UK Taxpayers Face ANOTHER Multi- Billion Pound Banking Scam Bailout!

Taxpayers could have to spend billions bailing out the banks again after massive and unexpected losses were disclosed by Britain’s new superbank.

Shares in Lloyds Banking Group fell 32 per cent to 61.4p yesterday after it reported losses of £10 billion in HBOS, making it worth far less than thought when it was taken over in November.
The news, a huge embarrassment for Gordon Brown, who helped to broker the deal, triggered speculation that the bank will have to come back to the Government for more capital.

Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, defended his role in helping to push through the takeover, saying: “We had a matter of days and then hours to stop the entire banking system collapsing.”

See how darling uses the same old excuse of fear and panic if we hadn't have done it a tactic used by Bush( Patriot Act) and Obama with the present bailout.

US Economic Stimulus Bill Mandates Nearly a Billion Dollars for Vaccinations

While the Obama administration is attempting to pass the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 in a hurry, NaturalNews readers have begun actually reading the bill, and they're finding some worrying language that should raise concern among people interested in preserving health freedom and protecting the health of all Americans.

Specifically, one section of the economic stimulus bill designates nearly a billion dollars for new vaccinations of children.

Pope Confirms Jewish 'Reign by Guilt' Lives On

His comments were his strongest condemnation yet following a row involving a British bishop who questioned the details of the Nazis' extermination of the Jews.

The Pope told Jewish leaders visiting the Vatican that it was unacceptable for anyone, but especially a priest, to deny the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jews during the Second World War.
Benedict repeated a prayer recited by John Paul II in Jerusalem in March 2000, in which his predecessor had asked for "forgiveness" for the past persecution of Jews by Christians.

Pope Benedict said: "I now make his prayer my own."

Obama's Wealth Destruction

President Obama is under the impression that history owes him $1 trillion right now to spend on whatever he wants. His language is strident and full of irritation that anyone would question his right to live out his personal dream of being Franklin Roosevelt to George Bush's Hoover. This, he says, is what the election was all about.

The arrogance reminds me of George Bush after 9-11, who similarly believed that history owed him a gargantuan war in the tradition of FDR. And look how that arrogance led to disgrace and loss, as he unwittingly presided over the destruction of American prosperity while searching for bugbears abroad.

US Intel Confirms Iran Not Developing Nukes

Dennis Blair told the Senate Intelligence Committee that his organization has assessed that Tehran does not have nuclear weapons design and weaponization work. A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), issued in November 2007 by the sixteen US intelligence agencies, clarified that Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapons program. The 2007 intelligence report was widely seen as a setback for Bush administration efforts to pressure Iran and halt its nuclear program.

Compare this with the report by Obama nominee CIA director Panetta who claims they are developing nukes and watch the main stream media climb aboard with Panetta and totally disregard any mention of Blair's testimony and the Intel report.

Eastern Partnership: The West's Final Assault On Former Soviet Union

At a meeting of the European Union's General Affairs and External Relations Council in Brussels on May 26 of last year, Poland, seconded by Sweden, first proposed what has come to be known as the Eastern Partnership, a program to 'integrate' all the European and South Caucasus former Soviet nations - except for Russia - not already in the EU and NATO; that is, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

US Drone Attacks Originate in Pakistan

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said that the unmanned US air force drones operating in Pakistan are flown from an air base inside the country, a Press TV correspondent reported.

"As I understand it, these are flown out of a Pakistani base," she said at a hearing for Dennis Blair, the new director of national intelligence on Friday.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) declined to comment, but former US intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, confirmed that Feinstein's account was accurate.

