With "The Bailout" they are just stealing more money from us

The "PEN" sends me a lot of useful and truthful information and it really seems like they are as upset about our Government stealing from us and selling out America to the richest of the rich as I am. Anyway, McCain and Palin are only puppets of the masters behind the scenes. Like Bush who had one of the puppeteers as his VP. The Republicans are now selling two brain free candidates to the US and seem to do well with it. Sometimes I ask myself why the level of stupidity is so high. No thinking child left behind? Is our system really only breeding a bunch of morons who can't tell an innovator who is working with facts and telling the truth like Barack Obama from a babbling puppet who is only telling lies - not only to David Letterman - and is more experienced but not smarter than Sarah Palin, who herself is dumb as a stick?

Tina Fey does her impression of Sarah Palin on SNL (Saturday Night Live) with actual quotes from real Palin interviews and the audience cracks up. So did I when I heard the original interviews. Most of my friends are more qualified to lead this country than Sarah Palin is. But back to the so called Bailout that is supposed to collect the rest of our money that the weapons industry and the Iraq contractors did not get their hands on and put it in the pockets of the rest of our big Corporations that are behind the Bush administration. The people behind Bush raped, raided and looted our country with the help of the Republicans. And now they take whatever is left, to make sure that the next administration has nothing to work with. If they should succeed in fixing the elections a third time and McCain/Palin make it into the White House, some money might magically reappear to give the impression that the administration knows their job. And after a brief recovery the looting will begin again. And there is only one group of losers: America and 95 percent of Americans. How any American who makes less than $250,000 can even think of electing their own demise with the Republican ticket is beyond me. So Obama should have 95% of America behind him. Why is that not the case? Here the PEN article I have received today:

Urgent Action Alert: No More Bailout Votes Till Congress Hears From Some REAL Economists

Why Is Congress Even Listening To Those Who Caused The Wreck On How To Fix It?

Isn't it a miracle what can happen when the people actually speak out. Votes change in Congress. And please take careful note of this fact -- the stock market was down 600 points BEFORE Congress even voted, and reason is that investors KNOW that Paulson's plunder plan does not address any of the real problems, and were as afraid it might pass as not. It was a non-starter, it needs to be torn up and we need to draft a new plan from scratch.

Now it is up to us, we the people, to provide the real leadership that is so lacking in Congress, to push for real and substantial progressive policy change, and the underlying principle must be this, and this is what we need to tell them, with our newfound vocal power.

No More Bailout Votes Until Congress Hears From Some Real Economists.

Action Page: http://www.usalone.net/cindy/real_economists.php

And here are the toll free numbers for Congress again, 800 828-0498, 800-473-6711, now that we know that they WILL actually listen, at least enough of them, when we DO actually speak out in greater and greater numbers and loudly enough. They need to hear from us again now, more that EVER, to tell them what they need to do instead. Please make your calls and send your emails. And if your representatives voted for the bailout the first time, lambaste them, and if they voted "No", thank them profusely. And we again thank Cindy Sheehan, who is so seriously challenging Nancy Pelosi for the congressional seat in San Francisco right now, for her own leadership in making this action page happen. Before Congress does anything else they MUST take the time to hear from some real economists, like Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz, who offers real wisdom in this article from his article last week in the Nation magazine. Here are some excerpts:

With lack of oversight and transparency the cause of the current problem, how could they make a proposal so short in both? If a quick consensus is required, why not include provisions to stop the source of bleeding, to aid the millions of Americans that are losing their homes? Why not spend as much on them as on Wall Street? Do they still believe in trickle-down economics, when for the past eight years money has been trickling up to the wizards of Wall Street? Why not enact bankruptcy reform, to help Americans write down the value of the mortgage on their overvalued home? No one benefits from these costly foreclosures.

The Scandinavian countries showed the way, almost two decades ago. By issuing preferred shares with warrants (options), one reduces the public's downside risk and insures that they participate in some of the upside potential. This approach is not only proven, it provides both incentives and wherewithal to resume lending. It furthermore avoids the hopeless task of trying to value millions of complex mortgages and even more complex products in which they are embedded, and it deals with the "lemons" problem - the government getting stuck with the worst or most overpriced assets.

