A less than stirring lecture by Obama while campaigning in 2008. However, four year later, America finds itself still trying to appease a nuclear armed Iran. If our “commander-in-chief” has led us to the precipice of nuclear destruction, I can only “hope” that our military is cognizant of the situation and will act accordingly when Israel acts.

Theresa May says “work is ongoing” to restrict European immigration in the event of a financial collapse
The Government is drawing up plans for emergency immigration controls to curb an influx of Greeks and other European Union residents if the euro collapses, the Home Secretary discloses today.
In an interview in The Daily Telegraph, Theresa May says “work is ongoing” to restrict European immigration in the event of a financial collapse.
People from throughout the EU, with the exception of new member countries such as Romania and Bulgaria, are able to work anywhere in the single market.
However, there are growing concerns that if Greece was forced to leave the euro, it would effectively go bankrupt and millions could lose their jobs and consider looking for work abroad.
The crisis could spread quickly to other vulnerable countries such as Spain, Ireland and Portugal, although Britain is regarded as a safe haven because it is outside the single currency.
Details of the contingency plan emerged as the euro crisis deepened further yesterday.

I have previously stated that, according to the plan of the communist/globalist agenda, none of the “aggressive capitalist states” shall be allowed to remain standing when they pull the trigger on their revolution. This includes Japan and Singapore, who both have been in the news lately.
Since the enemy knows that the only chance of victory is to create one big event and destroy everything at once, we will not experience the blast unless and until every country on their hit list has been weakened (culturally and financially), and positioned within the blast radius through political and social manipulation.
I had always said that the trap could not be sprung, nor the timing be discerned, until all the pieces of the puzzle were put in place. Let me point out that Japan, one of the last pieces of said puzzle, was profoundly weakened last year by the tsunami. That weakness has now visibly moved them towards their place on the stage – see below: Continue reading
The IAEA has found highly enriched uranium in Iran: 27% to be exact. The world was concentrating on their production of 20% enrichment in the current “negotiations”. The consequences of a impotent president have been exploited by Iran and Russia. Unfortunately, some consequences are fatal as in the case of a nuclear armed Iran. There is no need for further comment: we already know who is responsible for this looming threat.

Yesterday, when looking at recent naval developments in the Arabian Sea, we suggested that things involving Iran had gotten quiet. Too quiet. It appears that it may indeed have been the lull before the storm. Just out from Bloomberg and Reuters: Continue reading

Rand Paul has proved that the US Senate is not a body of the people. His amendment 2143 to rein in FDA abuse is introduced in the Senate below:

Although this amendment was defeated (tabled), it shows America who Washington is really representing. Absolute power has corrupted absolutely and here is the evidence. As usual, Senators Burr and Hagan voted against the people. If you control the food, you control the people. This is exactly why the 2nd amendment was given to the people as a RIGHT: to protect the people from the government. An Aye vote below is a traitor to the Constitution.

American ambassador to Israel has said that United State is ready to attack Iran if she does not abandon her nuclear programme. It is true that America has the power to attack Iran but if she attacks, the repercussions will be very serious. Iran is not so weak. She will greatly damage America in retaliation. Iranian people like those of Afghanistan and Iraq will fight with full force and to the last and use all available resources in retaliation. Iran will never win the war but will seriously wound America and her interests will suffer greatly.
Further the hate in the Muslim’s world against America will increase and other countries in the region will also suffer. Repercussions on Pakistan will also be serious and lasting. The people of Pakistan and Iran have the same religion, culture and history. Majority of people of Pakistan will also fight against America till last. Muslims have also the wish of martyrdom and will use all the available sources. America should not believe that only she has the fatal weapons. Today weapons of mass destructions are available everywhere and those who are against America may get these. So America should not dream that she could attack everyone. Let me advise America that war will increase problems instead of solving them like that in Afghanistan and Iraq.
America should try to win the hearts and minds of Muslims, especially the people of Pakistan who will never tolerate attack on Iran. In fact attack on Iran will be attack on Pakistan and this is true.