Kymatica: The Follow up to Esoteric Agenda

The Strawman Illusion

Launch of The Dot Connector Magazine

Something is wrong with this world... But you know that! You always knew it, otherwise you wouldn't be reading these lines. You knew something was wrong, and you wanted to know what exactly. Press, television, and then internet, never lacked explanations, analyses, indications, telling you that the System is damaged, that there are elements to replace, to repair, to improve. And they have been replaced, and repaired, and improved. Over and over again. Over and over — in vain... OK, nothing's perfect, you used to say. But one day you noticed something strange: the System improved, but — not the world. That was the day you saw that the System and the world are not the same thing. That was the day you woke up.

You have woken up, but still cannot see what exactly is wrong with the world. Because nothing has ever been wrong with the real world. What's wrong is the virtual world, like the wool pulled over your eyes by the System to blind you. The more you invest yourself, your forces and talents, into repairing and improving that virtual world, the more you improve the System, the more you help it to better blind and enslave you.

The System is not a kind of divine superpower. It is neither above you nor elsewhere outside of you — it is inside ... well, not of you, but of what it made you believe you are. It made you believe your body is all there is of you here, in this world. "Which world?" you may ask. We hope you do! Because the System is right: in its virtual, blinding, enslaving, fake world you are nothing but flesh and bones. But in the real world you are infinitely more than that! Not a mortal human, but an immortal Universal being.

Look, it's just logical. As human beings, we need a spacesuit to stay alive outside our planet. As Universal beings, we need a similar sort of "earthsuit" to experience a journey called "life" on the planet Earth. Our bodies are such "earthsuits".

As any example, this comparison is rough and limited, but it still shows the distance between feeling the false (waking up) and becoming aware of what's true. What's true is that there is no more difference between you and the world around you than between a single drop of water in the ocean and the ocean itself as a whole.

An even better example would be that of a hologram. Most of you know what one is. No matter how many parts a holographic picture is broken into, even the smallest part of it will still contain the whole picture down to the smallest detail. It's as if every page of every book in every library in the world contained all the pages of all the books of all libraries.

What does it all have to do with the System, the Illuminati, the New World Order, wars, politics and you? Absolutely everything. Not only such a "holographic" vision of the world and of ourselves allows us to see what is called "the Big Picture", it allows to recognize this Big Picture in every smallest "dot" of it, however insignificant and separate from other "dots" it might seem, and to see your reflection in it.

So, since you've woken up, it's time to hit the road. We don't promise this road to be an easy one. We don't promise you'll appreciate every step of it. We just promise this road will lead you to the truth.

GPs to Get Bonuses for Giving Teenagers Contraceptive Implants And Jabs Without Informing Parents

GPs will be paid bonuses for persuading teenagers to have long-lasting contraceptive implants and jabs without their parents' knowledge, it has emerged.

From next year, doctors are to receive the payments for encouraging young women to use long-acting methods of contraception rather than taking the Pill each day.

They will be pressed to tell those prescribed the morning-after pill that an injection or coil would be better to prevent pregnancies.

We Must Stop Being America's Poodles of War

What do you suppose is Britain's policy in Afghanistan - other than rolling over and asking the Americans for orders? Sit, stay, heel, fetch... something along those lines. Maybe followed by 'good boy' and a pat on the head.

Since the Afghanistan conflict has now lasted longer than World War II and shows no sign of resolution, it is reasonable to demand clarification.

The Government fires back the standard cliche, that we are there for 'nation-building'. It is a wonderful (and patronising) phrase. As one sceptic observed: 'Nation-building is a term created by people living off Pentagon contracts.'

Energy Experts to Visit Every Home to Help Them go Green

The mass energy audits will be part of the biggest overhaul of the housing stock since switching to gas central heating forty years ago.

"The Great British Refurb" will fit every home in need of insulation in the roof or walls by 2015. By 2030 every home will be offered a "whole house" green refurbishment, including fitting renewable heat technologies like ground source heat pumps and solar panels.

Launching a consultation on the scheme, Ed Miliband, the Energy and Climate Change Secretary, said teams of energy advisers would go around "house by house, street by street" to advise people how to improve their homes.

Loans would then be made available to pay for the new technologies, that can cost thousands of pounds.

