World War 3: Qatar joins Saudi Arabia in buying hundreds of German Leopard tanks

29 July 2012, Germany’s Der Spiegel reporting that the Arabian Peninsula country of Qatar offered Germany’s Krauss-Maffei Wegmann $2.46 billion USD for 200 of their latest Leopard main battle tanks (MBT).

A month ago it was revealed that Saudi Arabia was buying 800 Leopard 2A7 tanks, despite many German politicians pointing out that the sale violated Germany’s constitution.  Angela Merkel’s government dismissed such claims, and some politicians said the sale was needed to support Germany’s shrinking economy.

The latest Der Spiegel article says Qatari officials made the offer weeks ago.  Qatar is supporting the invasion of Syria, and was one of the main Arab supporters of the western backed insurgency in Libya.

Angela Merkel’s secretive Federal Security Council has final say regarding such a sale to Qatar, and Der Spiegel says it’s likely it will be approved.

World War 3: Turkey establishes command & control base for the invasion of Syria, Poland closes embassy!

27 July 2012, among warmongering reports from U.S. mainstream media, Poland announces that it has closed its embassy in Syria and is evacuating all Polish nationals!

Up to this point it was the Polish embassy that was acting as the diplomatic representative for the United States.

Reuters is reporting that an unnamed source in Qatar claims that Turkey, a member of U.S. led NATO, has established a command and control base for the invasion of Syria.

The base is located 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of the Syrian border: “It’s the Turks who are militarily controlling it. Turkey is the main coordinator/facilitator. Think of a triangle, with Turkey at the top and Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the bottom.”-unnamed official from Doha, Qatar

The unnamed official also said: “Three governments are supplying weapons: Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.” And added: “All weapons are from the black market.”

Qatar played a major role in the western war against Libya.

On 24 July 2012, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said: “I have to say that we are also increasing our efforts to assist the opposition.”

LIBOR: EU to make rate fixing a crime. Rate fixing scandal an excuse to create One World Bank! New CIBOR scandal!

26 July 2012, the European Union’s European Commission is asking its members to pass a new law making currency and interest rate manipulation a crime.

The scandal involves mainly U.S. and British Too Big to Fail banks and the British based LIBOR, Belgium based EURIBOR and Japan based TIBOR systems.  Recently it was revealed that such systems are also being used to help elites hide $20 trillion USD worth of wealth from tax collectors.

In Denmark, the Danish government is wrapping up their investigation into their own CIBOR system.  Officials running the Copenhagen Interbank Offered Rate are suspected of setting rates unjustifiably higher than the EURIBOR.

The Wall Street Journal recently said the scandal “…could lead to a new system of calculating a benchmark…”

Too Big to Fail Morgan Stanley is asking British officials to put the Bank of England in direct control of LIBOR.

Also, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, stated he will be reviewing the proposed introduction of a new global rate system that will replace current LIBOR like systems.

The rate fixing scandal involves banks in North America, Europe and Japan (the regional members of the Trilateral Commission).

What Economic Recovery? Sales up, yet profits down for Nissan. Sales & profits down for Ford!

26 July 2012, Japan’s Nissan Motor has reported an increase in sales for the April to June quarter, but decreased profits.

Nissan officials said sales were up in China and North America, but, because of the rising value of the Japanese yen, and increasingly stiff competition, the overall profits fell 19.7%.  Their profit was still a hefty $1.5 billion USD (oh those greedy stockholders)!

Nissan said the only way they can keep profits up is to send more of their Japanese production to other countries, and use parts made in countries where the money is worth less than the yen.  Of course, this means more job losses in Japan!

U.S. based Ford also reported down profits, by 57%!  Ford, a much bigger company than Nissan, made about the same profit as their Japanese competitor, but Ford’s profit loss is tied directly to decreased sales worldwide.

Officials with Ford said they lost money big time in Europe, where the iconic car company saw a 15% drop in sales, losing more than $400 million USD.  They also lost sales in Asia, and profits were down in South America.

Ford expects that by the end of the year they will lose more than $1 billion USD because of the European crisis!

What Economic Recovery? Britain in worst double dip recession ever, blame the Queen!

“It is clear that Britain is in the midst of the most prolonged period of stagnation it has faced in decades.”-John Longworth, British Chambers of Commerce

25 July 2012, Office for National Statistics announced another drop in GDP, for the third month in a row, officially putting the United Kingdom back into a recession.

U.K. economic performance data started being recorded in 1955, and the current situation is worse than anything on official record!

Officials with the Office for National Statistics are still adding up the costs of celebrating the queen’s Diamond Jubilee, but are already calling it a “significant hit” to the British economy.  Any public event involving the Royals is paid for by the government/taxpayers.

Some analysts say the Diamond Jubilee celebration actually stopped any economic recovery in Britain.

“They [government leaders] need to change course as their policies are causing permanent damage to our economy.”-Brendan Barber, Trades Union Congress

World War 3: Trilateral Commission advances; United States, European Union & Japan to go it alone against Syria, no longer working through United Nations!

25 July 2012, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States will no longer use the United Nations Security Council, instead it has formed an alliance with the Arab League and the new French led group called Friends of Syria (which is made up of the European Union and Japan).

Clinton also said that the U.S. no longer cares what Russia and China thinks, saying their concerns are now “on the far backburner” as far as the U.S. is concerned.

Back on 06 July 2012, Clinton told the Friends of Syria they needed to stand up to Russia and China in order to make sure “…that Russia and China will pay a price.”

