Republic of Ireland back under the control of the British Empire

For the first time since the creation of the Republic of Ireland, royalty from the British empire has set foot on the island nation.  Queen Elizabeth II is in Ireland.

The government of Ireland has gone to great lengths to provide security for the queen’s visit.  The security is not to protect against outside attacks, like maybe from al-Qeada, but to protect the queen from the Irish people.

Already hundreds of Irish have demonstrated their disgust with a visit from their mortal enemy, a royal member of the British empire.  Even the Irish military has been called out to provide the queen protection.  That is a sure sign that the Republic has slipped back into the hands of the English (just like when Bush Jr paid a visit to the queen during his reign as U.S. President, the first time for a U.S. President).

Why is the queen in Ireland?  Officially it’s to “visit” and “pay respects” to those Irish who died fighting for their freedom.  Yeah, and who were they fighting against?  Elizabeth’s grandmammy and grandpappy’s empire, that’s who!  The real reason has to do with deals made in the Northern Ireland peace agreement, and the fact that a pro-empire political party has gained power in the Irish government.

But despite the tiny group of bought off Irish turncoats who’ve gained power in politics, most Irish still hate the English.  A recent poll showed Irish interest in anything to do with royalty hit an all time record low, with the recent royal wedding.

An Irish university professor pointed out that it’s not just British royalty the Irish hate, it’s any royalty: “The King of Denmark could arrive and no one would care – it’s the same thing.”-Gerard Casey, University College Dublin

It’s interesting timing that President Barak Obama will visit Ireland after the queen leaves.  Most Irish say they can’t wait for that visit (oh well, if they only knew).

Obama’s plan to increase oil drilling is not for bringing down gas prices, but to profit off high oil prices

Many U.S. media reports about President Obama’s push to increase U.S. oil production, blame it on the people’s demand for lower gas prices.

The problem with that argument is that world demand for oil products is so high that even if the U.S. can increase oil production, it will never be able to increase it enough to bring down prices.  That means the real reason for increasing U.S. oil production is to take advantage of high oil prices.

Is it possible that Obama is going back on his clean energy promise, because the United States is in so much debt, that he’s had to make a deal with the oil companies to give them access to oil rich areas, in exchange for bailing out the U.S. government?

Obama to announce new Middle East Policy

Israeli media reporting that U.S. President Barack Obama will announce a new U.S. Middle East policy, before his visit with the Israeli Prime Minister next week.

Reports say Obama’s new policy is in response to the drastic changes taking place in the Middle East, and North Africa.

When Obama became President he made promises about peace between Israel and Palestine, but some Israeli analysts say he failed to keep that promise. Any new policy he comes up with, they think will fall short:  “…will lay out some very well known parameters and call in the parties to negotiate, but it won’t be a full blown plan.”-Dr. Jonathan Rynhold, Bar-Ilan University

Wall Street deliberately “Crashes the System” to control the government

“Anytime Obama tries to put forward a policy to reform the system, or to do something for increasing wages, Wall Street crashes the sytem.”-Max Kaiser, former stock broker

Ever wonder why the stock markets suddenly drop, for no apparent reason, or for very weak reasons?  Max Kaiser, a former stock broker, says it’s a sign that the United States is being manipulated by corporate America.

The reason that Wall Street wants to control the government, and the Federal Reserve, is to keep interest rates near zero, so corporations, and big speculators, can keep borrowing on the cheap.

“The cost for borrowing for hedge funds and players on Wall Street is actually negative 2% when you factor in all the subsidies, and give aways that the Obama administration has given the banking industry.”-Max Kaiser

If Kaiser is correct, then it means that corporate America is making money just by borrowing money.

U.S. nuclear plant under NRC scrutiny

The Brown’s Ferry nuke plant in Alabama, is under investigation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  Investigators say a cooling system failure is of “high safety significance”.

Last October the plant had a cooling valve problem, in reactor 1, that cause it to shut down.  Operators say the valve is fixed.  But there are concerns especially since the Brown’s Ferry plant is similar to the GE designed Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan.

Also, Brown’s Ferry Reactor 1 had been shut down for 22 years before being put back into operation in 2007.

Iran says has proof Osama bin Laden died years ago, did U.S. kill bin Laden relative?

“If the U.S. military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed bin Laden, why don’t they shown him (his dead body), why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?”-Heidar Moslehi, Iran’s Intelligence Minister

Iran’s Intelligence Minister, Heidar Moslehi, claims Osama bin Laden died from disease years ago.  Pakistani officials made a similar claim a few years ago.

Moslehi goes on explaining that the U.S. claimed that it was following Islamic law, when they dumped bin Laden’s body, but Islamic law does not approve of burial at sea, and does not have a specific timeline for burial.  He says this is a sign that the Obama Administration is lying about what they did with Osama bin Laden.

