Swensson-Powell-Farrar-Welden vs. Obama – Judge Michael Malihi’s Final Order – Georgia Ballot Access Challenge – 2-3-2012

We caught up with Swensson/Powell’s counsel, Mark Hatfield, late this afternoon to get his initial take on the ruling. Here is what he stated “obviously we are disappointed w/the decision, but there are a couple of items in the ruling that we are looking at. First, the Judge never made any ruling on who has the burden of proof even though he indicated in chambers prior to the hearing that making the determination of the burden of proof laid with Defendant Obama.” He went onto state “the Judge has a record of placing the burden on the candidate, but didn’t do so in this case.” Another point Hatfield made was the “Indiana Court of Appeals ruling in Arkeny elevates the Indiana case above the Constitution” while also noting the Judge ignored the Minor court in Minor v Happersett, a ruling that clearly defined natural born Citizen, established precedent. When asked about next steps Hatfield stated “we are going full bore and taking it up on appeal”.

Court to Hear Obama Eligibility Challenge on Merits, First Time Ever, Jan. 26

Posted by helen - Wednesday 1/4/12

Gulag Bound

Contribuotr: CJ in TX @TellTheTruth1

“This will be the first time ever, since this whole thing began, that it will be looked on, on merit.” Those are the words of Carl Swensson, Republican Party Chairman of Clayton County, Georgia. “This” refers to an actual judicial hearing of the case against the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. to be, according to the United States Constitution, “Commander in Chief” and United States President.

The attorneys of Barack Obama requested a pretrial dismissal, as it had done on so many other occasions, against so many other cases. But yesterday, one judge denied and scheduled an official hearing of the case to commence, January 26.

From 2008 to the present, judicial standing has been refused the plaintiff, often via convoluted rationale, many say sophistry. The question however is elementary to our constitutional republic: can we as Citizens be assured those presented to us for our votes are eligible to hold office?

Unlike many other states, Georgia has a statue requiring just that. For Swensson’s part, he had “resolved that I would not let anyone on the ballot who is not demonstrably qualified to hold that office.” That would appear to be part of his job as party official and it is the job of Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brian Kemp (R) to assure election law is justly carried out. Swensson relates, “We have been hounding him at hearings he’s been having across the state.”

And so it came to pass that Kemp after some delay, followed due process and called forth the court designated by Georgia law, to hear such a case. This particular case was brought by Swensson and co-litigant, Kevin Richard Powell, attorney: J. Mark Hatfield, judge: Michael M. Malihi.

As veteran Obama eligibility beat reporter Bob Unruh details at WND.com:

While Obama’s attorney, Michael Jablonski, had argued that the requirements didn’t apply to candidates for a presidential primary, the judge said that isn’t how he reads state law.

“Statutory provisions must be read as they are written, and this court finds that the cases cited by [Obama] are not controlling. When the court construes a constitutional or statutory provision, the ‘first step … is to examine the plain statutory language,” the judge wrote. “Section 21-2-1(a) states that ‘every candidate for federal and state office’ must meet the qualifications for holding that particular office, and this court has seen no case law limiting this provision, nor found any language that contains an exception for the office of president or stating that the provision does not apply to the presidential preference primary.”

Stage set for further US/NATO military intervention around the world by Wayne Madsen

The Obama administration, in yet another display of the use of Orwellian language, has embarked on a military doctrine called “Mass Atrocity Prevention” (MAP), the Pentagon operational plan to implement the White House’s “R2P” or “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine. Essentially, the Pentagon will militarily support the intervention of international forces operating under the umbrella of NATO, UN, the African Union, the Organization of American States (OAS), the Arab League, and others to prevent a “massacre” by a dictatorial government perceived to pose a threat to its domestic opposition.

To Penn State Alumnae, It’s Time to Lead…

Posted by helen - Tuesday 11/22/11

by Helen Tansey ©

Who does the Board of Trustees at Penn State think they are kidding? Hiring the former master of cover ups FBI Director, Louis Freeh, is a big ass flag signalling the board at Penn State is in serious cover-up mode. Add to this Freeh’s possible conflict of interest which would only lead to his own bias toward this investigation. Philly.com reported Freeh’s ties to Penn State itself in a blockbuster article titled “Penn State investigator is ex-exec at firm with PSU ties: Update. One doesn’t bring in a hired “cover up” gun like Freeh unless, well, unless tentacles start to creep into lets say the Governor’s office -

“In 2009 more allegations were brought against Jerry Sandusky by Clinton County High School for molesting young boys where Sandusky was a volunteer coach. The 2009 charges were the responsibility of than Attorney General (Republican) Tom Corbett. Corbett claims he put off the case because he had ties to the Sandusky family. In 2009 Corbett had enough evidence to arrest Sandusky but chose to wait. Ironically the Second Mile Charity had donated over $640,000 to Corbett’s political campaigning including $200,000 for Corbett’s 2010 race for Governor of Pennsylvania http://earlyreturns.sites.post-gazette.com/index.php/early-returns-20/53-post-gazette-staff/3641-more-second-mile-psucorbett-ties To make matters worse Governor Tom Corbett aware of the Sandusky child molestation case in 2009 as attorney general approved a $3,000,000 state grant to The Second Mile Charity in 2010 and this is the same governor who refused to spend $40 million for disabled citizens but had $3 million to give a charity who he knew was the focus point of a child molestation case. http://thepennsylvaniaprogressive.com/“

It has also been reported by Goupstate.com that when acting as Pennsylvania’s top cop, Corbett assigned one measly investigator to the Sandusky case –

“Gov. Tom Corbett took the case on a referral from the Centre County district attorney in early 2009 while he was serving as attorney general.

[...]

The attorney general’s office declined to comment on the pace of the investigation.

The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reported Monday that only one trooper was assigned to the case after the state took it over in 2009. After Corbett became governor early this year and his former investigations supervisor in the attorney general’s office, Frank Noonan, became state police commissioner, seven more investigators were put on it, the newspaper said.”

And if it is leading to Corbett’s office you just know it will lead to former Governor Rendell -

“Pittsburgh — The charity established by the former Penn State coach at the heart of a child sex abuse scandal received approval for a $3 million state grant but the release of those funds is now on hold.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Wednesday the grant for The Second Mile was approved by Gov. Tom Corbett’s office earlier this year. Corbett was the attorney general whose office began the investigation into the alleged sexual contact between charity founder Jerry Sandusky and young boys.

The Post-Gazette report says the legislature budgeted for the grant last year and the funds were approved for release by Gov. Ed Rendell. Corbett’s office reviewed the grant agreement after he took office in January and approved the money.

Corbett’s office says the grant is now on hold.”

The children who are the victims of a nearly 30 year cover up by all parties involved will likely never see the justice they so richly deserve if this farce of an “independent” investigation goes forward. Instead, these kids, many now young adults, will endure yet a second level of trauma none should ever have to go through, while adding an entirely new class of victims – Penn State Almunae!

The Board of Trustees at Penn State and the Second Mile Foundation are culpable for the most horrendous and despicable acts perpetrated on the innocent. Nothing short of a full housecleaning and all parties involved locked behind bars for life will even come close to satisfying the disgust, the absolute disgust, citizens hold toward those who looked the other way and did nothing to protect these young kids from the most heinous acts by those entrusted to care for them. NOTHING!

It’s high time the Alumnae of Penn State rally around the victims and conduct their own damned independent investigation of the multiple crimes committed by the leadership of Penn State who has absolutely failed you. Independent meaning removing the professional hired guns like Louis Freeh from doing further emotional damage to these victims and their families and giving cover to those in positions of power who neutered or quashed police investigation after police investigation.

Silence or sitting on the sidelines won’t suffice. Not this time. People have absolutely had it with supposed adults placed in leadership positions using their power to further their sick and twisted abuse of children.

Do you hear me Penn State Alumnae?

Do the children, the citizens of Pennsylvania, the nation a favor and rip this “pretend” internal investigation out of the Board of Trustees hands and hire your own independent team so as to get to the bottom of this God awful mess. Be the leaders your alma mater inspired you to be.

By not taking the future of your beloved school into your own hands, you too will become a victim of this ongoing cover up. Don’t let that happen. Take the bull by the horns and lead!

The victims, their families, Happy Valley, your college, current and future students and the entire Alumnae deserve nothing less. The people of this nation will support you in earnest. We desperately need you to lead and succeed. Please take control of your beloved alma mater’s destiny today!

PENN STATE MUST IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND THEIR FOOTBALL PROGRAM!!!

Posted by helen - Friday 11/11/11

by Helen Tansey ©

Penn State must immediately suspend their football program, if for no other reason than to save their players from public ridicule and humiliation when in fact such vitriol must be directed at the university’s Board of Directors, Administration and once stellar leadership of the football team.

The kids who trusted Penn State’s leadership should not be made to pay the price for the Board’s decision who intentionally, deliberately and with malice  gave cover to Sandsuky, a known child predator, for 13 years. The kids deserve better. The public flogging should be directed at these empty suits and uniforms only!

When this story first broke, I thought it had something to do with rigging the game. I don’t do football. It’s one of those sports that baffles someone like me who considers the whole idea of grown men pummeling each other over a ball an utterly meaningless and rather barbaric exercise. But boys will be boys and damn if they don’t do the stupidest things.

But the gravity of the Penn State story has absolutely nothing to do with the game of football, but rather everything to do with power. Whether on Wall Street, the halls of Congress, a basketball court or football field men who attain power and influence who then use it to prey on children are the most despicable of creatures known to womankind.

This is what happened at Penn State that is a former coach, Jerry Sandusky, took extreme advantage of his position of power and authority by thoroughly betraying the little ones he pretended to serve.

This is what predators do no matter their position in life. They reel the innocent in by pretending they care and once they believe they’ve gained their trust, they test the child’s vulnerable boundaries…first a bap on the shoulder, then some horsing around, then rubbing the back, the hand on the leg…

Jerry Sandusky’s modus operandi is no different than any other pedophile. Remove all of the noise, the family, the resume and what you have is a very sick and demented individual.

As with any individual who preys on innocent children, he needs a system of enablers who know, instinctually, and in Sandusky’s case, eyewitness accounts, to serve as unwitting gatekeepers duped into providing cover to his predatory lifestyle.

The first cover up took place in 1998 when the mother of Victim 6 along with detectives recorded Sandusky saying aloud “I understand. I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won’t get it from you. I wish I were dead.” Don’t think for a minute Penn State management wasn’t made aware of this admission. They were. What other reason could possibly point to Sandusky’s removal from the football team staff and their banning him from bringing children to the football locker rooms.

Sandusky was 55 years old and in the prime of his professional life with Coach Paterno as his boss when he retired.

Yet Penn State, along w/Coach Paterno, wants you and me to believe that they were first made aware of Sandusky’s callous and sick behavior in 2002 when a 28 year old assistant happened upon Sandusky raping a ten year old child in the football shower facility.  Who do they think they are fooling?

It is difficult for me to fathom how Coach McQueary, then THE 28 year old graduate assistant, has, in all sincerity, lived all of these years with the image of a grown man sodomizing a 10 year old child. That is not an image you shake from your mind. This man has lived with that vision with no justice for all of these years.

Worse, he has lived with the fact that he did nothing to “physically” STOP the rape of Victim 2. Instead, because of what he saw was so out of his norm, fight or flight kicked in, he chose flight by immediately reaching out to the people he most trusted to give him counsel, his parents, and he got his dad. Had he reached his mom, she would have told her son to get back to that shower to make sure that child was okay, but he didn’t talk to his mom. Rather, he talked to his dad whose only counsel was to have his son immediately inform the chain of command. McQuery did immediately inform Coach Paterno, and the moment he did was the very moment Penn State went into covering the rape up and damage control.

McQueary’s fatal error was listening to the counsel of his father. You see, the men of McQuery’s fathers generation, not all men mind you, learned that when one demonstrates respect for the chain of command one gets results. His father had no way of knowing such a rule didn’t apply to Penn State’s management, and folks, it didn’t.

Rather, the management of Penn State looked out for the reputation of the university and to hell with the child. Obviously their code of silence kicked in, protect the institutions reputation at all costs and manage the damage.

Unfortunately for the management of Penn State, their success in snuffing out this monstrously horrible abuse of a child, actually eight victims so far and counting, was successfully swept under the rug for eight years by those who chose loyalty to an institution over one of their own raping a child in the prestigious football locker room.

But as all things that are swept under the rug, it comes back to bite ya, as in the ass where it should and HARD.

Coach Paterno and President Spanier were shown the door by Penn State’s Board of Directors and many of the kids on campus have been out in full force protesting the decision to fire the coach, but I have news for them. They are wrong. They are defending a man who knew as early as 1998 and as late as 2002 that one of his guys, remember Sandusky played and worked for Paterno, was as dirty, as despicable, as sick, as demented as any human could possibly be.

This disgusting story is growing legs with Pennsylvania radio personality Mark Madden, a reporter who has been following this story for some time now stated the following on a radio show yesterday -

‘”Madden stated that two “prominent columnists” are currently investigating a rumor that Jerry Sandusky’s Second Mile Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed to serve underprivileged youths, was “pimping out young boys to rich (Penn State) donors.” Madden went on to say that Jerry Sandusky was told by those running the show at Penn State football that Sandusky had to retire after allegations made in 1998 that the defensive coordinator was guilty of “improper conduct with an underage male.” Sandusky, thought by some to be Joe Paterno’s successor at the time, abruptly and somewhat shockingly retired from coaching in 1999.”

“It actually gets worse. Madden went on to say “When Sandusky quit, everybody knew; not just at Penn State. It was a very poorly kept secret around college football, in general. That is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55, young for a coach.” Madden also called the Second Mile Foundation “the perfect cover” for Sandusky’s scheme.” (emphasis added)

The power structure at Penn State knew in 1998 Sandusky was a liability and in 1999 retired him. No other college or university picked him up even though his football record was solid. Why? Because, as Madden states, “it was a very poorly kept secret around college football, in general” meaning ALL of college football management knew! These men knew Sandusky was a child pedophile which means others outside of team management knew too.

And if they knew he was such a sick puppy NONE OF THEM DID A DAMNED THING TO STOP HIM! Madden went onto state Sandusky was “pimping out young boys [who were low income and at risk youth who sought out the Second Mile Foundation for help] to rich (Penn State) donors!” PIMPING OUT TROUBLED YOUTH TO RICH PENN STATE DONORS? HELLO! The entirety of Penn State’s football program is compromised until this sordid story is finished being told. ALL OF IT!

To even think about subjecting the university’s athletes and student body to the public flogging they are certain to receive only compounds the original violation, that is, the administration at Penn State has in effect replaced Sandusky and they themselves have become the abuser! For what? Money? Good God you people are sick!

And to add to Madden’s “legs” let me remind you what investigative journalist Wayne Madsen wrote back on April 10, 2008 -

WMR has learned that Harrisburg is the center of an investigation of the use of male and female prostitutes, including underage teens, by a number of leading state officials. The probe extends through the State Police to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and into the executive departments of Governor Ed Rendell, including Rendell’s own office.

