Lord Stirling’s news blog EUROPE

Bam! Bam! Bam! Huge financial bombs just got dropped all over Europe ~ link ~ The European debt crisis has just gone to an entirely new level. Just when it seemed like things may be stabilizing somewhat, we get news of huge financial bombs being dropped all over Europe. Very shortly after U.S. financial markets closed on Friday, S&P announced credit downgrades for nine European nations. This included both France and Austria losing their cherished AAA credit ratings. When the credit rating of a country gets slashed, that is a signal to investors that they should start demanding higher interest rates when they invest in the debt of that nation. Over the past year it has become significantly more expensive for many European nations to borrow money, and these new credit downgrades certainly are certainly not going to help matters. Quite a few financially troubled nations in Europe are very dependent on the ability to borrow huge piles of cheap money, and as debt becomes more expensive that is going to push many of them over the edge. Yesterday I wrote about 22 signs that we are on the verge of a devastating global recession, and unfortunately that list just got a whole lot longer.

Over the past several months we have seen quite a few credit downgrades all over Europe, but we have never seen anything quite like what S&P just did. Standard & Poor’s unleashed a barrage of credit downgrades on Friday….

LePen vows to balance France’s books and quit Euro ~ link ~ Marine Le Pen said on Thursday she would balance France’s books if elected president by leaving the euro, slashing immigration, taxing imports and tapping the central bank for cheap loans instead of the debt markets.

Bain Capital (think Mitt Romney) owns Clear Channel (Rush Limbach, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, etc.) ~ link ~ Wouldn’t it be great if a Republican presidential candidate could just buy the support of just about every major conservative talk show host in America? Well, it may not be as far-fetched as you may think. Clear Channel owns more radio stations (850) than anyone else in the United States. They also own Premiere Radio Networks, the company that syndicates the radio shows of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck, among others. Needless to say, Clear Channel basically owns conservative talk radio in the United States. So who owns Clear Channel? Well, it turns out that Bain Capital is one of the primary owners of Clear Channel. Yes, you read that correctly. The company that Mitt Romney ran for so long is one of the “big bosses” over virtually all conservative talk radio in America. Of course Mitt Romney is not running Bain Capital anymore. He is a “retired partner”, but he still has a huge financial stake in Bain Capital. We’re talking about millions upon millions of dollars. If you doubt this, just check out page 34 of this public financial disclosure report. So if you have been wondering why so many conservative talk show hosts are being so incredibly kind to Mitt Romney, this just might be the answer.

In the media world, there is a clear understanding that you simply do not bite the hand that feeds you. Some of the most prominent conservative talk radio hosts are earning tens of millions of dollars a year.

If you were making tens of millions of dollars a year, wouldn’t you be very careful to avoid offending your boss?

South Carolina Primary: Ron Paul surges past Santorum into Top Tier ~ link ~ Ron Paul has surged past Rick Santorum into the top tier in South Carolina, gaining a staggering 11 per cent in the last week alone to climb to third with a total of 20 per cent, with Mitt Romney’s first place position at 29 per cent looking increasingly vulnerable.

Judge tosses lawsuit: Ron Paul and Mitt Romney only candidates on Virginia ballot ~ link ~ The decision means — for now, anyway — that Perry, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman and Newt Gingrich will be left off the March 6 ballot after failing to meet a state requirement to collect 10,000 signatures in support of their respective campaigns.

Louisiana GOP Caucus date delayed for fear of a Ron Paul win ~ link ~ Yesterday, THE DEAD PELICAN reported that there was growing frustration over the fact that the Louisiana Republican presidential caucus had not yet been scheduled.

Many fear that the caucus could be pushed back as far as April. If that were to happen, Mitt Romney would benefit. This has led to rumors that Romney’s people are pressuring the Louisiana State Central Committee’s Executive Committee to push the Caucus back.

Record snow in Anchorage – 27 foot snowfall and more to come – with photos ~ link ~ Since the BP Oil Disaster (and the Obama Administration approval of tons of dispersants to sink the oil), the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico has not existed. This is normally a very key part of the Thermohaline Circulation System of the Atlantic Ocean. The loss of so much heat from this System has effected the Jet Stream and this has caused weather pattern changes globally in the last almost two years. The mainstream news media will not report this, nor give coverage to the fact that the BP Oil Disaster was NOT an accident. That Goldman Sachs and key BP insiders sold large amounts of BP stock weeks before the Disaster. BP and all Gulf of Mexico oil companies have known since the late 1950s that the area contained a massive salt dome and was a ‘never drill here’ area. Stirling

Single mom adopts best friend’s five children after they lose both parents in six months ~ link ~ You know, I spend most of my time linking stories about and writing about corrupt evil politicians and banksters and the like, who are determined to rob us all and maybe kill most of us in WWIII. It is so refreshing to link a story about someone who is a decent human being! I don’t know the address, but if you can, send this lady some money…I am sure she can use the help. God bless her and the kids and her friends that died.

Carter: Egypt military not to quit power ~ link ~ “My guess is that the military would like to retain as much control as possible for as long as possible, still accepting the results of the revolution and the election process that’s underway,” Carter said in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Thursday.

The ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces took over after the ouster of the former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak in a popular revolution in February.

