US is Busted, Broke
Borrowing money for jobs...
There is no money in the U.S. Treasury. As I write this column, the congressionally created "national debt" is nearly $8 trillion. Every penny of that $286.5 billion dollar transportation bill will have to be borrowed from the privately owned central bank, deceptively called the "Federal" Reserve. In other words, Congress is spending only debt which creates more debt out of thin air, further enslaving all of us to enrich the bankers beyond imagination.

Funding the Red Cross ?
...The money was going towards bombing broken backed third world countries like Afghanistan and setting up surveillance cameras and expanding the police state in US cities, and not towards helping them rebuild their lives.

Boycott Saudis Oil..
Joseph Barrett writes
The Saudis are boycotting American goods.
We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil.
These companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell........................... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels Amoco...........................62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $55-$60 a barrel).
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil: Citgo......................0 barrels
Sunoco..................0 barrels
Sunoco..................0 barrels
Conoco..................0 barrels
Sinclair.................0 barrels
BP/Phillips...........0 barrels
Hess.......................0 barrels
ARCO.....................0 barrels

IRAN Wins BushCo War ?
"The real long-term geopolitical winner of the 'war on terror' could be Iran," concluded a September 2004 report by the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Britain's most influential foreign policy think-tank. "The Iranians have so much control over what happens in Iraq," "The United States is only beginning to realize this."

The state's debt increased by 13 percent in the last three years, to $12.7 billion. That averages to about $3,600 for each Connecticut resident, ranking the state No. 1 in average debt per person by Moody's Investor Service. Connecticut also outpaced other states in the rate of rising tax-supported debt, which increased nationwide by 111/2 percent, according to Moody's.

Connecticut and the Greater Good
The People Speak on rights to property..TODAY
The Connecticut General Assembly is considering changes to the state's eminent domain laws that give very broad powers to governments to seize private property for someone else’s private economic development. This is seen as for the “greater good” as that development may generate greater income for the municipality.

A Statement from Connecticut Taxpayers
Dear People of Connecticut, Governor Rell, and all Officials and Public Servants:
We deeply regret not being able to attend this very important meeting today at the Connecticut General Assembly, however I have been assured by solid citizens; people of integrity, morally and ethically correct .....this letter would be read at the respective cited public hearing today, for our fundamental freedom... the rights to property which are under siege, and curtailed by members of our local, State and Federal jurisdictions of government.
CT media is guilty of condoning government officials who fail to operate in good faith, for the people they serve, and because of this failure by the press, officials are not held accountable to the constituency when they should. A credibility gap emerges separating, those who manage the affairs of the government, from those who have a stake in this State, the property owners.
Certain CT property owners are becoming targets and subject to abusive, corrupt police powers. Even former candidate for governor, Bill Curry remarked, reported by the Hartford Courant in 2004, he said: Governor Rowland politicized Connecticut police.
Let me explain how this works in Naugatuck, Connecticut and how public officials permit and support an abusive policy that relates to the economic development scheme perpetrated against the private property owners.
In Naugatuck, an alarming trend of police harassment, retaliation, by police against resident property owners has developed ....for speaking at public forums, running for public office, or for just being a good citizen taxpayer... ...because certain property owners, don't support politriks of the morally depraved and ethically challenged officials and the morally dim, view the resident-taxpayers as obstacles, or adversaries to their own agendas.
Our personal experiences with the local police department of Naugatuck, has been sheer abuse and corruption of power. The NPD false arrest property owners, favoring known criminals over the public safety of the community. I was false arrested by false police reports, with bad warrants from a State Court.
My family, and property, were personally under attack after certain members of the Naugatuck Economic Development Commission, and local politicians determined and took action after a feasibility study, indicated our property was vital for… their self-enrichment.
We have come under lawless assault by the locals: who smeared, demonized and criminalized our private property, and our character. We were victims of crime, and we were arrested. This was all planned and orchestrated by locals to build a file and record of false police reports to meet the standard of crime and blight, for purposes of enrichment schemes.…
This is nothing new, and familiar to many representatives here today, familiar with the troubling, dark side of the Naugatuck police, and the abuse of power against the property owners of Naugatuck by local instigator- officials. Recently, it was reported, the Town of Naugtauck, body politriks liquidated real estate that was given as a gift to a known associate of former Governor Rowland, a known Mr. Matthews. This economic opportunity gift came by way of a grant from the State of Connecticut for purposes of economic development for the community, the Region, and it failed...
Hence, the officials, have decided to sell off some of the gifted parcel….and who realizes the profit? Shouldn't any profit from the gift -granted real estate be returned, refunded to the State, not the private purse?
Bond money was used for consideration of this transfer, and at a very high inflated value…the appraisal details need to be disclosed in this type of transaction to the public, and not be unavailable which is an on-going, strain of FOIA abuse also in Naugatuck.
Since the details of this realty transfer is not detailed thoroughly, we are left with speculation and suspicion, and the re-payment of the bond money will be charged and paid in full by the taxpayers of Naugatuck.
Who benefited on our backs, with our dollars?
Is this the application of the law, of private property taken for private use?
When Ex- Governor Rowland himself speculated in Naugatuck in a hushed land deal, prior to his abdication from Office...he profited also. The details of this economic development are vague also in the matter of public interest.…
Today Naugatuck is faced with more and bigger promises of economic development, by way of a multi-million dollar bond, a promise to be paid by the taxpayers... We are concerned about the secrecy, closed meetings, and failure to respond in detail about the Naugatuck Economic Commission and this development we the taxpayers are funding. .
Questions for Governor Rell, for pubic hearing:
Why were we targeted, and persecuted and run out of our property by the Naugatuck Police Department, who protected the criminal element and manufactured numerous false police reports against us, and our property between 2001 and 2004 after it was announced that our property was located at the second most valuable intersection in Naugatuck at a public meeting?
Why did certain members of the Naugatuck Economic Development Commission and the local Authority take action or engage in activity which led to my false arrest not once but twice when I was a victim of violent crime on my property?
According to a development plan in Naugatuck, illustrated on the Internet, our home doesn't exist anymore.
Why is our property portrayed as high-rise buildings?
Self-enrichment schemes promoted by public officials should be outlawed, it is the root of human rights abuse, and at the very heart of why we are here today in Connecticut. It is looting, plundering of the private sector, and illegal transfer of wealth by State agents for personal private gain.
We challenge anyone in this chamber today to live, and survive what was done to myself, and my husband, a dis-abled Veteran of the Viet Nam War, sustained in Naugatuck Connecticut in our home, on our private property, when public officials decide to create wealth by taking your private property, the sacred Earth.
The decision rendered in Kelo v. City of New London is outrageous judicial activism, and needs to be rendered null and void, in the State of Connecticut.

