Russia and Syria irked by US push to overhaul “opposition” ~ link ~ A senior Russian diplomat on Friday warned the West against trying to predetermine the future leadership of Syria while members of Syria’s opposition-in-exile have also bristled at the Obama administration’s suggestion that Washington will handpick more representative leaders at a crucial conference in Qatar next week.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Twitter that such attempts contradict the peace plan for Syria which was approved by world powers in Geneva in June. “Attempts by Western sponsors of the Syrian opposition to enforce a list of the nation’s future leadership from the outside contradict the Geneva agreements,” Gatilov said. “The Geneva communiqué says that a transitional governing body should be formed on the basis of mutual accord of the government and the opposition.”
Church of the Holy Sepulcher in row over massive “water bill” ~ link ~ link ~ link ~ link ~ link ~ link ~ The Israeli authorities have devised a typical Zionist scam to try to shut down on of the holiest Christian sites on Earth. Don’t stand for it! Stirling
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem has warned that it may shut its doors to pilgrims in protest at a dispute with an Israeli water company.
The church, where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified, has had its bank account frozen at the request of Hagihon over an unpaid $2.3m bill.
The dispute has left hundreds of priests, monks and teachers unpaid.
Syria foils foreign terrorist attack on Taftanaz airbase ~ link ~ link ~ Syrian government troops have thwarted an attempt by heavily-armed, foreign-backed insurgents to capture a key airbase in the north of the crisis-hit country.
The insurgents had launched an attack early on Saturday on Taftanaz airbase, located near the highway linking the capital Damascus to the volatile city of Aleppo.
Syrian official news agency, SANA, reported that the country’s Armed Forces killed “a large number of terrorists and destroyed their vehicles” which were mounted with machine guns.
The Syrian Army also inflicted heavy losses on the insurgents holed up in Hujairah on the outskirts of Damascus.
Mortar fire was also heard in Aleppo, but no casualties were reported.
On Friday, the Syrian Army seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition, including machine guns, sniper rifles and grenades, from foreign-backed insurgents in Hama. They also defused an explosive device, which was planted by terrorist groups on al-Skelbeyh-Mharda road in Hama.
Syrian troops also clashed with armed groups in Dara’a and Dayr al-Zawr, killing and wounding a number of terrorists.
Sir Winston Churchill: Zionist Hero ~ link ~ What was not generally known that FDR, Churchill, Stalin and Hitler all had Jewish backgrounds. Stirling
Jewish supporters of Winston Churchill are to unveil a bust of the British wartime leader in Jerusalem this weekend in what they say is a long-overdue recognition of his staunch and unwavering support of the Jewish cause and their desire for a homeland.
“As a passionate Zionist all his life and a philo-semite, Churchill has been under-recognised,” says Anthony Rosenfelder, a trustee of the Jerusalem Foundation, which is behind the project to commemorate the British leader. He “combined a historical understanding of the Jewish people and what the promised land meant for Jews … with realpolitik”.
You are voting for your own extinction ~ link ~ God help them if Obama and Romney ever had to participate in a real debate about a real issue at the Oxford Union. They would be massacred.
The “debates” revealed that not only the candidates but also the entire country is completely tuned out to every real problem and dangerous development. For example, you would never know that US citizens can now be imprisoned and executed without due process. All that is required to terminate the liberty and life of an American citizen by his own government is an unaccountable decision somewhere in the executive branch.
Why did not Romney ask Obama why he is working to overturn the federal court’s ruling that US citizens cannot be subject to indefinite detention in violation of the US Constitution? Is it because Romney and his neoconservative advisers agree with Obama and his advisers? If so, then why is one tyrant better than another? Why has the US constructed a network of detainment camps, for which it is hiring “internment specialists”?

Anger boils over at lack of US storm relief ~ link ~ Well we have to take care of the banksters first, and Israel, and all the wars for the banksters and Israel…so there is not much money left for Americans you know. Stirling
With the death toll from Hurricane Sandy climbing towards 100, and several million people in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut facing a fifth day without electricity, heat and, in many cases, food and water, anger and frustration has boiled over at the failure of the federal, state and local governments to provide adequate relief.
The storm, like Hurricane Katrina seven years ago, has laid bare the immense social inequalities that saturate every facet of American society, nowhere more starkly than in New York City, among the hardest hit areas on the US Eastern Seaboard.
