Notice how there were no protests and marches during the demoRATic convention? Republicans have LIVES and more productive things to do!! Liberals think that equal rights and free speech pertain only to them. They don't belong at the republican convention. Why were these protesters not out helping the hurricane victims if they have so much time on their hands and want to help America?
I'm glad they were arrested....GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!!

Pride goeth before a fall:
There is a new book out that shows that the one world government is the NAZI "Fourth Reich," meaning, the NAZIs were not defeated in World War II, but following that war, took control in America and the world to bring into our world the New World Order that is the second rise of NAZISM, the Fourth Reich. The Bush family and the Rockefellar family among many other prominant familes at the time leading up to World War II, funded Hitler to bring him to power, then advocated through their influence in American government at the time that President Roosevelt enter the second world war on the side of Germany. The entire NAZI spy apparatus was imported in whole into America at the end of World War II, replaced the OSI and became the CIA:
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST JIM MARRS: "Throw out everything you think you know about history. Close the approved textbooks, turn off the corporate mass media, and whatever you do, don't believe anything you hear from the government—The Rise of the Fourth Reich reveals the truth about American power. In this explosive new book, the legendary Jim Marrs, author of the underground bestseller Rule by Secrecy, reveals the frighteningly real possibility that today the United States is becoming the Fourth Reich, the continuation of an ideology thought to have been vanquished more than a half century ago.
This concept may seem absurd to those who cannot see past the rose-colored spin, hype, and disinformation poured out daily by the media conglomerates—most of which are owned by the very same families and corporations who supported the Nazis before World War II. But as Marrs precisely explains, National Socialism never died, but rather its hideous philosophy is alive and active in modern America. Unfortunately, most people cannot understand the shadowy links between fascism and corporate power, the military, and our elected leaders.
While the United States helped defeat the Germans in World War II, we failed to defeat the Nazis. At the end of the war, ranking Nazis, along with their young and fanatical protégés, used the loot of Europe to create corporate front companies in many countries, including the United States of America. Utilizing their stolen wealth, men with Nazi backgrounds and mentalities wormed their way into corporate America, slowly buying up and consolidating companies into giant multinational conglomerates. Many thousands of other Nazis came to the United States under classified programs such as Project Paperclip. They brought with them miraculous weapon technology that helped win the space race but they also brought their insidious Nazi philosophy within our borders. This ideology based on the authoritarian premise that the end justifies the means—including unprovoked wars of aggression and curtailment of individual liberties—has gained an iron hold in the "land of the free and the home of the brave."
For the first time Jim Marrs has gathered compelling evidence that an effort has been underway for the past sixty years to bring a form of National Socialism to modern America, creating in essence a modern empire—or "Fourth Reich"!"

Jim Marrs, Journalist and Author,
The Rise of the Fourth Reich © 2008,
Wade County, Texas.
Jim Marrs, Journalist and Author, Wise County, Texas: “Today, almost every thinking person agrees that the United States is off on the wrong path. Some how, we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot. We’ve taken the wrong turn. We’re into dangerous waters and waters that, in many ways, are contrary to the liberties and freedom that this country was built on. The problem is that no one knows whom to identify. Liberals blame the conservatives. Conservatives blame the liberals. Republicans blame Democrats. Democrats blame Republicans.
Well, what I’ve done in my new book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich, is to document and show that we can all agree to point the finger at the one group that it’s still politically correct to vilify and that is Nazis.
But you have to understand that a Nazi is not necessarily a jack-booted, Swastika-bearing German. The term ‘Nazi’ is an acronym for National Socialism. That is the political system Adolph Hitler put into power in Germany in the 1930s. Even though the Germans were defeated in WWII, Nazism, or National Socialism, never was defeated. In fact, it was embraced by the ruling, wealthy, elite that runs the United States of America. These people supported Hitler in his rise to power. They supported Hitler through WWII and continued to support National Socialism long after Hitler passed from the scene.
The ruling elite did this in connivance with many wealthy Americans who saw profit and power and control in this system and they have slowly turned the once-free United States Republic into a new empire of the wealthy – a Fourth Reich.
Notice how there were no protests and marches during the demoRATic convention? Republicans have LIVES and more productive things to do!! Liberals think that equal rights and free speech pertain only to them. They don't belong at the republican convention. Why were these protesters not out helping the hurricane victims if they have so much time on their hands and want to help America?

There were protests at the Democratic Convention!

