Spain’s Police Beating Everyone: A Warning To America

From YouTube:

Spain’s police state has spiraled out of control as riot police are now running throughout the streets beating everyone in sight, men and woman, young and old.

When the people demand democracy from an oligarchy that rules their subjects trough the strong-arm of a totalitarian police state the streets fill with the madness and mayhem seen in this video.

Since September 25th the masses of Spain, no longer being able to feed themselves or their families, have risen up against the oligarchy to protest further budget cuts and massive tax increases, a situation so dire it threatens their very survival.

While the masses suffer these unspeakable atrocities the poor are being robbed yet again to bail out the rich.

BOMBSHELL: OBAMA.COM OWNED BY BUNDLER IN SHANGHAI WITH BUSINESS TIES TO CHINESE GOVERNMENT

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

In an explosive report set to send shockwaves through official Washington, the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) released a 108-page GAI investigation into the threat of foreign and fraudulent Internet campaign donations in U.S. federal elections (visit campaignfundingrisks.com to download the full report).

Breitbart News obtained an advance copy of the bombshell report which reveals that the Obama.com website is not owned by the president’s campaign but rather by Obama bundler Robert Roche, a U.S. citizen living in Shanghai, China. Roche is the chairman of a Chinese infomercial company, Acorn International, with ties to state-controlled banks that allow it to “gain revenue through credit card transactions with Chinese banks.”

There’s more.

Help: I am stuck in Vimeo Hell

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

I have incredible videos from the NC PATCON and the Nullification Seminar from this past weekend. However, my Vimeo uploads are consistent: they crash.

Vimeo crashes in Internet Explorer and it crashes in Chrome.

It crashes at work and it crashes at home.

It crashes in basic and it crashes in advanced upload modes.

It crashes with DSL and it crashes with a cable modem.

The excuse is new servers but one thing is for sure,

Paying for Vimeo is like expecting hope and change from the government.

If anyone has a suggestion for a good video site other than fascist YouTube, please let me know.

Lemmings… At the precipice of WWIII

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

We have been and are being conditioned to believe a lie, to calmly accept what is purported to be “the inevitable.”

While the eyes of most Americans watched the political made for TV series ‘Presidential Debate 2012’, the trailer for the biggest James-Bondsonian type of screenplay ever produced, ‘Middle East, on the road to Armageddon’ just showed in a theatre near you. A well-connected source just secreted me a copy of the script, and if it plays out as currently written, it’s guaranteed to be a horrible, horrible ending… for the lemmings.

This mega-budget action/adventure film has been in production for some time and is soon to be released, possibly, just in time for the holidays. The writers and directors have been tweaking and honing the script to fit some recent “on location” filming opportunities. This is such an important production, that most of the “big name” actors will do anything to be in it; it’s the stuff of legends.

“United Globalista’s Studios” who’ve underwritten this production want to keep a tight rein on the script because they don’t want the twists of the plot and subplots leaked before the big premiere. Why? The studio Moguls in this case are pretty darn smart, they know how “everyone” just wants to be a star, so they are going to let “US,” the invited guests have a part in the final scenes which, surprise, surprise… they intend to “shoot” with a live audience! The studios are hoping that the invited participants remain calm, believing they will enjoy the satisfaction of a feel-good ending.

Me? I see a turntable spinning in the distance.

We are at the precipice of global conflict, WW III. The killing of Ambassador Stevens and other Americans in Libya was merely the prelude, like the opening scenes in a Bond film, but we haven’t yet grasped how it relates to the rest of the script. During the ‘Arab Spring’ we thought we were seeing trailers for several different films before the main attraction, but little did we know how seamlessly the various clips all tie together at the end. The show has already started.

Iran Reversed Engineered Captured Drone Technology in Only 10 Months?

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

It now appears that the remote controlled helicopter that was shot down in Israel was composed of radar absorbent fiberglass. It also appears that Iran was able to develop this technology from the captured US RQ-170 drone. The ability to reverse engineer this material and incorporate it into other types of aircraft in 10 months is impressive. Maybe this news will make Obama reconsider his stance not to meet with PM Netanyahu.

