The war in Syria is moving forward, the US setup an underground base outside of Syria, the base is protected and impervious to missiles. Egypt is in turmoil and the middle east is rising up against the central bankers and the US government.

5 GMO Myths Busted ~ The CorbettReport

Every year, a greater and greater percentage of our food supply sources back to genetically modified ingredients. Monsanto, Dow, Bayer, DuPont and the other biotech giants have made GMOs into a multi-billion dollar industry and unsurprisingly have launched one of the largest pr campaigns in the history of the food industry to convince the public that their products are safe, healthy and beneficial. Let's examine five of the main claims of this PR campaign and see how they stack up to reality.

The Alex Jones Show. A Gleam Of Hope For Home Owners With Underwater Mortgages with Breaking News From Dave Kreiger: On today's Monday, August 19, 2013 broadcast of the Alex Jones Show, Alex will speak with former clinical assistant professor of neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, about Coca-Cola's recent move to defend the cancer causing artificial sweeter aspartame claiming it makes you "skinny." Dr. Blaylock has authored a number of books and papers including Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients and writes a monthly newsletter called the Blaylock Wellness Report. American broadcaster and filmmaker Max Keiser will be on today's show to discuss worries that the central bank could taper its $85 billion a month in quantitative easing as early as September, spurring a huge sell-off in bonds possibly leading us into a major stock market decline. Alex will also address the continued unrest unfolding in Egypt that could potentially lead to World War III.

Occupy Bank Cards and Defrauding the Auditors with Sam Antar

One percent -- meet 99 percent. Our favorite, one percent-er, Jamie Dimon, just disclosed some troubling news. JP Morgan has set aside an additional six point eight billion dollars to deal with future fines and lawsuits. That puts them on track to take over Bank of America when it comes to legal problems in the too-big-to-fail arena. According to JP Morgan's filing, the Justice Department is now investigating them on six separate counts. Will heads roll? Likely not those at the top, so sleep well Mr. Dimon.

And one of those investigations involves bribery abroad. But It's not just at JPMorgan, several of the top banks are hiring children of senior Chinese officials to help them develop relationships in the region. Commonly known as "princelings", the Securities and Exchange Commission is looking into how these hiring practices could help banks win business. There is, however, nothing illegal about hiring "princelings" in general.

But getting back to the main point -- what about the 99%? A new offshoot of the Occupy movement called "Occupy Money Cooperative" is now in the banking business. They'll be selling pre-paid debit cards to those who might not currently have a bank account. And these won't be the Kim Kardashian kind, with monthly fees that amount to over one hundred dollars a year. Fees are expected to be much lower. But is anyone asking why Occupy is getting into banking in the first place? We do. Perianne profiles the Occupy Money Cooperative.

Plus self-proclaimed fraudster, Sam Antar is back on Prime Interest. He's the former chief financial officer of Crazy Eddie. That was the New York appliance retailer that engaged in massive accounting fraud. Here's a clip from one of their famously crazy commercials. Sam cooked the books, but today we look at our payments system and the potential for fraud, and tie it all into the latest Occupy movement to get into banking.

JP Morgan in Bribery Probe for China Hiring Practices

JP Morgan is under scrutiny by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, because of questionable hiring practices in China.

Due to China's business and political environments, companies with the right personal connections, or "guanxi" can sometimes gain a competitive advantage. But the SEC is investigating to see whether JP Morgan has gone too far, and violated bribery laws by hiring the children of state-owned company executives, in order to win contracts.

Watch Mike Chen as he discusses the practice of hiring the children of officials or executives in China, and when this may be a problem.

Living off GRID in an RV Motorhome Full Time

A step-by-step talk-through of how I converted my van into a motorhome on a low budget. Includes tips and the lessons learned from building different interior versions in the same van.




