  Rothschilds Stage Revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt To Kill Islamic Banks In Emerging North African Markets
  Feb 9 2011
  
  Background: Tunisia has undergone increasing economic liberalization over the last decade: In the 2010-2011 World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report, it was ranked as the most competitive country in Africa, as well as the 32nd most economically competitive country globally. North Africa’s large Muslim populations are a vast business opportunity for Islamic banking and other businesses.

  Contrary to popular belief, the world’s finances are controlled by privately-owned “central banks” masquerading as federal government banks in nearly every country in the world [The U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, ruled that The Federal Reserve (U.S.' central bank) was privately owned in 680 F.2d 1239, LEWIS v. UNITED STATES of America, No. 80-5905].

• THE MOTIVE: FOLLOW THE MONEY
  
  Islamic banks have been eating into Rothschild profits in the Middle East because: they don’t charge interest (Shariah Law), they are growing very rapidly among the world’s exploding Muslim populations, and (in these catastrophic economic times) they are more stable than western banks.
  
  While it is a very good thing that people are freed from the tyranny of dictators, they also need to be freed from the tyranny of economic control and serfdom. The relevant moral question is: Do the means justify the end?.

  North Africa's first Islamic bank, last May
  
  Deposed Tunisian President Ben Ali’s son-in-law, Sakher El Materi, opened Tunisia’s first Islamic bank, Zitouna Bank, on May 26, 2010. Zitouna Bank is the first Islamic bank in the Maghreb region [North Africa]. The bank was a first step toward Ben Ali’s new program of extensive reforms, “Tunisia, a Pole for Banking Services and a Regional Financial Centre”, which would have undermined the power and the profits of the Central Bank of Tunisia (privately-owned by the Rothschilds and their associates). http://www.puppet99.com/?p=126

  Gog and Magog - protecting the City of London

• A central issue is their collective Old Testament fantasies – as the documentary makes clear. (Moses & Co. are a magnet for supremacist psychopaths: it's all about tribal dominance. Jesus' was not an ethnic covenant: it was an ethical covenant; same, I think, with Mohammed.) Also Israel territory's location at the confluence of trade routes. (Note: it's the land gateway from Eurasia to Africa: extremely significant geopolitically.) It's also a forward base for Western sabotage of Arab cohesion and Asian energy sovereignty.

BAE Systems Named Technology Vendor for FBI's Largest-Ever IDIQ
By Anil Sharma
TMCnet Contributor

BAE Systems, a global defense, security and aerospace company, has been selected as one of the prime information technology vendors for the FBI's largest-ever Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, potentially valued as high as $30 billion. [thirty-fucking-billion-dollars for technology related to surveillance?! What in the fuck are these people building here?]

The IDIQ, known as Information Technology Supplies and Support Services, allows chosen companies to bid on IT work for the FBI or other offices in the Department of Justice.

"BAE Systems (News - Alert) won this opportunity because of our reputation as a customer-focused company," said Tom Sechler, a vice president and general manager in the company's Intelligence & Security business sector, in a statement.

Sechler said that the company has been providing IT support and services to the FBI for almost two decades. That makes the company uniquely qualified to understand and provide technology systems and services to the Bureau, he said.

Officials with BAE Systems said that the eight-year effort entails a range of task orders that will ultimately allow the FBI to successfully complete its mission as one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the world. [is there something wrong with this picture? The world's 'freest' country in the world has the world's largest law enforcement agency?!] The work covers a variety of services, including hardware/software and related services, operations and maintenance, technical and development.

• Hidden History of B'nai B'rith
  Palmerston launches Young Turks to permanently control Middle East
  by Joseph Brewda
  
  It is clear that the B'nai B'rith is an abject tool of British intelligence, run and directed to serve the interests of British imperial policy, and not the interests of Jews, nor even of B'nai B'rith members. The one peculiarity of B'nai B'rith in comparison to the other organizations launched by Palmerston and his three stooges, is that B'nai B'rith will be used for a wider variety of tasks in various countries and epochs. Therefore, the B'nai B'rith will be more permanent in its continuous organization than its Mazzinian (Scottish rite of freemasonry) counterparts, among which it stands out as the most specialized.
  
