Max Keiser Blasts Goldman Sachs in a Scathing Indictment
Former Wall Street Broker and TV/radio host Max Keiser blast Goldman Sachs, charges "economic terrorism," says they should be tried at the Hague!

Obama Signs Executive Order Barring Release Of His Birth Certificate
"First, we did a story about an Army Major who filed suit regarding his deployment to Afghanistan on the grounds that Obama was not America’s legitimate Commander-In Chief. Then we did an article pointing out the differences between a Birth Cerificate and a Certification Of Live Birth. It appears that the issue of Obama being forced to produce a copy of his birth certificate may prove to be extremely difficult, if not impossible. On January 21st, 2009, his very first day in office, Barack Obama implemented and signed into law Executive Order 13489."

Governors Discover Resisting the Fed has Consequences
"Cynical observers of the U.S. political scene weren’t surprised when it was revealed in June 2009 that Mark Sanford, Governor of South Carolina, who is married, had been carrying on a long-term affair. Sanford admitted that the affair had been going on for at least a year and soon resigned as chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Here’s the more interesting part. Earlier in 2009, Sanford had resisted accepting stimulus funds for South Carolina from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which he correctly saw as part of the process of bringing the states further under Federal control."

Obama's Science Czar: Traditional family is obsolete, punish large families
Ed. Note: This is what we're up against. The United States truly has been taken hostage by a dictator and the American way of life is under a vicious attack. Do you hear that sound, people? It's the death knell of the USA... unless you do something about it Wake up! Get involved goddamnit!!!

"President Obama's Science Czar, John Holdren, took a controversial and amoral approach to the science of population by recommending mass compulsory sterilization and even forced abortion (and/or forced marriages) under certain circumstances. His 1977 tome, Ecoscience, which he co-authored with Paul and Anne Ehrlich, also displays a revealing disregard for the institution of the traditional human family."

Bombshell: Orders revoked for soldier challenging Obama
"A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office."

Justice Ginsburg: Roe v. Wade Was Designed for Population Control
"In an interview to be published in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she thought the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on abortion was predicated on the Supreme Court majority's desire to diminish “populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” "

High Ranking Individuals Supporting Federal Reserve Secrecy EXPOSED!
You MUST read this, sign the petition, and then boycott! "The following individuals whose primary goal in life is getting tenure and publishing a textbook, yet believe they have a voice in deciding whether over 300 million American people should know just whose interests the Fed so staunchly protects, have issued an open letter to Congress and The Executive Branch, demanding that no one ever dare tinker or have audit powers over the private institution that is the Federal Reserve."

Cuba Jumps on the New World Order Bandwagon
"More than 50 heads of state from the developing world will meet to tackle the fallout from the global economic meltdown, with calls for a new world order. The Cuban President Raul Castro said in a speech at the opening session of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit that the financial crisis had hit the developing nations the hardest. The Cuban President also called for a new monetary and economic world order that would take into consideration the needs of the developing countries."

Egypt Jumps on the New World Order Bandwagon
"Egyptian Assistant Foreign Minister Naela Gabr said Saturday that the world society should make joint efforts to set up a new world order to deal with various crises. Gabr made the appeal when addressing the senior officials' meeting of the 15th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit, which opened Saturday in Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. The current world situation is quite different from 48 years ago when the NAM was founded, with increasing population, outbreaks of epidemic and deteriorating environment, she said."

Dept of Homeland Security Targets “Aggressive Driving” in Pennsylvania?
"Since when is a federal law enforcement agency within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a component of the Department of Homeland Security, responsible for “monitoring” drunk and aggressive drivers in Pennsylvania? The state does not have a direct border with Canada, except for a small area on Lake Erie. Obviously, this “program” is intended to extend the power of the DHS at the expense of the states and get the commoners accustomed to the feds meddling in what should be a state responsibility."

Churches and Police team up and try to round up guns... and fail. Score! One for the resistance!
Ed. Note: This is laughable. "The third gun surrender event held in conjunction between Churches United for Service and the Lynchburg Police Department exceeded the expectations of organizers Saturday afternoon. Citizens surrendered six firearms and a pellet gun Saturday, said the Rev. James Coleman, of Churches United for Service, which more than doubled the amount of guns turned in previously."