Have you been entertaining thoughts of traveling and embracing an RV lifestyle? The most important decision is which RV is right for you. Without getting into manufacturers and specific models, you must decide which style best suits your needs. For us, we have found the Class B to be the most convenient for our uses. There are pros and cons to each, so you must cater your decision to the type of lifestyle you choose while RVing. We love traveling and seeing as many of the RV destinations in this beautiful country as possible. We'll stay at a location for a few days, and head to the next destination. Being on the move, it is important to have a vehicle that is easy to drive, set-up, and breakdown. Class B RVs encompass that criteria perfectly. The biggest drawback to this style would be its lack of size. For those who travel and spend weeks or months at the same location, this would not be ideal. But it fits great to the needs of our RV lifestyle. It's very nice to have the maneuverability of a car or van when driving as well as being able to park in any parking lot with out a problem. We can also take our Class B to many places we'd never think of attempting with a Class A or C motorhome. The boondocking (dry camping) opportunities when camping on public lands really set these campers apart from others. Along with driving, we love being able to reach our camping spot, and not having any serious work to get the recreational vehicle set up, while packing to leave is just as simple. Besides maintaining the engine(unavoidable with all motorized vehicles), the basic caretaking is minimal. Whichever you choose, make sure it fits the RV lifestyle that you envision and best of luck on the road. 

Benjamin Fulford Message, "Who's Who"

The recent cabal controlled corporate media frenzy of "disclosure" about things like NSA eavesdropping, politically targeted IRS tax investigations and the Bilderberg meeting are signs of full blown panic

The push to end the illegal rule of the West by a criminal cabal is escalating on multiple fronts as seen by a spate of incidents that seem, on the surface to be un-related. These incidents include the "murder" of a journalist in California, the ongoing NSA leaks scandal, the un-reported kidnapping of US ambassador to Syria Robert Ford, the murder of three free energy researchers last week and escalating riots.

Author and researcher Steve Quayle warned of an orchestrated effort to destroy and takeover the United States and destabilize the world. "They're going to try, the Luciferians, to get the Christians to kill the Jews... the Muslims to kill the Jews and the Christians... they want total social upheaval," he said. Quayle linked a variety of issues, including the Department of Homeland Security's massive purchase of ammunition, FEMA prison camps, and the loss of freedoms in the United States. He also warned of a Russian invasion of America, terrorists bringing weapons of mass destruction into the country, a nuclear attack by Iran, and food prices that could rise by as much as 175% next year.

Matt Taibbi on the Republican National Convention (2004)

Matt Taibbi joined Mark Ames in 1997 to co-edit the controversial English-language Moscow-based, bi-weekly free newspaper, The eXile. Of Exile, Taibbi said, "We were out of the reach of American libel law, and we had a situation where we weren't really accountable to our advertisers. We had total freedom." In the U.S. media, Playboy magazine published pieces on Russia both by Taibbi and by Taibbi and Ames together during this time.

In 2002, he returned to the U.S. to start the satirical bi-weekly The Beast in Buffalo, New York, which he eventually left declaring that "Running a business and writing is too much." Taibbi continued as a freelancer for The Nation, Playboy, New York Press (where he wrote a regular political column for more than two years), Rolling Stone, and New York Sports Express (as Editor at Large). Taibbi said being a journalist was a "career failure. I wanted to be a novelist," he announced at an NYU lecture.

Taibbi left the New York Press in August 2005, shortly after his editor Jeff Koyen was forced to quit over issues raised by Taibbi's column "The 52 Funniest Things About The Upcoming Death of The Pope". "I have since learned that there would not have been an opportunity for me to stay anyway," Taibbi later wrote.

Taibbi became a Contributing Editor at Rolling Stone, penning feature-length articles on domestic and international affairs, along with a weekly political online column titled "The Low Post" for the magazine's website. Taibbi writes for the print edition of Rolling Stone, and contributes to their website in his current blog, "Taibblog". A later online column titled "Year of the Rat" was meant to document the 2008 election season, but it ended after only a few postings.

