Britain's Terror Heartland
Correspondent Jane Corbin makes the hazardous journey to the frontline in the War on Terror, the remote and forbidding mountains along the Pakistan-Afghan border. This is where some of Britain's 7/7 bombers were trained, where Britain's top terror suspect Rashid Rauf was apparently recently assassinated, and where Osama bin Laden may still be hiding. She meets those fighting on all sides, from US and Pakistani soldiers to would-be suicide bombers.

So, unless you're one of those coincidence theorists or you're willing to believe that the British Prime Minister plans his overseas visits to coincide with BBC current affairs programming, what you have here is a clear demonstration of the State Broadcasting Company pushing out propagandist bullshit in support of Establishment warmongering, under the guise of impartial journalism
Manufacturing consent?
Not half
The economic shit is about to go down.
Some brown people are going to have to get fragged to take our mind off things.
Those spook-ridden c*cks*ckers at the BBC are doing their bit to help make it happen

Pension blunders to be explained
Elderly couple
Affected pensioners will receive a letter outlining any changes to payments
Tens of thousands of retired NHS, armed services and other public sector staff will learn later how their pensions came to be overpaid for decades.
The Cabinet Office will release a statement on the overpayments thought to total tens of millions of pounds.
Letters are being sent to pensioners explaining how they will be affected.
Chancellor Alistair Darling has said the money need not be repaid but thousands still face having their pensions cut from April next year.
And of course, the pensions overpay is 100% bona fide, and not some cooked-up work of fiction by the scum that serves the British establishment who don't give a flying fox about anyone or anything other than grand opening of the third temple.
on the subject of Temple 3, Danny Finkelstein explains how being sucked into a Ponzi scheme is not a sign of greed, arrogance and gullibility but actually of great intelligence...
Bernard Madoff is the latest in a line of brazen fraudsters. They find their victims among the brightest of people
Personally, if were to profile the typical Madoff loser I've seen so far I think I'd plump for a fondness for lox and beigels rather than IQ as being the common denominator
First Lehmans, now Madoff. What is going on?
All very confusing for anti-zionist conspiraloons and rank and file zionists alike
Max Keiser thinks there's a war going on between the trillion/billionaires and the millionaires.
Not only are the ultra rich going for us, the poor bastards with no money, but also those that are very, but not obscenely rich.
Savers vs. Speculators
Producers vs. Consumers
It's all the same game
And, yes, the middle class is set to get a whole lot smaller
As of 2000, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governor’s own statistics, more than 70% of all U.S. commercial banks were not constrained in any way by reserve requirement ratios (this figure may even be higher today but I couldn’t find any more up-to-date statistics regarding this). Due to the complicit nature of U.S. regulators that have allowed the majority of U.S. commercial banks to virtually lend out every single dollar that they receive in deposits, and an institutional fractional reserve banking system that allows the creation of money out of thin air, any money deposited in the U.S. commercial banking system is virtually guaranteed to be returned to you with less purchasing power. In other words, every dollar that you put into the U.S. banking system, by the time you withdraw it, will be able to buy less than the dollar you gave them. And that is the biggest Ponzi scheme today.
its now the law, from the bailout bill:
SEC. 127. ACCELERATION OF EFFECTIVE DATE.
Section 203 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (12 U.S.C. 461 note) is amended by striking "October 1, 2011" and inserting "‘October 1, 2008".
which amends this:
SEC. 202. INCREASED FLEXIBILITY FOR THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
BOARD TO ESTABLISH RESERVE REQUIREMENTS.
Section 19(b)(2)(A) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C.
461(b)(2)(A)) is amended—
(1) in clause (i), by striking ‘‘the ratio of 3 per centum’’
and inserting ‘‘a ratio of not greater than 3 percent (and which
may be zero)’’; and
(2) in clause (ii), by striking ‘‘and not less than 8 per,,
centum,’’ and inserting ‘‘(and which may be zero),’’.
SEC. 203. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The amendments made by this title shall take effect October
1, 2011.

Worse still, any resistance against them is demonised as terrorism\al-qeada\religious fanatics etc.

