WND EXCLUSIVE

New details surface on Iran nuclear explosion.

What we are going to wait... The next Iran Nuclear explosion be in The Central Park in New York?

"En mi opinión" Editor Lázaro R González Mino.

Many said to be trapped underground

Published: 7 hours ago
Reza Kahlili, author of the award-winning book "A Time to Betray", served in CIA Directorate of Operations, as a spy in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, counterterrorism expert; currently serves on the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, an advisory board authorized by Congress and the advisory board of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran (FDI). He regularly appears in national and international media as an expert on Iran and counterterrorism in the Middle East.More ↓

Sixteen North Koreans, including 14 technicians and two top military officers, are among those trapped after a Jan. 21 explosion destroyed much of Iran’s Fordow nuclear site, a source reveals.
The source who provided the initial information on the explosion at Fordow has now provided details of the explosion and the degree of the destruction at one of Iran’s most important nuclear sites.
The report, published exclusively on WND on Jan. 24, is being covered internationally by major media, with independent intelligence sources confirming the explosion for the Times of London and the German Die Welt.
But White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Monday: “We have no information to confirm the allegations in the report and we do not believe the report is credible.”
The short White House response, the source said, is an indication that the United States wants to steer away from the subject as any covert operation against the regime’s nuclear installations will have consequences, including retaliation.
Get the inside story in Reza Kahlili’s “A Time To Betray” and learn how the Islamic regime “bought the bomb” in “Atomic Iran.”
The Islamic regime’s media, in a coordinated effort, reflected a similarly short response Sunday night in its denial, and Monday remained silent.
A senior researcher and director of the Centre for Arab & Iranian Studies in London, Dr. Ali Reza Nourizadeh, who has many contacts in Iran, confirmed that the explosion had trapped many inside.
According WND’s source, a member of the security forces protecting Fordow, 36 North Korean technicians and military officers arrived in Tehran on Jan. 15 and 17 and subsequently visited two Iranian nuclear sites under heavy security. One site, still unknown to the West with its vast installation of centrifuges, will be revealed soon on WND. At the other, the Fordow site, the North Koreans were to witness the startup of six cascades of 174 new-generation, speedier centrifuges.
Hamidreza Zakeri, a former member of the regime’s Intelligence Ministry, said 17 technicians and two military supervisors are stationed at the secret site and 14 technicians and two military officers were at Fordow.
The source said a log on closed-circuit cameras installed by the regime to monitor the site’s three centrifuge chambers and two highly enriched uranium reserves gave this account:
  • On Jan 21, 14 members of the North Korean team and two military officers now stationed at Fordow along with Iranian scientists started the process of feeding uranium gas into the newly set-up cascades at 9:15 a.m. Tehran time
  • At 10:43 a.m., due to a drop in power pressure, system warning signs went off, but everything went back to normal after two minutes.
  • At 11:36 a.m., five explosions occurred concurrently in the centrifuge chambers, two explosions in the uranium reserve enclosures and a subsequent explosion in the main hallway close to the exit.
  • At the time of the explosions, a very bright red and purple light distorted the image and an extremely loud noise could be heard. Before the explosions knocked out the cameras, interior walls could be seen coming down within the centrifuge chambers. All the explosions seemed to have been initiated from the ceilings.
  • All cameras on the lowest floor (about 300 feet deep under a mountain) and the floor above it (about 250 feet deep) were knocked out, and only two cameras above the installation where security personnel are stationed were working.
  • Security forces immediately informed their superiors, who ordered them to remain in the monitoring room and avoid further communication with the outside world until counterintelligence forces arrived. Twenty-one personnel were gathered in a conference room to await further instruction.
  • Security forces were then told to close down all surrounding roads.
  • Approximately two hours after the explosions, counterintelligence agents arrived and, after interviewing personnel and reviewing tapes, initially concluded that explosives may have been placed in ceiling lamps with some kind of trigger mechanism controlled by a power voltage frequency.
  • The last images show eight personnel in anti-radiation clothing trying desperately to secure one of the rooms.
The regime believes the technology used with the explosives is unknown to their forces, the source said.
Iranian authorities fear that opening the site from the outside in a rescue mission could possibly release radiation and uranium gas or cause further explosions, which could contaminate thousands of people living nearby, the source said.
As of Monday, the regime had not come up with any concrete rescue plan, though more than 200 people remain trapped, including the North Koreans, he said. He added that an agreement reached last September between North Korea and Iran called for further collaboration on Iran’s nuclear bomb project and the arming of missiles with nuclear warheads.
Another source in the Intelligence Ministry said that in a meeting Monday among top officials, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, it was decided that the international community would be kept in the dark about the disaster because any validation would undermine their current negotiating power with the 5+1 world powers.
It would also undermine the regime from within should Iranians react to its illicit nuclear activity and the international sanctions it caused, which are being felt deeply.
The source added that the regime is contemplating showing old images of the interior of the site to buy time until it can accurately estimate the extent of damage and possible loss of lives. Ahmadinejad will hold a parliamentary meeting behind closed doors on this issue on Thursday.
Despite severe international pressure and sanctions, Iran had refused to halt the 20 percent uranium enrichment process at Fordow. It takes only weeks to further enrich the stock at the 20 percent level to weaponization grade for a nuclear bomb.

¿Puede ser posible?‏


En Estados Unidos, como en Gran Bretaña, Rusia y muchos otros países occidentales, el sistema permite por ejemplo que el Presidente introduzca cambios legislativos sin debate político ninguno a través de las Órdenes Ejecutivas. 