Taibbi covered the 2008 presidential campaign for Real Time with Bill Maher, and he has made several guest appearances on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show and other MSNBC programs. He also has appeared on Democracy Now! and served as a contributor on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Taibbi is an occasional guest on the Thom Hartmann radio and TV shows.

His July 2009 Rolling Stone article "The Great American Bubble Machine" described Goldman Sachs as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money".
Tackling the assistance to banks given in foreclosure courts, Taibbi traveled to Jacksonville, Florida to observe the "rocket docket" to process foreclosures without regard to the legality of the financial instruments being ruled upon, speeding-up the process to enable quick resale of the properties while obscuring the fraudulent and predatory nature of the loans, and a reluctance to allow public observance of the court proceedings. "Invasion of the Home Snatchers" was published in the November 25, 2010 issue of Rolling Stone.

As financial scandals continued to rock the world during 2012, Taibbi's analyses of the machinations garnered him invitations to nationally broadcast television programs as an expert who could explain the events as they unfolded and their importance to viewers and moderators alike. In a discussion of the Libor revelations, Taibbi's coverage in Rolling Stone was singled out by Dennis Kelleher, president of Better Markets, Inc., as most important on the topic, that had become required reading to remain informed.

Why the Economy Crashed: Financial System, Bailouts, Federal Reserve, Business Cycle

The financial crisis was not widely predicted by mainstream economists, who instead spoke of the Great Moderation. A number of heterodox economists predicted the crisis, with varying arguments. Dirk Bezemer in his research credits (with supporting argument and estimates of timing) 12 economists with predicting the crisis: Dean Baker (US), Wynne Godley (UK), Fred Harrison (UK), Michael Hudson (US), Eric Janszen (US), Steve Keen (Australia), Jakob Brøchner Madsen & Jens Kjaer Sørensen (Denmark), Kurt Richebächer (US), Nouriel Roubini (US), Peter Schiff (US), and Robert Shiller (US). Examples of other experts who gave indications of a financial crisis have also been given. Not surprisingly, the Austrian economic school regarded the crisis as a vindication and classic example of a predictable credit-fueled bubble that could not forestall the disregarded but inevitable effect of an artificial, manufactured laxity in monetary supply, a perspective that even former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan in Congressional testimony confessed himself forced to return to.

A cover story in BusinessWeek magazine claims that economists mostly failed to predict the worst international economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1930s.[158] The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania's online business journal examines why economists failed to predict a major global financial crisis.[159] Popular articles published in the mass media have led the general public to believe that the majority of economists have failed in their obligation to predict the financial crisis. For example, an article in the New York Times informs that economist Nouriel Roubini warned of such crisis as early as September 2006, and the article goes on to state that the profession of economics is bad at predicting recessions.[160] According to The Guardian, Roubini was ridiculed for predicting a collapse of the housing market and worldwide recession, while The New York Times labelled him "Dr. Doom".[161]

Shiller, an expert in housing markets, wrote an article a year before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in which he predicted that a slowing US housing market would cause the housing bubble to burst, leading to financial collapse.[162] Schiff regularly appeared on television in the years before the crisis and warned of the impending real estate collapse.[163]

Within mainstream financial economics, most believe that financial crises are simply unpredictable,[164] following Eugene Fama's efficient-market hypothesis and the related random-walk hypothesis, which state respectively that markets contain all information about possible future movements, and that the movement of financial prices are random and unpredictable. Recent research casts doubt on the accuracy of "early warning" systems of potential crises, which must also predict their timing.[165]

Stock trader and financial risk engineer Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the 2007 book The Black Swan, spent years warning against the breakdown of the banking system in particular and the economy in general owing to their use of bad risk models and reliance on forecasting, and their reliance on bad models, and framed the problem as part of "robustness and fragility".[166][167] He also took action against the establishment view by making a big financial bet on banking stocks and making a fortune from the crisis ("They didn't listen, so I took their money").[168] According to David Brooks from the New York Times, "Taleb not only has an explanation for what's happening, he saw it coming."
