IRAN – Does it deserve a Fair Hearing?

I believe so.

Israel has clearly demonstrated and enacted its policies of aggression, violence, invasion and occupation.

Indeed, the US, UK, France and NATO, together with the UN not far behind in encouragement, if not direct involvement, have also clearly demonstrated and enacted these same policies.

Iran has not been shown to be involved in any conflicts except the Iraq war instigated by the US. They may have voiced opposition to Israel. They may have been insulted by the US  interference in their country. They may be insulted by the sanctions and sanctimonious compulsory searches for nuclear warfare capability imposed by the UN.

For all the countries fully equipped for nuclear warfare to insist that Iran must be prevented from the same ‘privilege’ is hypocritical and unjustified. This is IF, in fact, Iran desires the capability.

But the assumption that they are striving for and could achieve nuclear capability and that they would be any less aware of the suicidal result of a nuclear first strike than any other already-equipped country, does not justify the verbal attack, the actual threat of war and certainly not justify actual war.

It is simply the continuation of the warmongering by the above mentioned “usual suspects” to achieve total control in the Middle East.

This brings us to the ‘Hidden Agendas’ post ” Iran’s readiness to talk over its controversial nuclear program! “.

Tehran has reiterated its readiness to resume nuclear talks with major powers to discuss the country’s controversial nuclear program. That’s while Israel has stepped up its stance against Iran – with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Tehran’s aggression must be stopped. He repeated his claims that Iran was behind recent bombings allegedly targeting Israelis in India, Georgia and Thailand.

Israel says there are links between the incidents – despite authorities in India and Thailand saying there’s no such evidence, and Iran denying any involvement. Tehran in turn says Israel is waging a psychological war that many fear might pave the way for military action. Political analyst Chris Bambery explains why he thinks Israel is acting as it is.

How the Medical Profession Covered Up Vaccine Injuries and Called it ‘Child Abuse’

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

This refers to a ‘VacTruth’ post by , concerning access to documents proving that some vaccines can have serious side-effects, important information is routinely covered up or made ” not for public view”, some parents have been unjustly blamed for harming their children, persons trying to publicly reveal the truth are vilified and persons involved in hiding the truths are rewarded with knighthoods.

Enough said. Here is a small extract, actually the ending, from their post:

It is interesting to see some seventeen years after Blakemore-Brown’s first concerns that MSBP was a cover being used to hide cases of vaccine injury; the proof that lay hidden for all those years is at last being discovered.

There are some of us who never doubted for one moment that she was correct and something very sinister was going on, however, proving it was another thing. I doubt if Blakemore-Brown will be surprised to see the level of corruption and utter deceit hidden in these documents. It is about time the governments and pharmaceutical companies were exposed for their lies and hypocrisy and Blakemore-Brown along with the many others who have been fighting for the families falsely accused of MSBP and SBS were vindicated and apologized to.

The fact that Meadow not only tried to misdirect committees discussing vaccine dangers and cot death but contributed in a memorandum outlining guidelines for the treatment of anaphylaxis called ‘Immunization Against Infectious Diseases’ is totally beyond belief, especially when it has been reported that he stood up in court and assured a jury in a murder case that vaccines could not have been responsible for the death of her child.  I have been told by mothers falsely accused that he denied vaccines were responsible for the deaths of other babies in their trials as well. Let us hope that at last these parents will get the justice they deserve and their children can be laid to rest in peace at long last.

It is my opinion that for the crimes that this man has committed he should be striped of his knighthood.

Health – 12 top food choices for a healthy heart

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

Natural News posts this very worthwhile article by Tony Isaacs.

(NaturalNews) When it comes to eating for good health, choosing foods for heart health should be at the top of the list. The heart is the organ that literally keeps us going – delivering nutrients, oxygen and disease fighters throughout the body. Cardiovascular disease also happens to be the leading cause of death in the U.S., ranking just ahead of cancer.
There are several foods which can help give us a healthy heart and cardiovascular system – especially if they are chosen in their healthiest whole food forms. Instead of processed foods found on grocers’ shelves, choose fresh whole foods which you can eat with little or no processing and cooking. Certified organic whole foods are the best choice of all.

