(Jag-U-Are, Rich Bitch Collection)

Hey Guys! I need you to do a little creative visualization for a moment!

Imagine you have a wife who cheats on you constantly, steals all your stuff, won’t let you touch her, and then has the gall to demand maintenance pay. Wait! There’s more! You don’t even get to divorce the bitch. You have to stay married to her and continue to give her money while she continues to shag the pool boy, rob you blind and fuck you over. WHY? Because she’s become “accustomed to the lifestyle,” and the government treats your money as if a significant portion of it were hers.

How would that make you feel? Kinda bad, yes?

Ladies, you do the same, plugging in whatever gender works for you. I actually know a woman whose unemployed husband demanded a huge chunk of her 401K when they divorced. They got married, he quit his job, and then left the marriage a year and a half later with a significant portion of her stuff, because she made more money than he did, because the whole time he was watching soap operas at home. She’s a little bitter about that.

The present plan to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac? Yeah, it’s like THAT.

“A capitalist in need is a socialist indeed.”

Most of us are under the mistaken assumption that the United States of America is a capitalist democracy. Well, it’s not. It’s a corporate oligarchy, with capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich. How does it work? Oh that’s easy:

When we - you and I - fuck up our business and our finances, the bankers and the corporations take our stuff.

BUT . . .

When BANKERS and CORPORATIONS fuck up THEIR businesses and THEIR finances, the bankers and the corporations still take our stuff!

It’s a great system, if you’re a central banker or a corporatist multi-billionaire. Remember the S&L Crisis? The Bush family made a whole pile of money with that scam. This is how the wealth transfer (from us to them) is to work, AGAIN, with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: The U.S. Government plans to buy a huge interest in these failing banks using OUR MONEY. Our parents’ money. Our children’s money. Our grandchildren’s money.

Imagine that they raided your bank accounts and used it to buy stock in ENRON a month before the company’s systemic collapse. Then Talking Heads on the boob tube said “ENRON is critical to the stability of our energy supply. It’s too big to fail.” You would have stormed the ENRON corporate offices to kick some corporatist ass. Am I right, or am I right?

Today we get some anti-bailout fussing from the smart people who know they’re about to get fleeced, AGAIN. Then George Bush insults us further by saying “This is not a bailout.”

[squinting] “You see, [muffled snicker] it’s not a bail-out, [inappropriate smirk] because although the public will assume their debt, [momentary confusion] they’ll remain private corporations. It’s a sell-out! [giddy pride] [poked in back] I mean, it’s definitely not a bail-out. [satisfied nod] Now watch this drive.”

I say let them ALL fail. These are privately owned banks. They made bad business decisions, so they deserve to fail. Their stock prices NEED to go down. The banks NEED to restructure, and the banking executives NEED to be punished for being a bunch of greedy criminals. THAT’s capitalism. THAT’S the “free market economy.” Perhaps the U.S. ought to try it sometime.

In the mean time, we get to support their lifestyles, and we don’t even get to divorce the bitches.

The notorious asshole Karl Rove, also known as “Bush’s Brain,” has been under pressure to testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee. Not surprisingly, he disappeared on the 10th for an unannounced “vacation.” He’s been located in Crimea, which has no extradition treaty with the U.S.

It figures. This is how they’ll all get away with it: Unannounced “vacations” to countries that don’t extradite. The Bush/Cheney henchmen were counting on pardons, but if Bush is impeached he won’t be able to issue any. The only way the U.S. will be able to keep the NeoCONS on campus, so to speak, is to ground all outgoing international flights until every last suspected war criminal is rounded up and “detained” in an “undisclosed location.” And we know THAT won’t happen.

I suppose the Bush/Cheney juntas have made SO many enemies that it’s only a matter of time before a family member of a tortured Abu Grahib “detainee” hunts ‘em down and shoots ‘em. I won’t cry.

H/T: The Zoo

UPDATE: The Lang Report has set up a “Karl Watch” vigil.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

-Harry S. Truman

This week the traitors in Washington, also known as the U.S. Senate, sold out the Constitution again. Cowed by NeoCon scare tactics, with their pockets stuffed with wads of cash bribes campaign contributions from SPRINT, VERIZON and AT&T, the Senate passed FISA legislation undermining your Fourth Amendment right not to be subject to unwarranted search and/or seizure.

