Finally, Some Hope for All Humanity

My name is Corie Johnson and I am Stealth Lesbian. My dear partner Kris Abney, owner of the Classic Dykes web site very kindly developed the space as a place were I could vent and voice some warnings regarding the wealth of information I had discovered in the U.S. National Archives and the British War Museum in regard to U.S. corporations funding Nazi Germany in WWII, with particular reference to the Bush family profiting directly from Auschwitz concentration camp. I discovered the information pertaining to the Bush WWII involvement, and a Mother Jones article on the Bush Savings and Loan rip off orchestrated by Neil Bush, and well, shortly after that I was pretty depressed. Clearly this family can operate beneath the law with impunity and has for decades, as have a number of American corporations, whose legacy stretches back over every war where they have distinguished themselves by arming both sides.


Kate Clinton, comedian of renown, once said, "We lesbians are invisible in this culture, so I figure then ...if they can't see us ...let's just do whatever the fuck we want." THUS was born the Stealth Lesbian reporter
who flew about the country reporting on the unvetted

Bush crime syndicate who currently occupy the White House and will likely slink off to their hectacres of land purchased in Paraguay with (there is 9 BILLION missing from Iraq reconstruction, just to name one incident) taxpayers money embezzled over the years from one financial scam after another.





HOWEVER having said all that, last night for the first time since John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy, were gunned down by the dark forces within the USA who have controlled the country for all these years since - I dared to hope. I sat and heard a U. S. President-elect include me, my people, in his speech yes indeed I distinctly heard, "whether you are straight or gay, your time has come, the change you have longed for has come - and you have made it happen."








There are some among us who still doubt and a part of me still does too, but for today, for the present moment, I want to reach out my hand to you, and you, and you - and say, "let's hope together, let's take back our lives, our beliefs, our values and our love for all humanity, because we can."





Thank you President-elect Obama, that skinny little boy with the greatest smile in the world grew up to the be the grandson every woman dreams of having. You have reminded us all that black or white, gay or straight, we each have a responsibility between ourselves and our maker, a higher calling, - we have so longed to move to higher ground, and you have brought just the right mix of energy and light to lead us past the bogs. God speed dear man, your light has been long awaited and we are eager to get going.

So Stealth Lesbian is going into retirement, knowing that should the time come again when the dark forces exceed the light and our people become invisible, that the spirit of Kate Clinton's "Stealth Lesbian" will work to bring the the light back to the land.
(Molly Ivins will come back to haunt y'all!)

I told Kris last night that either way the evening worked out I'd likely be in tears. If McCain /
Pilan won - I would weep in abject sorrow for the entire planet, and if Obama won, well "I'd cry for happy." Actually I've been "crying for happy" off and on for most of today, and everyone I see seems to tear up and do the same. To finally see someone elected to office who has a profound intellect, a calm, balanced demeanor, integrity, character and an aspiration to lead that goes well beyond personal power and greed - well, that is something. Finally some hope, for all humanity.

Who "They" Are

They” seem literally to be able to get away with murder. “They” increase taxes, send our sons and daughters to die in wars that do not benefit our country. “They” seem above our reach, out of sight, frustratingly nebulous when it comes to taking action against “them.” No one seems able to clearly identify who “they” are. It is a situation that has pertained for decades. During the course of this book, we shall identify the mysterious “they” and then, after that, it is up to the people to remedy their situation.

Pictured above is Richard Perle — former assistant Secretary of War, chairman War Policy Board, and PNAC member; “dual citizen” of US and Israel; Zionist; allegedly gave $100,000 to head of Pakistan’s ISI, Mahmoud Ahmad; nicknamed “Prince of Darkness”



Condi Rice — National Security Adviser on 9-11; promoted to Secretary of State; lied to 9-11 Omission Commission while under oath














Karl Rove — Bush’s top strategist, known as “Bush’s Brain”; America’s Joseph Goebbels; was behind the campaign to oust Georgia Representative Cynthia McKinney who was the first nationally-known politician to question Bush’s role in 9-11; in June 2005, said,

“Conservatives saw the savagery of 9-11 in the attacks and prepared for war, liberals saw the savagery of the 9-11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers”






