Gerald Celente – “DC Heist – Wall Street Gang Hijacks Washington”
DC Heist – Wall Street Gang Hijacks Washington Gerald Celente | September 23, 2008
On the evening of September 18th 2008, the American democratic system was replaced by a financial dictatorship. What was billed as a “Federal Bailout” was nothing less than a bloodless coup. The Wall Street Gang had taken over the White House and control of Washington. Congress promised not to resist, and pledged to pass legislation as demanded. Warning that America’s financial system was perilously close to collapse unless immediate action was taken, economic martial law was declared. The American people were told that from this day forward, they would be responsible for paying off the bad debt from any failing private financial enterprise deemed “too big to fail.” Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, spearheading the coup, sought unrestricted authority to spend the nation’s money as he saw fit. The first order of business by the Economic Czar was to take trillions of dollars of bad debt from crumbling investment banks and insurance companies and transfer it to the backs of already debt-burdened citizens. “We’re talking hundreds of billions,” said Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, one of the “too-big-to-fails.” Within days of the takeover, the number jumped into the trillions. This will put a “significant amount of taxpayers’ money on the line,” he said. Quick & Clean In simple language, with cameras rolling, in broad daylight, the American public was robbed blind. This wasn’t a magic show. There were no hidden tricks or sleights of hand. “We want this to be clean, we want this to be quick,” demanded the Economic Czar. “We need to get this done quickly, and the cleaner the better,” intoned President Bush, with the urgency of his “smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud” logic he used as a pretext to invade Iraq. “The risk of not acting would be far higher,” Bush said, promising to “work with Congress to get a bill done quickly.” Having accurately forecast the current financial debacle, we confidently now forecast that taking swift action will prove – as it did in Iraq – far more catastrophic than allowing Wall Street to suffer the consequences of its greed and mismanagement. Presidential candidate Barack Obama promised to “fully support” the plan and called on Congress to take “immediate action.” Republican challenger John McCain said he would further review the proposal before passing judgment while Congressional leaders from both parties have signed on with their support. Americans were told they would have to pay to rescue the very companies whose unregulated greed, fraud and recklessness had created the crisis in the first place. Considered nobodies by the authorities, the people had no voice and had no choice. “I know of nobody who is arguing over the amount of money or even about that the secretary ought to have the authority to purchase these toxic instruments, these bad debts,” bowed Senator Christopher Dodd, the Democratic chairman of the Banking Committee. Publisher’s Note: If you are a “nobody” who cares about “the amount of money,” and does not believe “the secretary ought to have the authority to purchase these toxic instruments,” take action NOW. While signing petitions or calling the White House or Washington representatives often proves fruitless, in this emergency we suggest you call, write, pester, hound, and protest. Call your newspaper, radio and TV stations. Talk to reporters covering the “DC Heist.” Tell them what you think and what you want. Write editorials. Use the Internet as a call to action. Use your imagination, wits and common sense to have your voice heard and make your will known. Until Congress votes on the plan, it is not yet a fait accompli. Tell them if they vote “yes,” you’ll vote “no.” Trendpost: While the transfer of “toxic instruments” from private firms to the national debt will enrich those companies that once had owned them, the measures taken will do nothing to keep the sinking US economy from going under. The biggest casualty, besides indentured American servants held responsible for paying off the debt, is the US dollar. The greenback’s getting slaughtered on the foreign exchanges and gold prices, the safe-haven commodity, are once again soaring. As we previously forecast, we are still predicting “Gold $2000.”

Man this Swine Flu is getting out of control

Dr.Lorraine Day reveals that Vaccines Do Not Work.Vaccinations don’t work at all.
Boy is first Ariz. swine flu case; school to close for 1 week
by Ginger Rough – Apr. 29, 2009 02:50 PM
The Arizona Republic
The state’s first swine flu patient is an 8-year-old boy who attends Moon Mountain Elementary School in northwest Phoenix.
Gov. Jan Brewer disclosed the information during a morning event; health department officials said they are still interviewing the boy’s family and have not determined how he contracted the disease.