Is This Land Made for You and Me – Or for the Super-Rich ~ link ~ “Is this land made for you and me?” A mighty good question. The biggest domestic story of our time is the collapse of the middle class, a sharp increase in the poor, and the huge transfer of wealth to the already rich.

In an era of gross inequality there’s both irony and relevance in Woody Guthrie’s song. That “ribbon of highway” he made famous? It’s faded and fraying in disrepair, the nation’s infrastructure of roads and bridges, once one of our glories, now a shambles because fixing them would require spending money, raising taxes, and pulling together.

Most print newspapers in the States have only a five-year life span left ~ link ~ One key problem is that 96% of the mainstream news media is owned by only 6 globalist controlled companies and ran by hard core Zionists. Since they don’t know how to tell the truth or to engage in creditable journalism, their rags are mostly about advertising and propaganda. Even “Joe Six-Pack” knows something is not right and just is not interested in them anymore. Stirling

22 Signs that we are on the verge of a devastating global depression ~ link ~ 2012 is shaping up to be a very tough year for the global economy. All over the world there are signs that economic activity is significantly slowing down. Many of these signs are detailed later on in this article. But most people don’t understand what is happening because they don’t put all of the pieces together. If you just look at one or two pieces of data, it may not seem that impressive. But when you examine all of the pieces of evidence that we are on the verge of a devastating global recession all at once, it paints a very frightening picture. Asia is slowing down, Europe is slowing down and there are lots of trouble signs for the U.S. economy. It has gotten to a point where the global debt crisis is almost ready to boil over, and nobody is quite sure what is going to happen next. The last global recession was absolutely nightmarish, and we should all hope that we don’t see another one like that any time soon. Unfortunately, things do not look good at this point.

The following are 22 signs that we are on the verge of a devastating global recession….

11 Shocking Home Invasion horror stories ~ link ~ When I was a child, most people did not lock their homes, even at night. The globalists and their political whores have manged to damage our morals, to ruin our economy, destroy the lower and middle classes, introduce the drug culture, dumb down the population, and in general play Hell with us all over the last half century.

Dumb as a Rock: You will be absolutely amazed at the things that most US high school students Do Not Know ~ link ~ Are we raising the stupidest generation in American history? The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly shocking. They indicate that U.S. high school students are basically as dumb as a rock. As you read the rest of this article, you will be absolutely amazed at the things that U.S. high school students do not know. At this point, it is really hard to argue that the U.S. education system is a success. Our children are spoiled and lazy, our schools do not challenge them and students in Europe and in Asia routinely outperform our students very badly on standardized tests. In particular, schools in America do an incredibly poor job of teaching our students subjects such as history, economics and geography that are necessary for understanding the things that are taking place in our world today. For example, according to a survey conducted by the National Geographic Society, only 37 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can find Iraq on a map of the world. According to that same survey, 50 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can’t even find the state of New York on a map. If our students cannot even find Iraq and New York on a map, what hope is there that they will be able to think critically about the important world events of our day?

Sadly, almost every survey or study about high school students that gets done shows that most of our students are not even receiving a basic education.

The plain truth–no matter how uncomfortable or painful it may be–is that we have already lost our country to a band of thugs who have looted our treasury (that which all taxpayers used to own), burned our US Constitution and is in the process of decimating the rest of the USA at and on every level. And the biggest problem is that some of us have allowed–even welcomed–it to happen. The country that my ancestors fought and died to build has been annihilated. The only question remaining is: Are there real humans left who crave liberty, freedom and God enough who want to fight for and rebuild it? Are there?

Why the US is No Longer a Productive Nation ~ link ~ It is not just the GOP, the Democrats are just as bad. The key thing is that the political class is owned by the Global Banking Cartel criminals and the Zionists. And to both, we are just a people to be used and discarded. Stirling

A nation in which just 1 percent owns more than the remaining 99 percent is an economy on the very brink of collapse. It has happened many times in the past. The best example is Rome. Like the U.S. today, Rome was a teeming city of the very, very poor. Many were refugees from nations that had been conquered by Rome. Like the U.S. today, the currency of Rome –the sesterces –was essentially worthless, a mere ‘token’ that would admit you to the Gladiator ‘games’ in the Coliseum.

By impoverishing the U.S. middle class, the GOP capitulated to China which found –in GOP America –a market for its cheap output, the price of which is not found on the label or the check out counter. It is found in the GOP destruction of the American labor movement, American productivity, the American ‘standard of living’, and, of course, our very futures.

Theory and Practice in the “Occupy Movement” ~ link ~ There is no blueprint for movement building, but general principles can be erected based on the revolutionary experiences of the past. The key strategies of Occupy should be based on those ideas that unify and promote collective action against the 1%.

Ultimately Occupy needs to organize for power; we need a greater power to displace the current power of the 1%. This doesn’t mean that we must adopt the same forms of power utilized by the state, but that new ones must be created, while using EVERY opportunity within the existing structure to organize, educate, and mobilize working people.

Luckily, an upcoming action has the potential to put the above ideas into action. The current struggle of the Longview, Washington ILWU Local 21 is a chance to see real power in action. The Longview Longshoremen have asked for Occupy’s support to create massive mobilizations against the union busting corporate-conglomerate EGT. Hopefully this action has the potential to unite Occupy in practice over a concrete struggle. If the action– or actions– are effective it will prove that Occupy needs to organize and mobilize in large numbers over issues that connect with working people — proving that theory is best learned in action.
