USA is already committing acts of war against Iran

This should not really be news to anyone, but just in case it is, read this article, about US sponsored terrorist groups which launch attacks against Iran. Yes - US sponsored terrorist groups. Oh the hypocritical bastards.

As if that wasn't enough, 2 additional US carriers are heading towards Iran right now.

Funny segment on Letterman, amirite?

Here's a pretty good fact-page.

Content

Have a guess of who that page is about, I don't think it will take you long to figure it out.

•I attacked and took over 2 countries.

•I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the US Treasury.

•I shattered the record for the biggest annual deficit in history (not easy!).

•I set an economic record for the most personal bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period.

•I set all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the stock market.

My result is: True Neutral. This is a bit disappointing, but I couldn't relate to many of the questions asked anyway. This test seems like a good idea though.

It ain't Hollywood, but it's point is clear.
Actually looking over it, it doesn't have all that much of a point. The summary is too brief and isolated in my opinion. But good nevertheless.

US Torture

Have a look at this article. Has a pic which you may or may not find graphic, I don't know...I don't find anything graphic anymore.

Mars Photo

Here is a photo, of what appears to be a living creature - more specifically, an up-right walking beight.

I'm not sure what an alien would be doing walking in the middle of mars, but I'd rather not theorise without having the image put into a larger contex (who knows, there may be a spaceship just outside of the photograph?).

ATS Discussion Thread - many for/against arguments there.

PS. I feel really sorry for non-linux users or linux users whom don't have compiz, because you can't easily zoom in, while maintaining photo quality like I can.

UFO Sceptics

I say this constantly, but someone made a very nice post summarising my feelings entirely, on the matter at which sceptics truly fail at - eyewitness accounts and reports. Any idiot can claim that a certain photo is photoshopped or a certain video is CGI, but nobody can come up with a reasonable explanation for people's testimonies.

Numerous countries, perhaps more notably Brazil, Russia and the UK have de-classified and released all of their files and documents related to UFOs/Aliens. These usually contains tens of thousands of reports and accounts, submitted by ordinary citizens, military personal and government officials. They may also contain some photos.

Overall, if you add all the eye-witness accounts from every country, going back many decades to when records started to be kept in those respective countries, I do not doubt for a moment that you would have over 100,000 of them in total.

And perhaps some are a little bit silly, but there are countless which are incredibly convincing, where it's obvious that no other explanation is possible, especially the countless instances where aliens were seen by people, people from more or less every country in the world, no matter how remote or small.

Some of these reports range from bad experiences of abduction and testing, to mere pranks apparently pulled by aliens and contact being peacefully made, to incredible accounts of aliens coming to remote villages in 3rd world countries, and curing people with chronic and terminal illnesses and diseases, such as cancer, complete lack of eye sight, failing organs, and other things. And of course, many of them are simply sightings - sometimes ambiguous, sometimes clearly of craft which could have no Earthly origin, craft which move at astronomical speeds, cloak, spin, change colours and shapes, or look abnormal. Needless to say, none of them look like air vehicles from Earth.

Eat that, sceptics.

Ghost Vids

Wondering whether this stuff is real or not. Many arguments for either side can be stated.

All from the same guy, same house.

I'm going to probably go with plausible, because this type of thing is not undocumented nor unheard of, but at the same time, it may be possible to fake, if the guy was an absolute genius, with a large amount of resources.

It would be a simple matter of checking out his story, personally, to figure out if he's lying or not.

Note, that the following is taken (typed by me) from the documentary "Money as Debt". Please note that it's difficult to type as fast as someone talks (depending on the speed of speech, etc), so I may have one or two mistakes, but overall I think it's fine. If you're interested, please watch the whole documentary, as it puts the entire current US economic crisis into perspective, and explains the reasons behind it.

This is only one tiny portion of it, the documentary is very in-depth and explains a lot more, about the exponential growth of the US economy due to rapid and above all exponential consumerism through debt, and why it cannot continue to function the way it does.

:::::

In the past, it was common to require banks to have at least $1 worth of real gold in the vault to back every $10 of debt created. Today reserve requirement ratios no longer apply to the ratio of new money to gold on deposit but merely on the ratio of new debt money on existing debt money on deposit in the bank.

Today a bank's reserves consist of 2 things, the amount of government issued cash that the bank has depositied with the central bank plus the amount of already existing debt money, the bank has on deposit.

To illustrate this in a simple way, lets image that a new bank has started up and has no depositors yet, however the bank's investors have made a deposit of $1111.12 of existing cash money at the central bank. The required reserve ratio is 9:1.

Step 1: The door's open, and the bank welcome their first loan customer. He needs $10,000 to buy a car. At the 9:1 reserve ratio, the new bank's reserve - the central bank allows it to legally conjure nine times that amount (9x1111.12) - or $10,000 on the basis of debt. This $10,000 is not taken from anywhere, it's brand new money simply typed into the borrow's account as credit. The borrower then writes a cheque on this bank credit to buy the car.

Step 2: Then seller then deposits this newly created $10,000 at her bank. Unlike the highly-powered government money at the central bank, this created money cannot be multiplied by the reserve ratio, instead it's divided by the ratio. At the ratio of 9:1 a new loan (of $9000) can be created on the basis of the $10,000 deposit.

Step 3: If that 9,000 is then deposited by a third party, at the same bank or a different one, it becomes the basis for a third issue of bank credit, this time for the amount of $8,100. This is like one of those Russian dolls, where each layer contains one slightly smaller than the previous, each new deposit creates the potential for a slightly smaller loan, in an infinately decreasing series.

Now, if the loan money is not deposited at the bank, the process stops. That's the unpredictable part of the money creation mechanism. But more likely, at every step the money will be deposited at a bank, and the reserve ratio process can repeat itself over and over, until almost $100,000 of banking money has been created in the banking system.

All of this new money has been created entirely by debt, and the whole process has been legally authorised, from the initial deposit of $1111.12, which is still sitting untouched at the central bank.

What's more, under this ingenious system, the books of each bank and the chain must show that it has 10% more on deposit than it has out on loan. This gives banks a very real incentive to seek deposits, in order to make loans, this supports the general but misleading impression that loans come out of deposits.

Now, unless all the successive loans were deposited at the same bank, it cannot be said that any one bank got to multiply it's initial, high-powered reserve money by almost 90 times ($1111.12 * 90 = $100,000) by issuing credit out of nothing - however, the banking system is a closed loop, bank credit created at one bank becomes a deposit in another, and vice versa. In theorical word of perfectly equal exchanges, the ultimate effect would be exactly the same - as if the whole process took place within one bank, that is, the bank's initial central bank reserve of $1111.12 allows it to ultimately collect interest of up to $100,000 - which the bank never had.

As a result of lobbying by the banks, the requirements to make a deposit to the central bank have all but disappeared in some countries, and actual reserve ratios can be much higher than 9:1. For some types of accounts, 20:1 and 30:1 are common.

And even more recently, by using loan fees to raise the required reserve from the borrower, banks have now found a way to circumvent reserve limitations entirely, so, while the rules are complex, the common reality is simple - banks can create as much money as we can borrow.

It's kind of like, USA has hacked it's own economy and created it's wealth as debt out of nothing, and unless they stop hacking, the server admin is going to ban them.

This is one of my favourites, it's on my clan's homepage atm so I thought I'd share it here.
