1. AAMVA to build REAL ID verification hub

Via Homeland Stupidity, the US is using organisations responsible for issuing driving licenses to create the massively expensive, cross-state, “Real ID” card.

2.1 Staged Terror Attacks In Iraq

According to Andrew Marshall, the allied forces’ Task Force Black has been caught a few times detonating vehicles while posing as Iraqis. This is part of a continuing divide-and-rule strategy. Particularly interesting is that they appear to be shipping the cars in from the States, where they’ve been stolen. According to the Sydney Morning Herald:

“The FBI’s counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering some vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior US Government officials.” Further, “The inquiry began after coalition troops raided a Falluja bomb factory last November and found a Texas-registered four-wheel-drive being prepared for a bombing mission. Investigators said there were several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the US wound up in Syria or other Middle Eastern countries and ultimately in the hands of Iraqi insurgent groups, including al-Qaeda in Iraq.”

2.2. Staged ‘violent protests’ in the UK

[this piece comes via InfoWars. It does seem to be reliable, with multiple corroborations from various sources. Added to this, it’s been known for a long time that the State deploys provocateurs at protest events. The question if provocateurs were used in Genova was a VERY hot potato as I recall.]

‘Anti-war MP George Galloway has accused London Metropolitan Police of engaging in “a deliberate conspiracy to bring about scenes of violent disorder” during President George W. Bush’s visit to the UK last week. Galloway has written a letter to the Home Secretary in which he names a senior police officer thought to have been operating as an undercover “agent provocateur”…

I can now confirm that this man was Chris Dreyfus, an inspector in the police.

This man, to my direct knowledge, committed four criminal offences during the 30 minutes or so he stood next to me. First, he repeatedly chanted the arcane, antiquated Americana, “Kill the pigs!” This is a clear incitement to violence, indeed murder. If a Muslim demonstrator had been chanting it, say, outside the Danish Embassy, he would likely now be in prison. Secondly, he repeatedly (crushing me in the process) attempted to charge the crush barriers and the police line behind them. Thirdly, he repeatedly exhorted others so to do. Fourthly, he instructed a young demonstrator on the correct way to uncouple a crush barrier, which was successfully achieved and was subsequently thrown at the police, and was presumably one of the justifications for the deployment of a riot squad which eventually waded in to the protesters.

Home Secretary, there can hardly a more grave indictment of the conduct of the police force in a democratic country than this. People in the labour movement have often mythologised the state’s use of agents provocateurs throughout my 40 years experience and no doubt long before. But, to my recollection, we have never caught one red-handed before.’

3.1 Barclays warns of a financial storm as Federal Reserve’s credibility crumbles

This article comes with an Ambrose warning.

“Barclays Capital has advised clients to batten down the hatches for a worldwide financial storm, warning that the US Federal Reserve has allowed the inflation genie out of the bottle and let its credibility fall “below zero”.

“We’re in a nasty environment,” said Tim Bond, the bank’s chief equity strategist. “There is an inflation shock underway. This is going to be very negative for financial assets. We are going into tortoise mood and are retreating into our shell. Investors will do well if they can preserve their wealth.”

Mr Bond said the emerging world is now on the cusp of a serious crisis. “Inflation is out of control in Asia. Vietnam has already blown up. The policy response is to shoot the messenger, like the developed central banks in the late 1960s and 1970s,” he said.

“They will have to slam on the brakes. There is going to be a deep global recession over the next three years as policy-makers try to get inflation back in the box.”"

3.2 Echoes of Great Depression as Dow takes another dive

[in The Times.]

“The Dow Jones dived a further 350 points yesterday, giving America’s key economic benchmark its worst June performance since the Great Depression, as oil hit a record and analysts said that the fallout from the credit crunch was far from over.”

4. U.K. to Begin Microchipping Prisoners

I need to investigate at what stage this plan is, in fact. This article from Natural News is obviously inconsistent, beginning with a title suggesting this is imminent, to a paragraph suggesting it’s being ‘explored’. Either way, worth reading.

“The British government is developing a plan to track current and former prisoners by means of microchips implanted under the skin, drawing intense criticism from probation officers and civil rights groups.

The Ministry of Justice is exploring the possibility of injecting prisoners in the back of the arm with a radio frequency identification ( RFID) chip that contains information about their name, address and criminal record. Such chips, which contain a built-in antenna, could be scanned by special readers. The implantation of RFID chips in luggage, pets and livestock has become increasingly popular in recent years.

In addition to monitoring incarcerated prisoners, the ministry hopes to use the chips on those who are on probation or other conditional release. By including a satellite uplink system in the chip, police would be able to use global positioning system (GPS) technology to track subjects’ exact locations at all times.”

5. Allotments thefts rise as credit crisis causes vegetable crimewave

[UK]

‘Allan Rees, chairman of the National Society of Allotments and Leisure Gardening, is concerned the problem could get worse as the economic outlook worsens.

“Families are getting poorer and this is one way of putting food on the table,” he said. “I believe they are being sold on. Thieves stole potatoes from my own plot and put the stalks back in place so it was two or three days before I noticed.”‘