Ordenes ejecutivas solamente en Estados Unidos
·         OE 10990 que permite al Gobierno tener el control absoluto de todos los transportes por carretera y puertos
·         OE 10995 que permite al Gobierno tener el control absoluto de todos los medios de comunicación y formas de comunicación
·         OE 10998 permite al Gobierno controlar todas las formas energía y minerales
·         OE 10999 permite la incautación de todas las granjas agrícolas y medios de producción
·         OE 11000 da al Gobierno el control total sobre los ciudadanos para forzarles a trabajar donde y cuando sean ordenados. Esto incluye el derecho a dividir a las familias
·         OE 11001 da al Gobierno el control absoluto de la salud, educación y servicios sociales
·         OE 11002 el derecho a Registrar y fichar a todos los hombres, mujeres y niños de EE.UU.
·         OE 11003 el control de todos los aeropuertos y aviación
·         OE 11004 permite incautarse de toda la vivienda y finanzas y forzar a la gente a dejarles en lo que se denomina “Areas Designadas forzadas de Recolocación”
·         OE 11005 el control absoluto sobre ferrocarriles, vías de agua e instalaciones de almacenamiento
·         OE 11051 subraya el papel de la Oficina de Planificación de Emergencias y le da derecho a activar todas las Ordenes Ejecutivas en momentos de “tensiones internacionales y crisis económica y financiera”
·         OE 11921 permite a la Agencia Federal de Preparación de Emergencias desarrollar planes para control sobre los mecanismo de producción y distribución de medios de energía, salarios, crédito y flujo monetario en cualquier emergencia nacional indefinida
·         OE 12919 firmada por el Presidente Clinton en Junio de 1994 que dispone todas las órdenes anteriores mencionadas aquí bajo una sola Orden
De manera que sólo hace falta que se active una crisis, y ya vamos entendiendo quién y cómo las activan, para que las leyes nacionales de Estados Unidos y todos los instrumentos democráticos de este país se anulen por completo y se declare (en silencio, por supuesto) una dictadura di facto, con todos los poderes bajo el control absoluto del Gobierno.
Todo lo que se considere “racismo” o “xenofobia” seria delito. Y por supuesto, la definición de ambas cosas la ofrecen ellos también; prevemos que una opinión crítica sobre la masiva llegada de inmigrantes, ante la pasividad de los Gobiernos o la libre manifestación de una opinión en contra de que los empleos de los ciudadanos de un país se pierdan y pasen a manos de inmigrantes que harían el trabajo por la mitad de sueldo, eso ya serían actos de “xenofobia”.
Y de esa forma, se va ejecutando a paso firme la agenda del Nuevo Orden Mundial con el control de cuatro territorios en el planeta Tierra.

El Gobierno Mundial (con un Banco Central Mundial, un ejército mundial y una población bajo control mediático y mental) dirigiría cuatro zonas geográficas:

1. la Unión Europea (una evolución de la Comunidad Económica Europea)
2. la Unión Americana (una evolución del tratado NAFTA)
3. la Unión Pacífica (evolución de la APEC)
4. la Unión Africana (evolución de la OAU)
El estado supercentralizado ya está dividiendo el mundo en regiones administrativas para cuando los estados nacionales y países desaparezcan.

State Bill Would Nullify Federal Laws

Monday, January 28, 2013
 Mississippi defied the union during the Civil War and civil rights era, and at least two lawmakers think it is time to do so again.
Republican state Reps. Gary Chism and Jeff Smith, both of Columbus, filed a bill this month to form the Joint Legislative Committee on the Neutralization of Federal Laws.

Chism said Thursday that the tea party-backed measure is a response to President Barack Obama’s federal health care overhaul and proposals to curb gun violence.

“Certainly, the Obamacare started this,” Chism told The Associated Press, referring to the health care plan, “but then gun show loopholes that the president wanted after Newtown really put an exclamation on that — that we need to do something to stand up for the Tenth Amendment.”

The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says powers not specifically reserved for the federal government are reserved for the states.

House Constitution Committee Chairman Scott DeLano, R-Biloxi, said the bill has a good chance of being debated and that he has heard from other lawmakers who support it.

But Mississippi College constitutional law professor Matt Steffey said the measure is a waste of time because federal law trumps state law when the two are in conflict.

“It is hard to imagine a less productive use of time by key legislative officials than to pursue that which they have no power to pursue,” Steffey said.

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant last week asked legislators to block enforcement of “any unconstitutional order” from Obama regarding guns.



545 dirty People vs. 315’229,000 of US

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then  campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote  on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve  Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435  congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme  Court justices equates to 545 human beings out  of the 300 million are directly, legally,  morally, and individually responsible for the  domestic problems that plague this  country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party.  He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it us follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines is in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ...
If they do not receive social security but is on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can  reject; to regulators,  to  whom they give the power to regulate and from  whom they can take this power. 
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing  what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people and they alone, are responsible.
They and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their  bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Rubio Responds to Jeb: I Never Pushed 'Piecemeal Approach' to Immigration Reform

Monday, 28 Jan 2013 06:18 PM
By Todd Beamon and Kathleen Walter
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tells Newsmax TV in an exclusive interview that if the press is “looking for friction and conflict between Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, they’re barking up the wrong tree.”

The first-term senator was responding to news reports that he and the former Florida governor are bumping heads on the immigration issue — especially after Bush wrote last week in The Wall Street Journal that any effort to address immigration on a piecemeal basis is “short-sighted and self-defeating.”

Rubio had been on record as arguing for a "piecemeal" approach — one in which different elements of broad immigration reform would be taken up as a series of bills, rather than one comprehensive piece of legislation.

Adding to the drama is that both Rubio and Bush are on the short list of GOP favorites for a presidential run in 2016.

But Rubio told Newsmax on Monday that the bipartisan immigration plan announced on Capitol Hill Monday is neither piecemeal nor based on amnesty. He was among the senators who introduced the plan — and many of his ideas to reform immigration that he has been discussing in recent weeks were included in it.

“I don’t think I’d ever call for a piecemeal approach,” Rubio said. “Immigration needs to be dealt with comprehensively. I just don’t know it should be dealt with in one comprehensive bill.

“I’ve always said that maybe the better way to do this is to file four or five separate bills," he explained. "For example, one bill that modernizes legal immigration, one bill that does enforcement, and one bill that deals with the 11 million people who are already here illegally.

“Piecemeal, in my mind, and what he was talking about was, only doing, for example, a high-tech bill and not addressing anything else. Or only doing an enforcement part of the bill and not doing anything else. Or only dealing with the 11 million people and not doing anything else. That would be piecemeal, where you only deal with some parts of the problem but not every part of the problem.

“But this is really a tactical issue: whether you do the comprehensive package of three or four bills or whether you do one big bill that encompasses all of this,” Rubio added. “At the end of the day, what really matters is whether it takes care of the problem.”

