Who Will Suffer As A Result of Euro Policies? The Jews. Peter Martino

It is as if the U.S. were to renounce the dollar for the “amro,” a common currency with countries as different as Mexico. Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. A documentary on German television last week revealed that the political class in Europe knew that the Greeks were cooking the books, but did not care. Extremist parties of the Left and the Right (all of them anti-Semitic) are rapidly gaining electoral support at the expense of mainstream parties….
The European Union, and especially its common currency, the euro, is on the brink of collapse. The Greeks, unable to form a government after the May 6 elections, will have to go to the polls again next month. In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel is rapidly losing support. If she cares about her reelection next year, she had better push Greece out of the eurozone rather than keep that country afloat with German taxpayers’ money. If Greece leaves, the whole euro edifice might come down – a better outcome than the present situation, in which extremist parties on the Left and the Right (all of them anti-Semitic) are rapidly gaining electoral support at the expense of mainstream parties which keep clinging to the failed project of the common European currency……read more

The briefers knew less than the Commission members they were briefing. What the intelligence community failed to do was see weapons of mass destruction and missiles as “instruments of state power,” rather than as “contraband traded contrary to traditional norms.”

“Don’t worry” says the former deputy director of its Counterterrorist Center: it is not the fault of the intelligence community: “They screw things up all by themselves” he states. “On major foreign policy decisions, intelligence is not the decisive factor”.
Is the intelligence community really that innocent?
Now retired, this same 28-year CIA veteran had a hand in the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran. The report was a bombshell: its summary dismissed Iran as a threat to US, effectively taking it out of the mix of national security issues in the 2008 Presidential campaign.
This was apparently accomplished by a sleight of hand. In a footnote, the NIE report clarified that Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons program in 2003, and that the report was referring only to the warhead design and not the harder part, the enrichment of uranium and the production of nuclear weapons fuel.
In this instance, US policy on Iran was being guided by an intelligence community as an accomplice in dumbing-down our security assessments to make the “Iranian problem go away.” The former Secretary of Defense, the late Les Aspin, had a phrase for such work: “They cooked the books.”….READ MORE
