Nikolai Yezhov, walking with Stalin in the top photo from the 1930s, was killed in 1940. Following his execution, Yezhov was edited out of the photo by Soviet censors.^[54] Such retouching was a common occurrence during Stalin's rule.

Saving America: Turning Lemons into Lemonade

Our Crisis

We do indeed live in "interesting times."  But are we interested in the right things?  What are the "right" things we should be interested in?  After all, it seems that in an ostensibly free country with "liberty and justice for all" bandied about as a foundational credo - the opposite has somehow become the status quo - that is - if YOU or I my dear citzen - dare to become interested in the "wrong" things.

The Sorcerers of Reality

I am an American citizen.  It is my DUTY to involve myself in the deeds performed by the United States Government in my name using my tax dollars.  Taxation in America is no joke - they want their money - and they'll come and get it.  Presently at an individual level there seems to be no escape from the boiler room on the trainwreck called the  Yoo-ess-ayy - where we are obligated to shovel our hard-won earnings into a ravenous furnace of immorality - while the Yoo-ess-ay derails eating the life out of all aboard, smashing any and all patriots standing in its doomed path.  One would think that only  a suicidal passenger on the Yoo-ess-ayy would opt to ignore our pending doom - but somehow the world has turned upside down where it is implied that only the suicidal will dare to speak out against the sorcerers of our pre-packaged reality.  Like who?

Michael Hastings

What happened to Michael Hastings?  Who can argue that Hastings is a hero?  Here's a little bit about him from here:

"Hastings was best known for a 2010 Rolling Stone profile that led to the resignation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Hastings was a contributing editor at the magazine.

Petraeus resigned from the CIA after publicly admitting that he and Broadwell had carried on an extramarital affair.

At the time the article was published, McChrystal commanded all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. In the piece, he voiced open contempt for President Obama and administration policies. Soon after, McChrystal met with the president and tendered his resignation."

From another article we are told the usual "move along nothing to see here" with the standard addition that those who think he was murdered are "conspiracy theorists:"  

"Hastings, 33, died about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when his 2013 silver Mercedes slammed into a tree in Hancock Park and burst into flames. The car was going so fast, the engine was found more than 100 feet away from the crash, authorities said.

Since Hasting’s death, wild conspiracy theories have bloomed on the Internet, implying he was murdered by powerful forces wanting to silence him."

SOOOOOO...... the presstitute media (as Paul Craig Roberts often calls it)  that has been complicit as the propaganda arm of our police state shouts louder to drown out public outcry that Not just "conspiracies" abound......but WILD  conspiracy theories!  Wow - they are getting desperate.  But shouldn't we first take a step back at the big picture to consider other factors?  Ya' know like MEANS, MOTIVE AND OPPORTUNITY?   Or shouldn't WE THE PEOPLE think those thoughts, that is, unless we want to be next!

An article here tells us that the US Federal Government claims they have the right to kill anyone anywhere, anytime including US citizens and that they have already.  So doesn't it stand to reason that  WE THE PEOPLE would ask the next logical question - did you do it again by murdering Michael Hastings?

"It is legal for the American government to order the killing of an American citizen if a "high-level" official decides that the person is a senior member of al-Qaeda or an associated group who poses "an imminent threat of violent attack" against the US, according to a Justice Department memo obtained by NBC News. But the 16-page document, which details the legal reasoning behind the use of drone strikes against Americans, uses a very broad definition of "imminent." A key part:

• "The condition that an operational leader present an 'imminent' threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on US persons and interests will take place in the immediate future.""

The answer:  YES!  After all they told us that they think they have the right to do it.  So YES the Federal government is to be HIGHLY SUSPECT.

MEANS

We can read HERE that modern automobile driver control can be remotely over-ridden:

"Many people know about GM's Onstar which maintains an always on cellular internet connection to the heart of the engine control system and has been that way since the 90's. But few people know about the Federal mandate, which in 2005 forced manufacturers to include a similar always on internet connection via the cell network in EVERY car sold in America, Onstar or not. And this team of hackers has proven that a remote connection can indeed allow commandeering of these cars (in their case they used a remote controlled laptop plugged into the OBD port rather than the cell connection) that could be used to turn the car into a murder weapon. 
...
The CIA favors car accident deaths above all other assassination methods because the plausible denyability factor is so high, and even if all evidence seems to make the driver appear innocent, it's easy to stop such a defense by blaming drugs or alcohol. "


And of course if you do a little digging you will find that that is the direction the investigation will follow - find a way to blame Hastings for his own death:

"The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Coroner's officials said they plan to conduct toxicology tests on Hastings, which could take weeks. They are also attempting to determine whether any health issues contributed to the crash."