School Receptionist Faces Sack After Five-year-old Daughter is Told Off For Talking About God

A school receptionist faces the sack after seeking the support of Christian friends when her five-year-old daughter was scolded for talking about God in class.
Jennie Cain's daughter Jasmine was ticked off by a teacher for discussing Heaven and Hell with a fellow pupil and came home in tears.
After comforting her distraught daughter, Mrs Cain, who works at the school, sent a private email to ten close Christian friends asking them to offer prayers for the families and the school.
But a copy fell into the hands of Gary Read, headmaster at Landscore Primary School, in Crediton, Devon.
Now Mrs Cain, 38, is being investigated for professional misconduct for allegedly making claims against the school and staff members. She may be disciplined and even faces dismissal.

The Flawed Theory Behind Vaccinations, and Why MMR Jabs Endanger Your Child's Health

Conventional medical doctors around the world (and the drug companies that support them) want all children to be vaccinated against measles, mumps, HPV, chicken pox and literally over a hundred other diseases. Bill Gates even supports the effort to "eradicate" disease from our planet by vaccinating people in developing nations. It all sounds like a noble goal, but like any such effort, it is based on an assumption. Upon closer inspection, that assumption turns out to be nothing more than blatant quacksterism hidden behind the technical jargon of modern medicine.

Militarizing Police Departments With Your Bail-out Money

If prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, then city mayors follow a very close second. In fact, it occurs to me they may be the spiritual offspring of the aforementioned liaisons. Whenever there is loose change or unclaimed dollar bills laying around, mayors can smell them a mile away and if a Sugar Daddy offers free cash, they never stop to question what the vigorish might be. The urban emperors, suburban commissars, the hack and the highbrow, the Republican and Democrat, the apolitical and amoral, the exurban apparatchiks all assemble to line dance down Pennsylvania Avenue like ladies of the evening on the way to a golden score with Big Daddy.

The United States Conference of Mayors has assembled the most ridiculous and repulsive example of government excess I think I have ever seen. Here is a PDF file of the document which stretches to 344 pages. One of the most alarming features of this civic gluttony is the gift list request for funds to buy military SWAT assault equipment for police forces like the examples offered here by Texas blogger and Reason.com contributor, Trey Garrison:

Can Obama Escape the Dominating Influence of AIPAC and the American Jewish/Zionist Israeli Lobby?

No one in Mainstream US media, is addressing the real problem which is, the fact that nothing contrary to Zionist, Israeli and American Jewish lobbies, AIPAC and other Pacs interests, which are all-dominating in the American political scene, will go very far. Anyone who supports such a move will have no tomorrow in American politics or business. They will be Finkelsteined to death by the Zionist assassins.

Comment by Michael Rivero

'
Apparently not.

Helen Thomas asked Obama a direct question at his first press conference. She asked him what nations in the Middle East have nuclear weapons right now.

Obama hemmed and hawed and made a statement about not allowing a nuclear arms race in the middle east, but avoided the question.

The reason is simple. Under US law it is illegal to give foreign aid to nations that have a nuclear capability operating outside international controls.

Israel, which is known to have a nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona, has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and does not allow IAEA inspectors to visit their facilities. Hence, under the Symington Amendment, it is illegal for the US to send Israel foreign aid.

So, by not answering the question, Obama has avoided being called a liar, and more to the point has proven that he intends to keep supplying Israel with OUR money and weapons, even though it is illegal for him to do so.

And, Obama has announced today that he "believes" Tehran wants to develop a nuclear bomb, despite the 2007 NIE in which the various US intelligence agencies unanimously concluded that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons.

So, the war is on, because Israel wants it.

Canada Becomes Israel

Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper's government publicly supported Israel's brutal assault on Gaza and voted alone at the UN Human Rights Committee in defense of Israel's actions three weeks ago. Now Canada has taken over Israeli diplomacy. Literally.