In a memo to Moon Mountain staff, Susie Cook, the superintendent of the Washington Elementary School District, announced that the school will be closing for seven days.
Carol Donaldson, communications director for the Washington Elementary School District, which includes Moon Mountain Elementary, said the school has about 800 students.
“We’ve been working on getting information to families all morning,” she said.
The Arizona Department of Health Services had sent four laboratory samples of possible swine-flu cases to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and results for one came back positive for the new strain of swine flu Wednesday morning. Health officials said at a press conference today that the one confirmed and three suspected cases are from Maricopa County, but none is related to each other in terms of family or organized groups. The cases are scattered around the county.
Health officials have said none of the patients with suspected swine flu was gravely ill or hospitalized. It is unknown if any of the four people had traveled to Mexico.
At Moon Mountain Elementary near 19th Avenue and Thunderbird Road Wednesday, students got out in the early afternoon as part of a previously scheduled early release day.
Buses waited in the parking lot of the red-and-tan brick building, and parents showed up in cars and on foot to pick up their kids.
The only sign that the school day was unusual were four Phoenix Police Department cars in the parking lot.
As he walked home, Justin, 10, said he was a little bit scared that one of the school’s students had been diagnosed with the swine flu. Some students at school had cried because of the flu alert. Justin’s friend, Madison, also 10, said she had a cough and chest pain.
“I’m scared because I have some of the symptoms,” she said.
The Arizona Republic is withholding or did not ask for the children’s last names because they are minors.
Charlene Begay of Phoenix showed up at the school to pick up her 6-year-old niece.
“Her dad usually picks her up,” she said, “But she (her mom) just wanted her daughter out now,” said Begay, who is worried about her own health because she is pregnant.
Another student, Carlos, 10, said he planned to go home and take a shower every hour. Not everyone is disappointed that school is closing, he said, because some students have missing homework right now.
Also Wednesday, during a morning tour of the Arizona State Laboratory with Democratic lawmakers, health department administrators confirmed that the state had received its first shipment of antivirals from the federal stockpile.
Two drugs, sold under the brand names of Tamiflu and Relenza, have been shown to lessen the severity and duration of swine flu, if administered shortly after the onset of symptoms.
The antivirals will be distributed to state hospitals and medical centers as needed. There is currently no vaccine for swine flu; CDC officials said in a morning briefing that it would likely be “this fall” before such a vaccine is available for humans.
As of this morning, there were 91 cases of the virulent influenza strain in the United States.
Richard Besser, acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said laboratory tests have confirmed influenza in 10 states.
They are Arizona, New York, California, Texas, Kansas, Michigan, Massachusetts, Indiana, Nevada and Ohio.

More Police Brutality
An Iraqi War veteran says Metro officers beat him at McCarran International Airport. Action News has video of the alleged beating two months ago. National guard Sergeant Mark England says the officers beat him with a nightstick and shot him with a taser after an argument with TSA agents at the airport. The Metro officers involved are still working and Metro says based on the video Action News showed them they believe the officer didn’t do anything wrong.

Slaying fuels debate over speed cameras in Arizona
The debate over the first statewide speed camera enforcement program in the nation has reached a boiling point following the fatal shooting of a camera operator.
Critics of Arizona’s program condemned the killing but vow they’ll continue to fight what they call unfair and overly intrusive government. Supporters of the program say camera opponents have inflamed the public, and that the speed cameras have made highways safer.
Doug Georgianni, 51, was killed on April 19, as he operated a speed-enforcement van on a Phoenix freeway. Thomas Patrick Destories, a 68-year-old Phoenix man, is being held in Maricopa County jail on a first-degree murder charge in the death. He has declined to comment.
Authorities haven’t said what they believe the motive might be, but said the two men had never met. Many simply assume the killing was the latest and most extreme backlash against Arizona’s photo-enforcement program.
Arizonans have used sticky notes, Silly String and even a pickax to sabotage the cameras since September when they began snapping photos of highway speeders driving 11 mph or more over the speed limit.
State lawmakers have proposed two bills to do away with the cameras, and three separate citizens groups are targeting them in initiatives for the 2010 ballot.