  At the end of this century, one of the tasks assigned to the B'nai B'rith will be to direct, with the help of other Mazzinian agents, the dismemberment and partition of the Ottoman Empire. This is the state the British will call "the sick man of Europe." Historically, the Ottoman Empire offers surprising tolerance to its ethnic minorities. In order to blow up the empire, that will have to be changed into brutal racial oppression on the Mazzini model.
  
  In 1862, during the time of the American Civil War, Mazzini will call on all his agents anywhere near Russia to foment revolt as a way of causing trouble for Alexander II. A bit later, with the help of Young Poland, Mazzini will start a Young Ottoman movement out of an Adam Smith translation project in Paris. In 1876, the Young Ottomans will briefly seize power in Constantinople. They will end a debt moratorium, pay off the British, declare free trade, and bring in Anglo-French bankers. They will be quickly overthrown; but the same network will soon make a comeback as the Young Turks, whose rule will finally destroy the Ottoman Empire.
  
  In 1908, the Committee for Union and Progress, better known as the Young Turks, carried out a military coup, overthrew the sultan, and took power in the Ottoman Turkish empire. Once in power, they carried out a racist campaign of suppressing all non-Turkish minorities. Within four years, their anti-minority campaigns provoked the Balkan wars of 1912-13, among Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia. By 1914, these wars had triggered World War I, with Turkey becoming an ally of Germany.
  
  Within seven years of coming into power, the Young Turks destroyed the Ottoman Empire. British intelligence had manipulated every nationalist group in the Empire, both the Young Turks, and their opponents.
  
  When the Young Turks took power, the Ottoman Empire still included Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, and the Arabian Peninsula. The empire still included much of the Balkans: half of Greece, half of Bulgaria, half of Serbia, and all of Albania. Its land area was much bigger than present-day Turkey.

• The "Jewish" Conspiracy is British Imperialism
  
  May 30, 2004
  by Henry makow
  
  Conspiracy theorists like myself believe modern history reflects a long-term conspiracy by an international financial elite to enslave humanity.
  
  
  
  Like blind men examining an elephant, we attribute this conspiracy to Jews, Illuminati, Vatican, Jesuits, Freemasons, Black Nobility, and Bildersbergs etc.
  
  The real villains are at the heart of our economic and cultural life. They are the dynastic families who own the Bank of England, the US Federal Reserve and associated cartels. They also control the World Bank and IMF and most of the world's Intelligence agencies. Their identity is secret but Rothschild is certainly one of them. The Bank of England was "nationalized" in 1946 but the power to create money remained in the same hands.
  
  England is in fact a financial oligarchy run by the "Crown" which refers to the "City of London" not the Queen. The City of London is run by the Bank of England, a private corporation. The square-mile-large City is a sovereign state located in the heart of greater London. As the "Vatican of the financial world," the City is not subject to British law.
  
  On the contrary, the bankers dictate to the British Parliament. In 1886, Andrew Carnegie wrote that, "six or seven men can plunge the nation into war without consulting Parliament at all." Vincent Vickers, a director of the Bank of England from 1910-1919 blamed the City for the wars of the world. ("Economic Tribulation" (1940) cited in Knuth, The Empire of the City, 1943, p 60)
  
  The British Empire was an extension of bankers' financial interests. Indeed, all the non-white colonies (India, Hong Kong, Gibraltar) were "Crown Colonies." They belonged to the City and were not subject to British law although Englishmen were expected to conquer and pay for them.
  
