$1 Million A Month – What Ex-NSA Chief Keith Alexander Charges Wall Street For ‘Advice’

by

–  $1 Million A Month – What Ex-NSA Chief Alexander Charges Wall Street For “Advice” (Liberty Blitzkrieg, June 20, 2014):

So what’s a Peeping Tom, anti-democratic, Constitution-trampling intelligence crony to do after leaving decades of “public service?” Move into the private sector and collect a fat paycheck from Wall Street, naturally. Following in the footsteps of some of the other top tier public sector cronies looking to cash out after doing their best to destroy the Republic, such as Banana Ben Bernanke collecting $250,000 per speech and Turbo Tax Timmy Geithner hopping over to private equity giant Warburg Pincus, Mr. Alexander is in good crooked company.

So what is Mr. Alexander charging for his expertise? He’s looking for $1 million per month. Yes, you read that right. That’s the rate that his firm, IronNet Cybersecurity Inc., pitched to Wall Street’s largest lobbying group the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), which ultimately negotiated it down to a mere $600,000 a month. In case you need a refresher on how much of a slimy character this guy is, I suggest you read the following posts:

The U.S. Trained Terrorist Group ISIS in 2012

“The U.S. will for decades be reaping the whirlwind of its incompetent and insanely stupid ‘divide and conquer’ plan in the Muslim World.”
– Jack D. Douglas, former sociologist at the University of California

jewish_zionists_and_iraq_war

Trouble is still brewing in Iraq, and the neoconservatives are once again on the front line saying that we ought to “liberate” the country by sending more troops and attacking the Frankensteinian terrorist monster (ISIS) they themselves had helped create. Saddam, those neoconservatives told us, was the new Hitler on the block and had to go.[1]

In the end, the neoconservatives powerfully used the strategy of fear to bleed America in 2003. As intellectuals, they knew pretty well that fear can be used as a weapon in the culture war. Once they walked into a radio station or started writing in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other Zionist media outlets, they started creating fear in the hearts of the vast majority of Americans. You could hear their voices as if they were basically saying:

“Saddam is under bed; he’s outside your window; he’s in your secret closet; he’s hiding in the wardrobe; he’s at the shopping mall; he’s going to come out soon; watch out!”

If you think this is an exaggeration, read Mersheimer and Walt’s The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.

But since Saddam is dead, the neoconservatives have invented countless new Hitlers all over the Middle East and elsewhere in order to propagate perpetual wars.

Breaking: Major Military Columns Enter Lugansk From Border Area

Breaking – Major military columns enter Lugansk from border area

– Breaking – Major military columns enter Lugansk from border area  (Veterans Today, June 20, 2014):

We got the first reports of a large column including armor and supply vehicles from an eyewitness close to the border on the Ukraine. I was getting ready to put the report up as unconfirmed, but took one more look for any video that might be up, and bingo… there it was… the large column moving into Lugansk as the dawn was breaking over the trees.

The tanks were not on carriers, but on their treads, an expensive way to move them, but has them instantly deployable. So you are about to see what some early morning risers in Lugansk saw. The flags you see on some of the vehicles in this first video are Donetsk militia.


YouTube

Step two. I knew that with endless cell phone video cameras everywhere that there should be more video coming in of the column. The next video is from a car going by a column, not sure if this is the same one or not, but if you watch closely you will see there are air-defence missiles in the trucks with hard tops.

Two days ago, before it was formalized that the US tacitly, if not explicitly, now supports the removal of the Iraqi Prime Minister whom it itself had helped elect, we summarized the geopolitical tensions and “national interests” in Iraq, which is shaping up to be a proxy war that makes last year’s Syrian escapade pale by comparison, as follows:

The situation in Iraq, already a jumble of domestic sectarian violence, is now pitting virtually all major (and regional) international players against each other as well. There is:

Inflation? Only If You Look At Food, Water, Gas, Electricity And Everything Else

by

Quantitative easing =  printing money = creating money out of thin air = increasing the money supply = inflation = hidden tax on monetary assets = theft!