“The conversation on everyone’s mind in Arizona is the photo radar killing. That’s what everyone is talking about,” said Shawn Dow, a volunteer with the citizens group CameraFRAUD.com.
CameraFRAUD.com is the largest and most organized of the groups going after the cameras. Its initiative would ban photo-enforcement cameras throughout Arizona, including those in the statewide program and those run by individual municipalities, such as red light cameras in Tempe.
Dow said the Arizona Department of Public Safety and camera operator RedFlex Traffic Systems Inc. put Georgianni in danger by having him in a marked law enforcement vehicle even though he was a civilian.
“They’re putting these people in marked police vehicles that are civilians that have no training, no way to defend themselves,” Dow said. “We should have trained police officers – cops, not cameras.”
DPS spokesman Lt. James Warriner said the department is working with RedFlex to decide how the vans will operate in the future, and that they may be unmanned.
The speed vans were pulled from Arizona freeways Monday; fixed cameras are still operating.
Warriner said critics have blamed his agency for the killing “when all we’re doing is administering a program that was mandated by state Legislature and the former governor.
“Because of (critics’) vocalness, you could almost say they’ve led to this, too – because of their protests, the encouragement of people to strike out,” he said.
Warriner said Georgianni’s killing will not stop photo enforcement.
Karen Finley, president and chief executive officer of RedFlex, said in a statement that the company is being “deliberative and prudent” in its review of establishing criteria to redeploy mobile speed cameras. She declined to comment further.
Republican Rep. Sam Crump of Anthem, who is seeking to ban speed cameras on state highways, condemned Georgianni’s killing.
“While we don’t know at this time what the motives were for this senseless killing, many have understandably speculated that it was due to anger against the speed cameras,” he said in a statement the day after the killing. “To the extent there is any truth to that, I call on all individuals to reduce the war of words on this topic. Whatever the motives for this crime were, there is absolutely no justification for such a heinous act.”
The photo-enforcement program was launched under former Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano.
Civil violations are punishable by a fine and surcharges totaling $181. Through Jan. 31, 34,000 motorists had paid their tickets.
Tyler Bennett, a 23-year-old Glendale resident who recently got a photo radar ticket on a Phoenix-area freeway, said he’s against the speed cameras but he was “dumbfounded” when he heard about the killing.
“That really kind of hit me, to be honest,” he said. “It’s kind of fun to dog on the whole photo radar thing, but this whole thing is completely different.”
He said he doesn’t think DPS, RedFlex or critics of photo enforcement are to blame – just the person who pulled the trigger.\

It’s a game…
House Chamber, Washington D.C. April 21, 2009. Mr. Speaker: Many Americans have been shocked in recent days to learn that banks seeking to repay TARP money have been told the treasury will not allow them to do so.
Taxpayers were promised that this money was only to be used to buy up toxic assets and that it would be repaid to the treasury as soon as humanly possible.
And yet, when several banks have attempted to do precisely that, theyve been told that the treasury will not allow them to do so.
This is a travesty. Just a few weeks ago, many members of this House reacted to the AIG bonus fiasco by saying, We want our money back. And yet when some banks have attempted to do just that, theyve been turned away at the treasury gates.
M. Speaker, today I have introduced legislation to require the Secretary of the Treasury to accept TARP repayments unconditionally and immediately when they are presented. I hope that I can count on the support of all those who promised constituents these funds would be repaid at the earliest possible opportunity.
“WE CAN ASK HIM QUESTIONS!”
Is TARP a Criminal Enterprise?

Freddie Mac official found dead in apparent suicide
WASHINGTON – David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer of money-losing mortgage giant Freddie Mac was found dead at his home Wednesday morning in what police said was an apparent suicide.
The Fairfax County police responded to a 911-call at 4:48 a.m. at the suburban Virginia home Kellermann shared with his wife. The police would not release the cause of death or say if a suicide note was found.
Kellermann, 41, lived in Hunter Mill Estates, a well-off neighborhood of large single-family homes with manicured lawns. County records show Kellermann’s home is worth about $900,000.