The principles outlined in the plan introduced on Monday include:
  • Providing for stronger border security. “It’s critical that we get operational control of the border,” Rubio tells Newsmax.
  • Strengthening workplace enforcement and the nation’s visa-tracking system. “For both the entry and the exits of visitor visas, because 40 percent of our undocumented immigrants entered the country illegally and overstayed their visas," Rubio says.
  • Developing this system for those already in the country illegally for at least five years: Requiring extensive background checks; facing deportation if found to have a criminal history; paying all back taxes and fines; being ineligible for public assistance. “Then, they will be allowed to apply for the legal immigration system, meaning the green-card process,” he adds.
“We have to have a legal immigration system that works. We have to modernize that system that has to work for the 21st century,” Rubio tells Newsmax. “As a sovereign country, we have a right to have immigration laws and we have a right to enforce them.”

The plan introduced on Monday came under fire immediately by several Republicans and conservatives as an amnesty program.

That’s not the case, Rubio said.

“Amnesty is the forgiveness of something and nothing is being forgiven. If you violated the immigration laws of the United States, you’re going to pay a fine. You’re going to pay back taxes. You’re not going to qualify for any federal benefits. You’re going to have to wait in probationary status for a significant period of time — and then, after all of that, the only thing you get is the opportunity to apply for the same green-card process that anybody else would get.

“Amnesty, in my mind, is that we basically forgive what you’ve done wrong and let you start over,” Rubio added. “And that’s not the case here. All we’re giving people here is the opportunity to earn, through a series of steps and measures, the opportunity to file for a green card the way they should’ve done from the beginning.”

He also expects opposition from Democrats, as well as from members of his own party.

“There’s certainly going to be people that are going to oppose it, not just in the Republican Party. There may be some in the Democratic Party, because they think the pathway is too tough or the enforcement mechanisms are too difficult.

“What we have now are principles — principles that enjoy the support of the enormous majority of Americans in both parties,” Rubio added. “Now we have to come up with a law, and that law has details to it — and that’s where reasonable minds are going to disagree about whether something is adequate or not, and that work needs to be done.

Urgent:

“I can’t really expect for many of my colleagues to support something until they’ve seen the details of it. The details matter. One thing is that this law provides for enforcement, another thing is to see whether it really does or not. And that’s the work we’re going to have to do to get buy-ins.

“And, of course, this working group we put together, this bipartisan working group, all this group can do is be the starting point in this debate,” Rubio said. “There’s a lot of work yet to be done and a lot of details yet to be established.”

Also in his wide-ranging Newsmax interview, Rubio said that:
  • While the announced program reflects some bipartisanship on Capitol Hill, “I would caution everyone from over-exuberance. There’s a lot of work to be done here, and there’s still a lot of points of contention in terms of what the details of the legislation should look like.”
  • The Republican Party will attract more Hispanics by appealing to “our principles of free enterprise and limited government. We have a lot of work to do to explain to the American people, to a whole new generation of Americans, why limited government and free enterprise has made us exceptional and why big government will rob us of that.”
  • He, himself, is focused on better serving his Florida constituents right now rather than eyeing a presidential run in 2016. “There’s some important issues we’re dealing with here. What I have learned is that if you do a good job at whatever your job is now, you always have opportunities to do different things later — and they may be things you never envisioned, perhaps things you never could’ve planned for.”

Obama Attacks Fox; Find Out Which Host Fired Back Here

Mytheos Holt
President Obama’s White House has a troubled history with conservative and/or right-leaning media, and has done pretty much since the president took office. The rancor on both sides is generally equivalent.
Certainly, an equal amount of rancor was loosed this weekend from both sides, when President Obama criticized Republicans for being overly beholden to Fox News and radio host Rush Limbaugh, only to have one prominent Fox host fire back accusing him of thin skinned dishonesty.
First, there was President Obama’s comment itself, which he made in an interview with the liberal magazine The New Republic (emphasis added): 
Well, look, I’ve always believed that there are a bunch of Republicans of goodwill who would rather get something done than suffer through the sort of nasty atmosphere that prevails in Washington right now. It’s not a fun time to be a member of Congress.
And I think if you talk privately to Democrats and Republicans, particularly those who have been around for a while, they long for the days when they could socialize and introduce bipartisan legislation and feel productive. So I don’t think the issue is whether or not there are people of goodwill in either party that want to get something done. I think what we really have to do is change some of the incentive structures so that people feel liberated to pursue some common ground.
One of the biggest factors is going to be how the media shapes debates. If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you’ll see more of them doing it.

This mention of Fox by name prompted an angry reaction from Fox host Greta van Susteren, who fired back on her blog with the following criticism:
Apparently President Obama wants his usual media pass and Fox challenges his policies – which happens to be the media’s job.[...]
And do you know what else? Brace yourself for this one! Some Democrats have told me that they want to come on Fox to discuss issues but they get heat from their Leadership for appearing on Fox.  Does President Obama know that? So which Party is intimidating its members? And to say Senator Harry Reid is willing to compromise is just wrong.  He has not allowed a budget to get to the Senate Floor for years to even begin a discussion.  The budget process is where all compromise begins and ends and ended it before it even got started.

This is not the first time the Obama administration and Fox News have clashed. Back in 2009, White House spokesman Anita Dunn called Fox “opinion journalism masquerading as news,” only to be blasted by the network’s hosts repeatedly, and scathingly memorialized by Fox News contributor Andrea Tantaros when she (Dunn) left the White House.


Secretary of State grade inflation  -- When Hillary Clinton testified in front of Congress last week on the Benghazi terrorist attack, Democratic legislators insisted she would go down as one of the great secretaries of state in American history. For what reason, no one's exactly sure. TheDC's Jeff Poor reports:

"The case that Hillary Clinton has been a 'great' secretary of state is 'exceedingly weak,' argued Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume Sunday. According to Hume, the list of accomplishments her proponents use to tout her four years as America's top diplomat is nothing exceptional. 'I think those examples you cited would add up to a case for her competence,' Hume said on this weekend’s broadcast of 'Fox News Sunday,' responding to host Chris Wallace laying out a list of Clinton's alleged accomplishments. 'They do not add up to a case for greatness. After all, the groundwork on Burma had been done by the previous administration and the administration properly followed through on it. You look across the world now at the major issues. Are Arabs and Israelis closer to peace? How about Iran and North Korea and their nuclear programs --- have they been halted or seriously set back?'"

What, pray tell, has she really achieved? You've heard of grade inflation. Well, this is secretary of state inflation. Greatness requires great accomplishments, of which Hillary Clinton doesn't really have any at the State Department.

