil unrest? Not nationally, I think. Although there are 150 million adults in America, they are more concerned with Justin Bieber than they are with the banker’s Coup D’Etat that is taking place right before our eyes. I believe that in the next 8 weeks, the Chinese equity and liquidity will dwarf the phony Fed Pumping and the cafeteria now serving the free lunch will be abandoned for the real meal deal at the Chinese counter. There may be a few kids that get it and protest, but there is plenty of pepper spray to go around. They will beat any protestors into submission, and the rest will line up outside the noodle shop and wait peacefully.

Laser Beam Technologyby Pete Santilli, The Pete Santilli Show & The Guerilla Media NetworkNormally when I read an alternative media reporter’s assertion that their “source” came to them with top secret DHS information, or information about Russians infiltrating the USA, I immediately consider them not to be credible and very rarely read the rest of their article.

 The technology which Israel possesses is now being publicly disclosed as some sort of “laser” weapon system, when in fact it is a directed energy weapon capable of molecular dissociation. Does it sound like a disintegration ray? Not quite. It is more like the universally banned Romulan Disruptor beam. The reason why Israel is claiming to have a powerful laser system is because they can’t admit they have access to Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (L.E.N.R.) technology or knowledge of cold fusion.  

In my opinion, if any country should not have a Directed Energy Weapon (DEW), it’s Israel.  They have acquired every high tech weapon for its defense, and they will certainly use any or all of them offensively when necessary. Israel’s arsenal has literally destabilized the entire middle eastern region.

For the record, Israel is again lying to the public.  Based on what I have been told, they are going to use DEW technology to turn missiles and rockets to dust in mid air.

 Israel plans laser interceptor ‘Iron Beam’ for short-range rocketsJERUSALEM — Israel plans to deploy a new missile shield known as “Iron Beam” next year which would use a laser to blow up short-range rockets and mortar bombs, a defense industry official said on Sunday.

The system is designed to deal with threats that fly on too small a trajectory to be engaged efficiently by Iron Dome, the Israeli interceptor credited with an 80 percent success rate against rockets fired by Palestinian militants.Both shields are manufactured by state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. While Iron Dome launches radar-guided interceptor rockets, Iron Beam’s laser will super-heat the warheads of shells with ranges of up to 4.5 miles.

By now there are countless reports, from hospitals, witnesses, armament experts and journalists that strongly suggest that in the current offensive, Israeli forces are using “new weapons” in Lebanon and Gaza. This may just be the early tests of these weapons. There is a reason why they are banned throughout the known universe. The victims suffer terribly before they die, unless you turn it off in time. In which case, they simply suffer for a long time. Most never recover from the exposure.

New and strange symptoms are reported amongst the wounded and the dead.

Bodies with dead tissues and no apparent wounds; “shrunken” corpses; civilians with heavy damage to lower limbs that require amputation, which is nevertheless followed by an unstoppable necrosis and slow death; descriptions of extensive internal wounds with no trace of shrapnel, corpses blackened but not burned, and others heavily wounded that did not bleed.

Many of these descriptions suggest the possibility that the new weapons used include “direct energy” weapons, and chemical and/or biological agents, in a sort of macabre experiment of future warfare, where there is no respect for anything: International rules (from the Geneva Convention to the treaties on biological and chemical weapons), refugees, hospitals and the Red Cross, not to mention the people, their future, their children, the environment, which is poisoned through dissemination of Depleted Uranium and toxic substances released after oil and chemical depots are bombed.

Right now, the Lebanese and Palestinian people have many urgent and impellent problems, yet many people believe that these episodes cannot and must not pass ignored. In fact several appeals have been launched to scientists and experts with a view to investigating the issue. With the intent of responding to such appeals, we have set up a team to investigate the testimonies, the images, and possibly the material evidence that delegations and NGOs will be able to bring from the affected areas. We want to offer support to the health institutions of Lebanon and Palestine, which ask constantly for help and external verification and monitoring, and we are examining all available materials in order to formulate hypotheses which can be verified or disproved.

We ask for the active participation of our (Italian) scientific institutions, and, following the request from medical personnel in the conflict area, we are requesting that the UN set up an international independent verification and investigation committee, with a view to facilitating entry into the conflict zone, as well as collecting material and testimonies directly in the field, and undertaking inquiries and verifications concerning the various claims regarding these new kinds of weapons of mass destruction being used by Israeli forces in Lebanon. We request that such investigating teams be set up immediately, and that procedures be defined and implemented with a view to supporting future investigations. Of particular concern is the issue of how to collect and store samples from the different theaters, with a view to preserving important information regarding the various impacts of these weapons.

We ask that the international committee have access to all sources of information, that it be fully operational, while abiding by relevant investigative procedures, including cross-checking of information between different laboratories.  As people and as scientists, we are offering our time and expertise in order to reach an understanding of the underlying facts, in the belief that a perspective of justice, equity and peace among people can be reached only with the respect of the rules defined up to now within the international community of nations. The issue pertains to the behavior of the parties in an armed conflict.