Paul Unger, who lives across the street from the Kellermanns, called the family a “solid, salt-of-the-earth kind of family” that hosted the neighborhood’s Halloween party. “He was just a nice guy … You cannot imagine what kind of pressures he must have been under,” Unger said.
Kellermann worked for Freddie Mac for the past 16 years and was named acting chief financial officer last September when the government seized control of the company to keep it from failing. Freddie Mac lost more than $50 billion last year, and the government has pumped in $45 billion to keep the company afloat.
Kellermann’s death is the latest in a string of blows to Freddie Mac, which owns or guarantees about 13 million mortgages and us the No. 2 mortgage finance company after sibling Fannie Mae. The company has been criticized for financing risky mortgage loans that fueled the real estate bubble, and its first government appointed CEO, David Moffett, resigned last month after six months on the job.
News of Kellermann’s death came as a shock to employees of the McLean, Va.-based company, with those who knew Kellermann tearing up on Wednesday morning and a quiet mood prevailing.
Early Wednesday, Sharon McHale, a Freddie Mac spokeswoman, said senior executives at the company heard the news on local radio before going to work. “It’s just so awful,” she said.
John Koskinen, the company’s interim chief executive, said in a statement that Kellermann, “was a man of great talents …. His extraordinary work ethic and integrity inspired all who worked with him.”
Freddie Mac and sibling company Fannie Mae have both come under fire from lawmakers as they plan to pay more than $210 million in bonuses through next year to give workers the incentive to stay in their jobs. While Fannie Mae has disclosed the names of executives in line for the bonuses, Freddie Mac has yet to do so.

Photo radar shooting suspect found
by JJ Hensley – Apr. 21, 2009 10:04 AM
The Arizona Republic
Thomas Destories knew why Phoenix police were talking to him as soon as the suspect in the murder of a photo-enforcement employee was pulled over Monday morning.
“I’m sorry, I was going to turn myself in. I didn’t mean for anyone to get hurt. I saw it on the news,” Destories told officers, according to a police report released Monday night.
“The gun is in the saddlebag,” Destories said. OAS_AD(‘ArticleFlex_1′)
With that, police arrested Destories, 68, on suspicion of murdering Doug Georgianni while he worked in a photo-enforcement van along Loop 101 on Sunday evening.
According to the report, a witness saw a Chevrolet Suburban, later identified as Destories’ vehicle, pull up behind Georgianni’s van about 8:45 p.m. Sunday, leaving the witness with the impression that the SUV was having trouble.
When the Suburban pulled up to a stop light at Seventh Street and Loop 101 a couple of minutes later, the witnesses realized there was no trouble and noticed the driver: a man with unkempt hair and a long moustache.
That description, along with good observation by a Department of Public Safety officer who used to live in Destories’ neighborhood, led authorities to believe Destories might be involved, according to the police report.
After officers watched Destories’ house and saw him move a Suburban matching the description of the suspected shooter’s vehicle behind his house, they arrested the Cave Creek resident.
Investigators said Georgianni was sitting behind the driver’s seat doing paperwork when the Suburban pulled up behind his van and somebody fired the shots.
The van was hit five times with large-caliber bullets, according to the report, with three of the five shots grouped in a tight pattern around the driver’s side window, near where Georgianni was seated. The shooting prompted both companies that operate photo-enforcement programs in the area to pull the mobile units from highways and roads while they reassess security measures.
Destories had an initial appearance on Monday. He could face charges of first-degree murder and is being held on a $2 million cash bond.

Rap Group Public Enemy Warn Of “The Obama Deception”
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Public Enemy – one of the most influential rap groups in music history – took an opportunity at the Coachella 2009 festival to warn their audience about “The Obama Deception,” in reference to Alex Jones’ recently released underground blockbuster documentary.
The L.A. Times reports that Public Enemy member Professor Griff, who himself appears in the film, “made repeated references to the “Obama deception,” during the concert in California at which Paul McCartney, Morrissey, the Cure and Leonard Cohen also performed.