U.S. Federal Prosecutor: Stolen Goldman Sachs Software Could be Used to “Manipulate Markets in Unfair Ways”
Ed. Note: This is interesting. The Federal Government is worried that the stolen software could be used to "manipulate markets in unfair ways." It seems as if, in their haste to protect the financial firm they're in cahoots with, the Federal Government accidentally exposed what Goldman Sachs possibly already does. Now what I really would like to know is the relationship between the Untied States Treasury, the Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs Could Lose Millions from Code Theft
"The purported theft of a Goldman Sachs trading platform threatens to cost it millions of dollars, a prosecutor told a court, but so far the bank has not reported damage to its business."

Gerald Celente tells it like it is regarding Obama-nomics
"How often does the government have to be wrong, and how wrong do they have to be before people and the media stop taking them seriously?" wondered Celente. "The first spending package didn't deliver as promised, and now Obama's advisors want another stimulus, as if doubling up on failure will achieve success." 

FDIC Preparing for for Bank Closures
"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is gearing up to handle a large number of bank failures expected as a result of bad mortgages, both in residential and commercial real estate, an economist said Tuesday. “Once they start to sell [foreclosed real estate], we’ll find out what the market really is.” "

The True Unemployment Rate:  Already at 20%
"Really, how hard is it to find a job? Was June's horrid numbers, in which 467,000 people lost their jobs compared to 345,000 in May, a one-time fluke? Or does it mean that all those Wall Street economists who believe the economic recovery is starting are dead wrong? Not to scare you, but the situation is actually worse than it seems."

Is the Presidet a Natural Born Citizen? Supposed Birthplace WILL NOT back Obama birth claim!
"The hospital in Hawaii where Barack Obama claims he was born refuses to produce any documentation – or even confirm the claim – without permission of the President himself. The Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu has posted on its website a letter on White House stationery dated Jan. 24 in which Obama wrote, "As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi'olani Medical Center – the place of my birth – I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters."

Goldman-Sachs Trading Scandal?
"Did someone try to steal Goldman Sachs' secret sauce? While most in the United States were celebrating the Fourth of July holiday, a Russian immigrant living in New Jersey was being held on federal charges of stealing secret computer trading codes from a major New York-based financial institution. Authorities did not identify the firm, but sources say that institution is none other than Goldman Sachs."

Is Barack Obama a Well-Groomed & Planned Soviet Infiltrator?
"During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia... One evening, during a trip early in 1992, the American half of our venture were invited to V. & T.'s Moscow flat as we were about to return to the States."

"As the evening wore on, T. developed a decidedly rough anti-American edge - one her husband tried to quietly rein in. The bottom line of the tirade she started against the United States went something like this:" " 'You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect.' " " 'What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?'

"The out-of-the-blue remark was met by our stares. She continued, 'Well, you will; and he will be a Communist.' "

The MICHAEL JACKSON BILL — Making a Mockery of the U.S. Government
"As an example of how just irrelevant and silly government has become — in addition to becoming increasingly tyrannical and authoritarian — consider a bill introduced in the House: H. Res. 600: A Tribute to an American Legend and Musical Icon, sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas."

Will Supreme Court Allow Corporate Whores to give Unlimited Contributions to Political Campaigns?
"The most troubling part of the court’s action is the brave new world of politics it could usher in. Auto companies that receive multibillion-dollar bailouts could spend vast sums to re-elect the same officials who hand them the money. If Exxon Mobil or Wal-Mart wants something from a member of Congress, it could threaten to spend as much as it takes to defeat him or her in the next election."

Our Country is Being Taken Over... It's All Illegal!
"Americans - on their day of supposed "independence" - have no cause for celebration. Our country is being deliberately destroyed. It's all illegal."

Bill banning forced identity-chip implants clears House
"Invasion of privacy is an issue that really gets under State Rep. Babette Josephs' skin. That's why the Philadelphia Democrat introduced a bill, passed unanimously last week by the House, that would ban the forced implantation of computer chips in humans. Conjuring Orwellian images, Josephs worries the identification devices - the size of a grain of rice - could lead to a real-life Big Brother nightmare."

