We are very pleased and excited to announce the launch of a new fundraising
drive for the next round of BuildingWhat? TV ads. Before going into the details
of Round 2, here is a brief recap of what has happened to bring us to this
point:
Thanks to the generosity of thousands of supporters across the globe, the
BuildingWhat? TV ad campaign was able to raise $100,000 and reach a
remarkable 1 million viewers in the New York Metropolitan Area during the
month of November, most of them seeing footage of World Trade Center Building
7's destruction for the first time ever.
The campaign also received the media attention it deserved in the form of an
appearance on FOX News? Geraldo At Large in front of a national audience of
1 millon more viewers. After that momentous breakthrough, Geraldo and
FOX News? Andrew Napolitano affirmed their skepticism of the official
explanation for Building 7?s destruction, resulting in a flurry of responses
from other media outlets including CNN, MSNBC and the Huffington
Post.
With the media?s coverage of Building 7 poised to go in one of two
directions?subsiding into nothingness or exploding into a bona fide discussion
about the government's bogus explanation for Building 7?s destruction?it is now
time for us to dig deep and take the BuildingWhat? campaign to the next level.
BuildingWhat? Round 2
This time around, we are setting a fundraising goal of $200,000 that we hope to
reach by January 1, 2011. The TV ad campaign for Round 2, set to launch in New
York City in mid to late January, will be much larger than Round 1, and it will
go hand-in-hand with an online viral campaign, a print ad campaign, and a PR
effort coordinated by top professionals in the industry who are capable of landing
BuildingWhat? more priceless media coverage.
We ask you to support BuildingWhat? Round 2 with whatever amount is
manageable for you. If you donated to Round 1, we are counting on you to
match your previous donation. If you were very pleased with the results
from Round 1?and you are able?we invite you to double your previous
donation. Do not forget that every dollar you donate is fully tax-deductible
when you file your taxes after December 31.
Finally, please help Round 2 be an even greater success than Round 1 by
forwarding this letter to all of your friends and family and posting it
everywhere you can.
We are getting closer and closer to the floodgates being thrown open. If we
persevere and stick together we can make it happen. Please donate now.
Thank you for your tremendous support.
Sincerely,
The BuildingWhat? Team

Think about it. Where is this seemingly staged Wikileaks furor taking us? While we participate in digging into the juicy tidbits of
information that incriminate just about anybody and everybody, where is it all going?
Lessons of 9/11
While 9/11 served as a wake up call to those awake and aware enough to see the obvious demolitions and
misinformation and resultant “Pearl Harbor” effect, most of the world fell for it. And now people are literally bending over, as
in airport ‘screenings’, to the onslaught of police state fascism worldwide. It’s staggering. In fact, it’s
Orwellian. The armies, police and private sector are at war with the vague concept of terrorism – an unbeatable enemy in a war that
can be drawn out indefinitely and fought in any arena necessary.
And what was the result of this declared war on terrorism? Not a war on terror, but an increase in fear and
terror, all to justify the economic, social and political clampdown that has followed.
What will the Wikileaks debacle herald?
You guessed it–the last bastion of freedom of information and expression, a free Internet, will
topple. After all, if information is now the enemy, we must carefully police any and every aspect of this dangerous medium–all for the
safety and protection of ‘we the people’.
Oh, we’ll still have the Internet, just like you can still fly. You’ll just have to be on the
“approved” list, screened, stamped, zapped, mugged and molested if you want to get “on the net”. No biggie. Thanks
Julian–job well done.
Warning Signs
#1. Wikileaks—WAY too approved and publicized. Every TV and cable network, press worldwide, official
recognition from every level of government. Heck, he even does a TED talk! Where’s anyone else trying to expose the agenda? Only
Julian. Hmmm.
#2. Biggie: This supposed system fighter says the 9/11 truth issue is “a distraction”. Mustn’t step on your
bosses’ toes now, should we Julian.. Very suspicious if you ask me.