This is the toughest part for the uninitiated to understand. The people who planned and executed the treasonous, heinous crimes of 9-11 are largely drawn from a handful of people known as NeoCons. Many of these are current or former members of PNAC (Project for the New American Century). Many are disciples of Leo Strauss, a German-born, fascistic, political philosopher who taught at the University of Chicago. Strauss thought that the average person was too stupid to decide what is in their best interest and that a ruling elite should govern all of humanity.
Taking a long-term perspective, 9-11 was conceived as a “stepping stone” to eventually enable the creation of a New World Order (NWO), the ultimate goal of the ruling elite — one global, fascistic, police state in perpetual war against an unseen enemy… terrorism.
There were also several short-term objectives of 9-11: to push the USA Patriot Act through a compliant and complicit Congress; to declare war on raq;Afghanistan and Iraq and to create a “siege mentality” in the USA and around the world; to eliminate the Constitution and in doing so eliminate Constitutional Rights and civil liberties; to dramatically increase military and “security” spending; to further divide the country; to rapidly militarize local police; to set the stage for the next “9-11”; and, ultimately, to prepare for martial law.

Know their faces and understand that John McCain's entire platform is a replica of the Neo Cons who have brought us to the precipice.

Know their names that we might stop the spread of fascism in our midst.

When you see their faces on your TV know that these are plants in the media projecting the propaganda of the corrupt gang that got us here.

Shine light on them, they shrivel in the light of truth, justice and real freedom.

Refuse their hopeless, selfish ignorance that preys on fear, and dances on the graves of the brave who have died for their greed, cloaked in a ridiculus religion of hatred and money laundering.

Enough! No longer will these sanctimonious, lying, cheating, narrow minded cretins rule our lives. We will take back our air waves along with our natural resources and restore some character, integrity and honesty to our respective countries, shortly after we incaracerate or ship the Bush barbarians to their new found home at GITMO. Wherein we will accomodate them with nonstop music, John Ashcroft singing, "Let the Eagle Soar", an OLD TESTAMENT bible the only reading material, and the photographs of all their torture victims on their cell walls. PLUS A QUOTE FROM DACHAU Concentration Camp.

"Those Who Do Not Know Their History are Condemned to Repeat It"

That is if there is an American legal system that processes the criminal of the religious right and the Bush crime family?

Who Vetted Bush ? Harper?

AS we watch the American media compare a factual reminder from history about the McCain involvement in DEregulation that caused him to be charged as part of the Keating Five...to outright lies and smears from the McCain campaign, it is readily apparent that American media don't know the difference between a fact and smear. They have for so long been sitting reading the feed from Associated Press they no longer know how to do the how, what, where, why, when and by whom that is required of a professional journalist with an iota of personal integrity. So as they bleat on about the grueling vetting that "Obama" must go through...the thought occurred to me - who vetted Bush, Cheney or for that matter our cash and carry conservative, homeboy (for the Bush team) "Steve"Harper.




Can you imagine if Obama had the Nazi appeasing, enemy trading past and present of the Bush crime family. Don't you think that people would like to know that the Bush clan has traded with BOTH sides in every war, and worked extensively with Nazis smuggled out by the VATICAN..to work with the American CIA.
Knowing your dark side is as important as knowing your light side..otherwise you clearly have no control over the darkness.

i.e. It's in the GENES... (this occurred to me after both CNN and MSNBC tried to infer that Chicago had a tremendous violence problem because of the violence in the black community..and was violence genetic? I don't know but genocide sure seems to be genetic...with one family in particular just producing one monster after another).