The investigation by Maryland US Attorney Tom DiBiagio of prostitution rings in the Baltimore Police Department and the administration of Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich also had links to Pennsylvania, according to information received by WMR. Baltimore Police Commissioner and later- Maryland State Police Superintendent Ed Norris was convicted of using police funds to procure prostitutes from the Pamela Martin agency of Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Palfrey went on trial on April 7 in US District Court in Washington, DC. Palfrey’s defense is expected to call Louisiana Republican Senator David Vitter as a witness after he admitted he was a client of the escort service. Palfrey maintains, with a high degree of credibility, that the high-profile and Republican nature of her service’ clients led to her being selectively prosecuted by the Justice Department.

DiBiagio was the first US Attorney fired by George W. Bush’s Justice Department after the November 2004 election. On December 3, 2003, DiBiagio’s Assistant US Attorney, Jonathan Luna, was found in a creek off the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Lancaster, east of Harrisburg, stabbed to death 36 times. Police investigators entertained the theory that Luna stabbed himself with his own pen knife. Luna was reportedly investigating  Ehrlich and GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff for being clients of the Pamela Martin escort agency at the time of his death.

Is all of this connected? Was Sandusky’s pedophilia limited only to him and his sick twisted world OR did it permeate outward to other sicko’s like Penn State donors who got their rocks off raping low income and troubled little boys?

Wherever this miserable saga leads, do not think or believe for a moment the power structure at Penn State was not aware of Sandusky’s demented ways, and that very structure starts at the Board of Trustees and filters down to every coach on Penn State’s team including JoePa. And if the Trustee’s had a scintilla of decency they would immediately suspend their college football program and help re locate the members of the team to other universities.

After all, it’s not the kids fault; no, ALL RESPONSIBILITY RESIDES WITH THE ADULTS, AKA THE MANAGEMENT!

Why Not Join Forces to Put an End to Big Government & Big Corporations/Banks?

Posted by helen - Saturday 10/22/11

by Helen Tansey ©

When surfing the web these last couple of days this post over at Washington’s Blog caught my attention “If the “Occupy” Movement and Tea Party Join Together, We Can End the Malignant Partnership Between Big Government and Big Corporations Which Is Destroying America”

The piece argues that the two movements – the Tea Party and #Occupy Wall Street – find common ground and come together to END Big Government, Too Big To Fail Banks, Corporate Ownership of Washington politico’s, the Fed and Crony Capitalism.

Well, I daresay, if the #OWS movement focused its resources on these key monetary issues ONLY then the likelihood of the REAL Tea Party grassroots movement joining the effort would be greater.

Why? Because all of the other noise emanating out of #Occupy Wall Street like healthcare for all, living wages or the environment only serves to distract folks attention away from the core of America’s challenges, which is how our monetary system is managed behind closed doors with little to no oversight by the monstrously “capped at the knee” federal regulatory system.

You have got to love Obama’s enablers. They have a web site called, “A Place to Get the REALLY Right Answers About Natural Born Citizenship,” accessed at http://birtherthinktank.wordpress.com/a-place-to-get-the-really-right-answers-about-natural-born-citizenship/. Clearly, the title of this web site refers this web site, “Natural Born Citizen – A Place to Ask Questions and Get the Right Answers,” accessed at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/ , which I created in December 2008.

Before I start, I must advise you of two things: first, you will rarely find an Obama enabler who will ever admit that he or she is a lawyer (most of those who admit it have been outed by citizen researchers). The reason for that is that operating under the blanket of anonymity, they get free reign to say whatever they want without any legal or ethical accountability. And they have said some pretty bad things in the past until many of them were outed and so now they are “perfect gentlemen.” Hence, the first thing the owner of this blog tells us that he or she is not a lawyer. Now it may be true that the owner of that blog is not a lawyer. But what about all the other enablers who feed at that blog under the cover of anonymity? So, we do need to ask ourselves whether these so-called “owners” are just straw owners who take on such tasks to provide cover for Obama’s enabler lawyers who operate in the background under the cloaking device of anonymity.

SOROS IS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OVER “OCCUPY AMERICA” MOVEMENT

Posted by helen - Tuesday 10/4/11

Editor’s Note: Back in 2009, we watched the organic movement of the Tea Party infiltrated and taken over by FreedomWorks, the Koch Brothers and Fox. Today, the public associates the Tea Party efforts to the Republican Party even though the majority of self-identified Tea Partiers consider themselves to be Independents. The take over succeeded in diluting and re channeling  these patriots momentum, not b/c they were right or wrong, BUT b/c many of the early supporters no longer wished to give any kind of support to either national party. As an electorate, we’ve grown beyond tired of having to choose b/w two losers, but that is how the establishment works and is a chief reason why a new movement will be born out of “Occupy America”. As we learned from the Republican hijacking of the Tea Party movement, anything that dares to threaten the establishments agenda will be ridiculed, taken over, crushed or simply ignored. Today, it looks like the D’s are swooping in to try and hijack “Occupy America’s” momentum and to refocus the energy to support Obama’s re election campaign agenda. Here’s to hoping they fail, and fail miserably! It’s past time for the people, only the people, to rise up and say enough to the political and financial establishment who are plunging not only America but the world into ruin! To the people of “Occupy America” don’t allow yourselves to be played, because the people of the world have been waiting a long time for American’s to take back our country from the greedy hands of the establishment. They, we, need you to succeed.

Wall Street and London hedge fund tycoon George Soros sent a signal to his minions and infiltrators when he stated that he sympathized with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Soros’s statement dovetailed with David Plouffe, President Obama’s Senior Adviser, making contact with certain newly-minted “leaders” of the “Occupy” movement across the United States to ensure that they are as politically-manipulated by the White House as a vast majority of “Tea Party” members have been manipulated by senior Republican Party officials and the billionaire Koch Brothers.

How Soros and his friends are forestalling popular uprisings by controlling them

From sources inside the non-governmental organization (NGO) community, WMR has been informed that George Soros’s “themed revolution” operations are now on the streets in America. Hoping to steer and influence popular outrage over President Obama’s and the GOP’s bailout of Wall Street billionaires and the steady whittling away of government services, including Social Security, Medicare, and the Postal Service, the Soros-funded “democracy” operations are working hand-in-glove with the CIA-influenced National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its Republican and Democratic subsidiaries, as well as Democratic Party political operatives. Also funding the “democracy” operations is the CIA-funded U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Full Story »

Why did Solyndra declare bankruptcy? h/t WMR

Posted by helen - Wednesday 9/28/11

By Anonymous Americus

By now we’ve heard from practically everyone – experts and layman alike – why Solyndra declared bankruptcy. Everyone, that is, except the management and owners of Solyndra.

Although the company’s executive management was called before Congress to testify about the bankruptcy, they declined to answer any questions, citing their fifth amendment protection against self-incrimination.

Most observers claim it was the fall in silicon prices that made the company’s business model unsustainable. According to the New York Times:

“Solyndra’s unique tube-shaped solar panels — which harvest early morning and evening light for electricity instead of just midday sun — do not rely on silicon. But it assumed its competitors would continue to pay a relatively high price for silicon, allowing Solyndra to charge the premium required to turn a profit on its panels. It was an assumption Obama officials bought into. But industry experts outside the federal government, going back to 2008, were predicting silicon prices were headed for a steep fall.”

[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/23/us/politics/in-rush-to-assist-solyndra-united-states-missed-warning-signs.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&ref=johnmbroder]

However, no-one really knows if this is true or not. What was the sales price of Solyndra’s panels? What did their order book look like? How many long-term supply contracts were signed with European developers, with whom the Solyndra product was so popular? Were buyers also attracted to the energy-harvesting capabilities, portability and ease of installation of Solyndra panels versus silicon PV? Only the privately-held company’s executive management and owners know the answers to those questions, and they are not telling. Full Story »

Corporate Media Establishing ‘Artificial Criteria’ to Keep Primary Contenders Out of Debates

You may think this is a story important only to the voters of Virginia, but think again. This is a heads up to the voters who are paying attention and who are working to make sure their local, state and federal primary elections remain fair amongst all candidates vying for nomination to run in the general.

Here in Virginia, we learned this week that the Virginia Capitol Correspondents Association and Virginia’s Associated Press Managing Editors met to establish what they are calling a primary debate “criteria” that is applicable to all US Senate primary candidates before being invited to participate in their televised sponsored debate. Their modus operandi is obvious, they are purposely establishing an artificial “criteria” which heavily favors the establishments two- party frontrunners, thereby weeding out any and all other contenders.

For days now I’ve been watching videos and reading stories about 911 with the intent to write a blockbuster article about the events of that most traumatic day, or about the loss of our liberties, or about the thousands of young lives lost due to the wars we’ve engaged in since, or about the utter failure of the 911 Commission tasked to truly investigate what really happened, BUT I can’t seem to get beyond my own lack of faith in the American public. Every time I’ve thought up an angle to a storyline, my mind seems to wander to the thought “people won’t get it” so what’s the point. So I think well maybe they’ll get this or want to read about that, but they don’t.

No. For some queer reason American’s seem perfectly content having their realities constructed for them, rather than opening their own glorious minds and building their own beliefs.

From where I sit it seems the majority of the American public is perfectly okay with how this single act drastically altered and continues to reverberate through American life, and the entire world stage for the worse; certainly not for the better. From where I sit the majority of the American public fails to see that by giving their intellectual power away to an inanimate entity serves zero purpose when getting to the bottom of what “factually” happened on that fateful day. Lastly, the majority of the American public, from what I can gauge, appears content being fed what to think by a media establishment who long ago abandoned anything remotely close to journalistic integrity…hell, they even admit it yet the listeners and readers keep going back for more. Talk about Pavlov’s theory in action. Full Story »

Hurricane Irene and Her Mighty Roar in Our Little Neck of the Woods

Posted by helen - Tuesday 8/30/11

Welcome to the neighborhood…

Update: the below story was posted Tuesday and here it is Friday, and still no power. Dominion’s business model is stuck in 20th century mindset. It is time they, and all power companies for all that matters, modernize their entire infrastructure so as to avoid having customers out of power for a week or more at a time. Yes, you’d think losing the revenue might knock some sense into their “stodgy” minds, but apparently not. Maybe we, the customer, need to turn off our power one night a week to send the board a strong message. If enough of us did it… I am seriously embarrassed for Dominion employees…

by Helen Tansey

Day three with no power in my area here in Richmond. Dominion Power issued a release yesterday stating 95% of the City will be back on line by Friday evening. We’re not holding our breath. It was 10 days before power was restored during our last hurricane, Isabelle. Here’s to hoping they break their former record.

In the meantime, the T-Room will be providing intermittent updates plus news headlines and videos until power is restored to our office. We apologize for the disruption to our regular readers, but ask you to hang in there with us, we’ll be back up and fully operational soon.

Meanwhile, here are a few photo’s we took first thing Sunday morning. They provide a teeny glimpse into the destruction Irene brought to our little corner of the world, and when magnified, you can begin to get an idea of the damage done up and down the coast of Virginia. Additionally, we are huge fans of the Outer Banks and thought you’d appreciate seeing aerial photos of the numerous breaches to Route 12, the “life line” to the barrier islands. Full Story »

In An Unsustainable System, A Warning of Collapse An excerpt from Bob Chapman’s weekly publication

Posted by helen - Thursday 8/25/11

August 24, 2011

by Bob Chapman, International Forecaster

The meaning of the social security and medicare cuts, the continuing influence of the Council on foreign Relations, no real Consumer Price Index to go by, Euro zone not fully aware of the problem they have, a massive exposure for them, extended and unpayable debt,

We do not believe that Americans, particularly elderly Americans, understand what the elitists are up to in regard to Social Security and Medicare. The Council on Foreign Relations and the Peterson Foundation has for years been working on plans to terminate Social Security and Medicare. Cuts in these paid for programs were impossible to get through Congress. Thus, the ruse was born of getting around Congress. A flash issue was raised regarding a short-term debt extension that could have been passed in 15 minutes that demanded budget cuts for passage. In that process the Obama Enabling Act was formulated, patterned on the German Enabling Act passed in 1933 by Adolph Hitler. It allows a 12-person panel to bypass Congress regarding legislation. The changes are made in this committee and cannot be debated or amended and must be voted on via a straight up and down majority vote. While this was transpiring, as part of the plot, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the US debt rating based upon there not being large enough cuts in what Congress likes to call entitlements, which are not entitlements, but paid for benefits. The reason for the cuts is that both benefits trusts are broke, all the funds having been spent on other things over the years. S&P said that if major cuts are not made that they would cut the US debt rating again in November. Thus, you can understand the framework and what the elitists have paid the committee and Congress to do. The committee takes all the heat upon passage and Congress generally gets off the hook.

The Wall Street Pentagon Papers: Biggest Scam In World History Exposed – Are The Federal Reserve’s Crimes Too Big To Comprehend?

Posted by helen - Wednesday 8/24/11

August 23, 2011

by David DeGraw, AmpedStatus

What if the greatest scam ever perpetrated was blatantly exposed, and the US media didn’t cover it? Does that mean the scam could keep going? That’s what we are about to find out.

I understand the importance of the new WikiLeaks documents. However, we must not let them distract us from the new information the Federal Reserve was forced to release. Even if WikiLeaks reveals documents from inside a large American bank, as huge as that could be, it will most likely pale in comparison to what we just found out from the one-time peek we got into the inner-workings of the Federal Reserve. This is the Wall Street equivalent of the Pentagon Papers.

I’ve written many reports detailing the crimes of Wall Street during this crisis. The level of fraud, from top to bottom, has been staggering. The lack of accountability and the complete disregard for the rule of law have made me and many of my colleagues extremely cynical and jaded when it comes to new evidence to pile on top of the mountain that we have already gathered. But we must not let our cynicism cloud our vision on the details within this new information. Full Story »

Are you feeling friendly? Perhaps you’d like to meet Holly Weber, below, or others like her through their Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter accounts.

Or maybe recent news has prompted you to get active in politics — or even to protest in some way?

Demonstrations outside the White Holly WeberHouse this weekend in Washington, DC prompted mass jailings of environmentalists who oppose President Obama’s approval of a trans-continental pipeline they fear as a threat to clean water. Even larger mass protests against Democrats and Republicans are shaping up this fall in the city because of opposition to the major parties on such issues as jobs, Social Security and Medicare, war spending, taxes and civil liberties.

Phoenix Capital – Don’t Be Fooled, The German Backstop Ends Soon

According to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, he and Angela Merkel share an “absolute determination” to defend the Euro. I find that hard to believe as:

§ 86% of Germans think the Euro is at risk.

§ 71% of Germans are doubtful about the common currency.

§ 56% of Germans say the Euro has brought them economic disadvantages.

The European bailouts were always ultimately about Germany. Without German support, you have no bail out and no EU either.

So with that in mind, we need to consider that Angela Merkel’s party was absolutely destroyed in the German March 2011 elections, largely because she had been pro-bailouts and pro-the Euro. She’s not out of the woods yet either.

Georgia’s ‘Pitchfork Rally’ – Kick-off Event to Pass the “Presidential Eligibility Assurance Act”

Posted by helen - Tuesday 8/9/11

by Helen Tansey

Fourteen states, with Republican’s leading the charge, introduced legislation between 2010 and 2011 that went to the heart of voters growing realization that an ineligible candidate and his Party apparatus hoodwinked Secretary’s of State Board of Elections by placing said ineligible candidate on their state ballots who the majority of voters then elected to the most powerful position in the world, the United States Presidency.  These 14 states include: Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania (Sept 2011), Tennessee and Texas.