Top foods for a healthy heart

Cayenne pepper
Cayenne has been called “the king of herbs” for good reason, and that is especially true when it comes to heart health. It is loaded with antioxidants and other valuable compounds which help protect the heart and arteries.
As the famed herbal healer Dr. Shulze said, “If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other.”
Spinach
Popeye’s favorite vegetable is a delicious, nutritious fighting machine when it comes to heart health. Included among the many heart-healthy compounds in spinach are: potassium, folate, calcium, betaine, antioxidant carotenoid lutein and nitrate. Spinach is also one of only two plant sources of co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) which is vital for heart and muscle health.
Blueberries
Blueberries are one of our most powerful disease-fighting foods. They get their dark blue color from the powerful antioxidant anthocyanins and they are packed with heart-healthy fiber and vitamin C.
Salmon
This cold-water fish is packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and is also a great source of protein. You can also get plenty of omega-3s from pollock, tuna, herring, mackerel and swordfish.
Legumes
Legumes, including beans, are full of protein, are virtually fat-free and are loaded with fiber, iron, calcium and potassium.
Fresh beans may take longer to soak and cook than canned ones, but they taste better, aren’t packed with sodium and preservatives and they’re less expensive.
Nuts
Nuts are a great source of healthful proteins, vitamins, minerals and monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats raise good cholesterol levels and escorts bad cholesterol to the liver, where it’s filtered from your body.
Oats
Grandma referred to fiber as “roughage” and we need plenty of it each day. Oats are a good way to get it. Oats are a great source of fiber as well as vitamins and minerals. Oatmeal topped with blueberries gives you a super heart-healthy breakfast.
Broccoli
This green super-veggie gives you vitamins C and E, calcium, folate, fiber and beta-carotene. Along with spinach, broccoli is a rare natural source of CoQ10. Broccoli is healthiest if eaten raw or lightly steamed.
Asparagus
Asparagus is another supremely healthy vegetable. It contains significant amounts of folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and beta-carotene. Try lightly steaming asparagus in butter and lemon juice along with minced garlic and perhaps a touch of sea salt.
Flaxseed
Flaxseed has loads of fiber, omega-3s and other beneficial nutrients. Not normally eaten by itself, flaxseed goes great as a salad topper and in muffins, cereal and cookies.
Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are delicious (especially when mashed) and are a great source of beta-carotene, fiber and vitamins A, C and E.
Garlic
Garlic helps maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels and helps prevent atherosclerosis. Garlic is healthiest when fresh or freshly crushed, as well as in fermented form and garlic oil

AGW – Skeptics are winning: “The carbon market is dead”

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

JoNova’s post tells the story of the downhill run for carbon trading.

The collapse of the Man-Made Myth continues apace. You may not read headlines as such (at least not in major dailies) but all the signs are there.

People who we never would have imagined speaking against the Big Scare Campaign are now doing so. Key glaciers are not melting and corals are happy. Governments won’t tell you it’s over, but they are behaving that way (the Australian one excepted, due to an election fluke that gave the Greens the balance of power). The Catholic Herald headlined it:  Is the ‘anthropogenic global warming’ consensus on the point of collapse?

Source Barchart.The last year of carbon trading in EUR’s continues to fall. (Click to enlarge).

Mini update: The carbon market is being referred to as “dead”. Johannes Teyssen, chief executive of Germany’s EON, urged policymakers to make fixes. “Let’s talk real: the ETS is bust, it’s dead,” Mr Teyssen said in Brussels this week, adding: “I don’t know a single person in the world that would invest a dime based on ETS signals.” [full story: Financial Times]. Point Carbon analysts have downgraded the forecast price of carbon credits for the second time in two months as the carbon market continues to slide. What was estimated to be 12 Euros, has fallen to 9 euros for 2012, and 8 euro’s for 2013. It’s a long way below $23, set by our Australian “free-market-lovin’-Labor-Party”. (If only they knew what a free market was.)

Are the Aussie Banks Secure?

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

English: dark green - IMF members; light green...

Image via Wikipedia

This article from the CEC (Australia) media release 2nd Feb this year suggests not.

I am no financial expert, except that I can recognise bankruptcy when I see liabilities exceeding assets. Borrowing more money to provide cash-flow only exacerbates this, delays the inevitable crash, unless debts are forgiven. That is another story, unfortunately being played out world-wide under the name of Global Financial Crisis.

Here we have an opinion. It is offered in the hope it is wrong, but with the suspicion that it is not.

IMF warning

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) last week practically ordered the Australian banks to squirrel away billions of dollars in extra capital reserves, to prepare for what one U.S. analyst called an impending “bloodbath”in the Australian property market.

The IMF was acknowledging two things: that Australia’s banks are dangerously exposed to property values; and those property values are wildly overvalued, i.e. the market is a bubble.

In other words, Australia’s financial system is in exactly the same mess as those of Ireland and Spain before their banks blew out under their debt burdens.

Petrified bankers

An even more telling insight into the state of the banks came from a chorus of bankers themselves this week, in the lead-up to the monthly Reserve Bank meeting on interest rates.

