Police Brutality - does it exist? Video Compilation
--------------
Note: The concept of "Blowback" - does it apply to the police?
-------------
Read and watch video here:
" A police source has told ABC News that they have recovered the murder weapon. Though more than one gun was recovered, they believe he used only one in the attack, a semi-automatic handgun."
-----------
Note: Huckabee supposedly let this guy out.
Nato has lost its way in Afghanistan, Army chief tells Muslims
Read more here:
" Speaking to Muslim News, General Richards said: “Look at the huge popularity of the Nato intervention in 2001. What we’ve done is lost our way a bit and need to find it again and have the moral and physical conviction that we can do these things.”
General Richards has acknowledged previously that the strategy had failed in Afghanistan and needed to be revitalised to ensure victory."
-----------
Note: Has NATO (North ATLANTIC treaty organization) lost its way? No - not at all. It doesn't know where it is going. What is the mission in Afghanistan? Wait - what is the mission in AFPAK war? Are we talking about the war in Afghanistan or the AFPAK war? I guess defining ones enemy isn't important anymore when you can just keep firing cruise missiles at anyone. Kill 'em all let God or Allah sort 'em out.
Adding another nation couldn't have changed the original mission could it? Maybe since bin Laden's (Dead since Dec. 2001) ghost keeps moving around we'll eventually have to declare war on the whole planet.
Obviously this war, based on a pack of lies from the very start will amount to nothing for me or you except lost money and lives. Our military is used as a tool and undermined by phony wars. Our nation no longer the shining city on the hill - we are NAZIs using our military power to take other people's stuff. Ain't that grand?

Food Stamp Use Soars, and Stigma Fades
Read more here:
" The program’s growing reach can be seen in a corner of southwestern Ohio where red state politics reign and blue-collar workers have often called food stamps a sign of laziness. But unemployment has soared, and food stamp use in a six-county area outside Cincinnati has risen more than 50 percent.
With most of his co-workers laid off, Greg Dawson, a third-generation electrician in rural Martinsville, considers himself lucky to still have a job. He works the night shift for a contracting firm, installing freezer lights in a chain of grocery stores. But when his overtime income vanished and his expenses went up, Mr. Dawson started skimping on meals to feed his wife and five children."
------------
Note: Perhaps they are all imagining their hunger since it was reported on July 20, 2009 that Obama said the "Fire is Now Out" .
Republicans should not accept food stamps because that would make them hypocrites for railing against government hand-outs. Democrats shouldn't accept the food stamps because the crisis is over.

Mysterious ‘Saddam Channel’ appears on Iraqi televisions
Read more here:
" No one seems to know who is bankrolling the so-called Saddam Channel, although the Iraqi government suspects it's Baathists whose political party Saddam once led. The Associated Press tracked down a man in Damascus, Syria named Mohammed Jarboua, who claimed to be its chairman."
----------
Note: I heard this may be the mother of all channels

An Ancient Fortress on the Island
Read more here:
"Deep inside Siberia there is a lake, one of thousands others. And in the middle of this lake there is a small island. And on this island people have found an ancient fortress, which is dated more than 1500 years old.
Excavations are needed in order to reveal all its view for visitors, but even now from the air its a nice site in different times of the year. First part of photos were made during short Siberian summer:"

CIA secret weapon of assassination
Read more here: Please keep in mind that assassination and murder are synonyms.
" The dart from this secret CIA weapon can penetrate clothing and leave nothing but a tiny red dot on the skin. On penetration of the deadly dart, the individual targeted for assassination may feel as if bitten by a mosquito, or they may not feel anything at all. The poisonous dart completely disintegrates upon entering the target."
-------------
Note: This makes it easy for prosecutors - since they don't have to present evidence at a trial - just kill who you think is the problem and case closed. What ever happened to due process? The argument seems to come back from the pro-murder people:
well - they are not US citizens so they don't have a right to a trial. Great so you can take the liberty to murder someone with a poison dart because they are not a US citizen.
Perhaps we can put a check box on tax returns that says: "I do NOT want my tax money used for murder"

Iraq: The war was illegal

" Tony Blair will be quizzed over a devastating official memo warning him that war on Iraq would be illegal eight months before he sent troops into Baghdad, it was claimed last night.
The Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war will consider a letter from Lord Goldsmith, then Mr Blair's top law officer, advising him that deposing Saddam would be in breach of international law, according to a report in The Mail on Sunday."

Chavez threatens to nationalize Venezuelan banks
Read more here:
""I have no problem with that because the banks don't want to extend credit to the poor, they don't comply, they don't want to comply with the bank's purpose for existence, and that is the law."
Chavez said the purpose of banks was not to enrich a small group of people but "should be to collect funds and savings to help aid the country's development by making loans, extending credits for housing."

Huckabee pardoned person of interest in Lakewood shooting
Read more here:
"Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing this morning of four Lakewood police officers, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health.
Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors
...Clemmons' criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. The record also stands out for the number of times he has been released from custody despite questions about the danger he posed."
-------------
Note: You'd think with the police state we are funding that possibly by default somebody could have prevented this from happening. They did not. That's what you are getting for your tax money - nothing. Regardless of who did this four cops are dead. Nothing will fix that. Also one wonders where all this hatred of police is coming from? It can't be coming from pregnant women being Tasered, BART shooting, police brutality, the phony war on drugs. No - that can't have anything to do with it.

Bank of Russia To Invest in Canadian Dollar

" The official reminded that the Central Bank was investing the funds of Russia’s international reserves in four currencies: the US dollar, the euro, the British pound sterling and the Japanese yen. In addition, the reserves consist of gold and IMF’s special drawing right."

Note: So they ARE investing in US dollars - why if the dollar is so doomed?

The bankruptcy of the United States is now certain
Read more here:
" It's one of those numbers that's so unbelievable you have to actually think about it for a while... Within the next 12 months, the U.S. Treasury will have to refinance $2 trillion in short-term debt. And that's not counting any additional deficit spending, which is estimated to be around $1.5 trillion. Put the two numbers together. Then ask yourself, how in the world can the Treasury borrow $3.5 trillion in only one year? That's an amount equal to nearly 30% of our entire GDP. And we're the world's biggest economy. Where will the money come from?"
---------
Note: Bankruptcy is the kiss of death for me and you - but not for D Trump or a government - for them it is an excusable business move - why the double standard? Who can explain the moronic decisions these folks are responsible for participating? By the way - which Universities did these clowns attend? We need a list so the parents can see what their kids are being fed.

