The Pope Slams "Tyranny" of Capitalism and "Idolatry of Money,"

Pope Francis has used his first major written work to attack capitalism as a "new tyranny," while urging global leaders to fight poverty and inequality. In a document published Tuesday, Pope Francis denounced the 'idolatory of money' and "trickle-down" economic policies, as well as consumerism and a financial system which he says rules rather than serves. The Pope urged politicians to guarantee all citizens "dignified work, education and healthcare." However, the Pope rejected change in two other areas: the ordination of women to the priesthood and the church's view on abortion. We speak to two dissident priests. Matthew Fox is former Catholic priest who was first stopped from teaching Liberation Theology and Creation Spirituality, then expelled from the Dominican Order. Father Ray Bourgeois is a Catholic priest and the founder of the School of Americas Watch.

Fukushima "This should worry you" Plume-Gate highlights

TEPCO warns media about filming Unit 4 offload:
"Nov. 21, 2013: [...] we have noticed that some news media released videos, taken from the air, of the on-premise transportation from the Unit 4 Reactor Building to the Common Pool Building [...] Some of those videos contain information (such as the transportation schedule, a route of the transportation, and activities of security guards) the disclosure of which conflicts with "Measures To Be Taken for Physical Protection of Specific Nuclear Fuel Material" stipulated in the Nuclear Reactor Regulation Law. The regulatory agency is also aware of this matter, and instructed us to request the media to act with attention to physical protection. As we have already requested the media members on many occasions, in view of physical protection, please refrain from taking pictures and videos of the physical protection facilities such as

Fukushima Reactor 1 is 9 x Chernobyl - Unit 3 is a Million X Chernobyl

Military people call such places "FRONTLINE", liquidators who worked at the Chornobyl nuclear station called it "ROOF COATING". It was the most contaminated, and therefore the most dangerous, place in the zone. The remains of the roof coating of the 4th reactor. The operation on decontaminating the roof lasted more than five months. We will tell about only two days. About the most important two days in the life of an explorer - dosimetrist Valeriy Starodumov. He participated in this operation until it was over. He himself came out to the roof and led people there. He himself planted the "victory banner" at the level of 75 meters, as the signal for the zone: the roof coating has been decontaminated! Now, 25 years later, Valeriy Starodumov comes back to the zone. Now Chernobyl is a tourist object. But not for him...

JFK Assassination Files: Oliver Stone Testifies Before Congress on Government Records (1992)

In the 1990s, Stone directed one of his most ambitious, controversial and successful films to date, JFK, that depicts the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In 1991, Stone showed JFK to Congress on Capitol Hill, which helped lead to passage of the Assassination Materials Disclosure Act of 1992. The Assassination Records Review Board (created by Congress to end the secrecy surrounding Kennedy's assassination) discussed the film, including Stone's observation at the end of the film, about the dangers inherent in government secrecy. Stone published an annotated version of the screenplay, in which he cites references for his claims, shortly after the film's release.

In New York City, the undisputed king of parking tickets, the municipal coffers are stuffed with nearly $600 million in parking ticket revenue annually -- about 50 percent more than in 2002. The financial opportunity is so large that New York hired more than 200 new agents this year, at a time when most city agencies were being cut.

(2) The bitcoin mania. Greg and I both agree that this is a bubble in the midst of popping.

(3) The future state of the dollar. We both agree there will be distortions created by the Fed. The difference is that Greg thinks that the dollar is in trouble now, while, I think they'll kick the can down the road. Ultimately, we both see nasty inflation in our future (hopefully we're wrong)

Jason Liosatos Interview with Paul Gunter About Fukushima and The Nuclear Horrors We Face

My talk with Paul Gunter Director at The Nuclear Oversight Project at Beyond Nuclear.org. Paul explains the inevitable and irreversable consequences we face as humanity if we continue on our current course using nuclear. We discuss the Fukushima situation as the warning to the world of what is to come, and the already disastrous contamination destroying the ecosystem. I ask Paul about the nuclear waste being used from the nuclear reactors, for Depleted Uranium nuclear bombs, and how profit is being put before safety. Our discussion highlights how the use of nuclear is an opened door to hell that must be closed, with contamination lasting billions of years which could make life uninhabitable on the planet.

