Investment Watchblog  What happens when debt-fueled false prosperity disappears?  Just look at Spain.  The 4th largest economy in Europe was riding high during the boom years, but now the Spanish economy is collapsing with no end in sight.  When a debt bubble gets interrupted, the consequences can be rather chaotic.

Just like we saw in Greece, austerity is causing the economy to slow down in Spain.  But when the economy slows down, tax revenues fall and that makes it even more difficult to meet budget targets.  So even more austerity measures are needed to keep debt under control and the cycle just keeps going. Unfortunately, even with all of the recently implemented austerity measures the Spanish government is still not even close to a balanced budget.

I’m seeing a bigger problem today than I have ever witnessed in my life.

I’m seeing more distrust in government, the police, the military, politicians, just people on the street, and in some cases ourselves.

If we lose trust with everyone then who are we to turn to in times of need?

If as everyone suspects we are looking at a major catastrophic event, then who do we rely on to get help?

The town of Farmers Branch, Texas will be trying to enforce a law that would ban those who have crossed our borders illegally from obtaining rental properties.   The move is designed to address overcrowding and overburdens on schools, jails, housing, and hospitals.  It would seem the good people of Farmers Branch are racists and that they have a problem with drive by shootings being perpetrated by illegal insurgents, which have, in one instance at least, resulted in the death of a two year old child.

Farmers Branch’s law was originally found unconstitutional by the 5th Circuit Court, saying it would interfere with federal authority. Now, there’s a surprise.  Once again we are looking at the Judicial Branch of government examining and declaring what are the powers of we the people.

The neo-cons continue to push to take the food from the poor to replace the monies destined to be cut from the defense budget.  Their ongoing mantra is 46% of we the people pay no taxes while 47% receive some subsidy from the government.

Let’s just look at that.  The majority of the 46% not paying taxes are those who have retired and are living on Social Security and Medicare.  These people paid taxes over a lifetime.  And the majority will not get back even a percentage of what they paid in just to Social Security.

The rest of that 46% consist of the working poor and disabled who make so little that not even the Zionists in the past have suggested that they pay federal taxes, as it would be literally taking the food out of their children’s mouths, not to mention that they still must pay withholdings, hence Social Security and Medicare.

The propaganda coming out of the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Indonesia has taken on a life of its own, here in the good old U S of A.  We are in fact seeing a desperate attempt to revive the false left-right paradigm, propaganda versus counter propaganda.  From the false right we have the neo-cons saying that these peoples from these other countries hate we Americans and are burning our flag.  And then from the false left, we have the counter attack that says the militias are backing down as Libyan citizens protest militant groups.

In the first place these peoples do not hate we Americans.  They hate those posing as our government and if there is anybody protesting in favor of the United States in any of these countries I have to believe they are being paid quite handsomely for doing so.

Back in the day, I sailed on a couple of Pacific cruises with the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). A special shout-out to my shipmates on the Chuck Boat.

America’s relationship with China is a fascinating look at dysfunctional geopolitics.

On an economic level, our fortunes are tightly intertwined. As far back as 18 months ago, I reported about how, while China is America’s largest creditor — and we’re their largest market — China also been developing modified Dong Feng 21 missiles capable of extremely long flight. The potential of threat to Americans and American interests certainly didn’t go unnoticed by our government.

Starting tomorrow, The Word From the Trenches on Republic Broadcasting Network is moving to Studio A where we will now have three hours for our broadcast, 5:00 am to 8:00 am Pacific time, 8:00 am to 11:00 am Eastern.  This is a great opportunity to spread our message of freedom and liberty to a much vaster audience.

It is my hope that our people on this site will step up to make the broadcast a success.  If we can accomplish there the same thing we have on our comments section, our success is assured, as From the Trenches World Report has the best comment section on the net.

I have said it many times, From the Trenches belongs to all of us and the readers, commenters, and contributors make the site what it is and I am proud to be a participant.

Yahoo News  HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston police officer shot and killed a one-armed, one-legged man in a wheelchair Saturday inside a group home after police say the double amputee threatened the officer and aggressively waved a metal object that turned out to be a pen.

Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the man cornered the officer in his wheelchair and was making threats while trying to stab the officer with the pen. At the time, the officer did not know what the metal object was that the man was waving, Silva said.

Steve Quayle Alerts  They likely figure as follows: rather than dealing with a massive protesting crowd in the streets – prevent this to begin with by keeping them in their homes to begin with.

They position snipers all over high places, or in choppers overhead, in any major metropolitan area – they publicize this fact on state T.V. – then when anyone so much as sticks their head outside of their window – well, that’s it for them. Pictures for all to witness at noon.

