CFR president Richard Hass calls for NATO occupation of Libya

by Tony Cartalucci
Infowars.com

Aug. 22, 2011 — The Financial Times has featured an editorial penned by Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass titled, Libya now Needs boots on the ground, 2011where the arch globalist states that Libya’s rebels are in no way capable of rebuilding Libya properly and will require an “international force” to maintain order.

Haass breathtakingly admits that the NATO intervention to “protect civilians” was in fact a political intervention designed to bring about regime change.

With NATO leading the offensive against Tripoli, a relatively calm city until now, the alleged cause of “protecting civilians” rings hollower than ever.

Haass goes on to explain that NATO’s “success” is what requires this international assistance in the predictable form of an occupation force to deal with looting, “die-hard regime supporters,” and tribal war. Haass also implores Obama to reconsider his decision to rule out American boots on the ground and to do so quickly.

Of course, NATO didn’t just spend the last 5 months conducting 7,000+ airstrikes on Libya to “protect civilians” and then ride off into the sunset.

This was a war of conquest from the very beginning, with globalists openly declaring it would determine the “primacy of international law” over the nation-state.

In fact, the initial uprising itself was gestated in Washington and London where opposition leaders were provided resources and safe-havens to conduct their sedition, with globalist stooges like Ibrahim Sahad literally sitting in front of the White House calling for NATO to bomb his homeland.

NATO, its members, particularly the U.S., U.K., and France, and the globalist corporate-financiers behind them, fully intend to rebuild Libya according to their own aspirations shoehorned into a national consensus imposed upon the Libyan people under the guise of “democracy” and “civil society.” We are watching a modern empire expand its boundaries into yet another sovereign nation.

Readers may remember an April 2011 article titled Libyan rebels fighting the globalists’ war with the ever increasingly appropriate subtitle, How the devil pays.

In it a caption attempts to sum up Libya’s future by stating, “if these rebels really think the West is going to hand them Libya and its riches, they have anotherthing coming. The Neo-Con arm of the globalist agenda is already seeding the ground to deal with “extremists” coming to power after the “Arab Spring” runs its course. That means Libya’s oil & future will be left in the hands of NATO troops, not the Libyan people.”

The article continues: “While the dichotomy of Western politics is merely for public consumption, what each camp states publicly can be put together as a composite giving us a clearer picture of the overall globalist agenda. Neo-Conservative war monger Daniel Pipes, a PNAC signatory, CFR member, and co-conspirator in many of the darkest chapters of recent American history, was recently sharing his “doubts” over the final result of the “Arab Spring.” He believes that ultimately extremists will prevail in many cases and only complicate US relations with certain countries.

Of course, Pipes most likely didn’t miss the memo and is fully aware that the “Arab Spring” is a US funded gambit, one his fellow “Neo-Cons” lining the National Endowment for Democracy and the fraudulent Freedom House are admittedly involved in.

At the very least, he must have picked up the New York Times and read as much. So what exactly is Pipes trying to tell us? He is saying that as soon as the Libyan rebels secure Libya, or the Muslim Brotherhood takes hold of Syria, or Yemen, or wins out in a co-opted counterrevolution against International Crisis Group stooge Mohamed ElBaradei in Egypt, the blinders Western propagandists seem to be wearing will suddenly drop and point out that indeed the globalists have installed extremists “by accident.”

To rectify this, Libyan rebels will be betrayed just as quickly as Qaddafi was. They will be removed from power, and replaced by Western stooges protected by NATO ground troops, conveniently already being put on the ground in Libya, and will stay there permanently. The globalist “Neo-Con” think tank Foreign Policy Initiative has stated, “The best way to reduce the potential dangers posed by extremist infiltration is for the United States and its allies to remain engaged in Libya.”

This engagement most likely will take the shape of the other unending “engagements” in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the years of cross-border raids into ­Pakistan. The oil money that once built water ways, public housing, and farms from Benghazi to Tripoli, will be funneled directly out of the country and into the corporate-financier’s accounts. The corporate-financier oligarchs will have taken yet another nation-state down with the help of its own gullible population, and for their gullibility, they will pay for the rest of their lives, as will their children and their children’s children.