Sen. Sessions slams Obama, CEOs on immigration

"America is not an oligarchy... A Republic must answer to the people," Sessions said today, in a direct response to President Barack Obama's latest effort to get wealthy California CEOs to increase their support for his unpopular push for increased immigration.

"Congressional leaders must forcefully reject the notion, evidently accepted by the president, that a small cadre of CEOs can tailor the nation's entire immigration policy to suit their narrow interests," Sessions declared in a populist statement that contradicts the media's image of Republican coziness with CEOs.

Ron Paul: Janet Yellen is very Dangerous For The Economy

What does former U.S. congressman Dr. Ron Paul think about Janet Yellen as the Fed Chair? Kitco News caught up with Paul at the Metals & Minerals Conference in San Francisco, where he is a keynote speaker, to discuss monetary policy, gold and the US dollar. "It's easy to be a critic if you don't believe they should exist," Paul says in response to his criticisms of the Fed. Having Yellen as the next chair, Paul says not much will change. "If anything, it'll be slightly worse because she is a very aggressive inflator...I think she'll be dangerous to the dollar and she will not revive the economy." Paul thinks the Fed is temporarily holding markets in check by making Wall Street people richer and helping out the bankers but it has done nothing for the economy. "The market is so fragile," he says. "[The Fed] should have never started [QE]." With regards to gold, Paul says gold will soon be up again. "[The Fed] cannot print this kind of money and think that it will never be discounted by the dollar price of gold," he says. "I think we're fast approaching the time where [gold] will turnaround." Watch now to hear where Paul would invest and avoid putting his money in the coming year. Kitco News, November 26, 2013.

Pepe Escobar : How Lobby Interests are Spinning Iran Nuclear Deal

Iran's nuclear deal with the P5+1 group of world powers in Geneva has triggered a spin war which will last for the next 6 months, as many of the parties involved will pursue their own business interests in this situation, journalist Pepe Escobar told RT.

RT: As we see, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammed Zarif came out of the talks with different views. Why's there such diversity in the interpretation of the deal?

Pepe Escobar: Because the spin war started at 3am in Geneva. It's going to go on for another six months, until May 2014, that's the duration of this "first step" deal.

Prophecies Fulfilled (2000+) 08 - Mother of Abominations

Mystery, Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the earth is represented by the Vatican city especially during the period of the inquisition.
Mystery - The city which sits on 7 hills can only be the Vatican city in Rome and it had ruled the kings of Europe for over a millennium.
Mother of Harlots - All tithes, love offerings and gifts are the properties of God and they are meant to be for the services of the full time workers, the needs for His numerous ministries world wide, the helping and feeding of the poor, needy, destitute, orphans, widows and also refugees. They must not be hoarded. Investing in properties, artifacts, businesses, shares and deposits in banks is an abomination to the Lord.
Rev 18:2
And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! (NKJ)

The following notice and question was sent to the US embassy in Tokyo, Japan two weeks ago:
“A group of influential Asian banking families possesses large amounts of US government bonds, verified as genuine by the BIS, with a face value of many trillions of dollars. These bonds were issued in the 1930’s and 40’s in exchange for Asian gold evacuated to the US during those decades. They would like to cash the bonds and use the money to finance a massive campaign to end poverty and stop environmental destruction. Will the US government support such a plan?”
So far, there has been no reply.

Mass Civil Unrest to Occur as Poverty Increases!

Hungry Americans Less Productive as Budget Cuts Deepen: Economy

Spending on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, fell by $5 billion this month as a temporary funding boost was allowed to expire. The reduction is one of many amid a wave of federal austerity that will shave 1.5 percentage points from gross domestic product this year, according to calculations by Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, New York.

The poverty rate in the U.S. was 15 percent last year, compared with a 26-year low of 11.3 percent in 2000. Food stamps reduce poverty rates among every age group by at least 0.8 percentage point, according to Census data issued this month.
The rate for children would be 21 percent excluding food stamps, compared with 18 percent, according to the supplemental report. Those figures take into account the effects of benefits, such as food stamps or Social Security payments, and necessary family expenses, such as federal income taxes.

