-Caveat Lector- http://www.nomorefakenews.com/ NEWSFLASH: OCTOBER 14. Who is making an illegal killing in the stock market right now and ripping off millions of Americans? Who is profiting from the violence and death in Palestine? Who is making $$$ from the deaths of US sailors on the USS Cole? Who is racking up huge rewards from higher oil prices? A respected investment advisor, speaking off the record, states, "Everybody on Wall Street knows that when oil goes up the business stocks on every exchange in the world begin to drop. If you have inside information on oil prices, you can play the market like a fiddle. Certain big oil executives and their friends have been short-selling stocks all over the world and watching them drop. Their profits are staggering." The recent massive fall in stock markets has also been coordinated with the bombing of the USS Cole and the violence in Palestine. These murderous events cause investors to get jittery and sell their stock holdings, forcing stock prices to go down. So while US families worry about freezing this winter, fat cats are reaping huge benefits from short selling--betting, in effect, that major stock prices will go down. Their bets are correct. The Securities and Exchange Commission, the US agency responsible for keeping the investing game fair, is of course sitting on its hands. The stock advisor I spoke with goes on to say, "There should be an immediate investigation to find out who is illegally making millions from the current crises around the world. But that won't happen. Because such an investigation would reveal that the whole stock- investing game is rigged on many fronts..." Gore and Bush say nothing either, because they are fronting for special interests who know how to play this fixed stock game very well. The public is fed the boring presidential debates, in which the object seems to be taking on the role of the most polite candidate. The public is told it would be a mortal sin not to vote for either Bush or Gore. Reports coming out of all major news outlets keep repeating "eye- witness accounts" of a raft "loaded with explosives" that blew up with its terrorist passengers at the hull of the USS Cole. This, despite the fact that there is a very high probability the raft was carrying a very sophisticated shaped charge--and wasn't stacked with any explosives. See much more below. (written and filed by Jon Rappoport on Saturday, Oct.14) NEWSFLASH: OCTOBER 13. Knowledgeable sources indicate that the bomb that took out a 40 X 20 section of the USS Cole and killed US sailors was a shaped charge. This charge was "sophisticated, outfitted with either a contact detonator or a proximity detonator." So the bomb would have gone off on the raft when the raft either touched the hull of the Cole or came close to it. The people behind this were not amateurs. The bombing of the USS Cole occurred on the day when two Israeli soldiers were killed by Palestinians, provoking the Israeli helicopter/rocket attack--and on the same day that the US stock markets plunged. These and other events of October 12 suggest intentional coordination on a broad scale. (Written and filed by Jon Rappoport. See more below.) NEWSFLASH: OCTOBER 12. Middle East conflict, terrorism, oil prices, the election in the US, the stock market, the economy, Israel, Palestine. This is an OPERATION. This is not a series of accidents or coincidences. As the tech stocks on NASDAQ started to tumble, exposing the dotcoms and the phony biotech companies-- several months ago--both the Repubs and the Demos began to think about how an economic downturn might affect their Presidential campaign strategies. Oil prices a little later began to rise. The energy moguls, backing Bush, saw the possibility that a temporary hit of this kind to the economy in the US could benefit Bush's cause. After all, who wants to change political parties in the middle of what the press has been calling the greatest period of prosperity in US history? So, the thinking has gone, why not erode that prosperity with rising oil prices and get the people to bring in Bush Jr. Nothing very unusual so far. Through overt manipulation, not so different from the holding of US hostages in Iran during the Carter-Reagan campaign of 1980, the US has been being held hostage, in a very soft way, by rising oil prices--and these prices would immediately drop as soon as Bush Jr. won the White House...just as the hostages returned as soon as Reagan was inaugurated President. This is a distinct parallel. After all, George Bush Sr. was involved in the October Surprise, which was the deal made with the Ayatollah in Iran to hold the US hostages until the election of 1980, thereby wrecking all confidence in the Presidency of Jimmy Carter and ensuring a Reagan victory. But now the ante was upped. Clinton-Gore decided to free up US reserves of oil to counteract the energy moguls' raising of oil prices. This was a bit of a surprise. That reserve is almost never tapped, except in time of