Obviously, as demonstrated by the actions of these Republican state legislators and one Democratic Governor, they share in the over 50 + 1 of voters growing concerns about their state’s utter lack of control over who gains access to their respective state ballots, and by extension their voters and electoral college members, concerning the Presidential/Vice Presidential elections.

Full Text of S & P’s Downgrade of America’s AAA rating to AA+ – Outlook Negative

Posted by helen - Friday 8/5/11

See updates below X1

United States of America Long-Term Rating Lowered To ‘AA+’ On Political Risks And Rising Debt Burden; Outlook Negative

We have lowered our long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to ‘AA+’ from ‘AAA’ and affirmed the ‘A-1+’ short-term rating.

We have also removed both the short- and long-term ratings from CreditWatch negative.

The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics.

More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.

Since then, we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government’s debt dynamics any time soon.

The outlook on the long-term rating is negative. We could lower the long-term rating to ‘AA’ within the next two years if we see that less reduction in spending than agreed to, higher interest rates, or new fiscal pressures during the period result in a higher general government debt trajectory than we currently assume in our base case.

“Many Americans Believe That The 2008-2009 Downturn Never Ended”. They’re Right

Posted by helen - Tuesday 8/2/11

Washington’s Blog

Msnbc notes:

Many Americans believe that the 2008-2009 downturn never ended.

***

The U.S. has entered a second recession. [Note: That this would happen has been obvious to anyone paying attention. See this and this.] It may not be as bad as the first. Economists say that the Great Recession began in December 2007 and lasted until July 2009. That may be the way that the economy was seen through the eyes of experts, but many Americans do not believe that the 2008-2009 downturn ever ended. A Gallup poll released in April found that 29 percent of those queried thought the economy was in a “depression” and 26 percent said that the original recession had persisted into 2011.

(Indeed, more Americans believe the U.S. is in a depression than believe that the economy is growing). Full Story »

With the world concerned about US financial credibility and the poor outlook for the US economy, now is not the time for the Republicans to grandstand on the public debt. The debt ceiling needed to be quietly raised. Instead, the Republicans started a fire and then threw gasoline on it, creating an inferno that could burn up the US social safety net or the US Treasury’s credit rating and the US dollar’s role as reserve currency or what remains of the separation of powers.

Consequently, world financial markets, currency markets, commodity markets, central banks, and mutual fund money market and bond funds are on pins and needles.

In 1984, while Obama was working as an editor at BIC in Manhattan, CIA deputy director for intelligence Robert Gates, who Obama retained as his Secretary of Defense from the Bush administration, renamed the CIA’s Political Psychology Division the Political Psychology Center (PPC) and transferred the group from the Office of Global Issues (OGI) to the Office of Scientific and Weapons Research (OSWR).

Barack Obama’s employment as an editor for CIA front Business International Corporation (BIC) after his graduation from Columbia University in 1983, came at a time when such small business and political risk consulting firms were mushrooming and their ranks growing with retired senior CIA personnel. The expansion of BIC and similar firms in the early 1980s also came at a time when major corporations were phasing out their internal risk departments and relying more on companies like BIC.

However, Obama’s contacts with the CIA came earlier than his work for BIC. Obama’s attendance at Occidental College in Los Angeles from 1979 to 1981 is significant considering the college’s close ties with the CIA. Occidental’s President, Richard C. Gilman, who retired in 1988, was a habitué of Los Angeles’s version of New York’s Council on Foreign Relations, the Los Angeles World Affairs Council (WAC). As a director of the WAC, Gilman rubbed shoulders with fellow WAC directors John McCone, a former CIA director; Simon Ramo, chairman of top CIA contractor TRW, Inc.; and the wealthy oil magnate Armand Hammer, chairman of Occidental Petroleum, himself no stranger to intelligence-oriented intrigue.

Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro doing Field Work in Indonesia

August 16, 2010

by Wayne Madsen

In Part I of this WMR special report, we revealed the connections between Barack Obama, Sr. and the CIA-affiliated Airlift Africa project to provide college degrees to and gain influence over a group of 280 eastern and southern African students from soon-to-be independent African nations to counter similar programs established by the Soviet Union and China. Barack Obama Sr. was the first African student to attend the University of Hawaii. Obama Sr. and Obama’s mother Stanley Ann Dunham met in a Russian language class in 1959 and they married in 1961.

The African airlift program was administered by Kenyan nationalist leader Tom Mboya, a fellow Luo tribe mentor and friend of the senior Obama. According to CIA documents described in Part I, Mboya also served the CIA in ensuring that pro-Soviet and pro-Chinese African nationalists were stymied in their attempt to dominate pan-African nationalist political, student, and labor movements.

One of Mboya’s chief opponents was Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, who was ousted in a CIA-inspired coup in 1966, one year before to Obama Sr’s son, Barack Obama, Jr. and his mother joined Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian who Obama’s mother met at the University of Hawaii in 1965, when President Obama was four years old.

Posted by helen - Wednesday 7/6/11

Editor’s Note: The T-Room has gained permission from Wayne Madsen Reports to post his groundbreaking four-part series “The Story of Obama: All in the Company” which originally ran in August 2010. The T-Room has published recent investigative reports by Wayne Madsen where he investigates additional emerging details on Barry ‘Barack’ Hussein Obama Soetoro, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, Madelyn Payne Dunham and Stanley Armour Dunham covering in detail the double lives they lead, which can be found at the end of this report. The first Obama – Dunham – Soetoro family member this series covers is Barack Obama Sr. We will be posting Part II in the coming days. The T-Room wishes to thank Mr. Madsen for his work and for granting us the permission to re post this series in full.

WMR has discovered CIA files that document the agency’s connections to institutions and individuals figuring prominently in the lives of Barack Obama and his mother, father, grandmother, and stepfather.

President Obama’s own work in 1983 for Business International Corporation, a CIA front that conducted seminars with the world’s most powerful leaders and used journalists as agents abroad, dovetails with CIA espionage activities conducted by his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham in 1960s post-coup Indonesia on behalf of a number of CIA front operations, including the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Ford Foundation. Dunham met and married Lolo Soetoro, Obama’s stepfather, at the East-West Center in 1965. Soetoro was recalled to Indonesia in 1965 to serve as a senior army officer and assist General Suharto and the CIA in the bloody overthrow of President Sukarno. Full Story »

IS AMERICA TRULY FREE AND INDEPENDENT?

Posted by helen - Monday 7/4/11

Today is the 4th of July. A day American’s reflect on our nations independence from Britain, a monarchical form of government for which America’s Founding Father’s broke free. Yet, when one reflects over the last decade, and if so adventurous over the last 50+ years, one can rightly question whether our country’s course has been incrementally being redirected back toward such a tyrannical form of government.

Below are essays circulating alternative news media today which discusses, argues and/or debates America’s independence and our constitutional form of government. Bother yourself to read current thinking and when you’re done, ask yourself what you have done lately to continue to ensure your country, the United States of America, remains an independent, free and sovereign nation.

Let’s begin by listening to Red Skelton’s Pledge of Allegiance lesson, a long-time favorite of the T-Rooms –

Celebrating American Independence

Two-hundred and thirty-five years after our first Declaration of Independence, true Americans in 2011 celebrate the preciousness of liberty with clarity and vision. Sobering questions about our future as a Republic, and our role as citizens in protecting our liberty permeate the air and each breath as the sights, sounds, and smell of celebration surround the senses.

In 2011, it is a time of reaffirmation, of spiritual awakening, of moral renewal…a realization that suddenly we are standing in the shoes of our Founders. The case for American redress having failed, it was then, and it is time now, for declaring a second wave of American independence. Full Story »

It Is Time for a Birther Summit

Posted by helen - Friday 7/1/11

- Dean C. Haskins Thursday, June 30, 2011

Today, I sent a letter to South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham via gradegov.com.  My reason for choosing Graham is apparent in the letter itself.  Also, I chose gradegov.com because there is speculation that the members of Congress actually read what is posted there, unlike their regular emails, which are invariably intercepted by staffers, who respond with nothing more than form letters.  In this letter, I formally request that Senator Graham host a nationally necessary “Birther Summit.”

Here is my letter:

May 30, 2011
To: Senator Lindsey O. Graham
From: Dean C. Haskins

Dear Senator Graham:

You don’t know me, but I believe you knew my late brother, Terry.  Until his tragic death in 2000, Terry served the good people of South Carolina as Speaker Pro Tem of their State House.  In deference to, and respect of, his memory, I pray that you will read—and consider—what I have to say, instead of immediately relegating this plea to what you probably refer to as your “Birther Bin” (what the rest of us call “the trash”).

BREAKING: ALIPAC CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Posted by helen - Wednesday 6/29/11

June 28, 2011

For National Release

Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)
(866) 703-0864 / Press@alipac.us

The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama for his involvement in the Operation Gunrunner scandal, as well as his recent edict instructing federal employees to establish a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in defiance of the Congress, existing federal laws, and the US Constitution.

Obama’s ICE Director John Morton issued a memo on June 17th to all ICE Field Office Directors, Special Agents-in-Charge, and all Chief Counsel, authorizing them to decline to remove illegal aliens who meet the qualifications for amnesty under the DREAM Act Amnesty which Congress has rejected many times.

Congressional investigations have determined that Obama’s ATF and Justice Department have been supplying assault weapons to the drug cartels that import most of America’s cocaine, methamphetamine, and illegal immigrants. Full Story »

Found: Congressman Who Has Read More than Maskell’s Memo! h/t Canada Free Press

Posted by helen - Friday 6/24/11

June 23, 2011

By Dean Haskins

The ongoing saga of the communications with my Virginia elected officials continues (see: here , here , and here ).  Today, I received a somewhat surprising email response from U.S. Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) in which he appears to know more about the issues than has been indicated by the letters written by his cohorts.

Dear Mr. Haskins:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent release of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. It is good to hear from you.

As you know, the Constitution establishes the qualifications of President of the United States.  Only a natural born citizen, at least 35 years of age, and having resided in the United States for at least 14 years is eligible for the Office of President.

A President-elect’s eligibility has traditionally been verified by public record and vetting done by the parties.  It is crucial that any President-elect meet the eligibility criteria as determined by the U.S. Constitution and provide the necessary assurances of eligibility.

Currently, there is no office or agency that certifies a President-elect’s eligibility for the office.  However, I believe that there should be a more formal process of review and validation as a matter of routine certification of candidates.  The Office of the Presidency is undermined if Americans don’t have confidence that the candidates for the highest office in the land are qualified for the position as required by the Constitution.

Central bankers don’t want us to know what happened during 2008 bailouts


June 22, 2011

By Rep. Ron Paul – The Washington Times

Among the facts that the Federal Reserve would rather you didn’t know is that at the height of the financial turmoil in 2008, when average Americans were just beginning to suffer, the institution was passing out sweetheart deals to protect the powerful and well-connected. Among the beneficiaries were foreign banks, Wall Street giants and even the company that then owned MSNBC.

Recently, my House subcommittee on domestic monetary policy held a hearing to examine information disclosed by the Federal Reserve about its bailout lending during the 2008 financial crisis – disclosure that was required by the Dodd-Frank Act and the Freedom of Information Act. Full Story »

CONSPIRACY THEORY

Posted by helen - Monday 6/20/11

June 20, 2011

by Paul Craig Roberts

While we were not watching, conspiracy theory has undergone Orwellian redefinition.

A “conspiracy theory” no longer means an event explained by a conspiracy. Instead, it now means any explanation, or even a fact, that is out of step with the government’s explanation and that of its media pimps. (emphasis added)

For example, online news broadcasts of RT have been equated with conspiracy theories by the New York Times simply because RT reports news and opinions that the New York Times does not report and the US government does not endorse.

In other words, as truth becomes uncomfortable for government and its Ministry of Propaganda, truth is redefined as conspiracy theory, by which is meant an absurd and laughable explanation that we should ignore. Full Story »

What is really happening in Libya? Why is NATO bombing Tripoli, a dense population of Libyans?

Posted by helen - Friday 6/10/11

Editor’s note: Investigative journalist, Wayne Madsen, of Wayne Madsen Reports, is in Libya covering the NATO invasion. WMR subscribers have been able to learn firsthand what is really happening on the ground in and around Tripoli over the last ten days. With Madsen’s permission, the T-Room is posting his reports as a “Reporter’s Diary”. You haven’t seen this side of the story anywhere in the corporate run media. Note, we are starting this “Reporter’s Diary” with Madsen’s most recent post which details the latest geopolitical economic perspective of which Libya is obviously included, to recent NATO bombing of the Libyan Anti-Corruption Agency where NATO powers believed documents detailing billions in Libyan assets would disappear if bombed, but not so fast, all files were saved and are now safely out of harms reach, to the facts on the ground about the bombing of Qaddafi’s son’s home to the refugee challenges facing border areas.

Libya: A Reporter’s War Diary


Posted June 1, 2011 – Note to members: A rather hurried trip arose for the editor to travel to Tripoli to witness first-hand the NATO bombing campaign being conducted against Libya. WMR will make every attempt to report from the besieged Libyan capital and the from the highway corridor from the Tunisian border to Tripoli and on the return trip from Tripoli to Tunisia. Internet connectivity may be spotty or be non-existent in Libya, especially if NATO steps up attacks on Libya’s critical infrastructures of power generation and distribution and telecommunications. WMR will either file reports from Libya or from Tunisia during the return trip back to the States next week.

June 20, 2011 — The blackmail used to inch Germany into the Libya campaign

For decades, the CIA has been in possession of documents proving that Libya’s chemical weapons program benefitted from the assistance of West German firms. Germany abstained on UN Security Council Resolution 1973, which authorized “any means” necessary to prevent the death of civilians in Libya’s civil war, which the U.S. and NATO quickly adopted as a green light for regime change in Libya through the assassination of its leader Muammar Qaddafi.

To counter German resistance to UN and NATO action against Libya, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was told by President Obama that she and her country would be embarrassed if some of the details of Germany’s involvement in Libya’s nerve and mustard gas weapons program were “leaked” to the media. WMR learned in Libya that the blackmail of Germany by the U.S. and NATO worked and that Germany decided to step up its role in the Libyan war effort, although not to the extent desired by Washington, London, or Paris. In fact, the Germans want nothing reported about the continued presence in Libya of chemical weapons stocks turned over by Libya to the UN and U.S. but still await disposal. Libyan troops were placed in charge of the security for the chemical weapons stocks after Libya’s 2003 agreement with the U.S. and UN to turn over its stockpiles. However, since NATO began bombing Libyan military bases, some of which are adjacent to the chemical weapons warehouses, there is a fear that the weapons could fall into the hands of Libyan rebels, some of whom are “Al Qaeda” and “mujaheddin” veterans of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Germany fears that its role in providing the chemical weapons technology to Libya might be revealed if the rebels gain control of the warehouses. Full Story »

Update: “IT’S THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, STUPID!” w/Susan Daniels

Posted by helen - Monday 6/6/11

June 6, 2011

by Helen Tansey

Back on April 13, 2011, the T-Room predicted that President Obama would soon post a scanned version of what his inner circle would designate as his “Official” long-form birth certificate -

“More importantly, you can’t change a SSN record, but you can certainly create a long-form birth certificate just in time for the 2012 elections. Which is what many are anticipating, and now with Donald Trump entering the fray you can count on such a document entering into the public arena and soon. After all, anyone who has studied this issue knows the Obama camps next step is to embarrass the “birthers” by producing a long-form birth certificate. That would be checkmate wouldn’t it? Of course, it will be a scanned copy just like the COLB, because it will never hold up under the scrutiny of an independent forensic review team of experts, that is someone other than his former employer, the Annenberg’s,  so get ready for a repeat of a similar ruse coming to a computer screen near you.”

