As you know, the Fed is a private corporation. Why is it meeting at
a highly sensitive government facility at a time of financial crisis?

Country's top decisions are made in secret by the Fed
August 25, 2007.
By Chris Powell
Journal Inquirer, Manchester, Connecticut
Saturday, August 25, 2007
Most of the important public policy decisions in the country now
are being made not in any public forum nor even by elected
officials. They are being made in secret by unelected officials --
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
While the governors are nominated by the president and appointed by
the Senate, that is pretty much where accountability ends, since
the governors serve 14-year terms, which is close to the life
tenure of federal judges. There is a little more accountability for
the board's chairman and vice chairman, who are nominated by the
president from among the board's members and appointed by the
Senate for four-year terms of leadership.
This structure is said to take politics out of the management of
the money supply and interest rates. In practice it has only
replaced public politics with private politics -- and in regard to
issues that have the greatest bearing on the country's prosperity
and economic opportunity and equality or inequality. The president
and Congress spend most of their time on issues far less relevant
to daily life than the issues that have been forfeited to the
Federal Reserve.
And look how the Fed is functioning amid the turmoil in the world
financial system that has been prompted by the collapse in the
market for "subprime" mortgage bonds.
As it always does in crisis, the Fed has... http://

Chatter about an "incident" on West Coast at all time high

Chatter picked up by WMR's sources in the nation's capital and in
California point to unusual events that could be a prelude to a
9/11-like false flag "incident" during the Labor Day weekend,
possibly one focused on the San Francisco Bay Area.
The FBI in Seattle, as well as the Washington Joint Analytical
Center (WJAC), have asked for the public's help in identifying two
men spotted aboard Washington state ferries exhibiting unusual
behavior. A number of ferry passengers have reported the two men
showing strange behavior.
Two photos have been circulated showing two young "Middle East"
looking men on board a ferry. The reluctance of the FBI to provide
more details is reminiscent of the 2000 and 2001 closely-held
government reports that a number of teams of between two and five
to six young male and female Israelis, all veteran or reserve
Israeli Defense Force members, were spotted casing federal
facilities, oil refineries, harbor areas, homes of federal law
enforcement officials, office buildings -- including the World
Trade Center, bridges, tunnels, and military bases and airfields
prior to and subsequent to the 9/11 attacks.
The Israelis were described in a number of federal reports as
"Middle East-looking" in appearance. The FBI never sought to
prosecute the Israelis, many of whom were using the intelligence
covers of office and home furniture movers, vendors of toys at
shopping mall kiosks, and art students selling bogus Israeli
artwork, and merely turned them over to U.S. immigration
authorities for deportation back to Israel. The code phrase "Middle
East looking" has since become politically-correct FBI-speak for
Israelis. Nationals of Arab countries are described as Arabs in
official law enforcement intelligence reports. However, Israeli
influence over the Bush administration prevents Israelis in the
United States operating illegally or pursuing other dubious
activities from being described as Israelis.
As a senior law enforcement official in northern New Jersey told
this editor that there should have been some "healthy skepticism"
shown by federal, state, and local law enforcement officials about
the activities of Israeli nationals in and around New York City
prior to 9/11. The official, who was appointed by then-Governor Jim
McGreevey, knew that his boss had been compromised in an Israeli
intelligence "honey trap" involving Israeli agent Golan Cipel, who
McGreevey appointed chief of homeland security for New Jersey after
9/11. Cipel, an Israeli national, had full access to sensitive
information about every critical infrastructure facility in the state.
Many of the Israelis picked up prior to 9/11 were turned over to
federal and local authorities because they, too, exhibited unusual
behavior -- including sketching and photographing the interiors and
exteriors of federal buildings, trying to enter various secured
offices and other spaces, and splitting up from teams of five and
six to teams of two to canvass certain urban areas without drawing
too much attention.
The FBI and WJAC have asked anyone with information on the two
suspicious ferry passengers in the Seattle area to report it to
206-622-0460.
Yesterday, WMR reported on Israeli press accounts that the Israeli
branch chief of Interpol is under investigation for using his
contacts within the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem to obtain U.S.
visas for criminal Israeli suspects to enter the United States.
Our San Francisco sources also report that, in an unusual move, the
Oakland Bay Bridge will be closed by Caltrans in both directions
during the entire Labor Day weekend -- from August 31 to September
4. It is the first time the bridge has been closed since the 1989
San Francisco earthquake caused the collapse of the bridge's upper
deck. Ostensibly, the bridge is closing to replace a section of the
road on Yerba Buena Island but the closure will effectively deter
people from traveling to San Francisco from the East Bay, a blow to
city businesses that depend on visitors to the city during holiday
weekends.
The closure of the bridge will result in expanded service on area
ferries, including the Alameda-Oakland, Vallejo Baylink, and Golden
Gate ferries, as well as BART train service, including service on
the San Francisco-Oakland Trans-Bay Tube, the longest submerged
tunnel in the world. The security alert issued about suspicious men
on Washington state ferries should be viewed as a possible dry run
and an "incident" on the expanded service San Francisco ferries
cannot be ruled out. The Seattle area, including the Whidbey Island
naval installation and Sea-Tac airport, have witnessed past
incidents involving suspicious Israeli agents.
With the closure of the Bay Bridge, there will be an increase of
traffic on the Golden Gate, Richmond-San Rafael, Dumbarton, and San
Mateo-Hayward bridges.
WMR has a number of friends and readers in the San Francisco Bay
area and, while not wanting to be alarmist, we urge them and their
families and friends to exercise preparedness, alertness, and a
high degree of skepticism about any encounters with "Middle East
looking" young men and women. The intelligence indications and
warnings (I&W) point to a possible maritime incident or incidents
involving water-borne craft in San Francisco Bay area waters.

Concerning the billion dollar bet in options reported yesterday:
I went to a traders' blog where this was being discussed. Read it
for an hour or more. It's real. I saw the volume and open interest
figures in the reporting page. They even called the exchange and
market maker. Everyone is amazed, puzzled, and concerned. There are
a number of theories, probably the most realistic is that some huge
holder of S&P has chosen this means to cash out without causing a
ripple in the market... H.

Troops Deploy To Washington DC
08-25-2007
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Members of the 1st Battalion 265 Air Defense
Artillery have mobilized and are on a plane headed first to Ft.
Bliss, then for federal active duty in the capital region.
The troops will be deployed for a year.
"It's going to be all right It's OK if he helps people and
everything, and it's his job. He’s got to do it. He just got to do
it," Jessica Ward said, whose father is being deployed.
Jessica speaks for many when she talks about her father's deployment.
Michael Ward and company are leaving for a year, and that weighs
heavy on families.
The 265th is part of Operation Noble Eagle.
They are ordered by the president to the nation's capital, where
they will operate high-tech weapons systems against any potential
air threat.