Kissinger: US on Brink of Nuclear Crisis with Iran

Sunday, 27 Jan 2013 06:35 PM
Former U.S. Secretary of State and Nobel Peace laureate Henry Kissinger is warning that the United States and Israel are very close to facing a crisis with a nuclear-arming Iran.

The 89-year-old Kissinger told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that such a crisis — a full-fledged atomic war — would be "a turning point in human history,"
the BBC reported.

"There has emerged in the region, the current and most urgent issue of nuclear proliferation. For 15 years, the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council [UNSC] have declared that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable, but it has been approaching," he said.

"In a few years, people will have to come to a determination of how to react, or the consequences of non-reaction.

"I believe this point will be reached in a very foreseeable future," he added.

Kissinger called for “serious” negotiations on both sides to avert the crisis. The most important thing, Kissinger said, was for the West to prevent letting things get so bad that Israel is forced to act alone.

"Unilateral intervention by Israel would be a desperate last resort, but the Iranians have to understand that if they keep using the negotiations to gain time to complete a nuclear programme then the situation will become extremely dangerous," he said.

If Tehran gets nuclear weapons, regimes across the Middle East and Africa will want them, too, Kissinger said.

"The danger is that we could be reaching a point where nuclear weapons would become almost conventional, and there will be the possibility of a nuclear conflict at some point... that would be a turning point in human history," he said.

"If Iran acts as a nation and not as a revolutionary cause, there is no reason for America or other permanent members of the UNSC [United Nations Security Council] to be in conflict with it, nor any countries in the region. On that basis I would hope that a negotiated solution would be found in a measurable time."

Comprehensive U.S. Immigration Plan Coming This Week -McCain

Sunday, 27 Jan 2013 03:34 PM
Leading Democratic and Republican senators said on Sunday there were encouraging signs in the push to overhaul U.S. immigration laws - a top priority for President Obama's second term - and they would introduce their plan this week.
With Obama set to begin his push for immigration reform with a speech in Las Vegas on Tuesday, a group of three Democratic and three Republican senators have been working for weeks on a plan.
One of those senators, Republican John McCain of the border state of Arizona, said on ABC's "This Week" program that the group still had hard work ahead but that he was pleased with the progress and that the principles of a comprehensive plan would be put forth this week.
McCain said the plan was much like a 2007 immigration proposal that died during the presidency of George W. Bush. That plan included a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, tighter borders, a guest worker program and requirements for employers to verify workers' immigration status.
The immigration issue was largely pushed aside during Obama's first term as economic concerns weighed more heavily, but the president, who had overwhelming backing from Hispanic voters in his 2012 re-election, cited it as part of his agenda when sworn in for a second term last week.
McCain said the political aspect of immigration reform should sway any Republicans who object to a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
"We are losing dramatically the Hispanic vote, which we think should be ours, for a variety of reasons, and we've got to understand that," he said.
McCain said change also was needed because "we can't go on forever with 11 million people living in this country in the shadows in an illegal status. We cannot forever have children who were born here, who were brought here by their parents when they were small children, to live in the shadows, as well."
Democrat Dick Durbin of Illinois, another member of the six-person Senate group, said on "Fox News Sunday" that work remained to be done but that the progress was encouraging.
"We are trying work our way through some very difficult issues but we are committed to a comprehensive approach to finally in this country having an immigration law that we can live with," he said. "We have virtually been going for maybe 25 years without a clear statement about immigration policy. That's unacceptable in this nation of immigrants."
Senator Robert Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey who is also a member of the immigration group, said on "This Week" that he was cautiously optimistic because of the bipartisan spirit that has prevailed in the recent reform effort.
"I see things that were once off the table for agreement and discussion being on the table with a serious pathway forward," he said.
Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, a Republican who is not a member of the group, said he had spoken with one of its members, who said he was "very optimistic" about reform.

’99-percenters’ not the problem in public pension costs

BY XAVIER SUAREZ
District7@miamidade.gov
The national debate about the local and state public sector rages on. Many on the Republican right engage in reflexive bashing of the public-sector and its capacity to bargain collectively while the traditional Democratic left has found political support (at the expense of financial prudence) in embracing a public union-at-all-costs approach.
But there is a constructive middle ground when it comes to our rank-and-file local and state public employees, the overwhelming majority of whom work diligently and ethically in delivering critical services, maintaining public safety, and protecting our physical environment, food, water and air.
The concept of civil service is quite simple: the rank-and-file, or lower rungs in the employment ladder, are protected by rules that prevent changeovers with each new administration; conversely, the upper rungs in the ladder, occupied by management, are not protected. (They serve at the will of the elected officials or are hired by professional administrators as at-will employees.)
Now let’s talk about salaries and benefits.
Because pension benefits are typically tied to a percentage of the highest salary earned, there are managers who can retire at 50 or 55 years old with pensions in the six-figure range.
Obviously no system, private or public, can absorb such generous benefits. But it should be kept in mind, as we reform excesses in the bureaucracy, that the lower ranks of the civil service are filled with teachers, nurses and nurses’ assistants, rescue technicians, parks, transit, solid waste and public works employees and others whose salaries often never exceed $50,000 and whose pensions usually do not exceed one-third of that, or about $15,000/year even after 20 years of service.
These rank-and-file employees are already seeing their defined benefit plans cut to align more in market value to the defined contribution plans more common in the private sector.
Those are the “99 percenters,” and they are not the problem.
Miami-Dade County has a manager-to-employee ratio (called "span-of-control") of 1-5. This ratio is in stark contrast to the private sector, where a typical span-of-control ratio is eight to 10 employees for each supervisor.
One county department (Fire) has 2,000 employees, of whom almost 700 are supervisors and no fewer than 80 have the title of "chief" something-or-other.
We need to reduce their ranks to something manageable.
We might find that, in the process, the administration of an agency whose services have not changed substantially in half a century becomes much more efficient, as the number of supervisors is reduced and the number of field employees is increased.
In the debate about the public sector, we need to move beyond the outdated platitudes of the left and right, and do something that rarely occurs in the public discourse on this subject — differentiate.
Distinguish between the public sector equivalent of the middle class — the overwhelming majority of our public employees who are essential to the successful functioning of our local and state governments and who earn a fair wage, and those in the public sector who are underperformers or who add unnecessary layers of
management and often draw compensation (salaries and benefits combined) that exceed the compensation of their private sector counterparts.
And if we do that, we will have a lot more people and resources to fill the ever-growing number of potholes in our county.
Xavier L. Suarez is the Miami-Dade County commissioner representing District 7.

