Tel Aviv Ramming That Killed One and Injured Seven Was Terror Attack Not Accident, Israeli Police Say

The Abu Jaber family has requested to see additional documentation from the incident, including the policeman‘s body camera footage and footage from security cameras. Police are not releasing the recordings. Omar claims „the police have changed their version [of the story] more than once, and so has the Magen David Adom emergency services – who we [citizens] trust.“ According to Omar, initially, MDA said someone had been shot in the attack, „which adds ambiguity,“ claimed Yousef had a weapon in his car and then later said it was a weapon-like object, and said the Italian tourist had been shot but later denied it. „We still haven‘t seen the toy-gun yet,“ Omar added.

820 Milliarden Euro: EZB-Gelddruckerei überschüttet die Wucherer, die schütten zurück

(5. März 2012)

Die „Übernacht-Einlagen“, die „Angstkasse“, oder besser: das Gelddepot des weltweiten Finanzkartells bei ihrer persönlichen Gelddruckerei, der Frankfurter Zentralbank des Euro-Systems, ist innerhalb von drei Tagen um weitere 43 Milliarden Euro auf über 820 Milliarden Euro explodiert. Die kapitalistische Informationsindustrie, ebenso wie die in zwei Jahrzehnten des Krieges und der weltweiten Expansion des unkontrollierten Interbankensystems („Globalisierung“) versauten „öffentlich-rechtlichen“ Medien erzählen dazu nur Dreck daher oder schweigen völlig.

Die Banken „misstrauen“ sich nicht. Die Banken weigern sich schlicht Geld in den Wirtschaftskreislauf auszugeben und stapeln ihre erfundenen Taler einfach wieder auf den Berg in der Zentralbank, während hier alle in der Währungszone nach Liquidität jabsen und am Besten gleich den ganzen Staat verkaufen sollen.

Dieser ganze finanzextremistische Wahnsinn, für den die europäischen Demokratien, Staaten und Völker nach dem Willen der Kapitalisten bluten sollen und es teilweise bereits tun, wird nun in gewohnt maximalem Zynismus durch genau die Profiteure dieses „pro-europäischen“ Finanz- und Währungssystems benutzt, um durch irrationale Zerstörungswut an den Volkswirtschaften des Kontinents auch noch irrationale Ängste vor etwas zu schüren, vor dem man sich zu allerletzt Sorgen machen kann: das irgendetwas von diesem Geld jemals in den Wirtschaftskreislauf gelangen könnte und dann zuviel davon.

This Is Definitely a Coup. Israel Is on Its Way to Becoming a Dictatorship

It can be very confusing when a “coup from above” takes place. On the face of it, everything looks normal. There are no tanks in the streets, and no general with a uniform sagging with medals interrupts the television broadcasts. The coup occurs behind closed doors, with laws being passed and decrees being signed that remove all restraints on the government, and dismantle all checks and balances. Of course, the government does not declare that it is carrying out a coup. It claims only that it is passing some much-needed reforms, “for the good of the people.”
