Prisons, Drones, and Black Ops in Afghanistan ~ link ~ Year after year, ever more American and NATO money has been poured into the training of a security force so humongous that, given the impoverished Afghan government, it will largely be owned and paid for by Washington until hell freezes over (or until it disintegrates) — $11 billion in 2011 and a similar figure for 2012. And year after year, there appear stories like the recent one from Reuters that began: “Only 1 percent of Afghan police and soldiers are capable of operating independently, a top U.S. commander said on Wednesday, raising further doubts about whether Afghan forces will be able to take on a still-potent insurgency as the West withdraws.” And year after year, the response to such dismal news is to pour in yet more money and advisers.
In the meantime, Afghans in army or police uniforms have been blowing away those advisers in startling numbers and with a regularity for which there is no precedent in modern times. (You might have to reach back to the Sepoy Mutiny in British India of the 19th century to find a similar sense of loathing resulting in similarly bloody acts.) And year after year, these killings are publicly termed “isolated incidents” of little significance by American and NATO officials — even when the Afghan perpetrator of the bloodiest of them, who reportedly simply wanted to “kill Americans,” is given a public funeral at which 1,500 of his countrymen appeared as mourners.
The 72 Threat Fusion Centers were designed to threaten YOU ~ link ~ Hitler and Stalin would be so proud! Stirling
There are 72 Threat Fusion Centers. 50 state based and 22 urban centers set up during the Bush presidency in cooperation between the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice. They collect information from all 16 US intelligence agencies, the CIA, FBI, the military, state and local police agencies and privately owned corporations and organizations like the ADL and SPLC which some say should be registered as agents of a foreign power Israel.
A lot of their information comes from contractors. So just how many contractors does DHS employ? Senator McCaskill said DHS doesn’t even know how many contractors there are working for them. Some estimate at one time there was as many as 200,000. If you understand bureaucracies and contractors, you will realize that these people need to justify their paychecks by finding terrorists. And that probably already includes you because you are on the Internet and have opinions.
European Financials at worst levels in two weeks ~ link
1% US banks gamble $5 million per US household – $532 Trillion total ~ link ~ Reuters and wanttoknow.info provide prima facie evidence that the US 1% runs Wall Street as rigged-casino gambling to transfer wealth from the 99% to themselves. The amount of money fraudulently gambled is not millions of dollars, not billions, not even tens of trillions, but over five hundred trillion ($532,000,000,000,000).
Look at Demonocracy’s images to get an idea of this magnitude of money.
Let this sink in: $532 trillion means that the 1% US banksters gamble over $5 million dollars for every US household and $1.7 million for every American.
Debka: Hezbollah/Iranian bombing injures Israeli official’s wife in New Delhi ~ link ~ It could be that Iran is beginning to hit back at those killing its scientists. However, they have so far, been too smart to do this/take this bate. They know that they are targeted by the globalists/Netanyahu Zionists and they want to avoid a war. It is perhaps more likely that we are seeing False Flag events here. As I said a couple of days ago, the locus of the drive to begin a General Middle East War/World War III will shift to Iran, if it is true that Assad has largely won the foreign organized war on Syria. The use of various False Flag operations are likely in any move to open a direct war on Iran. Stirling
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Monday, Feb. 12: “We know exactly who was responsible for the two attacks on Israeli officials abroad and they will not go unanswered.” He was responding two attacks on Israeli officials Monday by bombs attached to their cars. One blew up in New Delhi, injuring Talya Yehushua-Koren, wife of the Defense Ministry representative in India and three others. The other one was discovered before it exploded by the car’s owner, a local embassy employee in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. Israeli diplomats and foreign officials were ordered to stop using their own vehicles and be extra-vigilant after the two attacks.
The Innova SUV car bearing diplomatic number 109 CD 35 went up in flames after it exploded near a petrol pump, meters away from 7 Race Course Road – the Indian Prime Minister’s residence. Another car in the vicinity was also damaged. The Indian police cordoned off the area and declared a terror alert.
Iran says Israel attacked its own embassies ~ link ~ Israel launched attacks against its own embassies in New Dehli and Tbilisi in order to “tarnish Iran’s friendly ties with the host countries,” Iran said on Monday, after denying Israeli accusations that Tehran and its ally in Hezbollah were involved in the plots.

Europe a Frozen Continent with temperatures as low as almost -40C – with photos~ link ~ Dr. Bill Deagle and I spoke of this type of winter coming, about a year ago on the NutriMedical Report show. The causative factor is the death of the Loop Current (from the BP Oil Disaster) in the Gulf of Mexico and its effect on the Thermohaline Circulation System and its further effect on the Jet Stream which effects the global weather patterns.
