Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport. My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front). Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42. Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.

Texas Christian Governor Rick Perry is a Porn Kingpin?

Independent journalists have been tracking down where Texas Governor Rick Perry made his fortunes.  Turns out one of his early investments was in one of the biggest porn video distributors, Movie Gallery.

That was back in 1995, so some Perry supporters will likely try to defend it as something that happened in the past, and he should be forgiven.

The problem is that as recently as 2006, Governor Perry actually pushed for legislation that protected Movie Gallery, and other porn companies, from lawsuits.  Clearly he’s still involved in the Texas porn industry.

On one hand Perry claims to be for Christian family values, he even has support of the Christian organization American Family Association, while on the other hand is clearly making money off the porn industry.  To make things even stranger, the American Family Association is actively trying to shut down the very porn distributor that Perry is invested in.

And don’t think Perry’s personal financial activities aren’t affecting what happens in his administration.  Here’s what a Texas newspaper said, in 2010, about Perry’s state Film Commissioner, Bob Hudgins: “Gov. Rick Perry’s outgoing director of the Texas Film Commission has been allowed to stay on the job despite being disciplined for sexual harassment in 2009 and after a subsequent investigation found similar behavior again this year.”-The Statesman

Global Economic War: Venezuela to nationalize Gold industry, demands that their gold stored in European & U.S. banks be returned, creating gold back money

“Venezuela is the 13th largest holder of gold in the world. From a financial aspect, I think it is a very shrewd and intelligent move to protect his country’s gold assets.  There is, however, a political overtone in that he wants to pull out the other financial assets that Venezuela has in the U.K., in the U.S., and push it into what he calls ‘more likable allies’, Russia, China and Brazil.”-Adrian Salbuchi

President Hugo Chavez wants all of Venezuela’s gold now held in European and U.S. banks to be returned.

It would be the largest physical movement of gold in recent history.  Some reports say it would involve U.S.$11 billion in gold.

The demand for Venezuela’s gold to be returned, comes after Chavez announced that the government would nationalize all gold mines in Venezuela.

The intent of nationalizing their gold industry is a precursor to creating money backed by gold: “We are going to nationalize gold and turn it into foreign exchange reserves…”-Hugo Chavez

Global Economic War: Japan has a new agressive policy for acquiring Rare Earth Minerals

Japan says it will offer less developed countries money, and other aid, to help them develop infrastructure and industries, in exchange for exclusive mining rights for rare earth minerals.

China has been using the same tactic for decades.  Japan says they’re adopting such a policy in order to compete with China.

Rare earth minerals are used in high tech products like cell phones and hybrid cars.  Because of the rapid development of high tech devices, and the increasing global dependence on them, rare earth minerals could become the “oil” of the 21st century.

Afghan Mujahideen claim they killed 27 U.S. troops in truck bomb attack

August 18, Taliban claim they launched a truck bomb attack on U.S. Gardez base, killing 27 U.S. troops.

Official U.S. media reports say only two Afghans were killed.  The U.S. media has proven over and over that it can not be trusted.

Witnesses say the explosion was “huge” and destroyed a U.S. helicopter as well.

Since the beginning of August the Afghan Mujahideen have escalated their attacks on NATO forces.  This despite President Obama saying the Taliban were on the decline.  August is looking like it will be the deadliest month for U.S./NATO forces.

Global Economic War: Iran makes first oil sale not based on U.S. dollar

August 19, the first shipment of Iranian crude oil has been sold on Iran’s Bourse Organization/Kish Commodity Exchange.  500,000 barrels of heavy crude oil were sold.

Iran’s Bourse was created in 2008 for the specific purpose of selling oil using any international currency, other than the U.S. dollar.  Up until now, the Bourse/Kish exchange was selling only oil-derived products, things like plastics and pharmaceutical supplies.

This is the real reason the United States wants to attack Iran, it was the real reason the United States invaded Iraq.  If you remember Saddam Hussein announced that Iraq was no longer going to accept the U.S. dollar for its oil sales. Suddenly the U.S. was claiming that Iraq was connected to the 9/11 attacks, and that they had weapons of mass destruction (all since proven to be lies).

U.S. Media never reported the weeks of Israeli attacks on Gaza, West Bank, and Lebanon, now Israel kills Egyptian soldiers, cry me a river Israel!