Public Enemy’s 2005 album was entitled “New Whirl Order” and included tracks such as “66.6 Strikes Again,” “What A Fool Believes,” and “Revolution”. The band were at their peak in the late 80’s. Their 1988 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back peaked at #42 on the Billboard 200, and at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip hop Album charts and is routinely ranked in the top 50 albums of all time, being regarded as one of the most influential and groundbreaking records in history.
Public Enemy, along with N.W.A., were two of the seminal acts in the organic explosion of hip-hop during the latter 1980’s, when the grassroots of the genre was all about black people becoming informed, empowered and strong and breaking free from stereotypical associations with poverty and drugs.
As soon as hip-hop became a vehicle for political and personal awakening, it was seized and devoured by corporate America and MTV, before being gradually deformed into what we see on television today – where black icons rap not about fighting the man or standing up to the system, but about how much money and sex they have while girls with giant buttocks wiggle around behind them.
We continually hear about huge music stars using their gargantuan public platforms to educate the public about the new world order at concerts and gigs.
At the internationally renowned Reading festival In August 2006, Muse front man Matt Bellamy donned a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Terrorstorm,” wearing it for the band’s headline performance which was watched collectively by tens of millions of people worldwide.

Obama’s First 100 Days: Worse Than Even We Predicted
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Monday, April 20, 2009
As President Barack Obama approaches his first 100 days in office, the corporate media prepares a new round of fawning idolatry about the Obama administration’s “achievements,” yet a summary glance at what Obama has actually done in that short time with regard to expanding the Bush police state and the Neo-Con empire is worse than even we predicted.
The day after Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States in November last year, we challenged Obama supporters and the administration itself to follow through on the rhetoric of “change” by starting to dismantle the architecture of the Bush police state and beginning to roll back the unwieldy morass of the American empire. Obama has done neither, and in fact his every action has been about ensuring the Bush police state remains in place, that the people who put it in place are protected from prosecution, and that the empire continues to expand.
We presented Obama and his supporters with a series of issues on which to make progress. While we did not expect Obama to accomplish much in his first few months in office, we at least challenged the new President to take the first steps in reversing eight years of what was a de facto dictatorship and plotting the course for the “change” that was so consistently promised.
We asked the following questions of an Obama presidency;
- Will Obama support Dennis Kucinich’s efforts to bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for deceiving the country into a war or will he protect them against such charges like Nancy Pelosi has done?
In April 2008, Obama promised that as President he would ask his Attorney General to “immediately review” potential war crimes that occurred under the Bush White House. Obama or his Attorney General have done no such thing, and every noise they have made suggests that top Neo-Cons will be protected from deceiving America into a war.
Similarly we asked;
- Will Obama bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for authorizing torture and will the torture of suspects under U.S. detention, a complete violation of both the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions, cease under an Obama administration?
As we found out last week, the answer was a resounding NO. Upon the release of the torture memos, Obama’s right-hand man, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, told ABC News that top Bush administration officials “should not be prosecuted either and that’s not the place that we go.” In addition, Obama’s statement that accompanied the release of the torture memos stated, “In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution.”
So no retribution for the people who ordered the torture, and no retribution to the people who carried it out, thus setting the precedent that future administrations are free to order torture – safe in the knowledge that they will face no consequences whatsoever.
- Will Obama withdraw American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan without sending them away again to bomb another broken-backed third world country?
The answer again is a resounding NO. Upon taking office, Obama announced that he would be sending another 17,000, and eventually perhaps as many as 30,000, extra troops to Afghanistan.
Regarding Iraq, after the “withdrawal” of U.S. troops in 19 months, a timescale that has since been put back again, “Mr. Obama plans to leave behind a “residual force” of tens of thousands of troops to continue training Iraqi security forces, hunt down foreign terrorist cells and guard American institutions,” reported the New York Times.
In terms of bombing another broken-backed third world country, Obama has beefed the U.S. military role in Pakistan beyond that pursued by the Bush administration and “expanded the covert war run by the Central Intelligence Agency inside Pakistan,” according to the New York TImes, with an increase in missile attacks by drone aircraft.
Meanwhile, Obama’s war chest demands came to a total of around $800 billion in war funds and subsidiary costs just to cover the rest of 2009.