Israel has withdrawn its pledge to US President Barack Obama not to strike Iran’s nuclear sites before the November presidential election after he rejected its minimal demands for nuclear negotiations with Iran. This is reported exclusively by DEBKAfile’s Washington sources.
In public, Israeli ministers still talk as though they believe in results from the Six-Power talks with Iran, which Thursday May 24 limped into their second day in Baghdad with the parties still miles apart. But the presidential veto has essentially cast Israel outside the loop of influence on the outcome of diplomacy.
When Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak met US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at the Pentagon on May 17 he was told that Obama had rejected Israel’s toned-down demands for Iran to at least to halt high-grade uranium enrichment, export its stocks of material enriched higher than 3.5 percent grade and shut down production at the Fordo nuclear plant near Qom. For six months, the Obama administration tried to sweeten the bitter pill of this rejection by bumping up security aid. The latest appropriation covered another $70 million for manufacturing more Iron Dome short-range missile interceptors.
(Bloomberg) 46 hours. That’s how much time Greece’s leaders would probably have to enact any departure from the single currency while global markets are largely closed, from the end of trading in New York on a Friday to Monday’s market opening in Wellington, New Zealand, based on a synthesis of euro-exit scenarios from 21 economists, analysts and academics.
If you’ve been wondering just how many people are waking up to the fact that our civil and financial future isn’t looking good, then here are some interesting data points from Google. In case you weren’t aware, you too can “mine” Google’s search history to see what people have been looking for. Just go to http://trends.google.com and put in the search terms you want to see stats for. Looking at the graphs, The “1” line on the top scale indicates the average search rate from 2004 to the present. So, if something peaks at a “3”, then it was getting 3 times as many hits as the average at that time. This gets a bit convoluted where much of the 2004-Present period has no data… thus you will see stats indicating that interest has grown 40 or 60 times for some search terms. Point is, you can see the varying rates of interest for the particular terms over time, which is what we want. The bottom scale indicates a relative quantity of hits for that search.
Below, I offer several key phrases and the amount of activity they have enjoyed at the search bar since 2004, when Google started keeping such records:
Search activity for the term "bug out"
Based on the following information from Google, it appears that people are becoming sentient concerning the pending worldwide economic collapse. Of course the best defense against a bank run is not to have money in a bank.
David DeGerolamo
The volume of searches for the phrase ‘Bank Run’ has just hit an all-time high – higher now than even during the peak of the Lehman Brothers ‘moment’. While English dominates the language choices, the Europeans (Dutch, Germans, and French) are extremely ‘interested’ as are the Chinese…but it appears the Singaporeans are running the most scared (as we noted here) is perhaps not surprising, followed by the Irish and the Americans – with Germany a disappointing 10th – perhaps they really do not care as much as everyone’s bluff-calling hopes. It seems the fears of real ‘bank runs’ are becoming virtually ‘viral’ – not a good sign for the stability of the fictional-reserve-banking-dependent status quo. Continue reading
(Zerohedge) China can now bypass Wall Street when buying U.S. government debt and go straight to the U.S. Treasury, in what is the Treasury’s first-ever direct relationship with a foreign government, according to documents viewed by Reuters.
The relationship means the People’s Bank of China buys U.S. debt using a different method than any other central bank in the world.
The other central banks, including the Bank of Japan, which has a large appetite for Treasuries, place orders for U.S. debt with major Wall Street banks designated by the government as primary dealers. Those dealers then bid on their behalf at Treasury auctions…
I have some disturbing perspective on this ‘development’ – that secure direct link is not so that China can buy securities at a discount, or to hide their purchasing activities from the rest of the world, as has been suggested elsewhere. The primary purpose of this private, secure link is so that China can sell bonds which it already owns *back to the FED* quietly and directly, so as not to cause panic in the greater market.
