A Constitutional Republic: Voting on dinner is expressly forbidden, and the sheep are armed. 4. Federal Government: The means by which the sheep will be fooled into voting for a Democracy. 5. Freedom: Two very hungry wolves looking for dinner and finding a very well-informed and well-armed sheep. |

Yellowstone Earthquake Swarm Summary as of 11 February 2010 The rate of earthquake occurrence in the Madison Plateau area is now at background levels. As of February 11, 2010 4:00 PM MST there have been 1,805 earthquakes located. The swarm began January 17, 2010 around 1:00 PM MST about 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the Old Faithful area on the northwestern edge of the Yellowstone Caldera. Swarms have occurred in this area several times over the past 30 years. Visual observation of landforms and geothermal features by Yellowstone National Park personnel did not show any changes that could be attributed to the earthquakes. This swarm is now the second largest recorded swarm at Yellowstone. It was longer (in time) and included more earthquakes than last year's swarm beneath Yellowstone Lake (December '08/January '09). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

U.S. Economic Terrorism the New ‘Winning Trade’
Bullion Bulls Canada
February 14, 2010
As governments responded in a totally predictable manner, Wall Street began to collect on its interest-rate swap scam (see “WHO were the WINNERS in Interest Rate Swaps?”). With this scam the Oligarchs progressed from merely destroying companies and individuals to destroying schools, hospitals, towns and even states.
However, as we are now finding out, those were merely Wall Street’s “appetizers”. For their “main course”, the Oligarchs have moved up to destroying nations. Here, I must confess to once again underestimating the Oligarchs. I had thought that the latest propaganda campaign was merely a tactic to pull the worthless, U.S. dollar out of yet another nose-dive. How wrong I was!
Wall Street Journal - - 2 hours ago WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--China slipped in December to the second-largest foreign holder of US Treasurys behind Japan after holding the top spot for 15 months, raising concerns of a more permanent shift out of the dollar. Net foreign purchases of US assets slow in Dec. MarketWatch Foreign demand for US Treasury securities falls by record amount as China reduces holdings , On Tuesday February 16, 2010, 9:58 am WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government said Tuesday that foreign demand for U.S. Treasury securities fell by the largest amount on record in December with China reducing its holdings by $34.2 billion. The reductions in holdings, if they continue, could force the government to make higher interest payments at a time that it is running record federal deficits. The Treasury Department reported that foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury securities fell by $53 billion in December, surpassing the previous record of a $44.5 billion drop in April 2009. The big drop in China's holdings meant that it lost the top spot in terms of foreign ownership of U.S. Treasuries, dropping to second place behind Japan. Japan also reduced its holdings of U.S. Treasuries, cutting them by $11.5 billion to $768.8 billion in December, but that amount was still more than China's December total of $755.4 billion.

Kiss That V-Shaped Recovery Good-Bye: The U.S. "Worse Than Greece," Says Economist
Bank of America's troubles won't be ended by SEC deal Bank of America shareholders probably won't get rich off any settlement the bank makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but they might get some ammunition for future lawsuits. New York judge Jed Rakoff is expected to rule this week on whether the Charlotte bank can settle with the SEC for $150 million or must go to trial. The bank and the agency have been arguing for months over whether Bank of America properly disclosed billions of dollars of bonuses rushed out to Merrill Lynch employees in late 2008. |

US and Pakistan capture Taliban military commander The West has claimed its biggest scalp in its battle with the Taliban with the capture of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.

A Taliban spokesman said Ghani, known to many Taliban as Mullah Baradar, was still in Afghanistan actively organizing the group's military and political activities. "He has not been captured. They want to spread this rumour just to divert the attention of people from their defeats in Marjah and confuse the public," Zabihullah Mujahid said while talking to a UK-based news agency, referring to a U.S.-led NATO offensive in Afghanistan's Helmand Province. ... |

The scenes of homelessness and the squalor of Downtown Eastside are not the images Olympic organizers want visitors to leave with, but the neighborhood's close proximity to BC Place Stadium where the Olympic cauldron will be lit on Friday, will make it hard for visitors to miss.