US Navy and USMC providing some relief services from the USS Wasp for New York City area ~ link ~ The amount needed calls for a much larger US military response. The trouble most of the massive American military is overseas fighting unnecessary wars and preparing to fight even more unnecessary wars for the global banksters and Israel. Stirling
Obama campaigns in Vegas while storm victims defecate in the hallways and rummage through garbage dumpsters for food – with video ~ link ~ This is all the more maddening when you consider that the storm was man-created/man-steered by use of US Government HAARP technology. It would serve Obama right if it backfired on him! Stirling
Will Hurricane Sandy turn out to be Obama’s Katrina? When the storm first hit, the media was full of praise for the way that Barack Obama was handling the crisis. But that was just based on the bold statements that Obama was making at the time. If those statements are not backed up by actions, what good are they? Obama has always been good with words. Unfortunately, several days after the storm it has become apparent that the federal response to Hurricane Sandy has been absolutely nightmarish. Large areas affected by the storm are still without power, and authorities now say that some power outages could persist until late November. Due to the lack of power and widespread transportation disruptions, very few gas stations are open right now. On Thursday, officials estimated that more than 80 percent of the gas stations in New Jersey were closed, and the lines at the stations that were still open were so long that some people had to wait for up to six hours for gasoline.
Meanwhile, people are running out of food and they are getting desperate. There have been news reports that show hungry people rummaging through garbage dumpsters for food. There have been other reports of people actually defecating in the hallways because they have nowhere else to go. If you don’t believe this, just check out this video from NBC News. So what is “President” Obama doing about all of this? Well, after his 90 minute tour of the devastation that Hurricane Sandy caused, he jetted off to Las Vegas where he posed for pictures with Eva Longoria and did some last minute campaigning.
One would like to believe that the federal government has learned a few things about disaster response in the years since Hurricane Katrina. But instead, Obama’s big promises have turned out to be empty words and he now seems far more concerned about campaigning than about helping the people that are deeply suffering.
Could this end up turning millions of voters against Obama?
As you can see from this video, the devastation on Staten Island is absolutely mind blowing, and many people are desperate for help…
Anarchy along the Jersey Shore and on Long Island in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy ~ link ~ Hurricane Sandy is another reminder of just how incredibly fragile the thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted on a daily basis really is. Many of the hardest hit areas along the Jersey shore and the coast of Long Island have descended into a state of anarchy. More than 7 million people live on Long Island, and millions more live along the Jersey shore and right now they are getting a taste of what life would be like during a total economic meltdown. At the moment, there are still approximately 4.7 million homes and businesses that do not have power. Officials say that some of those homes and businesses may not have their power restored until the weekend of November 10th and 11th. Meanwhile, it is getting very cold at night. This weekend the low temperatures on Long Island are supposed to dip into the upper thirties. There have been reports of people diving into dumpsters behind supermarkets in a desperate search for food, and there have been other reports of roaming gangs of criminals posing as officials from FEMA or Con Edison and then robbing families at gunpoint once they have gained entrance into their homes. If people will behave like this during a temporary emergency that lasts only a few days, what would they do during a total economic collapse? That is a frightening thing to think about.
Most gas stations along the Jersey shore and on Long Island are either totally out of gasoline or they don’t have any power to operate the gas pumps. It is estimated that more than half of all gas stations in New York City are closed at the moment, and officials say that more than 80 percent of all gas stations in New Jersey are not able to sell gas right now. So needless to say, the lines at the gas stations that remain open are horrific.
It is being reported that some people are waiting in line for hours for gasoline in some areas and that state troopers have actually been deployed at every gas station along the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway.
The following is how one New Jersey mayor described the situation…
Its like the Wild West – Lawlessness takes over – with photos and video ~ link ~ As lights have begun flickering on in Lower Manhattan, residents of the Rockaways in Queens continued struggling without power, heat or food for a sixth day as their neighborhood slowly descended into chaos.
With little police presence on the storm-ravaged streets, many residents of the peninsula have been forced to take their protection into their own hands, arming themselves with guns, baseball bats and even bows and arrows to ward off thugs seeking to loot their homes.
It has been reported that crooks have been disguising themselves as Long Island Power Authority workers and coming by homes on the peninsula in the middle of the night while real utility workers were nowhere to be found.
Money Laundering and Offshore Fraud for the Rich, Economic Austerity for the Poor ~ link ~ Offshore banking is the elephant in the global economic room which the political and financial elite is trying to hide from the public view. While imposing austerity measures on hard working citizens, they are well aware that astronomical amounts of money are secretly held in offshore banks, thus lost in taxes. Where is that money from? What is it for?
Drug cartels, fraud, tax evasion and money laundering are common answers to those questions. Despite this reality and even in this era of fiscal austerity, the question world leaders avoid is: why is secret banking still allowed? Are they capable of putting a term to it but unwilling to do it because of the benefits it provides? Clearly.