Clinton On Benghazi: ‘What Difference Does It Make?’—A Lot, Madame Secretary

January 28, 2013 By Dale Cox 1 Comment

What difference does it make?
Well, Madam Secretary – a big one.
When Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, sat before the Senate Foreign Relation Committee hearing on the Benghazi attacks, her conviction on the matter was certainly not in question. The questions came hard and fast and her answers escalated in kind with frustration. Eerily similar to famous exchange at the climax of the movie A Few Good Men when the “You can’t handle the truth” line was delivered, when questioned repeatedly regarding the misinformation that was delivered to the public via both Susan Rice, ambassador to the UN and the White House, she finally delivered the soon-to-be-infamous line “What difference, at this point, does it make!”
I have no argument with the premise that emotionally charged and pointed questions with the goal of her to admit failure are pointless, but the difference that it makes is this: if during the execution and aftermath, the event was so blatantly blamed on inconclusive and arguably concocted evidence (i.e., a “protest turned violent over a YouTube video, instead of a coordinated terrorist attack) to the point the President actually took that defense to the UN himself —what is it that they were hiding? She’s right, Benghazi was a mess. She admitted and took responsibility for the security and adopted all twenty-nine measures recommended by the investigation, but the clover and clean up—that is the problem.
How is it that the same administration that had a play-by-play seat in the world’s most sophisticated war room during the Bin Laden raid couldn’t review simple surveillance camera feeds and figure out what happened weeks later? The White House made this Benghazi-gate, not the Republicans, by the way they handled it. The American people simply do not like being lied to—it is a matter of trust—and it’s a big one. This is notably not the first time Hillary  Clinton has had to cover for a man in the White House who is not being truthful, and understandably, she’s getting a little tired of it. So are we, Madam Secretary—so are we.

"El hombre es el unico animal que tropieza dos veces con la misma piedra"
Exactamente igual le esta pasando a la comision del Condado de Miami-Dade, aprobo un nuevo impuesto a los turistas para complacer la peticion del dueño del Estadio Sun Life por valor de $200 millones de dolares, igual que ocurrio hace mas de 3 años con el Estadio de los Marllins y el famoso Tunel Mutilado, y en definitiva son los contribuyentes los que pagan los impuestos y los que sufrimos las consecuencias,  de los errores de algunos comisionados
 
Si la comision estudiara los resultados del Censo de poblacion y viviendas del 2010, se daria cuenta que tiene unos 450,000 personas pobres, viviendo muchos con sus familias agredos promiscuamente acinados en Albegues, o agregados en casa de familiares, otors muchos en las calles, comiendo de la limonsas de la caridad del gobierno, o de instituciones caritativas y unido a esta verguenza, el Condado mantiene a mas de 113,000 desempleados, sin esperanza de solucion a corto ni largo  plazo
 
No quiero extenderme en explicaciones, pues todo esto esta argumentado en el articulo que les adjunto titulado ""Los errores de la comision del condado de Miami-Dade", ademas a modo de recordatoio les adjunto los articulos; "Los comisioados de Miami Dade"," El Orange Bowl derrivado antes de tiempo", "Ejl Orange Bowl", "El Sector de la economia que genera mas empleo" y "Las Viviendas Fantasmas"
 
 Que felices y agradecidas  se sentirian  estas 1,667 familias, si con ese dinero hubiesen construido edificios prefabricados con apartamentos de bajo costo, las cuales, integracian el famoso Plan 8, pero siendo la incersion del Estado, en unos 20 años serian dueños de su casa, logrando el "Sueño de su vida" tener su hogar propio..
 
Es preferible como siempre señalo, fabricar nuevas comunidades, incluyendo los edificios, para brindar  todos los servicios publicos y privados  y de esta manera, despues de terminads las vivendas, puedan continuar trabajando como empleados, para atender a todos los pobladores de la nueva  la comunidad.

El cielo es real.



Introducción:
La famosa revista Newsweek sorprendió a muchos en su edición de Octubre 2012 con una portada y un titular impactante: "El cielo es real - La experiencia de un Doctor en el más allá". La revista publica un artículo escrito por un prestigioso neurocirujano estadounidense que luego de haber vivido una Experiencia Cercana a la Muerte (ECM), asegura haber visto y viajado al más allá. Presentamos a continuación la traducción completa de la nota de Newsweek.


Como neurocirujano, yo no creía en el fenómeno de las experiencias cercanas a la muerte. Hijo de un neurocirujano, crecí en un mundo científico. He seguido el camino de mi padre y me convertí en un neurocirujano académico, enseñando en Harvard Medical School y otras universidades. Entiendo lo que ocurre en el cerebro cuando las personas están a punto de morir, y siempre había creído que había una buena explicación científica para los viajes celestiales fuera del cuerpo, descritos por aquellos que escapaban a la muerte por poco.

El cerebro es un mecanismo sorprendentemente sofisticado pero extremadamente delicado. Si se reduce la cantidad de oxígeno que recibe, así sea la cantidad más pequeña, este reaccionará. No era una gran sorpresa que las personas que habían sufrido un traumatismo grave regresaran de sus experiencias con historias extrañas. Pero eso no significaba que habían viajado a algún lugar real.

Aunque me consideraba un creyente cristiano, era más de título que de creencia real. No me molestaban los que querían creer que Jesús era más que simplemente un buen hombre que había sufrido a manos del mundo. Simpatizaba profundamente con aquellos que querían creer que había un Dios en alguna parte ahí fuera que nos amaba incondicionalmente. De hecho, envidiaba a esas personas la seguridad que esas creencias sin duda les proporcionaban. Pero como científico, simplemente creía que era incorrecto creer en eso.

En el otoño de 2008, sin embargo, después de siete días en un estado de coma en el que se inactivó la parte humana de mi cerebro, el neocórtex, experimenté algo tan profundo que me dio una razón científica para creer en la conciencia después de la muerte.

Se cómo pronunciamientos como el mío les suenan a los escépticos, así que voy a contar mi historia con la lógica y el lenguaje del científico que soy.