Now the United States has joined the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in officially announcing they will increase support for rebels, however Clinton did not go into details.

Note that this new alliance is made up mainly of the EU, Japan and North America, who are the regional members of the Trilateral Commission (the true shadow government).

Evil Elites: $20 trillion stolen away and hoarded by Global Elites, that’s why the economy sucks! Money hoarding causes poverty, destroys economies, is a threat to National Security!!! Too Big to Fails & LIBOR involved!

“These estimates reveal a staggering failure: inequality is much, much worse than official statistics show, but politicians are still relying on trickle down to transfer wealth to poorer people. People on the street have no illusions about how unfair the situation has become.”-John Christensen, Tax Justice Network

According to a recent report by the Tax Justice Network (established by the British Houses of Parliament in 2003), the reason for the lack of money in the failing western economies, is that the elites are hording it, to the tune of $12.5 trillion to $20 trillion USD (that’s according to data from the world’s top 50 banks)!!!

Wealth is finite, there is not enough for everyone, money does not grow on trees!  But, the only way an economy works well is if that money/wealth is in circulation, being spent to buy services and products. That’s why some incompetent economists and analysts have been lambasting the working class consumers for not spending more money.

Most working class consumers are broke, they operate on credit/debt if they still have it, and more and more the governments of the United States and United Kingdom are criminalizing the use of cash (which most people don’t have much of anyway).

Most U.S. corporations are broke, they’ve been operating on debt.  They even pay their employees with payroll loans from the Too Big to Fail banks!  Governments are broke, cutting services and raising tax rates in the hopes they can squeeze more out of the working class! So where is the money?

Between 2005 and 2010, the elites managed to hide away, in plain sight using the help of the Too Big to Fails, trillions in untaxed revenues using offshore accounts, and other tricks, by the top 50 international banks.

Notice this is during the same time period of the Credit Crisis/Crunch, and first recessions of the U.S. and Europe! This is evidence that the credit crisis is really  caused by elites siphoning as much as $20 trillion out of the Circular Money Flow, with the effect of literally hitting the brakes on the western economies!

This should be considered a National Security Threat!  The elites are economic terrorists!

The Tax Justice Network explains how the elites get away with their cash hording.   This latest report suggests that the true percentage of world elites is only 0.001%!!!

Here’s a list of the top 10 banks involved, see if you recognize any: UBS, Credit Suisse, HSBC, Deutche Bank, BNP Paribas, JP MorganChase, Morgan Stanely/SSB, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Pitchet.

Note that these banks are also being investigated for the international currency/interest rate fixing scandal involving LIBOR, TIBOR and EURIBOR!

It’s time the people of the western economies stand up and demand their crony capitalist lap dog politicians, and their crony capitalists leaders to “Show us the money!!!”

World War 3: Syrian government warns of clone TV news reports. Arab League tries to shut down Syrian TV, same thing happened in Libya!

22 July 2012, Syria’s Information Ministry claims that U.S., European, Arab and Israeli agencies are cloning Syrian TV stations, for the purpose of presenting false news reports.

Syrian officials say already one TV station has been cloned, right down to the TV station’s logo and patriotic music.

The Arab League has repeatedly asked Arab satellite TV service providers to stop airing Syrian programs.  The Arab League managed to cut off Libyan TV shortly before U.S./European backed rebels murdered Gaddafi.

World War 3: Turkey helping Al Qaeda get into Syria! More proof Al Qaeda is a tool of the United States!

22 July 2012, a rebel group claims to have taken a third Syrian controlled border crossing with Turkey.

But as thousands of Syrians flee the fighting, there are reports that hundreds of al Qaeda fighters are streaming in to help the U.S./Israeli/Saudi backed rebels!

Most are coming in through the rebel captured border crossings with NATO member Turkey.

Regional reports say the al Qaeda fighters are coming from the French puppet Algeria, the Russian puppet Chechnya, the U.S. puppet Egypt and the U.S. ally Saudi Arabia.

Just want to remind everyone in the United States that 15 of the 19 hijackers on 11 September 2001, came from Saudi Arabia, not from Afghanistan, not from Iraq, not from Libya, not from Syria and not from Iran (in fact none of the attackers were from those countries).

So who’s side is your government really on?

The U.S. based World Bank’s (World Bank HQ is in Washington DC) International Development Association announced they are giving Afghanistan $125 million USD for road development projects (called Afghanistan Rural Access Project).  That’s right they’re giving the money away, it’s not a loan!

A British officer with NATO has admitted that efforts to bribe Mujahideen have failed: “Has it made a dent in terms of a nationwide perspective? Probably not. Is it having an effect across the whole of Afghanistan in what I would think of in military and strategic terms? No.”-Major General David Hook, Force Reintegration Cell (military term for the bribery operation)

The Force Reintegration Cell (started at the end of 2010) basically bribes Mujahideen to stop fighting.  They’re offered $360 USD every three months, which is a hella lot o’money in Afghanistan!  Apparently the Mujahideen have higher standards!

Evil British Empire has returned 600 archaeological items to the National Museum of Afghanistan.  What is interesting is that the items were stolen in the 1990s, and yet somehow ended up in the United Kingdom.  But this is not the first time the British returned stolen goods.  In 2009 as many as 2,000 historical items were returned to Afghanistan!

Also, since 2007  the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has helped to return 9,000 stolen Afghan artifacts!