“When a country embarks on deficit financing (Obamanomics) and inflationism (Quantitative easing) you wipe out the middle class and wealth is transferred from the middle class and the poor to the rich.”
– Ron Paul

“Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers.”
– Ron Paul

– Inflation? Only If You Look At Food, Water, Gas, Electricity And Everything Else (Economic Collapse, June 19, 2014):

Have you noticed that prices are going up rapidly?  If so, you are certainly not alone.  But Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, the Obama administration and the mainstream media would have us believe that inflation is completely under control and exactly where it should be.  Perhaps if the highly manipulated numbers that they quote us were real, everything would be fine.  But of course the way that the inflation rate is calculated has been changed more than 20 times since the 1970s, and at this point it bears so little relation to reality that it is essentially meaningless.  Anyone that has to regularly pay for food, water, gas, electricity or anything else knows that inflation is too high.  In fact, if inflation was calculated the same way that it was back in 1980, the inflation rate would be close to 10 percent right now.

But you would never know that listening to Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen.  In the video posted below, you can listen to her telling the media that there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about…

And it is really hard to get too upset with Janet Yellen.

Marc Faber Explains The Fed’s Dilemma In 15 Words (Video)

by

Let me again say, for all those that still believe that we have just stupid & incompetent politicians (all of the time), that our politicians are nothing but elite puppets, and that they are are just following the orders of their masters. Period.

Here’s Obama in 2006:

Obama Debt Ceiling

Couldn’t have said it better, yet … 

– U.S. Government Debt Up $6.666 Trillion Under Obama (CNS News, Feb 4, 2014)

These elitists totally control and own our government, the Fed, the banksters, the media etc.

The destruction of the middle class and America is done by design.

This is a controlled demolition and also the greatest bank robbery in world history (and the banks are doing the robbing).

And the worst is still coming.

– Marc Faber Explains The Fed’s Dilemma In 15 Words (ZeroHedge, June 20, 2014):

For over 5 years we have been explaining the hole that the fed has been digging (most ironically here). This morning’s op-ed by Warsh and Druckenmiller highlights many of the problems but we leave it to Marc Faber to succinctly sum up the dilemma that the Fed faces (and by dilemma we mean, the plan) – “The more they print, the more inequality there is, the weaker the economy will become.” Simply put, “it’s a catastrophe,” Faber told CNBC, “what the Fed has done is to lift asset prices, and the cost of living. In the meantime, the cost of living increases are higher than the wage increases. The typical American household income is going down in real terms.” Recovery?

As we noted previously, the greatest irony of the entire “record income inequality” debate…

One can read 696 page neo-Marxist tomes “explaining” inequality in a way only an economist could – by ignoring the untold destruction economists themselves have unleashed on society with their “scientific theories” (and providing a “solution” to the inequality problem which we warned readers was coming back in September of 2011) or one can read the following 139 words by Elliott’s Paul Singer which in two short paragraphs explains everything one needs to know about America’s record class inequality, including precisely who is the man responsible:

Bush & Blair: Blackmailed Pedophiles Or Just War Criminals?

Today, after more than a million dead and several millions exiled, as the “too extreme for al-Qaeda” ISIL is grabbing more and more of Iraq, the question once again arises:

Why did George Bush and Tony Blair drag us into the Iraq quagmire?

They told us it was about Saddam’s WMD. But that was a preposterous lie. Bush even camped it up about looking for WMD under his desk. He thought it was fabulously hilarious that anyone had ever believed in Iraqi WMD.

Libya Coming Full Circle. When A Deemed ‘Conspiracy Theory’ Becomes Reality

“It was when Saddam Hussein abandoned the petro-dollar, that he became a target, when Muammar Gaddafi introduced the gold dinar, that he became a target, when Iran went off the petro-dollar and opened an oil bourse trading in many different currencies, that it became a target”
– James Fetzer

– Libya Coming Full Circle. When A Deemed “Conspiracy Theory” Becomes Reality (Global Research, June 18, 2014):

In the duration of the “revolutionary frenzy” that categorized western media coverage of the Libyan Civil War in 2011, public audiences were captivated with both tales of rebels aspiring for “democracy” and with complimenting stories of unabated brutality by Gaddafi forces.