Bush Attack on Anti-War Families
Anti-War Families Dangerous Isolationists

...'Bush has never adequately explained why US troops are dying in Iraq, pointing out that the weapons of mass destruction he made central to the public case for war were never found."
Twisted BushCo Logic on Iraq
...killing and being killed in a war of careless choice. They are the "pawns" in Bushes off base "war on terror". We are creating and attracting more opponents in Iraq than we can kill or capture. Cheney said something yesterday like "we are spreading the blessings of liberty". These are just words. Words to deflect from the truth.
US Base Closure RIGGED
He said Rumsfeld's team used the base realignment process to achieve other goals, specifically, unrelated real estate management goals. Congress intended the base-closing procedures to focus on one issue: efficiency -- or, in Pentagon jargon, "military value."
"In simple terms, the military value model was rigged," Warner said.
"In simple terms, the military value model was rigged," Warner said.
BUSH Misleads the World
The speech by President Bush also met with sharp criticism from the European daily papers. The British Independent said that there was much in Bush’s speech that was objectionable, and “not only the consciously misleading connection made between the September 11 attacks and Iraq.”
BushCo Profiles for Bucks-OK
The Bush administration supports racial profiling -- as long as it's lining the pockets of the right people. Bean-counting government bureaucrats are free to take race, ethnicity and gender into account when doling out public funds to non-white-male contractors.
The Profile of aTerrorist
...it is crucial that police, fire and emergency medical personnel take notice of their surroundings, and be aware of 'vagrants' who seem out of place or unfamiliar," said the message, distributed via e-mail to some federal employees in Washington by the U.S. Attorney's office.
Bush Authographs Bibles
Bush ... continued to shake hands and draw his autograph on photographs, papers and even a Bible that was passed his way.
The War Industry Biz
We know that wars are manufactured to bring profits to the tables of multi-national corporations, to control natural resources, and to control people. We know that illegal drug trades fund wars and weapons, and are tied to the teeth to governments. We know that multi-national corporations control all mass media outlets –

Reagan's Bloody Legacy of Terror

And he proudly funneled large-scale support to governments aligned with death squads murdering thousands more in Guatemala and El Salvador.