Finally, we need to impose a special financial sector tax to pay for the bailouts conducted so far. We also need to create a reserve fund so that poor taxpayers won't have to be called upon again to finance Wall Street's foolishness. -- End Stiglitz Excepts --

We need open, public and TRANSPARENT hearings so the American people can hear from REAL experts like Joseph E. Stiglitz, and decide in the clear light of day what is to be done with OUR economic destiny, and not in secret back rooms like it's been done so far, where they confiscate all the Blackberrys to keep us all in the dark.

And THEN they write the legislation. And they don't leave town until they do it, because we're not going to reelect any of them anyway unless they do.

Here is a donations page for also for Cindy Sheehan. Many of you have donated very generously, but many of you have NOT. And time is so short. Cindy Sheehan Donations: http://www.usalone.net/cindy/donations.php

And what if you don't have any money? No excuses. Do you have a telephone? Does it allow you to place outgoing toll free calls? So after you call Congress, Cindy needs phone bankers, lots of phone bankers, now. NOW, now. Use the link on the page above to volunteer. What Congress is being stampeded into doing, again, is EXACTLY backwards. Would you buy a "hen protection plan" from one of the foxes? There is a real simple solution to this whole mess. These institutions are in trouble mostly because they were looted by their own corporate executives. We march an army of forensic accountants in there, and tell those Wall Street pigs that if they don't find the money fast they are all going to jail. And then we file negligence and breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits against them all, to recoup every dime that disappeared. Our dear Secretary of the Treasury Paulson pulled down hundreds of millions all by himself. And now he wants the American people to make up the difference out of OUR pockets? He can practically finance the bailout PERSONALLY. And if there were any justice in the world he would. And let them all know, that their job description is NOT ignoring the will of the American people.

So far the PEN endorsement of Cindy Sheehan who has been opposed to the first looting of our country by this administration - the Iraq occupation - for a long time now. Nancy Pelosi and many other Bush-Democrats need to change their positions or go. Habeas Corpus, the shredding of our Constitution, the Concentration Camps at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, the warrantless wiretapping and spying on innocent citizens with the patriot act and continuous funding for the occupation of Iraq, and many more things, were only possible with their help. And they are shielding the criminals Bush and Cheney from impeachment. Don't you think it is time to show them what we think of them?

Contractors trade slaves in IRAQ

Here a brief substantiation of my warning to be cautious to the young person interested to study in an Arab country (God is everywhere you are, below). Thanks to www.WantToKnow.info we can see that the US - so called - Christians are in some cases far more dangerous than the Arab Muslims:

KBR, Partner in Iraq Contract Sued in Human Trafficking Case
August 28, 2008, Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/27/AR2008082703237.html

A Washington law firm filed a lawsuit yesterday against KBR, one of the largest U.S. contractors in Iraq, alleging that the company and its Jordanian subcontractor engaged in the human trafficking of Nepali workers. Agnieszka Fryszman, a partner at Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, said 13 Nepali men, between the ages of 18 and 27, were recruited in Nepal to work as kitchen staff in hotels and restaurants in Amman, Jordan. But once the men arrived in Jordan, their passports were seized and they were told they were being sent to a military facility in Iraq, Fryszman said. As the men were driven in cars to Iraq, they were stopped by insurgents. Twelve were kidnapped and later executed, Fryszman said. The thirteenth man survived and worked in a warehouse in Iraq for 15 months before returning to Nepal. The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California on behalf of the workers' families and the survivor, claims that the trafficking scheme was engineered by KBR and its Jordanian subcontractor, Daoud & Partners, according to Fryszman. This spring, an administrative law judge at the Department of Labor, which has jurisdiction over cases that involve on the job injuries at overseas military bases, ordered Daoud to pay $1 million to the families of 11 of the victims.