Viola! On the morning of April 27 the Prez posted a digitized “scanned” image captivating the public’s imagination, yet again. Although we were spot on in making our prediction, we take no pride in having to make it at all, and we were certainly not the only ones doing so. More unnerving about this farcical theater is how sad it all is. It took this man two and a half years, millions of dollars and a countless number of lawsuits later,  including the Court Martial of Lt. Col Lakin and trumped up charges of Lt. Commander Fitzpatrick, to post a  “picture” that was immediately found to be a really crappy forgery. Full Story »

The Emperor: An entourage more royal than the Queen’s

Posted by helen - Saturday 6/4/11

The "Beast"

You won’t see this article reported anywhere in the US lamestream mainstream media, so thought the good, decent and hardworking people of America needed to see how their President is spending an unseemly amount of your money while attending the G20 summit this week.

From an editorial written by Dale McFeatters of Scripps Howard News Service -

“The heads of government in London for the G-20 summit are discussing serious and weighty issues, which in time will be duly reported on, but right now the British press is entranced by the sheer size of President Obama’s traveling entourage. And no wonder.Obama arrived with 500 staff in tow, including 200 Secret Service agents, a team of six doctors, the White House chef and kitchen staff with the president’s own food and water.”

And, according to the Evening Standard, he also came with “35 vehicles in all, four speech writers and 12 teleprompters.” For sure, our president is not going to be at a loss for words.

The press duly reported on Air Force One and all its bells and whistles but also on the presence of the presidential helicopter, Marine One, and a fleet of identical decoys to ferry him from Stansted airport to central London.

Among all those vehicles is the presidential limousine, which one local paper mistakenly called Cadillac One, but is universally referred to as the Beast. The limo, reinforced with ceramic and titanium armor, carries tear gas cannon, night vision devices, its own oxygen and is resistant to chemical and radiation attack. It is, marveled one reporter, a sort of mobile panic room. The Guardian called it “the ultimate in heavily armored transport.”

The president is entitled to all the security, communications and support he feels necessary to do his job but surely, when we’re trying to project a more restrained, humble image to the world, the president’s huge retinue could be scaled back to something less than the triumphal march from “Aida.”

(Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service, http://www.scrippsnews.com)

What in the hell does any man, let alone the President need 500 staffers, a team of six doctors, 200 Secret Service agents, 35 vehicles, four speechwriters, 12 teleprompters, Presidential helicopter, Marine One, decoy vehicles, a chef, the entire kitchen staff and the Beast to attend a meeting with his New World Order pals?

What are the American people who are unemployed or under employed or barely scraping by to think when they learn their President lavished himself with such a massive entourage and with their money?

This man is a complete embarrassment! He has to go!

 

The Federal Reserve Cartel: The Eight Families

Posted by helen - Thursday 6/2/11

by Dean Henderson

June 1, 2011

(Part one of a four-part series)

The Four Horsemen of Banking (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo) own the Four Horsemen of Oil (Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP and Chevron Texaco); in tandem with Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays and other European old money behemoths. But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch.

According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation.[1]

So who then are the stockholders in these money center banks?

This information is guarded much more closely. My queries to bank regulatory agencies regarding stock ownership in the top 25 US bank holding companies were given Freedom of Information Act status, before being denied on “national security” grounds. This is rather ironic, since many of the bank’s stockholders reside in Europe.

One important repository for the wealth of the global oligarchy that owns these bank holding companies is US Trust Corporation – founded in 1853 and now owned by Bank of America. A recent US Trust Corporate Director and Honorary Trustee was Walter Rothschild. Other directors included Daniel Davison of JP Morgan Chase, Richard Tucker of Exxon Mobil, Daniel Roberts of Citigroup and Marshall Schwartz of Morgan Stanley. [2]

J. W. McCallister, an oil industry insider with House of Saud connections, wrote in The Grim Reaper that information he acquired from Saudi bankers cited 80% ownership of the New York Federal Reserve Bank- by far the most powerful Fed branch- by just eight families, four of which reside in the US. They are the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Rothschilds of Paris and London; the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome.

The Patriot Act: When Truth Becomes Treason – h/t WMR

Posted by helen - Tuesday 5/24/11

By Susan Lindauer, former Asset covering Iraq & Libya and the second non-Arab American indicted on the Patriot Act

Many Americans think they understand the dangers of the Patriot Act, which Congress has vowed to extend 4 more years in a vote later this week. Trust me when I say, Americans are not nearly frightened enough.Ever wonder why the truth about 9/11 never got exposed? Why Americans don’t have a clue about leadership fraud surrounding the War on Terror? Why Americans don’t know if the 9/11 investigation was really successful? Why the Iraqi Peace Option draws a blank? Somebody has known the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden — or his grave—for the past 10 years. But nobody’s talking to the people.

In significant part, that’s because of the Patriot Act — a law that equates free speech with sedition. It’s got a big agenda, with 7,000 pages of Machiavellian code designed to interrupt individual questioning of government policy. In this brave new world, free speech under the Bill of Rights effectively has been declared a threat to government controls for maintaining stability. And the Patriot Act has become the premiere weapon to attack whistle blowers and dissidents who challenge the comfort of political leaders hiding inconvenient truths from the public. It’s all the rage on Capitol Hill, as leaders strive to score TV ratings, while demogauging their “outstanding leadership performance” on everything from national security to environmental policy.

Trifecta! Betrayal, Blacklisting & Bankruptcy – GO TEAM OBAMA!!!

Posted by helen - Thursday 5/19/11

Editor’s Note – The following three columns and interviews are stunning and stand alone as voices from the left speaking their truth about Obama and his administration. Each speaks volumes starting with Obama’s personal betrayal of Dr. Cornel West and what light he now see’s Obama in; next the  administrations chilling any negative coverage whatsoever of Obama and its affect on long time critic of all things political, Ted Rall, who has effectively been blacklisted by leftie news; and, finally what is becoming a weekly date w/Dr. Steve Pieczenik & Alex Jones who covers an array of national and geo political issues all related back to the Obama administration and its unwillingness to issue arrest warrants for the banksters – America’s greatest national security threat. The common thread that ties all three of these pieces together is the ever growing mantra – Country BEFORE Party! Enjoy.

The Obama Deception: Why Cornel West Went Ballistic

Posted on May 16, 2011

By Chris Hedges

The moral philosopher Cornel West, if Barack Obama’s ascent to power was a morality play, would be the voice of conscience. Rahm Emanuel, a cynical product of the Chicago political machine, would be Satan. Emanuel in the first scene of the play would dangle power, privilege, fame and money before Obama. West would warn Obama that the quality of a life is defined by its moral commitment, that his legacy will be determined by his willingness to defy the cruel assault by the corporate state and the financial elite against the poor and working men and women, and that justice must never be sacrificed on the altar of power.

Perhaps there was never much of a struggle in Obama’s heart. Perhaps West only provided a moral veneer. Perhaps the dark heart of Emanuel was always the dark heart of Obama. Only Obama knows. But we know how the play ends. West is banished like honest Kent in “King Lear.” Emanuel and immoral mediocrities from Lawrence Summers to Timothy Geithner to Robert Gates—think of Goneril and Regan in the Shakespearean tragedy—take power. We lose. And Obama becomes an obedient servant of the corporate elite in exchange for the hollow trappings of authority. Full Story »

“ONE MAN WITH COURAGE IS A MAJORITY” Thomas Jefferson

Posted by helen - Tuesday 5/17/11

by Helen Tansey

Lt. Col. Lakin is one such man, that is a man with courage. This gentle man did what no other currently serving officer or enlisted man or woman has done to date, that is, he stood alone before God and Country honorably fulfilling his sworn Oath -

“I, (state your name), having been appointed a (rank) in the United States (branch of service), do solemnly swear (or affirm) thatI will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

The Lt. Colonel stood his ground by defying an order handed down by the US Commander In Chief, Barack H. Obama. He defied this order on the grounds that the CIC is serving in direct violation of Article II of the United States Constitution. Rather than the CIC providing records to substantiate his non violation, he chose to make an example of Lt. Colonel Lakin by employing a full military court martial. Full Story »

“Wag the Dog” is a training film for the Obama White House by Wayne Madsen

Posted by helen - Wednesday 5/11/11

(Editor’s Note: Now that the “Osama Bin Laden” spin out of DC has lost its steam it’s the right time to report on the real facts of the operation including how all those kids with crisp American flags found their way to Lafayette Park at 10 pmish on the evening of Obama’s assassination of OBL announcement. In WMR’s report below you will learn of the many inconsistencies in the WH spin and the possible  target for the next staged false flag operation.)

Wayne Madsen Report

by Wayne Madsen

President Obama anxiously kept the media and the world waiting on the evening of May 1 for what later turned out to be his announcement that he ordered a US Navy SEAL team to attack the compound of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Obama claimed that the SEALs had shot and killed Bin Laden in a firefight.

The reason for the delay of Obama’s announcement, according to WMR’s sources, had nothing to do with national security but to alert Obama’s student supporters at George Washington and Howard universities in Washington, DC to marshal a group of Obama fans to gather at Lafayette Park in front of the White House in a “flash mob” to stage a pep rally for Obama after his announcement. The “Wag the Dog”-inspired demonstration was planned by Obama’s political adviser David Plouffe.

MS-NBC’s dutiful bleating Obama sycophant, Rachel Maddow, showed a flash mob gathered in Lafayette Park shouting “USA! USA!” while she proceeded to lambast Pakistan for providing sanctuary to Bin Laden and other top Al Qaeda leaders. Of course, Maddow, was merely parroting the new neocon line that Pakistan must be the next nation to be rendered like a kosher chicken in the Maddow kitchen.

Plouffe, of course, arranged for brand new American flags to be distributed to the college students for the widely-televised “impromptu” demonstration. The new, just unfolded American flags appeared faster than the new Libyan royalist flags showed up in Benghazi, Libya after the uprising against Muammar Qaddafi. Full Story »

Posted by helen - Wednesday 5/4/11

Update x1 – Dr. Pieczenik was on Alex’s show again yesterday, May 4 3, 2011.  Videos of the interview are below. Let’s hope more Dr. Pieczenik’s come out and stand by their country rather than the corrupt political apparatchik. Something tells me the American’s are ready to stand with the elite who dare to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Update x2 – Dr. Pieczenik returned to Alex’s show yesterday, May 4, 2011 with Paul Joseph Watson and this time he made it abundantly clear that he and others are watching and know who is who in the White House. Messing with the American public through an expanding TSA and restricting our liberties will bring about a second American Revolution.

Bush off/Obama on - Two Peas in a Pod

Yesterday, May 3, 2011, Alex Jones, Infowars, interviewed Dr. Steve Pieczenik (see bio below) for two hours during his daily broadcast. Dr. Pieczenik reiterated the facts on the ground then, back in 2002, that Osama Bin Laden suffered from Marfan’s Syndrome and was in renal failure in 2001. The US CIA paid for Bin Laden’s treatment at a hospital in Dubai who shortly thereafter died by Special Forces. Dr. Pieczenik reported to Alex in 2002 that Osama’s body was then frozen only to be trotted out when it would be most useful to whomever was serving as President at the time.

Many who were more than aware of these facts were stunned to see President Obama and his White House staff use this sick ploy on Sunday night, which was intentionally orchestrated as a decoy. Yes. A decoy. The psyop operation you have witnessed in “real time” during the last 72 hours is deliberate.

The administration is growing desperate, therefore they must keep your attention distracted from the real issues like no Banker or Wall Street criminal being indicted, they don’t want you to pay attention to rising unemployment, rising food prices, rising gasoline prices, the fraudulent birth certificate Part Deux, Obama’s tanking poll numbers, Congresses tanking poll numbers and more. The people are finally catching onto their malicious UNAMERICAN games and more importantly, they are sick to death of them!

They want their country back! That’s right, the PEOPLE! Not Republican! Not Democratic! Not Whatever! But the People.

You don’t believe me? Well then listen to this interview and then come back and tell me how wrong I am, and how wrong millions of your neighbors, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, moms, dads and co-workers are. I’ll be waiting…

Now we learn the New York Times is doing some inoculation of their own to purposely muddy the waters, and may in fact be rewriting history regarding Obama’s lifelong roots in the CIA and the rest of his families -- Stanley Dunham, Madelyn Payne Dunham (Toots), Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., Lolo Soetoro (Sutaro).

One Year Later the Largest Man-made Environmental Disaster in American History Continues to Wreak Havoc

Letter to the Ruling Class

You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!

We do this because Wayne’s work is informed by a career of learning how the US intelligence apparatus operates, because he worked in it, and because he is the only investigative journalist actually doing the job of informing the public who Barack Hussein Obama and his family truly are. His reward, having his life threatened.

Ask yourself if you ever recall a time when an American journalist’s life was threatened by his/our federal government for simply informing the people who their President is? Seriously, do you recall such circumstances?

During the 2008 campaign everyone seemed to be asking the same question – who is this guy named Obama? Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greenies, Independents…EVERYONE!

We hoped to learn who this man was, what drove him, what his values and morals were, his education, his past leadership positions and so much more, but to our astonishment, the vehicle who used to vet Presidential nominees, were having tingly sensations down their legs, hyper ventilating when Obama was nearby, girlhood like crushes and handing off other ridiculous, juvenile and pathetic dribble they called journalism.

IT’S THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER STUPID!

Stanley Ann Dunham's SS Card

See update X1 about Ludwig SSN at the end of the post.

By Helen Tansey

The Obama nativity scavenger hunt continues to capture the attention of many citizens here in the US, as well as abroad, but what is flying under the radar, and cannot be disputed, is Obama’s use of a Social Security Number (SSN) issued in the spring of 1977 with it first appearing on his Selective Service Registration of which he applied on September 4, 1980. There are serious problems with this SSN with the first being it appears to have been originally assigned to another individual born in 1890, and secondly, when verified using several Social Security Administration verifying databases it is rejected as “NOT FOUND IN THE SOCIAL SECURITY INDEX” and finally it is a Connecticut issued SSN; a state in which Obama was not living in at the age of 15.  This SSN has been tied to Obama’s State Senate and US Senate offices and his private residents, as well as land line phone numbers since coming stateside to attend Occidental College in California.