The Bush Crime Family Tree

George Walker, GW's great-grandfather, set up the takeover of the Hamburg-America Line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the United States. In Germany, I.G. Farben was most famous for putting the gas in gas chambers; it was the producer of Zyklon B and other gasses used on victims of the Holocaust. The Bush family was not unaware of the nature of their investment partners. They hired Allen Dulles, the future head of the CIA, to hide the funds they were making from Nazi investments and the funds they were sending to Nazi Germany, rather than divest. It was only in 1942, when the government seized Union Banking Company assets under the Trading With The Enemy Act, that George Walker and Prescott Bush stopped pumping money into Hitler's regime. (1)

Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather. According to classified documents from Dutch intelligence and US government archives, President George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush made considerable profits off Auschwitz slave labor. In fact, President Bush himself is an heir to these profits from the holocaust which were placed in a blind trust in 1980 by his father, former president George Herbert Walker Bush. (2) On the 20th of October, the government commenced action against the company under the trading with the enemy act. (3) After the seizures in late 1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen failed to divest himself of more than a dozen "enemy national" relationships that continued until as late as 1951, newly-discovered U.S. government documents reveal. (4) In 1952, Prescott Bush was elected to the U.S. Senate, with no press accounts about his well-concealed Nazi past.(5)



George Herbert Walker Bush, the presidents father. Bush, as director of the CIA, had funneled enormous amounts of cash to drug runners including Manuel Noriega and helped in the destabilization (terrorizing) of Argentina. Bush utilized his own connections to help fund drug runners from Laos to Panama. Most shocking was the so-called "cocaine coup" in Bolivia in June 1980, masterminded by fugitive Nazi Klaus Barbie, "The Butcher Of Lyons." Barbie, who had been previously secreted in Latin America by the CIA, began working closely with the Argentines and used drug money to finance a neo-Nazi cabal, one that succeeded in overthrowing the government. The troops swept through the capital wearing Nazi armbands, according to former DEA agent Mike Levine. George H.W. Bush later facilitated the Iran-contra affair, employing many of the same methods: secretly selling Central American cocaine in America and weapons to Iran while using the profits to fund the contras and to overthrow democratically elected socialists in Central America.(6) as the head of the CIA and later as Vice President, toppled democratically elected regimes in South and Central America and began propping up a dictator by the name of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Although forbidden by congress to do so, he continued to sell chemical and biological weapons to Saddam even after he used them on villages of innocent civilians. A decade later The United States had to go to war against him and the Bush family again, made millions from it.
Jonathan J. Bush, the Presidents uncle. Jonathan Bush's "Pioneer Profile" in "George W. Bush's $100,000 Club" cites him as the "head" of the Riggs Investment Management Co.; "Bush’s uncle Jonathan ... founded its subsidiary, J. Bush & Co., of which he is chair. He also is an ex-chair of the New York Republican State Finance Committee. Bush credits the investors sent his way by this banker uncle as a key to his 'success' in the Texas oil industry in the early ‘80s." (17)
Jonathan J. Bush, is a top executive at Riggs Bank, which this week agreed to pay a record $25 million in civil fines for violations of law intended to thwart money laundering. Jonathan Bush, who is a major fundraiser for his nephew, was appointed in 2000 to run Riggs Investment Management Co. His association with Riggs began when he headed J. Bush & Co., a New Haven, Conn., company he created in 1970 and built to offer advice on money management. (18)

Stephen Harper, ..following the Bush economic plan (just wait until AFTER the election and then find out there is NO SURPLUS). Interesting how the name Thyssen from Nazi Germany keeps showing up in direct affiliation to Canadian conservatives today. Gosh Peter McKay, our Defense Minister, ever keen to boost military industrial contracts was sent to Germany as a young man to "train" at their German facility. Fascinating links that are in parallel to the fascist families of America who declared war on their own country some time ago.
While former Prime Minister of Canada, Brian Mulroney received $350,000 in cash, in a bag, in a hotel room from Thyssen's agent, Schreiber.
The AIR BUS deal just happened to be on the table at the same time. WHEN IS THE PUBLIC INQUIRY and WHY WAS IT DELAYED UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION.

The RCMP raided the office of the Conservative party in regard to the cash and carry scam
they ran in the last election and why is that not front and center in our lame news? Passionate Eye, Fifth Estate, and our comedy shows always deliver
the satire required in this newsless society, if Harper cancels them - kiss the last vestiages of "news" goodbye.