Muy temprano por la mañana, hace cuatro años, me desperté con un dolor de cabeza muy intenso. En cuestión de horas, mi corteza entera - toda la parte del cerebro que controla el pensamiento y la emoción, y que en esencia que nos hace humanos - se había apagado. Los médicos del Hospital General de Lynchburg en Virginia, un hospital donde yo mismo trabajaba como neurocirujano, determinaron que de alguna manera había contraído una meningitis bacteriana muy poco frecuente que ataca sobre todo a los recién nacidos. Bacterias de e. coli habían penetrado en mi líquido cefalorraquídeo y estaban comiendo mi cerebro.

Cuando entré en la sala de emergencias aquella mañana, mis posibilidades de supervivencia en algo más que un estado vegetativo ya eran bajas. Pronto estas posibilidades cayeron a casi nulas. Durante siete días estuve en un coma profundo, mi cuerpo sin respuestas, mis funciones cerebrales superiores totalmente fuera de línea.

Luego, en la mañana de mi séptimo día en el hospital, mientras mis médicos consideraban si se suspendía el tratamiento, mis ojos se abrieron de golpe.

No hay una explicación científica para el hecho de que mientras mi cuerpo estaba en estado de coma, mi mente - mi conciencia, mi yo interior - estaba viva y bien. Mientras las neuronas de mi corteza cerebral fueron aturdidas hasta su total inactividad por las bacterias que las habían atacado, mi conciencia liberada del cerebro había viajado a una diferente y mayor dimensión del universo: una dimensión que nunca había soñado que podía existir, y que mi viejo yo previo al coma hubiera estado más que feliz explicando que se trataba de una simple imposibilidad.

Pero esa dimensión, a grandes rasgos, la misma que describen incontables personas que han vivido experiencias cercanas a la muerte u otros estados místicos, está allí. Existe, y lo que vi y aprendí allí me ha puesto literalmente en un mundo nuevo: un mundo en el que somos mucho más que nuestros cerebros y cuerpos, y donde la muerte no es el final de la conciencia, sino más bien un capítulo de un vasto e incalculablemente positivo viaje.

No soy la primera persona en tener evidencia de que la conciencia existe más allá del cuerpo. Breves y maravillosos destellos de este reino son tan antiguos como la historia humana. Pero hasta donde yo sé, nadie antes que yo haya viajado alguna vez a esta dimensión (a), mientras su corteza estaba completamente apagada, y (b), mientras que su cuerpo estaba bajo observación médica al minuto, como lo estuvo mi cuerpo durante los siete días completos de mi estado de coma.

Todos los argumentos principales en contra de las experiencias cercanas a la muerte sugieren que estas experiencias son el resultado de un mínimo, transitorio, o parcial mal funcionamiento de la corteza cerebral. Sin embargo, mi experiencia cercana a la muerte no tuvo lugar mientras mi corteza estaba funcionando mal, sino mientras estaba simplemente apagada. Esto se desprende claramente de la gravedad y la duración de mi meningitis, y de la complicación cortical global documentada por los escaneos TC y exámenes neurológicos. Según el conocimiento médico actual sobre el cerebro y la mente, no hay absolutamente ninguna manera de que yo pudiera haber experimentado ni siquiera una conciencia débil y limitada durante mi tiempo en el estado de coma, y mucho menos la odisea híper vívida y completamente coherente que experimenté.

Me tomó meses aceptar lo que me pasó. No sólo la imposibilidad médica de que había estado consciente durante mi coma, pero más importante aún, las cosas que sucedieron durante ese tiempo. Hacia el comienzo de mi aventura, yo estaba en un lugar de nubes. Grandes, esponjosas, de color rosa-blanco, que se presentaron nítidamente en contraste con el profundo cielo negro-azul.

Más alto que las nubes, inconmensurablemente más alto, una multitud de seres transparentes y brillantes se movían trazando arcos por el cielo, dejando largos trazos como serpentinas detrás de ellos.

¿Pájaros? ¿Ángeles? Estas palabras las registré más tarde, cuando estaba escribiendo mis recuerdos. Pero ninguna de estas palabras hace justicia a estos seres, que eran, sencillamente, diferentes a todo lo que he conocido en este planeta. Eran más avanzados. Formas superiores.

Un sonido, enorme y retumbante como un canto glorioso, descendió desde lo alto, y me pregunté si los seres alados lo estaban produciendo. Nuevamente, pensando en ello más tarde, se me ocurrió que la alegría de estas criaturas mientras volaban alto era tal, que tenían que emitir este sonido, y que si la alegría no salía de ellos de esta manera entonces simplemente no serían capaces de contenerla. El sonido era palpable y casi material, como una lluvia que se puede sentir en tu piel, pero que no te moja.

Ver y escuchar no estaban separados en este lugar donde ahora estaba. Podía escuchar la belleza visual de los cuerpos plateados de esos seres brillantes que estaban arriba, y pude ver la perfección creciente, alegre de lo que cantaban. Parecía que no se podía ver o escuchar ninguna cosa en este mundo sin volverse parte de ella, sin unirse con ello de alguna forma misteriosa. Una vez más, desde mi perspectiva presente, me permito sugerir que no se podría mirar "hacia" nada en ese mundo en absoluto, porque la palabra "hacia" en sí misma implica una separación que allí no existía. Cada cosa era distinta, pero cada cosa era también una parte de todo lo demás, al igual que los diseños ricos y entremezclados en una alfombra persa ... o en el ala de una mariposa.

Se vuelve más extraño aún. Durante la mayor parte de mi viaje, alguien más estaba conmigo. Una mujer. Ella era joven, y me acuerdo de cómo era en detalle. Tenía los pómulos altos y ojos profundamente azules. Trenzas doradas enmarcaban su hermoso rostro. La primera vez que la vi, estábamos juntos cabalgando sobre una superficie con un intrincado patrón, que después de un momento me di cuenta que era el ala de una mariposa. De hecho, millones de mariposas estaban alrededor de nosotros, enormes y agitadas olas de ellas, que se zambullían en un bosque y volvían de nuevo a nuestro alrededor. Era un río de vida y color, moviéndose a través del aire. La vestimenta de la mujer era simple, como la de un campesino, pero sus colores en polvo azul, índigo y pastel de naranja-durazno tenían la misma abrumadora y súper vívida vitalidad que todo lo demás. Ella me miró con una mirada que, si la vieras durante cinco segundos, haría que tu vida entera hasta ese punto valiera la pena, sin importar lo que haya ocurrido en ella hasta ahora. No era una mirada romántica. No era una mirada de amistad. Era una mirada que de alguna manera estaba más allá de todo esto, más allá de todos los diferentes tipos de amor que tenemos aquí en la tierra. Era algo superior, que contenía todos estos tipos de amor en si mismo, mientras al mismo tiempo era mucho mayor que todos ellos.