WHAT IN JULY 2008 ARE THE BIGGEST SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ADOLPH HITLER’S THIRD REICH OF WWII AND MODERN AMERICA AND THIS WORLD?
We see the erosion of individual liberties. If you say anything that’s unpopular, you even risk jail and a fine. We also see increasingly that our police forces are no longer the citizen warriors or blue-clad police from a few years ago. They are now black-clad with the cold scuttle helmet, the same design that the Nazi troops used in WWII. And we also see that Hitler, when he invaded Poland, he didn’t want to upset the German people by calling up general conscription (drafting youth into war), so he used reserve troops to start WWII, just like we’re using our reserve troops to fight imperial wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, then you come up through the similarities and parallels between the burning of the Reichstag and Enabling Act with the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in the United States and the rapid passage of the Patriot Act and the creation of Homeland Security. The parallels between WWII Germany and modern America are all there.
The big difference in modern America with Nazi Germany is that in the Germany of the 1930s, the state gained control over the corporations. Today in modern America, we see that the corporations have gained control over the state. But the end result is the same.
America Without Habeas Corpus
UNDER THIS CURRRENT ADMINISTRATION, WE STILL DON’T EVEN HAVE A RESTORATION OF HABEAS CORPUS, WHICH MEANS ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN CAN BE ARRESTED WITHOUT CHARGE STATED.
That’s right. That’s why we no longer have a Republic. Without habeas corpus in the United States today, what we now have is a Fourth Reich, somebody in a position of power - the President, the Attorney General, the head of Homeland Security – can simply point a figure at you and designate you as an undesirable and hence, an enemy combatant, and they can grab you and imprison you and you don’t even get a day in court, much less a lawyer. This administration has systematically stripped the United States of its fundamental Constitutional rights. That’s bad enough, but what really concerns me is that so many people refuse to look at that. They do not want to admit that. They do not want to see it and so they are allowing it to take place and continue.
[ Editor's Note: Wikipedia - The right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus has long been celebrated as the most efficient safeguard of the liberty of the subject. Albert Venn Dicey wrote that the Habeas Corpus Acts ‘declare no principle and define no rights, but they are for practical purposes worth a hundred constitutional articles guaranteeing individual liberty.’ In most countries, however, the procedure of habeas corpus can be suspended in time of national emergency. In most civil law jurisdictions, comparable provisions exist, but they may not be called ‘habeas corpus.’
Modern America: The reach of habeas corpus is currently being tested in the United States. Oral arguments on a consolidated Guantanamo Bay detention camp detainee habeas corpus petition, Al Odah v. United States were heard by the Supreme Court of the United States on December 5, 2007, and recently by HR 1955 The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2006. On June 12, 2008, the Supreme Court ruling in Boumediene v. Bush recognized habeas corpus rights for the Guantanamo prisoners. However, the following month, the 4th Circuit Court gave the President the power to arrest and detain U.S. citizens on native soil indefinitely.]
Bush Family's WWII Business Link to
Adolph Hitler's Nazi Party
PRESCOTT BUSH, THE GRANDFATHER OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (43rd) AND FATHER OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH (41st) – COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN PRESCOTT BUSH’S ROLE IN AMERICAN BUSINESS, POLITICS AND MONEY IN RELATIONSHIP TO NAZI GERMANY?
American President Dwight D. Eisenhower with Prescott Bush in Oval Office, White House. Prescott Sheldon Bush, May 15, 1895 to October 8, 1972, was a U. S. Senator from Connecticut, a Wall Street executive banker and founding partner with Brown Brothers Harriman and Director of Union Banking Corp., New York City. He was father of former U. S. President George H. W. Bush (41st) and the grandfather of U. S. President George W. Bush (43rd). In 1942, Prescott Bush was prosecuted under the Trading With The Enemy Act, found guilty of financial and propaganda support for Hitler and Nazis, was fined and stripped of his holdings in the Union-Banking Corp.
Jim Marrs: “Prescott Bush, who sat as a board member of the Hamburg-America Line (ocean liners), along with Germany’s Max Warburg (banking), was intimately connected with the powers that represented the Rockefeller and Rothschild interests that were heavily involved in the creation and growth of Hitler and his Nazis. Prescott Bush, as a director of the Union Banking Corporation, handled all the money for Fritz Thyssen, the steel magnate of Germany.
Fritz Thyssen has admitted and proclaimed that he was the primary financier of Adolph Hitler and his Nazis. And Prescott Bush was handling the money on this side of the Atlantic.
In late 1942, the U. S. government actually prosecuted Prescott Bush as being nothing but a financial front man for Hitler and the Nazis under the Trading With The Enemy Act. He was fined and stripped of his holdings in the Union-Banking Corp.
[ Editor’s Note: Wikipedia - The Trading with the Enemy Act, sometimes abbreviated as TWEA, is a United States federal law, 12 U.S.C. 95a, enacted in 1917 to restrict trade with countries hostile to the United States. The law gives the President the power to oversee or restrict any and all trade between the U.S. and her enemies in times of war.
Hamburg America Line, or Hamburg Line, was an enterprise established in Hamburg, Germany in 1847, for shipping across the Atlantic Ocean. It soon developed into the largest German, and at times, world's largest shipping company, serving the market created by German immigration to the United States.
Hamburg America Line lost almost the entirety of its fleet twice, as a result of each of World War I and World War II. During Prescott Bush's tenure as Director of Hamburg America Line, the company came under investigation in the U.S. for Nazi propaganda activities linked to German steel magnate, Fritz Thyssen.
Business links with Fritz Thyssen: Harriman Bank was the main Wall Street partner for several German companies and the varied U.S. financial interests of Fritz Thyssen. Thyssen had been an early financial backer of the Nazi party, but later denounced Hitler and fled Germany. He was later jailed by the Nazis for his opposition to the Nazi regime.
Business transactions with Germany were not illegal until Hitler declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941. Six days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Trading With the Enemy Act after it had been made public that U.S. companies were doing business with the declared enemy of the United States. On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of German banking operations in New York City and seized property under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order cited only the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), of which Prescott Bush was a director.