Moslehi says the claim by Obama that their DNA evidence is proof, is weak, because they are not giving details of the DNA process.  Also, it’s possible to get a 99.9% match through any close relative of Osama bin Laden, and the bin Laden family is big.

A University of California criminology professor points out that DNA testing is not that reliable: “If the DNA test compared the profile of the man shot in Pakistan with members of bin Laden’s family members, the results could properly be presented only as a likelihood ratio…”-William thompson, UCI In other words, DNA will not provide the actual identity of an individual, only a probability.  Is it possible the U.S. assassinated a close relative of Osama bin Laden?

Even though Iranian officials criticize the Obama Administration for weak evidence, Iran has not produced evidence for their claim that Osama bin Laden died years ago.

Iran claims U.S. and Israel smuggling Crack & Meth into Iran from Afghanistan

Iranian investigator Majid Abhari, says he has proof that drugs being brought into Iran, through Afghanistan, are being run by the CIA and Mossad.  He has some convincing evidence.

First, traditionally opium, and marijuana/hash, were the drugs that came through.  Now, Iranian drug police are confiscating morphine, crack and meth.  Those drugs are considered “western” drugs and are not normally used by addicts in the region.

Second, Iranian police have discovered that transactions connected to the “western” drugs are being made with credit cards.  Traditional drug dealers operate “cash only” businesses.

Iran claims to be the most active anti-drug enforcers in the world.  Last year they seized 85% of the world’s illegal opium.  In the past five years Iran has spent $50 million to fight drug trafficking from just Afghanistan.  Iran also claims thousands of their anti-drug police have been killed.

Iranian police say drug trafficking from Afghanistan has jumped 40 times higher after the U.S. invaded .  According to the UN, Afghan opium production was at 185 metric tons (204 U.S. tons) per year, before the U.S. invaded.  The United Nations says opium production is now at 3,400 tons (3748 U.S. tons) per year (in 2007 it hit a record of 8,200 metric tons [9039 U.S. tons]).

Iran should know how the CIA and Mossad operates, after all, during the reign of the pro-U.S. Shah the CIA, and Mossad, trained Iran’s intelligence agencies (especially the infamous SAVAK).

From the grave: Benazir Bhutto says Osama bin Laden assassinated years ago

“Yes but one of them is a very key figure in security, he is a former military officer … and had dealings with Omar Sheikh, the man who murdered Osama Bin Laden.“-Pakistani Premier Benazir Bhutto, 2007 interview by David Frost

More questions about President Obama’s claims that Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011.

In an old 2007 interview, former U.S. ally, and former Pakistani Premier Benazir Bhutto, said Osama bin Laden was assassinated by a man named Omar Sheikh.  She was explaining that a failed October 2007 assassination attempt on her life could have been carried out by “…Omar Sheikh, the man who murdered Osama bin Laden.”

She also mentioned that bin Laden’s son could have been behind the attempt on her life.  Bhutto was assassinated in December 2007.

Osama bin Laden buried at sea, why? Official says following Islamic Law. Bullsh*t NO SUCH LAW

John Brennan, homeland security and counter terrorism adviser to President Obama, says Osama bin Laden’s body was hastily buried at sea, after the Sunday special military operation that supposedly killed him.

Why?  Does the United States have a new policy of burying at sea any enemy of the state?  Anyone watching the Sunday night U.S. media frenzy about the supposed killing, should remember how journalists were sure bin Laden’s body would be shown, as other bodies had been shown.

The U.S. government says they were trying to follow Islamic Law, which says a body should be buried at sea within 24 hours of death.  Since when did the U.S. government start following Islamic Law!?  Not only that, but ask any Muslim and there is no such law, someone is full of sh*t!

I checked, and it is against Islamic Law to bury a Muslim at sea!  Muslims must be buried in the ground!

Also, more lies, U.S. media reported that the Pakistani government was involved, but there are reports coming out of Pakistan that say otherwise.  President Obama said in his Sunday night announcement that Pakistan was informed, but a U.S. official counters that saying: “We shared this intelligence on the compound with no other country, including Pakistan.”

Obama ready to change line up, the result will not change much

There are rumors that President Barack Obama is ready to change his military and national security staff.

Current Defense Secretary Robert Gates wants to leave.  He could be replaced by current CIA chief Leon Panetta.   The position of chief of the CIA could go to current Army General David Petraeus, who is about to finish his tour of duty in Afghanistan.  Petraeus’ old job, Commander of Coalition Forces in Afghanistan, could go to Marine Lieutenant General John R. Allen.

There seems to be a clear pattern of ladder climbing.  Obama is expected to name a new ambassador to Afghanistan, someone who is from the Bush Jr camp (as is Robert Gates); Ryan C. Crocker.

Crocker has lots of experience being an ambassador.  Obama even gave him the highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  Crocker is currently the dean of the Bush School of Government and Public Service.  Guess who else was dean of that school?  Current Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

So even with all the staffing changes there might not be much change to U.S. foreign policy.
