Evil Elites & the War on Drugs: Evidence the Queen of England is a drug dealer, U.K. bank regulator says so! This comes as the U.S. cracks down on suspicious bank accounts of lowly individuals in the name of the War on Terror

On March 21, 2012, a candidate running for the office of President of France, told interviewers that: “No, not all her fortune. There are many other sources, but it’s a series of trafficking operations within which, yes, there were drugs.”-Jacques Cheminade

Now, March 26, 2012, the U.K.’s Financial Services Authority (FSA) is backing up Cheminade’s claims against the Queen!  The FSA says the Royal family is involved in what looks like money laundering and possibly drug trafficking!

The FSA fined Coutts, which is the official bank of the Royal family, 8.75 million pounds ($13.8 million USD), for failing to prevent money laundering among other things: “The failings at Coutts were serious, systemic and were allowed to persist for almost three years. They resulted in an unacceptable risk of Coutts handling the proceeds of crime.”– Financial Services Authority statement

Coutts is a division of RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland).  RBS officials say they’ve tried to comply with years of FSA regulations: “Since the FSA first raised its concerns, we have implemented a number of improvements to prevent any recurrence of these failings. Regulatory reforms continue apace.”-Rory Tapner, RBS

The thing is the FSA brought up the issue of money laundering, which would include the possibility of drug dealing, back in 2007!  FSA says about 75% of Coutts accounts are suspicious.  FSA also says about 75% of all British banks fail to check the legitimacy of their clients deposits!

Coutts began in 1692, and had clients such as Charles Dickens, William Pitt, the Duke of Wellington, David Livingstone, P.T. Barnum, Frederick Chopin and King George III.   If you don’t think the Royal family could be involved in drug dealing go study the Opium Wars.

The United Kingdom is supposed to be an ally of the U.S. in the so called War on Terror.  Part of that ‘War’ includes fighting money laundering and drug trafficking, because it supposedly funds terrorists.  This is more proof that the elites are actually running the money laundering and drug trafficking operations, while screwing us commoners over!  They are the real terrorists!

Race War: Off duty U.S. cop shoots and kills unarmed black woman!

“There were 60-70 people in the park and no one had a gun. Everyone was just out there to hang out, that’s it!”-Leo Coleman, witness

On March 21, 2012, an off duty Chicago cop shot a 22 year old black woman.  She died the next day.

To make things worse, the off duty cop was actually shooting at a black man, who was talking on a cell phone.  The cop said the cell phone was a weapon!

According to the racist Chicago police union, the off duty detective asked a group of people gathered near Douglas Park to quiet down.  The apparently vision impaired cop then claimed that a black man pointed a gun at him.

That ‘gun’ was actually a cell phone.  The cop opened fired, wounding the man, and killing the 22 year old woman!

Evil California Christians: Iraqi mother of 5 children stabbed to death in her California home, killer left hate crime note

“…she was hit with some kind of a tool about eight times in the head. She was knocked on the floor and was found in a pool of blood.”-Hanif Mohebi, San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations

A 32 year old woman, and mother of five children was beaten, stabbed and left to bleed to death in her California home on March 21, 2012.  She died on March 24.

A note was found next to her body, it said: “go back to your country, you terrorist.”

“A week ago they left a letter saying ‘this is our country not yours you terrorist’, and so my mom ignored that thinking it was just kids playing a prank. But the day they hit her, they left another note again, and it said the same thing.”-victim’s 17 year old daughter

The victim’s husband worked for the U.S. Army, training U.S. soldiers before deployment to the Middle East.  The victim had lived in the U.S. for 20 years!!!

Some people think she was targeted because she continued to wear a scarf over her hair when outdoors!  You know there was a time when even Christian women wore scarves over their hair!

Read up you sick Mother F***ing Ass Hole right wing American christian bastards and bitches! Not one single Iraqi has ever committed an act of terrorism against the United States!!!  You Sons of Bitches and Bastards U.S. of A. christians are the real terrorists!!!

World War 3: Libyan Rebel leader says Western Powers wanted Gaddafi killed, because of his knowledge of the evil secrets of Europe & United States

“There are just too many parties who have real interests that Gaddafi doesn’t talk, that he should be silenced forever.”-Mahmoud Jibril, former Interim Prime Minister Libyan NTC

In an exclusive interview with Russia Today, Jibril said Gaddafi was not killed under NTC orders, they wanted him alive. He says it was Western Powers (United States and European Union) that wanted him dead.

Jibril even said: “I would love to know who was behind [Gaddafi’s] killing.”

Those who killed Gaddafi even used their cell phones to record video of their torture and finally killing of Gaddafi.  It was obviously meant to send a message (as was the cell phone video of Saddam Hussein’s ridicule before he was executed).