4 Police Officers Shot Dead Near Washington State Air Force Base
Read more here:
" It wasn't clear whether the officers even had time to draw their weapons to return fire, Troyer said."
-------------
Note: Maybe they drew their Tasers instead of their firearms ... usually the claim is the other way round.
" Troyer would not release the names of the victims in Sunday's shooting. He said Lakewood has a small police force and the deaths represent a loss of 10 percent to 15 percent of the department."
-------------
Note: If four cops = 10 percent, then I would say the department used to have 40 police officers. I need help with the fifteen percent - we get into fractions of people there - am I wrong? 4 is an even number and 15 is an odd number - how can that work?
---------
"There were marked patrol cars outside and they were all in uniform," Troyer said.
---Note: So am I to conclude that police presence prevents crime? Am I to conclude that having four police officers in the building will keep the crooks at bay? If you haven't yet been prevented from exercising your inalienable right to bear arms I'd recommend you keep your weapon - this instance doesn't say much for the ability of the police to deter crime. As usual - they come around to pick up the bodies and either cover up evidence or show evidence depending upon who is more well-heeled in the 'hood the crime occurred in.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed’s Trial Will Convict Us All
Read more here:
"By Paul Craig Roberts
Republican members of Congress and what masquerades as a "conservative" media are outraged that the Obama administration intends to try in federal court Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11, and four alleged co-conspirators.
The Republican and right-wing rant that a trial is too good for these people proves what I have written for a number of years: Republicans and many Americans who think of themselves as conservatives have no regard for the US Constitution or for civil liberties."

Long-Range NAZI bomber
----------------
The headgear worn by aviators in this film I believe was made by Siemens-I say that because I have WWII NAZI headgear that looks just like that worn by the heroic crew in this film - and the tag inside says Siemens. Also all the leather is perfect, the integral earphones and throat mikes are intact - the rubber incredibly good condition - the leather incredibly good condition. I'd guess without looking up how the microphones and earphones are built that the specimen I have, Siemens made, would work if only I had a NAZI plane with the 4 prong radio set to try it out in.
I guess Siemens is doing OK having been on the losing side of two world wars. I wish I could say the same for our troops on Afghanistan, Iraq and the other 130 or so (more) US bases all over the planet we are "protecting" from "horrorism."
Major recall of H1N1 Flu Vaccine in Canada
Note: I mentioned this recall to a guy in a local convenience store - just chit-chatting - he asked "How in the hell is it possible for there only to be problems in Canada and not elsewhere if it's the same antidote?"
Hmmmm - good question.

Read more Canada's doctors told to halt swine flu vaccine batch
" GlaxoSmithKline has advised doctors in Canada to stop using a batch of its swine flu vaccine, amid reports of severe side-effects in some patients.
The batch of some 170,000 doses was put on voluntary hold because of a reported higher than usual number of patients having anaphylactic reactions.
This may include breathing problems, raised heart rate and skin rashes.
The pharmaceutical company said it had advised that one lot of the Arepanrix vaccine should not be used."
-------------
Note: I suppose Canadians are genetically different from Americans where I don't see anything about a recall. In America, where our government covers up torture - why in the world would anyone think same government would serve as a good watchdog to keep your drug provider from poisoning you? Just think about it - more illness = more money for pharmaceutical providers.
Also: I stated previously I wouldn't take this flu shot simply based on the character of those advising the public - I'm glad I didn't take the flu shot.

Investigate Waste, Fraud & Abuse at NIST
Read more here:
"An Open Letter to Inspector General Todd Zinser
Investigate NIST Officials Shyam Sunder and John Gross
Summary: I am writing to urge immediate investigation of Shyam Sunder and John Gross of NIST for the following possible violations in their investigations of the destruction of the 3 WTC towers in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001: (1) waste, fraud and abuse, (2) making false and/or incompetent statements, (3) mismanagement, and (4) possible misprision of felonies."
------------
Note: I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for anybody at NIST to be held accountable for their sorry work. It is obvious that they ignored alternate hypotheses for the collapses- especially the one that most fits the evidence-controlled demolition. For now it matters not why they ignored this alternate hypothesis - what matters is that they did as it undermines their conclusions.
-----------
I challenge anyone to walk up to a skyscraper and say "Pullit" - then see if the building collapses.

Denmark approves new police powers ahead of Copenhagen
Read more here:
"The Danish parliament today passed legislation which will give police sweeping powers of "pre-emptive" arrest and extend custodial sentences for acts of civil disobedience. The "deeply worrying" law comes ahead of the UN climate talks which start on 7 December and are expected to attract thousands of activists from next week.
-------------
Note: Preemptive strike means you started it. For example - I walk up to my neighbor and "pre-emptively" strike him across the face. I go to jail. But you see, because of the "war on horror" we have to arrest people who "act funny" or "use binoculars" or use maps - or whatever - point is that this whole preemptive business was started by idiots - and there are idiots continuing it - and they are going to pay dearly in the near future as the people who put them in power realize how stupid this idea is.

In Afghanistan and At Home, We're Being Driven Off a Cliff
Read more here:
"Perhaps as soon as Tuesday, the president will explain best he can why tens of thousands of additional American soldiers and Marines are needed to pursue a war soon to pass Vietnam as the longest in our history. Some of our war fighters will be in their fourth or fifth tour of duty in combat zones. The cost of the war there could top a trillion dollars over the next 10 years, yet virtually all the generals and admirals and think tank armchair warriors have concluded that a military solution isn't possible."
-----------
Note: This is not news - this is repetition. Especially regarding the so-called "AFPAK" war - ya' know - just add PAK to the end of AF and you simply added another country to the list in which American tax dollars will be used to meat-grind the inhabitants. But Obombya is busy busy busy thinking - because he's so goddam smart ya know - he's thinking about how he is going to ask for more troops to die for nothing and still win the next election. Well that's easy - simply lie to the American public and keep that award-winning Good Housekeeping approved smile going and these dummies will send him back to DC to piss our cash into the wind. Pissing into the wind always results in blowback. In this case our dollars are not what blow back at us - instead our troops receive showers of hot steel fragments from weapons purchased with American dollars.
Soooo...what is the mission in Afghanistan? Before you answer consider we went there to "smoke'm out"---
Kindly consider the following lyin' piece o' sh#t:
then consider why the hell anybody else has to die for a lie?