For several weeks Israeli air forces have been bombing Gaza and West Bank, the U.S. media ignored it.  Israeli ground forces have conducted several raids into Lebanon, the U.S. media ignored it.

Then Israel say eight Israelis were killed in an attack on a bus, carrying Israeli soldiers and civilians, north of the Red Sea resort of Eilat. They use that attack to justify their current escalation of attacks against Gaza.  They claim it was Hamas who attacked the tour bus.  The U.S. media was all over it.

Here’s the problem, Gaza is nowhere near the resort of Eliat.  Secondly, those who were attacked say the attackers were Egyptian soldiers, not Palestinians.

U.S. media went along with Israeli claims that the attackers were from Gaza.  Again, an Israeli media interview with the driver of the tour bus, said that the attackers definitely came from an Egyptian border post, and were wearing Egyptian army uniforms.

Israel killed dozens of Palestinians in their attacks prior to the August 18th attack on the tour bus, and Israel has killed dozens more since they launched their “retaliatory” attacks on Gaza.  Many of those killed by Israel are women and children.

The latest reports say that Israel has also attacked Egyptian troops, killing three.  The report was made by the Egyptian government.

Of course Palestinians are now responding with their own rocket attacks against Israel.  International journalists in the area say it looks like it could escalate into a full blown war.  Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak is vowing a “full force” attack against Palestinians.

Just last week, I posted that Israeli officials stated they were going to go to war in September, to stop Palestine from becoming a recognized member of the United Nations, and to attack Syria.

When you look at the casualties that Israel has suffered, compared to the casualties Israel has caused, you’ll know who the real terrorist is.  Cry me a river U.S. media, cry me a river Israel!!!

Afghans celebrate independence from U.K. by destroying British Embassy

The British embassy in Afghanistan is under attack as I write this.  It began with massive explosions.  Pics show a multi-story building with its facade completely destroyed.  Smaller explosions and constant gunfire is ongoing.

The Taliban are claiming they launched the attacks.  Insurgents are still inside the embassy compound.  At least 12 people killed, officials expect the number to increase.  At least two of the killed are confirmed to be U.K. citizens.

Afghanistan gained independence from Britain on August 19, 1919.

U.S. & Europe preps for attacks on Syria by cancelling bi-annual war games with Egypt

The United States has cancelled its bi-annual “Bright Star” war games with Egypt.  The two countries have been holding such war games for decades.

This comes as the U.S. and Europe push for UN action against Syria, but officially its because of the political transition taking place in Egypt.

Bright Star war games have also included France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.  If you notice it includes many of the U.S. led NATO countries that also want to take out the Syrian government.

Global Economic War: Chinese economists continue to push their government to dump U.S. bonds, says the U.S. has passed point of no return, will continue on a downward spiral, Morgan Stanely agrees

“China should move progressively to cut its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds and use it as leverage to ask Washington [DC] to further open its markets, including the high-technology sector, to Chinese investment.”-Xiang Songzuo, University of China

U.S. Vice President Biden is in China, trying to reassure the Chinese government that the U.S. will “…ensure the safety, liquidity and value of U.S. Treasury obligations for all of its investors.”

Chinese economist say it’s too late, the U.S. economy is too far gone: “But there is very little room left for the U.S. government to revitalize its economy.  Low growth and high unemployment will be regular features of the U.S. economy in the future.”-Wei Liang, China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations

Even officials with Morgan Stanely, an international finance company based in New York City, say the United States has lost all economic legitimacy: “The U.S. debt crisis has taken a serious toll on China’s confidence in Washington’s [DC] economic stewardship.  China is no longer willing to risk financial and economic stability on the basis of Washington’s hollow promises and tarnished economic stewardship.”-Stephen Roach, Morgan Stanley Asia

U.S., Europe pushing UN Security Council for resolution against Syria, BRICS opposed

“We believe that the time has come for the council to take further actions to step up the pressure against those who are responsible for the violence against the citizens of Syria.”-Philip Parham, U.K. representative to UN Security Council

The U.S., France, Germany and Portugal all backed up the British demand that the UN Security Council take action against Syria.

The problem is that all the most economically powerful countries are opposed.  Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa believe the government of Syria is correct when it says the insurgency was started by outside forces (meaning the U.S. and Europe).

Russia and China are permanent members of the UN Security Council.  India currently holds the presidency of the UN Security Council.
