Is the Genie out?

The uprisings in the Middle East, including mainstays Egypt and Libya, that have captured the world's attention, are quite the phenomena.

True history has shown us most revolutions and uprisings are anything but "spontaneous". From the French and American Revolutions to the CIA overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran and Allende in Chile, uprisings, like wars, have been a mainstay of Illuminati controller manipulation to further their long term ends.

It appears, however, that while the original instigation of this massive outcry may have been engineered by covert 'agent provocateurs' sponsored by the US and an alphabet soup of agencies, they may have unwittingly let the "genie" of the human spirit out of the bottle.

Let's hope so. But it's healthy to be wary of the pattern.

But you also know the Illuminati "steering committee" is all over this one. Their puppet Egyptian "anti-dictator" ElBaradei has been groomed and is in place in the wings, as is the Amerikan takeover of Libya. Even the mainstream press is acknowledging these manipulations as if they know the Egyptians or Libyans won't go for the obvious set ups.

Israeli arms distribution company Global CST has reportedly, under the authorization of Tel Aviv, provided Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi with African mercenaries to clamp down on anti-government protesters.

Egyptian sources have revealed that the Israeli company has so far provided Gaddafi's regime with 50,000 African mercenaries to attack the civilian anti-government protesters in Libya.

The arms company was previously convicted in an African country over illegal deals, News-Israel website reported.

Sources say Global CST had obtained the permission for providing the mercenaries to Gaddafi from the Israeli officials in advance.

Earlier, Global CST general manager had met with the head of the Israeli Intelligence Agencies (Aman) and Defense Minister Ehud Barak and obtained the permission for the measure.

Secretary of state presses Congress to approve $100m. aid to Lebanon; Obama tells Jewish leaders J'lem should make progress on peace.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Congress on Wednesday that Iran is trying to influence the outcomes of uprisings and revolutions throughout the Arab world.

"They are doing everything they can to influence the outcomes in these places," she said.

The US secretary of state told the Senate Appropriations Committee that Tehran is using Hezbollah to communicate with Palestinians, who in turn communicate with counterparts in Egypt. She also explained that Iran is reaching out to opposition movements in Bahrain and are "very much involved" with the opposition in Yemen.

"So either directly or through proxies, they are constantly trying to influence events. They have a very active diplomatic foreign policy outreach," she said.

"But it is also a challenge for the Iranians," she added, "They don't have a lot of friends, but they're trying to curry more friends."

A lawyer for Sirhan Sirhan, the confessed assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, plans to present new evidence at a parole board hearing suggesting that he did not act alone, was potentially brain washed and cannot remember anything about the 43-year-old shooting.

"There is no question he was hypno-programmed," lawyer William F. Pepper told ABCNews.com. "He was set up. He was used. He was manipulated."

Sirhan will appear before a California parole board on Wednesday for the 14th time since his May 1969 sentencing. It is the first time he will be represented by Pepper.

Taking a page from the conspiracies that have dogged the assassination of Kennedy's brother President John F. Kennedy, Pepper plans to introduce new evidence that suggests there was a second gunman who fatally shot RFK in the kitchen of a Los Angeles hotel, following his victory in the 1968 California presidential primary.

Pepper said he believes Sirhan was "hypno-programmed," essentially brainwashed to kill Kennedy and his memories were then erased.

A lawyer for Sirhan Sirhan, the confessed assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, plans to present new evidence at a parole board hearing suggesting that he did not act alone, was potentially brain washed and cannot remember anything about the 43-year-old shooting.

The lawyer's tale has all the makings of a great conspiracy theory, if not a science fiction thriller akin to the "Manchurian Candidate."

"Ten independent witnesses say Sirhan was always in front of Bobby, never behind him," said Pepper, "but the autopsy says Bobby was shot at close range from behind the right ear."

Pepper says he believes he knows who ordered Sirhan to shoot Kennedy, but won't yet say who it is. He said in addition to the parole hearing, he is preparing an appeal.

Pepper said Sirhan is "remorseful" for his role in the 1968 assassination of Kennedy, but the gunman "does not remember anything about the shooting."

The image of Sirhan sitting in a California prison cell in 2011 regretting a crime he does not remember does not jibe with a defiant Sirhan sitting a California courtroom in 1969.

At his trial, Sirhan confessed to the crime and declared he had committed it "with 20 years of malice aforethought."

The astonishing wealth of Libyan tyrant Muammar Gaddafi and his family has been laid bare as countries around the world begin freezing billions of dollars worth of their assets.

