It seems that America loves rich pedophiles, or at least, doesn’t want to make them suffer. Jeffery Epstein, a billionaire hedge fund manager, allegedly had girls as young as 12 flown all around the world to satisfy his desires. He served a one year sentence in house arrest in his Palm Beach mansion with trips to go out allowed. He also was allowed to travel to his private island while under “arrest”.
Of course what might have helped is that some of the flights that were shipping the under age girls around for sexual favors also had other highly placed politicians on them.
In other words, it’s easy to get away with a crime when you have dirt on high level politicians.

There is a good movie called Bloody Sunday that you can watch online. Wikipedia has (in part) that it was something:
in which twenty-six unarmed civil rights protesters or bystanders were shot by the British Army Parachute Regiment during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march.
This is a good movie, which you can buy online. (thanks to Lew Rockwell for pointing out the movie).
[UPDATE]
Here are the other parts (Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10)Another good movie is Michael Collins (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13)

Today someone told me that I was “borderline” anti Semitic, because I mentioned that it was strange that I could see places like the American Thinker having articles that say self-defence is a basic right, and at the same time saying that Israel was perfectly justified in killing people in international waters (according the Christian Science Monitor).
I find it interesting that any critism of the policies of Israel is met with statements such as this. Here’s the problem with the whole thing, there are people (e.g. LC) who argue that the sole purpose of the blockade is to stop weapons from going to Gaza. Unfortunately if Israel wants to take responsibility for everything that goes in and out of Gaza, it is responsible for the health and welfare of the people as well, but alas Israel, like the United States, wants to have power without responsibility. And that is my problem. You can’t deny people food, shelter and medical care and then cry that you had to do it or they would hate you and attack you. It makes no sense, but people keep doing it (not just Israel either, just that no one accuses me of Anti-XXX if I talk about another country).
I am not arguing that any group of people deserve to have special rights that other people don’t have. Apparently that makes me “evil”.

I find it interesting that just as I was reading about the new Red Dawn movie (link), that has China winning an economic war against the United States, and then coming to “Help get you back on your feet”, that I also read an article by Dick Eastman denouncing as TRAITORS those Americans who have left the United States for various reasons and are working elsewhere.
I think that one could argue that the current despots who have seized control of the United States have forced many good people to leave the country of their birth, just as many other regimes elsewhere have. I know many people that have fought against the government to the point where the government won’t even leave them with $650/month to live on, but Dick Eastman would say continue to fight on, like Ward Dean, Irwin Schiff, Arthur Farnsworth, Rick Stanley and others who have gone down fighting to be forgotten.
I really understand the people who are shouting that if enough people rise up, then change will come, well America has stood up and choose their messiah, and if you think that the CRIMINAL convictions where 12 out 12 people voted to send people to jail for questioning the government about income taxes mean nothing, then you can keep telling people to go out and stop some bullets with their bodies.
Of course the real strange thing is that the people who are provoking others to fight the government tend to protect themselves, staying just on the safe side of the line, and calling the people who actually ACT weak and cowards. Maybe Hal Turner who claimed to be working for the FBI while inciting hatred is just one of many government assets.

According to an article at VoltaireNet.org, Obama got the peace prize for his work in turning Kenya back into a vassal state. Apparently Obama was sent there on one plane, at U.S. government expense, and another plane followed him with “retired” special ops officers who had bags of money. This was to counter the movement of Kenya towards China.
Obama actively campaigned for his cousin, and was supported by Madeline Albright (former Clinton Sec. of State) who was at that time the chairperson of the National Democratic Institute, which seems to be a CIA operation to “spread democracy”. For some reason, after Odinga lost the election text message spams were sent out inciting the people to violence. Albright came in, and then gave the show over to the Nowegian Olsa Center for Peace and Human rights.
In return for supporting Thorbjørn Jaglandfor the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, it’s alleged that he sheperaded the Obama nomination through.
Obviously this makes more sense than that it no longer matters what someone did, just how good they sound to give them a Nobel prize. Of course, the sounding good does explain the Al Gore getting the Nobel prize.

The U.S. Treasury does an annual gold audit report, unfortunately as has been widely reported, there are up to 600,000 ounces of tungsten-gold bars in existence, much of which the U.S. government is holding. What this means is that the value of gold could go very, very high, much higher than anyone has really realized. Any gold that is in large bars is suspect, leading the whole gold market to increasingly demand physical delivery of gold. Some reports indicate that the chinese uncovered that the gold originated from a United States entity.
Physical gold coins look like a really good investment right now, but then that’s just the sanity talking.