Perhaps the most cumulative effect of American (Bush, Cheney, Abramoff, Wall Street) lying and the perpetual piety of the prevarication is the complete loss of faith in America as a country. The religion they profess to worship appears a cruel, crusade for oil mongers and war profiteers, draping themselves in Jesus to hide the lack of conscience and visible psychopathy that allows them to repeat this history again and again and again. (i.e. witness Tom Delay's slave colonies in the Marianas that go unmentioned as MSNBC staff grovel over his very presence. Women suffer forced abortions, and virtual slavery, while the clothing they produce says "made in the USA"..brought to you by the right wing "Christians" of the RNC party )

Congress, Bush and the money changers can throw money at the market until hell freezes over but as long as you have crooks running the country - there is no confidence, and there most certainly is no confidence in the American legal system, the seat of placed power that appointed them in the first place.

In order to restore confidence in America - vet (then arrest) Bush and Cheney,
then start with the RNC congress that gave them dictatorial powers and examine who all stood down for 911. It is not much but it would tell the world there is at least an intention to restore real democracy, real accountablity and a viable legal system. ANY appointments made by Bush to the bench should be revoked, he is a criminal bent on the destruction of the United States of America.

Finally, we need not look further than Australia and the word for word plagarized speech of John Howard to see the Neo Con connections to Bush and the goosestepping obedience offered up by Prime Ministers who are nothing but country managers for the Bush crime family.

Stephen Harper has ruled Canada as if he had a sweeping majority (38% at his high point) and a mandate to be king, when in fact he is only in office because of some illegal financial manipulations made by his party and the fact that the LEFT vote is split three ways. So we wind up being ruled by a military industrial hack who would sell Canada for a song if he could win some brownie points with the Bush boys. (Run a search under Danny Williams and Stephen Harper to see what I mean) This is a global crime ring and needs to be treated that way.
Harper has signed agreements to merge Canada with the USA and Mexico, outside the guidelines or bounds of our elected representatives in parliament. He has passed off 450 MILLION dollars of the softwood lumber deal to a slush fund for Bush that can be used any way Bush sees fit.
While those funds could have been given to our workers in softwood lumber for retraining in green trades it has instead gone to the greed trade to the south, which Steve wants so badly to emulate.

Remembering Those Who Got Us Here

Let's bring the troops home to arrest and prosecute Terror INC. and the boundless, devoid of conscience war machine called greed that drives them. Anyone remember the infamous,

The Council for National Policy, which is loaded with "the Family" (right wing religious mafia) PLACED Palin on the Republican Guard ticket.
She is a woman..that much is true. Other than that she is a misogynist whose platform is further right than Jesse Helmes. (double click image to enlarge)







Apparently its okay for George Bush to take this nation to war on a lie, to be responsible, criminally responsible for well over 100,000 deaths, but it’s not okay to prosecute him. Not only isn’t it okay to prosecute him, it isn’t even okay to talk about prosecuting him. This is unbelievable what’s going on in this country. How can we have a country where they permit a president to do what he did and they do absolutely nothing to him except to try to protect him?” Vincent Bugliosi












Foreign and international prosecution

The participants analyzed the status of and possibilities for foreign prosecution of U.S. high-level civilians and/or generals in foreign domestic courts under universal jurisdiction. The recent failed efforts in Germany and France with regard to Rumsfeld were noted. It was pointed out, however, that we should take advantage of the fact that more and more countries are enacting universal jurisdiction legislation. Efforts in England against similar persons in the English political establishment were noted. One of the more interesting tactics described started with over 200 citizens going to their local police stations in England and reporting a crime had been committed - referring to the Iraq War or torture. The police have a duty to investigate and this is a manner in which the ordinary citizen in England could get the wheels of justice rolling.
As to international prosecution, the participants discussed the possibility of referrals to the International Criminal Court of United States high-level civilians and/or generals based on crimes committed in countries which adhere to the ICC. It was noted that prosecutors in a number of foreign countries have based their politically motivated dismissals of complaints against high US officials on the mistaken notion that the accused would be prosecuted in the US (the principle of complementarity) as well as on incorrect theories of immunity. The view discussed at the conference was that domestic U.S. efforts and foreign and/or international efforts for criminal prosecution should go forward at the same time so as each can help the other advance as fast as practicable.http://sos-at.blogspot.com/2008/10/prosecuting-high-level-americans-for.html



The world has watched the U.S. slide further and further under a corrupt, criminal corporate rule that directs contracts to companies involved in the sex slave trade, tortures, and guts the only thing they had worn to defend _ the constitution and all with utter immunity...as if they walked on water.