Blame Larry Summers
Read more here:
"Barack Obama's chief economic advisor, Lawrence Summers, is determined to sabotage a second round of stimulus. And, he's getting plenty of help, too. Congressional Democrats are dragging their feet because they're worried about the political backlash and midterm elections, the GOP deficit hawks are looking for a way they can derail the Obama agenda and reestablish their bone fides as fiscal conservatives, and the bailout-traumatized American people are simply opposed to anything that generates more red ink. Even Obama has joined the fray and started badmouthing stimulus stressing the importance of living within our means and trimming the deficits. So it looks like a done-deal; no more stimulus. There's only one problem, without another blast of stimulus the economy is headed for the skids."

Red Alert: The Second Wave of The Financial Tsunami
Read more here:
"Some two decades ago, it was decided by the global financial elites that the framework for the global economy shall consist of:
1) A global derivative-based financial system, controlled by the US Federal Reserve Bank and its associate global banks in the developed countries.
2) The re-location from the West to the East in the production of goods, principally to China and India to “feed” the developed economies.
The entire system was built on a simple principle, that of a FED-controlled global reserve currency which will be the engine for growth for the global economy. It is essentially an imperialist economic principle.
Once we grasp this fundamental truth, Bernanke’s boast that the “US can produce as many US dollars as it wishes at no cost” takes on a different dimension."

Woods' accident leaves many questions

"So far, in a pro career that dates to 1996, the only hint of scandal involving Woods usually has centered around his propensity to use profanity on the golf course.
Whether or not this turns into anything more is unclear, but the entire scenario is but another example of what a big deal Woods is in the game, and how much it is altered if he is not around."

Worthless Paper Money is Nothing New - Connections
If the BBC had anything to do with this show today it wouldn't exist. Examine these bills and ask yourself if the meaning of words printed on money matter...
From the Connections Wikipedia page:
" Connections was a ten-episode documentary television series created and narrated by science historian James Burke. The series was produced and directed by Mick Jackson of the BBC Science & Features Department and first aired in 1978 (1979 in the USA). It took an interdisciplinary approach to the history of science and invention and demonstrates how various discoveries, scientific achievements, and historical world events built off one another in an interconnected way to bring about particular aspects of modern technology. The series is well-known for Burke's impeccable narration (especially its dry humour), historical reenactments, intricate working models, skillful use of classical music (most notably Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, or "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana), and shots on location as far afield as Penang (Malaysia)."

One American's Thoughts on Torture

----------------------------
I spent a lot of time in the woods as a kid. Heck, we picked Aluminum cans, soda bottles (for the deposit), copper and scrap metals of many sorts. We built bunks, forts and treehouses. We wrecked those of others. It was all part of the fun of being a kid. One day while walking through the forest I came upon the decomposing body of a cat suspended by two trees - dead. The mouth was still open as though screaming. All four limbs were still tied to trees that supported this poor creature during its last hideous moments on Earth as its captor - someone posing as a human being - tortured this animal to death. The cat was half rotten by the time I found it and many details escape me thankfully - but I'll never forget the feeling it gave me. Not a good feeling.
A few days ago we took "The Bear" (my cat) to the veterinarian to have a breathing issue looked at. He's a Black Persian and getting old so his fur was badly matted as well. After the medical stuff was completed one tech who's expertise is grooming entered the room to comb out some of the mats and shave some of the matted fur off. The Bear didn't like it. He carried on and did what cats do when they are being groomed and they don't like it - so it became time to put a muzzle on the little guy. We had to wrap him up in a towel to immobilize him as well because of the claws. It isn't easy sometimes doing that to an old friend - or even someone else's pet, or sick loved one in the hospital - but we continue because we know it is for their own good. Yeah - they are terrified because they are immobilized, at the mercy, and in the hands of their captor - but when it's all over - we all feel better because we did something GOOD.
As we were putting the Bear into the muzzle and Bear looked at me before his eyes were covered I thought about how easy it would be to betray him. How once he is immobilized - he is completely at our mercy. I would never betray that trust - but I know there are those who would. Why? Why - is exactly what I will never understand completely because thankfully I don't have that need to satisfy.
What goes through the minds of our taxpayer-supported torturers as they look into the eyes of someone they are going to immobilize just like we did in a medical situation - but with just the opposite intentions?
What goes through the minds of American leaders of such lowly ranks as President of the United States and Secretary of Defense of Torture when they deny justice by covering up torture?
What would they think as they looked into the eyes of someone about to be tortured at the hands of Americans paid for with my tax dollars? Would they realize, or even care, as I do - that those eyes will never be the same?
I would sooner forgive an executioner than a torturer because the executioner in some cases can "do their job" in a merciful way - whereas the torturer NEVER CAN.
As far as Gates - I'll throw this one in there since he's an Aggie. (This means he's stupid because everybody knows all Aggies are stupid) The motto of Texas A&M University is that "An Aggie does not Lie, Cheat or Steal, or Tolerate those who do" Well I already know they will tolerate non-payment of contractors for time and materials work on-campus by well-heeled suppliers who ,while refusing to pay, continue to do business at A&M. But what I learned in addition from this situation is that at least ONE AGGIE WILL TOLERATE TORTURERS- BECAUSE GATES IS AN AGGIE AND HIS NON-RELEASE OF TORTURE PHOTOS SHOWS TOLERATION FOR TORTURE.
If my logic, spelling, grammar or other show flaws - please let me know so I can fix it.