Fed "Likely" Taper QE3. Will Market Crash?

Fed Taper Likely in 'Coming Months' on Better Data

Federal Reserve officials said they might reduce their $85 billion in monthly bond purchases "in coming months" as the economy improves, minutes of their last meeting show.

Policy makers "generally expected that the data would prove consistent with the Committee's outlook for ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and would thus warrant trimming the pace of purchases in coming months," according to the record of the Federal Open Market Committee's Oct. 29-30 gathering, released today in Washington.

The FOMC is considering how and when to reduce asset purchases without triggering a rise in interest rates that could slow economic growth and erode gains in the labor market. Their meeting minutes show extensive discussion on how to increase the clarity of their plans to hold interest rates near zero. They made no decisions on those plans.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is strongly considering a run for the presidency in 2016, according to the Examiner. If Ventura has any say in the matter, he wants shock jock and American's Got Talent judge Howard Stern as his vice president.
"The people of America have got to show me something before I put my ass out there," Ventura said during his appearance on the Howard Stern Show last Monday. "They gotta show me they want me.

OBAMA's GUN CONTROL AGENDA - More FALSE FLAG ATTACKS to bring in AGENDA?

The bodies of the casualties from yesterday's latest mass shooting incident have not been buried yet, but already the president, fresh from his embarrassing foreign relations defeat with Russia and not to mention the ongoing NSA snafu, is back in 'distract em with a campaign-cum-crusade mode' after calling, once again, for Congress to pass gun control legislation this time in an interview with Noticias Telemundo.

One can only assume the president was himself too distracted by all his recent scandals and/or was just spying too hard on the American people to recall that it was only in April that theDemocratically-controlled Senate killed an amendment to a Democratic gun control bill, which was the first and biggest slap in the face of the freshly re-elected president so far in 2013 (little did we know it was only downhill from there), and made a mockery of Obama's crusade to enact gun control. President Obama called on Congress on Tuesday to revisit gun control legislation, saying in the wake of Monday's deadly mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard that lawmakers should take what he considers "basic actions" to toughen the nation's gun laws. In an interview with the Spanish-language television network Telemundo, Obama said the country's background check system for gun buyers is so weak it makes the United States vulnerable to mass shootings, such as the one last December that killed 26 small children at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting propelled gun safety to the top of Obama's second-term legislative agenda, but Senate Republicans as well as some Democrats in April blocked a proposal to expand background checks.



Of course, when this latest initiative of an openly flailing administration crashes and burns, there will be yet another Syria false flag event to redirect, just as there was in the spring when Obama's first attempt at getting the Senate to pass a Democratic proposal, failed, which needless to say also ended up in flames.

Mentally unstable man in the military gains legal access to gun, goes on rampage. That's the portrait. 3d printed rifle 3d printed shotgun 3d printed pistol 3d printed ar 15

Donald Trump on Iran Nuclear Deal : We Are Celebrating a bad Deal

BREAKING: Israeli cabinet minister: Iran deal based on `deceit,' Israel can't celebrate.
(NYTimes.com) GENEVA — The foreign policy chief of the European Union and Iranian officials announced a landmark accord Sunday morning that would temporarily freeze Tehran's nuclear program and lay the foundation for a more sweeping accord.
After marathon talks that finally ended early Sunday morning, the United States and five other world powers reached an agreement with Iran to halt much of Iran's nuclear program. It was the first time in nearly a decade, American officials said, that steps had been taken to stop much of Iran's nuclear effort and even roll some elements back.

Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk 11/25/13: Can Karzai Save Us?

Can Karzai Save Us?
by Ron Paul

After a year of talks over the post-2014 US military presence in Afghanistan, the US administration announced last week that a new agreement had finally been reached. Under the deal worked out with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the US would keep thousands of troops on nine military bases for at least the next ten years.

It is clear that the Obama Administration badly wants this deal. Karzai, sensing this, even demanded that the US president send a personal letter promising that the US would respect the dignity of the Afghan people if it were allowed to remain in the country. It was strange to see the US president go to such lengths for a deal that would mean billions more US dollars to Karzai and his cronies, and a US military that would continue to prop up the regime in Kabul.