Black "Strategists" against Obama

It is amazing how easily the Republicans are getting away with playing the race card in their favor. Judge for yourself: The Republican so called "Strategists" on the slightly more Democratic oriented TV stations are mostly African-American and spewing hate against Barack Obama, the man who is trying to help the middle class, the poorer Americans and minorities. It is amazing how some African-Americans can support the party that thinks and loudly says they are "uppity". Here a short explanation for those who do not know the meaning of the word that southern Congressman Lynn Westmoreland called Obama and the people of his complexion:

"Uppity ******* got lynched", and anyone from the south who does not know this word must be quite young. "Uppity" were black people who got out of line, they looked at white women, tried to vote, protected their women from rape by white men and thought they had rights. They thought they had the rights you give to human beings. Uppity is a disgusting racial term, it is one of those code words that many voting Americans understand whether they admit it or not. And the Republicans currently use it in the south instead of the "N"-word.

So the so called "Strategists" the Republicans send to discussions on TV programs leaning toward the Democratic Party are black to make the false point that African-Americans would not support Obama. Looking at the Republican Stations where most Blacks might not even be allowed to enter through the back door, all you see on those Shows and Programs are white "Strategists". Some dressed up with Lipstick and heavy make up to look a little bit like Sarah Palin (ridiculous as seen on Larry King tonight - why not choose them either good looking or smart - most of them are neither) to make sure not one of the right wing nuts gets the idea that the Republicans talk to black people during the election phase. Next time you get a chance to watch one the political shows and magazines, have a conscious look at the people sent out by the Republican Party.

Another term that is being used against Barack Obama is "elitist". Barack Obama was raised on food stamps by a single mother. John McCain is member of a Military Dynasty, his wife was outfitted for $300,000 when she appeared with Laura Bush at the RNC and the McCains have seven houses (some reports speak of nine (9))and they own about 100 Million Dollars. And they - of all people - call Barack Obama an elitist. How would anyone even remotely believe anything that comes our of John McBush's mouth anymore, anyway. The Republicans who are trying to sell Sarah Palin on talk shows lie through their teeth, destroy their own reputations, because a child can see that these claims have no merit. To be able to see Russia from Alaska does not make anyone an expert on foreign policy. Paris Hilton has extremely more "foreign experience" than Palin. Maybe McCain should have picked her as his VP. It would not have made a big difference. Paris Hilton might even have been a better choice.

The Media covers up and punishes

Being a journalist myself, I have been observing this trend for a while. The channel FOX even won a lawsuit that their news do not have to contain truth. So here from one of my favorite sources www.WantToKnow.info - favorite, because they are reliable - some pointers why our country is in such a mess.

Leading Journalists Expose Manipulations in the Media

The riveting excerpts below are from the revealing accounts of 20 award-winning journalists in the highly acclaimed book Into the Buzzsaw. These courageous writers were prevented by corporate media ownership from reporting major news stories. Some were even fired or laid off. They have won numerous awards, including several Emmys and a Pulitzer. Join in building a better world by helping to spread this news across the land.

Jane Akre—Fox News. After our struggle to air an honest report [on hormones in milk], Fox fired the general manager [of our station]. The new GM said that if we didn’t agree to changes that the lawyers were insisting upon, we’d be fired for insubordination in 48 hours. We pleaded with [him] to look at the facts we’d uncovered. His reply: “We paid $3 billion dollars for these stations. We’ll tell you what the news is. The news is what we say it is!” [After we refused] Fox’s GM presented us an agreement that would give us a full year of salary, and benefits worth close to $200,000, but with strings attached: no mention of how Fox covered up the story and no opportunity to ever expose the facts. [After declining] we were fired. (click for more)

Dan Rather—CBS, Multiple Emmy Awards. What's going on is a belief that you can manipulate communicable trust between the leadership and the led. The way you do that is you don't let the press in anywhere. Access to war is extremely limited. The fiercer the combat, the more the access is limited, [including] access to information. This is a direct contradiction of the stated policy of maximum access to information consistent with national security. There was a time in South Africa when people would put flaming tires around people's necks if they dissented. In some ways the fear [now in the U.S.] is that you will have a flaming tire of lack of patriotism put around your neck. That fear keeps journalists from asking the tough questions. I am humbled to say, I do not except myself from this criticism. (click for more)