David vs Monsanto – The Story of how a Lone Farmer prevailed against one of the most powerful companies on the planet ~ link ~ The most important thing to keep in mind about Big Agriculture (and Big Pharma) is that they are not just some corrupt industries putting money ahead of peoples lives. They are, in fact, deliberately engaged in “population reduction” efforts…that is in doing specific things to kill many hundreds of millions/billions of people directly and also in doing things to sicken and mentally weaken countless hundreds of millions/billions of others and to cause sterility in hundreds of millions/billions throughout North America, Europe and the entire world. They make Hitler, Stalin, Po Pot and other mass murders look like Sunday School teachers by comparison, however, the globalist/Zionist mainstream news media will not cover any of the details. Even with the silence of the mainstream news media, people are beginning to wake up to just what it is that they are doing to us. Once you are aware of the true nature and scope of what is happening, it is a real mind opener!!! Stirling
Monsanto has long been trying to establish control over the seeds of the plants that produce food for the world. They have patented a number of genetically altered food crops, which can only be grown with proper license, and the seeds for which must be purchased anew each year.
Alas, genetically engineered (GE) crops cannot be contained. And rather than being found guilty of contaminating farmers’ property, Monsanto has successfully sued hundreds of unsuspecting farmers for patent infringement when unlicensed GE crops were found growing in their fields. Many farmers have subsequently, quite literally, lost their farms.
Percy Schmeiser of Saskatchewan, Canada, is but one of Monsanto’s victims, but contrary to so many others, he refused to quietly tolerate the injustice. In a classic case of David versus Goliath, Schmeiser fought back against one of the most powerful businesses in the world.
GM corn has polluted rivers across the United States ~ link ~ An insecticide used in genetically modified (GM) crops grown extensively in the United States and other parts of the world has leached into the water of the surrounding environment.
The insecticide is the product of a bacterial gene inserted into GM maize and other cereal crops to protect them against insects such as the European corn borer beetle. Scientists have detected the insecticide in a significant number of streams draining the great corn belt of the American mid-West.
Rats fed lifetime of GM corn grow horrifying tumors – 70% of females die early ~ link ~ Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto’s Roundup chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death. That’s the conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the long-term effects of consuming Monsanto’s genetically modified corn.
The study has been deemed “the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GM food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats.” News of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across the internet, with even the mainstream media seemingly in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors… tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide.
Argentinian study finds Roundup ingredient causes birth defects ~ link ~ A study out of Buenos Aires has found that glyphosate, an herbicide created by Monsanto, and used on GMO soy in Argentina, could cause birth defects in unborn children. The most interesting thing about this revelation is that the herbicide known as glyphosate in Argentina, is also known to be connected with Roundup in the U.S.
Study finds tumors in rats fed on Monsanto’s GM corn ~ link ~ Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen and colleagues said ra]ts fed on a diet containing NK603 – a seed variety made tolerant to dousings of Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller – or given water with Roundup at levels permitted in the United States, died earlier than those on a standard diet.
The animals on the GM diet suffered mammary tumors, as well as severe liver and kidney damage. The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology and presented at a news conference in London.
The researchers said 50 percent of males and 70 percent of females died prematurely, compared with only 30 percent and 20 percent in the control group.
GMO Technology, Glyhosate Toxicity Leaving Men Sterile ~ link ~ What if the pesticides and herbicides being sprayed on your food was causing your sperm to die? What if GMO crops had the same effect? What would it mean for humanity if this “modern food marvel” (as Monsanto would like you to think) was actually making men infertile, and eventually wipe us out? Sounds pretty end-of-times-ish, but it’s happening right now. Well, studies indicate that factors like glyphosate toxicity and GMO technologies could be playing a significant role in the growing number of men who struggle with fertility.
One study in particular found that glyphosate (an ingredient in Roundup), leaves a residue on crops and this residue is “actually toxic to testicle cells.” Also, the residue lowers testosterone synthesis—this means the glyphosate toxicity lowers the amount of the male sex hormone available for the body to use.
The negative effects from glyphosate toxicity vary, but some people have been known to develop breasts, have a variety of birth defects, and have been known to experience carcinogenic effects as well. The people are also becoming sterile over time. Given the rate of consumption, they will likely be completely sterile within a decade.
Monsanto fails at attempts to explain away tumors caused by GM corn ~ link ~ Monsanto’s efforts to dismiss new evidence linking its genetically modified (GM) corn to tumors has been thoroughly debunked in a public briefing by the food sustainability nonprofit Earth Open Source.
“NK603 must be immediately withdrawn from the market and all GMOs must be subjected to long-term testing,” the briefing concludes.