Does any of this sound like a move towards bringing the troops home and rolling back the American empire, as Obama promised before he was elected?
- Will Obama end the warrantless secret surveillance and phone-taps of American citizens?
You’ll be shocked the learn that the answer was a resounding NO. Earlier this month, “The Obama administration formally adopted the Bush administration’s position that the courts cannot judge the legality of the National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) warrantless wiretapping program,” reported the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
“President Obama promised the American people a new era of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil liberties,” said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. “But with the Obama Justice Department continuing the Bush administration’s cover-up of the National Security Agency’s dragnet surveillance of millions of Americans, and insisting that the much-publicized warrantless wiretapping program is still a ’secret’ that cannot be reviewed by the courts, it feels like deja vu all over again.”
- Will Obama cease his support for the Bush-administration backed banker bailouts, hated by the majority of Americans, and target the real cause of the problem – the Federal Reserve – or will he continue to give taxpayers’ money to banks who are merely hoarding it all for themselves?
Obama’s zealous push for more bailouts, along with increased power for the Federal Reserve and the implementation of global regulations that will effectively end any notion of a free market was perhaps the defining issue of his first 100 days as President. Obama has vigorously promoted the same financial policies that were introduced by the Bush administration in its final few months.
- Will Obama repeal Patriot Acts I and II as well as reversing Bush’s signing statement and acknowledging the repeal of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act? Will Obama seek to continue the militarization of America and preparations for martial law through Northcom and the secret government or will he dismantle the police state that has been constructed over the last eight years by the Bush administration?
Despite initial rhetoric about reversing Bush’s infamous signing statements, Obama himself stated that he will continue to use signing statements. The Patriot Act and its additions as well as the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, both core planks of the Bush police state, remain firmly in place, with no sign of any reversal.
Regarding militarization through Northcom, weeks after Obama’s election victory it was announced that, “The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.” Militarization of law enforcement and troops being used domestically in preparation for martial law is continuing apace under the Obama administration.
- Will Obama follow through on his rhetorical support for the second amendment or will he seek to ban guns as he did in Illinois?
Despite Obama promising that he was not interested in going after the second amendment before his election, one of his first actions was to appoint the rabidly anti-gun Eric Holder as his Attorney General. Obama has also falsely blamed the drug war crisis in Mexico on American gun shops. The leaked Obama gun ban list would make millions of Americans criminals for owning weapons such certain types of rifles or pistols. Anti-gun legislation has found its way into stimulus and other unrelated bills as pork barrel. The first steps of the Obama administration with regard to gun control have resulted in record firearm and ammunition purchases across the country.
Upon Obama’s election we made a cynical but unfortunately accurate prediction of how the much vaunted promise of “change” would actually manifest itself. The fact is that the “change” began and ended on the day Obama won the election.
- Illegal warrantless surveillance and wiretapping of American citizens will continue under Obama.
- Top Bush administration officials who ordered torture and those that carried it out will be protected from prosecution under Obama.
- Top Bush administration officials who deceived America into a war will be protected from prosecution under Obama.
- The expansion of the military empire through continued occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and further military incursions into Pakistan will continue and expand under Obama.
- Banker bailouts, reckless spending, inflation of currency through overprinting and global regulations stifling the free market, all of which were initiated under Bush, will continue under Obama.
- The militarization of the United States and the architecture of the police state that was set up under Bush will be preserved and expanded under Obama.
- The attack on the second amendment right to bear arms will continue under Obama.
“The egregious spending will continue, government will balloon in size, American soldiers will be used as cannon fodder for more interventionist wars of the military-industrial complex, U.S. citizens will continue to have their phone calls tapped and their rights curtailed,” we forecast last year, “and the Federal Reserve will continue to rule the financial system with an iron fist while the middle class is squeezed out of existence.”
Who can deny that all those things have only intensified under the Obama administration?
The honeymoon is over – Barack Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than we predicted all along – another stooge for the global banking syndicate that has controlled every U.S. president since JFK, and nothing more than a black face on the new world order – sworn to continue and intensify the same agenda that the Bush-Clinton-Bush dynasty advanced before him.