Monika Jensen-Stevenson—Emmy-winning producer for 60 minutes. Robert R. Garwood—14 years a prisoner of the Vietnamese—was found guilty in the longest court-martial in US history. At the end of the court-martial, there seemed no question that Garwood was a monstrous traitor. Several years later in 1985, Garwood was speaking publicly about something that had never made the news during his court-martial. He knew of other American prisoners in Vietnam long after the war was over. He was supported by Vietnam veterans whose war records were impeccable….My sources included outstanding experts like former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency General Tighe and returned POWs like Captain McDaniel, who held the Navy’s top award for bravery. With such advocates, it was hard not to consider the possibility that prisoners (some 3,500) had in fact been kept by the Vietnamese as hostages to make sure the US would pay the more than $3 billion in war reparations. [After the war] American POWs had become worthless pawns. The US had not paid the promised monies and had no intention of paying in the future. (click for more)

Kristina Borjesson—CBS, Emmy award winner. Pierre Salinger announced to the world on Nov. 8, 1996, that he’d received documents proving that a US Navy missile had accidentally downed [TWA flight 800]. That same day, FBI’s Jim Kallstrom called a press conference. A man raised his hand and asked why the Navy was involved in the recovery and investigation while a possible suspect. “Remove him!” [Kallstrom] yelled. Two men leapt over to the questioner and grabbed him by the arms. There was a momentary chill in the air after the guy had been dragged out of the room. Kallstrom and entourage acted as if nothing had happened. [Kallstrom was later hired by CBS.] (click for more)

Greg Palast—BBC. In the months leading up to the November [2000] balloting, Gov. Jeb Bush ordered elections supervisors to purge 58,000 voters on the grounds they were felons not entitled to vote. As it turns out, only a handful of these voters were felons. This extraordinary news ran on page one of the country’s leading paper. Unfortunately, it was the wrong country: Britain. In the USA, it was not covered. The office of the governor [also] illegally ordered the removal of felons from voter rolls—real felons—but with the right to vote under law. As a result, 50,000 of these voters could not vote. The fact that 90% of these were Democrats should have made it news as this alone more than accounted for Bush’s victory. (click for more)

Michael Levine—25-year veteran of DEA, writer for New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today. The Chang Mai “factory” that the CIA prevented me from destroying was the source of massive amounts of heroin being smuggled into the US in the bodies and body bags of GIs killed in Vietnam. Case after case was killed by CIA and State Department intervention and there wasn’t a thing we could do about it….In 1980, CIA-recruited mercenaries and drug traffickers unseated Bolivia’s democratically elected president. Immediately after the coup, cocaine production increased massively. Bolivia [became] the source of virtually 100% of the cocaine entering the US. This was the beginning of the crack “plague.”…The CIA along with State and Justice Departments had to protect their drug-dealing assets by destroying a DEA investigation. How do I know? I was the inside source….I sat down at my desk in the American embassy and wrote evidence of my charges. I addressed it to Newsweek. Three weeks later DEA’s internal security [called] to notify me that I was under investigation….The highlight of the 60 Minutes piece is when the administrator of the DEA, Federal Judge Robert Bonner, tells Mike Wallace, “There is no other way to put it, Mike, [what the CIA did] is drug smuggling. It’s illegal.” (click for more)

