Audit: U.S. Defense Department can't account for billions for Iraq – CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com Blogs

Audit: U.S. Defense Department can't account for billions for Iraq – CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com Blogs```The reports come from the office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.

The Iraqi government in 2004 gave the Department of Defense access to about $3 billion to pay bills for certain contracts, and the department can only show what happened to about a third of that, the inspector general says in an audit published Friday.

What the hell is going on between the United States and Israel on Iran? [UPDATED] | Daniel W. Drezner

What the hell is going on between the United States and Israel on Iran? [UPDATED] | Daniel W. Drezner```This has been an exceedingly weird week with respect to the escalating dispute between Iran and countries not thrilled with Iran's nuclear program. On the one hand, you have the United States going to great lengths to widen and deepen the sanctions regime against Iran and deter Iran from trying to close the Straits of Hormuz. On the other hand, you have U.S. officials contradicting themselves and backtracking from statements made to theWashington Post over the precise purpose of the sanctions. On the third hand, you have signals that Turkey is brokering another round of negotiations between Iran and the P5 + 1.

And then, in the last hand, you have... Israel. Some weird s**t has been going down. Following the apparent assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took great pains to "categorically deny" U.S. involvment. In a New York Times front-pager, U.S. officials were even more explicit:

NYPD: CIA officer leaving department in April - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee~~ The investigation faulted the agency for sending an officer to New York with little oversight after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and then leaving him there too long, according to officials who have read or been briefed on the inquiry. That officer, Lawrence Sanchez, stayed at the NYPD in various capacities until 2010 and helped build programs that have angered Muslim communities and helped make the NYPD one of the nation's most aggressive domestic intelligence agencies.

The Silver Bear Cafe

The Silver Bear Cafe~Audit of the Federal Reserve Reveals $16 Trillion in Secret Bailouts~~~The first ever GAO(Government Accountability Office) audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the Senate, but watered down the original language of the house bill(HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out. Ben Bernanke(pictured to the right), Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve’s nearly 100 year history were posted on Senator Sander’s webpage earlier this morning~ http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/10.11/gaoaudit.html

The Case For Gold

The Case For Gold Subtitle: A Minority Report of the U.S. Gold Commission by Ron Paul, foreword by Lew Rockwell

Had the United States followed the recommendations of this wonderful report when it came out in 1982, there would have been no housing bubble, no gigantic government debt, no depression, no economic upheaval, no high unemployment, and no international turmoil. This was a window of opportunity for reform. This is proof that Ron was right.

In 1982, Ron Paul served on the US Gold Commission to evaluate the role of gold in the monetary system. In fact, the commission was his idea. It was carrying forth a promise made in the Republican platform.

Ron couldn’t pick the members, so from the beginning the deck was stacked. The majority was dominated by monetarists, who saw gold as too scarce and paper as just fine. Ron Paul’s team was ready, however, with this marvelous minority report.

Rarely has a dissent on a government commission done so much good!

Originally commissioned by the U.S. Gold Commission and subsequently issued in 1982 as minority report of the Commissions, The Case For Gold is the first official U.S. government investigation into the feasibility of a gold standard in more than 100 years. After nearly 30 years, its history, and reform plan remains the most compelling ever printed.

Congressman Ron Paul, one of the prime movers in the creation of the U.S. Gold Commission, writes, “more and more people are asking if a gold standard will end the financial crisis in which we find ourselves. The question is not so much if it will help or if we will resort to gold, but when. All great inflations end with the acceptance of real money….” The Case for Gold was the greatest result of the commission. It covers the history of gold in the United States, argues that its breakdown was caused by governments, and explains the merit of having sound money: prices reflect market realities, government stays in check, and the people retain their freedom.

The scholarship and rigor impressed even the critics of the minority. Ron and Lewis Lehrman worked with a team of economists that included Murray Rothbard, so it is hardly surprising that such a book would result.

It still holds up as an excellent blueprint for moving beyond paper money and into the age of sound money. In particular, Ron favors complete monetary freedom to use any commodity as money, to make contracts in any money, and an end to the monopolization and printing power of the Federal Reserve.

There is a strong piece of history in this book. Not since the 19th century has a political figure made such a sweeping and devastating case for radical monetary reform. This congressman ran circles around even the experts at the Fed. A dazzling performance indeed, and an inspiring and learned book