This is not a “compromise,” as some in Congress would have us believe. The only things they compromised are your personal privacy and your freedom.

(Check out the Billboard Liberation Front!)

The FISA Amendments Act allows for mass, untargeted and warrantless surveillance of all communications coming into and out of the United States. As an extra-special kick in the shorts, it hands immunity to telecommunication companies for their role in domestic spying. This means YOUR phone calls can be tapped and emails read for practically no reason at all, and there’s no chance to learn how the telecoms invaded your privacy after the fact.

Mark my words: Warrantless wiretapping is ALREADY being used to stifle dissent, blackmail politicians and destroy careers for partisan political purposes. And if you don’t think they’re reading your emails, and creating a comprehensive profile on you based upon what you write about yourself on your MySpace and Facebook pages, and especially your Plaxo profile, you have another thing coming. Are you a “Peace Mom?” Ever been to an anti-war or anti-globalization rally? There is an FBI case file on you.

In the days leading up to the House and Senate votes on the FISA bill the howling from American patriots and civil rights activists was louder than it had been in years. The Senators’ phones were ringing off the hook. Unfortunately, it was too late: The American public, Boobus Americanus, has remained parked on it’s sofa, remote in one hand and a soda in the other, for SO LONG, that once it occurred to the public that they were being spied upon Soviet-style it was too late to do anything about it. Congress had already been bought off by a bunch of paranoid, control freak plutocrats OVER A PERIOD OF DECADES, chipping away at the Constitution bit by little bit with laws and Executive Orders. Regardless, Boobus Americanus either stayed home on voting day or kept on electing it’s congresscritters over and over and over again.

Conservatives especially HATE the ACLU, turning the acronym into a synonym for traitor. What an asinine reversal. Sure the ACLU chooses some weird cases to fight, but they’re fighting on Constitutional principle, and they are doing it for YOUR SAKE. You snooze, you lose, folks. So NOW you care?

If this bugs you the way it bugs me, consider becoming an ACLU monthly donor, and stand up for your rights.This is why the ACLU challenged this unconstitutional law the moment President Bush signed it. If you’re a so-called “conservative” who EVER dissed the ACLU without understanding what it was all about, consider DOUBLING your donation as penance for being an IDIOT.

Boobus Americanus

(by Ed Griffin)

It’s more than mortal man can bear.

Those terrorists are everywhere:

on land and sea and in the air.

Network TV bill of fare

daily warns us to prepare

for bugs and bombs and poison air

and other things enough to scare

the bravest man to deep despair.

They hate our liberty, or so we’re told,

our way of life so uncontrolled,

our rich, our poor, our young, our old.

I guess their hatred just takes hold

and burrows in and makes them bold

enough to kill and die and spend their gold

and set in motion plans untold

to get us ALL . . . or so we’re told.

Seems strange to me they don’t resent

the other guys who represent

a way of life with free consent

or those who are benevolent.

The only ones they seem intent

to devastate to great extent

are those who’s aero-planes were sent

to bomb their homes with such torment.

Never mind, the war will stay.

We’re going to fight this all the way.

But there’s a price we have to pay

to keep the enemy at bay.

Let our leaders take away

our lives and liberty TODAY,

and then our fears will go away

that they’ll be lost some future day.

My phone is tapped. My mail is read.

They know the thoughts inside my head.

The money I deposited

is now reported to the Fed.

They chip my hand, dispense my bread.

I think they watch me go to bed.

I don’t object. I’m glad instead

to be controlled until I’m dead.

CHORUS

And so I very happily

let them take my liberty.

No matter what they do to me,

it’s all for my security.

You see, you see, you see?

I’m just as glad as I can be

to let them take my liberty.

No matter what they do to me,

it’s all for my security.

Moi, the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker, is fussy about my water.

I usually drink distilled water or spring/mineral water as I refuse to suffer the proven adverse mental health effects of fluoridated tap water. Yesterday I was overjoyed to discover that the township that I live in does not fluoridate it’s water supply. WOOT!!!

Unfortunately, between 60 and 70 percent of the country is not so fortunate. Americans are more likely to encounter fluoridated water in large towns and cities than in smaller, outlying townships. Since most of humanity clusters in urban areas guess what? Unless you take special efforts to remove the additives from your water you’re probably drinking crap, and a Brita filter won’t cut it, either. No matter what the ads tell you, the filters you buy at the store WILL NOT remove fluoride from your tap water.