Two days after UAV, Patriots posted near Haifa and other parts of N. Israel

Anti-missile Patriots posted in N. Israel

Anti-missile Patriots posted in N. Israel

Two days after an Iranian pilotless helicopter breached Israeli air space, Israel Monday, Oct. 8, stationed Patriot missile interceptor batteries in different parts of northern Israel, including Mt. Carmel, near Haifa, in what one Israeli official called a routine step.  DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that the Patriot, which has extremely high interception capabilities, was in fact rushed into position as the country celebrated Simhat Torah, lest Iran or Hizballah plan a follow-up aerial intrusion and in view of the current deterioration in Syria which Turkish President Abdullah Gulf called Monday “the worst case scenario.” These batteries are only normally deployed during joint US-Israeli drills or in times of eve-of-war tension.

The IDF is clearly acting fast to correct the air defense weaknesses which permitted the UAV Saturday, Oct. 6, to fly undetected from north to south along Israel’s Mediterranean coastline over its gas and oil rigs and close to its Haifa Bay industrial center, power stations and Navy bases in Haifa and Ashdod. Most worrying was the Iranian drone’s flight over IDF’s sensitive the Palmachim rocket launch site not far from the Nahal Soreq nuclear research reactor, without triggering any early warning tracking systems.

In all, Israel’s air and missile defense systems failed to respond to incoming aerial threats from the north – Syria or Lebanon – and the West – the Mediterranean.

After the incident, a high-ranking Iranian commander, Jamaluddin Aberoumand, deputy coordinator of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, said the incursion exposed the weakness of Israeli air defenses. He told the Fars news agency, that it indicated Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile defense system “does not work and lacks the necessary capacity.”

From Zero Interest Rate To Zero Retirement: How The Fed Doomed Elderly Americans To Endless Work

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

The math of what happens when assumed rates of return go down, driven by a pro-active ZIRP from the Fed, is pretty straightforward. To make up for this, PIMCO notes that those approaching retirement have three choices:

a) save more

b) work longer

c) tighten their belts in retirement

Each of these are clear, individual family choices, but what happens when the whole of society is faced with the same dilemma? What works for one household can be grossly sub-optimal for society.

For now, let us assume that Americans would reject the idea of pre-commitment to significant future belt tightening. They may find that when they get to retirement they have little choice, but this is not something it seems they would rationally choose before having to do so.

If everyone saves more, we consume less, and therefore GDP growth slows down. Anemic growth leads to a Fed on hold for a prolonged period. If expectations for how long the Fed will be on hold are extended, low interest rates – particularly real ones – are the end result.

Given that the personal savings rate is a low 4.2%, significantly below the 6.9% average over the past 50 years, it is hard to argue that we are experiencing the paradox of thrift – at least not yet. We believe that there is a distinct wedge between households’ desired savings and actual savings driven by budget constraints. Less explored is the linkage between “working longer” and interest rates. The right side of Figure 1 shows a possible feedback loop for that cycle – which has the same end result as the Paradox of Thrift, but gets there through a different mechanism.

Obama makes fun of his debate performance

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

LOS ANGELES – Now even President Obama is making fun of his Denver debate performance.

Speaking to a concert crowd at the Nokia Theater here, Obama said the musical acts that performed for his campaign – the likes of Katy Perry, Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder, among others – “just perform flawlessly, night after night.”

A beat passed. Then the president made himself the punch line.

“I can’t always say the same,” he said.

Obama followed the crack with his standard stump speech, touting the new 7.8 percent unemployment rate as the lowest during his presidency, while slamming Romney for his proposed tax cuts and plans to defund public broadcasting.

Later in the speech, while reminscing about his 2008 campaign, he noted that he “goofed up” at times in that campaign, too.

Earlier Sunday, senior Obama aide David Axelrod explained to CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Obama’s debate effort came because he was “taken aback by the brazenness” of Romney’s statements.

America’s Hijackers – Where Are They Now?

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

Richard BurrOn October 3, 2008, 338 elected officials (263 House reps, 74 Senators and 1 President) took it upon themselves to save America from certain financial doom by passing the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, completely ignoring the will of the American people,  opting instead to fulfill a Thomas Jefferson prophesy:

“The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.” 
~ Thomas Jefferson

Texas representative Ron Paul had this to say:

“The money for this bailout does not just materialize out of thin air. The entire burden will be borne by the taxpayers, not now, because that is politically unacceptable, but in the future….our children and grandchildren will be burdened with increased taxes in order to pay that increased debt…. For years, many people have been warning about the housing bubble and the inevitable bust. Congress ignored the impending storm, and responded to this crisis with a poorly thought-out piece of legislation that will only further harm the economy. We ought to be ashamed.”

