Limitations & Blind Spots of Good Investigators, e.g. Karl D

i thought this Denninger video was interesting.

between 6 & 6:30 he mentions the "gold-plated tungsten 400 ounce bar" in the context of "conspiracy theory".  all Denninger would have to do to find out he's wrong is, ask a coin dealer who went to the major coin conference about 2 weeks ago, i think it was the "Hard Assets" conference in San Francisco.  they were warned in no uncertain terms that tungsten counterfeits have been discovered & that there is a criminal investigation ongoing.

so that's life, Denninger is behind the curve on that news story.  He also completely avoids discussion of 9-11 and ZOG.

but - he's the most knowledgeable person i've found yet to explain what is going on in the financial markets.  if the US government followed his suggestions, thousands of Zio-bankers would find themselves behind bars.  but,  he ... just ... doesn't ... want to talk about Zionism.

Muhammad Rafeeq i also enjoy listening to.  i did a web-search, i couldn't find many interviews with him or a website for him but he really seems to know his stuff.

anybody know the URL for M. Rafeeq's website ?

[LordLindsey]

Let me ask the main question that was not asked and SHOULD have been asked...

If this Denniger guy is so great and is such a bastion of knowledge of all things financial and crimes thereof, then why doesn't he tell THE WHOLE TRUTH of who is responsible for the crimes in general and the LITERAL CONSPIRACY that has been put-in-place to enslave humanity?

All the while that bastions of truth and integrity like Denniger "do their thing," we have REAL people like Rafeeq telling the WHOLE STORY and getting almost ZERO publicity...

Someone had said a long time ago that if you are on television or are promoted in any real capacity on a medium to large scale, then you can bet your ass that there is an AGENDA behind that person being pushed upward and onward, whether or not that person *or group* are knowingly involved in the scheme.  Anyone, at this point-in-time, who WILL NOT DISCUSS ZIONISM AS IT RELATES TO FINANCIAL CRIMES is no different than anyone on CNBC, FOX, NBC, etc., etc., etc.

The Talmudists have covered almost all of the bases to "control the conversation" and the reason for the press release campaign a month or so ago was to HELP PROMOTE THE REAL AND GOOD PEOPLE WE KNOW LIKE RAFEEQ.  We need to change this, people, and promote Rafeeq so that his work and persona can compete against the "LIMITED HANG-OUT" that has saturated what people see and hear on a daily basis.

Zio-Denniger has to realize that somebody has to call out the money-grubbing Usurious Idiot Jews on their J.S..
 I think his wife is probably Jewish since he backtracks beyond all reason for a bright guy.  Therefore, I concluded long ago that he will never have the balls to really tell it like it should be told. That the Jewish idiots and their lackeys are largely responsible for the financial mess. Talmudism + Usury + a touch of Freemasonry + Dumbass Corporate lackeys  = the US Federal Reserve system  and theft with later bankruptcy.

He's just a well-informed Zionist Day-trader...

LINDSEY

because it's not in his nature.

he's a techie that got rich off his software company & now invests, who also takes the time to write about the financial markets.

if he is ZOG-aware, he keeps it well-hidden.

that doesn't diminish his utility.

for example - one of the things Denninger does frequently is study the bond purchases, to see when the US gov. is re-purchasing its own bonds (i.e., monetizing the debt).

they've admitted to doing this - $300 billion worth - back in March 2009.  but they've also been doing it on the sly.  Denninger caught it by reading bond registries.

which ZOG-aware journalist would you get that information from ?  i don't know of any.  like i said, M. Rafeeq seems real smart - but all i know about him is his interviews with DBS.

if the US ZOG is printing money, do you want to know about it - or not ?

[LordLindsey]

I do, but we all know and can absolutely feel that we are running out-of-time until this Protocol-inspired New World Order is finally put into place and there is no way out of it.  For the very first time in my life I am beginning to realize that we are in very serious danger as a collective human species, and if you have people talking on and on and on about the SYMPTOMS without discussing the DISEASE, then all that you have is in reality nothing.  There is NO EXCUSE any longer for the "knowledgable" people to not know the truth of WHO is doing what and WHY they are doing what they are doing.  The whole God damned house is on fire and the fucking walls are collapsing around us, yet there are still too, too many people who want to make sure to check that the clothes are folded properly and that all of the lights are turned-off before they leave the house.  

