Bombs and Banks

The Boston trash can bombings on April 15 rattled the whole country once again. In their wake, we are starting to see some familiar ghosts from the post-9/11 daze.

Paranoid claims about Arabs, chemical-laced letters, including one supposedly sent to congressman which was laced with ricin. Although ricin is harmless when touched, and only dangerous if ingested. So whoever sent this in, if in fact this is true and not made-up scare propaganda, did it to scare, not to hurt. 

I’m not going to go into an emotional tirade about these bombings and their victims. They are no more special than the thousands of Afghans and Iraqis and others  the US has bombed in the last 12 years from safe distances with their drones like cowards. They are no more special than the thousands of Syrians whom the US-sponsored terror groups target with car bombs and mortars in Damascus and elsewhere in Syria.

Indeed, it is hard to feel sorry for these Americans when one takes into account the vicious terror the US government has unleashed on civilians elsewhere in the world. 

Up to now, the authorities have not found any suspects, and indeed it is taking them kind of a long time to do so. 

The bombs themselves were crude using readily available materials. Instructions for building bombs are only a click away on the internet, so this very well may just be a domestic act of violence.

I my view, one of the following scenarios may be true:

1.       This is the work of a lone-wolf attacker, not affiliated with any group, and it caught the authorities’ off-guard. This may explain the reason why they have not apprehended anyone yet. It may also dispel the notion that this was a false-flag attack.

2.       This is an inside-job and a false-flag attack staged by shadowy government agencies in order to have a pretext for clamping down on civil liberties, take away guns-or anything else the authorities don’t want people to have-or as a raison d’être to start another war by falsely implicating North Korea, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas or any other nation/group the US does not like for political/economic reasons.

As of now, with no suspect apprehended, it is hard to tell what the case is. But unlike right after 9/11, where George Bush and the neo-con criminal gang suddenly and magically pulled Osama Bin laden out of their pockets, a mere 1.5 days after the attacks, no such sudden magic card exists here.

It is also possible that the attackers are never identified and the whole case becomes cold. Something akin to the Kennedy assassination may be in the works and a whitewash, along with a patsy will be trotted out in front of the public.

But if no one is identified, or  some patsy is trotted out who supposedly is affiliated with Iran, Syria, etc, or if suddenly Iran, Syria, North Korea, Hezbollah are accused of carrying out these attacks, then this will be 100% proof that these attacks were indeed a false-flag in order to justify repression at home and war abroad.

There may be another possibility: These attacks were the work of Israeli Mossad agents in order to force Obama’s hand against Iran .  After all, the Zionists have been trying their best to make the most ludicrous accusations against Iran stick with no luck. This may be a last-ditch attempt to fool and rally the public to their nefarious causes.

But there are some things about this whole even that are suspicious. 

Bomb drills were scheduled for the same day. Right after the bombs went off, a cop nearby started yelling that this is only a drill and no one should panic. Why would a cop say this? Plus, police with bomb-sniffing dogs were present in the vicinity of the race the whole day. 

Strange that no one noticed or bothered to check trash cans, so obvious, for any suspicious items. And why are videos of the vicinity of the bomb blasts not yielded any suspects? Are they being confiscated? Why  is there such a delay in making them public? Private establishments nearby most surely have their own surveillance systems which captured something.

If in the coming days these tapes are deemed “damaged”, “lost” or “confiscated” for whatever reason, we can bet these bombings were an inside job. 

Whatever happens, you can bet these bombings will be used to curtail more civil liberties and enact more repressive measures. The government never ceases to exploit chaos to attain more power for itself.

BANKING BLUES

The failure of the banks in Cyprus has led the EU to impose the most nastiest type of resocue so far, a bail-in.

Wealthy depositors, mainly Russians, will be forced to pay a tax on their deposits in order to bail-out the bank. 

The traditional bail-out where a government gives money to insolvent banks to rescue them are gone.

This act which was pulled off in Cyprus is nothing less than theft. To just take bank depositors money to pay creditors is insane. It shows what a miserable failure the EU and the free-market system has become.

But if anyone thinks that this was a just a one-time thing, then think again. The US government already has plans to take possession of depositors’ accounts, as well as their safety deposit boxes in order to bail-out a bank. 

The money taken from depositors to save the failing bank will be converted to bank stock, which will be worth less than the sum of the money taken. 

Once depositors’ money is converted into shares of bank stock, FDIC insurance no longer applies as stocks are non-insurable. If those stocks go south, people will lose everything with no hope of rescue.

This is the last stage of the fleecing of society by the capitalist criminal complex.

Cyprus was not a one-off deal. Cyprus was a test run, to be repeated elsewhere, and repeated it shall be. It is just a matter of when, not if.

To all those who have their savings in banks, especially the too big to fail & jail fraud factories like Chase, Bank of America and others, beware!

Here is what everyone should do to avoid your money from being taken away:

1.       Withdraw all money beyond what is necessary to pay your monthly bills from your account(s)

2.       Keep all your savings and valuables outside of any financial institutions

3.       Take out all items from your deposit box and stop using it

4.       Divest yourself of any investments and stocks of the big banks and cash it in right now

5.       Invest some money into gold and silver that you can take home with you, not a certificate that can be used to get the gold/silver later, because there may not be a later

It is self-evident to anyone with at least average intelligence that the banking institutions cannot be trusted.

Those who are naïve enough to trust them may end up with empty wallets.
