An anchorwoman wearing a hijab head covering appeared on Egyptian state television for the first time in its 50-year existence on Sunday, sparking fears the move represents a further shift towards Islamism under the newly-empowered Muslim Brotherhood.
Under deposed president Hosni Mubarak, women wearing Islamic head coverings were only permitted to work behind the camera; however, in January, an Egyptian court overturned the prohibition.

Tomorrow, September 4, 2012 will be a defining moment. Mr. Draghi will release to the European Central Banks his plan to save the Continent. The plan will get leaked, no doubt, and the consternation will begin throughout Europe. Today the German Economy Minister went public and announced that he supports Weidmann, the head of the German Central Bank, in his opposition to the European Central Bank’s plans to buy debt of Eurozone countries with high borrowing costs, saying that they could not replace economic reforms. I think we may all read this as Frau Merkel’s position as well as Herr Roesler does not speak without approval. The stage is now set for battle.
I sent Dr. Fisher the following email based on the YouTube video concerning Rule 16 at the RNC convention:
Dr. Fisher,
I received this information concerning Rule 16 at the convention. Since you are mentioned in the summary on YouTube, you may want to address why you did not show up as mentioned by the writer. I have a high opinion of you and your ethics and do not believe that your actions were done as portrayed in this piece.
Thanks,
David DeGerolamo

President Barack Obama is sending CIA Director David Petraeus to Israel in a hurry Monday, Sept. 3, in an attempt to quench the flames of discord between Israel and his administration on the Iran issue. He will fly in from a visit to Ankara Sunday, where too he faces recriminations for US handling of the Syrian crisis.
Israel has a double grievance over Obama’s Iran policy: Not only does his administration spare Iran’s leaders any sense of military threat that might give them pause in their dash for a nuclear weapon, but US officials are actively preventing any Israel striking out in its own defense to dispel the dark shadow of a nuclear Iran.
Behind closed doors in Ankara Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and President Abdullah Gul are preparing to vent their anger against the US administration for tying their hands against establishing safe havens in Syria for rebel operations against the Assad regime. The Turkish Air Force has been on standby for the last two months for this mission, along with the Saudi and UAE air forces. However, none are prepared to go forward without logistical backing from the US Air Force.
They blame Obama’s refusal to engage directly in the Syrian conflict for the escalating terrorist threats confronting Turkey from Assad’s open door to PKK (Kurdish Workers Party) bases in northern Syria and the Iraqi-Syrian-Turkish border triangle. Turkey is also stuck with a swelling influx of Syrian refugees piling an unmanageable burden on its economy.

Melissa Harris-Perry had what was probably her most passionate and intense television outburst ever when she delivered a fiery monologue about being poor in America on her Saturday show.
The moment occurred during a long segment on what Harris-Perry felt was the demonization of welfare recipients as “undeserving” of aid. She clashed repeatedly with guest Monica Mehta, labeled by the show as a business and finance expert.
Harris-Perry’s frustration with Mehta rose perceptibly when Mehta said that welfare payments should not be “limitless.”
“Limitless?!” Harris-Perry shot back. “The limits currently … established under a Democratic president are appalling.”
A Republic without morality will fall. It will also fall if it cannot or will not enforce the rule of law. In the case of the United States, the government in Washington means to destroy the country where all men are created equally by selective enforcement of the law. Our two tiered justice system has made a mockery of our laws, their enforcement and our natural rights. No other example of our downfall can be greater than the Undocubus.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. One is a stay-at-home mom of three. Another is a construction worker. One is a student who hopes to attend graduate school for math and economics.
All of them risked deportation to demand greater rights for undocumented immigrants.
They, along with 22 others, arrived in Charlotte Saturday evening on the “Undocubus.”
The bus riders are part of a group of some four dozen riders who will converge on uptown Sunday for the March on Wall Street South.
The group left Phoenix in July in a small caravan led by a 1972 tour bus emblazoned with the words “Sin Papeles Sin Miedo” and “No Papers, No Fear.”
Leticia Ramirez, 27, has been arrested and released in Arizona. The mother of three who decorates cake on the side said she rode the bus to tell other undocumented workers to know their rights and how to protect themselves. She also said the bus ride has been liberating. “Since I got out of the shadows, I don’t feel afraid of what might happen,” she said.

“It is an old saying; the Devil lurks behind the cross. All is not gold that glitters. From the tail of the plough, Bamba was made King of Spain; and from his silks and riches was Rodrigo cast to be devoured by the snakes.”
-Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote
It was not so long ago that I spoke at the “Strategic Forum” which was sponsored in part by TD bank. After my presentation about Europe where I had stated, quite clearly, that Spain would hit the wall I found myself accosted by the economist of one of Spain’s major banks. Fortunately Craig Alexander, the senior economist at TD, was walking next to me and as the quite impolite lady from Spain tried to verbally incase me in the famous “iron lady” of the Spanish Inquisition he grabbed my arm and led me out to the patio to speak with some other people and so saved me from not only the diatribe of the loca senorita but from saying several impolite things which I was about to say in retort. As I consider the latest data about Spain I think of this incident and take some delight in saying, “I told you so” or other things inadmissible in my commentary.
To use the analogy offered by Senor Cervantes I would say that Rodrigo, as representing Spain, is about to be devoured by the snakes. The central bank of Spain just released the net capital outflow numbers and they are disastrous. During the month of June alone $70.90 billion left the Spanish banks and in July it was worse at $92.88 billion which is 4.7% of total bank deposits in Spain. For the first seven months of the year the outflow adds up to $368.80 billion or 17.7% of the total bank deposits of Spain and the trajectory of the outflow is increasing dramatically. Reality is reality and Spain is experiencing a full-fledged run on its banks whether anyone in Europe wants to admit it or not.