This satirical attack on young, modern, globally conscious citizens tells the story of eight grown-up American children creating utopian society as best they can. With gorgeous Super 16 footage and an eclectic soundtrack featuring Dirty Projectors, Sun Araw, and Lucky Dragons, filmmaker Matthew Lessner playfully subverts counterculture films of the seventies while questioning the shortcomings of his own complacent generation.

­Black tide to release second album “Post Mortem” on August 23

Miami brings us one of the most acclaimed new heavy rock bands of the United States. During its short career, Black Tide, a quartet consisting of 3 Latinos and one American, has already been on the Warped tour, at the main stage of the Ozz Fest, at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival together with Slipknot and Disturbed, has shared the stage with legendary groups like Iron Maiden and Metallica, and has been the opening act for the veteran band Avenged Sevenfold.

After the spectacular debut the band has made with its first album, Black Tide is ready to present its second record called “Post Mortem” which will be released on August 23 on the DGC/Interscope label. In support of this release, the group is getting ready to conquer America by performing at the prestigious Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival which will kick off at Camden, New Jersey, on August 26.

A long tour featuring 32 shows will take the band all over the country, where they will again share the stage with Avenged Sevenfold besides other heavy rock groups like Bullet For My Valentine and Sevendust, among others.

The band -Gabriel García (guitar, vocals), Steven Spence (drums), Austin Díaz (guitar), Zakk Sandler (bass)- with Latino roots that stem from Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic, made their debut on the English-language rock scene with their first album “Light From Above” (2008) while they were still teenagers.

That first record earned Black Tide an unprecedented attention from prestigious international magazines such as Rolling Stone and the British magazine Kerrang! which lauded the group as “Best International Newcomer”. Several tracks from their debut album have also succesfully been featured in numerous videogames, from Rock Band to NHL 09.

After intense pre-production, they hit a New York studio with Wilbur (Lamb of God) and GGGarth Richardson [Rage Against the Machine, Mudvayne] in May 2010 and worked towards crafting this cohesive

and dynamic second outing.

“We grew as writers, musicians, people and friends,” says Gabe Garcia. “Most importantly, we became more of a family. Everything about our operation nezuela.

Court orders access to Obamacare secret meetings

Compiled by the El Reportero’s staff

Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, today announced that the U.S. District Court for District of Columbia (Honorable Richard Roberts), ruled that a he and others at Freedom Watch may, in principle, gain access to secret White House meetings with lobbyists in the healthcare and related industries over the President’s so called Obamacare legislation, and learn whether there has been a change in the “composition” of the group of persons and entities the President and his advisers had been meeting with.

Previously, in the months leading up to the controversial Obamacare legislation, the President and his staff had met secretly with lobbyists from Planned Parenthood, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a host of other special interests seeking to influence the White House and the Democratic Party to craft the bill to their liking.

While parts of the case were brought under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the same law that Klayman years earlier had used to try to pry information from the Cheney Energy Task Force under the Bush administration — which case eventually landed in the U.S. Supreme Court — Judge Roberts made his decision on other grounds, which involved so called mandamus proceedings.

Judge Roberts gave the parties until September 26, 2011, to advise the court whether President Obama and his colleagues were still meeting with healthcare lobbyists and whether the case may be moot if they are not.

In this regard Klayman stated: “Clearly, whatever the White House tells the court will be carefully scrutinized, as it is more than likely that they are still meeting and consulting with lobbyists given the complexity, controversial nature, and political ramifications of its implementation — particularly during a year leading up to the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. Too much is at stake for this not to be occurring.

Its just a shame and an affront to the American people that a president who proclaimed that he wanted more transparency in government has chosen to fight tooth and nail to keep his communications with lobbyists secret. This ruling is a huge victory for the American people’s right to know what their government is doing behind closed doors. In the current economic climate, where Obamacare will prove to be a huge cost to the nation as it faces more economic peril and deprivation, this case takes on huge significance.”

Is it amnesty or just just another promise to undocumented immigrants?