#3. Wikileaks and Assange’s sketchy background:
The WikiLeaks website first appeared on the Internet in December 2006.[15][16] The site claims to have been
“founded by Chinese dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and start-up company technologists, from the US, Taiwan, Europe,
Australia and South Africa”.[5]The creators of WikiLeaks have not been
formally identified.[17] It has been represented in public since January 2007
by Julian Assange and others.
Assange describes himself as a member of WikiLeaks’ advisory board.[18] (Wikipedia)
Also, Assange reportedly wrote for both the New York Times and the Economist which is fishy as
well–not a real enlightened or ‘alternative’ mindset. His mysterious persona also plays well to the Wikileaks furtive
image so people won’t expect to know too much, which also is very ‘convenient’ for keeping anything hidden.
[NOTE: There doesn't have to be deliberate, conscious involvement in some agenda on
Wikileaks' part, but it helps. He, they, could be 'useful idiots' whose program has been conveniently co-opted by the controllers to serve
their purpose. Either way, look for the pattern and the effects.]
#4. Watch the hype: There’s a growing crescendo of anger and hate that is now being
whipped up–to the point that Assange is being called a new kind of terrorist–and more disturbingly, and
as expected, the comparison is now being drawn between Assange and Bin Laden:
Social Media Leaks Categorize Julian Assange As the Osama Bin Laden Of The Internet
The founder of WikiLeaks is not only a wanted man by the American authorities, his now
infamous Web site
WikiLeaks is also under attack by notorious hackers, while its services are being cut-off by Amazon and EveryDNS.net. Although not
officially announced, Julian Assange might be considered today’s public enemy number-one, taking the place of the illusive Osama bin
Laden. Not since 9/11 has any one figure reached such notoriety due to what many consider acts against a state.
Like bin Laden, Assange has no permanent address, does not maintain a headquarters, employs only a select few confidants and has
taken to hiding in covert areas. Younger than bin Laden, Assange at 39 years-old may be a little more mobile than the 53 year-old, choosing
to hopscotch the globe versus hibernating in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
While his face resides on the covers of magazines and newspapers around the world, similar to a Wild West ‘Wanted’
poster, little is known about his day-to-day activities. Like bin Laden’s video addresses, while the CIA and other mercenaries are
seeking his where-a-bouts, it’s amazing that he still finds ways to release updates justifying his actions. (SOURCE)
Notice also how we’ve been hearing about Wikileaks’ exploits for a few years now, giving us time
to make the connection between it and sensational and ‘destructive informational terrorism’. Similarly we heard about Osama
through the Yemen and Nairobi attacks being attibuted to him, imprinting his “brand” on the collective mind which led to the
foregone phony conclusion that he had masterminded the 9/11 attacks.
Ah, ‘But what about these apparent exposures? Would they attack their own?’
Could all these serious indictments against their own just be a deflecting smokescreen to hide the real
purpose? Sure worked last time. So why wouldn’t they risk taking down some of their own to give this psychological operation
credibility?
Pentagon strikes ‘its own’ on 9/11—need I say more?
The Tactic Is Very Familiar – Know Your Enemy
First there’s the Hegelian Dialectic – create a problem, provoke a reaction and then implement
the pre-planned solution. The staged 9/11 attacks, including the internationally inhabited World Trade Center, ‘justified’ the
ensuing wars and worldwide clampdown on freedoms in the name of ‘security’, including the horrendous Patriot Act that was
already written and just waiting for an excuse to be signed and implemented.
Similarly, this attack over the international Internet and drawing in diplomatic communities worldwide by
exposing state secrets from a variety of countries will greatly help usher in international measures in the name of ‘security’,
probably spearheaded once again by the fascist US government with coinciding EU, Canadian & Australian measures. It’s already
under way with the Department of
Homeland Security confiscating websites.
All they need is ‘the right incident” to justify bringing on full control. Like “Internet
Terrorism”? They just can’t use that term enough now, can they. After all, it’s a war on terror, and “if
you’re not for us, you’re for the terrorists.” The ultimate false choice, just like everything else they foist on the
human consciousness.
Pretty clever these ol’ boys. It’s in their blood.
