The amount of fraud in America has reached astounding levels. On the CBS Evening News on 9-10-2001 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld admitted that neither he nor his Comptroller Rabbi Dov Zakheim could trace the whereabouts of 2.3 trillion dollars missing from the DOD. Also on that same night persons unknown backed up a few trucks to World Trade Center Towers 4 and 5 and took about a billion dollars in gold and silver bullion from the Canadian Nova Scotia bank vault and from the COMEX metals exchange vault next door. Also on 911 all ENRON documents in the SEC offices at WTC 7 were destroyed which saved Wall Street a few billion dollars in lawsuits. Also on 911 Dr Jim Willie says Cantor Fitzgerald offices in the North Tower which had all of the documentation on the sale of 3.5 trillion dollars in fraudulent Treasury bonds was destroyed when the North Tower collapsed. He compared the deficit announced by the Treasury to the monthly sale of US Treasury bonds and found that 3.5 trillion dollars more had been sold than the Treasury needed to fund the deficit. Fortunately for the men who participated in these frauds no pesky reporters from the mainstream press have bothered to ask anyone in Washington about any of the above criminal acts.

You might remember Jim Willie as the man who said 40,000 tons of gold allocated in customer accounts had been stolen. We know that NATO also stole 144 toms of Libyan gold and 98 billion dollars in cash and securities. Now Germany and the Netherlands have been asking the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England if their gold is still there.

But we are now entering a whole new era of extreme fraud where the amounts involved have become staggering. The total Gross Domestic Product of the world is a mere 50 trillion dollars. The total level of fraud is even greater than that. That means that the bankers are going to steal everything and leave you with nothing if your assets are either pieces of paper or credit entries in a computer.

Russia's Federal Security Service has identified members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is officially designated a terrorist organization, in the Russian capital, the FSB said on Wednesday.

Russia designated Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami (Islamic Party of Liberation) a terrorist organization in 2003.

The service has established the identities of its activists and their places of residence "where documents pointing to their illegal activity may be kept," an FSB spokesman said.

Amnesty International raised concerns about the sale of British weapons to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.

British Prime Minister David Cameron used his three-day tour to help sell 100 Typhoon jets to the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman.

On the first day of his controversial money-making tour to the region, the Prime Minister insisted that flogging military equipment to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates was "legitimate".

He made the remarks in Dubai where he launched a major push to sell British jets but the comments were slammed by human rights campaigners who believe that the arms sales would instigate regional rivalries and confrontations and meantime strengthen the tough stance of Arab dictatorial regimes against their nations.

It appears that the big advertising push by big food companies defeated the California's Proposition 37, a ballot initiative to require labeling of genetically modified foods (GMOs).

The last few weeks has seen a stunning reversal of poll numbers in favor of Prop 37. Nationwide polls consistently show around 90% of Americans support GMO labeling, and a month ago California polls showed over 60% supported labeling.

Then, large food conglomerates pooled their funds to oppose to the measure and outspent the citizens Right to Know campaign nearly 6-to-1 ($45 million to $8 million).

Here is the list of the top donors that opposed labeling:

Hackers from China increasingly targeting U.S military computers and defense contractors.

According to a leaked draft of a Congressional report, China poses the largest threat in cyberspace, with hackers continuously targeting U.S military computers and defense contractors.

The report obtained by Bloomberg, which was produced by the U.S.- China Economic and Security Review Commission, found that China's advances in its hacking activities over the past year pose a considerable threat to information systems and users.

Attempts by Chinese hackers apparently includes blinding or disrupting U.S. intelligence and communications satellites, weapons targeting systems, as well as navigation computers, so says an anonymous U.S. intelligence official.

Although the attacks are essentially through basic techniques, the volume of the activity is what poses a threat to the United States. Intrusions are predominately designed to collect information as opposed to attacking systems.

Scheduled for a release on November 14, the report urges Congress to develop methods of punishing and penalizing firms who have been found to have engaged in industrial espionage.

Brussels conference could help pave way for full international conference on banning weapons of mass destruction in Middle East

Israeli and Iranian officials are taking part in a nuclear non-proliferation meeting in Brussels on Monday, in the hope of paving the way for a full international conference in the next few months on banning nuclear arms and other weapons of mass destruction from the Middle East.

A handful of officials from both Israel and Iran are involved in the two-day event, ostensibly in their capacity as private citizens, in what was billed as an academic seminar.

But the delegations are led by senior officials and have the permission of their respective governments to take part in an informal discussion with representatives from about 10 Arab states, US officials and European moderators to explore the possibility of holding a UN-sponsored conference on establishing a WMD-free zone in the Middle East.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow has accurate information that the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) has more than 50 Stinger missiles.

"There is confirmed information that the Syrian rebels have obtained more than 50 Stinger missiles," he said at a press conference in Jordanian capital, Amman, on Tuesday.

The Russian foreign minister reiterated that the FSA elements have repeatedly said that they would target civilian planes as legitimate targets.

"You know perfectly well what Stingers are intended for, all the more so that the leaders of the (rebel) Free Syrian Army have repeatedly said that civilian planes will be a legitimate target," Lavrov told reporters after his meeting with the Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh.

Rampant Evidence of Electronic Vote Tampering

Ron Paul supporters, progressives and the mainstream media have all discussed the potential for vote fraud.

A global internet voting company headquartered in Spain recently purchased America's dominant election results reporting company.

The Wall Street Journal wrote in a 2008 article entitled "Will This Election Be Stolen?":

And then there are the e-voting machines. Since early voting started recently, worried voters have reported seeing their votes flipped from Barack Obama to Mr. McCain in West Virginia and Texas.

We reported in 2006:

The non-partisan and highly-respected government agency, the Government Accountability Office, verified that the electronic voting machines used in 2004 were wide open to fraud, and that fraud likely occured in Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico, and other states.

The security flaws in electronic voting machines are so complete that anyone can instantaneously install software which will change the vote counts. See this New York Times' Magazine analysis, and also E-Voting Machine an Easy Hack from Wired Magazine.

Exit polling data shows that there was vote fraud.

Footage has emerged of an electronic voting machine somewhere in the US that appears to force the voter to select Mitt Romney as their chosen presidential candidate despite clicking Barack Obama's name.

The clip, posted to YouTube by the user centralpavote - suggesting the voter is in Pennsylvania - shows the voter selecting Obama's name on the machine's touchscreen, only for Romney's name to be highlighted.