So what’s wrong with fluoride? I’m glad that you asked.

Calcium fluoride is naturally present in some mineral waters and even some foods, but that’s not the chemical you should be worried about, because what’s being put in America’s water supplies is not calcium fluoride. Do a little digging and you’ll discover that it’s something much, much worse. In fact, the so-called “fluoride” being dumped in 60-70% of our drinking water is so poisonous that only a few parts per billion are apparently enough to lower our children’s IQs. Influential operatives sliming the corridors of power have known this all along, which TOTALLY pisses me off, SO . . . Full report after the jump, and it’s NOT a Hedonistic Pleasure.

NeoCons are more than just evil: They’re also a bunch of cowards.

Several alternative news sites, news aggregators and web logs critical of U.K., European, U.S. and Israeli governments are frequently hacked or victims of Denial-of-Service attacks. These onslaughts are so pervasive, large-scale and aggressive that they are likely financed by people with very deep pockets: Either the governments themselves, their private sector puppeteers, or their hired henchmen.

(What we call NeoCons here in the U.S. are called NeoLiberals in the U.K. I suppose that in this context “neo”= “new” = “has nothing to do with the original.” Basically, they are all frauds.)

In my opinion, frequent cyberattacks are a pretty good indicator that these news and opinion sites are telling the truth: Why else would such extreme efforts be put into shutting down the discourse or silencing free speech? What are the financiers of these hacking attempts afraid of?

Think about it: If the information posted at these alternative sites is misguided or incorrect, honest representatives of the blameless governmental body should counter with: “You are mistaken, here is the truth, and here are the links to our evidence.” Why? Because it’s the cheapest, most effective way to counter an unfavorable message with a better one. It takes an awful lot of money, time and people-power to just plain shut down the opposition.

Bottom line: NeoCon attempts to stifle alternative websites are pathetic and will fail in the long run. NeoCons may be evil, sneaky and rich, but they are outnumbered by regular folks hellbent on telling the truth.

To find out what’s really happening, you need to see what foreigners are saying about us, and then take heed.

WEST WING

The Shrinking Influence of the US Federal Reserve

By Gabor Steingart in Washington

Humiliation for Mr. Dollar: Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the United States Federal Reserve Bank, faces a general investigation by the International Monetary Fund. Just one more example of the Fed losing its power . . .

. . . For seven years, U.S. President George W. Bush refused to allow the IMF to conduct its assessment. Even now, he has only given the IMF board his consent under one important condition. The review can begin in Bush’s last year in office, but it may not be completed until he has left the White HOuse. This is bad news for the Fed Chairman.

If I were Ben Bernake I’d just step down now and let some other douchebag take the fall. Bernake didn’t start this quiet war on the American public. He joined late in the game and was given his orders, and he’s been a good soldier for the Reich. Unfortunately for him, however, he’ll be the one left holding the bag when the whole mess is documented and finally presented to the world.

Obama’s support for the FISA “compromise”

Glenn Greenwald

Saturday June 21, 2008 09:53 EDT

In the past 24 hours, specifically beginning with the moment Barack Obama announced that he now supports the Cheney/Rockefeller/Hoyer House bill, there have magically arisen — in places where one would never have expected to find them — all sorts of claims about why this FISA “compromise” isn’t really so bad after all. People who spent the week railing against Steny Hoyer as an evil, craven enabler of the Bush administration — or who spent the last several months identically railing against Jay Rockefeller — suddenly changed their minds completely when Barack Obama announced that he would do the same thing as they did. What had been a vicious assault on our Constitution, and corrupt complicity to conceal Bush lawbreaking, magically and instantaneously transformed into a perfectly understandable position, even a shrewd and commendable decision, that we should not only accept, but be grateful for as undertaken by Obama for our Own Good.

Accompanying those claims are a whole array of factually false statements about the bill, deployed in service of defending Obama’s indefensible — and deeply unprincipled — support for this “compromise” . . .

Remember when the White House and it’s mainstream media sockpuppets pooh poohed an angry American public when it said “There are “no plans for a NAFTA superhighway, it’s all just a conspiracy theory?”

Name: Porkus Maximus Tex:

A giant, voracious subspecies of pork-barrel patronage and crony capitalism inhabiting the Lone Star State. Will thrive in a climate of apathy, or when ignored by citizens, who are unwittingly consumed.

Riiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggghhhhhhht. OK. “Trans Texas Corridor,” then. It’s a distinction without a difference. The TTC contract has already been awarded to Cintra, an enormous conglomerate based in Spain.

Meanwhile the superhighway plotters were seizing private property using Eminent Domain procedures, buying up the community newspapers along the planned highway in order to stifle dissent, and even breaking ground and beginning construction in some places. Check here for an archive of NAFTA and associated global transportation news.

No matter how you may personally feel about the concept of trans-continental corridors, you must at least recognize that our corporatist/globalist overlords are a bunch of lying assholes. Personally, I believe that no trans-continent superhighway or rail system is by itself a bad thing. What’s reprehensible is that the corporatists are implementing their Master Plans without the knowledge or consent of the people affected by them, which is by definition unAmerican. It is fascism, this merging of corporate and government interests, with top-down decisions screwing over the citizens whose needs, desires and opinions are neither solicited nor addressed.

Here’s something ELSE to think about: NAFTA and globalism in general are tied into the environmental movement in a high-level, very big way, so beware! Often environmentalists are completely unaware of the MOTIVES of the corporatist puppetmasters funding their projects and pulling at their heartstrings. If you are an environmental activist, keep your eyes peeled for ham-handed, top down “solutions” to corporate-made problems that - surprise! - benefit corporate and government interests at the expense of individual liberties. These tradeoffs are NOT NECESSARY.

(The Hedonistic Pleasureseeker is in favor of sustainable development, but hates that otherwise noble environmentalist concepts and concerns are being cynically used to force a global control agenda.)

Through the cynical use of the concept of Sustainable Environmentalism, people’s property, their liberty and their lives become subordinate to corporatist manipulation. The central purpose behind today’s environmental scares and how they tie in with NAFTA, “Deep Integration” and the Security and Prosperity Program, to create a government controlled society. Sustainable Development, founded and funded by the elites in the Club of Rome, is the synthesis of the ARTIFICIAL dialectic between the right and left “wings” of American politics. SINCE THE DIALECTIC IS ARTIFICIAL, THE SYNTHESIS IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY!!!

Considering how governments FUCK UP just about everything they touch, one would think We the People would have a problem with fascist control, yes?

(We the People don’t like TYRANTS. We the People think TYRANTS deserve to be eaten by fire ants.)

So! Whatcha Gonna DO about it?

Texas citizens are suing, the Oklahoma legislature is passing anti-NAFTA legislation, Arizona is fixing to kick some major corporatist ass, and Homeland Security and the Texas Department of Transportation are on the defensive. It’s worth checking into: What is YOUR state doing to claim or maintain it’s sovereignty?

Oklahoma Recalls Bill That Would Have Facilitated NAFTA

Dana Gabriel

The Oklahoma State Senate voted to recall a bill that would have further facilitated plans for the NAFTA Superhighway to run through the state. There were fears that parts of Bill 1507, which dealt with Foreign Trade Zones, were tied to the superhighway which is to extend from Mexico to Canada. There were also concerns that this would lead to private property seizures through eminent domain. This is already taking place in parts of rural Texas with the construction of the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC), which is to be the first leg of this superhighway infrastructure.

Some have argued that Bill 1507 would have allowed for the creation of foreign owned smart ports. This would have allowed for imported goods to pass through the U.S./Mexican border without going through customs until Oklahoma. This follows in the same line as other proposed inland ports, such as the one in Kansas City. The NAFTA Superhighway will be a borderless open transportation system that will further facilitate the flow of cheap goods from China. Oklahoma has already passed legislation to stop the TTC from coming through the state.

The NAFTA Superhighway is the necessary infrastructure needed for the creation of a North American Union. It will serve as a highway for cheap Chinese goods and cheap labor from Mexico and Latin America. It will untimely benefit multinational corporations, who view borders as barriers to trade and greater profits. Last year, Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., introduced a House resolution that stated congressional opposition to the construction of a superhighway or entry into North American Union.