We ask that the respect of these rules be verified in the context of the present conflict. We invite scientists to contribute to this effort by offering their specific competences. In particular we seek collaboration of toxicology experts, pharmacologists, anatomy pathologists, doctors with an expertise in trauma and burns, chemists. They can reach the working group at the e-mail address: nuovearmi@gmail.com

 ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND: by Jack Spencer and James Jay Carafano, Ph.D.

Anyone who has traveled in America knows that America's critical infrastructure--e.g., power plants, transportation hubs, and telecommunications facilities have always been wide open targets for precision missile attacks. Guided missile technology and the missiles themselves have been available for years, but the folks down at Wars-R-Us would have us believe that although there has never been a single such attack, that we need to spend billions getting ready for such an attack.

While technology transfer legislation and international agreements may help to control the spread of some technologies, they are not hard to build or to hide and deploy. Therefore, it is essential that the United States actively defend its most vital nodes of critical infrastructure. Don’t be surprised if you begin seeing military-style defense systems setting up around substations in your local neighborhood.

This means that Wars-R-Us is going to demand these promising technologies are effectively fielded in a timely manner. Here is what they are going to demand:

Congress should fully fund directed-energy programs; The Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Homeland

Security (DHS) should cooperate fully on their respective directed-energy efforts;

DHS should conduct a national needs assessment of critical infrastructure; and The United States should facilitate the sharing of directed-energy technology with its allies.

The Threat of Precision Strike Weapons

Although rarely considered in homeland security assessments, precision attacks using missiles--traditionally thought of as conventional weapons—are perceived to be a threat to principal U.S. infrastructure. Precision missiles can engage targets at extended ranges, from one hundred yards to thousands of miles. Whereas the military already employs certain measures to thwart such stealthy attacks abroad and defend key military installations, other more diverse and soft nodes of U.S. critical infrastructure are less well-defended and often not defended at all.

One more thing.

Facebook has repeatedly attacked Barracuda Brigade during our 4 plus years of existence over posts of documented news stories. Each time we “appealed” the action to Facebook. We pointed out to Facebook that a documented and sourced news story cannot be a violation of any policy.

On 9/5/13 America under President Obama’s orders, was on the brink of launching some type of military action in Syria against the Assad government. Without replaying the entire sequence of events, America in every credible and respected poll overwhelmingly was against doing this. Our nation’s primary reason for rejecting Obama’s decision to attack Syria was in most part based on the fact that we would be using America’s military to advance the military and ideological goals and standing of America’s sworn enemy Al-Qaeda, as stated in Federal  law. There was no question then or now that the “Syrian Rebels” are nothing but Al-Qaeda direct and their affiliated Islamic jihadist groups dressed up in a politically correct label.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada was directed by President Obama to call a “vote of authorization” in the Senate. To our utter disbelief and frankly disgust, the vote to advance Al-Qaeda’s goals using America’s military was scheduled for 9/11/13. The same date 12 years later of the Al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11/01 on America, which killed 2800 plus of our citizens. Also just 1 year from Al-Qaeda’s attack of 9/11/12 on our Ambassador and others in Benghazi. The same date which for each year after 9/11/01 memorial services are held in New York, Washington DC, Shanksville and all across America and the world for that matter. The vision of the grieving families as the names of their lost loved ones being called, while the Senate concurrently was voting to approve military operations on Al-Qaeda’s behalf was utterly sickening to all Americans. How any sitting POTUS could give such a directive to his Senate Majority Leader, it’s beyond any and all comprehension.

Barracuda Brigade posted this story and image on 9/5/13, for the record that was over 4 plus months ago. As history will record, the vote never happened. America wouldn't tolerate it. To our utter disbelief on 1/15/14 Facebook took adverse action against the page and it’s staff for this post. They cited a historically documented and sourced photo from 9/11/01 as “Inappropriate and Offensive.” The story itself was not the “trigger” for their action, the horrifically iconic image of that dreadful Tuesday is what they had and still have an issue with.

Like before Alicia and I along with help this time from Joe Newby of examiner.com filed a direct “appeal” to Facebook on 1/15/14. Today is 1/25/14 and still there is no response from Facebook. The adverse actions taken against Barracuda Brigade and her staff, are still in place. Facebook’s actions in this case are way beyond unacceptable, they're egregious and a total insult directly against the families who lost loved ones on 9/11/01; as well as all of America and the freedom loving world.

To Facebook Barracuda Brigade says this directly without any hesitation, what is wrong with you? You're a “Fortune 500” company trading openly on the stock market. Do your investors know that you view sourced and documented images from 9/11/01 as

“Offensive and Inappropriate?” Is that the reason your policies do not state explicitly that any and all images of 9/11/01 are unacceptable and the trigger for adverse action?

How exactly do you plan on explaining this to the loved ones and friends of those lost on 9/11/01 who use Facebook?

If documented and sourced images from 9/11/01 are triggers for adverse action, then are images sourced and documented from D-Day, Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg or Bunker Hill also adverse action inducing and prohibited? How about Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom or Libya?