Jorge Mújica Murias
México del Norte

Immigrants without papers arrested and in process of deportation but without a criminal record would be able to stay in the country. Those two lines are the whole meaning of a change in direction of Barack Obama’s immigration policy announced this week, ordering the review, on case-by-case bases, of some 300 thousand people without immigration documents currently in the hands of government.

“From the perspective of public safety and law enforcement”, wrote homeland Security’s Janet Napolitano in a letter sent to a Group of Senator who support immigration reform, “homeland Security’s resources should focus on our highest priorities… or we will fail in our mission, will crowd immigration courts and waste resources we should be using on those individuals who are a real problem for public safety”.

Awkward wording, simply meaning ‘we should not be deporting honest workers even if they had a drink too many, and we should really go after drug dealers and rapists’.

Shame there is another document made public not so long ago announcing that Homeland Security’s goal for the year was to deport half-a-million immigrants. We would sure have liked the new letter to clearly say ‘that goal is no longer valid’. Otherwise, the contradiction will be too gross. If the goal is still valid, then detentions will keep happening at their current maddening pace, and then they will take the time to check each case to see if it was worth to detain so many people or not.

In other words, if that is the case, we are tempted to recommend all undocumented immigrants to do their best to get arrested (unless they have ‘real’ criminal records, because the new policy means they could end up getting a work permit, Social Security number and possibly their Green Cards.

To put it simp l e , Obama finally gave us what we have demanded for so long, a sort of amnesty, even if the path takes us first to jail.

But, as all immigration activists told me when I asked them their opinion when the announcement was made, we are like Saint Thomas, who wisely said: “Seeing is Believing”. I strongly agree. Only one organization publicly declared that “Obama Listened To Us”, when the announcement came, but what I think Obama heard was the very wide and transparent threat that “Without Legalization There Will Not Be Reelection”.

Because Obama is a politician in the middle of a campaign, and politicians in campaign measure the effects their actions will have in the next election, and Barack knows that no immigrant will give him a vote in 2012 if he keeps deporting housekeepers, nannies, aunts, uncles and cousins and workers who have been here for 20 years working from sunup to sundown, paying taxes they can claim back.

­The bad part of anycampaigning politician is that they promise everything just for the sake of getting votes, and then they don’t deliver. I guess no one has forgotten Obama promised “immigration reform in my first 90 days in office”, and he’s been there for about a thousand days and we did not see it. What we saw were one million people deported.

If the guy in the White House is really serious, then he would have to complement his “new immigration policy” with some actions: he has to get rid of E-Verify; he has to cancel Secure Communities; he should eliminate the 287-G Polimigra agreements, and he should stop repeating “the law is the law and we have to enforce it”.

If the takes some action, then we may do as Saint Thomas and start believing… if not, if there is nothing but a letter from Janet Napolitano to some Senators and see the Polimigra still acting, Secure Communities and other anti-immigrant programs still in place, then we will not believe and he will still lose his beautiful house in Washington in November of next year…

Gun-crazy U.S policy

by José de la Isla
Hispanic Link News Services

Mexico’s presidential election, coming up a year from now, could very easily have the U.S. gun policy, known as “Fast and Furious,” at the center of public debate.

Revelations about how the policy was implemented and its consequences are still developing, but the bullhorn of new disclosures tends to show it was crazy from the start.

“Fast and Furious,” as it now seems, was one phase of a caper managed out of Phoenix involving arms purchases destined to Mexican drug cartel members. The buys were known to U.S. government officials who were attempting to identify higher-ups in those organizations. More than 2,000 guns were sold, including those linked to the ambush killings of U.S Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and ICE agent Jaime Zapata.

ABC News reported in early July that Fast and Furious weapons were used in several crimes committed in Arizona.

But the “higher-ups,” who authorities were attempting to identify through the operation, were already known to other investigative agencies and may even have been paid informants. Kenneth Melson, the federal agency Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ acting director, said the others included the FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency, which kept his agency in the dark and he would not be the fall guy now that disclosures show what a deadly fiasco they were all engaged in. Had he known, Melson claimed, the ATF could have had a material impact on the Fast and Furious investigation as far back as late 2009 or early 2010.