Without any serious mainstream criticism, an imperialist mythology centered on the interventionist doctrine of the “Responsibility to Protect” was cemented in public consciousness with even usually non-mainstream and “anti-imperialist” figures such as Juan Cole deliberately misrepresenting the situation in Libya. In Cole’s perspective, no reference to armed militants from the start of the conflict or the role of extremism and western premeditation found its way into the narrative and he predicted a simplistic narrative where the overthrow of Gaddafi would lead the region into an era of unity, prosperity and freedom.

Obama’s Illegal Alien Tidal Wave To Cost Taxpayers $Billions Annually

With many American citizens feeling helpless — and hopeless — as they watch their nation’s border security openly violated by illegal alien children — some of whom are over 18-years-old — a nonpartisan watchdog group reported on Thursday that the state of California alone spends upwards of $25 billion each year to provide human services to millions of lawbreakers.

The state’s estimated 3 million illegal aliens and their 1.1 million U.S.–born children, known as anchor babies, cost the average California household — headed by a U.S. citizen – $2,370 annually.

Violent And Legal: The Shocking Ways School Kids Are Being Pinned Down, Isolated Against Their Will

– Violent and Legal: The Shocking Ways School Kids are Being Pinned Down, Isolated Against Their Will (RINF/ProPublica, June 19, 2014):

Carson Luke, a young boy with autism, shattered bones in his hand and foot after educators grabbed him and tried to shut him into a “scream room.” Kids across the country risked similar harm at least 267,000 times in just one school year.

Heather Vogell

The room where they locked up Heather Luke’s 10-year-old son had cinder block walls, a dim light and a fan in the ceiling that rattled so insistently her son would beg them to silence it.

Sometimes, Carson later told his mother, workers would run the fan to make him stop yelling. A thick metal door with locks—which they threw, clank-clank-clank—separated the autistic boy from the rest of the decrepit building in Chesapeake, Virginia, just south of Norfolk.

Possible Ukranian Nuke Terror Cell Arrested in Texas

Three Ukranian special forces affiliated with groups working in concert with the US embassy in Kiev were arrested in Texas after crossing over from Mexico.  We watch with interest as the US government is expected to try to push this one under a rug.

The following are notes, some in public domain, some part of highly classified evaluation reports.  The subject is nuclear weapons.  As VT has always been, if anything, over represented with nuclear weapons designers,  chemical engineers and nuclear weapons specialists, we have found the bizarre mythology about nuclear weapons to be a danger to the public.

The End Of Anglo-American Hegemony

 As Western dependence on Third World resources has increased, it has become increasingly necessary for the international bankers and their corporations to include local elite cliques in their capital accumulation schemes, making a small group of local people extremely wealthy so that this group will cooperate in selling local resources cheaply to the West.

Oligarchs and their fascist gendarmes having seized Ukraine, Islamist ISIS rebels have now retaken cities in Iraq. The BRIC nations – led by the now-evil-once-again Mr. Putin – busy themselves preparing for the ongoing unraveling of the Anglo-American financial empire.   The Rothschild/Rockefeller banking/energy/arms/drugs oligopoly which has enslaved humankind and decimated planet Earth for the last few centuries is coming apart at the seams.  The arrogance and stupidity of the self-proclaimed “illuminated ones”, who operate their matrix from the City of London, is being writ large for all to see.

– VA Death Toll Higher Than All Wars (Veterans Today, June 16, 2014):

American military veterans are dying in numbers unimagined.  The numbers themselves are hidden from the public just like the waiting lists from the Department of Veterans Affairs.  There is a reason for this, the two are related.  Waiting lists, weeks or months for treatment for devastating and debilitating illnesses and conditions, destroyed records, “wiped” computers, SWAT teams with automatic weapons prowling the hallways of clinics, these are the real reasons vets kill themselves.

Most veterans who have chosen suicide have been abused and mistreated by the Department of Veterans Affairs.  Some have been told that their illnesses or wounds are imaginary, others are shuffled into endless bureaucratic loops and most are subjected to the Kafkaesque disability compensation system where literally anything can happen and does.