Bush looks directly into the camera and states, "we do not torture." It makes no matter that the WORLD has seen precisely what the Americans do to other human beings whose countries they invade for the direct enrichment of Halliburton, Bechtel, and the other profiteers.

What is really the height of blasphemy is the implication that they are doing any of this "in the name of Jesus"...although they certainly do seem to walk on water where the law is concerned.

Republicans Run Distraction from Laundry List of Their Misdeeds

... 16 of 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Bush was going to "hunt em down" and now eight years later we hear McCain, monotoning about how he will chase Osama Bin Laden to the depths of hell. ( Try the Bush ranch, or the Saudi Royal family enclave.... Bin Laden was a CIA operative and the Saudi family OWNS the Bushs and thus America.)
Where is Osama Bin Laden?

And what could be more sexist AND cynical than the last minute appointment of Sarah Palin, to distract from the criminals behind the war, the HUGE deficit, and the ongoing bilking of the banking industry. (i.e. See BCCI, Neil Bush and the SNL Scandal...its all there) This slime have been bilking America for so long( and getting away with it) that they think they are Gods. Bush actually thinks that if he says something that makes it truth. (We're talking major bats in the belfry coupled with a boundless narcissist that is psychopathic in nature). HERE are the criminals behind the "war" (illegal invasion, occupation and ongoing GENOCIDE such that over a million civilians, largely children ,are dead or maimed for life)
Here are the unfeeling, non-negotiating, psychopaths of the NEO CON right who also control our news media with plants like Bill Bennett, and Bill Kristol or the American Enterprise (Nazi) Institute.
Seig Heil they support every war and trade with BOTH sides in every war...demanding they be treated as decent and honorable people when they are swine. WHEN is the AMERICAN MEDIA going to report the sixty years of enemy trading, Nazi appeasing corporate swine who have led us to this day? Never, they are paid by the evil within.



Anyone with a brain, a computer and some curiosity can find the entire past, present and likely fascist future of the USA. Wolfowitz and Kissinger should both be tried for war crimes.
Until America holds accountable those who are commiting genocide instead of letting them walk with a "boys will be boys" attitude. ...there will be
fascism. Until America holds accountable the entire Bush crime family, they will remain unaccountable.


Here are the country managers of the Bush crime family.

Harper even handed over a cool 450 million from the softwood lumber deal for Bush to do with as he wanted.
Harper, like his mentor Mulroney is a country manager that reports to a U.S. crime family, whose palatial estates by the seashore are built with the blood of Auschwitz victims and now Abu Gharib...all over them.
Next time Bush starts spewing about someone else...see how much of what he says applies to him and the USA






.


Why has the Bush crime family purchased over 188,000 hectacres of land in Paraguay and why are American militia all over that land?
Is Bush planning to escape to Paraguay with the other war criminals?


McCain is surrounded by lobbyists and a heartbeat and gunshot away from the presidency stands a religious right hack who is misogynistic (toward her own sex) and an insult to the intelligence of all women. Why isn't the media telling the world who appointed her - it most certainly was NOT John McCain. So who is calling the shots behind him?

Quips, Queries and Questions to the Bush Barbarians

Texas has oil, and is the home base of the terrorists turning America into a fascist state - why not bomb them and nationalize the oil?















Ah George and Abramoff the mobster sentenced to six years in jail. Everyone BUT American media seems to know that K Street had to go through Abramoff to Bush. Like the ENRON fraud this connection has been swept under the rug. Why isn't American media tying the links of corruption together and doing their job?





What is this the training center at the School of Americas where the USA trains death squads
to stir up civil war in every country they invade.
Then while the local inhabitants are killing each other - they steal the oil, or the diamonds, gold or whatever booty is available.

Why don't Americans know about the School of Americas and that fact that most FREE people consider it a training school for terrorists.