Those manipulating world events belong to a cult, a brotherhood that hides behind many names and guises, and to which they pledge their
absolute loyalty above everything, even their own flesh and blood. Commonly referred to as the Illuminati, this cult has an agenda they
work to fulfill using certain rituals, methods and tactics.
One of their central themes and modus operandums is “Ordo Ab Chao”– order out of chaos. Create the chaos, pitting anyone
against anyone while controlling and fomenting both sides–hence the double headed red phoenix symbol– for any reason, even
killing or exposing their own, to create an illogical madness that they think only they can see through and understand. All the while they
are manipulating world governments, banks, armies and corporate leaders and drawing the net on the outcome they have already planned.
Fear and confusion is the climate they love to foment. As long as there’s a confused and uninformed
populace, the ignorant and fearful masses will be crying out for help from the ‘powers that be’ – the very “powers
that be” that caused all the problems in the first place.
They’re not out to help, they’re out to control. At any cost, by any means necessary.

FIREFIGHTERS FOR 9/11 TRUTH DEBUNK ASSANGE: IRREFUTABLE PROOF OF COVER-UP (VIDEO)
One of the many groups of dedicated professionals insulted by Julian Assange is “Firefighters for 9/11 Truth.” This is their
video. Assange says they are liars but even Fox News now admits that Building 7 was destroyed by explosives.
Assange staked the reputation of Wikileaks on the public never learning about Building 7. Who would want to silence the biggest
controversy in history? Why is Julian Assange doing this? Who is he?

enemies, foreign and domestic.
Julian Assange has attacked them relentlessly.
Those who fight for truth are my heroes as were the first responders who died on 9/11.
GORDON DUFF: THE WIKI-WEASEL, WE THOUGHT WE HAD SEEN IT ALL…
THE “WIKI-WEASEL” VINDICATES BUSH, WAR, TORTURE AND…?
I can only say one word, flabbergasted. When I got the article by Larry Elder, a journalist who is known for finding the real story behind
the story, I nearly dropped. The recent release of diplomatic cables, described by former National Security Advisor Zbiegnew Brzezinski as
“seeded” with “pointed” facts to “favor an agenda” by an “intelligence agency” clearly restores long discredited George “W” Bush to a place
of honor.
The new Strategic Concept adopted by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at its summit in Lisbon, Portugal on November 19-20 reiterated
the U.S.-led military bloc’s determination to expand military partnerships and deployments throughout the so-called Greater Middle
East, including in the Persian Gulf. [1]
The Alliance’s doctrine for the next decade contains the assertion that “we attach great importance to peace and stability in
the Gulf region, and we intend to strengthen our cooperation in the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative,” [2] the reference being to the decision
reached at the bloc’s 2004 summit in Turkey to upgrade partnerships with the seven members of NATO’s Mediterranean Dialogue
program – Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia – and the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council
– Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – to the status of the Partnership for Peace program
used to graduate 12 Eastern European nations to full NATO membership over the last 11 years.
Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have formally responded to the initiative by forging bilateral relations with NATO,
and Oman and Saudi Arabia have cooperated with the military alliance in ad hoc endeavors ranging from conferences to hosting visits of NATO
naval groups. [3]
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is also one of NATO’s 48 Troop Contributing Nations for the war in Afghanistan and provides air bases
to NATO member states for the war in that country. Until recently Canadian aircraft and troops operated out of Camp Mirage in Dubai,
reportedly at the Al Minhad Air Base, where Dutch, Australian and New Zealand military forces have also been based for the Afghan war and
operations in the Arabian Sea.
Britain also employs the Al Minhad Air Base as a “final hopping point” for transport planes to “carry troops and
supplies to Afghanistan.” In addition, the base supplies logistical support to British warships in the Persian Gulf. In the words of a
British military official, “It’s the right distance from the UK and the right distance from Afghanistan, in a safe
country.” [4]
As is evident by the location of the 13 nations targeted by the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, from Mauritania on the west coast of
Africa to the monarchies and sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf, NATO is complementing and reinforcing U.S. military objectives and deployments
from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean. There is a NATO overlay to the Pentagon’s Africa Command and Central Command, converging
in Egypt, the only African nation still in the second command which reaches to the Chinese and Russian borders in Kazakhstan to the east.
The USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Harry S. Truman nuclear-powered supercarrier strike groups are currently in the Arabian Sea along with the
only non-American nuclear aircraft carrier in the world, France’s Charles de Gaulle [5], conducting operations from the Horn of Africa
to Afghanistan.
Over 150,000 troops under U.S. and NATO command are waging war in Afghanistan, including in the provinces of Herat, Farah and Nimroz on
Iran’s eastern border.
In 2004 NATO airlifted Afghan government troops loyal to President Hamid Karzai to Herat province to depose the province’s governor,
Ismail Khan, whose son was killed in the process, and seize the Shindand Air Base, 20 miles from the Iranian border.
Earlier this year the Pentagon announced plans to spend $131 million to upgrade the air base. As a press report last May put it, the
expansion and modernization of the base is occurring “as the U.S. works to strengthen the militaries and missile defenses of allies in
the region and presses at the United Nations for a new round of sanctions aimed at forcing Iran to curb its nuclear program.” [6]
To the south of Afghanistan’s Nimroz province is the Pakistani province of Balochistan, where the U.S. and NATO have been conducting
helicopter raids and surveillance flights and where it was recently reported that “the United States military and its coalition
partners in Afghanistan” have been granted the right to “maintain a presence” at a Pakistani military base in the capital
of Quetta. [7] By some accounts the Pentagon and NATO are establishing an air base in the province. [8]
North of Afghanistan’s border with Iran is the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan, which adjoins Iran from Afghanistan to the
Caspian Sea. In January of 2009 General David Petraeus, at the time head of U.S. Central Command and now commander of all American and NATO
troops in Afghanistan, led a delegation to Turkmenistan to consolidate transit and other support for the war in Afghanistan and to build
bilateral military ties.
Last summer a news source by no means unfriendly to U.S. foreign policy objectives revealed that “The U.S. has gained access to use
almost all the military airfields of Turkmenistan, including the airport in Nebit-Dag near the Iranian border, which was reconstructed at
American expense. In September 2004, at the Mary-2 airfield, U.S. military experts appeared and began reconstructing the facility with the
help of Arab construction companies, which provoked the protest of Moscow….” [9]
North of Turkmenistan along the Caspian coastline, one nation removed from Iran, is Kazakhstan, the largest and richest nation in Central
Asia and one which has a 4,251-mile border with Russia and a 951-mile one with China. [10]
Last month the U.S. State Department signed an agreement with the country that allows U.S. military aircraft “to fly across the
North Pole and through Kazakhstan air space to supply American forces in Afghanistan,” thereby “mak[ing] it faster and cheaper to
send troops and materiel to the Afghan war zone.” [11]
The U.S. has also recently confirmed that it will supply Kazakhstan with six retrofitted UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) helicopters to be used in
the Caspian Sea where border demarcation issues exist among its five littoral nations: Kazakhstan, Iran, Russia, Azerbaijan and
Turkmenistan.
In late October Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev met with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and afterward announced that
Kazakh troops would be assigned to NATO’s International Security Assistance Force headquarters in the Afghan capital. Kazakhstan and
Azerbaijan, on opposite ends of the Caspian Sea, along with Azerbaijan’s South Caucasus neighbors Armenia and Georgia, are the only
non-European nations that have been granted a NATO Individual Partnership Action Plan.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently returned from visits to Kazakhstan, where she attended the Organization for Security and
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) summit in the nation’s capital and met with President Nazarbayev and Foreign Minister Saudabayev to
discuss “various aspects of the U.S.-Kazakhstan strategic partnership,” [12] and afterward to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and
Bahrain.