The Coakley people in Massachusetts were crying about the Democratic Poll workers who were trying to get rid of Scott Brown ballots by handing the filled out ballots to people to reuse. Of course it was claimed that this was proof of voter fraud when Coakley lost! Of course it was voter fraud, why would Scott Brown’s people try to discard the ballots that were cast by Scott Brown? Does that make any sense? In other words, who would have benefited from Scott Brown ballots being reused?

Some people might be aware of Obama’s executive order that gave Interpol diplomatic immunity, some people argue that Obama was forced to do so due to corruption in the government. Regardless of the WHY, the fact is that Interpol is not subject to U.S. law while operating in the United States, while this might be needed to “clean house”, there is a police force that no U.S. court has jurisdiction over operating in the United States, which means that Habeas Corpus (which has been gutted in any case) has been completely eliminated in the United States whenever Interpol wants to grab someone. The last president to do this was Lincoln.
While it should be obvious that our government is corrupt, and that something should be done about this, I don’t think that the long term outlook for American soveriegnty is good. In fact the editor of International Currency Review who claims that this is a good thing, also says that it was done so that a $47 TRILLION DOLLAR lien could be enforced by international interests (the editor of International Currency Review is British, and tends to support the interests of the British Royal family in my opinion) .
I don’t know whether Interpol being able to act freely in the United States is a good thing or not, since the reality is that there have long been that the American justice system is a cruel joke for most people, unless you are well connected politically, now it essentially doesn’t exist. But I do wonder, what court can you challenge the actions of Interpol in? Looking at the legal materials on the Interpol website, I see no court jurisdiction mentioned.
But it’s for our own good, so be happy!

Watch this video, and you will see how easy it is even with television cameras on, to override honest people in congress. That this happens when the cameras are rolling helps explain why America has been destroyed. This is how votes are handled in congress.
Watch, and weep for the lost republic.

You would think that the fact that police have finally identified a man who they “suspect he killed at least 30 women and raped many more” would be all over the news.
Unfortunately this a nonstory because this was an “african-american” (who has never been to Africa) who killed and raped mostly white women. It would be racist to mention that aspect of the story, just as it is racist to mention black on white crime (which is never a hate crime, it’s because “african americans” are discriminated against).
But then again it’s a “hate crime” to say things that the government doesn’t want you to say.

Personally, I didn’t like McCain and in no way should this be taken as wishing McCain won (as Egar Steele put it McCain might have made Bush look good). Rather this is more of a comment about what people believe in the “normal” or mainstream media, and how it contains false information many times.
I’ve heard many people state how stupid Palin is, many of whom I believe to be regular Fox News watchers. Well it turns out that Fox News was pumping out false information (e.g. lies) about Palin, at least according to the New York Times. Apparently it’s perfectly okay to create false information about someone if they are running for office and you don’t like them, in fact it can make you lots of money, and that’s okay, because after all Sarah Palin is a Republican, and let’s face it, treating Republicans as sub humans is fun and politically correct. In fact, groups go into churchs and make fun of the worshippers at their services and that’s still okay today.
And even after the Washington Post came out and admitted to bias, Fox News claimed there wasn’t any. This is the same Fox News that used to talk about the liberal media.
In other words, the media assumes (in my opinion correctly) that Americans are stupid “sheeple” that can be led this way and that, and for the most part the people don’t really care.
Another glaring example is the total apathy that people have about the fact that Hank Paulson, the United States Secretary of the Treasury and former CEO of Goldman Sachs, has reversed himself from what he said he was going to do with the money that Congress gave him. And why not, instead of the 250 Billion dollars that Congresswoman Schakowsky (who was reelected in spite of giving the fig leaf cover to the Treasury) claimed that Paulson would be limited to, Bloomberg has reported that some number around 2 TRILLION has been given out in emergency loans (with dodgy collateral) IN ADDITION TO the bailout money that congress rubber stamped. Of course the bailout is creeping closer to the 5 Trillion that I had said Bloomberg News had stated a month ago.
There is no reason to believe that the media is telling you the truth about the things that really matter, after all they are controlled by if not outright owned by the same entities that benefit from this theft of funds.
After all it’s commonly reported in international papers that the “Lessons from the Great Depression of the 1930s have not been learnt“. It’s because the same type of entities that created the conditions for the Great Depression get into power and then run away with all the money. This has happened throughout history and yet the people never learn. As Thomas Jefferson said:
The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.
Devvy Kidd thinks that this is an “Unprecedented Rape of the American People“, I disagree, this type of road to serfdom has existed in the past, and is a tried and true method to create an underclass throughout history. Create a dependency on a central system, and then call the loans. This system was spelled out in the Bible and used by Joseph to ENSLAVE the people. How is that for precedent?
Or maybe many of these “Christian Patriots” just don’t read their bibles in total?