Gary Webb—San Jose Mercury News, Pulitzer Prize winner. In 1996, I wrote a series of stories that began this way: For the better part of a decade, a Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods gangs of LA and funneled millions in drug profits to a guerilla army run by the CIA. The cocaine that flooded in helped spark a crack explosion in urban America….The story was developing a momentum all of its own, despite a virtual news blackout from the major media. Ultimately, it was public pressure that forced the national newspapers into the fray. The Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times published stories, but spent little time exploring the CIA’s activities. Instead, my reporting and I became the focus of their scrutiny. It was remarkable [Mercury News editor] Ceppos wrote, that the four Washington Post reporters assigned to debunk the series “could not find a single significant factual error.” A few months later, the Mercury News [due to intense CIA pressure] backed away from the story, publishing a long column by Ceppos apologizing for “shortcomings.” The New York Times hailed Ceppos for “setting a brave new standard,” and splashed his apology on their front page, the first time the series had ever been mentioned there. I quit the Mercury News not long after that….Do we have a free press today? Sure. It’s free to report all the sex scandals, all the stock market news, [and] every new health fad that comes down the pike. But when it comes to the real down and dirty stuff—such stories are not even open for discussion. (click for more)

John Kelly—Author, ABC producer. ABC hired me to help produce a story about an investment firm that was heavily involved with the CIA. Part of the ABC report charged that the CIA had plotted to assassinate an American, Ron Rewald, the president of [the investment firm]. Scott Barnes said on camera that the CIA had asked him to kill Rewald. After the show aired, CIA officials met with ABC executive David Burke, [who] was sufficiently impressed “by the vigor with which they made their case” to order an on-air “clarification.” But that was not enough. [CIA Director] Casey called ABC Chairman Goldenson. [Thus] despite all the documented evidence presented in the program, despite ABC standing by the program in a second broadcast, Peter Jennings reported that ABC could no longer substantiate the charges. That same day, the CIA filed a formal complaint with the FCC charging that ABC had “deliberately distorted” the news. In the complaint, Casey asked that ABC be stripped of its TV and radio licenses….During this time, Capital Cities Communications was maneuvering to buy ABC. [CIA Director] Casey was one of the founders of Cap Cities. Cap Cities bought ABC. Within months, the entire investigative unit was dispersed. (click for more)

Robert McChesney—500 radio & TV appearances. [There has been a] striking consolidation of the media from hundreds of firms to an industry dominated by less than ten enormous transnational conglomerates. The largest ten media firms own all US TV networks, most TV stations, all major film studios, all major music companies, nearly all cable TV channels, much of the book and magazine publishing [industry], and much, much more. Expensive investigative journalism—especially that which goes after national security or powerful corporate interests—is discouraged. Largely irrelevant human interest/tragedy stories get extensive coverage….A few weeks after the war began in Afghanistan, CNN president Isaacson authorized CNN to provide two different versions of the war: a more critical one for the global audience and a sugarcoated one for Americans….It is nearly impossible to conceive of a better world without some changes in the media status quo. We have no time to waste. (click for more)

GOD is everywhere you are!

Last night I received an Email from a young man who is worried about his future. I took all the information out of the letter that could reveal his identity and left the important parts, so he remains anonymous. GOD is giving him an opportunity to evaluate another culture and to learn about new things. And GOD will always be by his side. Here the letter:

I am a university student. I had applied for a study program scholarship at a University in an Arab Country. Their facilities and the quality of the education sounds very good and promising for my career. However, the most difficult thread for me is that it is in a Muslim country. I'm a true believer of Christ. Here I am active in Church youth ministry, enjoy my time in worshiping God, have a special time for Him, the main thing is that my relationship with God is alive. I have a freedom of developing my spiritual needs in my country.

However, suppose if later I'll be going to that Arab Country, I'm afraid if I cannot get a Church there, and I'm a afraid if my freedom of developing my spiritual needs (time for praying, worshiping God, etc) will be taken off. Please help me and share your ideas with me. This is a very difficult task for me to take a step on it.

I really wonder whether or not I should take that scholarship. More over, I have heard many news about the religion and culture there. Thanks...

Dear Student,

Our churches are not GOD. GOD is everywhere and he sends you and will keep on sending you to many places that will surprise you throughout your life. If you read one of my favorite quotes from the Gospel of Thomas: (77) Jesus said: I am the light that is over them all. I am the All; the All has come forth from me, and the All has attained unto me. Cleave a (piece of) wood: I am there. Raise up the stone, an ye shall find me there then you know that you do not need a church to be close to GOD. GOD and Jesus will be with you always, no matter where you are or what you do, and no church is necessary to communicate with GOD. I am sure GOD has special plans for you. You do not need a church to worship GOD, you do it in doing his will. Learning, teaching, helping people in following the example of Jesus Christ is not an easy road, but it is a very giving way to live your life and it is worship in itself.

