Barak and Panetta to announce special US military “assistance” to Israel ~ link ~ Let’s call it what it really is, another giant rip-off of the American tax payer by a tiny minority that bribes and blackmails the US Government. Most Americans don’t mind some help to Israel but this has gotten so far out of hand in the last couple of decades. We have spent over $3 TRILLION on unnecessary wars in the Middle East based on lies and False Flag Ops involving tiny Israel. We have given them over FOUR TIMES what we spent on the entire US space program…and they want more and are close to dragging America and the entire World into WWIII … ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Stirling
The Obama administration is expected to announce an additional $680 million in U.S. financial aid aimed at helping Israel purchase additional Iron Dome batteries to intercept rockets.
Assistance for two other missile defense programs has also been authorized: $165 million for the Magic Wand mid-range anti-missile system, which is under development, and $119 million for the Arrow long-range anti-missile system.
Egypt brokers Palestinian Hunger Strike Deal ~ link
Palestinians prisoners end Hunger Strike as agreement reached with Israeli officials ~ link ~ They stood up to oppression and won! Stirling
Israel Prison Services reported on Monday that Palestinian prisoners have agreed to end their hunger strike. Senior sources within the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club told Haaretz that an agreement was forged between the Israel Prison Services and the prisoners, containing three main chapters concerning administrative detainees, solitary confinement policy, and visits from family members residing in Gaza.
Earlier Monday, it was reported that a disagreement arose between the prisoner’s delegation and prison service officials at Ashkelon prison, concerning administrative detainees. According to the report, a senior Egyptian Intelligence official was summoned to Israel in order to resolve the disagreement. After hours of feverish negotiations that included intervention from the Egyptian Intelligence official, an agreement was reached and signed by the Israel Prison Service and prisoner representatives.
Four GCC states plan to form core of “superstates” ~ link ~ At least three members of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have hinted they are likely to back a Saudi plan to transform the council into a diplomatic and military union.
The London-based Al Hayat daily cited a senior GCC source who said Qatar and possibly Kuwait could join Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in announcing their intention to be part of the union core. The UAE and Oman would join at a later stage, the source that the paper did not identify said, explaining that “the brothers have their particular situations”, and adding that “all countries have agreed on the Gulf union.”
Evidence of US weapons-grade uranium diversions to Israel ~ link ~ Not only is that a massive thief in terms of dollar value, that is HIGH TREASON and is punishable by death by execution. Yet I suspect no one will ever be charged and things will continue to be covered up…as usual when Israel is involved! Stirling

US House of Representatives to Cut Food Stamps to Avoid Defense Reduction ~ link ~ “Screw the people…just keep the money junkies in the military-defense establishment happy!” Just unbelievable!!! Stirling
The U.S. House voted to cut food stamps, federal workers’ benefits and other domestic programs to avoid scheduled reductions in defense spending.
“This plan ensures that we maintain our fiscal discipline and commitment to reducing out-of-control government spending, while making sure our top priority is national security,” said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican.
If you live in California: Things Just Got A Whole Lot Worse ~ link ~ It has been a truism all my life that trends tend to start in California and then move across the rest of America. Stirling
Why does the state of California seem to be so incredibly hopeless? These days California can’t seem to do anything right, and if you live in California things just got a whole lot worse. Governor Brown has announced that the state budget deficit for this year is going to be much larger than projected, that more government services are going to be cut and that voters are going to vote on another round of tax increases in November. Meanwhile, unemployment is sitting at 11 percent and extended federal unemployment benefits for workers in the state are ending. Because California is one of the worst places in the nation to conduct business, there has been a steady flow of companies leaving the state. Those companies have taken a whole lot of good jobs with them. Due to the lack of jobs and a steady stream of impoverished immigrants coming in from Mexico and other countries, poverty in the state has exploded and crime is rapidly increasing. California may be the land of “endless sunshine”, but for the California economy there are only dark clouds on the horizon. The state is coming apart at the seams and there is not much hope that things are going to turn around any time soon.
These days, California is very similar to Greece in many ways.
Just like Greece, California has had round after round of “austerity” and yet still cannot seem to balance the budget.
Even after all of the cuts that have been implemented in recent years, the California budget deficit is still going to be far larger than originally projected this year. The following is from the Los Angeles Times….
Writer Hilary Mantel: Catholic Church is not for respectable people ~ link ~ I hate to say it but I sadly came to that conclusion some time ago. I think that the majority of people that I have known in my life that have gone to prison have been Catholic priests for sex crimes. There is NO EXCUSE for this crap or for maintaining the man-made rule of priestly celibacy. I have become a Eastern Orthodox Catholic and our priests (about 90-95%) are married and we have almost zero sex problems. We also have a generally very faithful and traditionally dogmatic group of priests dedicated to serving God. While there are some good Catholic priests and nuns, I have seen far far too many who shamefully had no business acting as clergy or nuns. Stirling