It has been alleged by Henry Makow Ph.D, that Putin is some kind of puppet for a shadow government. Dr. Makow, points to certain blogs that are strung out over the internet as support for the statement that Putin and famous MI6 victim/former spy Richard Tomlinson were both Royal Arch Freemasons. It is interesting to note that the blog that Dr. Makow cites lists 1980 as the time when Putin and Tomlinson met in Jerusalem. That’s interesting because it’s amazing that Tomlinson was such a senior member of the establishment at the same time he was allegedly in school working on his A-levels (which got him accepted to Cambridge) (see his book that a synopsis of got him sent to maximum security prison). It’s interesting that Tomlison made the signed statement in his book in 2001 that “I have never even met or spoken to any officers or agents of Russian intelligence”. Everyone knows that Putin used to be KGB! It’s even stranger that Tomlinson claims in his book that he could barely understand (much less speak) Russian in 1992, while the aforementioned blog entry has Tomlinson acting as translator for Putin in 1980. Maybe the blog is correct and Tomlinson just is a total liar in his book.
Strange that the book is so different from the rambling blogs that are scattered around that purport to have some inside information about Tomlinson. It’s interesting that the blog has all sorts of links, but none to Tomlinson’s book.
That said, just because something is on a site that gets 10 million hits a month says that Putin was a mind controlled puppet of a British secret society based on some blogs somewhere doesn’t make it true. I don’t think that there is any evidence to support the statement (other than that Putin was KGB, but there would have to be evidence of the KGB being a British organization, beyond the rantings in a few blogs).
In closing, I don’t know if Putin is a puppet of some shadow government. Even if he was a mind controlled puppet as has been alleged, just as Tomlinson was able to break free from his (alleged) mind control, maybe Putin broke free from the same (alleged) mind control. The point is that anyone can make up anything on the internet and just because the same person (it seems) has created 20 different blogs, some of which are even readable, doesn’t make it true. I don’t think a blog written by someone who has an axe to grind but uses so many different sites (all linked together and hosted by blogspot.com, so it does nothing to protect them) should outweigh a book that has been claimed by MI6 to forever damage the security of Britan, unlike the book that was published by Stella Rimington telling of her being head of MI5 (which is probably full of lies, as it was allowed to be published and no one cared).
[As a side note, the Tomlinson story makes an interesting case for the danger of having "secret" courts with no real oversight, for having intelligence agencies that seem to just collect propaganda and package them as intelligence to meet goals, and punish people (asTomlinson was) for uncovering things that the political powers want to disappear. It appears that Tomlinson was marked to be eliminated from MI6 when he uncovered that the Tories were getting money from Karadzic (alleged war criminal) during the Bosian War (1993). The Tories were in power then, and Tomlinson was forced to destroy his notes after which his career went rapidly downhill.]

There is a big event going on near D.C. that happens to involve major world players. It also happens to be the most likely place that Clinton and Obama met, since the security was already set up for all the world leaders that are meeting there.
It seems likely that Obama will become the next president of the United States if he went to this event, and McCain did not.
It seems strange that a major meeting of (according to the Turkish Daly News, via PrisonPlanet):
The Bilderberg Group, an elite club of politicians, executives and intellectuals, held their 56th annual meeting in Chantilly, Virginia. This year’s meeting, which started Thursday and was due to end Sunday, deals mainly with “a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, U.S.-EU relations, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Islam,” according to the Centre Daily Times Web site.
goes unreported by the press in America. But then again, most people don’t want the news, they just want to look at the pretty colors and be entertained.