Goldman Sachs becomes 4th (fourth) branch of U.S. government?
Ed. Note: One can't help but think that our economic turmoil has been purposely engineered and executed.
"Quietly and almost unnoticed by most Americans, the US Federal Government introduced a fourth branch to its political structure in 2006.  As you know we already had three branches, they are:

• The Judicial: the Supreme Court
• The Executive: the President
• The Legislative: Congress"

"Shouldn’t we have a Financial Branch of government? A group of fiscal experts entirely devoted to keeping the US’s fiscal house in order?"

"Well, we actually do, but instead of installing a branch of smart, genuine financiers interested in benefiting the American people, we installed a bunch of greedy crooks intent on stealing as much of the public’s money as possible with no consequences what so ever.
 
Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you America’s Financial Branch of the Government: Goldman Sachs."

Gerald Celente Predicts Economic Collapse in 2012: Obamageddon?
"KINGSTON, NY -- Empire America is on the verge of collapse. Its social, economic and political systems are failed and failing, observes Trends Research Institute Director, Gerald Celente, in the Summer Trends Journal®. "The measures taken by successive governments to save the politically corrupt, morally bankrupt, physically decrepit giant from collapse have served to only hasten its demise. While the decline has been decades in the making, the acceleration of ruinous policies under the current Administration is leading the United States -- and much of the world -- to the point of no return," says Celente."

Events in Iran staged by U.S. government?
"Talk about deja vu. Was I watching protests in the Ukraine this week? Or Georgia? It certainly looked like it. But, no, it was Iran. I knew because the colour was different. In Georgia in 2003 the colour was red, or 'rose', and in the Ukraine in 2004 it was orange. In Iran this week, it is green. Apart from that, the same modus operandi was playing out once again orchestrated by the usual suspects hiding in the shadows."

Ron Paul: Democrats Who Opposed Climate Bill Voted For It Anyway
"In a Campaign for Liberty video commentary, Ron Paul reveals that even though up to 20 Democrats opposed the controversial climate bill, they voted for it anyway, underscoring once again how the vast majority of Congress members are bought and paid for by the elite in Washington."

FDA seeks to strip public of rights to comfort, banning Rx painkillers like Vicodin and Percocet: Call your congressman now!
"If a U.S. Food and Drug Administration expert panel has its way, prescription pain killers, like Vicodin and Percocet that contain acetaminophen will be eliminated from the country's formularies. Yet, the very same panel voted to keep over-the-counter combination pills containing acetaminophen on the shelves."

Israel kidnaps Cynthia McKinney: Why do we call this country our ally again???
"Today Israeli Occupation Forces attacked and boarded the Free Gaza Movement boat, the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, abducting 21 human rights workers from 11 countries, including Noble laureate Mairead Maguire and former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. The passengers and crew are being forcibly dragged toward Israel".

The Two Party System Has Failed America
"While America’s wealthy continue to enjoy economic and recreational comforts, many parts of the world are being plunged into economic collapse, depression, and civil unrest. American elitist politicians enjoy the safety and protection provided by our military and secret service.  Meanwhile, the American citizen’s freedoms are attacked non-stop by Police State agencies in their homes, schools and neighborhoods.  The writing has been on the wall for some time, nothing has changed, and the plan for the New World Order is full force."

IT'S TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT:
Red Alert - The Total Takeover Of America Enters Its Final Phase
"The wholesale looting of America and the transfer of wealth and power over to a private banking elite who are setting up a world government, along with the complete obliteration of any remaining freedom to protest, resist, or even speak out against this agenda, is now entering its final phase as numerous different pieces of the jigsaw puzzle fall into place and portray a clear picture of tyranny.

We are about to sound the death knell for the United States if every one of the following attacks on our liberty, free speech, sovereignty, and right to not be ruled over by an unelected banking dictatorship is not fiercely opposed and crushed."

