THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

George Green Ex-Neocon insider:
"Beware the Ides of March", possibility of a mini-Nuclear and Financial bust

George Green, Former Washington Insider, Once Asked To Be President Carter's Campaign Finance Chairman, who once rubbed shoulders with the neocon 'movers and shakers' has now changed teams, and is trying to spread the truth in order to stop the New World Order imperial fascism.

Asked why the power brokers and war mongers haven't tried to stamp out him or his anti-neocon message, Green said:

"They really don't care any more because I think the powers that be feel they have already won."

Green's ominous message of a devastating financial collapse in America in the next 90 days has been verified by reports circulating that the neocon's long plan of world domination and collapsing the U.S. economy are imminent.

Other financial analysts, along with Green, have been sounding the "red warning signal," saying 2006 will spell the end for America based on five major signs as listed on the Italian web site BellaCiao.org/en

We present the referenced list without comment, to enable your personal evaluation.

"Sign 1: The U.S., Great Britain and Israel are preparing to attack Iran. As it appears the main reason for invading Iraq was to stop it from selling oil in Euros, likewise Iran has plans to dump the dollar come March 2006.

"Sign 2: U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow issued a warning recently that the U.S. Government is on the verge of collapse - as the statutory debt limit imposed by Congress of $8.184 trillion dollars would be reached in mid-February - the government would then be unable to continue its normal operations. Considering the current total U.S. debt stands at $8.162 trillion dollars, once the official debt ceiling ($8.184 trillion) is reached, the U.S. government's credit abroad (its borrowing power) is gone. Those countries (mainly China) who presently keep America afloat by holding U.S. Treasury Notes, will most likely no longer continue doing so.

"Sign 3: Bank Of America and Compass Bank managers (probably all other U.S. banks too) have been instructing their employees in the last few weeks on how to respond to customer demands in the event of a collapse of the U.S. economy - specifically telling the employees that only agents from the Department Of Homeland Security will have authority to decide what belongings customers may have from their safe deposit boxes - and that precious metals and other valuables will not be released to U.S. citizens. The bank employees have been strictly prohibited from revealing the banks' new "guidelines" to anyone. (however, employees have been talking to friends and family)

"Sign 4: FEMA has activated and is currently staffing its vast network of empty internment camps with armed military personnel - unknown to most Americans, these large federal [concentration camps in which some New Orleans refugees were staying] facilities are strategically positioned across the U.S. landscape to "manage" the population in the event of a "terrorist" attack, a civilian uprising, large-scale dissent ,or an insurrection against the government. Some of these razor-wired facilities have the capacity of detaining a million people.

"Sign 5: The Patriot Act and the US Senate's vote to ban habeas corpus (Nov 14th) - along with George W. Bush having signed executive orders giving him sole authority to impose martial law, suspend habeas corpus and ignore the Posse Comitatus Act, have together pretty much destroyed any notions of freedom and justice for Americans."

Knotty, while I love your news posts this is totally old conspiracy shit, and I say that as a liberal!

1. Bush wanted to win one for his Dad, plain & simple. Sadly he stepped into a great big pile of shit and got pissed when the free people of Iraq democratically elected a government the US didn't like. Had nothing to do with the Oil for Food program.

2. First of all the "statutory debt limit" set by Congress governs how many Treasury Securities can be sold, sure that's income for the US, but there are many other forms of income like the loan payments we get from the rest of the world who we loaned money to. Also when the limit is reached (21 times since the limit was enacted in 1941) the Treasury made due until Congress upped the limit, which it has always done. Note we hit the limit 12 times under Ronald Rayguns and 5 times so far with GW! Also point to this news story being old on March 16th the debt limit was increased by Congress to $9 Trillion, current debt is $8,349,277,698,254.18. Also noteworthy on how old this is, we reached the old debt limit of $8.184 trillion in January 2006 and the US stayed solvent for almost three months until March 16th! WOW it's a miracle!

3. Most people don't keep their precious metals in a safe deposit box, if they can afford the bullion, it's in a good safe at home or outside the country, not a bank. Safe deposit boxes are for wills and other important papers for the middle class.
Snopes even has a page about this rumor, like they say conspriacy theories are almost impossible to debunk: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/safedeposit.asp

4. While all I could find on this was more old conspiracy theory sites saying the same 5 "signs" I am quite sure with the various PUBLIC satelites in space, someone would have posted pictures. As for where NOLA refugees were staying I could have sworn a great portion of them were in the old Astro dome in Houston. Also with more gun shops then McDonalds plus militia groups I highly doubt anything like this could happen.

5. Finally this statement basically debunks the whole "article" I use that word lossely since that implies it was actually written by someone with intelligence!

First of all the Habeas Corpus item had nothing to do with the Patriot Act or Nov 14th. Second, the Patriot Act was renewed on March 2, 2006.

The suspension of Habeas Corpus was part of the Presidential Military Order signed into law 9/18/01 which while real in itself again has absolutely nothing to do with the Patriot Act or some Senate vote on Nov 14th (no year given).

Speaking of what the senate has done on Nov 14ths:
2005 - H.R. 2419 Conference Report; Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 2006

2004 - A SUNDAY

2003 - Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Nomination of Janice R. Brown, of California, to be U.S. Circuit Judge

2002 - Conference Report to Accompany S. 1214; Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002

2001 - Motion to Waive CBA re: Sec. 909 of the Baucus Amdt. No. 2125; To provide a substitute amendment (budget stuff, which was rejected by the way)