Modern Al Qaeda Terrorist Link
to Nazis and Muslim Brotherhood
I THOUGHT ONE OF THE GREATEST IRONIES IN YOUR ENTIRE BOOK BEGINS ON PAGE 207 WHEN YOU SAY, ‘TODAY’S TERRORIST GROUPS CAN BE TRACED RIGHT BACK TO THE NAZIS.’ WHO IS BIN LADEN IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE HISTORY BETWEEN GERMANY, THE UNITED STATES AND SAUDI ARABIA?
Right. Well, what you’ll find out in my new book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich, is that Osama Bin Laden was recruited into the Muslim Brotherhood back in the 1970s. The Muslim Brotherhood was created in Egypt back in the 1930s, but by the late 1930s had been pretty well taken over by a Nazi organization. A leader of the Muslim Brotherhood was a great admirer of Hitler.
ISN’T IT TRUE THAT ALLEN DULLES, THEN DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY IN THE 1950S, ARRANGED TO HAVE THE NAZIS OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TRANSFERRED TO SAUDI ARABIA?
Allen Welsh Dulles (April 7, 1893 – January 29, 1969)
was the first civilian and longest serving (1953-1961) Director of Central Intelligence (CIA) and a member of the Warren Commission that investigated the November 22, 1963, assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Between active government service, Dulles was a corporate lawyer and partner at Sullivan & Cromwell. His brother, John Foster Dulles (February 25, 1888 – May 24, 1959) served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1959.
That’s correct. During the war, any serviceman who served in North Africa would probably believe that we had as much problems with the Arabs there as we had with the Nazis because the Arabs, through the Muslim Brotherhood, had aligned themselves with the Nazis.
But we managed to overcome that and we defeated the Nazis in WWII, so the Muslim Brotherhood was then picked up by British intelligence at the end of the war. But then a short time later, they were passed along to our CIA, which at that time was headed by Allen Dulles. His brother, John Foster Dulles, was Secretary of State under Eisenhower. The two Dulles brothers were the attorneys for Cromwell and Sullivan, which was the law firm that represented the Schroder Bank and the Rockefeller-Schroeder Investment Corporation - the very nexus of business connections that supported the Nazis.
So, they were instrumental in bringing Nazis over to the United States under Project Paperclip (V-2 rockets at White Sands Proving Ground, New Mexico) and other programs at the end of the war and white-washing their Nazi records. This is what put a huge nucleus of National Socialists right into our military-industrial complex where it spread out and is trying to gain control today.
America's CIA Trained Saudi Muslim
Brotherhood in Afghanistan
ISN’T IT TRUE THAT BY 1979, THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY TOOK THE NAZI SAUDI MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TO AFGHANISTAN TO FIGHT WITH THE SOVIETS AND THEY BECAME THE MUJAHIDEEN, WHICH IN THE MODERN WORLD TODAY ARE ONE AND THE SAME AS AL QAEDA? [ Editor's Note: The Mujahideen are Muslims involved in a jihad, fighting a war or involved in a struggle.]
That’s absolutely correct. When we took the Muslim Brotherhood into Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight against the Russian incursion there, the Muslim Brotherhood had already obtained a pretty bad name. They were originally thrown out of Egypt by Gamal Nasser because of their violence, but they were predominantly extremist Wahhabi Muslims. As a result, they were taken in by Saudi Arabia. This is still the predominant faction in Saudi Arabia today and, of course, this is where Osama Bin Laden entered the picture. [ Editor's Note: Gamal Abdel Nasser (January 15, 1918 to September 28, 1970) was President of Egypt from 1956 until his death.]
Then after the Soviets left Afghanistan during the Clinton years when we had the was in Kosovo, we find that it was the Al Qaeda that was funding and training the Kosovo Liberation Army, which was the faction that the United States supported. So, we can see that the CIA was involved with, if not controlling, Al Qaeda all the way up until the George Bush II administration. I think that should cause every thinking person to take a very serious second look at the attacks of 9/11.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE CURRENT BUSH AND FORMER BUSH ACTUALLY WENT INTO IRAQ?
(laughs) Well, of course, there is the question of the oil. But I don’t think that is the real reason because we were getting only 16% of our imported oil from Iraq prior to our invasion and we aren’t even getting that now because they keep blowing up the pipelines. That’s also the sticking point even with our little puppet government that we put in power over there is they are dragging their feet on the relinquishing the rights to all their oil to us. They have pretty much gone along with everything else, but they still don’t want to give up all their oil rights. So, I don’t think it was about oil.
What Did Bush Administration Want
from Iraq National Museum in Baghdad?
Personally, I think it had more to do with the looting of the Iraqi National Museum because I have in my files news articles from the associated press and European media from 1999 through 2001, speaking of ‘amazing new discoveries being made in Iraq by French and German archaeological teams, which I find very fascinating because after all it was probably France and Germany that were most opposed to our invasion of Iraq.
When we decided to attack Iraq in the spring of 2003, we violated normal military tactics, which is to seize an objective, consolidate your winnings and then move on to the next objective. We simply made a beeline for Baghdad, which is one of the reasons we’re having so many problems still is because we failed to pacify the countryside. Instead, we went straight to Baghdad and despite assurances to world museum directors by the Pentagon that the Iraqi National Museum would be protected, it was not and there was wholesale looting. According to Col. Matthew Bogdanos, who investigated the Iraqi Museum looting for General Tommy Franks, he described the looting of the basement as an ‘inside job.’ He said there were guards conveniently missing; they had keys to some of the locked vaults; they knew exactly what they were looking for; they by-passed expensive looking fakes. They went right for the new, uncatalogued stuff.
Iraq National Museum, holder of 5,000-year-old treasures and artifacts
from the time of Mesopotamia onward, was attacked and looted soon after the United States invaded Baghdad in March 2003. TV news reported American troops were also going underground to search thirty miles of tunnels beneath Baghdad for “weapons of mass destruction.”
What would this be? Why would they have such an interest in ancient artifacts? Because this was all coming from the cradle of human civilization, the Sumerian civilization. On the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, we find not only accounts of extraterrestrial visitation on this planet, but we also find perhaps the secrets of energy manipulation at the atomic and subatomic levels. That’s the very thing that the Nazis were working on in their infamous ‘Bell Project,’ which was a device that created counter-rotating energy and magnetic fields to create another field, which could then theoretically lead to antigravity, flying saucers, star portals, time and inter-dimensional gateways, time travel, a lot of real science fiction sounding things.”

“Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.”

Here's the news from the streets of St. Paul and the cells of the Ramsey County Jail
Jason was tased seven times on the street, while completely unresisting. We just heard from him-he's still pulling copper out of his hip from the taser gun, has a long, deep laceration in his leg that is still untreated, was beaten up badly and has a black eye, a hurt mouth and many lacerations, but says he's doing great. Elliot Hughes, a sweet, nineteen year old who came to our day camp, was badly beaten when the cops knocked him off his bicycle. They stepped on his chest, and he was coughing blood all night but received no medical treatment. The guards were calling him ‘Princess' and making homophobic remarks. We heard from Jason that last night, Elliot was making noises to protest not receiving any food for more than twelve hours. Twelve officers entered his cell. Screams were heard for over five minutes. He was tasered three times, maced, and beaten, then removed and the men were told he was being taken to a restraint chair.

This is my take, Maji, on your post 10, "... to take over the Democratic Party and force new leadership to lead a frontal assault on the fascist Trojan Horse. Stay in ranks Brother Steve, if you force the destruction of the Democratic Party at this point in history, you have jest won the war for the fascists."
The corporate National Socialist fascists, both the power brokers and the powers since John F. Kennedy, have set America up for the fall we now see clearly looming. Bush has fast tracked America's economic and Constitutional demise, and now some Americans, not enough Americans, realise Shub's intended precarious economic position that Shrub's administration created for America by which means they knew citizens would more easily be able to be controlled. Now we see We, the people's Constitution lying torn and the commensurate abuses of power against some of America's best citizens being carried out by means of unconstitutional police powers.
Obama, a perceived liberal, should he win the Presidency of the United States of America, will be decimated by deliberate turns of the economic screws given the present precarious state of America's economy. Should that happen during Obama's watch, Obama will be blamed, and that will be the end of anything approaching liberalism in America while leaving the Democratic Party in utter chaos and confusion.
Now with that in mind, on Obama's first day in office, as a good licensed Harvard Constitutional lawyer should, Obama will make political plans with members of Congress to completely undue all of the anti-constitutional laws that were passed and institute criminal preceedings against Bush, Chaney and their administration pursuant to the provisions of our Constitution, won't he? Well, won't he?
How long did it take to write the 300 page Patriot Act do you suppose?
http://www.novoteleftbehind.net/getedu_archive/patriot.php
"The USA Patriot Act was enacted on October 26, 2001 as a reaction to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Many lawmakers felt the need to take aggressive action after September 11, and the Bush administration provided them a way to do that: the USA Patriot Act. The USA PATRIOT Act is actually an acronym. It stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism." The 300 page act was written by Assistant Attorney General Viet Dinh, kept unavailable to congress members for some time, and passed in two days while Washington, DC was dealing with the anthrax attack. Many congress members had no time to read the act before voting."
This is my take, Maji, on your post 10, "... to take over the Democratic Party and force new leadership to lead a frontal assault on the fascist Trojan Horse. Stay in ranks Brother Steve, if you force the destruction of the Democratic Party at this point in history, you have jest won the war for the fascists."

Have you been watching or listening to the RNC tonight?
Jennifer_SFBA
09/03/08, 10:26 pm
All of America who cares to have a constitutional democracy and an independant America, vote McKinney, vote Green Party!
"Out of 535 members of Congress, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the first to break the consensus of silence and point to the obvious - that the Bush administration had received advance warnings of an attack, and that this called for a full investigation, without limits on what line of questioning is acceptable. After saying so in March, she was vilified without mercy in the (corporate) press, until it became clear that many more people were believing her and supporting her than the pundits and spin managers imagined.
She is certainly outspoken, more so than any other member of Congress except perhaps for Ron Paul, a truly maverick Republican from Texas. Who else in either chamber has the guts to speak openly about Henry Kissinger's war crimes, the CIA murders of Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende, domestic political repression under the COINTELPRO program, the possible U.S. government role in the assassination of Martin Luther King, or the clandestine U.S.role in sparking the Rwandan genocide of 1994? And few indeed are those who still refuse to stand down and stop recalling that the Bush administration came to power in an illegitimate coup."
You may have noticed, Maji, I am registered Green Party. I played that voting for the lesser of two evils game nearly all of my voting life, as a Democrat. I was posting here on this site at the time I changed my political party affiliation to Green, so it wasn't all that long ago. At least I'll rest better knowing I did what I could do to do the right thing for the right reasons that includes the time I take to post what I do here on this site.
An alternative approach is to vote against every incubant who had anything to do with the effective destruction of our constitution and our rights under our constitution. Between doing that and voting Green Party, I think voting Green Party is the better of the two approaches.
Yes Jennifer,
I VERY WELL KNOW YOU ARE for the "GREEN PARTY" (I read it over and over), and the very BEST way to sabotage our country as well as our planet is to throw away your vote for ANYONE who will pull precious votes away from our ONLY chance to turn the tide!
It's a vote for McCain/Palin who WILL continue to destroy Earth's environment and inhabitants which is NOT the creed of The Green Party. A most noble Party but without http://www.fairvote.org/?page=1668 will NEVER get anywhere until http://www.fairvote.org/?page=1668 is established in every district in our country!
It is the ONLY way a third, forth or howmany ever will work!
I have mentioned this several times in the past, as you well know, and have NEVER read where you thought it worthy to fight for or work toward.
Instead, you post so very much about things we cannot do anything about
i.e. Skull & Bones, Bilderberg, Rockefellar, Global power, Fourth Reich, UFOs, Aliens,.. to list a few!
There is absolutely no sense in certifying a FASCIST government which is no doubt our absolute destiny with McCain as president.
You are constantly complaining of that: witness THIS thread as only one of the ever so many, and you would throw your vote away, knowing there are many activists working for progressive democrats to turn the tide against fascism!
Have you paid ANY attention AT ALL to ALL that IS known about Palin in -V's-thread on McCain's 72 nd birthday?
Did you watch Palin's speech (video) at her church on the thread, which was only a couple of weeks ago?
You couldn't have or you wouldn't still talk of throwing away your vote on someone that will NOT WIN THE PRESIDENCY FOR SURE!
if you force the destruction of the Democratic Party at this point in history, you have jest won the war for the fascists."
Again, Did you see or hear the RNConvention tonight?