war. Clinton-Gore played the knight on the white horse riding in to save the families in New England who would be freezing their tails off without heating oil. Of course, as oil prices continue to rise, other sectors of the US economy are affected. Every business that uses oil has to raise prices of its products a little to handle their increased cost of doing business. So the stock market gets a little jittery. The armies of amateurs who think they know how to play the market, who think we are in irreversible prosperity, are suddenly developing very cold feet and they are starting to bail out of their stocks. This drives stock prices lower and the spiral begins. More bailing out on top of bailing out. A lot of these amateurs were buying stocks on margin, and now they are suddenly receiving margin calls from their brokers. These amateurs are finding out that the cold realities of investing operate no matter whether you are dealing with a human broker or an internet screen. The broker wants more money in the account to cover the losses from the customer's stocks that are falling, that were purchased on margin (on a fraction of the actual cost of the stock). More fear. The cartels who run this planet love to induce fear. It makes citizens want to go to recognized authorities and give up all their freedoms for protection from the big bad threat--which in this case, is the fear of loss of money. Now we have explosives on a raft which blow out a 40 by 20 hole in the USS Cole off Yemen. This terrorist act just happens to take place in an area not far from the oil route, where tankers take Middle East oil and bring it to the US and other nations. Now there is the fear that the oil route could become more dangerous. This causes more panic on Wall Street, because potential disruption of the oil route would mean oil shortages and much higher oil prices and plummeting Wall Street stocks of all kinds, since those stocks represent real companies which need oil to do business, which need to pay for oil to do business. Now we have the killing of several Israeli soldiers by Palestinians and the retaliation by the Israeli Armed Forces with helicopters and rockets. The Middle East peace process is in tatters. The Islamic hatred of Israel is whipped into a frenzy. If the US unequivocally supports Israel and condemns Palestine, this could drive Islamic oil nations to cut their supplies of oil to the US. On top of this, the US government refuses--and has refused for several decades--to drill for oil at an accelerated rate inside the US, despite the fact that Alaska, for example, holds gigantic supplies of untapped oil and untapped natural gas. Several sources confirm that such drilling operations would make the US independent of the need for Middle East oil. Think about that. But if the US became free of the need for Middle East oil, prices of the oil would drop severely. And we all know that it is perceived scarcity which drives the price up--and up is exactly where the energy cartel wants it to be. The energy cartel and other cooperating cartels in fact want the Middle East to remain the single place on Earth where America and Europe get most of their oil. These cartels want the chaos in the Middle East to continue in a controlled way. They want that age-old conflict to continue. They want to prove to the world that conflict and scarcity are the overriding factor in all human life...this is their OPERATION. This is their way of doing things. THIS IS THEIR WAY OF GAINING MORE POWER AND CONTROL OVER HUMAN LIFE. In 1940, Buckminster Fuller knew and wrote about the real new prosperity. He stated that the human race was in possession of sufficient technology to provide the basics of life to every human on the face of the Earth--at very low cost. This was a shock to the power elites, who redoubled their efforts to literally create a world-- through unchecked famine, manufactured war, disease, and poverty--that would convince one and all that scarcity and suffering were the cardinals rules of existence. Today, more than ever, we could realize Fuller's dream and our dream, without destroying basic money systems or countries or profits for businesses. The recent events I've sketched in here--and their implications-- are all part of a very high-level cartel action that goes way beyond anything Bush Jr. or Gore knows about. As with every president, they are simply pawns in a much larger game. They are candidates who have the right mixture of ignorance, sincerity, ego, family pride, ideals, scuzziness, IQ, tunnel-vision, vulnerability to humiliation, and obedience. The cartels delight in the fact that forces beyond Gore and Bush, but below the cartels themselves, are trying to mess with the price of oil, are trying to sway an election by playing with fire. The cartels use this, as they use everything, to squeeze humans everywhere and force them to give up their deepest dreams and freedoms and opt for blind obedience to AUTHORITY in the face of a threat. More later.