One must keep in mind that if there were a conspiracy to murder Michael Hastings a cover-up follow-through is essential for the perps to escape scrutiny.  Such cover-ups require the embedding of stereotypes in the public mind for later recall when the "authorities" provide the planned excuses for Michael's conveniently timed demise.  So "wild conspiracy theories" and "toxicology" are logical embeds in the crony media- that is - if a conspiracy really is afoot.

Perhaps other MEANS were used?  I am only considering possible options as an American Citizen - after all - means, motive, and opportunity are obvious considerations in any investigation:

"This helicopter is about 49 pounds, and you probably want to watch the video after the jump to see it in action. According to my Source, the Shadowhawk is already being used to track pirates off the Horn of Africa. Apparently, it is also used to enforce law on U.S. streets.

It also comes with the option of turbine or piston engines, thermal cameras, range fingers, and laser pointers. For those who want some weapons, it is also possible to install 37 mm or 40 mm grenade launchers, 12 gauge shotgun rounds, or even taser batons."

Justice in America

...or should that read InJustice Amerika?

I predict that "our" Justice Department [sic] will perform predictably with the same evidence effacing efficiency we've come to expect from government workers.  Surely you can remember the old joke "We're from the government and we're here to help."  Ha ha ha - the question is .... help with WHAT?

I anticipate an array of antics consistent with their perfect track record of incredulousness.  Conspiracy? What's that?  This is the same federal government of obsessed paranoiacs and control freaks that see a conspirator (terrorist) hiding under every laptop computer lid.  These are the psychopaths that have trained our police to shoot first and ask questions later.  These are the same inept and overpaid boobs that cry "plot" every time someone does a Google search for "pressure cooker."  "Our" injustice department IS that hammer to which everything appears a nail - that is - when it suits their agenda of Total Control over We The People.  But if a journalist intent on revealing their dastardly machinations dies conveniently in a suspicious fiery blaze - they can only say to us "What do you mean conspiracy?"

Lemons, lemons everywhere...so how to make a drink?

Although the violent psychopaths press on their war on free speech there is still plenty of good information out there for the average Joe to conclude that we are being lied to.  How is one to tell who is telling the truth?

If one is inclined to educate themselves regarding the JFK murder, for example, there is a vast sea of good information, bad info, outright lies and truth.  Those providing the information available are often attacked ad hominem by those with opposing viewpoints making it difficult to know who to believe.  In the end we must trust our own instincts and judgement.  But we must LOOK first - decide later.

Much of what we face now regarding Michael Hastings' death is propaganda.  Walter Lippmann on page 27 of "Public Opinion" defines propaganda:

"We have learned to call this propaganda.  A group of men, who can prevent independent access to the event, arrange the news of it to suit their purpose."

So we can expect propaganda - but we must beware the dangers inherent in our individual digestion of data distributed to us from all sources - and we are dependent upon media sources for our information because (page 53 Pub Op):

"Inevitably our opinions cover a bigger space, a longer reach of time, a greater number of things, than we can directly observe.  They have therefore, to be pieced together out of what others have reported and what we can imagine."

Our interpretation of data presented is further filtered (and encouraged by the fake corporate media) to pass judgement without examining the facts.  This is human nature as described on p 54:

"For the most part we do not see first, and then define, we define first and then  see."

It seems reasonable that media outlets encouraging that we fall into a well-known trap of human perception should be regarded with suspicion - don't you agree?

CONCLUSION

Trust your own judgement.  Conspiracy is as American as Apple Pie - don't be fooled.  Regardless of the cries of terror, the pleas to give up your liberty for a little fake safety under the protective umbrella of the biggest terrorists on the planet - always remember the Bill of Rights as your center.  Everybody deserves their day in court and the government was established in these United States with only ONE MANDATE - to preserve the individual rights of WE THE PEOPLE.  So keep juicing the lemons and in the end we'll all enjoy the sweet lemonade of LIBERTY.