Pelosi Won't Give Public a Week to Review Text of Health-Care Bill Before House Votes on It
"(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) will not give the public a week to review the final text of a health-care reform bill before it is voted on later this year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) has also declined to commit to giving the public a week to read and consider the final health-care bill."

The Emperor's Seven Signing Statements
"Lawless detention is the least of it. State secrets and warrantless spying scrape the surface. Drone attacks and ongoing torture begin to touch it. But central to the power of an emperor, and the catastrophes that come from the existence of an emperor, is the elimination of any other force within the government. Signing statements eliminate congress. Not that congress objects. Asking congress to reclaim its power produces nervous giggles."

Yahoo! Tech gives RFID positive press
"It works for Fido, so why not you? The same RFID implants used to identify lost pets are now being adapted for use on you and me, and not how one might have originally expected. As with all pioneering technologies, it's leisure pursuits that are getting the first stab at the tech."

Who's a Low-Level Terrorist? Are You?
"Despite that DoD officials removed the offensive section from their educational resources at the urging of ACLU members, the DoD stance is still troubling since a longstanding practice to designate peaceful, law abiding activists as dangerous and treasonable still exists in many government departments and agencies."

How a Loophole Benefits GE in Bank Rescue
"General Electric, the world's largest industrial company, has quietly become the biggest beneficiary of one of the government's key rescue programs for banks. At the same time, GE has avoided many of the restrictions facing other financial giants getting help from the government. The company did not initially qualify for the program, under which the government sought to unfreeze credit markets by guaranteeing debt sold by banking firms. But regulators soon loosened the eligibility requirements, in part because of behind-the-scenes appeals from GE."

"(AP)  Thousands of troops, backed by hundreds of tanks, artillery and other heavy weaponry, began rumbling through the North Caucasus on Monday, as Russia began its largest military exercises since last year's war with Georgia.

'Neda Becomes Rallying Cry for Iranian Protests
Defiance and death on the streets of Tehran. That was, and still is the scene up to this very moment as the people attempt to break free of their dictator in an election that appears questionable to say the least. One young lady, apparently named 'Neda' was protesting peacefully with her father in Tehran when pro-government Basiji militia opened fire and gunned her down, shooting her in the heart and killing her in a matter of two minutes... for simply participating in a PROTEST. + More

Obama Calls On Iran To Stop Violent And Unjust Actions
"Obama directly addresses the Iranian government for the first time after a day of violence in Iran: The Iranian government must understand that the world is watching.

"US security authorities have conducted a semi-clandestine nuclear fallout drill in the City of New York in order to be prepared "for the worst." The NYC Police Department (NYPD) in unison with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) carried out a massive almost-covert anti-nuclear exercise codenamed 'New York, you have a problem' in order to gauge the metropolitan promptness in responding to such attacks.

According to an AP report on Friday, hundreds of NYPD officers and FBI agents participated in the drill that involved the detection of a gamma-ray emitting device concealed in the heart of the urban area. The group was also accompanied by an elite corps of federal weapons specialists who, under a US attorney general mandate, found a simulated “nuclear device” and diffused it."

Investigators Claim Phoenix Crop Circle May Predict End Of The World

Dream Deferred: Americans May Never Retire
Sick, 21st century careerist propaganda.
"The retirement plans of many Americans went out the window in the past year due to the economic downturn, a new survey finds. A lot of folks now are looking at Plan B, and Plan B means working more and working later in life. It's not unlike what our great-great grandparents planned for, back before the concept of retirement came into vogue. However, working beyond age 65 doesn't have to be dismal, experts say, especially if you change your expectations and push yourself to pursue work in a field that you love."

In wake of mass protests, Iran cuts off cell phones, YouTube, Facebook
With the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, America isn't far behind on this one.

Carrie Prejean stripped of Miss California title for exercising her 1st Amendment rights
Ed. Note: Now seriously, who are we kidding here? It does not take a rocket scientist or nuclear physicist to realize that Carrie Prejean has been stripped of her title because her stance on gay marriage opposes the opinion of — contrary to what the mainstream media spoon-feeds the drooling masses — a minority... but regardless, it is a minority with the power of the media machine behind it. Had Ms. Prejean smiled and giddily said, "yay gay marriage!", she obviously and undoubtedly would still be Miss California. Donald Trump, I am highly disappointed in you for not having the cojónes to take a stand against these rabid hyenas that had a field day defaming the name of a woman that truly does represent the opinions of the majority on this issue. I normally wouldn't post something of this nature but this incident has set a precedent regarding the opinion that you're being told you should have.