Now that Donald Trump has crowned himself a “birther” he too is making it abundantly clear to any and all who will dare listen that the digital Certification of Live Birth (COLB) is meaningless, because it is and always has been, but he needs to widen his scope of interest to include the oddities permeating around the President’s Social Security Number. For nearly two years now, the SSN peculiarities have percolated just below the dubious Certification of Live Birth, and it it has yet to bubble up to the top as being more significant in undoing the fabricated tale Bill Ayers wove together in Obama’s two autobiographies. More importantly, you can’t change a SSN record, but you can certainly create a long-form birth certificate just in time for the 2012 elections. Which is what many are anticipating, and now with Donald Trump entering the fray you can count on such a document entering into the public arena and soon. Afterall, anyone who has studied this issue knows the Obama camps next step is to embarass the “birthers” by producing a long-form birth certificate. That would be checkmate wouldn’t it? Of course, it will be a scanned copy just like the COLB, because it will never hold up under the scrutiny of an independent forensic review team of experts, that is someone other than his former employer, the Annenberg’s,  so get ready for a repeat of a similar ruse coming to a computer screen near you.

There is good news though, and that is, thanks to the tenaciousness of many professional and amateur investigators, who appear to be working independently of one another, have created a hard trail of solid evidence that cannot be undone. As a matter of record, these investigators have only just begun their work; especially into the many different addresses that are associated with Obama’s SSN.

One of these tenacious investigators, Susan Daniels, recently granted the T-Room an exclusive interview which can be heard in full by clicking “Full Story” below. Full Story »

Donald Trump

April 7, 2011

 

Why on earth is the establishment media trying to keep Trump, hell, a growing majority of American’s, from resolving the simplest and most basic of questions ever asked of anyone? What is going on here?

The simple question – IS the President eligible, NOT likable, BUT eligible to serve as the Commander in Chief as established by OUR United States Constitution?

It appears these “supposed” journalists are doing all they can to keep Trump from exploring this issue. It seems as though they are doing their best to steer him away from the entire topic. Why? Have you ever seen any journalist EVER behave in this manner? Have you? I sure haven’t.

These peeps want you to believe they vetted Obama. They want you to believe them no matter what. Well, your choice but answer these questions for me before you arrive at a decision. Full Story »

Investigative Journalist Wayne Madsen “Under Threat…they want to kill you.”

Posted by helen - Monday 4/4/11

Editor’s note: Wayne Madsen is an investigative journalist who has covered political happenings inside the Beltway for decades. His work is superior and his sources are global. He is owned by no one and is therefore free from corporate constraints to report the facts as told to him. Wayne and his investigative work is a rarity these days b/c corporate media cut investigative journalism budgets long ago. You know when you are reading a Wayne Madsen Report that it is the unvarnished truth, and obviously, reporting said truths, especially related to the empire’s CIC who has gone to great lengths to hide all there is to know about him, is threatening. Well, here’s a big clue – stop hiding who and what you truly are, Mr. President! Give American’s some credit – they may actually like the hidden Obama more than the pretend one seen in plain view everyday! And tell your lackey’s to back off because WE THE PEOPLE will be watching…closely.

April 4, 2011 — White House threats must be taken seriously

In yet another indication that America’s democratic experiment is a thing of the past, this editor has received word from a source in a foreign intelligence agency allied with the United States that there has been talk by some within the Obama White House that this editor is under threat. What particular stories have inflamed the White House are not known but the warning conveyed by the source, who has connections within the White House, was stark in its directness: “They want to kill you.”

It was perfectly clear that the phrase was not being used as a figure of speech.

That this development is being reported on April 4 is even more ironic. On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Kr. was assassinated in Memphis during his mission to support striking sanitation workers in the city. Now, we have our first African-American president and a threat to kill a journalist who is most definitely not one of their favorites has been seriously discussed. Full Story »

March 28-29, 2011 – SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE REPORT. Obama’s mother began her Indonesian field work at height of complaints about CIA involvement with foreign “research”

Posted by helen - Wednesday 3/30/11

By Wayne Madsen

Ann Dunham and colleagues, Bank Rakyat Indonesia. 1989.

In a continuation of WMR’s investigation of the CIA backgrounds of President Obama and his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, we have obtained a copy of an important report written by University of California-Los Angeles anthropology professor Dr. Ralph Beals for the Officers and Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and delivered to the annual meeting of the AAA on November 17, 1966 in Pittsburgh.

Beals’ significant report remains relatively obscure to those outside the field of applied anthropology but what it detailed is a critical indictment of the CIA and Defense Department in co-opting young and inexperienced field anthropologists like Dunham Soetoro to conduct “data mining” for CIA and Pentagon  covert “counter-insurgency” operations. Dunham Soetoro’s receipt of funding from the Ford Foundation is a troubling aspect of President Obama’s upbringing. Far from being raised by a leftist “flower child” of the 1960s who for a time reportedly lived on food stamps, young Barack Obama was raised in a family that was never without need or want but benefited from a CIA-funded regime that permitted anthropologists like Dunham Soetoro to collect large tax-free salaries abroad while conducting dubious research for the CIA via foundation-laundered funding.

US GOVERNMENT GIVES JAPANESE GOVERNMENT AN “OMINOUS PRIVATE WARNING”

SEE VIDEO BELOW – Japans Mox Fuel 2 Million times more Dangerous than Regular Nuclear Fuel

By Helen Tansey

The nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Dai’Ichi power plant continues with no end in sight. Everyday we awake to fresh news about one of four reactors exploding, on fire or spewing white, grey or black fumes into the air we breath. Water used to cool the reactors has been freely flowing into the sea and ground water, thereby forever poisoning the very resource necessary to sustain life.

The good people in and around the area were evacuated over a week ago – first 3 then 10 now 20km. When the evacuee’s entered the evacuation centers they were promptly geigered, given face masks and Potassium Iodide to stave off the poisoning of radioactive material.

Outside the center, folks are learning their milk, food, tap and sea water are all reading high levels of radiation. Those who could afford to flee for safety left last week. The US military initially began voluntary evacuations of women and children last week, but has since made said evacuations mandatory.

Homes, businesses and entire towns are destroyed by the awesome force of mother nature. Thousands remain unaccounted for. Mass graves are filling up with the dead with the hope that some day some family member will identify the perished and provide them with a proper burial.

The air these people breath, the water they drink and the soil they till is poisoned forever.  There is no clean up process available for radioactive material. None. Zilch. Zip.

It must feel like a living hell in Japan these days. Full Story »

March 14, 2011 — When it comes to major disasters, Obama’s priority is the same: protect the corporate interests

Posted by helen - Monday 3/14/11

(Editor’s Note: The T-Room is providing updates by credible and reliable news sources in the Breaking News post in the Cafe. We are bypassing the corporatist spin propaganda machine to bring you the most accurate, factual and timely information on the tragedy unfolding in Japan including the Fukushima Daiichi and Diani Nuclear Power Plants.)

Wayne Madsen Reports


Fukushima Reactor No. 1 After Explosion

President Obama, as he displayed so ignominiously in the aftermath of the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, has, once again, demonstrated that his first priority in the face of major disasters is the protection of corporate interests. Obama’s reaction to the post-quake nuclear power plant disasters in Japan complements what amounts to a cover-up of the danger posed by nuclear power plants in quake-prone areas. Obama has good reason to be protective of the nuclear power industry: he is in their pockets as much as he was in the pockets of BP and other oil companies after the Deepwater Horizon oil platform explosion and subsequent oil deluge in the Gulf.

The nearly 40 year-old nuclear reactor that experienced a core meltdown and explosion, Fukushima Daiichi’s Unit 1, was manufactured by General Electric and built in Japan at a time when memories of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were still fresh in the minds of many Japanese. Of course, thanks to slick public relations and the support of both the U.S. and Japanese governments, the fear of the Japanese public about nuclear power plants was assuaged by guarantees that the safety of the plants was guaranteed, even during an earthquake in seismically-active Japan.

The Road to Washington – We hold the power to be the change that is needed to find compassion within our communities

Posted by helen - Sunday 3/13/11

Louisiana resident Cherri Foytlin, mother to six children and wife to displaced Deepwater oil rig worker Forest Foytlin, has had enough.  As her family’s livelihood is increasingly threatened by financial deprivation, Ms. Foytlin has run out of time.

Beginning March 13th, 2011, Ms. Foytlin will embark on a journey that she hopes will forever turn the tide of destruction left in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Ms. Foytlin will walk 1,243 miles from New Orleans to Washington, D.C. En route she hopes to garner enough support to captivate the nation with her message of change.

Ms. Foytlin has been fighting for the welfare of the families in the Gulf since the spill first began. She has cried and pleaded for president Obama to restore the people’s faith in the government by demonstrating accountability, transparency, and support towards residents affected by the oil spill. Prompted by desperation, but drive by hope, this walk represents her final attempt to reach the administration.

“This is a pilgrimage of love for the people of the Gulf. I am taking their concerns about health, the economy, the environment and the claims process to the President of the United States. I asked him to come down at the height of the spill so he could meet the people who were truly impacted. My request fell on deaf ears, but we will not be ignored.  My walk is a universal and non-partisan event; it is about preserving our civil rights as a nation, and our human rights as a global community” Full Story »

Stealing from Social Security to Pay for Wars and Bailouts

Posted by helen - Thursday 3/10/11

By Paul Craig Roberts
March 10, 2011

The American Empire is failing. A number of its puppet rulers are being overthrown by popular protests, and the almighty dollar will not even buy one Swiss franc, one Canadian dollar, or one Australian dollar. Despite the sovereign debt problem that threatens EU members Greece, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal, it requires $1.38 dollars to buy one euro, a new currency that was issued at parity with the US dollar.

The US dollar’s value is likely to fall further in terms of other currencies, because nothing is being done about the US budget and trade deficits. Obama’s budget, if passed, doesn’t reduce the deficit over the next 10 years by enough to cover the projected deficit in the FY 2012 budget.

Indeed, the deficits are likely to be substantially larger than forecast. The military/security complex, about which President Eisenhower warned Americans a half century ago, is more powerful than ever and shows no inclination to halt the wars for US hegemony. Full Story »

March 7, 2011 — Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro’s CIA colleagues

Posted by helen - Wednesday 3/9/11

By Wayne Madsen

The time period that President Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro/Sutoro, worked for various Indonesian and Pakistani operations associated with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was during a time frame when USAID was composed almost entirely of CIA official and non-official cover agents who worked throughout Indonesia and Southeast and South Asia.

Ann Dunham Soetoro and Barack Obama as “flexible cover” agents

Before he was sacked as CIA director in 1976 and replaced by George H. W. Bush, William E. Colby commissioned a study of the agency’s priorities in a five-year plan. The Secret NOFORN plan, titled “Director of Central Intelligence: Perspectives for Intelligence 1976-1981,” described the importance of agencies like USAID in the CIA’s operations. The report states: “Contributions of such agencies as State, Defense, Treasury, USAID, USIA, Agriculture, and Commerce can be enhanced substantially by more effective approaches to information gathering and in the reporting aspects of their activities. We need particularly, gains in the interrelationships between overt and clandestine and technical and human sources. We must establish more direct lines between our human collectors and our technical collectors.” Full Story »

Dollar vs. Gold In A Dual Inflation-Deflation Economy Part 1

Posted by helen - Monday 3/7/11

By Doug Eberhardt

Every time you hear “the dollar’s down” or “the dollar’s up,” what exactly does that mean? If they say the dollar is currently trading at 76.54, as it is today, what does that tell you about the relative strength of the dollar or its purchasing power? The truth is, it doesn’t tell you much at all.

I began to make this case in Why Gold Is a Better Currency Indicator Than the U.S. Dollar Index. In this article I will further explain how looking at the dollar as represented by the dollar index alone doesn’t paint a complete picture and how inflation and deflation are occurring at the same time and what that means for gold investors.

The Dollar Has Been Up and Down the Last Three Years

We can see from the following chart that the dollar, as represented by the Dollar Index, has been above and below the 80 line a couple of times in each direction the last few years. Does this picture paint whether we have inflation or deflation? How? Full Story »

The Perfidy of Government: Evidence v. Denial

Posted by helen - Friday 3/4/11

by Paul Craig Roberts

This essay is about three recent books that explain how we lost our economy, the Constitution and our civil liberties, and how peace lost out to war.

Matt Taibbi is the best — certainly the most entertaining — financial/political reporter in the country. There is no better book than Griftopia (2010) to which to turn to understand how stupidity, greed, and criminality, spread evenly among policymakers and Wall Street, created the financial crisis that has left Americans overburdened with both private and public debt. Taibbi walks the reader through the fraudulent financial instruments that littered the American, British, and European financial communities with toxic waste. He has figured it all out, and what in other hands might be an arcane account for MBAs is, in Taibbi’s hands, a highly readable and entertaining story.

For the first 65 pages, Taibbi entertains the reader with the inability of the public and politicians to focus on any reality. The financial story begins on page 65 with Fed chairman Alan Greenspan undermining the Glass-Steagall Act leading to its repeal by three political stooges, Gramm-Leach-Bliley. This set the stage for the banksters to leverage debt upon debt until the house of cards collapsed. When Brooksley Born, head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, attempted to do her regulatory job and regulate derivatives, the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Securities and Exchange Commission got her bounced out of office. To make certain that no other regulator could protect the financial system and its participants from what was coming, Congress deregulated the derivatives markets by passing the Commodity Futures Modernization Act.

By Wayne Madsen: Obama’s CIA “Mommy Dearest” — identifying Indonesians for assassination

Posted by helen - Wednesday 3/2/11

President Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, worked in Indonesia for a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) embassy cover operation that helped identify some 5000 key members of the Indonesian Communist Party — Partai Komunis Indonesia(PKI) that were targeted for assassination by Indonesian armed forces units, of which her husband and President Obama’s step-father, Lolo Soetoro, was a participant. The 5000 targets’ names appeared in what was called by the CIA “the shooting list.”

Furthermore, the contacts of the key 5000 PKI members was also used by the CIA, in part using USAID official cover agents like Ann Dunham, to identify Indonesian sympathizers with the government of President Sukarno, ousted in 1965 in a CIA-orchestrated coup, in which Lolo Soetoro took part, and the PKI, with the net total of Indonesians killed ranging from 250,000 to 1 million.

The CIA’s role in the Indonesian genocide is found in a 1990 article written by Ralph McGehee, a CIA veteran of the agency’s International Communism Branch of the Counterintelligence Staff. The article appeared in the Fall 1990 issue of the Covert Action Information Bulletin.

Lolo Soetoro was a colonel in the Indonesian armed forces and worked for the CIA-installed dictator, General Suharto, from 1965, after returning to Indonesia from Hawaii, where he married Ann Dunham, to 1970, when he joined Exxon. President Obama’s mother arrived in Indonesia to join Soetoro with young Barack Obama, Jr. in October 1967,while the CIA’s anti-PKI and anti-Sukarno “mopping up” operations were still taking place.

CCR Justice: Spanish Judges Rule Case on US Torture Can Continue

Posted by helen - Monday 2/28/11

CR Hails Major Victory for Accountability

February 25, 2011, New York – In response to news that the full panel of Judges of the Audencia Nacional (Spain’s High Court) rejected a Spanish prosecutor’s effort to stop an investigation into the role of  US officials for torture on Guantanamo, the Center for Constitutional Rights, which has submitted many papers in this and a related case in Spain, released the following statement:
This is a monumental decision that will enable a Spanish judge to continue a case on the “authorized and systematic plan of torture and ill treatment” by U.S. officials at Guantanamo. Geoffrey Miller, the former commanding officer at Guantánamo, has already been implicated, and the case will surely move up the chain of command. Since the U.S. government has not only failed to investigate the illegal actions of its own officials and, according to diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks,  also sought to interfere in the Spanish judicial process and stop the case from proceeding, this will be the first real investigation of the U.S. torture program. This is a victory for accountability and a blow against impunity. The Center for Constitutional Rights applauds the Spanish courts for not bowing to political pressure and for undertaking what may be the most important investigation in decades. Full Story »

The Push of Conscience and Secretary Clinton

By RAY McGOVERN

It was not until Secretary of State Hillary Clinton walked to the George Washington University podium last week to enthusiastic applause that I decided I had to dissociate myself from the obsequious adulation of a person responsible for so much death, suffering and destruction.