  The Bank of England assumed control of the U.S. during the T.R. Roosevelt administration (1901-1909) when its agent J.P. Morgan took over 25% of American business. (Anton Chaitkin, Treason in America, 1964)
  
  According to the "American Almanac," the bankers are part of a network called the "Club of the Isles" which is an informal association of predominantly European-based royal households including the Queen. The Club of the Isles commands an estimated $10 trillion in assets. It lords over such corporate giants as Royal Dutch Shell, Imperial Chemical Industries, Lloyds of London, Unilever, Lonrho, Rio Tinto Zinc, and Anglo American DeBeers. [he forgot BAE Systems] It dominates the world supply of petroleum, gold, diamonds, and many other vital raw materials; and deploys these assets at the disposal of its geopolitical agenda.

“A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet," he said. "Maps of gamma rays on Mars show a big red spot that seems like a radiating debris pattern ... on the opposite side of the planet there is another red spot."

"These are oligarchical families that are extremely powerful and if you go back in history and ask yourself the question, "when did the elite, powerful, oligarchical families ever give up their power?" You can't find any point in history. These are the families that - some of these bloodlines go clear back to Nimrod. The Rothschild secret genealogy that they have secretly written down through the centuries, traces their genealogy back to Nimrod."- Fritz Springmeier on CKLN 88.1 FM.

• "I see in Rothschild one of the greatest revolutionaries [he suggests this in a negative light] who have founded modern democracy. Richelieu, Robespierre and Rothschild are for me three terroristic names, and they signify the gradual annihilation of the old aristocracy. Richelieu, Robespierre and Rothschild are Europe's three most fearful levellers. Richelieu destroyed the sovereignty of the feudal nobility, and subjected it to that royal despotism, which either relegated it to court service, or let it rot in bumpkin-like inactivity in the provinces. Robespierre decapitated this subjugated and idle nobility. But the land remained, and its new master, the new landowner, quickly became another aristocrat, just like his predecessor, whose pretensions he continued another name. Then came Rothschild and destroyed the prominence of land, by raising the system of state bonds to supreme power, thereby mobilising property and income and at the same time endowing money with the previous privileges of the land. He thereby created a new aristocracy, [monied aristocracy with no responsibility; just raw anonymous power] it is true, but this, resting as it does on the most unreliable of elements, on money, can never play as enduringly regressive a role as the former aristocracy, which was rooted in the land, [which America started as; Jeffersonian ideals] in the earth itself. For money is more fluid than water, more elusive than the air, and one can gladly forgive the impertinences of the new nobility in consideration of its ephemerality. In the twinkling of an eye, it will dissolve and evaporate." - Heinrich Heine, from "Ludwig Borne" as quoted in The House of Rothschild by Niall Ferguson

Mystery of Nick Clegg's 'Mata Hari' aunt and a plot to kill Lenin

By Will Stewart and Glen Owen
27th March 2011

Nick Clegg was last night urged to lift a 90-year ban on secret documents that could implicate one of his ancestors in a British plot to kill Russian Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin.

The Deputy Prime Minister's great-great-aunt, Baroness Moura Budberg, was the lover of Robert Bruce Lockhart, a British diplomat posted in Moscow during the Russian Revolution.

Lockhart - said to have been an inspiration for Ian Fleming's James Bond - is suspected to have been the brains behind an assassination attempt on Lenin in August 1918.

Moura, a sexually liberated Tsarist aristocrat whose colourful love life earned her the nickname the Mata Hari of Russia, was sharing Lockhart's bed in a British consular flat when Red Guards burst in to arrest them after the attack.


Intrigue: The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's great-great-aunt, Baroness Moura
Budberg (centre), was the lover of Robert Bruce Lockhart (right), a British diplomat
posted in Moscow during the Russian Revolution. He was said to have been the brains
behind an assassination attempt on Vladimir Lenin (left) in 1918

Last week, British historian Professor Robert Service, an expert on Russia, said he had unearthed evidence that Lockhart's role in the plot was more significant than he admitted in his lifetime but said his investigations had been thwarted by the classification of key documents.

