In Uruzgan Province, at least 20 cops announced they were joining the Mujahideen.  Local police officials blame it on the way Australian occupying Diggers are treating local cops: “The Australian soldiers beat the Afghan guards after some verbal disputes in a military camp in Charchino district of Uruzgan province.”-Wali Dad, local police chief

U.S. embassy officials confirm: “We can confirm that a U.S. citizen was killed in Parwan Province on Monday.”  Mujahideen have claimed they did it.  However, no one is giving out details about the U.S. civilian, other than he was an engineer who had been working in Afghanistan for at least 30 years.  That would mean he had been there since the Soviet occupation in the 1980s! Local police say the U.S. citizen was dressed as an Afghan.

In Faryab Province, an Afghan soldier shot and wounded two U.S. occupiers: “An Afghan army soldier opened fire on U.S. soldiers inside a military base… and injured two U.S. soldiers. The attacker was killed in return fire.”-Abdul Satar Barez, deputy provincial governor

World War 3, Syria says U.S. made Stinger missiles being delivered to rebel groups, U.S. welcomes resignation of Kofi Annan

In a press conference, at the United Nations in New York City, a Syrian UN rep stated that U.S. made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles were being shipped in to rebels, via NATO member Turkey.

Syrian rep states the United States is glad Kofi Annan resigned because the U.S. was against Annan’s six point peace plan. Syria, Russia, China and other countries supported Annan’s plan, but every time the Syrian government tried to implement the plan, rebels would increase their attacks forcing the Syrian government to respond in self defense.

What Economic Recovery? Ford and Chevy sales up in the U.S.? So what! Global profits are still crashing! Layoffs in the works!

“We think this is a situation that we will have to deal with for the foreseeable future.”-Bob Shanks, Ford CFO

“We have overcapacity now in Europe. It isn’t going to come back fast and we aren’t going to be saved by volume.”-Alan Mulally, Ford CEO

02 August 2012, Ford and General Motors (GM) reporting falling profits despite earlier reports of increased sales.

GM reporting a drop in profits of 41% compared to the same time last year.  Ford reporting a 57% drop!  Both blame crashing sales in the European Union. GM lost $361 million USD in Europe, Ford lost $404 million!

GM’s biggest European brand, Opel, has been losing money big time.  German newspapers are reporting major changes in the works, such as reducing pay for employees, layoffs and even ending some production in the United States, shifting that production to Europe then shipping the cars to the U.S. for sale (of course that would mean layoffs for U.S. workers).

Chrysler, now controlled by Italy’s Fiat, was the only one to see an increase in profits. However, Fiat is hoping to use Chrysler to offset Fiat losses in Europe.

Ford also had profit losses in South America and Asia, which is worrisome since those are the two big vehicle sales markets right now. When asked if factory closings and layoffs were in the works, Ford’s CEO said cuts to “all areas of the business” were being considered.

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!!!”