Sin pronunciar una sola palabra, ella me habló. El mensaje me atravesó como un viento, y al instante comprendí que era cierto. Lo supe de la misma manera en que supe que el mundo que nos rodeaba era real, no era una fantasía pasajera e insustancial.

El mensaje tenía tres partes, y si tuviera que traducirlas al lenguaje terrenal, sería algo como esto:

"Ustedes son amados y apreciados, muchísimo y para siempre."

"No tienes nada que temer."

"No hay nada que puedas hacer el mal."

El mensaje me inundó con una inmensa y loca sensación de alivio. Era como si me hubieran entregado las reglas de un juego al que había estado jugando toda mi vida sin nunca haberlo comprendido plenamente.

"Te vamos a mostrar muchas cosas aquí", dijo la mujer, una vez más, sin llegar a utilizar estas palabras, sino transmitiéndome directamente su esencia conceptual. "Pero eventualmente vas a regresar".

Para ello, sólo tenía una pregunta.

¿Regresar a dónde?

Un viento cálido soplaba, como los que surgen en los días más perfectos de verano, sacudiendo las hojas de los árboles y fluyendo como agua celestial. Una brisa divina. Esto cambió todo, transformando el mundo a mi alrededor en una octava incluso más alta, una vibración más alta.

A pesar de que aun tenía una pequeña función del lenguaje, al menos la idea que tenemos de él en la Tierra, sin decir palabras comencé a formular preguntas a este viento, y al ser divino que sentía que trabajaba detrás de él o dentro de él.

¿Dónde está este lugar?
¿Quién soy yo?
¿Por qué estoy aquí?

Cada vez que expresé silenciosamente una de estas preguntas, la respuestas llegaron inmediatamente, en una explosión de luz, color, amor y belleza que soplaba a través de mí como una ola rompiendo. Lo más importante de estas explosiones es que no callaban mis preguntas abrumándolas. Respondían a las preguntas, pero de una forma que pasaba el lenguaje por alto. Los pensamientos me entraban directamente. Pero no era pensamiento como lo experimentamos en la Tierra. No era vago, inmaterial o abstracto. Estos pensamientos eran sólidos e inmediatos, más calientes que el fuego y más húmedos que el agua, y mientras los recibía era capaz de comprender al instante y sin esfuerzo conceptos que me habría llevado años comprender plenamente en mi vida terrenal.

Seguí avanzando y me encontré ingresando en un inmenso vacío, completamente oscuro, infinito en tamaño, pero también infinitamente reconfortante. Era profundamente negro pero a la vez rebosante de luz: una luz que parecía venir de un orbe brillante que ahora sentía más cerca de mí. El orbe era una especie de "intérprete" entre mí y esta vasta presencia que me rodeaba. Era como si yo estuviera naciendo a un mundo más grande, y el propio universo era como un útero cósmico gigante y el orbe (que sentí estaba conectado de alguna manera con, o incluso era idéntico a la mujer sobre el ala de la mariposa) fue guiándome a través de él.

Más tarde, cuando volví, me encontré con una cita del Siglo XVII, del poeta cristiano Henry Vaughan, que estuvo muy cerca de describir este lugar mágico, este núcleo vasto y negro como tinta, que era el hogar de la misma Divinidad.


"Hay, dicen algunos, en Dios, una oscuridad profunda pero deslumbrante".

Eso era exactamente: una negra oscuridad que también estaba rebosante de luz.

Sé muy bien cuan extraordinario, cuan francamente increíble, todo esto suena. Si alguien, incluso un médico, me hubiera contado una historia como ésta en los viejos tiempos, hubiera estado bastante seguro de que estaba bajo el hechizo de algún delirio. Pero lo que me pasó fue, lejos de ser delirante, tan real o más real que cualquier otro acontecimiento en mi vida. Eso incluye el día de mi boda y el nacimiento de mis dos hijos.

Lo que me pasó exige una explicación.

La física moderna nos dice que el universo es una unidad que es indivisible. Aunque parece que vivimos en un mundo de separación y diferencia, la física nos dice que debajo de la superficie, cada objeto y acontecimiento en el universo está completamente entretejido con todos los demás objetos y eventos. No hay verdadera separación.

Antes de mi experiencia de estas ideas eran abstracciones. Hoy son realidades. El universo no sólo está definido por la unidad, sino también, ahora lo sé, definido por el amor. El universo como lo experimenté en mi estado de coma es - he descubierto con sorpresa y alegría- el mismo sobre el cual tanto Einstein y Jesús habían hablado en sus (muy) diferentes maneras.

He pasado décadas como neurocirujano en algunas de las instituciones médicas más prestigiosas de nuestro país. Sé que muchos de mis compañeros se aferran, como yo en el pasado, a la teoría de que el cerebro, y en particular la corteza, genera la conciencia y de que vivimos en un universo desprovisto de cualquier tipo de emoción, y mucho menos del amor incondicional que ahora se que Dios y el universo tienen hacia nosotros. Pero esa creencia, esa teoría, ahora yace rota a nuestros pies. Lo que me pasó la destruyó, y tengo la intención de pasar el resto de mi vida investigando la verdadera naturaleza de la conciencia y difundiendo el hecho de que somos más, mucho más, que nuestro cerebro físico, lo más claro que pueda, tanto hacia mis colegas científicos como hacia la gente en general.

No espero que esto sea una tarea fácil, por las razones que he descrito anteriormente. Cuando el castillo de una vieja teoría científica comienza a mostrar líneas de falla, al principio nadie quiere prestar atención. En primer lugar, el antiguo castillo simplemente ha tomado mucho trabajo para ser construido, y si se cae, uno completamente nuevo tendrá que ser construido en su lugar.

Esto lo aprendí de primera mano después de que estuve lo suficientemente bien como para volver a salir al mundo y hablar con otras personas -personas, es decir, que no sean mi sufrida esposa, Holley, y nuestros dos hijos-, acerca de lo que me había pasado. Las miradas de incredulidad cortés, especialmente entre mis amigos médicos, pronto me hicieron ver la gran tarea que tendría para que la gente comprendiera la enormidad de lo que había visto y experimentado esa semana mientras mi cerebro estaba apagado.