U.S. Secretary of Defense of Torture blocks release of torture photos
UPDATE NOVEMBER 20, 2009 GATES used "New Authority"
Click for more pictures of your tax dollars at work:
Read more torture gallery here:
Read more here:
" Gates' new authority comes from a law, signed by President Barack Obama last month, that gives the Secretary of Defense the power to rule that photos of detainees are exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act. Gates' action on Friday was the first use of the new FOIA exemption since it passed Congress last month. The photos in question are the subject of a years-long legal fight by the American Civil Liberties Union, which first filed a FOIA request for records pertaining to detainee treatment, rendition, and death in May of 2005. The case is currently being reviewed by the Supreme Court."
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had sued for the release of 21 color photos under the Freedom of Information Act. "
----------------------
What do you expect from Robert Gates? Everybody knows that all Aggies are stupid.
Here's a paragraph from his Wikipedia page. I'll provide a translation beneath :
" Robert Michael Gates (born September 25, 1943) is currently serving as the 22nd United States Secretary of Defense. He took office on December 18, 2006.[2] Prior to this, Gates served for 26 years in the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Council, and under President George H. W. Bush as Director of Central Intelligence. Immediately after being recruited by the CIA, he served as an officer in the United States Air Force.[3][4] After leaving the CIA, Gates became president of Texas A&M University and was a member of several corporate boards. Gates also served as a member of the Iraq Study Group, the bipartisan commission co-chaired by James A. Baker III and Lee Hamilton, that has studied the Iraq War. He was also the first pick to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security when it was created following the September 11 attacks, but he declined the appointment in order to remain President of Texas A&M University.[5]"
Translation: Yes Man
American Interrogator says Torture costs American Lives
You see, Gates doesn't care about our troops deployed overseas - because until the torture issue is settled, all captured Americans are in grave danger of torture by their captors. Maybe I can make this easy for Gates to understand: "an eye for an eye." That is the deal you are making for every member of the American armed services you F&%K. Now tell me how you are protecting those Americans?

Heart Disease Found in Egyptian Mummies
Look at this article here:
" The mummies underwent whole body scanning with special attention to the cardiovascular system. The researchers found that 9 of the 16 mummies who had identifiable arteries or hearts left in their bodies after the mummification process had calcification either clearly seen in the wall of the artery or in the path were the artery should have been. Some mummies had calcification in up to 6 different arteries."

Ft. Hood vs. Minot AFB
One gets a congressional investigation:
Ft. Hood:
here:
"The Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), agreed with Hoekstra about a separate Congressional investigation, adding, "I think we have to do it carefully, in a way that we don't interfere with the prosecution that is going to be of him, the court martial prosecution. We don't want to step on things that will make it more difficult to prosecute him because, of course, he should be prosecuted for these murders."
Another doesn't...why?
Minot Air Force Base Reports Missile Code Procedure Violation :
" For more information on the procedural violation contact Air Force Space Command at (719) 554-3731."

Is this a fair comparison? Is a massacre equivalent to a nuke mishap?

Tea Party Marchers in Harrisburg, PA
Take a peek at the article here:
"Participants marched from City Island to the state Capitol steps chanting "Can you hear us now?" They carried signs reading, "Less Government Restore the Public" and "Strike Three Get Out." They waved American flags and yellow flags with the slogan, "Don't Tread on Me.""
---------------
Note: A friend of mine, who is a businessman made one of those yellow stickers for me back when the truth movement resurrected the "Don't tread on me" flag. Suddenly Glenn Beck hijacks this symbol being the good propagandist he is - and somehow he got involved in these tea parties. Now these people look like Glenn Beck operatives, rather than what they really are. They are frustrated taxpaying citizens, who may or may not have a loved one in combat or six feet under or blind or missing a limb or whatever, they don't have jobs anymore, they are facing more war (we've moved into Columbia for at least the next ten years - these folks will pay for it), they cannot get their "representatives" to fix the laws so as to negotiate lower prescription drug prices... they can't afford a doctor, they can't afford a lawyer, they can't afford to heat their house, they can't pay the landlord - so they march.

When you see those yellow flags - just remember Glenn Beck has nothing to do with its resurrection. He is a shill - a paid propagandist who never saw a war for Israel he didn't love. He has helped cover up the 911 crimes and continues to do so - although he's toned it down a bit. He is among the ranks of all the liars that have deceived the American public - so remember he isn't part of this tea party movement.
By the way - if you don't get active - those who are active will take control of your government - you can stay home and watch them on TV.
"Participants marched from City Island to the state Capitol steps chanting "Can you hear us now?" They carried signs reading, "Less Government Restore the Public" and "Strike Three Get Out." They waved American flags and yellow flags with the slogan, "Don't Tread on Me.""

Note: A friend of mine, who is a businessman made one of those yellow stickers for me back when the truth movement resurrected the "Don't tread on me" flag. Suddenly Glenn Beck hijacks this symbol being the good propagandist he is - and somehow he got involved in these tea parties. Now these people look like Glenn Beck operatives, rather than what they really are. They are frustrated taxpaying citizens, who may or may not have a loved one in combat or six feet under or blind or missing a limb or whatever, they don't have jobs anymore, they are facing more war (we've moved into Columbia for at least the next ten years - these folks will pay for it), they cannot get their "representatives" to fix the laws so as to negotiate lower prescription drug prices... they can't afford a doctor, they can't afford a lawyer, they can't afford to heat their house, they can't pay the landlord - so they march.

Dollar stuck near 15-month lows on benign rate view

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar was stuck near 15-month lows on Tuesday, though its broad downtrend was intact on a growing view that U.S. rates are likely to stay low for a while, giving a boost to dollar funded carry trades.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled U.S. rates will stay at zero for some time in a New York speech, adding in a rare commentary about the U.S. dollar that the Fed was closely watching the currency's decline as part of its commitment to both jobs growth and price stability.
"He is telling us that despite the greenback's rapid decline, despite a rapid increase in risk appetite and the 'cross-currents' to inflation this represents, despite all that we are going keep rates at an exceptionally low level for an extended period," said Adam Carr, senior economist at ICAP."