“Bank bashers ‘risk economy’” accused a headline in The Australian on 30thJanuary, summing up the message of bankers such as former NAB CEO Don Argus, current NAB chairman Michael Chaney, and Future Fund chairman and former CBA boss David Murray.

The bankers are anticipating that the Big Four banks will almost definitely notpass on in full any RBA interest rate cuts for the foreseeable future, and are hyperventilating to pre-emptively defend them, in a backhanded admission that if the banks behave as nicely as the public might expect, they will go bust.

In the current monetarist financial system, that is absolutely true.

The reason why is that the government-guaranteed loans taken by Australia’s panicked banks (including the very desperate Macquarie Bank) at the height of the “GFC” in late 2008, without which they would have been “insolvent sooner rather than later”,had maturities of three, four and five years.

The first of those, the three-year loans, fall due this year; by 2014 at least $65 billionin government-guaranteed loans must be repaid or refinanced.

Because the banks must refinance these loans without the government guarantee, which expired (the government must now wish they hadn’t believed their own propaganda about the crisis being over), the refinancing on the banks’ own double-A credit rating, rather than the government’s triple-A rating, is much more expensive.

In fact, the interest rate they’ll have to pay to roll over is almost double what they paid under government guarantee. For that reason, the banks are determined not to pass on any RBA rate cuts in full.

Weighing in to also lobby for the banks under the headline “Bashing the banks could end up bashing you”, Murdoch finance spruiker Terry McCrann revealed in Melbourne’s 31st January Herald Sunthat the CBA owes $631 billion. Roughly half of that is in the form of low-interest customer deposits, but the balance is in higher-interest loans, including from foreign investors, and it completely dwarfs the bank’s capital base of $37 billion.

Glass-Steagall

Citizens Electoral Council leader Craig Isherwood today noted that the panic about Australia’s banks is long overdue:

“For years the authorities have either been lying about our ‘sound’ banks, or in denial, but now reality is sinking in,” Isherwood said.

Now we come to their proposed solution. Again, I cannot do other than include it here in good faith. Lyndon La Rouche is the only financial expert I have read who predicted the financial crash, years in advance.

His explanation of how this debacle has come about makes absolute sense. His ideas on solving the situation are, as he says, probably the only way forward.

For your consideration:

“The question is, what do we do about it? The Australian people must not allow the bankers and their agents in the major parties to dictate the response, or else the people will be slammed with austerity budget cuts to prop up the banks’ bad debts, just like we are witnessing in Europe.

“The only solution to the world banking crisis is Lyndon LaRouche’s call for a global Glass-Steagall: separate commercial banking from investment banking, and write off the trillions of dollars in gambling debt and derivatives obligations that are sinking the world economy.”

Read all the information here.

Given that our banks are raising interest rates against the RBA guidelines, shedding staff, investing in overseas labour, yet listing exorbitant profits, conclusions are difficult to arrive at. If all was well the former moves could not be justified. The latter, profit taking, is probably simply pure greed and may even signify lack of confidence in the future.

Greece – The theatre stage for the NWO game plan

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

The plan was afoot back in 2008. If this doesn’t convince the reader that the public is told lies, and that world government and control is the name of the game, please comment on this post.

Rothschild’s Secret “Solution” to Greek “Problem”

First Posted May 18, 2008
Greece was chosen to play the role of  the European Union bankrupt member state in order to “create” the big  problem to which the European Union is going to “find” the “solution”  soon.
by Jean D’Eau in Budapest (for Henrymakow.com)
A friend of mine who is a now a disillusioned high ranking member of the Jewish Freemasonry in Budapest has told me what is coming regarding the Greek crisis.
Greece was chosen to play the role of the European Union bankrupt member state in order to “create” the big problem to which the European Union is going to “find” the “solution” soon.
Greece was chosen because it symbolizes Europe (nobody in Europe cares about countries like Hungary or Estonia) and because its economy was relatively easy to devastate after it renounced its own currency.
The European “elites” are using Greece to persuade the sheeple that if the Greek problem is not fixed,  Southern Europe will go bankrupt which will trigger the collapse of the whole European financial system and thus the bankruptcy of the whole European economy.
The “problem” is that the so-called Eurozone (where the euro currency replaced the national currencies) is doomed to collapse since the Southern European states (as well as the Eastern ones) cannot sustain their economy if they can’t devalue their own currency in order to boost export and tourism (they are now sucked to the euro currency.)
That’s where corrupt globalist politicians played their role in weakening their own economy by every means but the current “global recession” triggered by the international Khazar bankers was the main part of the plan to bring the Southern and Eastern European economies to a breaking point as well as to weaken the US economy and collapse the Chinese, Indian and Russian economies.
The “only solution” soon to be proposed soon by the EU is to suppress the national fiscal and budgetary policies in Europe and have a centralized European budget. All European states will have to send most of their tax money to a central European government and the national budgets will be established by this central government too.
It is going to be a bit more complicated but it will mean that the European national governments will cease to exist. In parallel, the European Union is already announcing the “necessary” creation of a big European Army to match the predominant military power of the US in the NATO.
As you already know, the international bankers are indeed mainly European bankers (Rothschild and co.) and these are the real brains behind the man-made global recession (just as they are behind the “global warming” scam.)
Thus the European “elites” are now on the way to becoming more powerful than the traditional US “elites”. All they need is to make the European Union a real superstate (centralized taxation and budgetary policy) with a real super army (the coming European Army.) Then, the US “elites” will be forced to merge the US into the EU and not the opposite as they would like.
The resulting “UNION” (this is the projected label) would be an empire ruled by the money powers whose ancestor ruled the Khazar empire at that time. If anybody still believes that the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion“ is a fake, wait until the plan above is fulfilled and they will wake up in an “Elders of Zion” world. Unless of course America, China or Russia can stop the rise of the new Khazar empire.