The U.S. alone has seized $30billion (£18.5bn) of their investments, while Canada has frozen $2.4bn (£1.5bn), Austria, $1.7bn (£1bn) and the UK, $1bn ($600m).

These assets appear to be just the tip of the iceberg, as no one is yet certain exactly what the family owns around the world.

But they include an enormous portfolio of properties in the West End theatre and shopping district of London - worth $455m (£280m) as well as $325m (£200m) in shares in Pearson, the owner of the Financial Times and Penguin books.

The assets also include a $15million luxury mansion in an affluent suburb of North London.

Nestled among the homes of TV presenters and actors is the eight-bed home with a swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and suede-lined cinema room.

Brent crude oil futures finished Tuesday at their highest level in 2-1/2 years, U.S. crude rose over 2 percent, and investors quest for safety sent gold to an all-time high, on fears political turmoil in Libya would spread to other oil producing countries.

Copper gave up three days of gains to end lower on those same fears and as rising oil prices ignited inflation concerns.

The 19-component Reuters Jeffries CRB commodity price index .CRB was up about 0.75 percent by the day's close, driven higher by the surge in oil, gold, and other commodities.

Brent crude oil futures ended at the highest level in 2-1/2 years on mounting worries Libya's upheaval could spark tremors in other Middle East and North African oil producers.

U.S. crude pushed above $99 a barrel after Reuters reported that human rights activists said Saudi authorities had detained a Shi'ite cleric, fueling fears of sectarian conflict in the world's top oil exporter.

Clashes between opposition supporters and Iran's security forces in Tehran added to investor concerns of unrest and flow of oil supplies in the region.

A flight bound for the Dominican Republic was grounded for three hours at JFK airport Saturday night after it was discovered that a passenger's carry-on bag contained box cutters. How were these items - with their grim connection to 9/11 - discovered? They fell out of the bag as the passenger was trying to stuff it into the overhead bin. Limited carry-on luggage space may be the best defense in our war against Al-Qaeda!

New Jersey factory worker Eusebio D. Peraltalajara had no trouble getting through the TSA screening at the airport Saturday night, despite the presence of three box cutters in his carry-on luggage, sources tell the Post. Once aboard Santiago-bound Flight 83, the flight attendant asked him to stow his luggage in the overhead compartment. That's when Peraltalajara's sinister plan to forget he had boxcutters in his bag unraveled. The flight attendant grabbed the contraband and the plane's 136 passengers and five crew members were evacuated by PAPD Emergency Service Units, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI.

Ailes, who runs Fox News as his personal fiefdom, has been thrust into the spotlight for potentially breaking the law, allegedly telling an employee to lie to feds.

First, let's stipulate that the New York Times scoop last week about Fox News chairman Roger Ailes allegedly urging an employee to lie to federal prosecutors is a real jaw-dropper. The report, based on uncovered legal filings, not only has the media world stunned but it has loyalists who orbit the Fox News world utterly dumbstruck by the revelation.

They're stunned, not because they can't believe Ailes would do such a thing. Instead, they're shocked Ailes left himself so open, so vulnerable. They're astonished that his former employee, Judith Regan, reportedly has Ailes on tape urging her to lie to federal investigators about her affair with Bernard Kerick, a former top lieutenant of Rudolf Giuliani when he served as New York's mayor. With Giuliani eyeing a possible presidential run, Ailes allegedly told Regan to lie in order to protect both Kerik and Giuliani.

In spite of their criticism of unions in Wisconsin, AlterNet has confirmed that leading right-wing pundits are American Federation Television and Radio Artists union members.

When it comes to the Wisconsin union fights, right-wing pundits Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh have a couple of things in common. For starters, have all voiced their opposition to the plight of public employee unions in the state.

On Feb. 18, Limbaugh said on his radio program, "We are either on the side of the Wisconsin protesters or we are on the side of our country." Hannity has featured several guests critical of the union and its supporters, including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, on his Fox News television and radio shows.

The skies could soon be filled with the buzzing of thousands of tiny spy drones trained to snoop on British streets, the Home Office has warned.

They are one of a number of futuristic snooping techniques that could become reality including CCTV that recognises faces and cameras in the back of taxis.

The warning comes as the Pentagon revealed it is pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into new drone technology such as the 'nano-hummingbird' - a tiny remote helicopter equipped with video and audio equipment that can record sights and sounds.