The most memorable component of that piece of treason legislation was the $700B TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program), which was scrapped by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson 11 days later in favor of the Capital Purchase Program (CPP), which injected money directly into banks.  In February 2009, new Treasury Secretary Turbo Geithner ended the CPP and announced the Capital Assistance Program (CAP), which also blasted money directly into banks.

Israeli air, tanks pound Gaza after massive Palestinian barrage. Hamas, Jihad threaten to broaden attacks

Posted on October 8, 2012 by DRenegade

Israeli warplanes, self-propelled artillery and short-range missiles attacked Hamas and Jihad Islami positions and command posts in the Gaza Strip early Monday, Oct. 8, shortly after Palestinians loosed a barrage of 55 missiles and mortar shells on the Eshkol district. Both terrorist organizations claimed they were responsible for the barrage, which caused no casualties only heavy damage to property. Israelis living within range of the Gaza Strip are warned to stay 15 seconds away from protected shelters.

Casualties from the Israeli reprisal are reported in the Gaza Strip.

DEBKAfile: Israel’s response was major because for the first time the two dominant organizations in Gaza, the radical Hamas and Iran-sponsored Jihad Islami, assumed responsibility for avenging an Israeli attack on radical Salafist terrorists affiliated with al Qaeda. This attests to the comprehensive ties of operational collaboration forged between the diverse terrorist organizations fighting Israel from the Gaza Strip.

Sunday, Oct. 7, a targeted Israeli air strike critically injured two motorcyclists, members of al Qaeda-linked groups in the Rafah district of southern Gaza. Palestinian sources reported 11 people injured including five children.
Israel also suspects that the pilotless helicopter sent by Iran to breach Israeli air space Saturday, Oct. 6, which flew in from the Mediterranean over the Gaza Strip, was jointly orchestrated by Tehran, Hizballah and Hamas as part of a war exercise Hamas conducted in the Gaza Strip on that day.

Obama - Biden

Friend —

In North Carolina, we have early voting. That means that North Carolinians like us can cast our ballots prior to Election Day — as early as October 18th (next Thursday) — making it even easier to get to the polls and make sure our voices are heard.

In 2008, nearly thirty percent of all votes nationally were cast before Election Day — so it’s a huge chance for the President and other Democrats to organize and get off to a head start.

Come join other volunteers in your neighborhood, where we’ll make sure that people in your community know how to vote early — and help to ensure they are prepped with everything they’ll need at the polls:

http://nc.barackobama.com/Come-Volunteer-in-North-Carolina

Whether this is your first time volunteering or you’re a seasoned grassroots veteran, you should come out. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by staffers and other volunteers who will get you oriented and give you everything you need to reach out to fellow voters.

You’ll be meeting up with a team of passionate, like-minded individuals, helping other folks exercise their right to vote, and helping deliver a win to President Obama and North Carolina Democrats — BEFORE November 6th.

Say you’ll volunteer:

CARTEL EXTENDS PM RAID ON MONDAY ASIAN OPEN- SILVER SMASHED UNDER $34

Posted on October 7, 2012 by DRenegade

*Updated: 2nd wave of attack in progress, silver smashed under $34
Friday’s desperate attempts by the cartel to prevent a weekly close about $35 in silver and $1800 in gold were well documented on SD (and even Kitco’s weak attempt toerase the evidence of the massive raid).
This week’s silver COT report revealed that the cartel piled on another 31 million ounces to their net shorts, bringing the commercial net short position in silver to a mind-blowing 289 million ounces.

Thus, it should be no surprise to SD readers that the cartel has just initiated another water-fall decline smash in silver.
Silver had been trading in a tight range near $34.50 over the first 2 hours of Globex trading, prior to being sent down another mine shaft to $34.20.  The cartel made 3 or 4 attempts to initiate a 2nd wave of selling, and finally triggered the raid as silver again dropped vertically another .30 to $33.90:
