Mini-Me: Seized USG Bonds are Fake – USG Says So! + Meta-RECAP
Uncategorized
Hmmm. WHAT IF these bonds are actually real? WHAT IF this box is very, very real?
Authorities have confiscated $6trillion in counterfeit U.S. bonds – including phoney billion dollar bills – at the request of Italian prosecutors.
In Italy, eight people were arrested across the country and placed under investigation for fraud and other crimes.
The eight alleged fraudsters are accused of counterfeiting bonds, credit card forgery, and usury in the Italian regions of Lombardy, Piedmont, Lazio and Basilicata, police said.
The bonds, carrying the false date of issue of 1934, had been transported in 2007 from Hong Kong to Zurich, where they were transferred to a Swiss trust, according to prosecutors in the southern Italian city of Potenza.
Authorities said that U.S. officials had confirmed the bonds were counterfeit.
Phi Beta Iota: If the US Government was the original custodian, they would be moving this stuff via diplomatic pouches or military transport. Similarly, if China were seeking to redirect legally acquired bonds, they have other means. In our view, this is something very big, very serious, that will not be investigated to its roots. The two obvious questions: who is “root” and what is their story?

American Poverty, What the Brits Don’t Understand
Panorama Special on American Poverty A Delusional Tale
Last week, the BBC news show, Panorama, supposedly told the story of America’s poor.
Moments of the story were right, they certainly picked one or two of those responsible for America’s economic collapse out, although not a single cogent idea was expressed on the show.
Panorama simply doesn’t get it.
They aren’t slow witted, they are simply more of the same, controlled news, taking the focus from the magician and putting it on the pigeon.
Mini-Me: Iran? False Flag Car Bombings – A Mossad Specialty
05 Iran, 07 Other Atrocities, 08 Wild Cards, 09 Terrorism, 10 SecurityEd Lansdale specialized in false flag terrorism and false flag bombings for the CIA in the Philippines and then in Viet-Nam. Source.
Israel specializes in car bombings — mostly as primers (pun intended) to sell a lot of security to the paranoid, but sometimes, we speculate, to influence its “host” the USA.
Anyone willing to attack the USS Liberty and murder and maim U.S. sailors is capable of any crime against humanity. Source.
Today, against the Capitol, an FBI-enabled individual carried a suicide vest that was disabled beforehand — we suspect the FBI actually constructed the vest, reminding us of CIA giving the Iranians the complete plans for building a nuclear bomb. Source.
Below is a useful compilation of warnings about a false flag terrorism set focused in enabling an Israeli attack on Iran with US drawn in.
Most interesting is Zbigniew Brzezinski's coming over to the side of the angels.
Who Carried Out the Terrorist Car Bombings in India, Thailand and Georgia? Iran … Or Someone Else?
U.S. and Israel Point Towards Iran … But Did They Do It?
Car bomb attacks which occurred this week in India, Georgia and Thailand are being blamed on Iran by the U.S., Israel and their allies.
If Iran, in fact, carried out the attacks, it will provide a justification for war against Iran.
But did Iran actually carry out the attacks?
Let’s put aside for a moment the fact that the U.S. and Israel support the terrorists which have assassinated several Iranian scientists (and see this).
And put aside for a moment the following facts:
- The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister
- American and Israeli officials admit that they have repeatedly carried out terrorism and then blamed it on Arabs (and see this)
- Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the U.S. and falsely blamed on Iran to justify war against that nation.

Yet another first rate piece of work from my good friend Mike Lofgren.
Tuesday 14 February 2012
by: Mike Lofgren, Truthout | News Analysis
Retired Republican House and Senate staffer Mike Lofgren spoke with Truthout in Washington, DC, this fall. Lofgren's first commentary for Truthout, “Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult,” went viral, drawing over a million unique views.
Although Mitt Romney used the word “conservative” 19 times in a short speech at the February 10, 2012, Conservative Political Action Conference, the audience he used this word to appeal to was not conservative by any traditional definition. It was right wing. Despite the common American practice of using “conservative” and “right wing” interchangeably, right wing is not a synonym for conservative and not even a true variant of conservatism – although the right wing will opportunistically borrow conservative themes as required.

The Covenant-Formed Base Community: Personal Liberty, Corporate Power, and Co-creativity
I had the pleasure of spending time yesterday with Eric Harris-Braun & Arthur Brock of the Metacurrency Project, sharing thoughts about the federation of tribes we are forming, and the principles upon which this type of living systems organization should be founded. Eric shared this excerpt from the book Sanctuary For All Life by Jim Corbett, which felt powerful and true to me. I’d love to hear your perspective:
“A socialist collective and a capitalist corporation have the same organizational form, whatever the difference in their goals. Comrades, workers, and shareholders subordinate some of their rights of self-determination to a managerial command that unites them into a collective force for achieving an objective. Military mobilization is the historical taproot and conceptual paradigm for this kind of goal-directed solidarity.
This is a particularly effective way to overcome enemies, competitors, and other obstacles, whatever the means and regardless of side-effects. It is the way to defeat the Nazis, put a man on the moon, or mobilize a government-industrial complex that can compete globally. However, for human society to flourish as an association of cocreators, a common cause can’t replace a common ground of rights and responsibilities – not even when the corporate body’s directors are chosen democratically. A collectivity of comrades who serve a good cause fails to substitute for a society of friends who are free partners under no command.“