You may notice a trend here.  Proximity to certain individuals in powerful positions in the U.S. government may be hazardous to one's health.  Once one's usefulness dies it appears...that soon so does that formerly useful "friend."


Who's next?  Maybe they have a surprise gift for us in mind sometime in the future.

After all - only our corrupt media competes with our murderous federal government to be the biggest threat to the rights of Americans. 


...and we all know that the U.S. government hates competition.


Maybe their next extrajudicial murder will do us some good?

ACLU Sues U.S. Government Over Awlaki's Hit List Designation

Read entire article HERE.

"Last month Awlaki's father Nasser Al-Awlaki asked the ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights to challenge the government's placement of his son on a list of US Citizens that can be assassinated by US forces and intelligence services for ties to terrorism.

However, when an individual has been designated a terrorist by OFAC, it is illegal for anyone to represent that person legally, and thus contest the designation or the freezing of assets, unless OFAC grants special permission."

" Greenwald wrote. "Suffice to say -- and I'm asking this literally -- if you're someone who believes, or are at least willing to acquiesce to the claim, that the U.S. President has the power to target your fellow citizens for assassination without a whiff of due process, what unchecked presidential powers wouldn't you support or acquiesce to?""

Transcript: Daniel Ellsberg Says He Fears US Might Assassinate Wikileaks Founder

Read entire article here:

" “We have after all for the first time, that I ever perhaps in any democratic country, we have a president who has announced that he feels he has the right to use special operations operatives against anyone abroad, that he thinks is associated with terrorism,” says Ellsberg. “Now as I look at Assange’s case, they’re worried that he will reveal current threats. I would have to say puts his well-being, his physical life, in some danger now. And I say that with anguish. I think it’s astonishing that an American president should have put out that policy and he’s not getting these resistance from it, from Congress, the press, the courts or anything. It’s an amazing development that I think Assange would do well to keep his whereabouts unknown.”"

Note: If anything happens to this guy - in my opinion - it will be a game changer. Just like the Israelis shooting the civilians, including American citizens, on the Gaza flotilla it is a politically stupid move that will bring about the demise of the perpetrators. These immoral public servants in our government, who are betraying the citizenry, their masters must be reigned in. Their radical actions bely their immorality and disconnection with the values of the public.

U.S. Decision to Approve Killing of Cleric Causes Unease

Read entire article here:

“Congress has protected Awlaki’s cellphone calls,” said Vicki Divoll, a former C.I.A. lawyer who now teaches at the United States Naval Academy. “But it has not provided any protections for his life. That makes no sense.”"
--------
Note: The Republic is not functioning as individual rights are not being protected by the government - just the opposite. Your government no longer protects you or anyone else - it determines when you will die once you are called a name. No evidence required. At least somebody at the Naval Academy still understands the way our government is supposed to function.

Heil Obama! U.S. Approves Targeted Killing of American Citizen

Practice your goose-step boys and girls because it's official now - we have become NAZIs as a precedent is set for a NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES, where all opposition can be murdered without a pesky court system getting in the way of extrajudicial murder without trial. Heil Obama!

The New York Times calmly informs the American public that the government hired to protect the rights of ALL citizens is about to ignore that duty - and actually kill a citizen without trial. Heil Obama!

" The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen, the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to have shifted from encouraging attacks on the United States to directly participating in them, intelligence and counterterrorism officials said Tuesday." Heil Obama!

The fact that this order is even under consideration is evidence that we have lost our Republic. It is really that simple. Our government no longer serves its primary function as protector of the rights of citizens. Heil Obama!

And who will carry out the killing? Perhaps they can grab the U.S. citizen and bring him to the White House where the "constitutional scholar" may wish to shoot the man himself? That would at least show more courage than ordering others to carry out this unconstitutional action. At least Hitler had the guts to go out in the street and do his own dirty work. Heil Obama!

The moment the United States military or mercenaries acting on behalf of the United States government carry out this order they will stain themselves forever joining the ranks of the murderous Waffen SS - the force that performed the same actions under the last Reich.

For those who will comply with such unconstitutional orders remember: The blood stain will never come off your uniforms - ever. You will forever be dishonored. You will have forever dishonored the branch of service of which you are a member. You will forever have violated your primary duty to uphold your oath to protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC. You don't get a pass on the second part. Your crime can never be reversed - the damage to the Republic will be permanent, and you will NEVER BE FORGIVEN. Heil Obama!