What about documented and sourced images from all the terrorist attacks our world witness’s on a near daily basis? How would the censoring and repression of these events be helpful in identifying, stopping and catching those with committed designs to harm, maim and kill untold numbers of innocent civilians? Have you noticed that Putin has publicly advised Sochi and the world of the threats directed at the 2014 Winter games? Did you notice the public release of photos of the “White Widow?” Is it adverse action triggering if those stories and photos are reported on, on Facebook?

Barracuda Brigade could go on forever citing examples, but, enough said. We are going public with this due to Facebook’s decision to stand by it’s action against us. We “appealed” it and lost. Threats of adverse actions remain in effect. We will be forwarding this “very news worthy story” to all media outlets. We’ll be sending this story to every voice on the internet, radio and television. As stated prior, your conduct Facebook is not only egregious, it’s grounds for investor abandonment and your removal from the stock market.

We ask all who read this, forward it to family, friends and any and all of the “voices of the people” you can think of. The families of the 9/11/01 victims, murdered in cold blood, deserve way better and need us to stand up and defend them. Please add this hashtag on twitter when forwarding this story: #FacebookOffNYSE.

We want to close this with this final thought: Obama and Hillary “invited and greeted” the families of the Benghazi attack as the bodies of their loved ones were returned in a “very public service.” They both told the grieving families directly, 5 days after the 9/11/12 attack, “Your loved one died because of a video against Mohammed. We swear to you, we’ll get the video maker.” It was a premeditated lie, a ruthless cold hearted and evil lie; created and designed for political purposes. What kind of person would do such a thing to grieving families? In Barracuda Brigade’s opinion Facebook, that is the definition of “Offensive and Inappropriate.”

9/11 Theories

1. Inside Traders Knew About Attacks Before They Happened

Right before the September 11th attacks, some fishy business happened within the stock market and insurance firms. An “extraordinary” amount of put options were placed on United Airlines and American Airlines stocks, the same airlines that were hijacked during the attacks. Many speculate that traders were tipped off about the attacks and profited from the tragedy. The Securities and Exchange Commission launched an insider trading investigation in which Osama Bin Laden was a suspect after receiving information from at least one Wall Street Firm

2. Air Defense Was Told To ‘Stand Down’In the event that a airplane were to be hijacked, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is prepared to send out fighter jets which can debilitate or shoot down an airplane. On 9/11/01, NORAD generals said they learned of the hijackings in time to scramble fighter jets. Some skeptics believe NORAD commanded defense systems to “stand down” because of their lack of presence during the attacks.

3. Planes Didn’t Make Twin Towers Collapse, Bombs DidThe World Trade Center collapse appeared similar to a controlled demolition. Many speculate that the towers were in fact blown down with explosives placed in selected locations. Some witnesses accounted hearing explosions inside the building as they attempted to escape. Many architects and scientists even maintain that a plane’s fuel cannot produce enough heat to melt the steel frame of the two buildings that collapsed.

4. The Pentagon Attack Scientifically Doesn’t Hold UpThe Pentagon crash may be the most-puzzling event of the day. Theorists maintain that the impact holes in the pentagon were much smaller then a commercial American Airlines plane. They also question why the plane was not shot down prior to impact as well as why the plane impacted in to a section of the Pentagon that was vacant due to renovations.

Many 9/11 conspiracy theories surfaced shortly after the September 11th attacks — some bringing compelling arguments and some not holding up at all. Theorists believe that the World Trade Center buildings were demolished by bombs, phone calls from the planes were made up, and the former President George W. Bush secretly profited from the attacks.

5. Flight 93 Was Completely StagedThe fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, crashed in Shanksville, Penn. It is believed that the passengers fought back and crashed the plane in to a field. Skeptics believe that Flight 93 landed safely, while a substitute plane was shot out of the sky. Other theorists believe that the passengers were murdered or relocated and will never be found.

6. Hijackers Are Alive. How Did Their Passports Survive Explosion?After the September 11th attacks, the “Loose Change” documentary stated that all of the hijackers were in fact alive in other countries. Rather presumptuous since it is possible for two different people to have identical names. But they did raise a good point; how did the passports of the terrorists survive the explosion? In the aftermath of the attacks, passports and identification were found as evidence. Many skeptics question how identification made out of paper survived an explosion, which destroyed buildings.

7. Cell Phone Calls Made From Plane Were FakedIn flight calls were made from cell phones in hi-jacked airplanes. Scientists and skeptics maintain that cell phones could not receive reception from the altitude the planes typically fly at. Other skeptics questioned a phone call from a son to his mother, in which he referred to himself by his own first and last name.

8. Jewish People Knew Attack Was Going To Happen, Took Off Work On September 11thTheorists noticed that 4,000 Jewish employees took off from work on September 11, 2001. Some of the first people to record the attacks on camera were Jewish also. Many became suspicious of there actions and put them on the radar as suspects in the wake of the attack.

11. Aluminum Planes Can’t Penetrate Steel Structure Of World Trade CenterCommercial airplanes’ frames are constructed with a very light aluminum material in order to make it easier to fly. Theorists maintain that there is no possible way an airplane can do as much damage as it did to the Twin Towers as it did. Theorists believe that missiles or explosives were used to ensure the buildings collapsed.