Mr. President: Turn Away From War
Read more here:
"We supported your candidacy because we viewed you as the best chance for ending the wars of the Bush era. We applauded your rejection of the rhetoric of fear and division that was the stock in trade of Bush and Cheney. We are alarmed by the way that rhetoric has crept into your public pronouncements since your August address in Phoenix. Your decision on Afghanistan will represent the decisive turning point of your presidency. If you turn away from war, you will provide a profile in courage that will solidify your support and open up a new perspective for progressive reforms in our country. You will honor the spirit of John F. Kennedy, who was searching for an exit strategy from the Vietnam war. If you opt for a wider war, the resulting heavy casualties will destroy confidence in your leadership among your own most devoted advocates. Hundreds of billions of dollars will be poured down a rat hole, and will no longer be available for any reform and renovation of American society, which will increasingly fall behind the economic strength of other countries. Your domestic agenda will be halted, in the same way your predecessor Lyndon B. Johnson was crippled by the Vietnam war. Escalation of the Afghan war, in short, would be an act of political suicide for you, and of national suicide for our country."

Jellyfish swarm northward in warming world
Read more here:
"Scientists believe climate change — the warming of oceans — has allowed some of the almost 2,000 jellyfish species to expand their ranges, appear earlier in the year and increase overall numbers, much as warming has helped ticks, bark beetles and other pests to spread to new latitudes."
---------------
Note: I like the word "believe" when we are supposedly talking about science. This is a cue for you to prepare for higher taxes to cool things back down. The jellyfish are another indicator of the coming doom that is global warming.
May I remind the reader about how much respect the environment gets? Just take a look at the Exxon Valdez here - now there's a jumbo-sized problem to consider - but as usual - the well-heeled won that battle while the little guy took the beating. From the article:
"The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in the Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 24, 1989. It is considered one of the most devastating human-caused environmental disasters ever to occur at sea. As significant as the Valdez (pronounced /VALDEZ/) spill was, it ranks well down on the list of the world's largest oil spills in terms of volume released.[1] However, Prince William Sound's remote location (accessible only by helicopter and boat) made government and industry response efforts difficult and severely taxed existing plans for response. The region was a habitat for salmon, sea otters, seals and seabirds. The vessel spilled 10.8 million U.S. gallons (about 40 million litres) of Prudhoe Bay crude oil into the sea, and the oil eventually covered 11,000,000 square miles (28,000,000 km2) of ocean.[2]"
If you think for a moment that your public officials are "doing something" about the environment - look into the Exxon Valdez mess - look at their actions - Exxon got off the hook for wrecking a pristine area. Now all of the sudden all these political hacks are worried about the planet? I smell a tax hike.

Plame silenced
Read more here:
"Valerie Plame Wilson cannot publicize details of her work as a CIA operative, even though a government official already outed her as an agent in an attempt to discredit her husband, Joseph C. Wilson, a federal appeals court says.
Plame Wilson, who served as chief of the unit responsible for weapons proliferation issues related to Iraq, argued that confidentiality agreements she signed to win her employment more than two decades ago should be nullified. The CIA has prohibited her from discussing her pre-2002 employment in her 2007 memoir, Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House.
She maintained the confidentiality agreement should be set aside because Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, and others leaked to syndicated columnist Robert Novak that she was an agent. Also, as part of a battle to obtain retirement benefits, her 20-year-employment status became part of the congressional record"

Note: I can't help but ask the question: What is the penalty for outing a CIA operative? I wonder what CIA people risking their necks can conclude from this matter?

US Secretary of State Robert Gates blocks release of Iraq, Afghanistan torture photos

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had sued for the release of 21 color photos under the Freedom of Information Act. "
----------------------
What do you expect from Robert Gates? Everybody knows that all Aggies are stupid.
Here's a paragraph from his Wikipedia page. I'll provide a translation beneath :
" Robert Michael Gates (born September 25, 1943) is currently serving as the 22nd United States Secretary of Defense. He took office on December 18, 2006.[2] Prior to this, Gates served for 26 years in the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Council, and under President George H. W. Bush as Director of Central Intelligence. Immediately after being recruited by the CIA, he served as an officer in the United States Air Force.[3][4] After leaving the CIA, Gates became president of Texas A&M University and was a member of several corporate boards. Gates also served as a member of the Iraq Study Group, the bipartisan commission co-chaired by James A. Baker III and Lee Hamilton, that has studied the Iraq War. He was also the first pick to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security when it was created following the September 11 attacks, but he declined the appointment in order to remain President of Texas A&M University.[5]"
Translation: Yes Man
American Interrogator says Torture costs American Lives
You see, Gates doesn't care about our troops deployed overseas - because until the torture issue is settled, all captured Americans are in grave danger of torture by their captors. Maybe I can make this easy for Gates to understand: "an eye for an eye." That is the deal you are making for every member of the American armed services you &^$%. Now tell me how you are protecting those Americans?

" Each of the lawsuits represent several soldiers but were filed on behalf of at least 100,000 others who are alleged to suffer from health problems resulting from exposure to emissions released by the incineration of waste at military bases.
Kellogg Brown and Root and its former parent company Halliburton, which at one time was led by former vice president Dick Cheney, had a government contract to destroy waste at US bases and camps in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Note: Don't the Iraqis and Afghanis breathe the same air over there that our troops breathe? I wonder where their lawsuits are?

Senator Faces G.O.P. Rebuke Back Home
Lordy lordy lordy - I'm going to apologize for this in advance. Gimme a fire and a steel-toed boot to warm the toe of said boot up to red hot so I can kick this southern-sun-fried-simpleton where the sun doesn't shine.

" The executive committee of the Charleston County Republican Party, in a voice vote on Monday, rebuked Mr. Graham “for many of the positions he has taken that do not represent the wishes of the people of South Carolina, such as: passing a ‘cap and trade’ energy bill, bailing out banks and granting amnesty for illegal aliens,” according to the censure resolution."

1/3 of Homeless Today are Veterans

"Currently there are approximately 131,000 homeless veterans in the United States, that’s down from about 200,000 reported just a few years ago, and the government continues to spend money on the problem. What’s clear from today’s Senate Banking Committee hearing is that money is not enough. Coordination and conveniently located services may go a longer way to making those programs more effective in helping homeless veterans and preventing a generation of returning veterans from entering an endless cycle of hopelessness."