According to Haaretz.com, Prof. Shlomo Sand has written a book in which he contends:
In this work, the author attempts to prove that the Jews now living in Israel and other places in the world are not at all descendants of the ancient people who inhabited the Kingdom of Judea during the First and Second Temple period.
The professor goes on to state (in quotes):
….the chances that the Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Judaic people are much greater than the chances that you or I are its descendents. The first Zionists, up until the Arab Revolt [1936-9], knew that there had been no exiling, and that the Palestinians were descended from the inhabitants of the land.
Based on what happened with Professor Finklestien, I would expect Professor Sand to be quickly fired by the University of Tel Aviv (here is the contact information). Makes you wonder why the U.S. sending money to fund this University.

There are many people claiming that the all powerful CIA is behind the Tibet uprising. While this proposal has some plausibility, and I am sure that there are people in CIA that would privately like to take credit for it, I am leaning towards the explanation proffered by the EpochTimes:
LONDON—Britain’s GCHQ, the government communications agency that electronically monitors half the world from space, has confirmed the claim by the Dalai Lama that agents of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the PLA, posing as monks, triggered the riots that have left hundreds of Tibetans dead or injured.
Let’s face it. The CIA can’t find Osama bin Laden who needs dialysis. They can’t make up their minds about what was in Iraq, or what Iran is doing, but they can somehow create a massive movement in an area that China has signifigant resources in?
What nonsense. All these people running around claiming that the CIA is behind the violence in Tibet reach back 40 to 50 years ago to when the CIA still had some intelligent people working for it. Now the CIA is more about finding excuses than doing anything effective.
As former CIA employee Ray McGovern says (in relation to the Gulf of Tonkin incident):
By the afternoon of Aug. 4, the CIA’s expert analyst on North Vietnam (let’s call him “Tom”) had concluded that probably no one had fired on the U.S. ships. He included a paragraph to that effect in the item he wrote for the Current Intelligence Bulletin, which would be wired to the White House and other key agencies and appear in print the next morning.
And then something unique happened. The Director of the Office of Current Intelligence, a very senior officer whom Tom had never before seen, descended into the bowels of the agency to order the paragraph deleted. He explained:
“We’re not going to tell LBJ that now. He has already decided to bomb North Vietnam. We have to keep our lines open to the White House.”
The CIA has become more political over the last several years, and to think that they could have pulled something like this off, when they can’t find an old man living in a cave is ridiculous. The BBC might think that the CIA had a role in killing Kennedy, but that was in the United States where the CIA can get away with murder.

Before yesterday, I had no clue who Bill Dumas was. Then I got a press release from KST communications that Ron Paul’s campaign is behind some attacks on McCain’s record with the military, especially with regard to how McCain dealt with the issue of POWs that were not released.
Today I got a bunch of emails (KST Email 1, KST Email 2,KST Email 3) that show that KST was working with Bill Dumas, producer of the movie “Missing Presumed Dead“. Bill Dumas at some point was hired by the Ron Paul campaign as video director, and even though the emails I have from KST are between Kara Topolsky and Mr. Dumas, Kara claims that Lew Moore (Ron Paul’s campaign manager) approved this whole thing, whatever it is.
Whatever this campaign was supposed to do, it obviously failed. McCain is doing well, and has the support of his fellow CFR members.
I remember the Ron Paul campaign making other bad decisions, and I have to note that Bill Dumas did say (in one of the emails) apparently referring to Dr. Paul:
He just doesn’t believe in attacking other candidates. He will only respond to attacks on him.
It’s also considered political suicide for a candidate to attack McCain’s military record.
I don’t understand what is going on here. I talked with Joseph Becker who declined to comment, but he said that KST communications had different candidates up on their page for who they support, so the whole affair seems to have been at best a lapse in judgment. As I have said before, I was concerned that one the Ron Paul campaign got money it attracted people that are primarily driven by “what’s in it for me”, rather than because they actually support Dr. Paul, and this episode shows that all too clear.
[Update]
I missed this email (here)KST Email 4
Do you have any endorsements for Vets Against McCain? It would be good to get a press release out to that effect before Super Tuesday. Even if you need to use John Holland and Concerned Citizens For Known But Abandoned POW/MIAs. He may have the same issue as Patty concerning 501(c)3 status. I wonder, though, especially in Patty’s case, if they as individuals can endorse a political organization. For that matter, is VVAJM a political organization?
At any rate, let’s find out how we can get around this red tape. If necessary, I’ll ask a lawyer in my Meetup group or or campaign attorney.
Another point is, I believe there’s a video interview with Col. Hopper on Jerry’s site, so apparently that’s not a violation of non-profit laws.
We need to get moving on this before McCain completely runs away with the nomination.
I have to wonder how involved the campaign really was if Bill is saying that he might run it by a meetup group attorney OR the campaign attorney.
But heck that’s just me.