HenryMakow.com | The Ficticious Legal Entity Called "a Person"
A quote, famously attributed to Rothschild agent Col. Edward House, but rarely understood except by "one man in a million" envisages people as collateral on the national debt:
"[Very] soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a National system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging.
By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a chargeback for our fiat paper currency. Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able to work and earn a living.
They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges.
They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two would figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability.
After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges. This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor or to this fraud which we will call "Social Insurance."
Without realizing it, every American will insure us for any loss we may incur and in this manner; every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America."
If you can decipher what this means, you will truly understand a massive piece of the Global Agenda.

Audit finds US census preparations wasted millions
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Census Bureau wasted millions of dollars in preparation for its 2010 population count, including thousands of temporary employees who picked up $300 checks without performing work and others who overbilled for travel costs.
Federal investigators caution the excessive charges could multiply once the $15 billion headcount begins in earnest next month unless the agency imposes tighter spending controls, according to excerpts of a forthcoming audit obtained by The Associated Press.
The Kansas City Star February 16, 2010 From the day he arrived last summer, Superintendent John Covington spoke bluntly about the excesses of the Kansas City School District. It had twice as many schools, he said, and twice as many employees as it needed for a district of 17,000 students. Too many vendors. Too big a payroll. His proposed answer — close half the district’s schools — is unprecedented in scope, a national expert said. And Covington has spared no areas from the potential cuts, including the school district’s African-centered education program. “I don’t know of any major city that ever tried to cut upwards of half of its schools at one time,” said Michael Casserly, the executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools. “That’s a lot of schools.” Detroit closed more than 70 two years ago, but the district had more than 200 schools. Washington, D.C., closed 23 in one shot in 2008 in a district with some 120 schools. Detroit showed the process can be a disaster, Casserly said, while Washington proved that a large-scale cut can work. “The major difference is a clear and objective set of criteria and transparent community involvement,” he said. Covington’s team goes to the community in a series of forums beginning tonight to see just how much of a cut the community — and ultimately the school board — can stand. He has proposed closing 29 to 31 of the district’s 60 schools and its underused administration building as part of cutting more than 700 jobs. He wants to be able to make a final proposal to the board Feb. 24. READ MORE |
Kraft Foods 4Q profit more than triples, sales up

NORTHFIELD, Ill. -- Kraft Foods Inc. said Tuesday its fourth-quarter profit more than tripled on strength in developing markets and continued benefits from its restructuring plan to focus more on its money-making products.
The food maker, which is buying British candy maker Cadbury, said it expects long-term earnings growth at the high end of its previous guidance.
Kraft, whose brands include Maxwell House, Oreo cookies and its namesake cheese, said profit surged to $710 million, or 48 cents per share, for the period ended Dec. 31. That's up from $178 million, or 12 cents per share, a year ago ...

French media exposes secret report on French nuclear tests on humans RIA Novosti 16/02/2010 France carried out nuclear tests on its servicemen in the 1960s to study the effect of radiation on humans, according to a secret report uncovered by French media. The 260-page document, reported by Le Parisien newspaper on Monday, said the experiments were carried out on French soldiers in Algeria's Sahara Desert in 1960-1966. The unattributed report was apparently written by one or several military officers in 1998, after nuclear tests were officially prohibited by then-French President Jacques Chirac. According to the report, the experiments, intended to study the possibility of carrying out offensive and defensive operations in a contaminated area, involved some 300 infantrymen and tank crews, the paper said. The French military authorities reportedly intended to "study the physical and psychological effect of nuclear weapons on humans." The report said that on April 25, 1961, the soldiers were ordered to go on foot toward the site of a nuclear explosion 20 minutes after detonation. They covered 2 kilometers (1.24 miles), observed the destruction caused by the explosion from a distance of 1.1 kilometers (0.7 miles) and stopped some 0.7 kilometers (0.43 miles) away from the explosion's epicenter. An hour after the blast, a vehicle patrol was ordered to carry out a raid to "point zero." They stopped just 275 meters (900 feet) away from the epicenter. The experiments showed the soldiers were "able to continue fighting as they did not suffer serious moral harm," the report said. The conclusion was that in case of war, a direct nuclear strike would be needed to disable the enemy. French Defense Minister Herve Morin did not comment on the report, saying he was unaware of it. He also pointed to a French law which stipulates compensation for victims of nuclear tests. In March 2009, Morin said his ministry would spend some 10 million euros ($13.6 million) annually on compensation for victims of nuclear experiments, which were carried out in 1960-1966 in Algeria's Sahara Desert and in Polynesian islands and involved some 150 French servicemen. According to media reports, the tests affected some 2,000 Polynesian residents, including 600 children under the age of 15. PARIS, February 16 (RIA Novosti) |