Notice how there were no protests and marches during the demoRATic convention? Republicans have LIVES and more productive things to do!!

Why were these protesters not out helping the hurricane victims if they have so much time on their hands and want to help America?
I'm glad they were arrested....GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!!
Yes, there were anti-war protests at the Democratic convention. By the way, I'm pretty sure that Republicans take part in protests too, usually against things like gay marriage and abortion. Don't they have more productive things to do? Anyway, I don't see why that has anything to do with journalists actually getting arrested. I also don't see how someone's First Amendment freedoms can be denied on the grounds that "they don't belong at the republican convention."
Let me explain something to you. Political activism and charitable/humanitarian aid are both very appropriate and necessary methods of creating change for the better. Humanitarian assistance lends a helping hand to people after a disaster, etc, has already occurred. Political activism, on the other hand, often gets to the root of a problem. It reminds me of a quote from Dom Helda Camara: "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist."
In response to Jennifer and Magi2, I think you both raise some good points, and this topic should probably have its own thread. My own view is that Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader should pursue a safe state strategy. In addition, the Green Party's infrastructure needs to be built up first and foremost before we can hope to have an impact on national elections. More to say, but I need to go now.

New revelations on VP choice heighten crisis of McCain campaign
There is an overpowering element of hypocrisy in the whole affair. The Christian right seeks to impose fundamentalist precepts on the entire American population—by banning abortion, contraception, sex education, the teaching of evolution, stem cell research, etc. Yet they blithely defend Governor Palin on the grounds that Bristol’s pregnancy (as well as Todd Palin’s drunk-driving charge and similar incidents) are proof that the Palins are just regular folks. As McCain speechwriter Mark Salter declared, “These things happen. This has probably happened to millions of American families.” Think Progress: Maddow on Palin: ‘It is becoming less likely by the hour that she will be McCain’s nominee. AntiWar: PALIN: ‘PRAY THAT’ OUR LEADERS ARE SENDING OUR TROOPS TO IRAQ ‘ON A TASK FROM GOD’ (Video): It hasn’t been easy to find anything about Sarah Palin’s positions on foreign policy issues, but this clip from a speech to her church gives a clue: “Pray for our military. He [Palin's son] is going to be deployed in September to Iraq – pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right for this country – that our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God, that’s what he have to make sure we are praying for, that there is a plan and that it is God’s plan.” (about 6 min into the clip) JTA: Palin meets with AIPAC leaders: McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb said Palin spoke about “the relationship between Israel and American national security, and the threats to Israel from Iran and others.” “She was extremely well received,” Goldfarb said, noting that Palin was interrupted by applause twice. AIPAC also praised the meeting. ” We had a good, productive discussion on the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and we were pleased that Gov. Palin expressed her deep, personal and lifelong commitment to the safety and well-being of Israel,” the group's spokesman, Josh Block, said in a statement. “She expressed her support for the special friendship between the two democracies and said she would work to expand and deepen the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Israel.” Going to Iraq for God (killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people), working for Israel (the parasitic statelet that is bleeding the American taxpayers dry), or even the fact that the Zionist lobby has the power to vet the US VP/Presidential candidates, all of this is not the reason for the "crisis". It should have been. -No, the reason for this crisis, and by now it really HAS become one (albeit a small one), is the fact that Palin's teenage daughter is pregnant without being married! Good Heavens! We could not have expected any better from the moronic mainstream media, of course, but what about the public? -The American public has by and large become irrelevant. Will this dismal situation last forever? -Our worst fears may come to pass. Existentialist Cowboy: How McCain's Palin Pick Makes 'Age' Issue Number One.

