Scandals, Scandals, & More Scandals

Economics" - One of the strangest aspects of
politics is the so-called socialists who argue they are for the people, but tend
to be the most dangerous in society. In ancient Athens, Sparta was able to
finally conquer Athens because she became extremely arrogant and made
unreasonable demands upon her allies. One by one, her allies turned against her
and supported the then communistic state of Sparta, which did not even issue
coinage as the state came first.
Now Russia
and China will hold their first joint naval exercise in the
Mediterranean Sea. The Chinese Defense Ministry announced on Thursday that they
will join Russia in a naval exercise off the coast of Somalia under the stated
purpose of an anti-piracy operation.
Then there is the whole affair of the NSA tapping the cell
phone of Germany’s Merkel. Reports indicate that Obama was actually briefed on
it in 2010 and personally
approved. ABC
reported that Obama knew about the tapping of Merkel’s phone. Der
Spiegel did a write-up on the whole scheme, discussing how the USA
set up a spy nest in Berlin to listen in on all the politicians. This issue
insulted the image of the USA in Germany to such a degree that the government
was forced to investigate.
Even RT reported that
Merkel was on the spy list since 2002. There have been numerous conflicting
reports surrounding the incident.
Then it was said that the document that started the row was
fake, and that Merkel’s phone may not have been tapped. De
Spiegel announced that they stood behind their report. Now, the
claims are that Merkel knew all along that her phone was tapped. It does not
seem that this scandal will go quietly into the light.
Meanwhile, Putin
threatens to release evidence that 9/11 was in part an attack
against its own people by the U.S. government to create a new enemy. All we do
is move from one scandal to the next. Granted, it does seem strange that he
would just threaten such an exposure. If I had such evidence, I would release
it. The claim is that the World Trade Center was intentionally demolished. There
seems to have a widespread belief, which was the case with at least WTC7 – the
old Salomon Brothers building where they took our computers and files. Whether
there were charges placed in the Twin Towers to make them fall has always been a
question, although the design of those buildings was to ensure they would
collapse in that manner. What has not been widely reported, though, has been
that because the government constructed those buildings, they exempted
themselves from their own regulations. There were no sprinklers in the
stairwells.