If these orders are carried out it will be the end of the late great constitutional republic known as the United States of America. And Ironically it will have been inititated by none other than a "constitutional scholar." Heil Obama!

Which one of us will be next? Will it be you? Don't they go after the writers? (Yikes-Are we bloggers supposed to shut up and learn how to lick the soles of jackboots like all the TV "news" and radio personalities?)

Here's a video also contained in the link above - I suggest you take it into consideration in case you are on the list to be eliminated once the precedent is set by carrying out the killing linked above:

Perhaps you will watch the entire video - but to save time go to time=2:26 and listen to Ewald Von Kleist describe the point at which he and everybody else knew that they'd lost their country:

"this government... as a government started to become a murderer...remember that they shot a great number of people without any bringing them to court - they just killed them..."



Not only can it happen here - IT IS HAPPENING HERE! HEIL OBAMA!

I encourage anyone in law enforcement or the military that may be asked to carry out such unconstitutional orders to visit OATHKEEPERS. Uphold your oath, do you duty and save America!

FACT CHECK 2: Jesse Ventura on AlJazeera w/ Riz Khan

It may be time not to switch your TV off - just switch the channel from Fox etc... to AlJazeera - or try some of the links on the left side of this blog. Say what you want - but get ready for an interview that is simply impossible to see on Corporamerikan "news" shows.

I wonder how Thom Hartmann*, Rhandi Rhodes, Glenn "shoot him in the head" Beck, Rush, Levin, Ingraham, Boortz, Hannity, Savage, Huffington Post - all of them - I wonder how they will show their faces in public as quality programs such as this become the norm? This single episode belies the diluted impotent nature of their Corporamerikan propascamda shows for the slanted lies-via-omission circus acts they really are.

Here's a snippet from the purblind Huffington Post - click red lettering above to see page:
" Editor's Note: The Huffington Post's editorial policy, laid out in our blogger guidelines, prohibits the promotion and promulgation of conspiracy theories -- including those about 9/11. As such, we have removed this post."

Now - let's see how it is supposed to be done...

VIDEO 1

The first video from AlJazeera begins with a refreshingly fair presentation of the subject matter- Jesse Ventura's book: "American Conspiracies: Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies that the Government Tells Us." A respectful interview commences with well-reasoned questions - allowing Jesse Ventura the time required to provide detailed answers to challenging questions.

A questioner asks if Jesse Ventura may be doing these interviews more for personal financial gain vs. patriotic reasons - or if possibly he knows more than he is talking about since he held elected positions with an implication that perhaps he has information he cannot divulge publicly that is compelling him to "go public."

Jesse quotes Thomas Jefferson saying "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" as he defends his exercise of duty as an American citizen in holding his government accountable - disregarding the opprobrium the fake Corporamerikan propascamda media goons attempt to slime upon him - all for simply asking questions.

The actual Thomas Jefferson quote, however, seems to be:
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then.” There are claims that the wording Jesse uses is misattributed to Thomas Jefferson.

I'd hate to see the reaction in Amerika if Jesse used the verbatim quote since the word rebellion might place him on a "do not fly" list. However - without going to Jefferson's writings I am still relying on the internet for these "facts." Regardless, if not to the exact letter of Jefferson - Jesse's paraphrase certainly captures the spirit of Jefferson's words.

To the question about Jesse having motives other than patriotism ... well you have to listen to his answer to that one. You may agree such criticisms are almost laughable after you hear his answer.

But perhaps this caller didn't really mean it that way. Jesse Ventura did a good job answering. I wonder if he was taken off-guard by an interview program that really was "fair and balanced" as demonstrated by their actions rather than tin-hollow words a la Faux news? I wonder if he may still be extra-vigilant answering questions since most interviewers he faces in the Corporamerikan propascamda media outlets greet him with hostility, insults, ridicule, theatrics and "deer-in-the-headlights" blank stares when he asks how WTC7 fell the way it did?

VIDEO 2


In this second video segment Jesse Ventura mentions that the CIA is active within the borders of the United States despite the conflict such activity presents vis a vis their charter - where it is illegal for them to operate within the United States. Hmmm - here's a recent incident that comes to mind that makes me think he's telling the truth:

Here is a snippet from an article to get you started on your own research - see entire article BY CLICKING HERE - make up your own mind.