Fascist Governments are pushing people to the limits
PHOENIX — Police have arrested a man in connection with the fatal shooting of a photo-radar van operator Sunday night, according to the Phoenix Police Department.
According to department spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill, the department and the Arizona Department of Public Safety will hold a joint news conference Monday afternoon to announce more details of the arrest.Video footage over the noon hour showed police serving search warrants at a Phoenix home in connection with the shooting. Footage showed a vehicle similiar to the one captured by the radar van’s tape parked by the side of the house.In the meantime, photo-radar vans have been yanked off Arizona highways as DPS and Phoenix police investigate the shooting, according to Redflex Traffic Systems Inc. CEO Karen Finley.
The 911 call came into DPS at 8:52 p.m. Sunday.
DPS said the driver, Doug Georgianni, 51, was shot multiple times while sitting in the marked van parked on the eastbound side of Loop 101.Georgianni was taken to John C. Lincoln Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, DPS said.DPS said Georgianni had been working for RedFlex Traffic Systems Inc. as a driver technician for three months. RedFlex is under contract with DPS to operate the photo-radar systems, which are used to catch speeders and red-light runners.”The entire Redflex family is grief-stricken for Doug and his loved ones,” Finley said. “We will continue to dedicate every resource to work with the police to help identify and apprehend the person who took Doug’s life.Phoenix police described the shooter as a white male in his 60s with a thin face, unkempt white hair and a white mustache.He was driving a two-toned white and gray 1980s-model Chevy Suburban with black rims and tires and a roof rack, police said. Investigators believe the shooter left the crime scene traveling south on Seventh Street.Police are asking anyone with information to call Silent Witness at 480-948-6377.

Infowars
April 19, 2009
In the video here, Robert Welch, the founder of the John Birch Society, predicts today’s events with uncanny accuracy. He originally made the predictions in 1958 and recounted them here, in 1974.
The JBS originally concentrated on the “international Communist plot,” but by the 1960s Welch concluded that Communism was just a front for a Master Conspiracy. He pinpointed the conspirators in internationalist financial and business families such as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers and exposed the Bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission as organizations doing their work.
Welch understood the “international Communist plot” was not about a revolution in the name of the workers and proletariat but a worldwide socialist or collectivist revolution in the name of a small number of elite bankers. The CFR and the Trilateral Commission propose an end to the sovereignty of the United States and global dictatorship.
“If it were indeed true that the entirety of the danger we face is confined only to a communist conspiracy, which aims at the destruction of freedom through subversion and violence, then, Mr. Welch reasons, many interesting paradoxes are left unanswered,” writes James Thornton. “Why, for instance, are so many of the super-wealthy involved in programs and policies that aid and abet collectivist and socialist objectives? Why do the powerful elite in America and elsewhere, made up of people who seemingly have the most to lose should communism, socialism, or any form of collectivism be victorious, almost invariably oppose efforts to expose the subversion of our society? Why do they so frequently sabotage conservative activities? To these difficult problems Mr. Welch applied his first-rate research skills and, after much labor, reached some startling conclusions.”

SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN!
It’s sickening to me how the media has spun those stories about the tea baggers or whatever they’re called Right Wing Domestic Terrorist Extremists of a new Al Queda America (Hitler did the same shit w/his media outlets whenever someone opposed the Nazi party – ironic how history repeats itself). I thought FOX was the big spinners???? Which they still are, but CNN and MSNBC showed off their skills as well this week. I was impressed. This country is so fucked and misinformed when it comes to real journalism. Russia Today is actually one of my favorite new sources, they seem to understand America better than our own MSM. However, I’m happy to see people are finally taking to the streets. The complacent was really starting to work my nerves. I mean the war based on a lie, no Bin Laden (or charges for Bin either), bailouts, people are finding out about the Fed, no M3 reports, massive spending, NAFTA, weak borders, firing CEOs, GITMO, 2 trillion and counting in taxpayer money gone and no accountably!?!?!? Come on, Washington! First, no accountability for the Bush admin and their torturing practices and now none for the spending?
Like I was saying… SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN!
Demonizing Americans
Get em’ Savage!
