“Obama frets over ‘lone wolf’ attack as Sept 11 looms”

1.  It’s a little unbelievable what a stupid man all presidents are.  Any attack will be a false flag, done by the government:

2. “The Media Is the Enemy

Of peace, liberty, and the truth

Think of the media as the Greek chorus to the two “majors,” with different media actors cheerleading one party and razzing the other – but never straying outside the bounds of the red-blue narrative, with its rigid definitions and litmus tests. This mindset is encoded in the two-party system, and institutionalized in our ballot access laws, which privilege the two “major” parties – the very same two parties that have led us down the path to endless war and imminent bankruptcy, and are now running away from their dual responsibility for the present crisis.

In this indirect but not insignificant sense, then, the “mainstream” media is an arm of the State, and, indeed, not only acts to police the political discourse, but reports government propaganda as if it were fact. We saw how this worked during the run-up to the Iraq war, when the Bush regime played the New York Times and its “mainstream” colleagues with ease, using the front page of the Times as a veritable bulletin board of government talking points. The Bush administration may have lied us into war, but the supposedly “liberal” media facilitated it in every possible way, acting like stenographers taking dictation rather than journalists out to discover the truth.

…

The media is a reliable instrument of government just as surely as if it were an official agency, like the Voice of America: it is owned by corporate entities entirely dependent on the good graces of government officials, and whose natural inclinations are to cozy up to Power rather than challenge it. That’s why the new internet-based media is so disturbing to these mandarins, whose opinions are no longer automatically elevated to holy writ. Antiwar.com is in the forefront of this new media wave – but we need your help to capitalize on this success and subvert the red-blue media narrative.”

3.  Just ignore the moronic fear-talk from the media and all political parties:

“The Size Of The U.S. Public Debt: Are The Rating Agencies Fools or Knaves?

The answer is obvious and requires no expertise in economics: ‘financial markets’ cannot drive up U.S. interest rates. Quite the contrary, the bizarre ‘downgrade,’ by creating international economic instability, increased the demand for U.S. government debt, putting downward pressure on U.S. interest rates. The U.S. government is not and never has failed to meet its debt obligations. The obligations it has flagrantly failed to meet are providing for the education and health of its population, repairing the country’s public infrastructure, and preventing state and local governments from going bankrupt, thus reducing or eliminating their ability to do their social duty. The false claims of federal default are the mechanism by which the rich and powerful, aided by the rating agencies, will further enforce the real default on social and economic justice for people in the United States of America.”
