Climate Change Dogma and World Government – Campaign for Liberty

As a physician and as one that has conducted research and published in peer-reviewed journals, I am intimately connected to the scientific world and the scientific process. The scientific process requires a complete objectivity, a complete reliance on the data. It does not rely on what politicians think, or what the supposed majority of other scientists believe, or even upon what was thought to be proven in the past. It requires continual scrutiny and a stubborn willingness to be critical of everything proven and unproven. At times this stubborn willingness to continually analyze and reanalyze established beliefs places the scientific world in disarray as new beliefs replace old. What marks someone as a true scientist is a willingness to let go of previously held beliefs when the facts turn in another direction, even at the expense of one’s established research, reputation, and tenure.

Iran News

(JPost) – ‘Iran has 1 month to respond to West’

Time is running out for Iran to avoid sanctions over its nuclear program, Reuters quoted White House spokesman Robert Gibbs as saying on Thursday. He added that Teheran’s deadline is still the end of the year for responding to international demands. Read More Here

(Reuters) – Russia has no evidence of Iran nuclear bomb-Putin

Iran is testing the international community’s patience over its nuclear program and further sanctions must be considered if it does not cooperate with the West, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday. Read More Here

(Philly) – Iranian arms merchant says ‘war is coming’

The merchant, Amir Hossein Ardebili, who has flown from Tehran to make a deal, patiently answers the Americans’ questions. The radar microchips? Needed for antimissile protection. The sophisticated computers? Essential to “launch the F-4” fighter.
All of it, he says flatly, is destined for the Iranian military “because they think the war is coming.” Against the United States. Read More Here

(Debka) – Iran successfully simulates nuclear warhead detonation – report

German intelligence reports that Iranian scientists have successfully simulated the detonation of a nuclear warhead in laboratory conditions, in an effort to sidestep an underground nuclear test like the one that brought the world down on North Korea’s head earlier this year. Read More Here

(Brazil) – US and Russia Have No Moral Authority to Stop Iran from Building A-Bomb, Says Lula

Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, during a press conference in Berlin, this Thursday, December 3, suggested that the US and Russia should first get rid of their nuclear arsenals before trying to prevent Iran from building its own atomic bomb. Read More Here

Ukraine: H1N1 is not the Problem. Economic Catastrophe Conducive to Deterioration of Health Conditions

The Ukraine deaths attributed by WHO and Ukraine authorities to an uncontrolled outbreak of H1N1 Swine Flu are not the result of H1N1, a virus whose very existence has never been demonstrated by WHO. The deaths appear to be a consequence of collapsing general health conditions as well as supplies of basic grains. The IMF conditionalities imposed on Ukraine as a precondition for a stabilization loan and not Swine Flu is where we should look for the cause.

Currency Warfare – Bob Chapman

This past week was one of utmost turmoil in world markets. In the midst of an American holiday, Dubai faced bankruptcy for some $100 billion. Another unsuspected untoward event. The exposure of the Dubai event coming as it did could have been discovered at any given time, thus, we question the timing. We can understand why the London market was off some 300 Dow points, but exposure to Dubai was very limited in Europe, the US and in Asia. Could it have been an excuse to take down the US and European markets and gold and silver? We do not know, but we have come to question everything that happens.

What Empires Have Said Throughout History: “One More Surge”

(WashingtonsBlog) – A leading advisor to the U.S. military, the Rand Corporation, released a study in 2008 called “How Terrorist Groups End: Lessons for Countering al Qa’ida“. The report confirms what experts have been saying for years: the war on terror is actually weakening national security.

Imposing idiot sanctions on Iran is a direct route to war

Britain has no interest in bullying Iran over nuclear proliferation. The very trap that led to Iraq and Afghanistan looms again

The United Nations’ Role in Peace and War

“The UN of the arms dealers – the most disreputable and yet profitable business on earth.”
Some times the New York Times does the right thing. This morning the Editorial (December 1, 2009) condemned the Swiss referendum vote to prohibit the construction of minarets on Mosques throughout the country. And on the Op. Ed. Page Bob Herbert quoted Eisenhower “ I hate war, as only a soldier who has lived it can, as one who has seen its brutality, it futility, its stupidity.” He added, and “:every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.”

And especially thank you Professor Chossudovsky for this opportunity to speak in Montreal. And to listen, and to learn from audience reaction and comments.

The Peace Prize War

The American information bubble prevents the populace from recognizing the world around it. Iran’s leader, constantly demonized in the “bubble,” “is not a pariah everywhere on earth, no matter how much American press and politicians fume and fuss.” It becomes increasingly clear that the United States is fooling no one but its own citizens, who are victimized by their ignorance. “Military prowess seems to be the only power the United States has left. It apparently has no ability to help its own people.”

Trickle-up Economics – Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me

(PaulCraigRoberts) – Goldman Sachs senior executives are arming themselves with New York gun permits, according to Alice Schroeder on Bloomberg.com.  The banksters “are now equipped to defend themselves if there is a populist uprising against the bank.”

