Edna Cintron the Waving Woman of 911 (via Aotearoa: a wider perspective)

As a lot of people are hitting my blog and especially the one with the tittle: 9/11 and the Twin Towers: Sudden Collapse Initiation was Impossible I have decided to repost the post I wrote on Edna Cintron, the lady who was standing in the hole made by a plane holding on to the steel which was supposed to be red hot and on the verge of collapsing. She died not of the heat but of the collapse but in her last minutes she was a living testament to the lies told by the NIST about why the buildings collapsed.

A commentator going by the moniker Commontater posted a pertinent comment about a still frame I published in a post some time ago. Sometime ago I posted an article called: 9/11 and the Twin Towers: Sudden Collapse Initiation was Impossible In it I used the frame of a video showing a woman standing in the gaping hole made by the plane which crashed in the first Twin Tower dispelling the myth of the roaring inferno that allegedly caused the pu … Read More

Oh Shit John Key's not going to like this: Goodbye Bank Of America Settlement

BofA bought Merrill Lynch in September 2008. Rumours abound that Paulson the then Goldman Sachs Secretary of treasury pressured the BofA to buy Merrill Lynch and a good part of the TARP bailout went into making up for the losses of Merrill Lynch. 

Merrill Lynch had been a trailblazer in the Derivatives and Bonds trade in the 90s under the directorship of none other then our own John Key who was the Managing director of the European department for Bonds and Derivatives for Merrill Lynch. It is of course the Derivatives trade which is now collapsing the financial system and it seems the chickens are coming home to roost.

With the deregulation and repeal of the Glass Steagall act in 21998 the path for whole sale speculation was opened up and the housing bubble was in full swing with the sale of fraudulent liar loans and mortgages which the banks knew full well would never be paid back and which they sold on to Pension funds and other unsuspecting suckers. Merrill Lynch was one of the banks most exposed to the collapse when it finally came and BofA who bought the Bank under pressure of Paulson bought with it the pile of worthless junk mouldering in its safes and all that paper is now BofA’s headache and the pain is becoming unbearable wh the bank being sued for it’s foreclosure policies and the fraudulently sold mortgages of Merrill Lynch.

The bank put $ 8.8 billion aside for the fine they expected which is a fraction of the plunder and loot they gained but the FDIC is not happy and wants more information and isight in the total amounts of money involved.

Banks hate one thing more then lending money out to small businesses and that is having someone look at their books especially if those book have been cooked as have the BofA’s.

Woefully underfunded and already having lost $ 70 billion of it’s books because their shares tanked when their woes became public I’m afraid this could very well spell the end for BofA. Even with Warren Buffett’s pitiful $ 5 billion publicity stunt.

The good news is that if BofA goes down a great deal of John Key’s ill gotten gain will go down too as a large chunk of his wealth is still in the banks already much diminished shares!!! And that should make all the struggling “little” people of NZ very happy!

Revolution is a Potluck

First of all, don’t worry, I am not advocating violent overthrow of the Robber Class in this piece—now that your mind is eased (or disappointed), I will go on.
Today, Peace of the Action, and our Re-Creating Revolutionary Communities or Bust Tour is wrapping up near Yosemite in bucolic (and hot), Oakhurst. We began in Eugene, Or. and stopped in Hood River and Newport before heading down to California where we had events in Arcata, Garberville, Fresno and soon in Oakhurst.
At each stop, a community potluck was included and I observed and heard many revolutionary acts being planned by members of each community stemming from the mere act of building community.

Back in the days of the Great Depression in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, “community” wasn’t a concept, it was a reality—with longevity in residence, no TV box, and multi-generational homes—for better, or worse, we needed each other. Since then, we have become Pod People—isolated and propagandized by the TV box to the point where many of us believe that if we need another person, we are weak.

GOING ROGUE: NATO’s War Crimes in Libya

Posted on by

By Susan Lindauer.

It’s a story CNN won’t report. Late at night there’s a pounding on the door in Misurata. Armed soldiers force young Libyan women out of their beds at gun-point. Hustling the women and teenagers into trucks, the soldiers rush the women to gang bang parties for NATO rebels—or else rape them in front of their husbands or fathers. When NATO rebels finish their rape sport, the soldiers cut the women’s throats.

Rapes are now ongoing acts of war in rebel-held cities, like an organized military strategy, according to refugees. Joanna Moriarty, who’s part of a global fact-finding delegation visiting Tripoli this week, also reports that NATO rebels have gone house to house through Misurata, asking families if they support NATO. If the families say no, they are killed on the spot.  If families say they want to stay out of the fighting, NATO rebels take a different approach to scare other families. The doors of “neutral homes” are welded shut, Moriarty says, trapping families inside. In Libyan homes, windows are typically barred. So when the doors to a family compound get welded shut, Libyans are entombed in their own houses, where NATO forces can be sure large families will slowly starve to death.

I'm in great company: The Toronto hearings

Posted on by

In two weeks it will be exactly 10 years ago that two planes hit the twin towers of the New York World trade centre. I will also be exactly 10 years ago that something (we have not been privy to the many video’s and to date only one video consisting of a couple of frames has been released) hit the Pentagon and a plane allegedly crashed in to a field in Pennsylvania as a result it is claimed of the passengers fighting the hijackers who wanted to fly the plane into the white house.

The official Conspiracy theory of 19 young hijackers of mostly Saudi descent hijacking 4 aeroplanes, flying around in them for 1.5 hours without contact, transponders and diverting of course without intervention of the US air force  before invading two of the most guarded airspaces in the US and crashing two of the hijacked planes in the twin towers is fraught with inconsistencies and scientific impossibilities and there are many unanswered questions that remain.

Which is why a hearing is organised to take place in Toronto over 4 days from 9 to 12 September in order to present the evidence and witness statements gathered over the last 10 years in a hearing to establish whether a prima faci case can be made for a new and independent investigation.

The Toronto hearings will be aired online and as the hearings start I will attempt to link to these hearings.

You don’t bomb a “captured” city

Each NATO warplane that passes over Libya’s coast and releases its ordnance upon the city of Tripoli is a glaring reminder that not only have the NATO-backed rebels failed to take the city, but the fighting there is beyond their ability to face without constant air support. As each bomb tears through Tripoli’s already NATO-battered infrastructure – most recently destroying a fire station in the Abu Salim district – the world is given daily affirmations of just how duplicitous and premature NATO’s desperate claims of “victory” were, made now nearly a week ago. To add injury to insult, UK’s Foreign Secretary William Hague was imploring South Africa to release funding to NATO’s proxies in Benghazi and suggested that failing to do so would be “risking a humanitarian disaster.” Hague has not yet explained how the persistent aerial bombardment of a heavily populated city isn’t already causing a verified humanitarian disaster.