Who vetted George H.W. Bush for the presidency? This disgusting "family" has sixty years of trading with the enemy, lying to the people and continually provoking war for profit. The facts are in the U.S. National Archives.



What is the difference between Saddam and a Bush? Both torture, both lie, both steal, both
manipulate the media and have a secret police that operates beneath the law - ANY law.







What CEO will the fascist corporate machine pick next to fulfill their deregulation of America and the complete overthrow of American democracy?

Only Diebold or the fascist Opus Dei Supreme Court know for sure eh!

There clearly is no legal system of any integrity left in the USA, or these monsters would be in jail.

USA - From Democracy to Fascism

The USA is no longer a democratic state. Voting machines are compromised, the Supreme Court is loaded with Catholic fundamentalists of the misogynist Opus Dei ilk (the same brand name associated with Robert Hansen the biggest Soviet Spy in history who is also Opus Dei and FBI.)

Is America Fascist?
By Sherwood Ross

If it hasn’t gone the way of Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany, it’s sure teetering on the brink. America is a nation in deepening crisis, a nation whose leaders repeatedly plunge their citizens into, and make them pay for, serial wars abroad, while stealing their liberties at home. USA has become a country that treats its citizens like trash (New Orleans), tortures its enemies(Abu Ghraib), threatens other nations with nuclear fire(Iran), flouts international treaties(UN Charter re Iraq), and spies on(FISA), and intimidates, its critics(No Fly). Americans that can clearly see the totalitarian machinations of Vladimir Putin in Russia and Hu Jintao in China are blind to the fascism threatening to envelop them as well.


Webster’s defines fascism as “a totalitarian governmental system led by a dictator and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism, militarism, and often racism.” A comparison of 20th century fascist and communist regimes with President Bush’s USA indicates the machinery for a full-blown totalitarian takeover is now in place, even if no coup has occurred. As Naomi Wolf writes in “The End of America”(Chelsea Green)the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill’s Section 333 allows the president “to declare martial law and take charge of the National Guard troops without the permission of a governor when ‘public order’ has been lost…” and to “send the guard into our streets during a public health emergency, terrorist attack or ‘other condition.’”


The enabling crowbar was the Military Commissions Act of 2006. It gives the president authority to set up his own system for bringing alien combatants to trial while denying them protection of the Geneva Conventions. “The president and his lawyers now claim the authority to designate any American citizen he chooses as being an ‘enemy combatant,’” Wolf writes of power usurpation that characterized the post-World War One epoch in Europe and Asia.
Thus, Congress has empowered Bush just as Germany’s Reichstag empowered Hitler, Wolf writes, recalling Hitler’s boast, “Democracy will be overthrown with the tools of democracy.” Hitler’s Interior Minister issued Clause 2 that gave police the power to hold people in custody indefinitely and without a court order, powers the U.S. Congress today has conferred upon “The Decider” in the White House. Mussolini’s used the less grandiose “Il Duce” or “The Leader.”

May the light of every soul murdered by this sick, sad, WAG THE DOG media and their presidency of thugs and dead enders be held to account under the laws of Nuremberg for war criminals.

Going back the article we get a glimmer of the crime laid open to execution by the silence of US media.

Wolf writes that dictators justify their usurpation of domestic liberties by raising the alarm of “terrorist” threats. Stalin, for example, used this very term in 1934 when he warned his public of a world-wide conspiracy by capitalists to overthrow the Soviet state. If there have been no mass arrests of native-born Americans it is only because the president has not chosen to exercise this authority. If you think it can’t happen to you, recall that in September of 2003 the Army arrested 36-year-old American-born Muslim chaplain James Yee, a West Point graduate, allegedly for “espionage and possibly treason”---but more likely for calling for better conditions for Gitmo inmates. Wolf wrote:

“He was blindfolded; his ears were blocked; he was manacled and then put into solitary confinement for 76 days; forbidden mail, television, or anything to read except the Koran. His family was not allowed to visit him. …His lawyers were told he would face execution. (But)Within six months, the U.S. government had dropped all criminal charges against Yee.” Yes, just as it has dropped charges against hundreds of Guantanamo prisoners earlier, men labeled by former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld as “the worst of the worst” but against the overwhelming majority of whom the Bush regime apparently had no case whatever!