Here's something from Wes Clark article on Cybersecurity:
" During the July 4 holiday weekend, the latest in a series of cyberattacks was launched against popular government Web sites in the United States and South Korea, effectively shutting them down for several hours. It is unlikely that the real culprits will ever be identified or caught. Most disturbing, their limited success may embolden future hackers to attack critical infrastructure, such as power generators or air-traffic-control systems, with devastating consequences for the U.S. economy and national security.
As Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrote earlier this year in these pages, "The United States cannot kill or capture its way to victory" in the conflicts of the future. When it comes to cybersecurity, Washington faces an uphill battle. And as a recent Center for Strategic and International Studies report put it, "It is a battle we are losing." "

This is an old rant - but I never addressed being proud of being a so-called "Conspiracy Theorist."
I've addressed that flaccid tinny statement in past articles Ad Nauseum. See the link on left for articles with conspiratorial tags - it'll save some time. But as for WHY I am proud to be a conspiracy theorist ( I couldn't sufficiently define it at the time)- for one reason, because I want to be known as a critical thinker. I also want to be known as an open-minded person capable of considering ANY explanation for events - regardless of my religious beliefs. I do this for those who came before me, those here with me, and those to follow who will have the opportunity to live in the free America I grew up in.
Conspiracy theorists are the only persons capable of considering a conspiracy - so have a leg up on the "crowd." You see, Bernays, you don't fool me.
I'm proud to be a leader not a follower.
I'm proud to be independent-minded.
I'm proud to be of sound enough mind to jealously and passionately guard my rights.

