Last week, Mikis Theodorakis -- known for composing the music for Zorba the Greek -- appeared on television and blamed U.S. Jews for Greece’s economic malaise, declaring he is “anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.” “Everything that happens today in the world has to do with the Zionists,” he said. “American Jews are behind the world economic crisis that has hit Greece also.” The composer also warned "we're in danger! Zionism and it leaders are here, meeting in our country! "This is no laughing matter.”

Another important discussion of the situation and ideas for resisting and rebuilding. Topics include Peron's strategy for rebuilding a battered currency, loopholes to bleed the middle-class wealth down, new world currency scam, privatization tales from the crypt, and frog pot ruses used to militarize the police. Essential knowledge for the public if we are to do a parasite cleanse. As Adrian says, financial problems always have a geopolitical angle.
Ellen joins Daryl Bradford Smith in a discussion of the situation. Food for thought and a review of the essential facts. Ellen recently published a piece on the successful, but short-lived, state sponsored Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Nationalized and/or State owned banks are garlic to the parasites.
In Santa Monica, it is now illegal (and punishable by six months jail time) to engage in any of the following behaviors: Washing your hair in a public restroom; Sleeping on the beach or in parks during the day; Sleeping in a car; Shaving in a public restroom; “Aggressive” panhandling. The definition for “aggressive” involves all verbalizations requesting assistance. Signs are still legal. The 9th circuit court of appeals upheld laws in Santa Monica which prohibited public feedings...A major proponent of these new laws is Councilman Bobby Shriver, brother to Maria Shriver, who is the wife of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was Shriver whom I first heard drop the phrase, “quality of life crimes.”

A fine, fine show from The French Connection. Warren Buffet plays Ken Lay. Major media start uttering truths. Big potential gold scam in the wings. Do tune in. The previous show with Ognir is also worth foll
There are many ways of interpreting the causes of the vast financial and economic crisis we are suffering in the world and, in particular, the European Union and the southern shores of our continent.
1. Joe has returned from his absence does a solo show. + New job, no joke, really, I actually have a job now. + Umunu has been under severe DDOS attacks and hacking attempts. + No guests, because he has a lot to get off of his chest about everything that has happened since the last show.
On February 12th, NIA released an article entitled, "Greece Distracting from Real Debt Crisis in U.S." in which we said, "We hope that Greece doesn't get bailed out, because a bailout would cause foreign investors to become more irresponsible than ever and create even greater moral hazards. Unfortunately, not only is it likely that Greece will get bailed out, it's possible our own Federal Reserve will get involved. The U.S. Federal Reserve has the ability to make loans to foreign central banks without disclosure to the U.S. public. European banks have already benefited $50 billion from the U.S.'s bailouts of AIG, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that the Federal Reserve will intervene due to euro-zone countries being key U.S. trading partners."

An OUTSTANDING presentation on the coming meeting of our Titanic Bankster Fraud and Iceberg. I've been following Daryl and Rafeeq's discussion for years. This is one of the very best.
Usual excellent discussion of the financial situation. Spot on analysis of Rivero's fanatical dedication to "spreading the news" of the Cathollic Church's difficulties. HIGHLY recommended.
According to a report out last week, there is huge off-balance-sheet debt guaranteed by Greece and the other PIIGS, Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain.
Ira Stoll -- formerly of the Lipsky-era Forward, N.Y. Sun, Jerusalem Post -- is a journalistic pitbull. I've heard fans describe him as an unrelenting defender of the Jews, Israel, etc. I've heard critics dismiss him as just another neocon who cries anti-Semitism too much. And then there's the people who think both descriptions are true.
Understanding the Nature of the Global Economic Crisis
The people have been lulled into a false sense of safety under the ruse of a perceived “economic recovery.” Unfortunately, what the majority of people think does not make it so, especially when the people making the key decisions think and act to the contrary. The sovereign debt crises that have been unfolding in the past couple years and more recently in Greece, are canaries in the coal mine for the rest of Western “civilization.” The crisis threatens to spread to Spain, Portugal and Ireland; like dominoes, one country after another will collapse into a debt and currency crisis, all the way to America.
The European single currency is facing an 'inevitable break-up' a leading French bank claimed yesterday.
Strategists at Paris-based Société Générale said that any bailout of the stricken Greek economy would only provide 'sticking plasters' to cover the deep- seated flaws in the eurozone bloc.