On December 2 Hillary met with Kyrgyz President Roza Otunbayeva [13] and indicated that the Pentagon has no intention of leaving the
Transit Center at Manas (formerly the Manas Air Base) in Kyrgyzstan where the latest figures estimate that 50,000 U.S. and NATO troops
transit each month into and out of Afghanistan. According to a Reuters dispatch, “Clinton said Washington would examine again in 2014
whether it needed the Manas base.” [14]
On the same day a Kyrgyz website disclosed that Foreign Minister Ruslan Kazakbaev met with Dirk Brengelmann, NATO’s Assistant
Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy, to discuss bilateral cooperation.
Clinton next travelled to Uzbekistan on December 2 in the first visit by a Secretary of State to the country since Colin Powell’s
nine years ago.
During her trip the local press quoted earlier statements by two of Clinton’s subordinates at a subcommittee hearing of the U.S.
House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs on November 17:
Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Robert Blake affirmed that “This administration considers Central
Asia to be an important pillar of our security policy and regional US interests,” and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia David Sedney said, “We must increase our engagement with Central Asia at all levels.”
[15]
Across the Caspian from Kazakhstan, the U.S. and NATO have cultivated Azerbaijan as a military outpost on the sea and in the volatile
South Caucasus region. [16] Azerbaijan borders Iran.
The Azerbaijan-NATO Cooperation Institute and the Romanian embassy – the current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Azerbaijan –
will host a conference entitled “NATO After the Lisbon Summit: New Strategic Concept” in the capital of Baku on December 7.
Recently Borut Grgic, founder of the European Policy Centre’s transCaspian Initiative and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council
– the U.S.-based pro-NATO think tank [17] – stated:
“NATO has a stabilizing role to play in the region, most of all in providing the broader security framework for the countries of the
South Caucasus.
“I think all three South Caucasus countries can become NATO member states….” [18] All three nations – Azerbaijan,
Armenia and Georgia – have NATO Individual Partnership Action Plans and have troop contingents assigned to NATO’s International
Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Georgia is a U.S. and NATO frontline on the Black Sea and in the Caucasus. The American guided
missile destroyer USS Gonzalez visited the Georgian Black Sea port of Batumi last week and on December 3 American ambassador John Bass
stated:
“The United States remains firmly committed to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We enjoy a strong defense
relationship, defense cooperation, and we’re currently working closely with the Ministry of Defense and other ministries in Georgia to
improve Georgia’s ability to defend itself.” [19]
On December 1 the chairman of the Armenian parliament’s Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs gave a lecture
at the NATO Defense College in Rome. On December 3 NATO Deputy Secretary General Claudio Bisogniero met with Armenia’s representative to
NATO, Samvel Mkrtchyan, to discuss current and future cooperation. Armenia borders Iran and has maintained good relations with its neighbor.
It is also a member of the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization. Ties with Iran and Russia will not grow any closer as Armenia
is further integrated with NATO.
After leaving Central Asia, on December 3 Clinton was in Bahrain to deliver a special address at the Manama Dialogue 2010 Regional
Security Summit sponsored by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Her comments included:
“Amongst other things, we seek to strengthen the Gulf security dialogue, which represents our primary security coordination
mechanism with the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The dialogue is designed to bolster the capabilities of GCC partners to deter and
defend against conventional and unconventional threats and improve interoperability with the United States and with each other. We all know
that efforts to deepen cooperation, coordination and transparency among this region’s militaries would yield broad benefits that extend to
the whole range of modern threats.” [20]
The Gulf Security Dialogue is, in the State Department’s own words, “the U.S. Government’s principal security coordination
mechanism with the nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council. The Dialogue supports our enduring interest in the region, focusing on a wide
range of political-military issues, including shared strategic challenges in the wider region and enhancing partnerships in the areas of
security cooperation, counterterrorism, border security, nonproliferation and maritime security.” [21]
Bahrain lies directly across the Persian Gulf from Iran, hosts the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, is an active member of
NATO’s Istanbul Cooperation Initiative and has security personnel assigned to NATO’s International Security Assistance Force in
Afghanistan.