In solidarity with Gaza, Venezuela expelled Israel's ambassador at the start of the bombardment and then broke off all diplomatic relations two weeks later. Israel need not worry since Ottawa plans to help out. On 29 January, The Jerusalem Post reported that "Israel's interests in Caracas will now be represented by the Canadian Embassy."

This means Canada is officially Israel, at least in Venezuela.

Almost 700 Merrill Executives Paid $1m-plus Bonuses

Nearly 700 Merrill Lynch executives had cash bonuses of more than $1m each for last year, New York’s top law enforcement official disclosed on Wednesday.

Andrew Cuomo, New York’s attorney-general, called the bank’s decision to bring forward nearly $4bn of pay-outs a “surprising fit of corporate irresponsibility” that raised “serious and disturbing questions”.

Mr Cuomo said the bonuses for 2008 were “disproportionately distributed to a small number of individuals”, with the top four recipients taking in a combined $121m

Meet Labour's City Cronies: The Roll Call of Bankers Rewarded by Brown and Blair

Labour's intimate relationship with the financial industry has seen dozens of bankers given honours, appointed as ministers and given jobs on Government taskforces, reviews and quangos.
An analysis by the Daily Mail reveals that while ministers are now railing against the role of bankers in causing the economic crisis, they have spent the last decade cosying up to the industry.
Labour has given 23 bankers honours, brought three into the Government as ministers and involved 37 in commissions and advisory bodies.

State Secrets and Deciept - Obama Endorses CIA Torture

As predictably as night follows day, the Obama regime defended the CIA's practice of "extraordinary rendition" (kidnapping) of suspected "terrorists" to third countries where they are subject to "enhanced interrogation" (torture) by allied security services.

Binyam Mohamed and four other victims have charged that they were brutalized after being "disappeared" by CIA operatives and secretly flown to Egypt, Morocco, Afghanistan and eastern European CIA "black sites."

On Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas N. Letter argued before a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco that the "change" administration would press ahead with the Bush regime's odious invocation of the state secrets privilege to suppress a lawsuit brought by torture victims against Boeing subsidiary, San Jose, California-based Jeppesen DataPlan.

In a thinly-veiled threat to the Ninth Circuit, Letter told the Court according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "Judges shouldn't play with fire."

President Blair: Former PM Set to Become EU Chief as Sarkozy Battles to Win Him The Post

Tony Blair is poised to become the first President of Europe after it was confirmed that French leader Nicolas Sarkozy is determined to help him win the post.

A senior aide to President Sarkozy told a private gathering of senior British and French politicians that he is to tell fellow EU leaders that Mr Blair is the only man who can help Europe stand up to the rest of the world.

The remark by Alain Minc, a key member of Mr Sarkozy’s inner circle, is the second French blow to Gordon Brown’s standing in two days, coming after Mr Sarkozy said Mr Brown’s decision to combat the recession by cutting VAT was a ‘mistake’.

Miliband Covers Up Abuse Of Staff At British Embassy In Baghdad

David Miliband is criticised by a high-powered Commons committee today over claims that he "washed his hands" of alleged sexual abuse of Iraqi women at the British embassy in Baghdad.

The Foreign Affairs Select Committee demands to know why the Foreign Secretary had left an investigation into the claims to the same US firm that employed those accused of harassment. Amid claims that the firm's probe was inadequate, the MPs conducted their own 10-month investigation into allegations of a culture of sexual harassment and abuse at the British embassy inside the Green Zone in Baghdad.

The allegations, which are denied, were against British men working for KBR, the largest US contractor in Iraq.

But instead of increasing that spending, Eurocrats decided the solution was to set up a quango.

Speaker Michael Martin in Secrecy Row

The dispute erupted after Alda Barry, the Commons Registrar of Members' Interests, ruled that MPs should not have to declare details of trips they make abroad as guests of the British Council, a taxpayer-funded body.