" Last week’s breakin at Senator Mary Landrieu’s office in the New Orleans Federal Building was more than it seemed, much more. All of the 4 arrested had been trained by the CIA and, possibly, Israel. One arrested, Stan Dai, is listed as an Operations Officer of the Department of Defense Irregular Warfare Program and a known expert and lecturer on, not only surveillance but explosives training, assassinations and “false flag operations.” If you wanted a plane to crash, an enemy to get sick and die or a building to blow up, Dai would be the man to know how to make it happen. Problem is, his skills were being used as part of a criminal conspiracy inside the United States against members of our own government."

Another question to Jesse Ventura from audience member: Time=7:38

"Many documentaries support the belief that 9/11 was an inside job. However one becomes skeptical because the U.S. government can't kill it's own people."

Jesse brings up the Gulf of Tonkin incident - good point. Which reminds me of another incident from June 8, 1967 that gives credence to doubters of the honesty and good-will of the United States government when it comes to the well-being of its service members. In this case Americans were killed by non-American forces.


U.S.S. Liberty Memorial Site - Remember the Liberty

From the site (click link below picture for more):
" Despite a near-universal consensus that the Israeli attack was made with full knowledge that USS Liberty was a US Navy ship, the Johnson administration began an immediate cover-up of this fact. Though administration officers continued individually to characterize the attack as deliberate, the Johnson administration never sought the prosecution of the guilty parties or otherwise attempted to seek justice for the victims. They concealed and altered evidence in their effort to downplay the attack. Though they never formally accepted the Israeli explanation that it was an accident, they never pressed for a full investigation either. They simply allowed those responsible literally to get away with murder."

One wonders why, if the United States government is so very concerned with the lives of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines that this incident remains without closure?

See time=0:35 in this video where Ron Paul disputes Branch assertions that it is okay for them to assassinate their own citizens:

My hat is off to Riz Khan. I wonder if we can hire Riz Khan to give Larry King, Wolf Blitzer, Geraldo, Bill O. and the rest of them listed above training in journalism, critical thinking, manners or good listening skills? Bad idea - maybe just hire Riz Khan period. Or is that the problem - Corporamerikan Propascamda media mouthpieces are doing precisely their jobs - their masters' bidding designed - not to find truth - but to spread fear. To further agendas rather than try to get answers and truth necessary for an informed electorate. To protect their jobs by NOT reporting the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

*UPDATE MARCH 15, 2010 Thom Hartmann has earned back respect - he had Jesse Ventura on his show today to discuss his book "American Conspiracies"
- perhaps I don't understand completely the pressure radio hosts are under. Thanks Thom Hartmann for doing what you can to get the word out. I'm still piqued that you didn't give me more time to rebut you on Charlottesville, VA radio when you were speaking about your book on the Boston Tea Party when I asked why you are not speaking out more about Cass Sunstein's attacks on free speech. But thank you again for having Jesse on and making time for some discussion on the topic as a follow up - and as time goes on I'll keep listening to your show providing your freedom of speech is not infringed.

CIA and the NAZIs: How we got where we are today

The second video below contains interviews with historians, dramatizations and vintage footage to show the history of American dealings with the NAZIs. By understanding our past we can better understand how we got where we are today - that is - how America has become a nation supporting torture, government sanctioned murder, government murder of its own citizens, wars of aggression - essentially how we've become NAZIs.

Please first consider this video from Paul Craig Roberts - what is to be done?


Video below is described on Google website as follows:

" Conspiracy: CIA and the Nazis reveals how over 4,000 former Nazis went to work for the U.S. government, without the public's knowledge, to help fight the Soviet Union. Reinhard Gehlen, an intelligence officer for Hitler's General Staff, was tapped to head the U.S. intelligence program in West Germany to spy on the Russians. At the same time, former Nazi scientists and engineers were welcomed onto American soil. But the extent of these operations is only now becoming clear: In 1998, a law was passed mandating declassification of documents concerning recruitment of former Nazis. CIA AND THE NAZIS examines these files to see how far the U.S. went in recruiting its former enemy to fight its new one."

In light of recent news reports that it is U.S. government policy to assassinate American citizens - with White House approval of course - I thought it wise to take a walk down memory lane. A visit to the past to observe government run amok - with no regard for the rule of law. A government of men and not of laws. A government that will murder its own citizens.