Now rumors are swirling of Ron Paul being behind the “Missing Presumed Dead” press release by KST Communications (see release here). This rumor comes in a supposed press release from KST Communications at eWorldWire that partially states:
- The Ron Paul 2008 Campaign hired California PR Firm KST Communications to issue claims against John McCain and make it look like the attacks were initiated from various veterans organizations, with the intent of remaining unassociated with the Ron Paul 2008 Campaign.
A press release was issued on Jan 18, 2008 in regards to the Documentary “Missing Presumed Dead” which points the finger directly at McCain for blocking POW investigations.
The strange thing about this is why did the Ron Paul campaign hire a firm that supports McCain to attack McCain? See the image below (taken 4/7/08)
I mean there are so many people with well done YouTube videos about Ron Paul, you would think that the Ron Paul campaign would be able to find someone who really supports him, rather than just another neocon masquerading as a conservative.
It seems that Ron Paul may have some people working for him who are in this for the money, which is understandable, rather than because they actually support him.
The contact information for KST is (I called before I wrote this, but no one answered)
CONTACT:
Kara Topolsky
KST Communications
P.O. Box 1556
Oroville, CA 95965
PHONE. (530) 315-9078There is also an email address:

I wonder how this will play out. It will probably get more coverage than how many delegates Ron Paul has.

An Army Sargent has been demoted for disloyalty according to this note:
Since joining the Army in 1987, he had risen to the rank of sergeant first class, serving in both Gulf Wars, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Korea. He ended up with shrapnel scars and a Purple Heart and, back in the U.S. after his last tour in Iraq, a job as intelligence analyst at Fort Sam Houston.
He couldn’t have foreseen that one e-mail could derail his career and put him on his way out of the Army. One e-mail, speculating about events that millions of people have questioned for the last six years, was all it took…
Sgt. Buswell wants to know: What really happened on 9/11? And he said so in his e-mail. In the few paragraphs of that August 2006 message — a reply not to someone outside the service, but to other soldiers — Buswell wrote that he thought the official report of what happened that day at the Pentagon, and in the Pennsylvania crash of United Airlines Flight 93, was full of errors and unanswered questions.
I guess this is the new don’t ask, because we won’t tell you policy that the military has.

Supposedly a lot of people in Nevada are being given wrong information on where to vote by the Nevada Republican party. The Independent American Party reports:
I have been having lots of calls because the State Leadership has sent out wrong polling place cards. Then because of these erroneous cards which were sent out with polling places that were wrong, I received an automated telephone call yesterday, 1-15-08, and it sounded like Jackie Kaiser’s (from Leadership) voice. This woman said the card that I received in the mail from the Republican Party was wrong and that my polling place was REED HIGH SCHOOL in SPARKS, WASHOE CO! Of course my correct polling place is still the Hillside School IN STOREY CO! This is extremely frustrating. What if you just called all of my Storey Co. people and told them the wrong polling place? In my opinion that is (accidentally) manipulating the people’s right to vote….THAT IS SERIOUS! I STRONGLY OBJECT!
I also received a call from the Comstock Chronical, one of the Storey Co. media, that the Gazette Journal newspaper 1-15-08, indicated that Storey County had three polling places. It DOES NOT! It has TWO POLLING PLACES—the Senior Center in Virginia City for the Highlands and everything south; and in the north, the Hillside Elementary School in Lockwood for the “River District”. What is the State Leadership going to do about this error?
I’ve also heard that certain religious groups are being disenfranchised by the new rules. It wouldn’t have to do with “Nevada Republican Leaders” who support Romney, would it?

According to this post at the Daily Paul:
I was the first voter, I circled in Ron Paul and put my ballot into the machine. Spit it right back out and said INVALID BALLOT.
So how many more countries do we need to bring this form of “democracy” to? Electronic voting machines have known problems, but politicians constantly blame the voters.