I am sure that if this Arab country offers you a scholarship, they will also take care of your security there and your spiritual needs. Also: The Qur'an itself is religion of peace, just as the Bible (Muhammad based the Qur'an on the bible) and I am sure you will find many fruitful conversations and learn many new things about religion there (where the Christians also call GOD "Allah").

Careful: Be aware that some US companies try to lure people to the middle east under false pretenses to use them as slave labor (as Halliburton did with young people from Nepal, who ended up as slaves without money or the promised jobs. The "American Christians" from Halliburton took away their passports and used them as slaves). Those are so called "Christians" who are led to believe by US preachers that Jesus Christ does not care about people, wants America to start wars in spite of Jesus Christ's teachings and all of the commandments. They teach that all you have to do is to make money and give this money to them. Jesus Christ is love and understanding and he came to change the violent teachings of the Old Testament to the new teachings of Love (That is why the New Testament is NEW and the Old Testament is OLD - actually it is the history of the Jews and does not apply to us). Be aware of the "Christians" from the USA and be sure to remember Jesus Christ's message of love. Be sure to check the offer out thoroughly.

Please keep me posted about your path.
May GOD be with you always!

9/11 was an inside Job!

The myth of September 11 is entering the race for the Presidency. For the Republicans, who protected all of the crimes that were committed on 9/11 from detection should be very careful with this issue. Whoever supported this crime or it's cover up shares the guilt with the attackers. And the Republicans have so far done everything to hide the truth and avoid any kind of impartial investigation.

Hitler called his 9/11 "Kristallnacht" and blamed the Jews. Bush blamed Bin Laden, to start a war with Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Bush was tired of Saddam Hussein, whom his father had put into power decades ago, and Bush had to deliver a war to his supporters to be able to make insane amounts of money on weapons and Oil for them and himself. Osama Bin Laden is from Saudi Arabia and the Bin Ladens are the only friends the Bush family ever had. The other two remaining alleged terrorists were from the United Arab Emirates, whom Bush wanted to give authority over six major US ports. Why? As a reward?

Osama denied an involvement in the attacks. In a first statement he welcomed them and regretted that he was not involved in them. Then the Bush crime family produced a video with an actor who looked remotely like Osama in which he confessed to the attacks. Obviously after having a talk with his family, Bush's best and only friends, he finally said that he was responsible for the attack on 9/11. A cover up for the attack of our Government on our own country. Bush made sure that the US military forces who had cornered Osama Bin Laden several times let him go or escape every single time. Why? Get the idea?

And the Republican Party supported this policy. Otherwise Bush could not have acted this way. So John McCain is without a doubt part of this attack on the US and the cover up that followed. The Republicans still support their concentration camps (Guantanamo Bay) and put up and use additional concentration camps in Eastern Europe. They still keep Hitlers "Ermรคchtigungsgesetz"

Everyone who is willing to use their brain should know by now that September 11 was an inside job. It could not have been anything else. Here are some more of my personal smoking guns:
Whoever was able to take out NORAD for that day HAS to be at least involved. Who can do that? ONLY the Government!
Who profited from 9/11? ONLY Bush and the companies related to him or Cheney: Halliburton, Carlisle Group, Weapons manufacturers, and the Oil industry. Which means: almost the entire Government of the US.

The guys at www.WantToKnow.info have done an amazing job in gathering verifiable evidence of the true events on 9/11. Here is some of their recent information:

The Republican Party is trying to sell their candidates the same way they sold you 9/11. With lies and deception. Let's tell everyone the facts (facts are the true events, as they REALLY happened, NOT made up or tampered with. Those are FACTS!) so everyone understands the truth, what is really happening to our country and our constitution and so freedom stands a chance against lies, oppression and betrayal.
