Senate Passes Refined Gasoline Sanction as U.S.S. Truman is Probably Carrying Israeli Warplanes to Attack Iran

In a possible violation of the U.N. sanctions agreement, the US Senate has passed a NEW SANCTION PLAN targeting Iran by a vote of  99-0. (These new sanctions to keep Iran from producing those nuclear weapons they don’t want and are NOT trying to produce)… THEY WILL NOW BE BLOCKING THE SHIPMENTS OF REFINED GASOLINE IN ORDER TO CRIPPLE THE IRANIAN ECONOMY AND CAUSE MASSIVE HARM TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAN… I do not believe the blocking of refined gasoline shipments has been approved as part of the UN Security Council sanctions.

THIS IS MAJOR NEWS… The House is expected to pass this as fast as they can then rush it over to “The Greatest Man of Our Generation” for him to sign into law…With the Israeli and U.S. armada already in place in the Gulf, this could be the start of WWIII… all at the hands of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton… AND ALL FOR THE SAME LIE THAT GEORGE BUSH TRIED TO PASS OFF IN 2008

Thursday overwhelmingly approved a sweeping new package of sanctions on Iran, aiming to force Tehran to halt its suspected nuclear weapons program by choking off its gasoline imports.

Now that the armada is in place the congress has rushed this through in less than a day so that what ever happens they can claim there was a legal basis for it, that way what ever happens, what ever the U.S. and the Israelis do, it will have the appearance of legitimacy. Its like the John Yoo Memos; they gave the Bush/Cheney administration just enough legal cover to claim they weren’t guilty of committing crimes against humanity and war crimes when they tortured people.  It’s pre-emptive obfuscation, a historical smoke-screen of sorts.  What ever it is, it’s really bad news.

Out in the Open: The Bipartisan Neoliberal Agenda for America Goes Mainstream – Welcome to My World

by Scott Creighton

On Sept. 11th 1973, the neoliberals in Washington and the CIA helped stage a coup in Chile so they could test Milton Friedman’s economic theories on a nation-state and neoliberalism (“savage capitalism”) was born.

They killed the elected president of the people of Chile for it. They installed a dictator for it.  They created death squads for it. The hardships and misery they created would last for decades.

But by the business elites it was called “The Miracle of Chile”. They did it because neoliberals know that the people would never accept their IMF/World Bank type ”structural reforms” by choice, so they implement them and then they protected the corrupt system by the use of brutal and merciless force. 

The neoliberals hate democracy, they hate the idea of self-determination, because there just isn’t enough profit in it for them.

And now they are doing it to us.

There is Something Very Wrong with the “Suicide” of William Kruse

by Scott Creighton 

UPDATE – (H/T to an old friend) - Go here to read about how the local county officials in various areas affected by all this BP made disaster are being co-opted by BP, the new Masters of the Gulf, and are harassing the residents with impunity just like any third-world corporate tyranny would.  BP’s head of security riding around in the taxpayer’s county patrol cars pulling over citizens and interrogating them because they filmed something, stealing their identification, intimidating them… while the deputy sits back and says nothing. This is Coca-Cola and Columbia right here in America. 

William Kruse

 

MSNBC has tried to redeem themselves. Yesterday they scrubbed out any mention of Capt. William Kruse’s death from their early morning article (which I pointed out), so today they are running with a Washington Post article devoted entirely to the subject. The Washington Post article calls Kruse’s death an “apparent” suicide.  I don’t think so.   

Here are the facts as I know them thus far… 

• Kruse showed up in the morning to meet with his deck-hands as usual.
• Kruse sent them to the local store to get ice and other supplies for the day’s work helping clean the oil out of the Gulf.
• When they left Kruse was supposed to start-up his boat and meet them at the store where he would fuel it for the day.
• As they were walking toward the store they heard a “pop” but thought it was nothing more than a firecracker.
• After Kruse didn’t show at the store, they went back and found him in the wheel-house.
• There is no suicide note.
• BP owed Kruse $70,000 and Kruse was very angry about not being paid on time.
• Kruse was an extremely vocal and outgoing man.  He was a community leader who all the other captain’s “looked up to“
• Kruse was on the board of the Orange Beach Fishing Association.
• Other fishing boat captains came to him for advice.
• Kruse had recently told one of them that the entire clean-up effort was a scam, it was “hopeless”, and that they had to just shut up and just do as they were told… that it was like living in “prison”.

Does that sound like a suicide to you?