The United Arab Emirates, the only Persian Gulf state that is an official Troop Contributing Nation for NATO in Afghanistan, has just
hosted a two-day Middle East Missile and Air Defense Symposium in Abu Dhabi. On the first day, Deputy Chief of Staff of the United Arab
Emirates Armed Forces Major General Ali Mohammed Subaih Al Kaâ’bi said that “an integrated missile defence Center of Excellence
along with CENTCOM [U.S. Central Command] is now a reality.”
Central Command chief Marine General James Mattis gave the second keynote address on December 5 and said “CENTCOM is eager to engage
in countering ballistic and cruise missiles and providing a robust missile defence….” [22]
The conference’s first plenary session was chaired by Lieutenant General (Retired) Stanley Green, the Vice President of
International Business Development, Air and Missile Defense at Lockheed Martin (and formerly with Raytheon Company), and Major General
Richard Shook, Mobilization Assistant to Commander of the US Air Forces Central Command, gave a presentation on “Regional Integrated
Air and Missile Defense – The Operational Picture.”
Brigadier General David Mann, commander of the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command, delivered a presentation entitled “A
Regional Approach to Missile Defense – The Integrated Air and Missile Defense Center (IAMDC).”
The second plenary session heard from – as they are described by the sponsors of the event – Clayton Holt, Middle East
Division Chief, Directorate of International Affairs at the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency, on the subject of “Ballistic
Missile Defense Overview,” from Captain Hervé Boy, chief of the Program Expertise Office at the French Navy Headquarters, on
“Maritime Assets and Interoperability in the AMD System,” and from Major General (Retired) John Urias, Deputy Commanding General
of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (and Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems vice president for Force Applications Programs),
on “Integrated Air & Missile Defense – A Theater Imperative.”
The December 6 sessions were addressed by Major General (Retired) John Brooks, Vice President, International Business Development,
President, Northrop Grumman International, Inc.; David Des Roches, Director, Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Office of the Assistant Secretary of
Defense, International Security Affairs; the Pentagon’s Colonel Ole Knudson; and Colonel Marc Miglior, Project Officer in Charge, Air
Defense and Ballistic Missile Defense, French Air Force Headquarters. [23]
Last year French President Nicolas Sarkozy opened a military complex – with a navy base, air base, and training camp – in the
United Arab Emirates, his country’s first permanent base in the Persian Gulf. In doing so Paris joined the U.S., Britain, Canada, the
Netherlands. Australia and New Zealand in maintaining a military presence in the country.
The U.S. is consolidating a global interceptor missile system not only in all of Europe as was formalized at last month’s NATO
summit, but throughout the Black Sea region and into the Middle East. Two years ago the U.S. deployed an anti-missile Forward-Based X-Band
Radar with a 2,900-mile range in Israel which it staffs with approximately 120 service members, and will station 24 Standard Missile-3
interceptors in Romania.
The U.S. and NATO have also been pressuring Turkey to host missile shield facilities. According to one report, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan “is concerned that Turkey’s participation might later give Israel protection from an Iranian counter-strike.”
[24]
Earlier this year Washington announced the sale of land-based interceptor missiles to Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
It has supplied both Patriot Advanced Capability-3 and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile systems to Gulf Cooperation
Council states – Patriot missiles to Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia and a THAAD missile shield system to the United Arab
Emirates – and has deployed sea-based Standard Missile-3 interceptors in the Gulf on Aegis class warships. [25] There are currently
three Aegis class guided missile destroyers in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea: USS Halsey, Momsen and Shoup.
On October 21 the U.S. announced a $60 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia for advanced fighter jets, helicopters, missiles and other
weaponry and equipment in what has been calculated to be the largest weapons deal in American history. The month before, the Financial Times
estimated that Washington plans to sell $123 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. [26]
Britain recently concluded two weeks of joint military training with the air force and navy of the United Arab Emirates at the Al Dhafra
Air Base. The war games, under the codename Operation Air Khanjar, included aerial combat exercises with Royal Air Force [RAF] Typhoon jet
fighters and airborne surveillance aircraft and Emirati F-16s and Mirages.
The two countries’ navies also participated as “training increased in complexity as the operation developed, with more
advanced flight manoeuvres and joint exercises with the British HMS Cumberland, which was conducting maritime security operations in the
Gulf.”
