PARIS — Senior officials from Western powers discussed the possibility of new sanctions on Iran on Friday for flouting the United Nations Security Council’s demands and expressed disappointment that Iran had not yet accepted a draft agreement to export most of its enriched uranium for nuclear fuel.
The officials met in Brussels to discuss where matters stand with Iran and the possibility of new sanctions should Iran continue to play for time. While a joint statement after the meeting was expressed in diplomatic language, the meeting itself was a sign of exasperation with Iran.
Even President Obama, who has been most willing to give Iran time to decide on the proposal, as a means to broader negotiations with the United States, said Thursday in South Korea that because Iran had not agreed to the proposal, the United States would begin “developing a package of potential steps that we could take that will indicate our seriousness to Iran.”

As the Rothschilds own both majority ownership in the Federal Reserve and most of the world’s physical gold – several trillion dollars worth – then when the dollar tanks won’t going to a gold standard still keep the foxes in charge of the hen house? Would not the arrest and confiscation of the Rothschild’s gold holdings for their crimes against humanity make a little sense? The Rothschilds have been behind most of the wars of the last two centuries, the several presidential assassinations (for attempts to move away from a private central bank), the Soviet and Chinese Communist governments’ killing of tens of millions, the NWO and most the other bad stuff for a very long time. If we leave them in charge then we might as well just accept that we are slaves and submit to their will – even if it includes our extermination. I’m pretty sure anyone thinking about this would agree that taking them out is a much better idea. Why has not someone well educated in the economics of gold and fiat not written on this subject? It makes me believe all the gold standard proponents are just Rothschild/NWO shills – is that the case?

Timbo, you raise some good points. I do believe that much of the gold standard “movement” on some level must be implicitly coordinated by NWO. We can trace this even back to Ludwig von Mises and note his positions of power. We can see that these issues are getting too much mainstream attention now and possibly will be used as an attempt by NWO to retain power if the Federal Reserve scheme goes bust. Most gold standard proponents however are definitely well-intentioned. Most of them don’t believe in the “conspiracy theories” about the Rothschilds because they’ve been conditioned to reject these as either crazy or evidence of Nazi racism or whatever, and most of them don’t understand history well enough to know that most of these “conspiracy theories” in fact are true. However, even taking into account the possibility of confiscating the gold from these forces, there are still problems with a gold standard as such (it solves the problem of hyperinflation but can lead to deflation). You might however want to look into the theories of the economist Lyndon LaRouche, who opposes a national gold standard but favors inclusion of gold as a mechanism helping to enable a global fixed exchange rate system (which is too complicated to get into here). Floating currency exchanges of course have enabled the financial parasites to inflict terrible horrors onto nations and currency trading itself is a ghastly thing (there are actually people who “make a living” simply buying money with other money and selling it at opportune times!). But anyway, my view is that most proponents of the gold standard as such simply lack proper imagination and abstract thought on issues dealing with money, causing them to believe a nation’s money supply absolutely must be attached to something to function, when in reality we’ve clearly seen historical instances where a pure fiat system did not have negative results (watch The Money Masters and note the example of Lincoln’s greenbacks).

The heros of World War 3 will be farmers.
World War 3 will more likely be called ‘The Famine War’.
The most important thing for the states to do is maintain constitutional government where their own state congress controls the issuance of coins.
You simply need viable state mining and minting programs. Make silver the standard currency since its more abundant than gold and can lubricate the gears of economy.
Your congress needs to get rid of all the parasitical beurocracies that opress folks from producing and then pay all farmers in real silver coins.
This is one of the few if not the only options we have in order to keep from starving to death and will probably happen spontaneously, at least in regions that survive the war. Beware in a famine war, everyone actually is a potential threat to you (not the media terrorist nonsense anymore), and I’m afraid for the few who were smart and stored food but will be pileaged and murdered by masses of morons who did not.
Christian saints and survivors welcome in Utah. I’m in Utah and I’m anticipating an enourmous influx of American refugees seeking peace from war. I plan to greet you with love, the way Jesus Christ would want me to. I know that inasmuch as I help these starving and ragged wanderers, God in Heaven will help me and in ways I have not imagined if I have faith and patience.
God bless America.

Why does the USA finance Israeli holy wars? The USA has vetoed UN attempts to stop human rights violations about 70 times in the last 50 years. Most of the human rights violations that were vetoed occured in the Middle East by “you know who”.

Supreme Court now has Obama Citizenship Concern
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. – In a move certain to fuel the debate over
Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group Americans for
Freedom of Information has Released copies of President Obama’s
college transcripts from Occidental College Released today, the
transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro,
received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an
undergraduate at the school.
The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with
a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court
of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied
for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students
from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify,
for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship.
This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of
Obama’s detractors have been seeking.
Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is
no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking
pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House
as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and
qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in
London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister
Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.
Britain ’s Daily Mail also carried the story in a front-page article
titled, Obama Eligibility Questioned leading some to speculate that
the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official
visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups,
Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on
Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to
serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey.
This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from
serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought
by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification
to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released
the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending.
This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000
in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12
states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his
personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is
still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the
U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to
comment on the matter.

I saw some Foreign Minister saying that all this talk about Iran and developing nuclear weapons had been going on for years and yet, even now, Iran has only 5% grade uranium. I’m sure he also said that 20-30% represented medical grade and to be military grade it had to be approx 90% (my memory is not that great so if I’m wrong please correct me…). It would be many many years before Iran could be a realistic nuclear threat. But they Do have OIL don’t they??

I live with an Iranian. She is my wife. It is definately interesting to hear her point of view and see how much distrust and anger the common Iranian people have of their own government. All of her relatives in Tehran ask us when we call “When is America going to invade and get us out of this mess?, Have you heard anything about America helping us out?”. It’s actually kind of sad to see such good people have such a bad image because of their crappy extremist muslim terrorist government. I hope we do free those people.

The Iranians can do for themselves, and don’t need us or anyone else to “free” them. And if you really do have an Iranian wife and baby, just pack them up, board a flight to Tehran, and see the great-grandmother any time you want! No one’s stopping you, at least not from Iran’s side.

In 1953 the USA trashed the Iranian democracy and installed a USA puppet dictatorship. Iranians did not like living under the tyranny of the USA puppet dictatorship and in 1979 removed the dictator and made hostages out of USA embassy employees to show their displeasure with the USA and its dictatorship puppet government. In the early 1980s the USA gave Saddam Hussein several billion dollars, nerve and biological gas, WMD, technology and many other things to attack Iran. During this war the USA shot down an Iranian civilian airliner killing 290 innocent people. Further, when the United Nations tried to stop Saddam from killing Iranians with the USA supplied gas, the USA vetoed the UN attempts to stop the use of the gas and Saddam continued killing with the gas. After 9/11 Iran offered to help the USA catch the perpetrators of this awful act. The response from President George Bush was that Iran is “evil”. Iran views having nuclear weapons the same way Israel views having nuclear weapons – “for protection”. With both the Israel and its puppet the USA trying to trash Iran once again, it is easy to see why Iran wants and needs protection from them. Hopefully Russia, China and others will stop the Israeli/USA hate mongering attacks upon Iran.