People, we are living in a literal state of complete and utter insanity all around us.  The top 10 internet searches ALL HAD TO DO WITH THINGS AND PEOPLE WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY, and not a SINGLE SEARCH involved anything of real substance like "bank run" or "Gaza crimes".  What is WRONG with you people who defend these talking heads giving us nothing but, at THIS point-in-time, USELESS AND UN-NECESSARY SYMTPOMS?  For Christ's sake can't you see that it is PAST time for people like Max Kaiser and others of his kind to come-out and COMPLETELY TELL THE TRUTH OF WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE!?  I am sick and tired of people going on and on and on about this point or that point and not mentioning ONE SINGLE WORD about the Talmudic bankers...and do you want to know why?

BECAUSE GIVING THE SYMPTOMS WITHOUT NAMING THE NAMES OF THE FUCKING TRAITORS INVOLVED DOESN'T MEAN SHIT BECAUSE "THE PEOPLE" AREN'T GOING TO READ ABOUT IT OR EVEN EVER FIND-OUT ABOUT IT EITHER WAY.  At least if these people would get on national television and begin saying that THE ZIONIST BANKERS HAVE PUT INTO PLACE A PLAN TO ENSLAVE HUMANITY BY BUILDING-UP AND THEN COMPLETELY DESTROYING ECONOMIES...then maybe, JUST MAYBE, "the people" would be forced out of the God damned stupor and realize that we are all in very serious danger from genuine psycho/sociopaths.  

How you can not see what is so clearly in front of your face is beyond me, and frankly it helps explain why nothing, and I mean NOTHING ever changes.  If we all here at TIU can not all agree that every single one of these people on national television have an absolutel responsibility to tell the WHOLE TRUTH, then why are we wasting our time trying to get them to DO THE RIGHT THING...and even more importantly...attempting to reach "the people" with the truth as it is?

LINDSEY

NB:  I am going to say what, again, some people are NOT going to say openly:  After Lisbon II, my eyes were completely opened to the fact that we are in much more trouble as a collective people than even "I" ever had imagined before then.  "The people," in their utter and absolute cowardice and/or ignorance, are condemning every single one of us to the very same fate that "they" are signing-off for themselves, and that is COMPLETELY un-acceptable to me.  For those people who DO command an audience to not tell the truth at this late hour to "the people" so that "they" CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THEIR VERY BEING shows that those people doing the talking and reporting and researching are absolutely no better than those who we all know to be the bad guys doing what they are doing for the FURTHERANCE of the agenda against humanity.  I can not be any more polite about this than I was just now.

[abduLMaria]

If we all here at TIU can not all agree that every single one of these people on national television have an absolutel responsibility to tell the WHOLE TRUTH, then why are we wasting our time trying to get them to DO THE RIGHT THING...and even more importantly...attempting to reach "the people" with the truth as it is?

the people on national television may have that responsibility, but they're quite attached to the large paychecks that come with their status as proganda-readers.  my estimate is that their personal feelings of responsibility are towards "taking care of their families" - with little regard for the moral climate those families grow up in.

"why are we wasting our time trying to get them to DO THE RIGHT THING" - you mean, like trying to get Katie Couric to tell the truth about the assassination of JFK ?  i mention that because back when i watched TV, i watched her engage in the elaborate "LH Oswald did it" charade.

Katie Couric probably will NEVER do the right thing, in terms of the obligations that we think of that a journalist should have.  she's not Piper & she's not DBS & she's not Rachel Corrie.

but i think that most people that visit TIU & TFC - and stay around for a while - learn some very important lessons about history.

Well Maria, it looks like the "Zio" is back in ZioDenniger...