08/27/2012, the North Carolina delegation to the RNC had a breakfast meeting in which the RNC-proposed amendment to rule 15 (changed to rule 16) was brought up by NC State Republican Committeewoman Ada Fisher. At the time, Fisher voiced that she was opposed to the RNC rule change, which would give presidential candidates veto-authority over RNC delegates elected by the people of individual states. Thom Tillis, speaker of the NC house of reps., also spoke against the rule changes. Here is a link to one of the videos from the breakfast meeting, after around the 2:20 mark is where Ada specifically denounces the rule changes and the entire room of the NC delegation is in support of her stance on it, applauding: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/24999593 there are other videos from the same meeting stored on the channel.
Fisher announced that she wanted to conduct another meeting in which the issue could be further discussed. The meeting was scheduled for 3:45 pm same day. At the breakfast meeting, it appeared that NC elected position-holders and the NC delegation were in support of the Minority Report, a proposed measure to counter the rule changes, and opposed to the RNC rule changes. By 3:45, the tone had drastically changed among the elected position-holders.
I received my daily notice from the “beggar-in-chief” today but there was a twist: I would receive a free bumper sticker of my choice for my donation. The choices are shown below. What would your second choice be (first choice being none)?
Would you care for the bumper sticker for illegal aliens: ¡OBAMA! or the gay/lesbian/transgender bumper sticker?
The last line in the email is “Obama for America”. Obama’s vision of Amerika is the corruption of our principles and the destruction of our economy. Will he win in November? Based on these bumper stickers, I believe his base of illegal voters, homosexuals, government workers, union workers, welfare recipients, food stamp recipients, dead voters and voter fraud currently give him the edge. And if that doesn’t work, an overthrow of the government is still on the table.

Friend —
To thank you for your support of this campaign, we’d like to give you your choice of one of our bumper stickers.

Ben Bernanke stated last week that the lack of jobs is a “grave concern”:
The stagnation of the labor market in particular is a grave concern not only because of the enormous suffering and waste of human talent it entails, but also because persistently high levels of unemployment will wreak structural damage on our economy that could last for many years.
It appears that the “perception is reality” approach of the government to paint a rosy picture is no longer working. Welcome to “facts are reality” Ben.
The government’s bureau of labor statistics currently shows an U3 unemployment rate of 8.3%. The real unemployment rate is the U6 which is 15%. Is 15% an accurate assessment of our unemployed? According to Shadowstats.com, the real unemployment rate is 22.9%. Reducing the US workforce by over 1.5 million jobs since 2008 has lowered the unemployment rate also but this manipulation of reality has now been exposed. Add in the number of families on food stamps and welfare and our economic conditions can only be classified as a depression.
Will Ben initiate quantitative easing III? Ask yourself how many votes this will buy in the election and you have your answer.

Reuters is reporting a mass exodus of major advisers from Morgan Stanley due to “widespread technology problems have made it very difficult for them to do their jobs”. Based on other financial sites, the probable cause is that Morgan Stanley is about to implode taking clients’ segregated accounts right into the hands of a “white knight”. J.P. Morgan is the top prediction for this “honor” to repeat their past raids on private accounts. Where is Jon Corzine when you need him?

(Reuters) – Several dozen Morgan Stanley Smith Barney advisers who manage tens of billions of dollars of client money are considering leaving the firm, saying that widespread technology problems have made it very difficult for them to do their jobs, according to people familiar with the matter.
The group has hired a lawyer to argue that they should be able to keep lucrative retention payments even if they quit, and they have also drafted a letter to Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman outlining their concerns, though the letter has not yet been sent, the sources said.
Rebecca Rothstein, one of the firm’s top advisers based in Beverly Hills, spoke to him on the group’s behalf, two sources familiar with the conversation said.

Gen. Martin Dempsey was appointed by Obama at the 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. From the Joint Chiefs of Staff website:
General Martin E. Dempsey serves as the 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In this capacity, he serves as the principal military adviser to the President, the Secretary of Defense and the National Security Council. By law, he is the nation’s highest-ranking military officer. Prior to becoming Chairman, the general served as the Army’s 37th Chief of Staff.
I understand that every president stacks the military high command with people who will do his bidding. In our nation’s current situation, there will be consequences. The president is very careful to have his appointees and czars do his bidding (or Valerie Jarrett’s bidding) in the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court and now the military. But the evil that has spread to every portion of our “Feral” (having escaped from the Constitution) government is now impacting what is left of our allies.
We sit back and watch with despair as our allegiance shifts from Christian and Jewish nations to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Jewish reaction to this presidency is so profound that even NPR (National Public Radio) is reporting on the Jewish buyer’s remorse. Next week, we will see the Muslims speak at the Democrat National Convention, but no Christian or Jewish organization will be allowed to speak.
The military’s reaction to this betrayal of our nation’s heritage and principles is growing except at the “high command”. I never believed that I would see the day in the United States where people where hoping for a military coup to remove the corruption that has overtaken the government. We can have no higher level of despair than placing our “hope” in a military dictatorship instead of the will of the people.
The following excerpt outlining the “imminent failure and ruin” of Morgan Stanley would be the catalyst of the collapse of the US banking system as well as the means to steal assets from private citizens. The theft of private assets by the government (GM bonds), MF Global, PFG Best and Sentinel Group were the prelude (and test) to what is about to happen. Although this is one source of information, it appears that the collapse of Morgan Stanley is one of the worst kept secrets on Wall Street as verified by any Internet search engine.
Based on the above test cases, the government will not protect your private assets when this occurs. As stated previously in multiple articles, get your money out of the banks and the stock market.