Approximately 1,800 arms were allowed to slip by AFT agents into presumed organized-crime hands. One disgruntled agent was said to have reported that only 20 arms traffickers were detected during 14 months of the operation and no cartel was dismantled because of it. known as Z-7 of the originalOn July 3, Mexican authorities captured Jesús Enrique Rejón Aguilar, 14 principle leaders of the extremely violent Zetas drug cartel. He disclosed his belief that the U.S. government was involved in facilitating arms to a rival criminal gang, the Gulf cartel.

According Mexico City’s daily Excelsior, he stated to federal police that for a time buyers for the rival gang said even the U.S. government was selling arms and facilitating transport of them and there seemed to be some kind of agreement with the authorities. Fast and Furious may not have been an isolated matter.

According to Excelsior Mike Vanderboegh, who facilitated putting ATF informants before a House panel investigating the matter, about 5,000 arms reached criminals’ hands. One hundred and fifteen of the arms confiscated from cartel members were found to have originated from Texas.

The lawyer for gun dealers in Houston, Dick Deguerin, told Excelsior that his clients reported suspicious purchases of assault rifles, 9mm revolvers, and AK-47s. One chain store was told by ATF to continue providing them with information about suspicious sales and to continue selling arms to Hispanic purchasers of high-powered weapons who paid in cash. ATF took the information, said Deguerin, but his client never heard from the agency.

A third staging, in Tampa, Florida, was called “Castaway”. It apparently ­let arms flow to Honduras that later showed up at crime scenes in Mexico, according to Excelsior.

Novelist Larry Corriea blogged, “If I were to write a thriller in which a federal law enforcement agency knowingly allowed and even encouraged thousands of American guns to cross the border to arm Mexican drug cartels, in an effort to pad their stats to push for more gun control laws, even though innocent Mexican citizens and a U.S. Border Patrol agent were killed in the process and afterward there would be a huge cover-up that went all the way to the President,… some reviewers would say that my plot was silly.”

U.S. policy insanity is already severely criticized in Mexican civic society. Some Mexican senators have called for the extradition of responsible agents to answer for arms trafficking.

That does not sound so crazy anymore.

New York police prepare for civil unrest

­Special unit set up to ‘troll Twitter and Facebook’ for “suspicious activity”

by Paul Joseph Watson

Conserjes marchan por sus derechos laborales en Los Ángeles, California.New York police officers.

In the aftermath of last week’s riots in the United Kingdom, the NYPD has held a “mobilization exercise” to train police to prepare for civil unrest in the United States, while also launching a program designed to spot signs of potential trouble via social networking websites.

The NYPD Disorder Control Unit brought together police from all five of the city’s boroughs to rehearse what the response would be “should out-of-control riots break out here”.

“Approximately 180 police officers total from each borough’s task force, including the horseback and aviation units, came out for the drill,” reports the Metro.

However, unlike in the United Kingdom where the rioters mainly comprised of teenage kids taking the opportunity to steal iPods and other high-end electrical goods, civil unrest in the United States is far more likely to have a political motivation.

With many Americans now becoming “pre-revolutionary” as a result of their fury at the Obama administration and equally unpopular lawmakers in Washington, potential civil unrest could spring not just from a poverty-stricken underclass, but also the shrinking middle class.

Perhaps that’s why the Department of Homeland Security is increasingly focusing its anti-terror apparatus on white middle class Americans, portraying them as domestic terrorist in a series of PSA videos.

In addition to the riot training, a new NYPD unit has also been set up to “troll sites like Twitter and Facebook for suspicious activity” in order to pre-empt potential flash mobs and other civil unrest.

Social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter came in for harsh condemnation following the UK riots, with Prime Minister David Cameron advocating authorities have the power to shut down access during times of public disorder.

For his part in decrying social media, Cameron was praised by none other than Communist China, 1which habitually censors the Internet to hide political corruption or prevent legitimate protesters from receiving media attention. The Communist state routinely uses such powers, which Senator Joe Lieberman has called to be introduced in the United States, to cover up atrocities and abuses against its own citizens.

Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are all banned in China and even sanitized government approved versions of these websites are now being shut down for long periods of time so that they can “remove all politically sensitive content under orders from Chinese internet authorities”.

Oregano: the most powerful antibiotic in the world

by the staff of El Reportero

NOTE OF THE EDITOR: Here we present the third part of a four part series that tells about the surprising benefits of oregano and its uses and properties to improve our daily life.

— Oregano is an antibiotic. Its oil has been tested in laboratories and it has proved to be as powerful as pharmaceutical antibiotics, but without the associated dangers. Use it externally and consume it for any kind of infection.

Burns, cuts and grazes: immediately apply oregano oil to disinfect and reduce pain. A timely application can help to prevent blisters and scars by burns and also infections, allowing a quick recovery of the skin in all kinds of wounds.

Teeth and gums. Oregano oil acts as an effective pain relief for teeth, by killing the bacteria that causes pain. Apply the oil directly on the infected tooth. For gum problems, apply the oreganooil in the gum with a clean finger or by pouring one drop in the toothbrush before brushing. Regular treatment improves dental hygiene.

Intoxication: According to a recent study, approximately 20 per cent of the samples of meat obtained in stores contained bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Vegetarians can also be affected, as Salmonella and E. Coli have been found in vegetables such as iceberg lettuce or alfalfa germen. The food in restaurants is continuously contaminated due to bad hygiene or to inappropriate washing procedures.

After eating, take from 3 to 5 drops of oregano oil, as a measure of prevention. If some symptom persists, take 3 drops each hour for up to 10 hours or until the symptom disappear. Natural antibiotics, such as oregano oil, don’t generate antibiotic resistance, as the pharmaceutical products do. Use oregano oil to stimulate your immunologic system and to eliminate any pathogenic bacteria. This natural medicine serves as a defense against biological toxins.

Antiviral cold, flu and herpes: Daily intake in order to maintain a strong immunologic system and to weaken the virus. At the first signal of a viral infection, immediately take from 3 to 6 drops and continue with a maximum of 3 drops an hour during 10 hours maximum. In the case of herpes, besides taking oregano oil, it is advisable to apply the oil directly in the place where you first felt the tickle before the rash, as this would usually stop the rush. Due to the sensation of heat, oregano shouldn’t be used in sensitive skin areas or mucosa membrane.

Don’t use it in genitals without before having diluted one or two drops of oregano oil in one tablespoon of olive oil and first try it in small amounts. When it is applied at the first symptom, most of the viral conditions will become harmless. Warts can be treated by applying oregano oil directly to the wart, using a piece of cotton. It’s better to leave the cotton with oregano oil stuck to the wart as long as possible, fixing it with scotch tape. Repeat this procedure from 2 to 3 times a day and put 3 drops under the tongue 3 times a day during several months. It can be useful to cut the surface of the skin, in order to allow the oil to penetrate up to the root of the wart.

Antidote Oregano oil is able to neutralize poisonous bites. It is very effective as first aid against all kinds of poisonous bites, such as bees’, snakes’ and spiders’. Oregano oil is also useful to prevent infections and reduces inflammation and pain. Apply it directly to the wound; the oil will penetrate in it and this would neutralize toxins ­and pathogens. Take a few drops to increase the effect.

Next week we will finish discovering the benefits of oregano as a major component of our diet.

Education, the big issuea

Elba Esther GordilloElba Esther Gordillo

La educación es un tema que está surgiendo en la agenda política por toda la región. En Chile y Colombia hay importantes debates respecto del rol que las instituciones de educación superior con fines de lucro juegan en el sistema educativo. En México, Elba Esther Gordillo, la líder del sindicato de profesores, quien efectivamente ha manejado el pobre sistema educativo nacional los pasados 20 años, (finalmente) está enfrentando un desafío a su nociva autoridad. Ambiciosos gobiernos en la región ahora han reconocido que los logros en educación son elementos cruciales para un crecimiento económico sostenible. Ningún gobierno en la región tiene nada de qué jactarse respecto de su sistema educativo.

Cuba, que figura con mejores calificaciones en los datos de Naciones Unidas, tenía todo, excepto haber eliminado el analfabetismo antes de la Revolución de 1959. Desde entonces, los estándares en educación han hecho apenas algo más