US-NAZI INTEL - EXPLAINS HOW WE GOT WHERE WE ARE NOW

Shall We Start Building Ovens?

Read entire article US intelligence chief claims right to assassinate Americans overseas

" US Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair said on Wednesday that government agencies have a policy of assassinating Americans overseas as required by the “war on terror.”
In testimony before the House intelligence committee, Blair said the assassinations would be justified if US citizens were “taking action that threatens Americans.” This is an extremely broad category, giving the US intelligence apparatus general authority to engage in what amount to extra-judicial executions.

...The US follows “a set of defined policy and legal procedures that are very carefully observed,” Blair claimed. He also said that the US intelligence agencies seek “specific permission”—presumably from the White House, though Blair was not explicit—to carry out actions that will involve killing US citizens."
------
Note: Geez. I'll bet he needs a missile or two before each killling is accomplished. At least the NAZIs had the decency to save their citizens' money when they murdered people and built gas chambers to murder them in large numbers. This is typical American government working without any regard for the taxpayer's dollar.

The argument for imprisoning without trial was previously that our inalienable rights were reserved for American citizens - that's how the U.S. Federal government justified letting uncharged victims rot in jail without trial. Now they don't use that argument anymore - they just kill anybody they want American or not. This means you can forget about liberty and the pursuit of happiness because you don't even have the right to life anymore if these serial killers have their way with you.

So all that has to happen is Obama needs you dead and you are "dealt with." No trial. Just murdered. What is to prevent these same people from rounding up an entire village and slaughtering everyone? If you can kill one - why not 100 or 1000 or 6,000,000? After all - there are a lot of bad people out there that may or may not wish us harm. This brings us to the subject of what to do with the bodies.

Shall we start building ovens?

***Prove one's innocence? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" What happened to a justice system designed to "protect the innocent" where it was "better to let a guilty person go free than imprison an innocent person?"

UPDATE FEB 7, 2010 Read entire article the president of the United States can decide who lives and who doesn't. Not a court. Not a jury. Just the president.

UPDATE FEB 7, 2010 Help me out here - just for the sake of argument and sanity testing... if an American citizen overseas attempted suicide, that person would be "taking action that threatens Americans" (themself) thereby fitting the requirement to be assassinated to protect themself (an American) from themself. Is it me or are we dealing with the insane here?

Murder, he says (From S. Jones)

Read entire article here:

Regarding Obama:

" He claims the authority to have you killed."

Note: Tis amazing our government now openly considers us the enemy. I guess the first people to be rounded up are the "big-mouths" like me and Spartacus Jones (he authored above article) - something worth pondering.

What does it mean, dear reader, what does it mean - when John Adams said:

" ... no good cause ever was or ever will be served by assassination and this is happily, in the present age, the universal sense of mankind."

Assassination Teams and Convenient Deaths

HERE you can watch a video interview from Russia Today with Wayne Madsen discussing a program of institutionalized murder-possibly directed, among others, at former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. More on that at the bottom of this post.

Here is another video you may wish to consider:


Consider this video from Olbermann:


It is disturbing to me that my tax dollars are used for what can only be described as murder. No trial, no jury, no nothing - just kill them. What qualifications does a person need to be murdered by my government? I can only guess but here are a few mysterious deaths for you to think about:

Here is a video:(ORIGINAL NEWSCAST WAS REMOVED BY BIG BROTHER AS IS COMMON - SO I SUBSTITUTED THIS ONE IN ITS PLACE)


How about the D.C. Madam? Another mysterious death which occurred at a very convenient moment. I'd like to know what happened to that giant box of documents she was on camera lugging around with her. Could there be a link? Maybe we'll never find out but she specifically said that if she wound up suicided to expect foul play. Click HERE to read more then watch the video below:


Again - when news of a murder squad turns up one can only wonder if they actually killed anybody. Without evidence we can only speculate but what would motivate someone to kill Bhutto mentioned in 1st paragraph? See time=2:16 for very interesting statement from this murdered leader:


When will the elected officials of this American Republic do something about illegal and immoral acts committed on my behalf with my tax money? To answer my own question, based on the cowardice most of them have demonstrated up to this point I'll not hold my breath. In the meantime there is still hope that some brave souls with values more in line with basic human decency will step forward to bring an end to this.