I was reminded of a spring day in Atlanta almost five years earlier when then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld strutted onto a similar stage to loud acclaim from another enraptured audience.

Introducing Rumsfeld on May 4, 2006, the president of the Southern Center for International Policy in Atlanta highlighted his “honesty.” I had just reviewed my notes for an address I was scheduled to give that evening in Atlanta and, alas, the notes demonstrated his dishonesty.

I thought to myself, if there’s an opportunity for Q & A after his speech I might try to stand and ask a question, which is what happened. I engaged in a four-minute impromptu debate with Rumsfeld on Iraq War lies, an exchange that was carried on live TV. Full Story »

Posted by helen - Tuesday 2/22/11

Over the years, many have hypothesized America’s federal government had been infiltrated following WWII by communists and fascists from both Germany and Russia. I’d heard about such tall tales before but never gave it much thought. However, after witnessing the 2008 primary and then the general election oddities displayed by both sides of the aisle, these tall tales took on a wholly different light.

Something fundamental to our political norm went seriously awry and I needed to know what that was. Three years later, after pouring over everything I could read, watch and/or research, I’ve reached the educated conclusion that indeed such an infiltration had occurred.  It was George W. Bush Sr. who finally gave it all away on September 11, 1991 -

This New World Order (NWO) of which 41 announced to the world is made up of a body of individuals, charitable organizations, think tanks, government officials, senators, delegates, former Vice Presidents, former Presidents, Federal Reserve Board Members, Corporate CEO’s, Ambassadors, lobbyists, Governors, former/current Secretary’s of State, former/current Secretary’s of Defense, Bankers, Wall Street CEO’s and thousands more.

A week ago, when we reported on a move by the Dutch central bank that ordered a pension fund to forcibly reduce its gold holdings, we speculated that “this latest gold confiscation equivalent event is most certainly coming to a banana republic near you.” And while we got the Banana republic right, the event that we are about to describe is not necessarily identical. It is much worse. A bill proposed in the State of Washington (House Bill 1716), by representatives Asay, Hurst, Klippert, Pearson, and Miloscia, whose alleged purpose is to regulate secondhand gold dealers, seeks to capture “the name, date of birth, sex, height, weight, race, and address and telephone number of the person with whom the transaction is made” or said otherwise, of every purchaser of gold in the state of Washington. Furthermore, if passed, Bill 1716 will record “a complete description of the property pledged, bought, or consigned, including the brand name, serial number, model number or name, any initials or engraving, size, pattern, and color or stone or stones” and of course price.

TEA PARTY CRASHES: THE MOST UNPATRIOTIC ACT

I confess that since November I’ve been holding my breath, watching the clock for how long Tea Party newcomers could hold out against the entrenched Republican elite on Capitol Hill. Collapse was inevitable, however I admit to feeling bitterly surprised at how rapidly they have thrown in the towel.

For the record, most of the Tea Party quit their principles of liberty on February 14, 2011—20 days into the new Congress—when Tea Party leaders abruptly abandoned their opposition to the Patriot Act and voted to extend intrusive domestic surveillance, wire tapping and warrantless searches of American citizens.  In so doing, they exposed the fraud of their soaring campaign promises to defend the liberty of ordinary Americans, and fight government intrusions on freedom. All those wide eyed speeches that flowed with such thrilling devotions, all of it proved to be self-aggrandizing lies. Full Story »

If you want something done right, you might well have to do it yourself. We’ve heard the old adage before, but rarely do we ever seem to apply it to our economic environment. Instead, we have seen fit to allow “smarter” men to take the reigns, and take control, of our financial well being, all on misplaced faith in the supposed good intentions of government and corporate bodies. This cultural attitude of non-involvement in the economic decision making process has cost millions of Americans their jobs and now threatens the stability of our currency, our nation, not to mention our very future. Many of us have become entirely dependent on only a handful of men for our own livelihoods. It is time to take greater stock in ourselves, our ingenuity, and our ability to create and adapt. It is time to take responsibility for our own commerce, and breathe life back into local communities once again. It is time for an alternative… Full Story »

SPECIAL REPORT. Obama’s gambit: Holding Egypt for Holder

Posted by helen - Friday 2/4/11

Editor’s Note: For eleven days now, citizens of Egypt have taken to the streets demanding the removal of their repressive dictator Hosni Mubarak. Today, they are protesting in front of the Presidential Palace. The people of Egypt want this man gone and who can blame them after living under such oppressive tyranny for nearly 30 years. By all accounts from reputable journalists, not the propaganda talking heads, the United States appartchik has played a rather significant role in training, mobilizing and funding the youth of Egypt to rise up and demand Mubarak’s immediate departure (see Archives of Daily Specials to read the numerous articles detailing the US involvement). Yet, when the protests heated up the US started playing footsie with these citizens lives, 300 dead and counting,  rather than taking a principled position and practicing what they preach ad nauseum -- “We are committed to building democracies around the globe thereby giving the people their rights and freedom.”

So why the footsie game? Could the US appatchik be stalling the removal of their puppet Mubarak for other nefarious reasons?  Many “real” journalists are avid students of the history of US relations with Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen to name a few, and are offering thoughtful insights. However, few appear to be connecting the US apparatchiks torture and rendition policies, beginning in the nineties, to the current US double talk. Following are two reports:  first is a recent report produced by Global Reports detailing “Obama’s block on the US Torture Probe” and, the second, a “Special Report-Obama’s gambit: Holding Egypt for Holder” by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen of Wayne Madsen Reports. Maybe these two well founded and documented reports will shed some light on the very real reasons for the US Appartchik’s current double talk.

Wayne Madsen Reports

by Wayne Madsen

WMR has learned from a well-informed political insider that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have waffled on support for Egypt’s pro-democracy revolution in order to safeguard a covert U.S.-Egyptian rendition and torture program that dates back to the Clinton administration. In fact, Clinton’s Deputy Attorney General, Eric Holder, now Obama’s Attorney General, was the first Department of Justice official to write a legal brief authorizing the rendition of alleged terrorists from third countries by the CIA to Egypt for purposes of interrogation and torture.

c/p Wayne Madsen Report: January 31, 2011 — Museum looting and a major information war raging with Wikileaks and the corpo-media

Posted by helen - Monday 1/31/11

One thing is always true of the kleptocratic syndicate that runs Israel: never let a crisis go to waste. The “made for television” looting of the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo, a museum established in 1902 to stem the tide of the systematic theft of Egyptian historical artifacts and relics by unscrupulous western nations, including Britain, may have masked the behind-the-scenes pillaging of artifacts located in museum store rooms, well-beyond the view of visitors.
Viewers of the televised scenes of the looting of the museum on Mariette Pasha Street on Tahrir Square saw roughly ten artifacts lying on the floor, along with broken glass display cases. Oddly, no artifacts from the public galleries were reported stolen. There was a report that the heads of two mummies were removed, but not robbed. Egyptian protesters formed a human chain around the museum in order to protect it from further pillaging. Later, it was reported that some of the “looters” at the museum were actually Egyptian security policem asquerading as looters. Or were they?” Full Story »

Time for some sunshine on the “shadow government mob”

Posted by helen - Wednesday 1/26/11

This is one of those days where a diluge of information spills forth on several old and “breaking” news stories, but the story below is simply mind blowing. It’s one that I stumbled upon several years ago, quite by accident, when I started on my personal journey to learn what the bloody hell was going on in my country.

Back then, I knew prior to the 2008 General Election that Barack H. Obama was ineligible to serve as President under Article II of the US Constitution. Due to my concern, I phoned my friend, who also served as Virginia’s Secretary of the State Board of Elections, to learn what steps the state was taking to ensure Obama’s constitutional eligibility in order to be placed on Virginia’s General Election ballot. I was told in a follow-up phone call that she spoke to her contact at the FCC who assured her he was indeed eligible.

Stuxnet: A Violation of US Computer Security Law – c/p with permission from Wayne Madsen Reports

Posted by helen - Tuesday 1/18/11

January 18-19, 2011 — Stuxnet: a violation of US computer security law, by Wayne Madsen 

If a January 15 report in The New York Times, which has a dubious past in reporting on computer security and hacking issues, is true — that the United States Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy — via the Idaho National Laboratory — Siemens (which has a long-standing intelligence relationship with the National Security Agency), the CIA, Britain’s intelligence services, Germany, and Israel’s Mossad cooperated to develop the Stuxnet computer worm to disable Iranian nuclear program centrifuges, the U.S. government violated a number of federal computer security laws that prohibit the development of malicious computer programs that damage ″federal interest″ computers. The Stuxnet worm, which, according to the Times, was tested at Israel’s Dimona nuclear weapons development facility in the Negev, not only infected Iranian nuclear program computers but spread to computers in other countries, including the United States. Stuxnet code was discovered through computer forensics to contain key words from the Jewish Old Testament Book of Esther, further establishing Israeli fingerprints on the malicious code. The malicious code’s file name, Myrtus, is the Hebrew word for Esther. According to myth, Esther saved the Jews from a Persian plot to exterminate them.

The New York Times article by William Broad, John Markoff, and David Sanger, three reporters who have their own questionable ties to Israeli interests, states that when Stuxnet first appeared around the world in June last year, it did little harm and did not slow computer networks. However, this is merely an attempt to let the U.S. and Israeli governments off the hook by falsely claiming that the only damage done by Stuxnet was to the centrifuge systems used by Iran to enrich uranium. Although Stuxnet likely did disable Iran’s centrifuges, causing a set-back to its nuclear program, the Stuxnet worm, contrary to The New York Times report, resulted in computer down time and disruption far beyond Iran. The disruption by a digital version of a U.S. and Israeli military first strike makes the United States government and Israel civilly liable for the damage and disruption caused by Stuxnet.

Stuxnet: A Violation of US Computer Security Law – c/p with permission from Wayne Madsen Reports

Posted by helen - Tuesday 1/18/11

Wayne Madsen Reports

by Wayne Madsen -
January 18-19, 2011 -- Stuxnet: a violation of US computer security law

The possible involvement of computer security officials, like Sean McGurk, the DHS's director of the Control System Security Program, in covering up the true origin of Stuxnet, cannot be overlooked. As a founding board member of the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC2), this editor warned against the infiltration of NSA and other intelligence operatives into the computer security profession. The warnings were backed by colleagues from other nations, including Finland and Australia. Placing intelligence operatives inside computer security management positions can always result in the use of computers for sabotage and intelligence. Stuxnet may be the culmination of such infiltration of the computer security profession. In 2000, this editor resigned from the ISC2 board over the acquiescence of the board and consortium to dictates from NSA and other problematic U.S. government agencies. This editor and a minority of board members also disagreed with offering professional certifications to employees of foreign intelligence agencies in countries with abominable human rights and civil liberties records.
Stuxnet was specifically designed to attack supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) computer systems. These systems control everything from electrical power grids and chemical processing plants to the computers that operate traffic light and rail systems. Stuxnet disabled SCADA systems not only in Iran but also in India (where India's satellite program may have been severely impacted), Pakistan, Indonesia, Germany, Canada, China, Malaysia, South Korea, Russia, Kazakhstan, United Kingdom, Finland, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Brazil, Australia, Brunei, Netherlands, Taiwan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Thailand, Belarus, Denmark, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and the United States. Stuxnet was found on 63 computers in Japan. New Zealand, Japan, and Hong Kong issued alerts about Stuxnet's impact on their SCADA systems. Britain's integrated national rail transport network was reported to be particularly vulnerable to Stuxnet. Turkey reacted to Stuxnet by mandating a ″National Virtual Environment Security Policy.″
 
By the end of September of last year, over 100,000 computers worldwide had been infected by Stuxnet. So much for The New York Times'  specious report that the worm did little damage. Industrial control system security specialists from the chemical, oil, and gas industries expressed concern that the U.S. government was less-than-forthcoming about the effects of Stuxnet on their industries. The computer security firm Symantec appears to have been laundering information to private industry from the government.
China, which feared Stuxnet could infect its SCADA systems, issued a national security report about the worm, especially its impact on oil drilling systems. WMR has learned from its Beijing sources that China is growing tired of Israelis, in general, and international banks like Goldman Sachs having strong ties to Israel, in particular, over what it sees as an attempt by Israel and certain international banks to undermine China's new strong industrial and financial position in the world. Representatives of the People's Bank of China, China's central bank, are wary of their contacts with Israelis and bankers and WMR has learned that Japanese central bankers shared the concerns of their Chinese counterparts when it comes to Israel and firms like Goldman Sachs. Chinese authorities were particularly incensed over initial disinformation reports, distributed by the Pentagon-linked media, that China created Stuxnet.
U.S. government involvement in the creation and first strike deployment of a destructive cyber-weapon like Stuxnet and its "bounce back" to "protected" U.S. systems and networks, including SCADA systems, is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C.§ 1030. The CFAA imposes criminal and civil penalties for anyone who disrupts a "protected computer." A protected computer is defines as one:

  • "exclusively for the use of a financial institution or the United States Government, or, in the case of a computer not exclusively for such use, used by or for a financial institution or the United States Government and the conduct constituting the offense affects that use by or for the financial institution or the Government;" or 
  • "which is used in interstate or foreign commerce or communication."