The Fed's New Strategy: The Kitchen Sink Interest Rate Policy
The Fed announced their policy of establishing "a target range for the federal funds rate of 0 to 1/4 percent."
http://bonddad.blogspot.com/
This brings two points to mind:
1.) The Fed has no interest rate moves left. This is it.
2.) The Fed is terrified about the economy. And they have good reason:
Since the Committee's last meeting, labor market conditions have deteriorated, and the available data indicate that consumer spending, business investment, and industrial production have declined. Financial markets remain quite strained and credit conditions tight. Overall, the outlook for economic activity has weakened further.
Quoting Jefferson for the umpteenth time...
"If Americans ever allow banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless."
Cutting interest rates won't change dick. It's all about money supply and the fuckers behind the insanity know that full well
Remember Goodfellas? At some stage they end up killing off all the people involved in the Lufthansa Robbery.
Same here. Lehman and Madoff are the first in a series of unfortunate events.
and a very nicely done stage it is too
When I was broke, I'd go out and rob some more. We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking.
in the same vein and inspired by this post...
"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"
"Your winnings, sir."
"Oh, thank you very much."
It would be quite an amusing exercise to tell the tale of this economic apocalypse with a series of stitched together best bits from favourite movies; saving all the Charlton Heston stuff for the final act
"We finally really did it. Aaaaargh!!"
"Soylent Green is people!! Aaargh!!"
etc etc
well the stock markets seem to respond to zero interest rates
meanwhile in Iraq.

BAGHDAD, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The death toll from twin bomb blasts in central Baghdad on Wednesday rose to 18 people, with 53 wounded, police said.
The attack, which killed civilians and police, came as British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made a surprise visit to Iraq and met with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Baghdad.
just to remind ourselves of the official US death toll in Iraq
so far from the following have been removed from the "Theater",,yes folks life is a show,,one long moving picture show and we are the actors,,,take it away "Shakey"ma man!
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.

BEIRUT, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- The announcement about Russian donation of 10 Mig-29 jet fighters to the Lebanese army was a surprising news which raised political, military and strategic questions, local daily As-Safir said Wednesday.
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr announced Tuesday following a meeting with his Russian counterpart Anatoly Serdyukove in Moscow that Russia has agreed to deliver to Lebanon 10 Mig-29 jet fighters.
The Mig-29 would be a significant donation to the Lebanese air force which currently consists of five Hawker Hunter jets from 1950s and 1960s, and a dozen helicopters.
every single day without fail Iraqi civilians are being removed from the "theater"in their scores whilst fat cunt Brown and Bush ponce around,,,humanity thus far is a failed experiment.Here in the UK every asshole is worried about his or her financial future.Maybe some ww3 is indeed needed to shake the masses out of their dumb stupor??wipe out a few million,,,mash the fucked up infrastructure up and start again,,,,why should citizens in the UK or anywhere else for that matter enjoy a relatively cosy existence at the expense of others??The UK and US are running amok and noone seems even remotely bothered to stop them.
But hey lets not take the show too seriously folks.It is all just Maya after all.
well the stock markets seem to respond to zero interest rates
they always do, for about a day
as a general rule, central banks shoveling out mountains of paper money to their mates for nothing is not quite as beneficial for a country's economic health as it's being cracked up to be
why should citizens in the UK or anywhere else for that matter enjoy a relatively cosy existence at the expense of others??
not much longer...
I wonder if whoever comes out on top will be as kind as we were
why should citizens in the UK or anywhere else for that matter enjoy a relatively cosy existence at the expense of others??
That is the thinking behind globalised neo liberalism.
The desire is to bring the obvious benefits of the third world that has been constructed to the the first and second(whatever that is).
I think the obverse is the more important, why should others not have a relatively cosy existence?
I think the obverse is the more important, why should others not have a relatively cosy existence?
indeed why not???because we have too easy an existence at the expense of others I´d say.Through the banking scam and military might the majority of the planet has thus so far ie over the past 200 years been kept as slaves and servants to Euro/American needs.We plunder the natural resources and manpower for OUR benefit.
But hey the nature of the planet is change,,,enjoy the fuckin party.It will not last.Take your pleasure but pay the price comes to mind.
That tends to look at 'we' in the west as an undifferentiated blob, the same inequalities of political, economic power and wealth are found in each subdivision,from north london to the prison system ,just to different degrees.
When the uk was at its imperial height, it was hardly an earthly paradise for the majority of its subjects.
The only time there was significant change was in the post war period, when people became aware that there was an alternative.
Unfortunately, now we have been taught there is none, that period looks increasingly like an aberration.
