US Government Admits that Israel is arming, funding, and supporting Terrorists!

unbelievable a Jewish journalists suggests that the Israeli mossad assassinate any US President that does not bow before Israel.  Where is the Secret Service?

The report is very interesting

This is an excellent example of the Corporate Communism that is destroying this nation. Corporate raiders like Romney came to my home town - Park Falls, WI via Smart Papers and did the exact same thing. These people are not capitalists - they are communists actively destroying the property owning middle class - if there is one thing that communists hate it is private property. This is why Communists hate unions and seek to gain control of them so that they can destroy them. Unions give workers a voice and hence a decent living wage and allow for a middle class of property owners. Wake Up America - the neo cons are no different than the democrats!

The truth about the Federal Reserve Bank within a New York Times article:

Fed Turns Over $77 Billion in Profits to the Treasury

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/11/business/economy/fed-returns-77-billion-in-profits-to-treasury.html


WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve said on Tuesday that it contributed $76.9 billion in profits to the Treasury Department last year, slightly less than its record 2010 transfer but much more than in any other previous year.

The Fed is required by law to turn over its profits to the Treasury each year, a highly lucrative byproduct of the central bank’s continuing campaign to stimulate economic growth.

Almost 97 percent of the Fed’s income was generated by interest payments on its investment portfolio, including $2.5 trillion in Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities, which it has amassed in an effort to decrease borrowing costs for businesses and consumers by reducing long-term interest rates.

Through those purchases, the central bank has become the largest single investor in federal debt and securities issued by the government-owned mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As a consequence, most of the money flowing into the Fed’s coffers comes from taxpayers.

But Fed officials note that this cycle — payments flowing from Treasury to the Fed and then back to the Treasury — still saves money for taxpayers because those interest payments otherwise would be made to other investors.

“It’s interest that the Treasury didn’t have to pay to the Chinese,” the Fed’s chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, half-jokingly told Congress last year.

The scale of the transfers grew rapidly after the financial crisis.

The Fed made an average annual contribution to the Treasury Department of $23 billion during the five years preceding the crisis. In the years since 2007, the Fed’s average contribution has more than doubled to $54 billion.

The Fed transferred $79.3 billion in 2010. Its investment portfolio grew again in 2011, approaching $3 trillion, but profits fell modestly as the Fed reduced some more lucrative holdings, like its support for the insurance company American International Group, and expanded its holdings of low-yield government debt.

Notwithstanding its conservative investment portfolio, the central bank remains highly profitable because of its unique business model. Rather than paying for funding, it simply creates the money that it needs at no cost. The return on its investments, as a result, almost all flows directly to the bottom line.

Still, the model is not foolproof. The Fed could decide to undermine its own profitability if it concluded that the pace of inflation was increasing. Fed officials have said that they would respond to inflationary pressures through a combination of selling assets and raising short-term interest rates, which would have the effect of undercutting the value of those assets just as they were being sold. The
Fed also could conclude that it needed to pay higher interest rates to banks that keep reserves on deposit with the central bank, to discourage withdrawals of that money.

In addition to the money sent to the Treasury, the Fed spent $4.5 billion on its own operations, including its expanded role as a regulator of the largest financial companies. The 2010 law overhauling financial regulations also requires the Fed to provide funding for two new agencies, the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of Financial Research. The bill totaled $282 million last year. Other federal financial regulators are financed by the industries that they oversee. Both systems are intended to shelter regulators from political pressure.

The results reported Tuesday are preliminary. The 12 regional banks that compose the Federal Reserve system will publish final financial results in a few months. If there is a change in estimated profits, the Fed will adjust the amounts that it pays to the Treasury this year. The contributions are made weekly.

This is how it works - the Federal Reserve Bank - a PRIVATE business, run by Zionist Jews, prints money out of thin air and then loans it to our Government with interest.  Every dollar in this nation - every dollar in your pocket is paid to the federal reserve bank with INTEREST.  This is why the federal deficit will never get smaller and continue to grow.  All these neo-cons keep screaming about lower pay for federal workers and cutting government programs to reduce the debt - but you could get rid of every program and employee of the federal government including the military - and the deficit would still continue to grow and it could never be paid down because every dollar used to pay it down has interest attached to it!  This is a Ponzi scheme of the highest order!

17 Facts About The Decline Of The U.S. Auto Industry That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/17-facts-about-the-decline-of-the-u-s-auto-industry-that-are-almost-too-crazy-to-believe

Very few things illustrate how dramatically America has been deindustrialized than the stunning decline of the U.S. auto industry. Once upon a time, the United States literally taught the rest of the world how to make cars. We were the ones that invented the assembly line. We were the ones that showed the rest of the world what mass production could do for an economy. For decades, we produced more cars than anyone else and we sold more cars than anyone else. Detroit was known as "the Motor City" and our manufacturing prowess dominated the planet. But now all of that has changed. Japan makes far more vehicles than we do today. So does Germany. As you read this, state of the art production facilities are going up all over China. Meanwhile, the U.S. auto industry continues to rot and thousands upon thousands of good automotive jobs continue to leave our shores. The rest of the world is making cars better than we are, they are making them cheaper than we are and they really don't care that many of our formerly great manufacturing cities are turning into rotting, stinking hellholes. The U.S. auto industry was once a symbol of American dominance, but now it is just a symbol of American decline. If we want to remain a great nation, then we need to start becoming great at making things once again.

