“Four months since Egypt elected veteran Muslim Brotherhood politician Mohamed Mursi as president, human rights activists say hardliners are trying to impose Islamist ways on society.  Such actions have grabbed local headlines and fuelled the worst-case-scenario fears of moderates worried by the rise of Islamists who were tightly reined in by Hosni Mubarak but have emerged as a major force since he was swept from power. Christians say overall the atmosphere has become increasingly menacing as the presence of hostile Salafi Muslim hardliners in public life has grown more pronounced.”

“The Swedish industrialist and philanthropist Alfred Nobel, who died in 1896, said in his testament that the award should go to the ‘person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.’  The International Peace Bureau noted that the EU ‘is not seeking to realise a demilitarisation of international relations’, and that its members ‘condone security based on military force and have waged wars rather than insisting on the need for alternative approaches.'”

The European Central Bank on Bitcoins

Posted on by

“I have finally had a chance to read in full the unsigned report by the European Central Bank that I mentioned earlier this week. The report is quite impressive. The report clearly states the advantages of Bitcoins versus current credit/debit cards.  The anonymity feature  of Bitcoin is the feature that I believe could be the driving feature behind the potential success of Bitcoin. As world governments attempt to get in the middle of more and more private transactions, more and more buyers and sellers will seek anonymity.”

Feds to Bal Harbour: Hand over seized drug loot

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/1pKvkf.St_.561.jpe

“The U.S. Justice Department shut down Bal Harbour’s celebrated federal forfeiture program and ordered the police to return more than $4 million, slapping the agency with crushing sanctions for tapping into drug money to pay for first-class flights, luxury car rentals, and payments to informants across the country.  For years, the small coastal town known for speed traps became one of the most successful in Florida, with plainclothes cops jetting across the nation toting bags stuffed with cash from investigations that had no connection to Bal Harbour — and making few arrests.”

CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack

Posted on by

“Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to ‘stand down,’ according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to ‘stand down.’  CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood, though, denied the claims that requests for support were turned down.”

Missouri Lt. Gov. protests UN election monitors previously invited by Pres. Bush

“Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder (R) on Thursday warned that ‘Albanian’ election monitors who will observe polling places on November 6 are part of President Barack Obama’s plan to let the United Nations take over the United States.  Kinder said he was inspired by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who threatened to arrested the international election monitors if they come within 100 feet of a polling place.  Following a request from eight civil rights groups, the Organization of Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner, had agreed to send 44 election monitors to the United States.”

UN to investigate civilian deaths from U.S. drone strikes

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/photo_1340730126946-2-01.jpg

“The United Nations is to set up a dedicated investigations unit in Geneva to examine the legality of drone attacks in cases where civilians are killed in so-called ‘targeted’ counter-terrorism operations.  The announcement was made by Ben Emmerson QC, a UN special rapporteur, in a speech to Harvard law school in which he condemned secret rendition and waterboarding as crimes under international law.  His forthright comments, directed at both US presidential candidates, will be seen as an explicit challenge to the prevailing US ideology of the global war on terror.”

The Recovery Meme and Why It’s Just Talk

Posted on by

“The top people in Britain announce the ‘recession’ is over … and then the powers-that-be attribute its ending to the Diamond Jubilee and the English-hosted Olympics.  These are fairytales. The world’s current downward spiral is the quite deliberate result of money printing that causes first booms and then busts. Too much money always distorts the economic system. It’s an old banking trick, from what we can tell, but aided immeasurably by modern monopoly central banking. irst they expand. Then the economic rubber band snaps back, leaving people dazed and bleeding. And then those responsible begin to point fingers.”

Spanish unemployment tops 25 percent

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Woman-outside-Spanish-unemployment-office-via-AFP-615x3451.jpe

“Spain announced Friday that its unemployment rate broke the 25-percent barrier for the first time as austerity cuts squeezed the recession-struck economy.  Tens of thousands of jobs were destroyed in the third quarter, even as Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s government raised taxes, cut spending and pondered whether to snatch a eurozone rescue line.  Among workers aged 16-24 the jobless rate towered at 52.34 percent in the third quarter, only slightly down from 53.27 percent in the previous quarter, the institute said.  After more than a year of recession, the soaring jobless figures and biting cuts have prompted growing street protests.”

Nigel Farage: We Are Headed To A ‘One World Government’

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/shapeimage_222.png

“We’ve reached a point in this where, despite the massive economic the massive economic, political, and social problems that exist within the eurozone, and indeed an argument that the North and the South of Europe are diverging by the day, despite all of that, the political class have got so much the upper hand in Brussels, that, actually, they are moving to more and more extreme tactics. (This is being done) to lock countries in to a new form of government which is so far removed from any concept of liberal democracy that I think it’s quite frightening.”