Mass arrests of protesters at Republican National Convention
The police fired tear gas, beanbags and used tasers to arrest hundreds of protesters. Also targeted were independent journalists and photographers and groups that monitor police abuse against protesters. Among those seized by the police were an Associated Press photographer, a group of University of Kentucky student journalists and Amy Goodman, the host of the liberal radio show “Democracy Now!” Goodman was arrested for “interfering with peace officers” when she questioned police about the arrest and bloodying of her show’s two producers. The Real News: Arrested at the RNC: Amy Goodman talks about being detained at the RNC. Online Journal: Ramsey County charges nonviolent Food Not Bombs volunteers under Minnesota version of USAPATRIOT Act, alleges acts of terrorism. The Bush regime's police state war against the constitution and the people marches forward. It is their intent to stomp out protest completely, to remove all resistance, to hobble the people, to grind them down, to terrorize them. Redditorial.com: It’s happening under your noses: The United States of America has become a police state.
Democrats silent on threat from religious right
The turning of this personal event in the life of an adolescent girl and her family into a media circus is symptomatic of the unhealthy character of American politics and of the media itself. Nonetheless, the Republicans have secretly welcomed the controversy as a means of diverting public attention from more substantive political questions and enabling it to lash out at the traditional villains of its right-wing populist demagogy—the “liberal” media and the Washington “elites.” The media and the Democrats have tip-toed around the most important political implications of the Palin nomination: the fact that one of America’s two major political parties is effectively controlled by forces that can be best described as theocratic fascists, who see her nomination as a means of imposing their ideology on the country at large. AntiWar: PALIN: ‘PRAY THAT’ OUR LEADERS ARE SENDING OUR TROOPS TO IRAQ ‘ON A TASK FROM GOD’. Democratic Underground / Salon: Best statement yet about Palin -- One day on the Greatest Page ain't long enough for this! -What's galling is this: When the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, minority teenage mother growing up in some (presumably Democratic) urban area, that pregnancy becomes fodder for lectures from conservatives about bad parenting, the perils of welfare spending and so on. But when the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, white teenager from some small town in a Republican state, that pregnancy is...a celebration of the wonders of God's magnificence--and choosing life!
'Palin told AIPAC she wants stronger Israel ties'
U.S. Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin told the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC on Tuesday that she would "work to expand and deepen the strategic partnership between U.S. and Israel," the group's spokesman told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. According to the Wall Street Journal, Palin spent Tuesday in her hotel suite with campaign aides working on her speech at the Republican Convention scheduled for Wednesday. Sources familiar with her schedule said that she also had a private session with Jewish Senator Joe Lieberman. SF Gate: Coming out swinging: Palin Attacks 'Washington Elite'.

Hi, Maji. You wrote concerning my political activism related to voting: "... without http://www.fairvote.org/?page=1668 will NEVER get anywhere until http://www.fairvote.org/?page=1668 is established in every district in our country! ... I have mentioned this several times in the past, as you well know, and have NEVER read where you thought it worthy to fight for or work toward."
As an example, you might want to see the tread I started in July, 2006, "What You Can Do to Protect America's Voting Rights" and, yes, I am still an activist member of Black Box Voting.
Then, following, "I have mentioned this several times in the past, as you well know, and have NEVER read where you thought it worthy to fight for or work toward," you write, "Instead, you post so very much about things we cannot do anything about i.e. Skull & Bones, Bilderberg, Rockefellar, Global power, Fourth Reich, UFOs, Aliens,.. to list a few!"
Now, are you saying knowledge of those things is irrelevant, unimportant, supperfluous and that you and the world, inasmuch as you say "we cannot do anything about," is better off knowing nothing about them? If so, it amazes how you see the time researchers and writers, scientists and authors, ex-military officers and enlisted men and politicians with impecable credentials and reputations all spend researching, writing, reading and lecturing on those subjects as being a waste.
One of the elements you listed is aliens. Aliens are a face to face reality in my life and are a reality in many many many other people's lives right here all over our planet, Earth. The ones I am connected with are highly spiritual and highly intelligent beings. On those levels, do you really believe that aliens are not worth knowing about?
Another element you listed is UFOs. Do you really believe that knowing about technology aliens use in UFOs is not worthwhile?
Other elements you include as a criticism are Skull & Bones, Bilderberg, Rockefellar, Global power, Fourth Reich. Do you really believe not knowing, as Billery said about Obama, that he "doesn't know how the world works" makes us all better off?
Then you say, "There is absolutely no sense in certifying a FASCIST government which is no doubt our absolute destiny with McCain as president."
In post #92 in the Obama thread in the Voting Booth I wrote:
Does it matter who the driver is in a vehicle, the destiny of which is strait into One World Government, the New World Order, the Fourth Reich? I will not go there willingly! I will continue calling out to those birds with their heads in the sand against their own denial. Over a short period of time Obama has gone to the Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, Virginia and received their blessings, has said the US will remain in the Middle East, and has as some of his key advisors 9/11 commission members, then, when asked very recently who he would turn to for advice in a crisis said, "Sam Nunn," one of the biggest war hawks and anti-gay biggots on Capitol Hill. There is Obama's comment about not impeaching Bush. The guy is a Harvard laywer! His values and mine are not sympatico.
In this thread I posted:
"Out of 535 members of Congress, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the first to break the consensus of silence and point to the obvious - that the Bush administration had received advance warnings of an attack, and that this called for a full investigation, without limits on what line of questioning is acceptable. After saying so in March, she was vilified without mercy in the (corporate) press, until it became clear that many more people were believing her and supporting her than the pundits and spin managers imagined.
She is certainly outspoken, more so than any other member of Congress except perhaps for Ron Paul, a truly maverick Republican from Texas. Who else in either chamber has the guts to speak openly about Henry Kissinger's war crimes, the CIA murders of Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende, domestic political repression under the COINTELPRO program, the possible U.S. government role in the assassination of Martin Luther King, or the clandestine U.S.role in sparking the Rwandan genocide of 1994? And few indeed are those who still refuse to stand down and stop recalling that the Bush administration came to power in an illegitimate coup."
NOTE: Assassinations of democratically elected political leaders and genocide.
You, I, America have not yet voted. Cynthia McKinney and Ron Paul are who the Fourth Reich corporatists absolutely do not want. Why is that, do you think, and why had they approved Obama, Biden, Clinton, McCain, aPalin?