"(NaturalNews) It would cost between $1.5 trillion and $1.7 trillion over the next 10 years to provide health insurance to everyone in the United States, according to an estimate by the consulting and policy analysis company the Lewin Group.

Soon after news of the fatal crash broke, agents working for the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), the French equivalent of MI6, were dispatched to Brazil.

KSL editorial director's son dies after being tased by police
Ed. Note: I usually quote the article and link out. This burned me so much that I felt the need for direct commentary. This is yet another unlawful incident where an innocent man has been killed by the seemingly recent new breed of over-zealous Nazi-esque "law enforcement" personnel. The time has come for these incidents to be addressed and for these aggressors to be dealt with accordingly. This is the USA, not 1930's Germany. This is dispicable and should not happen in this country. The Amerikan (sic) police state must come to and end. Write your congress-people folks! C'mon!!!

Obama Tells American Businesses to Drop Dead: Kevin Hassett
"June 8 (Bloomberg) -- I’ve finally figured out the Obama economic strategy. President Barack Obama and his team have been having so much fun wielding dictatorial power while rescuing “failed” firms, that they have developed a scheme to gain the same power over every business. The plan is to enact policies that are so anticompetitive that every firm needs a bailout."

Panetta defended the classification of records describing the contents of the 92 videotapes, their destruction by the CIA in 2005 and what he called "sensitive operational information" about the interrogations."

'Orwellian language' in schools turns pupils into 'customers', finds damning report
"Schools using the 'Orwellian language of performance management' are undermining teenagers' education by turning them into 'customers' rather than students, a landmark report says today.

Revokation of the 1st Amendment:  Internet radio host arrested after blog suggests that corrupt politicians be held accountable
"Internet radio host Hal Turner — accused of inciting Catholics to "take up arms" and singling out two Connecticut lawmakers and a state ethics official on a website — was taken into custody in New Jersey late Wednesday." "Turner... hosts an Internet radio program with an associated blog. On Tuesday, the blog included a post that promised to release the home addresses of state Rep. Michael Lawlor, state Sen. Andrew McDonald and Thomas Jones of the State Ethics Office."

Turners blog said:
""It is our intent to foment direct action against these individuals personally. These beastly government officials should be made an example of as a warning to others in government: Obey the Constitution or die." "If any state attorney, police department or court thinks they're going to get uppity with us about this, I suspect we have enough bullets to put them down, too.""

I guess the message the police and politicians are trying to send us is, "Don't question your masters, lowly serfs – unless you want to go to jail."

Fascism at Work:  US Senators push bill to regulate tobacco
"Democratic senators sought Wednesday to bolster legislation that would give the federal government regulatory authority over the tobacco industry, which has warded off such efforts for decades.

"America's biggest carmaker, General Motors, yesterday declared itself bankrupt with debts of $172bn (£105bn) in a move paving the way for the Obama administration to take control of a 101-year-old stalwart of the US manufacturing industry.

FEMA might place storm victims in foreclosed homes
"If a major hurricane strikes Florida, authorities may take advantage of the foreclosure crisis to place displaced residents in vacant homes seized by banks. Ruben Almaguer, interim director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, has proposed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency use foreclosed homes — which are particularly abundant in this state — as an alternative to placing people in trailers or scattering them around the country."

Judge Tosses Telecom Spy Suits
Well well well... One can only suspect that this judge in "on the take" since his ruling essentially says that it's ok for the inscreasingly fascist U.S. Government to spy on you warrantlessly. Stalin would be proud.
"A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed lawsuits targeting the nation’s telecommunication companies for their participation in President George W. Bush’s once-secret electronic eavesdropping program. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker upheld summer legislation protecting the companies from the lawsuits. The legislation, which then-Sen. Barack Obama voted for, also granted the government the authority to monitor American’s telecommunications without warrants if the subject was communicating with somebody overseas suspected of terrorism."