Starve The Beast: Airlines

I've had it with this sort of half-assed response to terrorism:

    Air Canada said in a statement that new rules imposed by the Transportation Security Administration limit on-board activities by passengers and crew in U.S. airspace. The airline said that during the final hour of flight passengers must remain seated. They won't be allowed access to carryon baggage or to have any items on their laps.

    Flight attendants on some domestic flights are informing passengers of similar rules. Passengers on a flight from New York to Tampa Saturday morning were also told they must remain in their seats and couldn't have items in their laps, including laptops and pillows.

Let me make myself clear: I am very interested in not being blown to smithereens by some Islamic Nutjob who believes his personal path to a bunch of virgins lies in killing "infidels."

But let me also be very clear: It is not little grandmas, 40 year old white businesspeople, or families with a couple of young kids (all of whom have the same, non-muslim or arabic last name) that have or are attempting to blow up airliners.

In this case said nutjob recently visited a place known to be a terrorist hotbed, we knew he was there, and even more damning, the NSA knew he was on the plane before it entered American airspace - yet that flight was permitted to proceed all the way to Detroit where he tried to set off his device (and it failed to detonate, most likely because he was tackled by another passenger, thank the Christian God!)

Even better, this jackass' name is "Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab".  Is that your first clue that there's a materially higher risk that he's a terrorist than, say, "Sam Smith"?

The American people have been subjected to outrageous and insane restrictions and inconvenience with regards to air travel since 9/11, all in the name of "improving security."

Let me remind everyone of the following facts, lest anyone forget:

    *
      The terrorists of 9/11 were in the United States for a long period of time before they launched their murder spree.  They were in fact taking flight lessons but refused to learn how to land, which prompted a report of suspicion from the flight school.  These nutballs then overstayed their visas which was plenty-sufficient reason to deny allowing them to board any aircraft and in fact was sufficient to arrest them at security in the airport and deport them.  Had we done so the 9/11 attacks would have failed.

    *
      The terrorists of 9/11 did not take any prohibited item onto an aircraft.  Box cutters were not prohibited items prior to 9/11 - short-bladed knives were considered acceptable in the cabin.  We simply did not (as a collective consciousness) think of an aircraft as a potential bomb, and therefore did not foresee someone trying to hijack one as a means to acquire a bomb.

    *
      Flight 93 on 9/11 is proof positive (as is this incident) that once Americans understood what was going on they were both willing and able to rise to the occasion and stop the terrorists.  It would be even better if we could carry on board aircraft as civilians, but I understand the concern over bullets penetrating things that could cause the aircraft to crash.  However, no such reasonable expectation of aircraft damage is associated with Tasers - so why can't a law-abiding citizen carry one on board?  Had the citizens on 9/11 been armed with Tasers (even a few) "Sir Boxcutter" would have met his twitchy demise in short order instead of being able to carry out his plan.

    *
      ALL recent terrorist activity targeted against The United States has been Islamic.  Argue with that if you'd like.  Tim McVeigh is the last reasonable incantation of "non-Islamic" terrorism you will find.  9/11, attacks over in Europe (e.g. Madrid, etc), Mr. Shoebomber, Ft. Hood and now this - all Islamic Terrorism.

What has been our response?

   1.
      We have refused to profile even though the threat is clearly, at this time, subject to profiling.  While profiling wouldn't stop every attempt, it sure would have stopped this nutball!  Been to Yemen of late have you?  You ain't getting on the plane.  You have a Muslim name? You get the "special" security screening.  You don't like it?  Tough crap - we'll stop being selective when the muzzies stop trying to blow up our airliners and people!

   2.
      We have severely inconvenienced travelers without doing one thing to actually address the problem.  Again, the simple fact of the matter is that changing the prohibited item list all on its own would have prevented 9/11 from succeeding.  Instead of a 30-second change by the FAA to the rules we built another bumbling federal bureaucrazy. (Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose.)

   3.
      We call the TSA "security" but we refuse to make them legally responsible for the luggage they allegedly have control over from the time we check it until it is on the carousel.  Theft from luggage remains a problem and the TSA is explicitly exempted from financial responsibility.  Why?  If someone can steal something from your bag, they can also put a bomb IN YOUR BAG!  The latter makes you (and everyone else on the plane) dead.  Why do we accept this half-ass claim of "security" when it is not backed up by financial responsibility - that what is in your bag when you check it will still be there when you retrieve it?