BELOW IS CALLED:
OUR AMERICAN TRAIN WRECK: BY ACCIDENT OR DESIGN FROM PREVIOUS BLOG POST
It is my firm belief that the Average American Family is in for some big shocks and some hard times with regards to their savings, civil rights, and the future direction of their country. And if these Americans shrink from their duty to get involved they won't have to worry about the country their children will inherit - because somebody else will own it.
I base these opinions on information available mostly on the internet. Yes - the internet - the last bastion of free speech where even a JackRabbit can express views for the consideration of others. Will it last?
The election of Obama demonstrated that the public knows what they want - but for some reason they can't get what they want. How is it possible to have elected Obama yet the war plan accelerates? Once again we get a smooth-talker who, exactly like GWB did upon election, acts in opposition to campaign promises. If you remember the debates - it was obvious who the corporate owned media deemed worthy of debate time and who they didn't. Is it a coincidence that corporations benefit from Obama's actions and the public suffers? Hmmm - how many times the president's salary was spent getting him elected? No profit-first corporation spends money unless they expect a return on investment.
Jack Rabbit's opinion - your average Joe-6-pack is oblivious to the geopolitical situation because he and wifee are working working working- paying usurious and arbitrary interest to monopoly lenders - paying for private school, paying ever-rising-prices for food as inflation kicks in, getting robbed on gasoline, car repairs, phone bills, car rental bills - basically everything. They are also completely in the dark because their media has been usurped by corporations with no interest in the public good - but in siphoning money into the CEO that runs the slum-like corporation. We used to call them slumlords - but somehow they've become great American heroes these American corporate CEOs - yes the robber-barons - perhaps because they, the robber-barons are the owners of the very media that treats the American public like mushrooms - keep'em in the dark and feed them sh#t. There is no longer any regulation of anything in the United States to the benefit of the average worker. As far as contracts are concerned the party who entered into the contract who is more well-heeled makes the rules. Those rules are the golden rule. Those with the gold rule. Speaking of gold - 2009 should be a good one for gold (IMO)- the metal you can hold in your hand. Liquid for sure. But six-pack Joe has no cash - just credit - which is worthless if you wish to purchase American Eagles.
What's the problem? It's complicated! Risking sounding "crazy" I'll come out and say that it appears to me that we are being sold out in such a way that will ultimately end in one-world-government unless YOU become active to prevent it. The monetary crisis will provide the perfect lens with which to focus the masses to submit to emergency measures required to "fix" the problem - these measures, naturally, will require the surrender of RIGHTS. Is this a conspiracy theory? So what if it is? If it walks like a duck... I don't know if it is or not but it seems reasonable to me that if group A wants to steal everything group B owns - that conspiracy is a given. There is plenty of info on this blog and those linked under Enlightenment. We Americans have tortured. We Americans are imprisoning people without trial. We Americans are firing missies via drone aircraft into sovereign nations. We Americans are occupiers. It is time to wake up -wise up - and stand up. Forget the money wasted on these misadventures of mass murder for a minute - think instead about sending kids to wars based on lies so corporations can profit. Take the most patriotic true believers - put a uniform on them - hand them a machine gun - and make them kill somebody else's kids who are doing exactly the same thing. I ask you reader - what are you getting out of all this militarism? Hmmm I guess if you are employed by the war industry a paycheck. I hope it's worth it.
Somehow the North American Union is on the Way (NAU) with or without public approval. This merging of Canada, USA, and Mexico seems to build itself as anyone you ask about it will deny it. Yet highways are planned. Our borders are unprotected. With the NAU, like the European Union preceding it, is rumored a new currency called the Amero which will be "necessary" (unConstitutional as it is) to solve the financial crisis. Oh and about the financial crisis - mostly a crisis for anybody who has to continue payments on their mortgage at the bubble-market prices. No relief in sight for us - but the banks get bailed out. I've read that 9.3 Trillion Dollars would have payed off EVERY MORTGAGE IN THE UNITED STATES - but whaddaya know - that's not what was done with the phony "bailout" money - it went, it seems, to the same crooks that caused this mess in the first place. If this sounds crazy to you perhaps you can explain what you got out of the bailout - that is unless you work for Goldman Sachs.
Iran - Who the hell wants to send their kid to die in Iran? Send me your name, I'll put you on a list, so the rest of us know not to mourn for your contribution to the conquest of sovereign nations with OUR OIL UNDER THEIR SOIL! I'm sorry for the rage - but what are you going to get personally out of an invasion of another country except higher taxes and the status of a modern-day Nazi in the eyes of the rest of the world. If you consider this writer paranoid - then is it reasonable for me to ask what word can be used to describe the American war on terror - where essentially we have to preemptively strike others (with real missiles killing real people) because of what they might do? How sane is that?
Iraq - WTF? WMD, blah blah blah. Yeah - Powell holds up a test tube of corn starch in front of the world at the U.N. and presto we go to war. Come to find out it was all fabricated, false, fake, lies. That's what we were told and parents all over the U.S. sent their kids into a meat grinder. Lies. We are supposedly concerned about Iraqi civilization. Then WTF happened to all the antiquities from the museums of the cradle of civilization when America's armed forces wrecked the place? The loss of Iraqs artifacts couldn't have done much to help them understand their history any better could it? But our prez did specifically warn them not to burn the oil wells in Iraq when we attacked them without cause. Do you remember that? Meanwhile irreplaceable, priceless artifacts vanish thanks to an absolute disregard to their importance. We're from the American government and we're here to help. To the average person it may seem too sick to fathom that anyone would invade another country for natural resources - after all we are talking about human life here. Is it possible that our leaders don't share our values?
Afghanistan - This is an easy one - Opium poppy. Pre-911 Taliban wiped this crop out. America moves in- banner crop every year. I'm also old enough to remember when the Soviets tried to take the place - what a bloodbath - but now Amerika moves in because we are so much braver etc... than the rest of mankind including antiquity. Pat Tillman died in Afghanistan and we were told numerous lies about the circumstances - now it seems the man in charge during that fiasco - is - no - not demoted - put in charge of the whole place. Yeah that makes a lot of sense to me - NOT. What can explain such actions of our leaders?
Federal Reserve - don't talk about this topic or your head may end up back and to the left.
Council on Foreign Relations - I prefer to call this the Presidents club. Get their podcast - see if you can predict the future of every single American decision before it happens! Give it a try!
911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB - yes, I'm finally able to understand that the American masses don't have either the education or the time or the energy to understand the scientific findings pointing to nano-thermate and where such a thing comes from. The masses have also ben conditioned for many many decades to see no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil when someone is called a "Conspiracy Theorist." That's really a testimonial for our education system which is ........bad word. There is much evidence gathered via the ever-growing grassroots 911Truth movement demonstrating that the official conspiracy theory the American government fed to its mushroom-masses was a myth. Much info on this blog and the sites linked. This is not a small issue. Ignore at the risk of basing all future decisions upon false premises.
Military-mercenary-industrial-educational-lawenforcement-corporateprison complex - 1 in ten Americans live behind bars so we and they can BE SAFE. But I wonder how a pot-smoker can be safe sharing a cell with a murderer, rapist etc...????? I suppose I'll have a chance to find out since the bullsh*t hate speech laws aimed at bloggers like myself who dare to exercise their right to free speech may eventually shut my "microphone" off. Great! Now you can get all of your information from the same "news" shills who simply serve the propaganda bleat of the day from their corporate masters. Do you really think someone on NBC can say something that will negatively effect the GE stock price? If you do I've got a bridge for sale. Our rights are inalienable - yet the wise men in our feckless fascist government are paving the way to silence critics via "hate" crime. How pathetically childish. Somehow it suits the majority of the mushroom-like American public. I'm sorry for the sarcasm but how many times does one have to be robbed until they can identify they are dealing with a robber?
Yes the U.S. Media Monopoly - well not a monopoly - maybe a tri-opoly? It's that bad. The FCC is a toothless facade. They are not worth the expensive office space they consume. The FCC has failed in their mission - period. They don't even have the courtesy to quit, go home, and stop sucking off the government teat. No, not teat, they are bloodsuckers - because as they drain public funds their inaction undermines the public good by depriving the VOTERS of opportunities to hear dissenting voices - by allowing media consolidation. The result? Even those Americans who try to inform themselves are stuck with paid corporate liars posing as newspersons. Dig around on this blog - consider these seemingly radical ideas like free speech and independent thought. Glen Beck says 911 truthers wanna' kill Jews - this is more than a lie - this is disinformation aimed at diverting and confusing the public. Some news eh? Jack Rabbit thinks there is almost ZERO on TV, RADIO worth watching or listening to. Why? Just look at your stocks - it's the economy stupid! If they are worth anything why weren't you warned about your ENRON stock etc...? AIG? Perhaps a coincidence - yes that's it! Popular Mechanics is a great example - do they get any ad money from the war industry? Do they work hard to "debunk" 911 Truth? Hmmmmm. Wait....I'm in business too... lemme think about this - lots of military ad money - nano thermite/thermate (unreacted) found in WTC dust - nano thermite comes from military-industrial-educational-mercenary complex - a connection? Absolutely NOT since this would imply a conspiracy. Forget that. Sorry.
Torture - On this topic - I am stuck. I cannot reconcile OSHA regulations and Torture chambers. Maybe it's just me but all I can say is that OSHA needs to be disbanded because Americans don't care about torture - unless that is - their precious little one is held captive in one of our occupied countries - then - suddenly - this becomes a horrible, medieval practice. Pure witchcraft......but don't we have to burn them with cigs to get fake info to embark on corporate resource wars? Yes - I want cheap gasoline to go the beach which I never get because they raise the price every tourist season - but my kid is being tortured. That's wrong - but I don't care if they torture "terrorists" who've been named terrorists without a trial because they are Muslims - where is my Happy Meal?
Americans - my fellow "citizens" (and I use that term loosely) - WAKE THE FLOCK UP! Your country, and most importantly, your Bill of Rights is being stolen from you for the interests of... Who? Israel is one for sure. The answer to this question you will have to figure out for yourself. The answers are on this blog, at the sites linked, and possibly apparent on your credit card statement.
Finally - a word of encouragement. The powers manipulating the American system are those who take the time, interest, and money to do so. The American system works perfectly - the most involved parties overcome. If you are not involved - you will be overcome by those who are. That is the absolute bottom line. Don't forget it.