“The Royal Navy relies on the UAE for ports, and the RAF participates in training alongside Emirati forces at the Air Warfare
Centre.”
The Emirates’ Al Minhad Air Base, in addition to accommodating Western military aircraft, “provides logistical support to
British vessels deployed in the Gulf for ‘broader regional stability’ and enhanced ties with the UAE.” [27]
NATO has announced that it is prepared to extend its six-year-old NATO Training Mission – Iraq, which has trained over 10,000
military personnel – officers and troops – and internal security forces, beyond 2011. [28]
After the NATO summit in Portugal, an editorial in the Washington Post stated:
“NATO’s Lisbon summit meeting last weekend was encouraging. All of the alliance’s members – and the more than 20
other nations that have joined the international force in Afghanistan – signed on to a plan to continue the mission until at least the
end of 2014….
“The Afghan experience….offers the United States the assurance that should it have to undertake wars such as Afghanistan in
the future, it will not need to act alone.” [29]
When a confrontation – or far worse – with Iran occurs, the U.S. and NATO will have military forces in place all around the
nation.

WikiLeaks, Bernanke, and Hyperinflation
From National Inflation Association
NIA is deeply disturbed by how U.S. politicians and the mainstream media have been calling for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be charged
with treason. Some people in Washington are even calling for the assassination of Assange like he is some kind of a terrorist, all because he
helped spread the truth about our country's foreign policy and other sensitive topics. The U.S. is in very serious trouble if it has now
become a crime to speak the truth.
In recent years with the help of the Internet, there has been a rise in alternative media sites that speak the truth, while the mainstream
media has simultaneously experienced collapsing television ratings and newspaper circulation levels. CNBC's average television show now only
has 47,000 U.S. viewers in the 25-54 demographic, down 36% from one year ago. NIA's latest inflationary depression update video has already
surpassed 47,000 views, and we don't have the advantage of being on cable television in 95 million American homes.
Americans today have an appetite for the truth. For decades, Americans were brainwashed into believing anything the mainstream media said as
the truth. Now that America is waking up and realizing that they have been deceived and lied to their whole lives by the mainstream media,
the media is losing its stranglehold over the public. The politicians and corporate elites who control the media are becoming very scared.
Although NIA is not a supporter of Assange, we are a supporter of constitutional rights and there is no more important constitutional right
than our freedom of speech. If Americans don't take a stand now to protect their freedom of speech, the U.S. government soon might make it a
crime to warn Americans about the hyperinflation that is ahead. With the current path our country is on, there is a chance that as the U.S.
approaches the point of hyperinflation, organizations like NIA will be made illegal to exist in the U.S. Those associated with NIA and
organizations like us may one day be charged with treason or targeted for assassination, just for warning Americans to get out of fiat paper
money (U.S. dollars) and into real money (gold and silver).
If there is one American who deserves to be charged with treason, it is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Bernanke, this past Sunday on
'60 Minutes', outright lied to the American public when he said that the Federal Reserve isn't printing money. Less than two years earlier on
the same television program, Bernanke admitted that the Federal Reserve is printing money. However, back then, nobody was questioning the
Federal Reserve's actions. Thanks to alternative media organizations that have worked tirelessly to help expose the Federal Reserve's
dangerous and destructive actions, Americans are starting to finally question the Federal Reserve and Bernanke is now clearly on the
defensive.
Bernanke's lie on '60 Minutes' that the Federal Reserve isn't printing money is similar to the lie he made under oath on June 3rd, 2009, when
he testified in front of Congress saying, "The Federal Reserve will not monetize the debt." Today, the Federal Reserve is monetizing the debt
(as admitted by both the Kansas City and Dallas Fed Presidents). When Bernanke uses the term "quantitative easing", he is insulting the
intelligence of Americans. "Quantitative easing" is nothing more than printing money.