The Audacity of Ethnic Cleansing – Obama’s plan for Afghanistan

“Today, we Afghans remain trapped between two enemies: the Taliban on one side and US/NATO forces and their warlord hirelings on the other.” Malalai Joya “A Woman Among the Warlords” Scribner Publishing, New York
The Bush administration never had any intention of liberating Afghanistan or establishing democracy. The real aim was to remove the politically-intractable Taliban and replace them with a puppet regime run by a former-CIA asset. The rest of Afghanistan would be parceled-off to the warlords who assisted in the invasion and who had agreed to do much of the United States dirty-work on the ground. In the eight years of military occupation which followed, that basic strategy has never changed. The U.S. is just as committed now as it was at the war’s inception to establish a beachhead in Central Asia to oversee the growth of China, to execute disruptive/covert operations against Russia, to control vital pipeline routes from the Caspian Basin, and to maintain a heavy military presence in the most critical geopolitical area in the world today.

Video: Canada’s public television commentary says Climategate spells doom for Copenhagen

(FinancialPost) – caught up with Climategate, but the CBC’s Rex Murphy has. Most CBC listeners and viewers might be wondering what he’s talking about. Since the story broke two weeks ago with the release of emails from the world’s leading climate institute, there has only been one news report on the network and the only analysis item was on Anna Maria Tremonti’s The Current — a pooh-poohing academic from the United States who said there was nothing in the emails worth talking about.

Mythical Green Shoots and the Big Government Lie on Unemployment

(KurtNimmo) – Obama and the government are afraid Americans will soon be up in arms over the “jobless recovery” and the decline in their standard of living. In order to blindside them to the reality of an engineered impoverishment of society – a precondition to world government — they routinely cook the figures on unemployment and then feed this to the corporate media.

Medical Martial Law Possible with New Public Health Bill in South Australia

South Australia has proposed controversial new legislation, in an unprecedented move to legalize forced medicine, civil libertarians say. Under the guise of public health, the South Australian Health Minister John Hill has introduced the South Australian Public Health Bill 2009 into state Parliament. It is feared the Bill will authorize a massively expanded new public health department — in addition to the already existing one — which will wield authoritarian powers that threaten to radically change current medical practice and leave wide spread human and civil rights violations in its wake.

Wake Up, America!

(Pravda) – To my Fellow Americans,
“I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within” – General Douglas MacArthur.
What exactly did General MacArthur mean? Let me try to explain. The United States was founded as a Constitutional Republic based on liberty and the unalienable rights of the individual; and where the government exercised it’s limited power and authority with the consent of “We the people”. But slowly, over the course of the past 100 years, “invisible” forces have turned us into a socialist “Democracy” where government is the Ultimate power and authority; where every action of our lives is legislated and restricted, and where Rights are becoming nonexistent.

Robert Reich Confirms Permanent Destruction of Jobs in America

(Washington’sBlog) – The basic assumption that jobs will eventually return when the economy recovers is probably wrong. Some jobs will come back, of course. But the reality that no one wants to talk about is a structural change in the economy that’s been going on for years but which the Great Recession has dramatically accelerated.

MSM: Homeland Security chief warns of threat from al-Qaeda sympathizers in U.S.

(WashingtonPost) – Al-Qaeda followers are inside the United States and would like to attack targets here and in other countries, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday night.

We’re on the wrong road – Our lives are ruled by deliberate lies

(JohnKaminski) – When you make money the centerpiece of your existence, you guarantee your daughters will become whores and your sons criminals. Really, you guarantee your children will be killed for no good reason. Just take a look at 20th century history. Just turn on the TV.

Iran can shut down vital oil route: US navy

(PressTV) – As word spreads of an upcoming Israeli attack on Tehran, the US Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) confirms that Iran can easily seal off the Strait of Hormuz in the event of war.

U.S. Wars and the Opium Trade

When Turkey in the late 1940s became a site of NATO and US forces its rank became cemented as the number one supplier of opium to the heroin markets of the US and Europe. This illegal opium market was primarily centered in Europe, where the final processing into heroin was done before going on to the market for the rest of the world. Its profits were therefore also made largely by Europeans. In 1968 research ordered by the Nixon Administration revealed that this Turkish opium crop supplied 80% of the opium destined to become heroin for the illegal markets of Europe and the US .(1)

My heart breaks. How do those continue to sit by as our fellow human beings are put behind bars and treated as sub-human? Have we lost touch with our HUMANITY?

Video: Rep. Miller Calls For Climategate Investigation

(PaulJosephWatson) – Representative Candice Miller has called for a Congressional investigation into the climategate scandal, saying that the deliberate destruction of data by scientists intimately involved in the UN IPCC in order to avoid FOIA requests was a “criminal act” and blows away the whole foundation for the cap and trade legislation.

MSM: Between the Lines, an Expansion in Pakistan

(NewYorkTimes) – WASHINGTON — President Obama focused his speech on Afghanistan. He left much unsaid about Pakistan, where the main terrorists he is targeting are located, but where he can send no troops.

Clarification from Richard Gage AIA regarding his review of “National Security Alert”

Earlier this year I wrote a review of CIT’s “National Security Alert” in which I recommended that we all take a closer at the eyewitness accounts supporting the “North path” of American Airlines Flight 77 at the Pentagon. CIT’s investigation includes detailed in-person interviews which appeared quite compelling. As AE911Truth’s focus is the destruction of three buildings at WTC, I didn’t perform an exhaustive review of CIT’s material and methods. My quick statement (see below) should not be portrayed as an endorsement of CIT’s conclusion that the airliner “flew over” the Pentagon.