The link from the Mexican border to Oklahoma is to be the highest priority, and has been branded the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC). If completed, it would encompass more than 4,000 miles. It is being financed by the Spanish company Cintra, who will lease and operate it as a toll road. It is set to have 1,200-foot corridors with separate lanes for passenger vehicles and large trucks, and room for future upgrades. Opposition to the TTC is growing, and for the second straight year, ranchers and other opponents marched on the Texas state capital in protest. Some might recall that in a blatant effort to try and stifle opposition, a company with close ties to Cintra purchased many local newspapers from towns that fall in the TTC’s path. The TTC is part of the NAFTA Superhighway, and is proof of further integration into a North American Union.

The recalling of this bill by the Oklahoma State Senate is another small and maybe even temporary victory in the struggle to stop the NAFTA Superhighway and the North American Union. Nevertheless, it is encouraging that citizens concerns in regards to this issue are being echoed by more and more legislators. Many states have already passed anti-North American Union and anti-NAFTA Superhighway resolutions. The NAFTA Superhighway is a threat to private property, our sovereignty, and security.

I have a new website! I might as well do something creative with my frustration, yes? From now on I’ll just put my bitchings about censorship and political muzzling over there, and focus on hedonistic pleasureseeking over here

UBS Helped Clients Hide $20 Billion, Birkenfeld Says (Update1)

By David Voreacos and Carlyn Kolker

June 19 (Bloomberg) — The private banking unit of UBS AG, the Swiss bank, engaged in a variety of schemes to help wealthy U.S. clients conceal $20 billion in assets and evade income tax laws, an ex-banker said today in pleading guilty to conspiracy.

Bradley Birkenfeld, 43, and his UBS colleagues helped wealthy Americans hide money by telling them to put cash and jewelry in Swiss safety deposit boxes, buy artwork and jewels using offshore accounts, and set up accounts in the names of others, he admitted in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Birkenfeld is helping a Justice Department probe of Zurich- based UBS, and said the practices he described are common among his former colleagues. Birkenfeld said UBS helped wealthy Americans evade taxes even after signing a 2001 agreement that required it to identify account holders and their income to U.S. tax authorities. He said many clients refused to disclose their assets because it would defeat the purpose of banking with UBS - - evading taxes.

Ex-Bear Stearns Fund Managers Indicted for Fraud (Update4)

By Patricia Hurtado and Thom Weidlich

June 19 (Bloomberg) — Former Bear Stearns Cos. hedge fund managers Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin were indicted for mail fraud and conspiracy in the first prosecution stemming from a federal investigation of last year’s mortgage-market collapse.

The two men were charged with misleading investors about the health of two Bear Stearns hedge funds whose implosion ignited the subprime mortgage crisis. Cioffi was also charged with insider trading in the indictment, which cites a series of e-mails between the two men. They both face as much as 20 years in prison if convicted of conspiracy, and Cioffi faces an additional 20-year term if found guilty of insider trading.

And the U.S. squints and says “Hanh? GAG ORDER?”

BBC uncovers lost Iraq billions

Waxman: “It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history.”

A BBC investigation estimates that around $23bn (£11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or just not properly accounted for in Iraq.

The BBC’s Panorama programme has used US and Iraqi government sources to research how much some private contractors have profited from the conflict and rebuilding.

A US gagging order is preventing discussion of the allegations.

The order applies to 70 court cases against some of the top US companies.

War profiteering

While Presdient George W Bush remains in the White House, it is unlikely the gagging orders will be lifted.

To date, no major US contractor faces trial for fraud or mismanagement in Iraq.

The president’s Democratic opponents are keeping up the pressure over war profiteering in Iraq.

Henry Waxman, who chairs the House committee on oversight and government reform, said: “The money that’s gone into waste, fraud and abuse under these contracts is just so outrageous, it’s egregious.

“It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history.”

(UPDATE! Now we have photos of the “NOT Cheney!”)

UPDATE: Where did this information come from, anyway? The link below outlines selected information from papers received by Henry Waxman, Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform at the US House of Representatives, between Friday 16th May 2008 and Monday 26th May 2008. This information was provided by Dr. Sue Arrigo (California Medical License G 50197), a Two-Star General seconded to the Pentagon from the CIA between October 2003 and July 2004.

Someone has set loose the hounds on Halliburton. Meanwhile, Cheney has been “detained” in his so-called undisclosed location. Personally, I hope he’s being waterboarded but hey thats just me being bitter.

(I would NOT want a job as Cheney’s body double!)