UK Plunges to 3rd World OutPost
There appears however, to be quite a large number of people unable to speak or read English, and over the years this has increased. In recent years there has also been a great number of asylum seekers entering the UK. Many have come to the city where I live. Where once there was employment, the Black Country exists no more. There are no large factories offering employment. Many people stand on street corners and benches trying to fill their time with nothing to do. Most do not speak English.”

“We are aggressively exporting our unemployed to the United States,” said Fox. “Our guidebook for emigrants is now in its 12th printing.

I tell you, we will retake the land stolen from us by the gringo President Polk.”
The Indian Legacy Stolen

The letter, supposedly written to a congressman, complained that Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Haitians, Middle Easterners and others should not be allowed to stay in the country.

Un-Patriot's Act for Nazi Police State
Now Americans are presumed to be guilty of wrongdoing and mechanisms are in place to begin the process of proving it; and, furthermore, the discovery portion of this process may now be done under cover of darkness and secrecy. Gone is the presumption of innocence. Under the Patriot Act, gone is the right to an attorney. Gone is the right to habeas corpus. Gone is the right to a speedy trial. Gone is the right to be secure in your papers and effects. The Patriot Act is turning America into a Nazi-style police state.

We Get Anonymous E-mail…Hind-Sight Vision circa 1987:
At a lecture the other day in class they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration. There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!
He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"
Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."
The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"
"No, sir," continued Ollie.
"No? And why not?" the senator asked.
"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."
"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"
"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.
"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered.
"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.
"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.
By the way, that senator was Al Gore

"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.
By the way, that senator was Al Gore

Grief Speaks in Crawford
'THE BIGGEST TERRORIST IN THE WORLD IS GEORGE W. BUSH'
"They’re a bunch of fucking hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration.
"They’re a bunch of fucking hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration.
In the Kingdom of the Blind
"Israel is one of Washington’s main partners in crime in the Middle East.... While claiming without any evidence that Tehran is secretly building nuclear weapons... Israel has refused to sign the NPT, has barred inspection of its nuclear facilities and has covertly built atomic weapons."
Pathos in Dean's Message
" Does it make sense politically to tell Americans that more than 1,800 troops have died to make life worse for half of Iraq's population?"
Plame-Gate Analysis
"simply the fact that there are "unanswered questions" should not be cause to condemn a woman who is now spending her 44th night in jail"
Feral Judges are like Catch-22
"Judicial activism, after all, is the practice of judges ignoring the law and deciding cases based on their personal political views. With the federal judiciary focused more on legislating social policy than upholding the rule of law, Americans find themselves increasingly governed by men they did not elect and cannot remove from office"
The Beast is an Official from Government
“that in some of the bestselling books in history, the evangelical science-fiction books about the Messiah and Armageddon and so on, the Secretary- General of the UN quite often appears as the Antichrist?”
Government Intrusion in Schools
"The U.N. Agenda 21 has also called for total intrusion into schools and children lives. No more religion, no more individuality, no more real education, no more real grades, no more real teaching, no more teacher respect for parents, and no more truth from teachers or principals. This sounds very familiar and very political to me..... the stage is being set for you to lose physical custody of your children"
The Senior Constituents
"And seniors don't just want things. More times than not, they need them. Consequently, elected officials need the seniors"
We Get E-mail...
Kathy McKee, AZ Director / Founder PAN notes:
JUDGE RICHARDSON (immigration judge who let off the "Wilson Four" students who should have been deported) 200 E. Mitchell Drive Phoenix, AZ 85012 And/or write a letter of complaint or call about Judge Richardson's constant granting of asylum (Phoenix has one of the highest asylum granting rates in the country, thanks to Judge Richardson – even higher than San Francisco's!) and totally ignoring relevant laws in letting off the Wilson Four instead of deporting them as required by law, to:
Kevin Rooney, Director Executive Office for Immigration Review5107 Leesburg Pike, Suite 2600Falls Church, Virginia 22041 Phone: 703-305-0289 Fax: 703-605-0365
Remember: Judge Richardson is just an administrative law judge, a hired employee – not a federally appointed judge with a lifetime appointment. He has shown his contempt for ICE and the law, and his strong bias for illegal aliens and asylum seekers. Let's direct our frustration and anger to where it can do some good. Also, since ICE's appeal of this crap decision will likely take 18 months, please don't let Richardson off easy. Keep writing letters to the editors of local newspapers and calling in to talk shows about him.