Uno de los pocos lugares en los que no tuve problemas para transmitir mi historia era un lugar que antes de mi experiencia había visto bastante poco: la iglesia. La primera vez que entré en una iglesia después de mi coma, veía todo con ojos nuevos. Los colores de los vitrales me recordaron la luminosa belleza de los paisajes que había visto en el mundo de arriba. Las notas bajas profundas del órgano me recordaron cómo los pensamientos y emociones en ese mundo son como olas que se mueven a través de ti. Y, lo más importante, una pintura de Jesús partiendo el pan con sus discípulos evocó el mensaje que permanece en el corazón mismo de mi viaje: que somos amados y aceptados incondicionalmente por un Dios aun más grande e insondablemente glorioso que el que me habían enseñado de niño en la escuela dominical.

Hoy en día muchos creen que las verdades espirituales vivas de la religión han perdido su poder, y que la ciencia, no la fe, es el camino a la verdad. Antes de mi experiencia tenía una fuerte sospecha de que ese era el caso para mí.

Pero ahora entiendo que esta opinión es demasiado simple. El hecho cierto es que la imagen materialista del cuerpo y el cerebro como los productores, en lugar de los vehículos, de la conciencia humana, está condenada. En su lugar, una nueva visión de la mente y el cuerpo va a surgir, y de hecho ya está emergiendo. Este punto de vista es científico y espiritual en igual medida y valorará lo que los más grandes científicos de la historia siempre se han valorado por sobre todo: la verdad.

Esta nueva imagen de la realidad tomará mucho tiempo en armarse. No va a estar terminada en mi tiempo, o incluso, sospecho, tampoco en el tiempo de mis hijos. De hecho, la realidad es demasiado vasta, demasiado compleja y demasiado irreductiblemente misteriosa para que una imagen de ella alguna vez llegue a estar absolutamente completa. Pero, en esencia, esta imagen mostrará al universo en evolución, multidimensional, y conocido en detalle hasta cada uno de sus últimos átomos por un Dios que nos cuida mucho más profunda y apasionadamente que cualquier padre que alguna vez haya amado a su hijo.

Aun sigo siendo un doctor, y aun sigo siendo un hombre de ciencia, casi exactamente igual a como era antes de que tuviera mi experiencia. Pero en un nivel más profundo soy muy diferente a la persona que era antes, porque he podido vislumbrar esta imagen de la realidad que está surgiendo. Y puedes creerme cuando te digo que va a valer la pena cada pequeño paso de la labor que nos llevará, y a los que vienen después de nosotros, para llegar a comprenderla bien.

Rusia alerta sobre un inminente ataque terrorista que ocurrirá en USA!!!‏

Another massacre prior to Pre Obama’s 12 February State of Union Address
January 26, 2013
Russia Issues “Critical Alert” For US As Billions Flee American Banks
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers




A sobering “Critical Alert” issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) this afternoon is warning all Russian diplomatic personal and civilian workers currently residing in the United States that an “imminent terror attack”should be expected to occur during the next fortnight, up to and including 12 February.
The three-level alarm system of terrorism threats issued in this report was signed into law by President Putin this past June and includes: Blue Level for elevated alert, Yellow Level for high alert, and Red Level for critical alert.
The MFA in issuing this extraordinary warning cites as one of its “sufficiently critical criteria” the mass withdrawal from the largest US banks this past week of $114.1 billion, the largest amount taken from these banks since the 11 September 2001 terror attacks, and which American financial experts have yet to explain because, in their words, they don’t why.
Equally concerning the MFA, this report says, was Switzerland joining Germany, the Netherlands and Venezuela in demanding that their gold held in the vaults of the US Federal Reserve Bank in New York be repatriated, a move that has brought fear among many American financial experts as to its full implications.
MFA strategic analysts contributing to this report state that these “massive financial moves” by Western elites signal their knowing of an impending crisis about to hit the United States similar to past “false flag attacks”intended to shift US policy, and laws, towards even greater totalitarian measures. 
One specific example citied in this report was the 28 February 1993 “false flag” event, now called the Waco Siege, which killed 4 US government agents and 82 men, women and children, and which led to the 13 September 1994 passage of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) that outlawed the American people from owning the types of armaments used in this state-sponsored massacre. [Note: This law expired in 2004]  
Important to note, this report says, and in using past US history as an example, Russian terror experts “fully expect” the Americans to conduct another such staged event/massacre prior to President Obama’s 12 February State of Union Address where he is expected to demand new gun laws to quickly disarm the citizens of his country, a move that has been cheered by the Communist Party USA.
Not cheering the Obama regimes move to disarm citizens, however, are the gun owners of New York State who are now faced with some of the most draconian anti-gun laws in America, but who have vowed they will not comply in what is being dubbed as “the largest act of civil disobedience in State history.”
Even more disturbing, local Sheriffs across the United States are not cheering either and are vowing not enforce what they call “unconstitutional gun laws.”
The opposition of Americas Sheriffs to Obama’s gun-grab, this report continues, is significant as these law enforcement officers generally, but not always, are the highest law enforcement officer of a County with powers even exceeding those of US Federal government agents.
Quick to react against these Sheriffs, this report says, Obama regime supporter, and Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, this past week stripped all of the County Sheriffs in his State of their arrest powers rendering them unable to protect the citizens who elected them from harm. 
Not acting alone, either, this report continues, Attorney General Biden was joined this past week by US Attorney General Eric Holder who began the Obama regimes push against US citizens owning guns, and by Obama’s former Chief of Staff, and current Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, who told Americas banks this past week to stop supporting gun makers.
Where President Putin warned in 2009 that “one is sorely tempted to make simple and popular decisions in times of crisis” and continued by saying “we could face far greater complications if we merely treat the symptoms of the disease” and then adamantly warned the Obama regime of the dangers of socialism by stating “In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state's role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”his words have, apparently, fallen on deaf ears.
To if the American people will continue to allow their once cherished rights to be continually destroyed for the benefit of their elite masters, while at the same time succumbing to any measure of manufactured fear the Obama, or any other, regime throws at them, it still remains unknown.
What is known, however, is that the foe these American people find themselves pitted against is the most ruthless and murderous our planet Earth has ever known…over 150 million previously disarmed dead Russians, Chinese and German men, women and children over the past century can attest to that…so now it’s the United States turn to see who will ultimately win this tragic war against humanity.