If this sounds crazy to you perhaps you can explain what you got out of the bailout - that is unless you work for Goldman Sachs.
Iran - Who the hell wants to send their kid to die in Iran? Send me your name, I'll put you on a list, so the rest of us know not to mourn for your contribution to the conquest of sovereign nations with OUR OIL UNDER THEIR SOIL! I'm sorry for the rage - but what are you going to get personally out of an invasion of another country except higher taxes and the status of a modern-day Nazi in the eyes of the rest of the world. If you consider this writer paranoid - then is it reasonable for me to ask what word can be used to describe the American war on terror - where essentially we have to preemptively strike others (with real missiles killing real people) because of what they might do? How sane is that?
Iraq - WTF? WMD, blah blah blah. Yeah - Powell holds up a test tube of corn starch in front of the world at the U.N. and presto we go to war. Come to find out it was all fabricated, false, fake, lies. That's what we were told and parents all over the U.S. sent their kids into a meat grinder. Lies. We are supposedly concerned about Iraqi civilization. Then WTF happened to all the antiquities from the museums of the cradle of civilization when America's armed forces wrecked the place? The loss of Iraqs artifacts couldn't have done much to help them understand their history any better could it? But our prez did specifically warn them not to burn the oil wells in Iraq when we attacked them without cause. Do you remember that? Meanwhile irreplaceable, priceless artifacts vanish thanks to an absolute disregard to their importance. We're from the American government and we're here to help. To the average person it may seem too sick to fathom that anyone would invade another country for natural resources - after all we are talking about human life here. Is it possible that our leaders don't share our values?
Afghanistan - This is an easy one - Opium poppy. Pre-911 Taliban wiped this crop out. America moves in- banner crop every year. I'm also old enough to remember when the Soviets tried to take the place - what a bloodbath - but now Amerika moves in because we are so much braver etc... than the rest of mankind including antiquity. Pat Tillman died in Afghanistan and we were told numerous lies about the circumstances - now it seems the man in charge during that fiasco - is - no - not demoted - put in charge of the whole place. Yeah that makes a lot of sense to me - NOT. What can explain such actions of our leaders?
Federal Reserve - don't talk about this topic or your head may end up back and to the left.
Council on Foreign Relations - I prefer to call this the Presidents club. Get their podcast - see if you can predict the future of every single American decision before it happens! Give it a try!
911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB - yes, I'm finally able to understand that the American masses don't have either the education or the time or the energy to understand the scientific findings pointing to nano-thermate and where such a thing comes from. The masses have also ben conditioned for many many decades to see no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil when someone is called a "Conspiracy Theorist." That's really a testimonial for our education system which is ........bad word. There is much evidence gathered via the ever-growing grassroots 911Truth movement demonstrating that the official conspiracy theory the American government fed to its mushroom-masses was a myth. Much info on this blog and the sites linked. This is not a small issue. Ignore at the risk of basing all future decisions upon false premises.
Military-mercenary-industrial-educational-lawenforcement-corporateprison complex - 1 in ten Americans live behind bars so we and they can BE SAFE. But I wonder how a pot-smoker can be safe sharing a cell with a murderer, rapist etc...????? I suppose I'll have a chance to find out since the bullsh*t hate speech laws aimed at bloggers like myself who dare to exercise their right to free speech may eventually shut my "microphone" off. Great! Now you can get all of your information from the same "news" shills who simply serve the propaganda bleat of the day from their corporate masters. Do you really think someone on NBC can say something that will negatively effect the GE stock price? If you do I've got a bridge for sale. Our rights are inalienable - yet the wise men in our feckless fascist government are paving the way to silence critics via "hate" crime. How pathetically childish. Somehow it suits the majority of the mushroom-like American public. I'm sorry for the sarcasm but how many times does one have to be robbed until they can identify they are dealing with a robber?
Yes the U.S. Media Monopoly - well not a monopoly - maybe a tri-opoly? It's that bad. The FCC is a toothless facade. They are not worth the expensive office space they consume. The FCC has failed in their mission - period. They don't even have the courtesy to quit, go home, and stop sucking off the government teat. No, not teat, they are bloodsuckers - because as they drain public funds their inaction undermines the public good by depriving the VOTERS of opportunities to hear dissenting voices - by allowing media consolidation. The result? Even those Americans who try to inform themselves are stuck with paid corporate liars posing as newspersons. Dig around on this blog - consider these seemingly radical ideas like free speech and independent thought. Glen Beck says 911 truthers wanna' kill Jews - this is more than a lie - this is disinformation aimed at diverting and confusing the public. Some news eh? Jack Rabbit thinks there is almost ZERO on TV, RADIO worth watching or listening to. Why? Just look at your stocks - it's the economy stupid! If they are worth anything why weren't you warned about your ENRON stock etc...? AIG? Perhaps a coincidence - yes that's it! Popular Mechanics is a great example - do they get any ad money from the war industry? Do they work hard to "debunk" 911 Truth? Hmmmmm. Wait....I'm in business too... lemme think about this - lots of military ad money - nano thermite/thermate (unreacted) found in WTC dust - nano thermite comes from military-industrial-educational-mercenary complex - a connection? Absolutely NOT since this would imply a conspiracy. Forget that. Sorry.
Torture - On this topic - I am stuck. I cannot reconcile OSHA regulations and Torture chambers. Maybe it's just me but all I can say is that OSHA needs to be disbanded because Americans don't care about torture - unless that is - their precious little one is held captive in one of our occupied countries - then - suddenly - this becomes a horrible, medieval practice. Pure witchcraft......but don't we have to burn them with cigs to get fake info to embark on corporate resource wars? Yes - I want cheap gasoline to go the beach which I never get because they raise the price every tourist season - but my kid is being tortured. That's wrong - but I don't care if they torture "terrorists" who've been named terrorists without a trial because they are Muslims - where is my Happy Meal?
Americans - my fellow "citizens" (and I use that term loosely) - WAKE THE FLOCK UP! Your country, and most importantly, your Bill of Rights is being stolen from you for the interests of... Who? Israel is one for sure. The answer to this question you will have to figure out for yourself. The answers are on this blog, at the sites linked, and possibly apparent on your credit card statement.
Finally - a word of encouragement. The powers manipulating the American system are those who take the time, interest, and money to do so. The American system works perfectly - the most involved parties overcome. If you are not involved - you will be overcome by those who are. That is the absolute bottom line. Don't forget it.