Criminal activity under the law applies to anyone who ″knowingly transmits a program, code or instruction, and as a result, intentionally causes damage, without authorization, to a protected computer.″ Thus, anyone in the U.S. government or acting as a government contractor, or a foreign national acting on behalf of a foreign government like Israel, who participated in the creation and deployment of the Stuxnet worm could be fined and sentenced to prison. In 2002, New Jersey programmer David L. Smith, the creator of the Melissa worm in 1999, which brought down computer systems across North America in 1999, was sentenced to 20 months in federal prison and a $5000 fine. The chief federal prosecutor of Smith was Chris Christie, now the governor of New Jersey. Under federal law Smith faced a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine but Christie argued for a lighter sentence because Smith cooperated with prosecutors.
The National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996 further codified the CFAA to address new technologies and criminal activity.
On February 29, 2000, the Deputy Attorney General testified before the House Judiciary Committee subcommittee on crime about the danger posed by malicious computer programs. He said, ″We are seeing more 'pure' computer crimes, that is, crimes where the computer is used as a weapon to attack other computers, as we saw in the distributed denial of service attacks I just spoke about, and in the spread of malicious code, like viruses. Our vulnerability to this type of crime is astonishingly high - it was only this past December that a defendant admitted, when he plead guilty in federal and state court to creating and releasing the Melissa virus, that he caused over 80 million dollars in damage . . . These crimes not only affect our financial well-being and our privacy; they also threaten our nation's critical infrastructure. Our banking system, the stock market, the electricity and water supply, telecommunications networks, and critical government services, such as emergency and national defense services, all rely on computer networks. For a real-world terrorist to blow up a dam, he would need tons of explosives, a delivery system, and a surreptitious means of evading armed security guards. For a cyberterrorist, the same devastating result could be achieved by hacking into the control network and commanding the computer to open the floodgates.″

Real Clear World - Stuxnet and Collateral Damage 


That Deputy Attorney General was Eric Holder, now President Obama's Attorney General. Holder has, either through ignorance or involvement, permitted the U.S. and Israeli governments to release a destructive malicious computer program, the very type Holder warned against in 2000.
John P. Wheeler III, the former assistant ot the Secretary of the Air Force during the Bush administration, was one of the Pentagon's top experts on cyber-warfare. On December 31, Wheeler's body was found in a Wilmington, Delaware landfill. Wheeler worked for the Mitre Corporation, which has intelligence agency and Pentagon cyber-warfare contracts. Wheeler publicly stated his opposition of locating the new US Cyber Command with NSA at Fort Meade, Maryland. With more information being revealed about the offensive information warfare first strike by the United States ad Israel, and the role of NSA in that first strike, the age-old question in Washington, DC still pertains: ″What did Wheeler know and when did he know it?″

This new year will see the new fake threat of Islamist terrorism and “anarchism”

By Wayne Madsen

The corporatists and fascists who have steered Europe into bankruptcy are now using their media assets to morph their favorite threat over the last two decades — Islamist terrorism — to a combined menace of Islamist terrorists teamed up with an international network of anarchists. The change of threat was necessary with corporatists and fascist-led governments in Europe besieged by workers and students who are militantly opposed to severe cuts in social spending that were dictated from supranational institutions in order to financially bail out greedy bankers and their lackeys in governments.

In Greece and Italy, where governments are under street pressure to resign over corruption and austerity moves, there are already signs that the paradigm shift from Islamist terrorism to leftist anarchism is already occurring, with highly-suspicious and likely false flag bombings taking place at embassies and other facilities.

Dissolving the Union

By Jeff Gates

For those who think the U.S. is broke, think again. It’s far more serious than that.

To renew Bush-era tax cuts for our most well-to-do 2% would reduce U.S. government revenues by $700 billion over the decade. That shortfall will need to be borrowed.

Or we could provide college scholarships to 14 million U.S. high school students. Or tuition, room and board for about half of today’s college students.

$700 billion is also the interest expense on the $3 trillion that the U.S. is projected to borrow to fund the long-term costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of that interest paid to individuals, care to guess what portion finds its way to the topmost 2%? Full Story »

December 3, 2010

As producer Michael Braverman announced yesterday, what was once an episode just dealing with schemes to profit off the Great Lakes has now expanded into a startling exposé of the dangerous toxins being added to our water by design. Now known as the “Worldwide Water Conspiracy,” tonight’s episode of Conspiracy Theory with Gov. Jesse Ventura will take on water privatization, false scarcity profit schemes, the effects of fluoride, lithium and uranium in drinking water and much more. “WORLDWIDE WATER CONSPIRACY” PREMIERES TONIGHT, FRIDAY DEC. 3 AT 10 PM EST / 9 PM CST.

Scarcity, perceived or real, drives the value of commodities, and many people say water is the next oil. The Great Lakes consist of more than 20% of Earth’s surface fresh water, but the levels are dropping. Some streams and groundwater sources have already dried up, and a shortage of clean drinking water could prove to be one of the 21st Century’s greatest bubbles. Full Story »

December 2, 2010 — U.S. intelligence retaliates against Israel’s role in Wikileaks’s disclosures

With Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, continuing their gloating over the disclosure by Wikileaks of classified U.S. State Department cables, the U.S. intelligence community is taking off its gloves and is releasing some embarrassing information about Netanyahu and a Mossad attempt to use a divorce involving the President of Yemen’s family to penetrate the president’s family’s inner circle in a possible blackmail attempt.

Wikileaks’s founder, Julian Assange, singled out Netanyahu for praise as a world leader who believes the embarrassing leaks will aid “global diplomacy.” In an interview with Time magazine, Assange said “Netanyahu believes that the result of this publication, which makes the sentiments of many privately held beliefs public, are promising a pretty good . . . . [and] will lead to some kind of increase in the peace process in the Middle East and particularly in relation to Iran.” Assange, who is believed to be in the United Kingdom, is the subject of an INTERPOL arrest warrant for alleged “sex crimes” in Sweden.

November 29th, 2010

Ultra elitist environmental group The Royal Society has published a series of papers to coincide with the latest round of UN climate talks, in which influential scientists suggest that politicians should force the population of the developed world to adhere to a system of rationing in order to stave off rising global temperatures.

The papers suggest that 1930s and 40s style crisis rationing should be implemented by Western governments in order to reduce carbon emissions. Such a move would see “limits on electricity so people are forced to turn the heating down, turn off the lights and replace old electrical goods like huge fridges with more efficient models. Food that has travelled from abroad may be limited and goods that require a lot of energy to manufacture.” the London Telegraph Reports. Full Story »

It’s Movie night at The T-Room. Tonight’s nine part movie is JFK -- Executive Order. Rather than spending your resource, that is your energy learning what Mossad just released via WikiLeaks, I invite you to focus your attention on learning how your’s and my life were forever altered in 1963 with the murder of JFK. Yes, RFK and MLK’s murders were carried out by similar CIA assissination teams. The point of tonight’s feature is to start at what I see as the beginning or the roots of the tyranny we the people now live under. 

As your host, I will be adding other details and videos in the comment section so you, a proud patriotic American, can learn more details and comment by sharing your own information and details.

Sure this New World Order Khazarian takeover has its roots in treaties signed by our nations Founding Fathers w/the King following the Revolutionairy War and the Act of 1871, Act of 1873 and the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, but JFK’s murder marks the day the NWO ratcheted up it’s takeover.

Watch, carefully listen and learn. JFK’s murder was the day as Don McLean sang, Bye, Bye Miss American Pie -

c/p/w permission Wayne Madsen Report – The U.S. economy: stand by for even worse news. Open Thread

Posted by helen - Thursday 11/25/10

November 24, 2010 — The U.S. economy: stand by for even worse news A top economic adviser to the Democratic Party, speaking on deep background, told WMR that the domino-like collapse of the economies of Iceland, Greece, Ireland, and, now, possibly Spain, is coming also to the United States.

One of the triggering mechanisms will be at the end of this month when two million idled workers, now collecting unemployment, will be dropped from the rolls. At the end of December, another two million workers will join the ranks of those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and a total of 4 million Americans will be without unemployment checks and face destitution.

Four million Americans will put financial pressure on municipalities and state governments already facing bankruptcy. Unlike Iceland, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and, to some extent, Spain, which have strong central government control, the United States is a federal republic and, as such, the collapse of the economy will be state-by-state and begin at the municipality level, according to our source who has contacts within the Obama White House and the Democratic leadership of the Congress.

Illness Plagues Gulf Residents in BP’s Aftermath

ORANGE BEACH, Alabama, Nov 15, 2010 (IPS) – Increasing numbers of U.S. Gulf Coast residents attribute ongoing sicknesses to BP’s oil disaster and use of toxic dispersants.

“Now I have a bruising rash all around my stomach,” Denise Rednour of Long Beach, Mississippi told IPS. “This looks like bleeding under the skin.”

Rednour lives near the coast and has been walking on the beach nearly every day since a BP oil rig exploded on Apr. 20. She has noticed a dramatically lower number of wildlife, and said that many days the smell of chemicals from what she believes are BP’s toxic dispersants fill the air.

Miracle in Ohio…Good Samaritan and Mercy Hospital…Open Thread

Posted by helen - Monday 11/15/10

After closing The T-Room blog down two weeks ago to tend to my mom, I return with hope and a profound sense of gratitude.

The Cardio team-doctor’s, nurses, nurse assistants and support staff-at Good Samaritan Hospital and Mercy Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, are my heroes. Working together, they have given mom a new lease on life which continues to turn into a true miracle with every new day.

You see, when I left Wednesday nearly two week’s ago, I had a heavy heart and feared I may be going to Cincinnati to help her pass on. She was hospitalized Saturday evening with heavy bleeding and she could hardly breathe. Not knowing what to expect when I arrived, I decided to spend the eight hours in the car praying for her and her wellbeing. Full Story »

Recently by Mac Slavo: Doomsday Postponed: Mayan Calendar May Be Wrong

 

   

As we pointed out in 1.2 Million Will Lose Job Benefits By Christmas, the situation is getting desperate. The government reports that we are out of recession. The President says that his policies have helped us to avoid depression. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he, alone, was responsible for saving the world from economic catastrophe.

The reality, however, is exactly the opposite, as pointed out on CBS’ 60 Minutes:

The economic jam we’re in has topped even the great depression in one respect. Never have we had a recession this deep with a recovery this flat. Unemployment has been at 9.5% or above for fourteen months. Congress did something that it’s never done before. It extended unemployment benefits for 99 weeks. That cost more than $100 billion, a huge expense for a government in debt. But now, for many Americans, 99 weeks have passed and there is still no job in sight. Full Story »

Deliberately Engineered Economic Collapse in USA Leading to Martial Law

Posted by helen - Friday 10/15/10

Posted by Phil Brennan on Oct 15, 2010

With the US Government preparing to seize private and public pensions in order to bankrupt the American People and bring them down into poverty as part of their Full Spectrum Dominance plans, the risk of American society collapsing into anarchy and rioting is extremely high over the next few months. Plans have already been in place for the past twenty-six years with Rex 84 to bring the USA under Martial Law in such an eventuality. The Military have been training extensively over this time period specifically to take on the American people with the National Level Program of army exercises. National Level Exercises 2010 (NLE10) have had exercises in Chicago, Illinois, entitled “Operation Vigilant Guard”, where foreign troops were training with the US Military to take out Patriots and confiscate legally held guns from the American people.

The Real Reason Bank of America Halts Foreclosure In 50 States – They’re Broke!

Posted by helen - Friday 10/8/10

by Doug Eberhardt

Buygoldandsilversafely.com

Bank of America came out today and announced they are halting foreclosure in 50 states because of potential flaws in foreclosure documents.  But its not just Bank of America that is halting foreclosures. More and more banks are joining the list to halt any foreclosure action, including JPMorgan Chase.

Also Friday, PNC Financial Services Group Inc. said it is halting most foreclosures and evictions in 23 states for a month so it can review whether documents it submitted to courts complied with state laws. An official at the Pittsburgh-based bank confirmed the decision on Friday, which was reported earlier by the New York Times. The official requested anonymity because the decision hasn’t been publicly announced.

PNC becomes the fourth major U.S. lender to halt some foreclosures amid evidence that mortgage company employees or their lawyers signed documents in foreclosure cases without verifying the information in them.

In addition to PNC and Bank of America, Ally Financial’s GMAC Mortgage unit and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have announced similar moves in the past two weeks.

This means two of the largest banks in the United States are no longer foreclosing on homes. Full Story »

Why Should Anyone Believe Bernanke When He Says “Were Not Out of Ammo”

Posted by helen - Monday 10/4/10

by Doug Eberhardt

Oct 042010

Bernanke came out today and said about the Fed, “they are not out of ammo.” Of course this line has been used before in describing the power of the Federal Reserve, as recently as September 21, 2010 by the former Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President,  Al Broaddus.

What they do with these types of statements is try to convince people the Fed is in control. But it is just the words they think that will move markets, not actual policy. In other words, they think that just by mentioning something, it is gospel….and so the people and markets will react accordingly, accomplishing their goals.

c/p/w Permission: Trading Paper Gold and Silver Versus Owning Physical Gold and Silver

Posted by helen - Friday 10/1/10

By Doug Eberhardt

A couple days ago I went out on a limb and called a top in gold and silver for traders. Today we are possibly getting that short squeeze I mentioned in that article with gold and silver pushing higher, but now settling back down. This short squeeze could last more than a day, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that we could see gold higher for a bit. Calling a top is the time to start taking profits if one is sitting on them.

The hardest thing for a trader to do is take profit. This is where greed comes into play. In the push for that extra buck, one gets emotional rather than thinking logically and being satisfied with the profit already obtained.

My father, a retired commodities broker, said the number one reason his clients lost money was “greed.” My thoughts are simply; an investor can’t go broke by taking profit. But physical gold and silver are a different animal and I’ll explain how so later in this article. Full Story »

The Secret of Oz

Posted by helen - Friday 9/24/10

h/t to Tndoc -

Allow me to introduce you to the “Wizard of Oz” as Baum’s story was truly meant to be told. Mr. Baum lived through some of the more radical times of our true nation’s history. When I use the word “true” I mean not through the filters of the media empires exploitation or propaganda.

What you will learn in this award winning film is this, America has long struggled against the Central Bank owned and managed by the Rothschild’s is the financial empire raping all good peoples of the world of their wealth. It is time to cut the head off of this devouring snake. Today, I posted on the Chalkboard, as well as in the Cafe, a video of renowned Historian, Webster Tarpley, exposing to the American people France’s President, Sarkozy, calling for a tax on the banksters. Currently, these rascals PAY NO TAXES WHATSOEVER. When the Rothscild children grew to an age to understand the families business, they are awarded $4 Billion just to get started on their path to create mayhem such as inflation, deflation, double dips etc into all of the world’s financial markets. Imagine for just one moment what you and I would do with a $4 billion windfall. Yes, you and I, sovereign citizens would feed and clothe the hungry because we know in our souls it is the right thing to do. These fools, no, not so much, are instead deliberately taught to exploit we the people even more out of our wealth b/c they THINK WE ARE STUPID.

For the most part they are correct. Few wish to believe and accept the fact that our government leaders answer to those who wield power and right now it’s the bankers. Well, WE THE PEOPLE should be the one’s they fear, but somewhere in the last 20 to 40 years, WE THE PEOPLE were told we no longer held the power.

Conquer and divide is the banker’s twisted goal, and damned if I see much unity these days, so they are succeeding once again.

After watching this film, let’s talk about unifying and making sure these bastards never appear again in America. Full Story »

Piece by piece, America being given away

By  Carmen Reynolds, Paul McKain and Karen Schoen

Boogai!

“It’s too late; it’ll just have to be stopped in the Senate,” Tom, the young male answering the phone in U.S. Rep. John Boehner’s  (R-Ohio)Washington D.C. office, said about HR 3534 (CLEAR Act). This is the globalist bill designed to give away our land, oceans, adjacent land masses and Great Lakes to an international body, and makes us pay $900 million per year until 2040. 

HR 3534 is a thinly disguised permanent roadblock to American energy which drives American companies out of the Gulf, delays future drilling, increases dependency on foreign oil, implements climate change legislation and youth education programs; but most important, it mandates membership in the Law of the Sea Treaty without the required two-thirds vote to ratify it in the U.S. Senate.

Censored Gulf News: Woman with big black briefcase

Posted by helen - Saturday 9/18/10

Human Rights Examiner

In Washington DC, environmental science degreed and Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctor facilitator Kimberly Wolf presented a black briefcase packed with censored Gulf of Mexico evidence at the “Spill Into Washington DC Rally” last week. Wolf is as packed with untold Gulf operation details as is her briefcase that she invited rally participants to open and peruse and occasionally used to tap her foot when referring its content.