‘Covert’ surveillance cameras coming to Chicago  Blue-light surveillance cameras such as these one day will be replaced by units so small they would be able to fit inside a match box. (Brian Jackson/Sun-Times) Blue-light surveillance cameras in Chicago's high-crime neighborhoods will someday be augmented by "covert" cameras that "fit inside of a match box" and keep the bad guys guessing, Police Supt. Jody Weis said. Now that crime-ravaged communities have been saturated with hundreds of blue-light cameras, Weis says it's time to take Big Brother technology to "the next level." That means surveillance cameras similar to the hidden cameras used to snare corrupt politicians. Are Sobriety Checkpoints Police Profit Centers? An investigation by the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley with California Watch has found that impounds at checkpoints in 2009 generated an estimated $40 million in towing fees and police fines—revenue that cities divide with towing firms.

 WEB BOT Clif High HalfPastHuman.com |
George Ure's UrbanSurvival.com this Tuesday morning: Web Bot Run We continue picking up snips and bits of data now that Cliff's web bot spiders are running data which will result in a new forecast out of the 'rickety time machine' somewhere around March 21 (plus or minus a few days). There's an interesting snip or two already - about how a new book due for release shortly will reveal that about 20% of the earth's land is owned by something like 26 people. That -<--- right there - is what happens when globalists get more money than sense, but who ever said humanity had to be connected with wealth OR claims of dominance over indigenous people? But back to point: We've been watching for 'swine flu' jitter to pop out temporally along around Winter Olympics time and look here: "Swine Flu outbreak Threatens at World Cup" says a NT Times report. Coupled with the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain) of Eurozone financial concerns and I'm beginning to wonder "Were the linguistics right and our interpretation of the data - wrong???" More insights come March. Although economic calamity is due long before then, which is why I'll probably enter short positions this week, depending on how the rally goes. |
 UFO NEWS |
| Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) UFO Database Photo of possible UFO abducting wildlife in Ukraine surfaces  Allnewsweb.com - 1 hour ago UFOs are being blamed for the mysterious disappearance of animals from a Russian wildlife sanctuary. The Aksania-Nova wildlife reserve in Southern Ukraine is famous for the large number of animal species, mostly non-native, that live within its boundaries. Lately, however, employees have noticed that a number of animals have vanished from the reserve without a trace. Every year thousands of tourists visit the sanctuary and enjoy the unspoilt scenery and chance to observe bison, zebra, ostrich and other inhabitants at close range. Recently one such tourist took a photo of a herd of wild Przewalski horses. On developing the picture he noticed an odd object or UFO hovering just above the horses. The photographer handed the picture over to the park management who contacted Ukrainian ufologist Vladimir Kanuka. Mr Kanuka declared that the photo(above) does indeed show an alien or extraterrestrial craft. Mr Kanuka also suspects that this UFO might be connected with the animal disappearances. Others are not convinced. Alexander Mezinova, the park's head zoologist doubts UFOs are the problem and places the blame for the disappearances on poachers. Source: Pravda Ukraine |