Jibril says the proof that the war in Libya was not about oil, but about killing Gaddafi, is the fact that Europe was getting oil while Gaddafi was in power. This is backed up by Jibril’s belief that Western Powers suddenly ignored Libya once Gaddafi was killed: “What I am saying is that after the regime fell down [Gaddafi killed] most of the Western countries felt that ‘mission has been accomplished’…we need the help to re-establish our national army…to re-establish our police…and prepare the country for elections…unfortunately the kind of assistance provided by our potential friends…are not a priority for the time being.”

World War 3: Three U.S./NATO troops killed by Afghan government forces!

March, 26, 2012, several U.S./NATO/ISAF troops being killed by Afghan government forces, or police officers!

British media reporting at least two British troops killed by a man who “tricked” his way onto a British base in Helmand Province.  He was killed by U.K. troops.

Afghan officials say the man traveled from Nangarhar Province, and had been in the Afghan army for 4 years.

A third ISAF troop, from the U.S., was killed by a local police officer at a police checkpoint in Paktika Province.

Oil & Gas Prices: Argentina raises prices, Quantas uses cooking oil to fuel planes, Sinopec looking to rival U.S. shale oil production

Daniel Cameron, Argentina’s Energy Secretary, is proposing to raise the price of Argentine oil exports to $63 per barrel.  Currently Argentina sells their oil at $42 per barrel.

Decades ago the Argentine government froze their export oil prices.  Now oil production is way down, because it’s not worth it to the Argentine oil companies.

To make the economic situation worse, Argentina imports most of its refined fuel, and that’s been going up, in price as well as volume.  Cameron wants to increase their export oil prices to offset the growing demand and cost of imported fuel, and to build up reserve funds in Argentina’s Central Bank.

The Australian airline Quantas, will be using a mix of kerosene based jet fuel, and used cooking oil.

Two of their airliners will be using the mixed fuel.  It’s being supplied by a Dutch company called SkyNRG.

Don’t be too concerned, the turbine (jet engine) is a glorified diesel engine.  In 1893 Rudolph Diesel designed the diesel engine specifically to run on peanut, or vegetable oil.  He succeed, however he was sued by Rockefeller’s Standard Oil.

Today’s diesel fuel is actually Petrodiesel, meaning fuel for diesel engines made from petroleum, not plant oils.

So, turbines and piston diesel engines should run fine on cooking oil, unless they were specifically made to run on Petrodiesel only (and don’t forget the bogus U.S. EPA rules that force you to use Petrodiesel in your diesel powered vehicle).

Virgin Airways Australia is also about to run their airliners on plant based fuels.  The fuel will be based on a type of Eucalyptus, called a Mallee tree in Western Australia.

China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) will increase oil production and natural gas extraction.  This is partly because their profits dropped by 23% in their fourth business quarter.

The drop in profits came as corporate officials tried to shift from producing fuel, to buying fuel from other refiners.  Officials said Sinopec refining operations were actually costing more than refiners in other countries.

Sinopec is also exploring possible shale oil in western China, which could rival shale oil production in the United States.

Terror Drones: March 18-25

“The President’s counter terrorism campaign is about stealth power, rather than hard power or soft power. He is a Jekyll and Hyde president; he is the king of covert because there are not many military options available now.”-Laura Blumenfeld, German Marshall Fund

On March 25, 2012, U.S. President Barack Obama was labeled “Jekyll and Hyde”, at the annual Brussels Forum. Analyst say Obama has increased the use of terror drones in order to save money!

Pakistan’s President says Parliamentary demands that the U.S. stop using terror drones against Pakistan, is a sign of democracy.

On March 25, President Asif Ali Zardari met with Marc Grossman, Special U.S. Representative on Afghanistan and Pakistan.  Zandari said the U.S. had to respect the demands of the Pakistani members of parliament.

Zandari also brought up drug trafficking, which has increased ever since the United States started the so called War on Terror.

Earlier in the week, U.S. Senator Joe Libierman and Senator Dianne Feinstein refused demands from Afghan leaders, who’re calling for a stop to terror drone strikes in their country.

“Drone strikes are critically important to America’s national security. So obviously, I do not believe they should stop.”-Joe Libierman, Senator for Connecticut

“I think the key is whether Pakistan will go into North Waziristan and other places and take out those terrorist leaders who are essentially fueling and leading attacks against our troops in Afghanistan.”-Dianne Feinstein, Senator for California

In the Philippines the government there is denying that the U.S. is using terror drones to help the Philippine government fight mujahideen in the southern islands: “They are here as advisers. They are here as trainers. They can not participate in combat operations.”-Benigno Aquino, President of Philippines

The United States began sending troops back to the Philippines ever since the beginning of the War on Terror.  In the past two years U.S. troop numbers have increased, and could actually be due to the growing tensions over the oil rich South China Sea (especially in an area called Reed Bank).