AZ Attorney General Blames Legislature
for Mexi- high crime in State..
Lawmakers have also failed to adequately fund the state police and prisons, says Terry Goddard, the state attorney general. "And I'm afraid what we're seeing is a reflection of that."

US Attorney Got Smokin' Gun
on Sheriff Joke Arpaio... where criminal acts by Deputy leads to pay hike and promotion
"after the SEC filed suit, Arpaio amazingly promoted Driving Hawk to the supervisor's position in internal affairs. Anybody who has watched a police drama on TV knows that this is the division that investigates bad cops. With that promotion came a pay raise. What's more, as part of his new duties, Arpaio's confidant -- who, I repeat, was under investigation for violating U.S. securities laws -- was put in charge of MCSO financial audits! "

The Prop. 200 AZ Voter Rule
No wonder so many illegals were voting in AZ...Arizonans who can't produce identification will be unable to cast a provisional ballot. Under the old rules, voters whose names were left off the roster in their voting district were allowed to cast a provisional ballot without providing identification. Workers verified the votes before they were counted.
When the Majority Speaks
The duly elected and selected public servants shall listen...
Armchair activism...just sign and send the petition for the rolling Peace-ful rebellion by protestors against the illegal War in Iraq.

Cindy: BushCo's Nemesis
"The reason she is such a threat to Bush is that she claims the "authority of the dead" as a justification for peace. So do an increasing number of Gold Star mothers and military families and Iraq veterans. What is striking so far is that the Bush operatives have been unable to organize a committee of pro-war families who lost sons or daughters in the war"
Invade and Conquer
"Mexico enforces their immigration laws. Outrageously, our government deliberately continues to leave our country wide-open to the Mexican invasion plan. A repeatedly declared manifesto to overrun America, in a human 'tsunami-like' wave after wave of its poorest citizens... Mexico is maliciously manipulating our, give-away 'free' society..... they are coming here to TAKE OVER AMERICA!"
Occupied America
"Arrogantly sauntering into this mix is Laura Westby (email her), the newly-hired Senior Pastor of the First Congregational Church of Danbury, Connecticut.
In a July 31 letter to the Danbury News-Times, Rev. Westby proclaimed that people who oppose illegal immigration should not be allowed access to the press"

Harvard U to Study Life's Mystery
"Start with a dogmatic assertion, then declare that earlier conditions MUST have been whatever is needed to support the dogmatic preconception"
Roberts Covered for Abu Al
"Roberts met with Gonzales on April 1, six days before hearing oral arguments in the case, which resulted in a unanimous decision in favor of the administration"
The Original Dirty Old Man...
"Once upon a time there was another despotic, dictatorial and - in his case - "degenerate" top government official. You got it! That old bastard, J. Edgar Hoover, whose much feared "sex files" were used to blackmail many a senator and even President. Hoover was reputed to be a self-loathing homosexual and ugly transvestite"
Military Blocked Terror files
"I would implore the 9/11 commission to support a follow-on investigation to ascertain what the real truth is," Colonel Shaffer said in the interview this week. "I do believe the 9/11 commission should have done that job: figuring out what went wrong with Able Danger."
Blame BushCo
"Bush and Cheney ignored our concerns. Instead of building a solid case and bipartisan political consensus, they bullied and lied to Congress and the UN to scam us into this unwinnable war. Who can blame them? They work for ExxonMobil and Halliburton, not the American people. But they, not us, broke Iraq. It can't be fixed, it's not our fault and it's not our problem. There's no reason to relinquish our creature comforts to back their grubby little oil grab"
Dirty Drug Cops Busted
Operation Tarnished Shield," a three-year effort by federal and state authorities to "root out corruption" in this Upper Cumberland Plateau city, also had resulted in the arrest of two former law enforcement officers.
Stopped in the Name of Love
"authorities say a former prison nurse shot and killed a guard to free her inmate husband, state correction officials drafted a report calling for an aggressive and comprehensive effort to combat "the rising number of employee/inmate relationships occurring at the facilities."
Hot Kids Get MOM Arrested
Kids baked in heat with cookies...

Twins in Fly Suites Too
"I think a White House reporter should ask the president: " President Bush, if your own two daughters won't enlist, how can you expect anyone else's children to join the military?"
When Invasion is NOT a Show of Arms
"Invasion; not with force of arms, but by immigration. It's easy and fun and everyone who has the cajones (I'll explain that further in a moment) can do it"