----

Fascism is America and it is what American industry has supported along with selling arms to the enemy prior to every war, from Samuel Bush with Remington Arms in WWI to Prescott Bush and the Nazis, to Poppy's (H.W.) drug running CIA and to today's mob boss baby Bush. The censored media have clearly never vetted or covered the crimes of the worst mob family in history - America's Caligula.

Our Criminally Complicit Corporate Owned Media

WAG THE DOG: HOW TO CONCEAL MASSIVE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE by Ellen Brown WebofDebt.com
August 14th, 2008

“I’m in show business, why come to me?”

“War is show business, that’s why we’re here.”
– “Wag the Dog” (1997 film)

Last week, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had just announced record losses, and so had most reporting corporations. Unemployment was mounting, the foreclosure crisis was deepening, state budgets were in shambles, and massive bailouts were everywhere. Investors had every reason to expect the dollar and the stock market to plummet, and gold and oil to shoot up. Strangely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 300 points, the dollar strengthened, and gold and oil were crushed. What happened?
It hardly took psychic powers to see that the Plunge Protection Team had come to the rescue. Formally known as the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, the PPT was once concealed and its very existence denied as if it were a matter of strict national security. But the PPT has now come out of the closet. What was once a legally questionable “manipulator” of markets has become a sanctioned stabilizer and protector of markets. The new tone was set in January 2008, when global markets took their worst tumble since September 11, 2001. Senator Hillary Clinton said in a statement reported by the State News Service:

...The mystery over what was going on with the dollar the first week in August was solved by James Turk, founder of Gold Money, who wrote on August 7:
“[T]he banking problems in the United States continue to mount, while the federal government’s deficit continues to soar out of control. . . . So what happened to cause the dollar to rally over the past three weeks? In a word, intervention. Central banks have propped up the dollar, and here’s the proof.

“When central banks intervene in the currency markets, they exchange their currency for dollars. Central banks then use the dollars they acquire to buy US government debt instruments so that they can earn interest on their money. The debt instruments central banks acquire are held in custody for them at the Federal Reserve, which reports this amount weekly

“On July 16, 2008 . . . , the Federal Reserve reported holding $2,349 billion of US government paper in custody for central banks. In its report released today, this amount had grown over the past three weeks to $2,401 billion, a 38.4% annual rate of growth. . . . So central banks were accumulating dollars over the past three weeks at a rate far above what one would expect as a result of the US trade deficit. The logical conclusion is that they were intervening in currency markets. They were buying dollars for the purpose of propping it up, to keep the dollar from falling off the edge of the cliff and doing so ignited a short covering rally, which is not too difficult to do given the leverage employed in the markets these days by hedge funds and others.”

Just as central banks manipulate currencies in concert, so gold can be manipulated by massive selling of central bank reserves. Oil and any other market can be manipulated as well. But markets can be manipulated by only so much and for only so long without fixing the underlying problem. There is more bad news coming down the pike, news of such magnitude that no amount of ordinary manipulation is liable to conceal it. (complete story at the link above)





Heck this Con has turned patriotism into a disease of the ignorant, by the ignorant, for the narrow minded narcissism of American "values." While chastising Putin for essentially everything the USA is doing in Iraq...it is horridly hollow to listen to this man without recalling the final scene in the movie "Apocalypse Now" where the director had Marlon Brando free associate to come up with the ending.

His line..."it's just the horror of it all, the horror."



You bet in counting there is strength and like everything else criminal in the USA today, the Repugs have it wired:

What makes this SAIC report, called "The Pentagon Papers of Electronic Voting" by some computer experts, so important is that:

1. It shows, in black and white, that what Diebold says to election officials and voters across the country is not the truth.

2. It shows that there are virtually no security protocols in place for certain Diebold machines and that the recommended security protocols were purposely removed.