   4.
      I don't particularly mind taking my shoes off so they can go through the scanner, nor having some TSA dude see my computer turn on (so he knows it's an actual computer) nor do I care if they throw all my carry-on crap through the scanner as well.  Letting them see that there's nothing that goes "boom" in my bag (or more importantly, the bag of the guy who I don't know sitting next to me!) suits me just fine.  But if the TSA is so good at this and so are foreign security checkpoints how is it that this jackass got on a plane with a bomb in his possession?

Now that the TSA and its foreign counterparts have proved they are clearly unable to stop someone from getting on a plane with both a bomb and the means to set it off we're being told that we must "remain seated for the last hour of flight" and that we "can't have access to carry-ons."

Of course you've never been on a flight where the "last hour" is in fact the entire flight less climb-out, right?  Let me clue you in - if you fly from the East Coast to anywhere east of the Mississippi, your flight time - actual in air time - is likely under two hours, and about 10-15 minutes of that is climb-out - that is, before the "seat belt sign" goes off.

Nor have you ever had a "last hour" that was three hours, have you?  I have - more than once.  Indeed, I was once on a flight into Detroit that was literally turned around and returned to the point of origin, allegedly due to "conditions", even though I later discovered that Detroit Metro airport was open at the time and accepting flights.  That "last hour" turned into four, and it was entirely because the prior delay in departure (for which I sat on the tarmac waiting - two more hours!) meant that the airline didn't want the equipment in Detroit.  That's the only reason they turned around.

I won't even get started on the games airlines play with government approval, where "on time departure" means the jetway was cranked back and the aircraft left the gate.  This is why they strand you on the runway with nothing to eat or drink, forcing you to sit in your seat with no access to the bathroom for hours.  It is all about the possibility of being penalized for "late" flights - anathema.  Don't believe for a second the "three hour" rule just adopted will change things materially - is three hours sitting in a tin can with no A/C, food, beverages or access to the can (say much less your carry-ons that might include a book, music player or laptop) "ok" with you?  It's not ok with me.

What this means is that if you brought your laptop to do some work, forget it.  If you want to listen to your iPOD, forget it.  If you want to read a book, forget it - that's a carry on item too.

What's next - handcuffs and leg irons at each seat?

I'll give you my answer to this crap:  Screw that.

I don't have to fly.  You don't have to fly.  Nobody has to fly except for government bureaucrats, and they're welcome to put up with all the crap that we shouldn't and I won't.

I had planned a nice vacation this summer that, surprise surprise, included giving some of my hard-earned money to the airlines.

NOT ANY MORE.

I have tolerated the insane changes in rules that demand I be at the airport more than an hour before departure for domestic flights and two hours for international, simply because the TSA can't manage to run checkpoints efficiently nor put in enough people and machines to keep the line from snaking out the goddamn door.  There is no reason for there to be ANY wait for security screening - the TSA knows how many counters are open at check-in, and they COULD have enough lines and agents to screen everyone with no more than "X" (a small number, say three or four) people in queue for each line - maximum.

I have tolerated my luggage being pillaged (literally) and then being told by the TSA that "they're not responsible" even though the pillage clearly happened while the bag was in their so-called "sterile area" - all the while wondering if the jackass who stole my (expensive electric) razor and a couple of CDs stuck a bomb in someone else's bag while they were at it.

I have tolerated the TSA goons telling me that I can't bring a goddamn tube of toothpaste with me in an overnight bag because it is slightly over 3oz, never mind that I'm perfectly happy to demonstrate by eating some of it that it is indeed toothpaste and is of a particular type that I use on recommendation of my dentist.  Never mind the sealed, unopened 12oz can of Dr. Pepper that I can't bring through security so as to avoid being bent over the table for $4 to buy the same thing 20 feet beyond the scanner.