It’s interesting, the information coming out on the Cheney “doubles.” I’ve always been suspicious of some photographs purporting to contain images of Cheney. He simply looks too young, too upright for him to be the real deal. We know the man is practically at death’s door, a stooped-over troll with a failing ticker and a bad attitude, so why do they always choose younger, healthier actors to play his part? “Public image?” Really people? Do we want SO badly to believe our leaders are “strong” that we won’t even notice an obvious plant? Come on, people: Deep down we KNOW the man is really a fleet of Malfunctioning Cyborgs!!!

(Not a convincing double, IMHO. Were they in a rush to find someone?)

THE TEN-GALLON HAT EPISODE

On Wednesday 21st May, a ‘Cheney’, sporting a ten-gallon hat’ was reported by Associated Press, well known to be a US Government mouthpiece, to have addressed 200 graduating Coastguard cadet officers at the 127th commencement ceremony at the US Coast Guard Academy. Also on the podium was Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff (Reichsminister Hermann Goering).

(Actually, the hat looks ridiculous. Whose stupid idea was it anyway?)

Unterreichsführer Cheney does not wear hats, and neither does he stand upright. He is ‘vertically challenged’ and is rather stout. The ‘gentleman’ under the ten-gallon hat stood up straight and was somewhat thinner than the latter-day Himmler is known to be. The wearer of the ten-gallon hat was greeted with ‘a thunderous 19-gun salute. A jet and helicopter flew over as cadets tossed their hats in the air’. Himmler did not follow suit in order not to blow his cover (so to speak).

(The REAL Cheney does not wear hats)

To give them their due, certain members of the Fourth Estate thought there was ‘something funny’ about the Unterreichsführer double’s headgear . . . Asked to comment by the Editor of this service, a veteran US analyst ‘with connections’ whom we have known for many years responded to us on 23rd May at 00:50 UK time in the following vein, having studied the video images in question:

‘Here are a few comments regarding Cheney’s ten-gallon hat and here is my take on the chapeau. This guy’s performing a balancing act as a Cheney double. I have seen numerous photos and this Cheney is thinner and is not stupped over with a hump in his back when he walks. Furthermore the double’s head didn’t match Cheney’s so they affixed a Texas-style bonnet on it and viola! Only a long-horned steer could tell the difference by the stink!’

It’s not just Cheney, either. They’ve all got body doubles, for obvious security reasons, I mean, who DOESN’T want to see these guys assassinated? There are (were?) at least two Henry Paulsons running around the globe talking smack about our doomed economy. There’s a Hillary who looks much younger and more well rested than the “regulation” Hillary. There’s the Hillary with the mole by her lip, and the Hillary without it. There’s that smooth Texas-talkin’ dancin’ and conductin’ G.W. Bush and that somnambulant, jerky, babbling fuck.
Here’s my HPS Theory of the Day: Why does Shrub act as though he doesn’t have a care in the world? Because you’re looking at an actor playing his part, while the real G.W. Bush 1) is already dead, or 2) cowers in an undisclosed location, hiding from a sniper’s bullet. It’s elementary my dears.

UPDATE, June 10, 2008, 6pm est, from World Reports:

LONDON, 10th June 2008: If the Editor were to publish what we know, and is known, about the global tensions raging behind the scenes right now, the keyboard would overheat, the screen might glow, and the Editor might risk self-vaporisation. Reports of the self-appointed, arrogant globalist claque falling out at its annual Bilderberg meeting, as occurred in 2007, of ongoing bitter arguments and position-taking inside the Federal Reserve’s structures, of associates of highest-level trustees being abruptly conveyed to safe houses for their own safety, of World Court/ICJ immunities ceasing to apply, and of some of the most notorious criminalists holding high office quivvering at long last in their boots, would fill many column inches, or feet, of this service.

Democratic President John F. Kennedy - April 27, 1961

“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.”

I post the Temptations’ “Ball of Confusion” in light of the posting of the attendee list of the most recent Bilderberg Group meeting that took place in in Chantilly, VA last week. Note the conspicuous absence of ASIA on this list.

What does it mean? Well for starters, the Bilderbergers are a Euro-centric power elite who only just started playing nice with Japan. China was never really a part of this cabal, except in the colonial sense in certain big cities were the Rockefellers have banks.

