President Obama is concerned that Iran has sought nuclear weapons and its leaders "allegedly" deny the Holocaust and threaten Israel. [1]

Publically, Obama and Biden believe that it was reckless for Congress to give George Bush any justification to extend the Iraq War or to attack Iran but President-Elect Obama didn’t wait for his inauguration to appoint "saber-rattling" Hillary Clinton Secretary of State and retained Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense.

George Bush and Tony Blair claim the world won’t be safe until Iran’s plans for nuclear enrichment are stopped, even before 2015 when Iran might be in a position to have a nuclear weapon. [2]

In addition, the propaganda machines are still churning out stories of Iranian weapons used to kill American GIs, and it was just a few years ago when the corporate- controlled media dutifully reported Bush and Cheney’s lies about Saddam Hussein’s WMDs and his connection to September 11.

However the historical precedent for the hatred fomented against the "alleged" Arab terrorists and Iran would be the Nazis in Germany, not Arab terrorist in Iraq.

Why did President Bush and his buddies want to drill, drill, drill (Last September)?

Hot, Flat Friedman wonders, "what planet are they on?"

[Authors Note: This article was written last year when the price of Silver collapsed from 21 to 9. Financial analysts resorted to a greed and profit explanation but others noted it made no sense. This explanation was widely posted on mainstream and financial sites]

The end of our consumer society is on the horizon, which should be no surprise to anyone who took Economics 101. Do we really expect to spend our way out of this mess by buying and selling each other useless cheap stuff from China?

As the financial collapse gathers steam, gold and silver oracles like Butler, Friedman, Morgan and Turk who have been predicting for years the launch of the price of silver to the moon will see their prophecy fulfilled, but a celebration is not in order.

I am recommending California State Senator Fran Pavley, Member Senate Food & Agriculture committee, to head a new commission formed to promote urban farming in California. Please contact her District Office (310) 314-5214 as soon as you have time to review the following so she can meet with you to discuss the details of its implementation.

August 21, theatres around the nation screened the documentary I.O.U.S.A. and a live discussion with America's most notable financial leaders and policy experts, including Warren Buffett; William Niskanen, chairman of the Cato Institute; Pete Peterson, senior chairman of The Blackstone Group and former U.S. Comptroller General, Dave Walker.

August 25, Mr. William Niskanen, CEO of the Cato Institute, confirmed his remarks on the I.O.U.S.A. post-broadcast panel discussion.

Dear Mr. Singer,
I do not have a tape of my remarks last Thursday evening. As I remember, however, I expressed being puzzled why the central banks of China, Japan, and South Korea have continued to invest so much in U.S. Treasury securities. For these central banks have earned a negative real return on these securities, for which the interest rate has been lower than the depreciation of the dollar.

I would value your judgment about this puzzle... William A. Niskanen

China is a "Hot Topic" at the nationally and internationally recognized Center for Trade Policy at Mr. Niskanen's Cato Institute, but the research staff has been unable to find a political, diplomatic, military or economic solution to the China puzzle, because there isn't one.

[Authors note: My article below Is Jesus Christ Coming Back to Earth in MMXXIII (2023)? was widely posted March 6, 2009. Research for the article came from an out of print book by Ian Gurney, the Cassandra Prophesy published in 1999.

Mr. Gurney was the first to write about The Very Mysterious Deaths Of Five Microbiologists (www.rense.com/general18/five.htm) December 20, 2001. From the Microbiologists article: "It is a story worthy of a major conspiracy theory, the script for a Mel Gibson "Who dunnit?" action movie, or a blueprint for a contrived and unbeleivable episode of "The X Files".

I will post my connect the dot article Washington and Poland just moved the World closer to War – Unlikely next.

Codex Alimentarius may present the greatest disaster for our food supply-and thus for our health-this country has ever seen, and if not stopped is likely to be implemented starting in 2011.

[referenced in previous diary, "The Monsanto Connection"]

We are having trouble figuring out why Monsanto made Percy Schmeiser a hero for the growing movement against GMOs, but we don’t have to look very far to find out why Monsanto director of public affairs Brad Mitchell is debating Linn Cohen-Cole, a Grandmother on Opednews.

I recently published an article "Grandmother Scores Huge Victory over Monsanto".

The article was a magnet for controversy because I claimed the best way to fight Monsanto and HR 875 was by growing your own food and saving seeds.

Linn Cohen-Cole, the libertarian grandmother at the forefront of the anti-HR 875 campaign called me "dangerous" for fostering complacency by encouraging readers to grow their own food instead of send e-mails and faxes...that no one reads.
