German Gold Repatriation Accelerating

“The Bloomberg headline and story suggest that the German gold repatriation schedule – to ship home 300 tonnes of gold from the US and 374 tonnes from France by 2020, in order to have half (1695.3 tonnes) of Germans official gold reserves stored in Frankfurt – will be halted as German politicians decided their gold ‘is safe in American hands’.  The Bloomberg story has reached many which are still under the assumption Germany has stopped repatriating its gold from the US and France. To get official confirmation on the continuation of Germany’s gold repatriation I asked the BuBa’s press department a few questions in August, their answers were very clear.”

FBI created fake Seattle Times Web page to nab bomb-threat suspect

“The FBI in Seattle created a fake news story on a bogus Seattle Times web page to plant software in the computer of a suspect in a series of bomb threats to Lacey’s Timberline High School in 2007, according to documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in San Francisco.  The deception was publicized Monday when Christopher Soghoian, the principal technologist for the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington, D.C., revealed it on Twitter.   In an interview, Soghoian called the incident ‘outrageous’ and said the practice could result in ‘significant collateral damage to the public trust’ if law enforcement begins co-opting the media for its purposes.”

Robert Parry: Can MSM Handle the Contra-Cocaine Truth?

“The mainstream news media’s reaction to ‘Kill the Messenger’ has been tepid, perhaps not surprising given that the MSM comes across as the film’s most unsympathetic villain as it crushes journalist Gary Webb for digging up the Contra-cocaine scandal in the mid-1990s after the major newspapers thought they had buried it in the 1980s.  The drug lords show some humanity and even honesty as they describe how they smuggled drugs and shared the proceeds with the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, Reagan’s beloved ‘freedom fighters.’  By contrast, the news executives for the big newspapers come across as soulless careerists determined to maintain their cozy relations with the CIA’s press office.”

Ukraine’s ‘Romantic’ Nazi Storm Troopers

“The U.S. mainstream media’s deeply biased coverage of the Ukraine crisis – endlessly portraying the U.S.-backed  coup regime in Kiev as ‘the good guys’ – reached a new level of absurdity over the weekend as the Washington Post excused the appearance of Swastikas and other Nazi symbols among a Ukrainian government militia as ‘romantic.’ The article finds nothing objectionable about Azov’s plans for ‘sabotage, targeted assassinations and other insurgent tactics’ against Russians, although such actions are often regarded as terrorism. For the first time since World War II, a government had dispatched Nazi storm troopers to attack a European population.”

Peter Schiff: How the Media Deceived Me

Peter_Schiff_Radio-203x3002

“I’ve purchased property there, I have an office there, I have employees there so I’m developing my connections in Puerto Rico and they’re going to grow and ultimately, I’m going to be there. I just haven’t made a decision as to exactly when. I have family here, I have a son, so it keeps me here even though I would prefer not to be. Certainly from a tax perspective and even from a lifestyle perspective I think spending more time in Puerto Rico would be the right thing to do so ultimately, I am going to be out there. I think more and more Americans from the mainland are going to be washing up on Puerto Rican beaches because the opportunities and the incentives are really, really too big to pass up.”

How we’d cover Ferguson if it happened in another country

“Chinese and Russian officials are warning of a potential humanitarian crisis in the restive American province of Missouri, where ancient communal tensions have boiled over into full-blown violence.  ‘We must use all means at our disposal to end the violence and restore calm to the region,’ Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in comments to an emergency United Nations Security Council session on the America crisis.  The crisis began a week ago in Ferguson, a remote Missouri village that has been a hotbed of sectarian tension. State security forces shot and killed an unarmed man, which regional analysts say has angered the local population.”

WaPo: Marijuana’s rising acceptance comes after many failures

“Since the 1960s, the United States has traveled on a herky-jerky trip from hippies and head shops to grass-roots backlash by suburban parents, from enthusiastic funding of the war on drugs to a gathering consensus that the war had little effect on marijuana use. Why is the current campaign for legalization resonating when previous ones did not?  Today’s leap toward legality is entwined with the financial desperation of cash-strapped states, an Internet-driven revolution in how Americans learn about marijuana and its medicinal uses, and a rising libertarian sensibility in which many liberals and conservatives alike have grown skeptical of government’s role in telling citizens how to medicate themselves.”

13% Trust U.S. Government – as Sirens Sound

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“There’s no follow-up to the jaw-dropping assertion that only 13 percent of US citizens believe government ‘can be trusted’ to do the right thing. These are not normal numbers. These are Soviet Union style numbers. Or numbers that might have generated from a poll of Chinese during the depth of the starvation generated by Mao’s ruinous Great Leap Forward. For the longest time, we’ve been told that the horrible numbers associated with US Congress – confidence is reportedly in the single digits now – must be tempered by people’s affection for their OWN congress-people. But if these larger numbers are to be believed, then the lack of support for Congress must be a fairly accurate assessment.”

New York Times: End Prohibition, Again

“[The] Sunday New York Times’ editorial calling for an end to cannabis prohibition in America, affirms in my mind, after nearly twenty four years publicly advocating for cannabis law reforms at NORML, the end of cannabis prohibition in our nation is nearly upon the rest of the country (beyond Colorado and Washington State). This is the same editorial board and opinions page that would with great frequency in the 1980s/90s publish some of the most stridently pro-cannabis prohibition editorials and columns found anywhere in the world, let alone from the urbane and ‘liberal’ New York Times, led by ardent cannabis foe, former editor and columnist A.M. Rosenthal.”

To Sell A War [1992]

“Aired in December 1992 as part of CBC programme the fifth estate. The programme was directed by Martyn Gregory and produced by Neil Docherty.  It exposes the Citizens for a Free Kuwait campaign as public relations spin to gain public opinion support for the Gulf War. As well, it reveals that Nurse Nayirah was in fact Nijirah al-Sabah, the daughter of Kuwait’s ambassador to the United States Saud Nasir Al-Sabah, coached by Hill & Knowlton to forge her infamous testimony about Iraqi soldiers removing babies from incubators, which was widely reported and repeated throughout the media.”