Maji, you said, "Have you paid ANY attention AT ALL to ALL that IS known about Palin in -V's-thread on McCain's 72 nd birthday?"
Please read my post #29 in the tread, "On his 72nd bday grandpa McCain makes a nutty VP pick!"
It is plainly evident to all, including Republicans, who aPalin is, what aPalin is about and that aPalin is presently under her own legislatures investigation for ethics violations. Does it phase them, the good Satanic Christians that they are? Jesus Christ has nothing at all in common with their ways, whatsoever.
I am neither a strict evolutionist, nor a strict creationist. Elements of both are true concerning life on our planet, Earth.

It would be a good idea to read and give it some consideration and your opinion on it
.... you write, "Instead, you post so very much about things we cannot do anything about i.e. Skull & Bones, Bilderberg, Rockefellar, Global power, Fourth Reich, UFOs, Aliens,.. to list a few!"

I've read a few of your postings on the articles mentioned and feel it's pretty much a waste of time when there are really more pressing things to read. I find the lack of references for many of your stories i.e. Obama actually being at the Bilderberg meeting and what happened with him present, questionable. Many of your references above are not the last word as well. By the way,
One of the elements you listed is aliens. Aliens are a face to face reality in my life and are a reality in many many many other people's lives right here all over our planet, Earth. The ones I am connected with are highly spiritual and highly intelligent beings. On those levels, do you really believe that aliens are not worth knowing about?
Actually, you are the only person who talks of relationships with aliens that I ever heard about in my 73 years of life, so it's not information I need to have at this time.
Another element you listed is UFOs. Do you really believe that knowing about technology aliens use in UFOs is not worthwhile?
ummm, I have yet to see a UFO up close or know of anyone who has shown that technology.
Other elements you include as a criticism are Skull & Bones, Bilderberg, Rockefellar, Global power, Fourth Reich. Do you really believe not knowing, as Billery said about Obama, that he "doesn't know how the world works" makes us all better off?
I'm not sure what you mean with that statement and question. Please be more specific.
Then you say, "There is absolutely no sense in certifying a FASCIST government which is no doubt our absolute destiny with McCain as president."
I meandt and mean that with every beat of my heart!
The rest of your post is a lot of your speculation and your conclusions with which I do not entirely agree, nor find an imminent threat as you, in comparison to all that is presently happening in our U.S. of A!
Did you watch Palin's speech (video) at her church on the thread, which was only a couple of weeks ago?
You couldn't have or you wouldn't still talk of throwing away your vote on someone that will NOT WIN THE PRESIDENCY FOR SURE!
if you force the destruction of the Democratic Party at this point in history, you have jest won the war for the fascists."
Again, Did you see or hear the RNConvention last night?
Have you read: http://www.fairvote.org/?page=1668

My condominium is in the San Francisco Bay area. I am well aware of IRV there. SF has districted elections. Conservative districts vote conservative and liberal districts vote liberal for seats on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. There are many more liberal districts in SF than conservative districts, so the SF Board of Supervisors is predominately liberal. There are merits to IRV, and there are down sides. True political innovation in parties may be watered down by the IRV process. Then again SF, though it is a world-class city, is entrenched in maintaining its' victorianesqe, distinctive small town like neighborhood appeal complete with its' ma and pa owned stores. There won't be anything like Al Fresco's architectural plans, or any other new age architectural plans for that matter accepted there by SF city planning. A problem to consider is a hypothetical liberal, moderate and a conservative running against each other in a political race. Decades ago, Rockefellar, for example, "a lifelong Republican and party contributor, like his father in the dynastic line, is a committed member of the moderate "Rockefeller Republicans" that arose out of the political ambitions and public policy stance of his brother Nelson. In 2006 he teamed up with former Goldman Sachs executives and others to form a fund-raising group based in Washington, Republicans Who Care, that supported moderate Republican candidates over more ideological contenders.[35]" That is how the United States of America has gotten to where it is today. Repeating a politically negative past is not a recipe for future political sucess, and IRV will not solve that problem.
"I've read a few of your postings on the articles mentioned and feel it's pretty much a waste of time when there are really more pressing things to read. I find the lack of references for many of your stories i.e. Obama actually being at the Bilderberg meeting and what happened with him present, questionable. Many of your references above are not the last word as well. By the way,"
In a nutshell, the short video below is what it's about, and your saying, "... pretty much a waste of time when there are really more pressing things to read," is ignorant (Note the root word "ignore"). As far as accademic Bilderberg resources go, they are all over the internet and in books, videos, lectures galore. No, the world is not as you thought it was!