Bernanke said in his interview that the purpose of the Federal Reserve's "quantitative easing" is to keep interest rates low, but the yield
on 10-year U.S. treasuries rose to a new six month high today. The truth is, "quantitative easing" is causing interest rates to rise because
all of the money being printed is about to cause an outbreak of massive price inflation. The yield on the 10-year bond has risen by 38 basis
points during the past three days alone and is now up to 3.26%. NIA continues to believe that interest rates have seen their lows and yields
on the 10-year bond will likely rise above 4% in the first half of 2011.
When the 10-year bond yield rises to above 4%, instead of Bernanke admitting that he lied to the American public and his money printing
actually caused interest rates to rise, Bernanke will likely claim that his "quantitative easing" just wasn't large enough. Bernanke will use
rising interest rates as an excuse to expand the size of QE2 and/or possibly launch QE3. Remember, every 1% rise in interest rates means an
extra $100 billion that will need to be spent each year on interest payments on our national debt. Rising interest payments on our national
debt can only be paid by Bernanke printing even more money.
Bernanke promises that he won't let price inflation in the U.S. rise above 2%, but all Americans who live in the real world realize that
price inflation is already well above 2%. Whether it be food, gas, heat, clothes, healthcare, college tuition, entertainment, or just about
anything else, prices have risen over the past twelve months for just about all goods and services in America by a lot more than 2%. It is a
real shame that absolutely nobody in the mainstream media has acknowledged this fact and called Bernanke out on it. Bernanke deserves to be
impeached for his previous acts of perjury and for blatantly ignoring the price inflation that exists all around us.
Bernanke is currently leading a misinformation campaign that will prevent the majority of Americans from preparing for and surviving U.S.
hyperinflation. Bernanke's misinformation campaign is similar to what took place in Weimar Germany in the 1920s when they experienced
hyperinflation. In Weimar Germany, the misinformed public always focused on rising prices, but never understood that prices were rising
because the German mark was losing its purchasing power.
The Germans believed that there was a shortage of marks and it was therefore necessary to print as many marks as possible. Germans placed all
of the blame for their crisis on the symptoms of inflation. They blamed greedy tourists, selfish industrialists and profiteers, the wage
demands of labourers, speculators in Germany who were buying foreign currencies and sending their wealth out of the country, and other
nations that were buying up German assets with foreign currencies. They failed to grasp that it was their government's own printing of marks
and increasing the money supply that caused the inflationary disease.
Bernanke is trying to convince the world that he can create an economic recovery through "quantitative easing" (printing money), without
creating price inflation, because he claims to have the tools to unwind the Federal Reserve's massive asset purchases. He is trying to trick
the world into believing that he has the ability to pinpoint an exact time in which the U.S. economy is recovering without massive price
inflation, where he can exit his inflationary strategy before prices start to dramatically rise. Bernanke has no exit strategy that he can
implement without sending the U.S. economy into the next Great Depression.
Bernanke, being a self-proclaimed scholar of the Great Depression, is not going to allow another one to occur. Bernanke didn't like the
market's reaction when he allowed Lehman Brothers to fail (the only right decision he made during the whole panic of 2008). After the failure
of Lehman Brothers caused the stock market to crash, Bernanke didn't allow another major U.S. bank to fail. NIA predicts that we will one day
see Bernanke attempt to launch his exit strategy by raising the Federal Funds Rate, but as soon as the stock market begins to go south like
in late-2008, Bernanke will reverse his decision and either lower the Federal Funds Rate again or leave it at artificially low levels until
the U.S. dollar loses all of its purchasing power.
One organization out there that has perhaps played the largest role in helping expose the Federal Reserve's manipulation of gold and silver
prices is the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA). NIA considers GATA's President Bill Murphy to be a hero for having the courage to
expose evidence of gold and silver price manipulation at the CFTC hearing on position limits that was held on March 25th of this year. A
short time after the hearing took place, Murphy was leaving a restaurant less than two blocks from where he lives when somebody jumped out
from behind a wall and sucker-punched him with brass knuckles. He was knocked out cold and thought his jaw was broken. NIA just conducted a
shocking interview with Bill Murphy that we will be releasing Friday evening. You will definitely want to listen to this interview.
It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive
hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us