While the Philippines says no terror drones are being used there, they admit  helping the United States, and the Malaysian government launch air strikes against mujahideen in Malaysia.

Dumb ‘Mericans: Investigation reveals U.S. Schools continue to FAIL, standardized test scores off the charts

“These findings are concerning.”-Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) has published the results of their investigation into standardized test scores across the United States.

Sompin’ fishy in Denmark! The chilins ain’t gettin’ an edjumacation!

Scores from 69,000 public schools, in 49 states, were compared.  Standardized test scores should not vary greatly from year to year.  The norm is considered 5%.  Yet the AJC found percentages in variation as great as 29.17% (a school district in Rhode Island)!

In many cases, students who scored well one year absolutely crashed and burned the very next year!  If teaching was consistent from grade level to grade level, and the students are answering the questions honestly, something like that shouldn’t happen.

Such high variance suggests the test result were falsified, although the AJC is not going so far as to make that claim.  Investigators are asking the U.S. Department of Education to look into it.

Dumb ‘Mericans: South East Idaho’s School District 25 “flagged” for “suspicious” test scores, again!

In an independent investigation into public school federal test scores, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution found the Southeastern Idaho School District 25 had suspicious test scores three years in a row.

The Pocatello/Chubbuck/Bannock County school district was “flagged” because it had test results that varied from year to year “outside the norm”.

A normal variance is considered 5% from year to year.

In 2008 there was a 13.1% variance.  In 2009 it was 8.54% variance.  In 2010 it jumped to 14.29% variance in test scores from the previous year!

Compare School District 25’s test score variance to Eastern Idaho’s School District 91 (aka Idaho Falls district): 2008; 1.28%. 2009; 6.41%. 2010; 6.41%.  Much closer to the 5% “normal” variance.

Researchers say if education is consistent, and the children taking the tests are answering the questions from their own knowledge, then there shouldn’t be such high shifts in Idaho School District 25’s test scores from year to year.

Government Incompetence: More U.S. citizens renounce their citizenship, American exodus continues, if you leave you are now a terrorist

“What we have seen is a substantial change in mentality among the overseas community in the past two years. Before, no one would dare mention to other Americans that they were even thinking of renouncing their U.S. nationality. Now, it is an openly discussed issue.”-Jackie Bugnion, American Citizens Abroad 

Since 2008 the numbers of U.S. citizens rejecting their citizenship has only gone up.

2008: 235

2009: 743

2010: 1,500+

And these are the people who left the United States and officially rejected their citizenship.  The number of people who still have U.S. citizenship, after leaving,  are in the millions!

The exodus has got government leaders so riled up that they’ve passed tax laws (like FATCA & FBAR) that essentially makes anyone who leaves the United States a tax evading terrorist.

This is redundant because expatriates are already required to pay U.S. taxes even though they live in another country: “The U.S. is the only developed nation in the world that taxes its citizens on income they earn abroad.“-William McGurn, Wall Street Journal

By one count, 5.2 million U.S. citizens live outside the United States, and pay taxes to the United States!

Recently a U.S. citizen, who’s been living in Sweden for 25 years, got hit with a huge FBAR fine: “I was potentially looking at a seven figure fine.”-‘Pamela’

‘Pamela’ also explained how she was treated like a suspected terrorist: “I was treated like a criminal. I was told that even in the Voluntary Disclosure Program it would be assumed I was a ‘willful violator’ of the tax laws and would need to pay 25% of all my overseas assets, based on the highest balance in the sum total of all my bank accounts, retirement accounts, apartment, car, etc. over the last eight years.”

The U.S. government even puts pressure on other countries to go after the U.S. expats: “We have heard of banks calling in mortgages and refusing pension fund and insurance coverage for U.S. citizens.”-Mary Louise Serrato, American Citizens Abroad

Serrato says the U.S. government is even going after people who were born in the U.S., to foreign parents, but then left immediately afterwards never to return: “Many individuals are not even aware that they are American and should be filing, such as Green Card holders and ‘accidental’ Americans (born in the U.S., left when they were three and never returned), children of Americans now living overseas (even if U.S. citizenship was never claimed)!”

“I really can’t believe it! This nice country that I respect, have they gone mad?”-Peter Hallworth, U.K. citizen, who’s two adult sons (raised in Britain) are being forced to pay U.S. taxes because they were born in the United States

U.S. expats living abroad, yet paying U.S. taxes with little or no representation.  Isn’t that what the U.S. Revolution of 1776 was all about?