Since February 2007, 12 MPs have travelled overseas with the British Council to destinations including Thailand, India and Malawi, often at a cost of thousands of pounds.

MPs must normally declare any hospitality they receive from outside organisations, and the British Council does not appear on a list of bodies whose gifts are exempt from the requirement.

When The Sunday Telegraph used the Freedom of Information Act to ask the Commons authorities why the trips were not being declared, Mr Martin stepped in and took the highly unusual step of signing a special certificate preventing the release of any information about how the decision was reached.

The document, headed 'The Certificate', cites Parliamentary privilege as the reason to impose secrecy. It even halts any further investigation by Richard Thomas, the Information Commissioner, who would normally have the power to intervene.

The Speaker's move to block information that campaigners claim should be in the public domain has been condemned by MPs as well as civil liberty advocates.

'Peer for Hire' Lord Truscott Grabs £70,000 Housing Perk

LORD TRUSCOTT, one of four peers named in the “lords for hire” scandal, has taken at least £70,000 in allowances for overnight accommodation in London while staying at his home in the capital.

Truscott, 49, now receives £28,000-a-year tax free by telling House of Lords’ authorities that his main residence is a modest flat in Bath, Somerset.

He uses the allowance to maintain a £700,000 flat he owns in Mayfair, central London, with his Russian wife, Svetlana. He bought the property in Bath months after becoming eligible to claim the allowance.

Spy Centre Will Track You On Holiday

THE government is building a secret database to track and hold the international travel records of all 60m Britons.

The intelligence centre will store names, addresses, telephone numbers, seat reservations, travel itineraries and credit card details for all 250m passenger movements in and out of the UK each year.

The computerised pattern of every individual’s travel history will be stored for up to 10 years, the Home Office admits.

The government says the new database, to be housed in an industrial estate in Wythenshawe, near Manchester, is essential in the fight against crime, illegal immigration and terrorism.

However, opposition MPs, privacy campaigners and some government officials fear it is a significant step towards a total surveillance society.

Government of the Banks, For the Banks, by the Banks

I thought America is supposed to be a "government of the People, by the People and for the People".

But the financial companies have been allowed to use taxpayer bailout funds to lobby Congress.
And the government's decisions about who to bail out and who not to fund are based on donations, lobbying and politics.

Giving trillions to the banks won't help the economy or the American people.

Indeed, the only thing it is doing is subsidizing companies run by horrible business men, allowing the bankers to receive fat bonuses, to redecorate their offices, and to buy gold toilets and prostitutes.

Lawmakers In 20 States Move to Reclaim Sovereignty

As the Obama administration attempts to push through Congress a nearly $1 trillion deficit spending plan that is weighted heavily toward advancing typically Democratic-supported social welfare programs, a rebellion against the growing dominance of federal control is beginning to spread at the state level.
So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.
Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania.

It is the first occasion since November that the President has deployed the massed ranks of his volunteers. His campaign machine, now calling itself Organising for America, issued the mobilisation call last week to a database of 13 million supporters.

The European Union: A Prison Of Nations

"British jobs for British workers" simply cannot happen while we're still in the prison of nations that is the European Union. For we've signed away, without any consultation with the British people or, whisper it if you dare, any vote or referendum on the subject, our right as a country to decide who comes to this country or who works in this country.

We can all pore over the provisions of the Posted Workers Directive if we choose, agree with the Lindsey workers or not as we wish, but the basic fact is that the government, Acas, unions and hundreds or thousands of angry workers cannot have any effect upon the situation. For it is the law, confirmed by the highest court that applies to us, the European Court of Justice (ECJ), that this is so. The Laval and Viking cases are simply confirmation of how the unions themselves were sadly hoodwinked by Jacques Delors. He promised them a "social Europe" and they thought that was what they wanted. What's come back to bite them is that the Europe on offer is not what they thought. The absolute free movement of labour is what is on offer and there's no way of changing that without leaving the EU itself