The following are 17 facts about the decline of the U.S. auto industry that are almost too crazy to believe....

#1 The average age of an automobile in the United States has gone up more than 50% since 1990 and is now sitting at an all-time record of 10.8 years. The average length of a marriage in the United States that ends in divorce is only 8 years.

#2 Germany made 5.5 million cars in 2010. The United States made less than half that (2.7 million).

#3 When you add up salary and benefits, the average auto worker in Germany makes $67.14 an hour. In the United States, auto workers only make $33.77 an hour in salary and benefits.

#4 Back in 2000, about 17 million new automobiles were sold in the United States. During 2011, less than 13 million new automobiles were sold in the United States.

#5 Do you remember when the United States was the dominant manufacturer of automobiles and trucks on the globe? Well, in 2010 the U.S. ran a trade deficit in automobiles, trucks and parts with the rest of the world of $110 billion.

#6 Japan builds more cars than anyone else on the globe. Japan now manufactures about 5 million more automobiles than the United States does.

#7 In 2010, South Korea exported approximately 12 times as many automobiles to us as we exported to them.

#8 According to the New York Times, a Jeep Grand Cherokee that costs $27,490 in the United States costs about $85,000 in China thanks to new tariffs.

#9 U.S. car companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars building shiny new automobile factories in China.

#10 In 1970, General Motors had about a 60 percent share of the U.S. automobile market. Today, that figure is down to about 20 percent.

#11 The combined U.S. market share of the "Big Three" American car companies fell from 70% in 1998 to 53% in 2008.

#12 Detroit was once known as the "Motor City", but in recent decades automobile production has been leaving Detroit at a staggering pace. One analysis of census figures found that 48.5% of all men living in Detroit from age 20 to age 64 did not have a job during 2008.

#13 Today, only Chrysler still operates an automobile assembly line within Detroit city limits.

#14 Since Alan Mulally became CEO of Ford, the company has reduced its North American workforce by nearly half.

#15 Today, only about 40 percent of Ford's 178,000 workers are employed in North America, and a significant portion of those jobs are in Canada and Mexico.

#16 The average Mexican auto worker brings in less than a tenth of the total compensation that a U.S. auto worker makes.

#17 In the year 2000, the U.S. auto industry employed more than 1.3 million Americans. Today, the U.S. auto industry employs about 698,000 people.

Sadly, it is not just the auto industry in America that is falling apart. In fact, almost everywhere you look in our economy (and in our society as a whole) there is decay and decline.
For example, our infrastructure was once the envy of the entire globe. Today, U.S. infrastructure is ranked 23rd.

Recently, I wrote an article entitled "24 Statistics To Show To Anyone Who Believes That America Has A Bright Economic Future". In that article, I discussed many of the long-term trends that are systematically destroying this nation.

Just because we have had it so good for so long does not mean that it will always be that way.

As a nation, our wealth is declining. A decade ago, the United States was ranked number one in average wealth per adult. By 2010, the United States had fallen to seventh.

We lived off the wealth created by previous generations for a long time, but that was not enough for us. We always wanted more. Eventually we started going into massive amounts of debt so that we could keep this bubble of "false prosperity" going.

Today, when you add up all forms of debt in America, it comes to over 50 trillion dollars.

We are a great nation that is in an accelerating state of decline.

We have got to quit living off of the past accomplishments of previous generations.

We have got to quit being so lazy and decadent and spoiled.

There is absolutely no guarantee that America will always be a great nation. In fact, when great nations fall, it usually happens very quickly.

I'm still proud to be an American, but the decay and the decline that I see all across this country sickens me.

And it should sicken you too.

Lets pray that this does not happen:

Millions were in germ war tests

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2002/apr/21/uk.medicalscience?CMP=twt_gu

Much of Britain was exposed to bacteria sprayed in secret trials

The Ministry of Defence turned large parts of the country into a giant laboratory to conduct a series of secret germ warfare tests on the public.
A government report just released provides for the first time a comprehensive official history of Britain's biological weapons trials between 1940 and 1979.
Many of these tests involved releasing potentially dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms over vast swaths of the population without the public being told...


Similar tests were done in California in the United States - but hey - trust your government - if you don't your a tin-foil cap wearing conspiracy not - because after all - there are no conspiracies and your government would never do anything to harm you!