Is the Hacking Threat To National Security Overblown?
"Is hacking a real threat to the United States or is it just the latest overblown threat to national security, whose magnitude is being exaggerated to expand government budgets and power? That’s the question asked by Threat Level editor Kevin Poulsen at a panel in Computers, Freedom and Privacy in Washington, D.C. Wednesday. And it’s important because the government is spending billions of dollars on computer security, and President Obama is elevating cyber-security to a national priority, using language that makes even security experts wince."

Collin Peterson, Democratic Chairman of Agriculture Committee: Banks Run Congress
"It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to deduce that the banking and financial services industry has an outsized influence in Congress. Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase each got bailouts of $25 billion in government bailouts last year. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs got $10 billion apiece. And AIG, the mammoth insurer that lost billions in bad derivatives bets, has sucked in more than $170 billion. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is reticent about bailing out an American state — California. Collin Peterson, Democratic Chairman of the Agriculture Committee, says he knows who to blame."

Eliteist White Hose Press Corps mocks Pittsburgh, PA, city chosen by Obama to host upcoming G-20 Summit

The countries represent 85 percent of the world's economy, said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, who drew some laughter from the White House Press Corps when he announced Pittsburgh would host the summit. President Barack Obama chose to host the summit in Pittsburgh to because of the region's recovery after the collapse of the steel industry, Gibbs said."

American capitalism gone with a whimper
Even the Russians see what's happening here., yet the blatantly ignorant American mainstream still supports a newly elected president who's running the RMS America into an iceberg:
"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists."

Bilderberg blackout, media more obsessed with Hoggs moat costs
"The London Daily News has been receiving dispatches from its Athens correspondent that armed security officials have maintained the secretive Bilderberg Group session in an atmosphere of almost hysterical paranoia, to keep all media out. The Bilderberg Group which meets in secret each year is the opportunity for the world’s most influential politicians and financiers to debate the "high political issues" of the day in total secrecy. Anyone who attended the London G-20 summit would have thought that this was the precursor for the Bilderberg meeting in Athens."

Jim Tucker from Bilderberg 2009 - Bilderberg OWNS Obama
"Bilderberg luminaries all appeared grim-faced as they stepped from their limos on to the grounds of the Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece. They arrived from the airport in nearby Athens, escorted by police with sirens blaring. The world economy is at the top of the Bilderberg agenda. Bilderberg will debate how to exploit the global recession and fabrications about “swine flu” to advance its world government goals. Bilderberg’s agenda has expanded, even as public awareness has grown."

Texas Teen Sentenced To 60 Years in Prison For Consensual Sex
Here's a good example of why 'blind' justice isn't always just:
"When I was 17 years old, I made a mistake, a mistake that will haunt me and my family for the rest of our lives. I had consensual sex with a girl whom I believed to be much older. I was young and immature, drinking and smoking pot like many other teens at our school. I never intended to hurt anyone. I am not a dangerous predator or a violent rapist. I am a young man who has been given a punishment far beyond what is reasonable and just."

Hawaii hoodwinked into 9/11 Islam Day

Hawaii has no Christianity Day, no Judaism Day, and no Buddhism Day--but Hawaii's Democrat Legislators-with the loud public support of Ron Paul connected Rep Kym Pine (R-Ewa)-passed a resolution to create Islam Day. By a 22-3 vote the Hawaii Senate May 7 approved House Concurrent Resolution 100 which designates September 24, 2009 as Islam Day. The State House had quietly approved the measure without dissent March 17."

How Ford Restructured Without Federal Help
"You're forgiven if you think the Chrysler Bailout is a hot new car that competes with another model called the GM Rescue. Then there is the Ford Forgo, brought to us by the only Detroit auto maker to forgo government assistance, at least so far."

Obama Set to Revive Military Commissions
"The Obama administration is preparing to revive the system of military commissions established at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under new rules that would offer terrorism suspects greater legal protections, government officials said.
