The Rogue Nation

(AntiWar) – In spite of the fact that the United States faces no enemy anywhere in the world capable of opposing it on a battlefield, the Defense budget for 2011 will go up 7.1 percent from current levels. A lot of the new spending will be on drones, America’s latest contribution to western civilization, capable of surveilling large areas on the ground and delivering death from the skies. It is a peculiarly American vision of warfare, with a “pilot” sitting at a desk half a world away and pressing a button that can kill a target far below.

Flu shots futile: study

Video: Jesse Ventura on The View – Gulf of Tonkin, Pat Tillman , JFK, WTC-7 and 911

Jesse Ventura was on The View yesterday. The same tired comment was brought up: “why would our government do that” in regard to the 9/11 attacks. Jesse does his best but they ultimately “soundbite” him. I guess these overpaid ladies have never read army field manuals, the PNAC report, Operation Northwoods, or even know anything about history such as Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor and so on.

MSM: Doomsday seed vault hits 1/2 million mark

US military behind Haiti quake, says Innsbruck scientist

(AustrianTimes) – Innsbruck political scientist Claudia von Werlhof has accused the USA of being behind the Haitian earthquake in January, it emerged today (Tues).

Werlhof said that machines at a military research centre in Alaska used to detect deposits of crude oil by causing artificial earthquakes had intentionally been set off to cause the Haitian earthquake and enable the USA to send 10,000 soldiers into the country.

Ferdinand Karlhofer, the head of the Innsbruck Political Science Institute where von Werlhof works, has slammed her comments. He said such conspiracy theory had no scientific basis and her claim would damage the reputation of the Institute abroad.

AIPAC of Raving Lunatics

(Infowars) – Without regard for the severe economic devastation and loss of life that a war with Iran would create, Israel’s agents in the United States continue to aggressively stoke the fires of anti-Iranian rhetoric and mobilize their minions on the floor of the House.  The Brzezinski-Soros machine failed in their attempt to effect regime change in Iran by way of a “color revolution” in the summer of 2009.  This has only emboldened the Israeli lobby to pursue more drastic measures. There is only one card left for them to play before provoking conflicts that will most certainly catapult the United States into direct military action against the Islamic State.