Ron Paul stuns in Arizona, upset win is game changer! ~ link ~ In a repeat of Iowa, where a Mitt Romney State Chairman held up accurate results of the vote for weeks, the Arizona State Convention has gone into overtime. Ballots are supposedly locked up, waiting to be counted “tomorrow.” But citizens and journalists on the floor had no trouble discerning that Ron Paul forces had seized the day and if the vote is fair, he will likely win the majority of delegates from Arizona to the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
If the victory in Arizona proves true, and remember, there is a tantalizing and suspicious delay, then Ron Paul will likely win the right to be nominated on the floor of the Republican National Convention in Tampa. It isn’t over yet, there are some Ron Paul states that have been won at the County or District level, that still need the formality of winning the state convention, but barring parliamentary jujitsu, it is on track to happen. It is big news.
Cardiologist speaks out against current cholesterol guidelines ~ link ~ Those guidelines are worth many billions in sales to Big Pharma and that is WHY they are there! If you want to stay healthy GET OUTSIDE OF THE BIG PHARMA BULLSHIP MATRIX!!! Stirling
FDA admits statin drugs cause diabetes and memory loss ~ link ~ As a general rule, the less prescription drugs you take the better. Stirling
All those doctors and medical experts who have expressed support for handing out statin drugs like candy or adding them to drinking water supplies may want to take a gander at new safety data published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to the agency’s website, the FDA has issued new labeling guidelines for statin drugs warning users that the medications can cause memory loss, elevated blood sugar levels, and type-2 diabetes, in addition to muscle damage and liver disease.
Patients taking Altoprev (lovastatin extended release), Crestor (rosuvastatin), Lescol (fluvastatin), Lipitor (atorvastatin), Livalo (pitavastatin), Mevacor (lovastatin), Pravachol (pravastatin), Zocor (simvastatin), Advicor (lovastatin / niacin extended-release), Simcor (simvastatin / niacin extended-release), and Vytorin (simvastatin / ezetimibe) will want to be aware of these potentially life-altering side effects, which are receiving little attention from the mainstream media.

Big Pharma wants you hooked on these six pharmaceuticals for life ~ link ~ It is a known fact that the drug industry makes a whole lot more money on pharmaceuticals that patients must take perpetually for chronic conditions, rather than on those they take occasionally for isolated illnesses. This is why Big Pharma has worked hard over the years to get as many people as possible hooked on drugs that must essentially be taken for life, including six classes of drugs in particular that you or someone you know is probably already taking.
Ever since direct-to-consumer drug advertising became commonplace on television, in magazines and even on billboards starting in the 1990s, more Americans than ever become convinced that they have some novel new disease that requires ongoing treatment with medication. And these conditions include things like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and many others.

Why is the Obama Administration allowing the Chinese Government to buy up US oil and gas deposits worth billions of dollars? ~ link ~ If we are trying to become independent of foreign oil, then why is the Obama administration allowing the Chinese government to buy up U.S. oil and gas deposits worth billions of dollars? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The United States desperately needs to maintain control over its own domestic energy resources so that we can end our addiction to foreign oil. As I have written about previously, the United States actually has plenty of oil. If we would simply use the resources that we already have, we would never have to import a single drop of foreign oil. But instead, we continue to be the largest importer of oil on the planet and we are allowing China to rapidly buy up oil and gas deposits inside the United States. This is fundamentally wrong and it is a serious threat to our national security. But apparently everything is for sale in the United States today, and that includes our precious energy resources.
The Chinese government is using two giant corporations to buy up these energy resources.
The first is the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). According to Wikipedia, this corporation is 100 percent owned by the Chinese government….
Greece will run out of money soon, warns Deputy Prime Minister ~ link ~ Greece needs to throw its mainstream political class into the dustbin of history, dump the EU and the EURO, take control of its own currency, tell the corrupt evil central bankers to go directly to Hell NOW, and begin criminal proceedings against all the key people at Goldman Sacks/MPs/etc. who screwed the Greek people. Stirling
Greece’s deputy prime minister has said the country will run out of money in six weeks unless it honours its bitterly-disputed EU bailout deal.
Ten points everyone should know about the Quebec student movement ~ link ~ The student strikes in Quebec, which began in February and have lasted for three months, involving roughly 175,000 students in the mostly French-speaking Canadian province, have been subjected to a massive provincial and national media propaganda campaign to demonize and dismiss the students and their struggle.
The following is a list of ten points that everyone should know about the student movement in Quebec to help place their struggle in its proper global context.
Israel and USA scrambling to ensure their candidate elected President in Egypt ~ link ~ The geniuses in the Mossad and CIA who helped organize the so-called ‘Arab Sprint’ managed to create a major case of ‘blowback’ in Egypt. Stirling