Wolf is the cancer survivor ousted from the first President Investigative Commission meeting on the Gulf Oil catastrophe that was held in New Orleans. Just before escorted out of that meeting in July, she had responded to the Coast Guard report it presented, a report viewed by people of the Gulf Coast as the same propaganda BP is using for its campaign in best interest of corporations instead of people.

The first court award in a vaccine-autism claim is a big one. CBS News has learned the family of Hannah Poling will receive more than $1.5 million dollars for her life care; lost earnings; and pain and suffering for the first year alone.

In addition to the first year, the family will receive more than $500,000 per year to pay for Hannah’s care. Those familiar with the case believe the compensation could easily amount to $20 million over the child’s lifetime. Hannah was described as normal, happy and precocious in her first 18 months.Then, in July 2000, she was vaccinated against nine diseases in one doctor’s visit: measles, mumps, rubella, polio, varicella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and Haemophilus influenzae.

Osama had been hospitalized one day before the 9/11 attacks. 

 How on earth could he have coordinated the attacks from his hospital bed in a heavily guarded Pakistani military hospital located in Rawalpindi.   Bear in mind that the Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi (under the adminstration of the Pakistani military) exclusively “provides specialised treatment to Army personel and their immediate family”. Osama bin Laden must have had some connections in the Pakistani military or intelligence to be admitted to the hospital. He was, according to Dan Rather’s CBS report, provided with  “treatment for a very special person”.   Full Story »

OBAMA AND BUSH ‘SPOKEN TO’ BY MEN WITH GUNS

• When ‘President’ Barack Hussein Obama touched down on the White House Lawn at 5:30pm on 9th July, he was ‘spoken to’. Enquiries by this service confirm that those doing the ‘speaking’ were not Secret Service operatives. On the contrary they were men with guns.
• Within the past 24-30 hours, private citizen George Godfather H. W. Bush Sr. has likewise been ‘spoken to’ twice. The people doing the ‘speaking’ were men with guns.
• The Chinese have had enough and are ready to take drastic lethal measures.
• Private citizens George H. W. Bush Sr. and Neil Bush think they are immortal and can take the loot they are blocking to the grave.
• Obama, who answers to the private citizen George H. W. Bush Sr., is saying he’s a ‘national citizen’. In order to be President of the United States, under the Constitution and the Soldiers and Sailors Act, you have to be a NATURAL citizen born in the United States or born in a US military family serving abroad.

Once again, the Obama administration has violated the Bill of Rights. Earlier this month, the feds took down a free WordPress blogging platform and disabled more than 73,000 blogs. The action was completely ignored by the corporate media. The site, Blogetery.com, was told by its hosting service that the government had issued orders to shut down the site due to a “a history of abuse” related to copyrighted material.

In late June, Joe Biden and Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator Victoria Espinel said the government would move to take down sites offering unauthorized movies and music. “Criminal copyright infringement occurs on a massive scale over the Internet, reportedly resulting in billions of dollars in losses to the U.S. economy,” said Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Happy Independence Day Everyone! The T-Room wishes you and your family a fabulous and safe holiday. Best, Helen and T-Room Team

See Update X1 immediately following the Commander’s Interview below –     

I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge and thank the good folks who have offered unending assistance to The T-Room so as to author this historic series, they are Citizen Tsunami, Jag Hunter, and Just Me. Your time is precious and we remain grateful to the three of you for sharing so much of it with The T-Room. There are others who made significant contributions to this series  we wish to thank including James Bowman, Darren Huff and Mack Ellis.  Thank you.       We suggest, if you are new to this series, that you start at the beginning –          

Part I lays the groundwork –  1946: The Year the Federal Government Illegally Usurped American’s Constitutional Protections featured a 60-minute audio interview with former/active Marine Sgt. Tim Harrington, exposing the illegal usurpation of the citizen’s right for redress as protected by the powers granted Grand Juries under the Fifth Amendment.          

Part II discusses America’s current Grand Jury – Operation American Freedom: We the People demanding return to Constitutional Law  Harrington’s primary investigative focus on the issue of Grand Jury ‘Presentments,’  led him to believe our original civil system of ‘Presentments’ was replaced with the military’s system – specifically Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) – “Rules of Criminal Procedure.” The UCMJ system appears to mirror the civil system in that it only allows Grand Juries the power to hand down ‘Indictments’ to a prosecutor, and strips away their prior powers to act independently – sans prosecutor.          

This single act of replacing civil procedure with military procedure denies citizens their First Amendment right to address grievances with any local, state or federal government actor through the Constitutional American Grand Jury System, whose powers are guaranteed under the Fifth Amendment. How and why this occurred is the mission of much investigative work, and the reason for publishing this series at The T-Room.

Many patriots throughout the political blogosphere have wondered aloud, where is the military, especially the retired men and women, as it relates to the ineligibility question of Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro (Suharto) to serve as President of the United States of America. I too found myself wondering this very thing in 2008 when I first began to learn more about this man who called himself Barack Obama. With all of the disturbing information I had become aware of coupled with my new respect and understanding of Article II of the US Constitution, I couldn’t fathom how any thinking Democrat, let alone Republican, would give him the win, but they did… Full Story »

Remembering the crew of the USS Liberty

Posted by helen - Tuesday 6/8/10

Today, June 8, 1967 the USS Liberty and her crew were attacked by Israel in International Waters. The attack lasted for hours with no help arriving from US Air Force carriers that were close by. Although the Air Force tried mightily to come to their brothers aid, then President Lyndon Baines Johnson, serving at Commander In Chief, ordered the air force to “cut her wings”.

It wasn’t until a Russian ship hearing the mayday calls arrived upon the brutal attack that it ceased. Full Story »

Approaching this Memorial Day Weekend it was announced that sadly the casualty count of U.S. soldiers that have died in Afghanistan is now over 1,000 – AN ILLEGAL AND FUTILE WAR in its 9th year. A war in a country commonly known as the “Graveyard of Empires.” Add to that, the number of wounded in action is over 5,500, while the number of medically evacuated due to injury or disease is over 9,400.

Total U.S. casualties Afghanistan as of 4/13/10 is over 15,900.

The Iraq war, now entering into the 7th year, claims the lives of over 4400, and records indicate wounded in action close to 32,000, and a third category of medically evacuated due to injury or disease of close to 39,000.

Total U.S. casualties Iraq as of 4/13/10 is over 75,000. Full Story »

Interpol receives Email from The T-Room on possible lead of Counterfeit Treasury Plates aka ‘Supernotes’

Posted by helen - Friday 5/28/10

Update 1x – A Harry Dexter White was cited in the Jordan Diary. Just Me did some research and discovered a write up on this Mr. White at Conservapedia. Here is the opening paragraph on Mr. White “Harry Dexter White (October 9, 1892 – August 16, 1948) was an American economist and senior U.S. Department of Treasury official. He was the first head of the International Monetary Fund, played an important role in formation of the World Bank. He was also a Soviet secret agent—”the most highly-placed asset the Soviets possessed in the American government.”[1] White succeeded in subverting American policy to favor Soviet interests over U.S. interests. Unlike other Comintern operatives such as Alger Hiss or Julius Rosenberg, White died before he could be brought to trial. Consequently, Harry Dexter White’s case has not been publicly scrutinized as closely as the Hiss and Rosenberg cases, yet in some respects, White’s subversion of US foreign policy may have been even more damaging.” To read more go to Conservapedia linked above.

Today, 28 May 2010, I, Helen C. Tansey, President, Tansey & Associates, www.t-room.us submitted the following information to Interpol. Why? As I explain below, when doing research on the birth of the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution AND how the Original 13th Amendment to the US Constitution was intentionally and deliberately erased from our history, I came upon a little known book titled, Mr. Jordan’s Diary. This little book recounts the very real experience of Major Jordan who was assigned by the military to Newark, NJ, civilian airport. He witnessed US Federal Reserve machinery, paper and plates being loaded onto a Russian plane in route to Moscow, and so much more. Read the account for yourself.

Major Jordan had no reason to lie, fabricate or make up such a tale. None. No pay off. Nada.

Educate yourself and read the Diary, which is linked at Sweetliberty below. Bother yourself and for once, don’t make an excuse. Learn your history. Learn your government. Learn your military. Full Story »

c/p/w Permission: May 24, 2010 — Special Report. Obama and Emanuel: members of same gay bath house club in Chicago

Posted by helen - Thursday 5/27/10

May 24, 2010 — SPECIAL REPORT. Obama and Emanuel: members of same gay bath house club in Chicago

President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel are lifetime members of the same gay bath house in uptown Chicago, according to informed sources in Chicago’s gay community, as well as veteran political sources in the city.

The bath house, Man’s Country, caters to older white men and it has been in business for some 30 years and is known as one of uptown Chicago’s “grand old bathhouses.” WMR was told by sources who are familiar with the bath house that it provides one-year “lifetime” memberships to paying customers and that the club’s computerized files and pre-computer paper files, include membership information for both Obama and Emanuel. The data is as anonymized as possible for confidentiality purposes. However, sources close to “Man’s Country” believe the U.S. Secret Service has purged the computer and filing cabinet files of the membership data on Obama and Emanuel. Full Story »

Why hasn’t Virginia’s AG Cuccinelli and/or former AG Mims investigated election fraud in 2008?

Posted by helen - Tuesday 5/25/10

I just finished reading JB Williams post at Canada Free Press titled “DC Knows that Obama is Ineligible for Office”. Let my voice be added to these astute observations made by Mr. Williams.

After reading the entire article, I was struck by one thought, that is, the media, congress and the courts honestly believe we INTELLIGENT, INFORMED, PATRIOTIC AMERICANS are STUPID!!!

I guess we’re too stupid to see both the Democrat and Republican Parties who are up to their eyeballs wallowing in this despicable fraud, who are enabling one another, and who are ignoring, no better yet, ridiculing all Patriotic American’s by now calling us terrorists…hhhmmm first we were racist and that didn’t stick, then we were Nazi’s and anti American and that didn’t stick, so now were all being labeled as terrorists…what ridicule will these silly boys and girls use next? As Gomer would say “surprise, surprise, surprise” we’re not going to stop demanding proof of Obama’s ineligibility simply because you call us grown-ups names. Get used to it! Suck it up! Be a grown up and challenge us adult American Patriots on the FACTS.  What this stupid American is clearly witnessing is this,  BOTH parties – Republican and Democrat – are corrupt criminal enterprises.  Both are complicit in this act of constitutional and election fraud and both are in bed together (pun intended) hoping if they just pull the sheets up over their peanut sized brains all of this will just go away.

FORGING THEIR OWN CHAINS AND SHACKLES

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

Millions of illegal aliens, thousands members of dangerous drug gangs, have taken over city after city, state after state. Do you really think our government couldn’t have closed the border in days? The illegals are here for a purpose. They killed trade unions, suppressed the minimum wage, worked as slaves for corporate agriculture, filled our prisons and courts, all of this and more was part of a plan. Follow the money. Illegal immigration is a product of lobbyists who fought to protect it, the National Association of Manufacturers and the US Chamber of Commerce in particular. Big agricuture spent millions to keep our borders open and their hero, California Governor Ronald Reagan, chief “coyote” of all time. Full Story »

I Think She Knows

I think my Mother knows who dug her flowers up for bait,
And she knows I had detention… not try outs for the play.
About that indoor game of football,
“Galactic Ooze” under my bed,
The chocolate on her curtains,
And the BB peppered shed.
I think I should confess to these and other things,
For every night this week… she’s been serving lima beans.

False Flag Event Imminent on American Soil

What on earth is going on?

Yesterday, Alex Jones of InfoWars/PrisonPlanet TV, sounded the alarm that a false flag attack on American soil is imminent, that is, anytime between now and August 2010. If there is one thing I have come to respect about Alex Jones over this last year is he does his homework. He has spent two decades studying, researching, interviewing and reporting on the criminal corporate cabal aka the government has taken over the U.S. federal apparatus. Through his work, he has gotten inside the heads of these leaders and has learned how they play their games. Full Story »

The Original 13th Amendment, Titles of Nobility and Honor Amendment, Sabotaged

Posted by helen - Wednesday 4/14/10

(Editor’s note: It is my greatest pleasure to turn over today’s Opinion Section to guest Author Stanley Evans. For some time now, I have wanted to post an article on The Original Thirteenth Amendment known as the “Titles of Nobility and Honor” Amendment which just vanished one day, poof, gone  from the U.S. Constitution. Since delving into the research and learning more about the history of the amendment, I thought it wise to make contact with key members of Virginia’s General Assembly to request assistance affirming Virginia’s obvious ratification of the original 13th Amendment. For some peculiar reason though, these good men have not responded. One can only imagine why; especially after reading this most excellent post by my friend Stan Evans. Enjoy!)

Titles of Nobility and Honor, 1810, Second Session, Eleventh Congress

by Stanley Evans

Right or wrong, this is a hypothesis. A personal opinion based on many years of research.

Why was Virginia’s vote of ratification on March 12, 1819, rejected, hidden, and finally suppressed?

Because, in those days, “Esquire” was a title of honor granted by the British Bar under the sovereign authority of his majesty. How many politicians today would support a bill that would not only throw them out of office, but also strip them of their citizenship? Does the number zero come to mind? Full Story »

In Honor of Eustace Mullins – The Greatest Man of our Time

Posted by helen - Thursday 4/8/10

Eustace Mullins – March 9, 1923– February 2, 2010

(Editor’s Note – Talk about conspiracy theorists. The Staunton Newsleader, Eustace Mullins hometown, printed an obituary calling him a White Supremacist yet when I clicked on the link to read it, gone. Poof. Scrub-a-dub-dub. Why? You know what, we already know the answer to that question so why bother. Small minds.)

Eustace Mullins came into my life less than a month ago. I’d never heard of him before a poster here at The T-Room encouraged me to watch an interview b/w him and a Mr. Piper. The blogger, JustMe, is a researcher who posts in-depth educational links here in the Opinion Section for others benefit. We’ve grown close over this last year and I proudly dedicate this post to her, my Sis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After watching the Eustace Mullins and Mr. Piper’s 10 Part series on YouTube (see below), I began to research more. What I’ve learned is this – his work touched on the con artists known as the elite of our country, his life was threatened numerous times, his character has been assassinated out of ignorance and that he is the Greatest Man of our Time. White supremacist? Give me a break. Simply because this American was intelligent enough to be able to differentiate between a Zionist and a Jew doesn’t make him a racist or an anti Semitist. All one needs to do is read is works to know he was neither a racist nor an anti Semitist. I’m not attempting to be a revisionist here. His words speak for themselves and the facts he’s compiled to educate you and me speak for themselves.  Full Story »

Well, once one takes the time to research it all you will arrive at the same place we have.  Alfred Lambremont Webre, Seattle Examiner, certainly spoke for us in his April 4, 2010 article ”U.S Attorney or district attorney can prosecute Bush, Cheney & Rumsfelf for murder on 9/11“.   Full Story »

The D’s are doing a great job distracting the public by ridiculing anyone who dare ask about Obama’s eligibility under Article II of the US Constitution. The questioning American Patriot has been labeled ”birthers” “right-wing crazies” “nut jobs”. Well, if you are one of those who agree with this hateful and distracting ridicule, allow this Constitutionalist to set you straight. The concern by 47% of Americans, and growing, is and always has been about our national security and the safety of the men and women who serve in our military.