3. It shows that the analyzed Diebold machines were not functional nor secure for use in elections and raises serious doubts that they are ready for the November 7, 2006 Midterm elections.
The study, dated September 17, 2003, is the response to research performed by Johns Hopkins University Computer Science Professor Avi Rubin citing severe security flaws on the Diebold touch screen machines, including a surprising lack of security, (encryption), on the memory cards. Maryland sought to ascertain whether their Diebold Touch Screen machines were, in fact, safe for Maryland voters to use.
But Diebold, in return for allowing their super secret, proprietary machines to be examined by the independent laboratory, insisted on two huge concessions from the State of Maryland.
First, SAIC would not be allowed to even look at the source code, the heart and guts of electronic voting machines. Second, they would be allowed to go through the SAIC Report, line by line, and redact anything and everything that they felt was proprietary, had a potential for security breaches or could provide a road map for anyone who wanted to compromise the system.
In other words, whatever they wanted to do with the public part of the report they could. (complete story here http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/35557#comment-203654


Small wonder Americans know little of what goes on outside their borders, their "news" agencies pump hours of corporate propaganda into their homes, interrupted only by the obsessive compulsive need to ram advertising down the throats of the viewer paying to receive it! They profess to be human beings, yet have to "humanize" every candidate they put forward to us.

i.e.
Bold, shocking, powerful, and authoritative best characterize State of Darkness which exposes the war crimes not only of President W. Bush but of nine presidents since 1945. Public discourse in the United States has yet to debate these violations of international law despite the fact that they attain the level of genocide. This is a groundbreaking work which for the first time exhaustively details American complicity in genocide

I systematically and definitively prove that the United States is either guilty of or complicit in genocide in eight different countries since 1945. Using criteria that I carefully establish in the introduction along with documentation based almost exclusively on declassified documents and with rigorous reasoning, I demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that since 1945, nine American presidents are complicit in genocide.

For example, American actions against Iraq are undeniably a case of genocide given the death of over two million people, the displacement of five million, the more than one million who are in desperate need of emergency assistance, and the complete destruction of the infrastructure of Iraq. This level of death and destruction are a direct result of the 1991 bombing, the sanctions imposed between 1990 and 2003, the bombing between 1991 and 2003 in the no-fly zones and the 2003 bombing and occupation. The impact of American policies in Iraq irrefutably meets the criteria of genocide in the Genocide Convention.

Debate on the issues raised in this book is long overdue and is imperative to filling a gaping lacuna in the historical record of the United States. Knowledge of the suffering and loss experienced by the victims of American interventions has emboldened me to write this book in the hope that awareness will promote activism.http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/35557#comment-203654


What the WAG THE DOG criminal corporate media hides from the public, with distraction after distraction.


None of this would have been possible without a conscious effort by lenders, who have spent billions of dollars in advertising to change the language of home loans and, with it, Americans' attitudes toward debt.

When, one might ask, are we going to start holding American media accountable.

The mountain of facts about the Bush past and the past of American industry resides in the U. S. National Archives for those with a nose for truth and a heart that demands integrity.

The axis of evil in the USA is in the mirror ..in all of our mirrors. Every time we turn our heads and look the other way, or refuse to hear the cries of those bombed, tortured, alone, crying out for us to HEAR them, as a part of our collective humanity, we shut down our hearts, our chance for salvation.

The USA media networks have become the mirror of a narcissistic psychopathic presidency, miming idiocy and distracting with disgusting displays of individual narcissism, the media have quite simply become the presidential psychosis and paralysis gripping the country.

The IRON CURTAIN of censored news is an endless drone in the USA, ...anything to distract from the ongoing genocide committed by the USA, Saudi Arabia and the Mossad. We've become a world run by criminal gangs with the INTEL agencies nothing but thugs operating devoid of law and then pointing the finger at the other guy.

Georgian forces armed by the USA fired "rounds" of rockets into Ossettia because the residents did not want to stay within Georgia...THIS Is the democracy Bush brings...

The USA provoked this action all the way down the line..yet all we hear from the
US media and this sick, sad, simplistically psychopathic presidency are the same accusations that could apply to America - right down the line. Fabricated evidence, illegal incarceration, illegal, immoral invasion and NO country with the high ground to challenge... because of the Bush Barbarians and their paid off press coverage.

The owners of all the major networks should be tried for treason along with the criminals holding the country hostage.
