Obama tells Israel Prime Minister that the US will strike Iran if present international sanctions fail to deter it from pursuing nuclear weapons. Iran has denied making weapons and, so far, there is no proof that they intend to do so. [Since Israel, the US, Great Britain, and other aligned countries are strangling Iran’s economy and threatening a military attack, we would not be surprised if Iran really is trying to develop nuclear weapons to defend itself. If you throw stones at a mean dog, don’t be surprised if it tries to bite you.] LA Times 2012 Mar 2 (Cached)

Israel says it may attack Iran without first warning the US. [Based on previous synchronization between the foreign policies of Israel and the US, we cannot help suspecting that this is a scripted scenario for public consumption to create the false impression that the US does not want to attack Iran when, in fact, that has been a continuing priority of the Bush and Obama administrations.] InfoWars 2012 Feb 28 (Cached)

Managers of New York’s public-employee pension fund have been cooking the books to make it appear the fund is solvent. Much of the money paid into the fund was borrowed from the very fund it was paid into. These so-called loans then were classified as net assets. [A loan to yourself could be an asset on your books, but an honest bookkeeper also would show the debt to yourself as a liability: thus there would be no increase in net assets.] Market-Ticker 2012 Feb 28 (Cached)

US: Monsanto settles an Agent Orange class-action suit for $93 million in favor of residents of Nitro, West Virginia, who were injured and poisoned as a result of an explosion caused by management negligence. This is small change compared to the actual damage, but it opens the door for more litigation.

Nothing will change until corporate managers are held personally responsible for their actions.]

The silver cartel dumped 201.5 million ounces of paper silver on the market in 7 minutes to force silver prices down. [Paper silver is a contract to deliver silver that the issuer of the contract does not have but promises to buy if necessary. It is pure speculation, not a real sale of silver. The maneuver failed, because the price of silver immediately rebounded. Another very large speculator (possibly China) bought the whole thing, and the real market hardly noticed what happened.] Silver Doctor 2012 Feb 25 (Cached)

UN World Health Organization supports the publishing of scientific papers showing how to create a super contagious, lethal strain of Bird Flu. [A recent study shows that the normal strain of H5N1 has a mortality rate of only 1%, not 60% as previously claimed by the WHO and vaccine manufacturers. So now, the idea is to artificially create something that will live up to the original claim. We are not making this up.] NaturalSocietyPosted 2012 Feb 25 (Cached)

ANALYSIS
Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our “think-tank” section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.
‘Global finance: The Shylock model’ – This analysis by Adrian Salbuchi explains why bankers and the IMF have loaned money to countries, never expecting repayment of the funds. [The objective is to ‘take a pound of flesh’ and obtain real resources in exchange for fiat currency (which they create out of nothing). In other words, something for nothing. Very simple!] RT 2012 Mar 1 (Cached)

This short documentary shows how Goldman Sachs loaned Greece $3.75 billion and helped the government hide the debt from public view. It was all quite legal but as fraudulent as it gets. [This is a textbook example of how bankers rig the system, politicians gobble up the money, regulators look the other way, and taxpayers are left to absorb the loss.]YouTube Posted 2012 Feb 25
Syria makes progress quelling violence caused by rebels who are armed by NATO, but the Western media paints this as human rights violations.