Still, my gut tells me that a huge silent war rages between the Euro-Elites of the West and China, which is why I mention it. This was a last minute “Death Throes of the Beast” panic meeting, during which the Group FINALLY gave up on the Clinton Machine and accepted the ascension of the Obamamaniac faction led by Trilateralist Zbigniew Brzezinski. The question of the restoration trillions of stolen offshore dollars loomed overhead. High tension and infighting were reported. Every G8 country stands to lose, big time, if the Bilderbergers’ treasonous activities go public, so I can only imagine it was an unhappy few days of mutual blackmail and a changing of the Globalist Guard.

If a silent war indeed rages, and if I were a betting person, I’d be putting put my money on China right now. The last post at Global Reports supports my gut feelings, although I am MOST annoyed that the Evildoers may sail off into the sunset with trillion dollar retirement funds and immunity from prosecution. Please, G8: Say it isn’t so! Stay tuned.

Ball of Confusion

by The Temptations

Eddie:
People moving out, people moving in. Why, because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run but you sure can’t hide. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Vote for me and I’ll set you free. Rap on, brother, rap on.

Dennis:
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the…(preacher.)
And it seems nobody’s interested in learning but the…(teacher.)
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation.
Ball of confusion. Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today. Woo, hey, hey.

Paul:
The sale of pills are at an all time high.
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky.
The cities ablaze in the summer time.
And oh, the beat goes on.

Dennis:
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul.
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon.
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything.

Melvin:
And the band played on.
So, round and around and around we go.
Where the world’s headed, nobody knows.

[Instrumental]

Oh, great googalooga, can’t you hear me talking to you.
Just a ball of confusion.
Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today.
Woo, hey, hey.

Eddie:
Fear in the air, tension everywhere.
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record’s a gas.

Dennis:
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation.

Melvin:
And the band played on.
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors,
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills,
Hippies moving to the hills. People all over the world are shouting, ‘End the war.’

Melvin:
And the band played on.

[Instrumental]

Great googalooga, can’t you hear me talking to you.
Sayin’… ball of confusion.
That’s what the world is today, hey, hey.
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.
Sayin’… ball of confusion.
That’s what the world is today, hey, hey.
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.
Sayin’… ball of confusion.

‘Europe’s nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation’.

-Jean Monnet (Founding Father Of The EU)

On Thursday the citizens of Ireland have an opportunity to tell the Fascists at the EU where to stick it: The Libson Treaty is up for a vote!

Due to the way it’s Constitution is set up, Ireland is the only country whose people get to vote on whether they want to be a part of the European Union. The rest of Europe was betrayed by it’s so-called “representatives,” who voted “yes” when the people clamored “no.” It sort of reminds me of the Democratic party taking impeachment “off the table:” Useless buggers, the whole lot.

(UPDATE, 6:00pm est: Not surprisingly, it looks as though World Reports agrees)

The Irish are notoriously stubborn and contrary, so let’s hope they deal the fatal blow to the “union” prototyped by Hitler himself, the same style of governmental body later adopted by the Communist Politoburo in the USSR.

These planned “unions” are not your mother’s unions as they do nothing to help the ordinary worker. Rather, they represent “Superstates,” regional powers whose laws and regulations supercede those of it’s member countries. Frankly, the Superstate as conceived by the Powers that Be was an awful idea from the gitgo, as it is designed to wipe out national sovereignty in favor of unelected elites and is thus a precursor to the so-called “New World Order” . . . Which wouldn’t be so bad if We the People actually wanted a New World Order and had a hand in it’s construction, including the REAL (not contrived) choice of representatives. Inconveniently, We the People in General (worldwide) don’t want to give up our national sovereignty; hence the kind of Straussian statements you see at the top of this post.

(It’s really personal sovereignty the People are clinging to, but we’ll take what we can get. So who in the hell do these people pushing the Superstates think they are, anyway?)

The New World Order COULD be a wonderful thing if it were developed by the rank and file. For instance, I think a One World Currency, based on commodities such as metals, would solve a LOT of problems and be good for everyone, rich and poor, because commodity based currencies are relatively stable. However, I also think the use of particular currencies should be as voluntary as any other commercial vehicle. Straussian authoritarianism is for the birds, and fiat currencies eventually become worthless, so let the People decide what has value and what is dross.

Ireland has what may be its last opportunity to claim its sovereignty. They fought England all these years only to roll over and die for the EU? I sincerely hope not! I hope Ireland sees through all the EU marketing lies and drives a stake through the Libson Treaty once and for all. Let’s watch!