WUWT Roundup

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

In reblogging this (or any) WUWT post, I may be being lazy but two other aims are achieved. A virtually unequivocal support for his blog and a little extra exposure to the world. Miniscule, actually but it should all add up to something useful. In Anthony’s Roundup, some particularly interesting items are to be found, e.g.:

Bureaucracy v. Science: One of the great disappointments in science over the past few years is the extent to which scientific organizations, which once proudly considers themselves independent, have succumbed to government policy, indeed have become agents of government policy.

Today, the leadership of many science societies have embraced the official global warming position of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – that climate change is unusual, which it is not, and that human are responsible for climate change, largely through emissions of carbon dioxide. The view represents an appalling ignorance of the earth’s climate history and fails to establish the scientific basis for the claim that atmospheric carbon dioxide causes substantial global warming.

…….the public was deceived by the Prime Minister and her cabinet and the government adopted a carbon tax, contrary to campaign promises of the Prime Minister. As he states: “The 2011 climate year, then, as judged from both media coverage and new scientific literature, has confirmed the existence of two entirely parallel universes of climate thought.” One universe is that independent scientific thinking and public opinion moving away from climate alarmism. The second universe, represented by the IPCC and the Australian government, is continued projection of climate alarmism. For this compelling review of the year, please see link under “Challenging the Orthodoxy.”

Voodoo Science: The 2007 Assessment Report (AR4) of the IPCC claimed that the ice and snows covering the Himalayan would melt by 2035. This so upset the government of India that it commissioned its Himalayan expert, V.K. Raina, to make an independent study – finding there was no general trend. The report was independently reviewed by Australian glacier expert Cliff Ollier, a TWTW reader, who declared the findings of V.K. Raina were splendid and the IPCC claims are “unsupported, unscientific, and wrong.” [TWTW: 2010/11/13] When presented with the study, IPCC Chairman, Rajendra Pachauri, declared it “Voodoo Science.”

A great deal of sensible and realistic information supporting our criticisms of the ongoing AGW “scam”.

How can this not be significant?

Martin Hovland, an “expert reviewer for the IPCC Working Group 1 on the up-coming Assessment Report 5”,   “can no longer bear to support the AGU”,  because he knows the AGW science is not valid and does not support the global carbon control impositions on the world’s countries.

Still a long way to go, but as one of the published comments said “another brick out of the wall” contributing to the crumbling AGW structure.

U.S. officials tell NBC News: ‘Israel teams with terror group to kill Iran’s nuclear scientists’

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

Iran: Caravanserai

Iran: Caravanserai (Photo credit: Erwin Bolwidt)

This Sott.net post clearly alleges the involvement of Israel in the violence and assassinations in Iran.

Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.
The group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.
The attacks, which have killed five Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 and may have destroyed a missile research and development site, have been carried out in dramatic fashion, with motorcycle-borne assailants often attaching small magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims’ cars.
The Iranians have no doubt who is responsible – Israel and the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, known by various acronyms, including MEK, MKO and PMI.
Mohammad Javad Larijani, a senior aide to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, describes what Iranian leaders believe is a close relationship between Israel’s secret service, the Mossad, and the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, or MEK, which is considered a terrorist organization by the United States.

Read the article and view its videos here.

So the rest of the world waits in trepidation as Israel and the US ponder on starting yet another war. At least some truths are becoming evident. The world will be well aware of the falseness of any purported reason(s) for attacking Iran and will not forgive Israel and the US for starting what might well be WW3.