'Britain today has a policy for its intelligence services that is openly averse to subverting foreign governments or assassinating foreign political leaders,' said Prof Service. [how bloody wonderful]

'The thinking in Whitehall is that the pretence ought to be that this has always been the case. That the British have always been clean.

'But the British haven't always been clean. They have been as dirty as anyone else.'

Moura, who died in 1974 aged 82, has been long suspected of working for both the Soviets and the British [which is exactly what Victor Rothschild did] and it is believed she was investigated by MI5 for 30 years.

Retired Russian spy Igor Prelin, who has researched the KGB archives, revealed that Moura was close to Genrikh Yagoda, director of the NKVD, the Soviet secret service that operated under Lenin's brutal successor Joseph Stalin.

WASHINGTON – The State Department has been secretly financing opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad, The Washington Post reported, citing previously undisclosed diplomatic documents provided to the newspaper by the WikiLeaks website.

One of the outfits funded by the U.S. is Barada TV, a London-based satellite channel that broadcasts anti-government news into Syria, the Post reported Sunday. Barada's chief editor, Malik al-Abdeh, is a cofounder of the Syrian exile group Movement for Justice and Development.
The leaked documents show that the U.S. has provided at least $6 million to Barada TV and other opposition groups inside Syria, the newspaper said.

The Obama administration has reached out to Assad's regime, hoping to persuade it to change its policies regarding Israel, Lebanon, Iraq and support for extremist groups. In January, the U.S. stationed an ambassador in Damascus, the capital, for the first time in five years.

The Post said it was not clear from the WikiLeaks documents whether the U.S. was still financing Assad's opponents, though they showed funding had been set aside through September 2010.
Syrian activists have been staging protests against Assad's authoritarian regime for more than a month. More than 200 people have been killed as security forces tried to crush the protests.
On Sunday, gunmen opened fire during a funeral for a slain anti-government protester, killing at least three people, according to witnesses and activists. Tens of thousands of Syrians took to the streets nationwide despite Assad's promise to end nearly 50 years of emergency rule this week, a key demand of the protesters.

Last week, the State Department said Iran appeared to be helping Syria crack down on protesters, calling it a troubling example of Iranian meddling in the region.
"If Syria's turning to Iran for help, it can't be very serious about real reform," spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorising covert United States government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, government officials told Reuters yesterday.

Mr Obama signed the order, known as a presidential "finding", within the last two or three weeks, according to government sources familiar with the matter.

Such findings are a principal form of presidential directive used to authorise secret operations by the CIA. This is a necessary legal step before such action can take place, but does not mean that it will.

"As is common practice for this and all administrations, I am not going to comment on intelligence matters," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "I will reiterate what the President said yesterday - no decision has been made about providing arms to the opposition or to any group in Libya."

The CIA declined comment.

People familiar with US intelligence procedures said that presidential covert action "findings" are normally crafted to provide broad authorisation for a range of potential US government actions to support a particular covert objective.

In order for specific operations to be carried out under the provisions of such a broad authorisation - for example the delivery of cash or weapons - the White House also would have to give additional "permission" allowing such activities to proceed.

Former officials say these follow-up authorizations are known in the intelligence world as "'Mother may I' findings."

In 2009, Mr Obama gave a similar authorisation for the expansion of covert US counter-terrorism actions by the CIA in Yemen. The White House does not normally confirm such orders have been issued.

News that Mr Obama had given the authorisation surfaced as the President and other US and allied officials spoke openly about the possibility of sending arms supplies to Col Gaddafi's opponents, who are fighting better-equipped government forces.

The US is part of a coalition, including NATO, which is conducting air strikes on Libyan government forces under a United Nations mandate aimed at protecting civilians opposing Col Gaddafi.

In interviews by US networks on Tuesday, Mr Obama spoke of applying "steady pressure, not only militarily but also through these other means", with the objective of having Col Gaddafi "ultimately step down" from power. REUTERS.