Occupy Corporatism – by Susanne Posel  As our Constitutional Republic descends into a total Fascist Dictatorship, there is a clear emergence of a police state to facilitate the instillation of this incredible takeover. Americans are monitored at every point of their existence; surfing the internet, speaking on the phone, text messages, emails, social media routines, CCTV cameras on every street corner, TSA internal checkpoints, Stasi networks through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) See Something, Say Something campaign. And the list goes on and on . . .

Coinciding with the severe restriction on our freedoms afforded us by our Constitution; the US government is amassing unmistakable amounts of armory designed for protection against an unknown threat. The DHS have acquired an estimated 2,500 heavily armored vehicles under the cover of Police Rescue.

Do you sit in traffic on the morning commute trying to get an inch ahead of the next guy, while he’s trying to get an inch ahead of you?  Would you consider fighting someone for a would-be holiday gift on Thanksgiving shopping day?  Do you have to endeavor to keep your work noticed so that you get the promotion instead of your co-worker getting it?  Are you sleepless many nights because your income doesn’t quite cover your outgo?  Are you so used to the dog-eat-dog world that you unconsciously nip at everyone around you?

What happens when  you are confronted with kindness?  Can you shed that persona needed in what you call the “real world” long enough to accept it, much less return it?  Do you take it as a sign of weakness and take advantage of the kind person?  Does kindness confuse you?

There is a lot of speculation as to the meaning behind the perceived disagreement between China and Japan over the Senkaku Islands.  Maybe we are not looking at the situation quite right.

It was recently reported that China is working on a deal wherein they will be purchasing crude oil from Mexico and will not be using the fiat US dollar in the exchange.

Is not the fact that Iran refuses to accept the central bank and the US dollar the reason the Zionists are chomping at the bit to invade them?  Was this not why we bombed Libya back into the third world?

As predicted right here on From the Trenches, the peoples of the Middle East and Northern Africa are uniting under a common flag and that would be the flag of Jihad and of course the mainstream propagandists are acting surprised.

For forty years the international elite, using the power of the United States, did implant puppet governments in these foreign states, and of course the illusion we were sold here at home, via the idiot box, was that westernization was being welcomed in these countries and that they were embracing democracy.  It is indeed fascinating that we call so many of these places democracies when they have actually all along been monarchies.

Well we have a new boogie man.  The mainstream propagandists from the false right are reporting that Sufyan Bin Qumu, a Libyan, was released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2007 and transferred into Libyan custody on the condition he be kept in jail. It is now being said that Sufyan Bin Qumu led or at least participated in the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi that killed US Ambassador Stevens and three of his staff.  And do you know what?  We shouldn’t believe one word of it.

Don’t forget, the Obama Administration is still insisting that this latest uprising in the Middle East is the result of a 14 minute clip from an anti-Muslim movie that may or may not have ever existed.  This is the false left-right paradigm in all its grandeur.

C4SS  In 2003, activist Rachel Corrie was run over and killed by an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) bulldozer.  Last month, an Israeli court dismissed a lawsuit by her family.   Rather than holding the Israeli government responsible for killing this woman, the court’s ruling blamed the victim.

Such victim blaming is appalling, but not surprising.  The Israeli government was the arbitrator in a dispute about itself.  Institutions cannot be held accountable for their abusive actions when they hold a monopoly on arbitration and legal accountability.  We have seen this repeatedly in cases of police brutality, prosecutorial misconduct, and war crimes.  The state holds a monopoly on law.  When it commits crimes, it won’t hold itself accountable.  Instead, it will blame the victim.

This is the direction that the world should be taking ie united against the zionist oppressor.  Basically both main religions are peaceful and loving, the hate that divides is coming from outside. 

The Catholic Spirit  Pope Benedict XVI said his three-day trip to Lebanon convinced him that now is the time for Christians and Muslims to bear witness together against violence and in favor of dialogue and peace.

Truther  SWITZERLAND, Zurich — Just two days after the failed 2012 DNC Terror Plot, potentially the most high profile UN meeting ever was scheduled for September 23, 2012, in New York City. The meeting date also falls onYom Kippur which completes the annual period known in Judaism as the Yamim Nora’im or “Days of Awe”. Historically, events involving U.S., Israeli and Iranian presidents are scheduled months in advance, but not this time.

Natural News  Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto’s Roundup chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death. That’s the conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the long-term effects of consuming Monsanto’s genetically modified corn.

The study has been deemed “the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GM food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats.” News of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across the internet, with even the mainstream media seemingly in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors… tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide.