Never mind the obvious - 3oz (by volume) is more than enough to make a big bang if something bad is in there.  The TSA justifies this of course on the premise that "well we had to balance things out."

I strongly suggest that every American refuse to patronize the goon squad until we do the right thing - that is, profile, staff checkpoints appropriately so there are no obscene waits, make the TSA legally responsible for the contents of luggage in their care and make unlawful the detention of passengers on the ground in an aircraft for longer than is reasonably necessary for that plane to taxi from the gate to the threshold, wait for a couple of planes to depart in front of it, and take off.  That is, force the airlines to not close the door and push back a plane until that flight has a take-off slot on an actual runway within the next 15 minutes.

In the 1980s I flew on People's Express Airlines.  You want to know what "hassle free" air travel was like?  Let me tell you how it worked:

    *
      You showed up at the airport.

    *
      You got on the plane.

    *
      You paid on the aircraft.

    *
      You got off at your destination.

It was a freaking city bus that happened to go a thousand miles or more between stops, and it worked.  Yeah, I know the business failed, but let me tell you - that was hassle-free air travel.

I have tolerated the gradual erosion of what was an enjoyable experience for more than twenty years.

My limit of tolerance has been reached, and I believe yours should be as well.

Vote NO with your wallet.

PS: If you're wondering what PETN, the explosive that allegedly this guy and Richard Reid tried to use will do, here's an example from Youtube.  This is supposedly 50 grams of the stuff - less than two ounces - taped to a tree.  Still think that 3oz "liquid or gel" restriction is all about safety eh?  Still think this was a "firecracker"?  Uh, no.

i know.  it's like watching an idiot savant.

when he's talking about financial stuff, he's a genius.

when he's talking about world affairs, he just regurgitates the official conspiracy theory.

he also won't listen to acquaintances who might try to educate him on the latter (world affairs), and he's so far ahead of me on the former (financial stuff), it makes for a very one-sided conversation.

in the days after 9-11, Pennsylvania TV had an interview with a retired Vietnam Vet who lives in the country in Pennsylvania.  it was his testimony that he saw a commercial airliner fly over his property, with an un-marked fighter jet hot on its tail.  he also said that, one minute later, when they were out of sight, there was a huge explosion.  the vet was also very clear that it was a fighter jet - said he had seen thousands when he was in the service.

that anecdote plus the debris field make it clear to me that Flight 93 was shot down.  even the debris field evidence ALONE makes it clear that Flight 93 was shot down.

i wouldn't even bother to tell Denninger about this.  he wouldn't listen.

but by tomorrow, he'll be back on the scent of the banksters, like a trained hunting dog.

my last question is - i wonder what was the nationality of the un-marked fighter jet ?

IMHO, Blind Spots is what best describes Karl D and most of the United States. I can't believe that KD is "in on it", because he exposes the shenanigans in other ways. It is the almost deliberate "not seeing" that becomes intolerable to those of us who are awake.
How can he NOT see?  How can he NOT know?

It's already a trite example, but Rowdy Roddy Piper fought Keith David for FIVE MINUTES just to get him to put on a pair sunglasses! Why wouldn't Keith David just try them on for one second?
People are so unwilling to abandon their world view.

We've all been in discussions that turn into arguments over petty minutiae. And then the argument might even fold back on itself and devolve into a fight over what somebody just said in the argument! --> That is an example of how people's egos lock onto their world view, and they are unwilling to surrender.

And to motivate their egos in this present example we have the HOLOHOAX! THE MOST AWFUL THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORY. Anyone who talks about "the joos" collectively is fixin to use their fat to make into glue for horses. Again. And shave off their hair to braid it into dog sweaters to sell to rich women in Berlin. Again. And stack them into mile-high piles and light them on fire to use as signal beacons to guide the Nazi submarines. Again.  Oh the horror!

People are unwilling to look at these criminals as an organized collective because, in order to do so, they become part of the evil Nazi scheme. And the Nazis ate babies with their eggs. We know it because we saw it in the MOVIES!

But the movies were made by these criminals, you might say. Put on the Glasses!