"The rest of your post is a lot of your speculation and your conclusions with which I do not entirely agree, nor find an imminent threat as you, in comparison to all that is presently happening in our U.S. of A!"
My conclusions are based on a huge amount of reseach conducted by noted authors whose works I have read or by presenters I have seen in video form or by presenters I have seen in confernces I have attended and in discussions I have had with them. They are not my speculation as though I were lying around dreaming up this material. Who would want to? Not me!
You know I do not watch television. One of my roomates, however, was watching the RNConvention on her computer. I stopped to listen for a few minutes. That was all I could take of the lies and distortions I was hearing. I get my information from books and lectures and discussions and videos and internet research.
Did you hear Sean Malloy's interview with aPalin on Air America that I listen to on my way to and from work? I did, live!
aPalin is my play on apalling. Ya, I know the name is pronounced like pail-in.
I am well aware of IRV there. SF has districted elections. Conservative districts vote conservative and liberal districts vote liberal for seats on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. There are many more liberal districts in SF than conservative districts, so the SF Board of Supervisors is predominately liberal. There are merits to IRV, and there are down sides.
So, you had IRV decades ago.......?
Your long winded answer is meaningless!
How, actually did IRV do in the past elections, when it came to 3rd (or more) party votes is more pointedly the question!
How easily you dismiss IRV when you hope to make The Green Party a meaningful statement in our vote in the future!

Let me explain something to you.
Pompous arrogant liberal.
Political activism and charitable/humanitarian aid are both very appropriate and necessary methods of creating change for the better.
So, the left wing loons that disrupted and were thrown out of the RNC last night are "appropriate"? What right do they have to interrupt John McCain when he is speaking?
Doesn't free speech also apply to REPUBLICANS?
Political activism, on the other hand, often gets to the root of a problem.
Any examples?!?
By the way, I'm pretty sure that Republicans take part in protests too,
Wrong!!! From what I can see, protests are conducted during working hours. The only people that are able to join in would be welfare recipients and college students.
I don't see why that has anything to do with journalists actually getting arrested.
Do you know WHY they were arrested?
I also don't see how someone's First Amendment freedoms can be denied on the grounds that "they don't belong at the republican convention."
Were McCain's rights being violated by the loons who disrupted his speech at the RNC?
It does go both ways, correct?
McCain/Palin will gain victory. Obama is all talk. TRUE Americans will see through that!!!!

I'm assuming that you're referring to protestors who somehow made it inside the RNC convention last night. I'm talking about journalists out on the streets who got arrested simply for covering the protests outside of the convention and the police response.
Any examples?!?
Civil rights laws, workers rights laws, environmental laws, consumer protections, Social Security, Medicare, just to name a few. All or most of these were initiated by citizen activism to get the laws changed and/or enforced.
Wrong!!! From what I can see, protests are conducted during working hours. The only people that are able to join in would be welfare recipients and college students.

Demonstrating for a multitude of reasons!

Now there's an invitation to communalism and permaculture! I know quite a few people who have relationships with aliens, and they are wonderful people.
I have been on board alien craft. Check out this official video taken from official NASA space craft of UFOs above our planet, Earth:
On my walk, I gave a few minutes of thought to that video showing what may have been a UFO.
I seriously ask why a vulnerable NASA vehicle would try to shoot down an unknown UFO? Were they friendly aliens and why would they (NASA) put themselves and our planet at such risk?
Next time you visit a UFO and/or your alien friends, it would be a good idea to get the plans for their energy use and everything about the UFOs. You could save US from waring with all the nations of the world for their OIL & other resources as well........ save US from the environmental disasters of Global warming.
As for most of the authors and videos you present, so far I find very little to spend any time on, and I have better ways to spend time than on "conferences and lectures" which pertain to speculation on aliens or Bilderbergs or "The Fourth Reich", when I feel I must do my best to avert loss of our Constitutional Rights as seen by the fascist thugs attacking peaceful demonstrators in St. Paul, Minnesota., U.S.A.!...............
I watched every second of Palin's speech because I needed to assess it myself ..........with no help or speculation from ANYONE!
Jennifer, I admit there is one thing we totally agree on:
Palin is appalling and her religion would be the ruin of our Constitution and the U.S.A.!
I did NOT watch McSame because he has flip flopped and lied on every issue of any substance so many times, it would have been a pure waste of good time!So back to the reason this conversation began:

“Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.”

The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the freedom of assembly, and the freedom to petition. It also prohibits unreasonable search and seizure, cruel and unusual punishment, and compelled self-incrimination. The Bill of Rights also prohibits Congress from making any law respecting establishment of religion and prohibits the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. In federal criminal cases, it requires indictment by grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime", guarantees a speedy public trial with an impartial jury composed of members of the state or judicial district in which the crime occurred, and prohibits double jeopardy. In addition, the Bill of Rights states that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people,"[2] and reserves all powers not granted to the federal government to the citizenry or States. Most of these restrictions were later applied to the states by a series of decisions applying the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, after the American Civil War.

Michelledem, Where are your examples of right wing protests at the demoRATic convention? Can't find any?
I specifically said in my first response to you that there were anti-war protests outside the DNC. At no point did I say that there were rightwing protests at the Democratic convention. When you asked for examples, I thought you wanted to know examples of political activism getting to the root of a problem, of which I gave you a few. The other point I was trying to make was that Republicans do take part in various protests. It may or may not be at a party's nominating convention.
Does McCain have a right to speak at the RNC without disruption?
Yes. However, if you're suggesting that McCain's free speech rights were being violated by a Code Pink activist who stood up to express opposition and was escorted out of the auditorium within a minute, then I'd say that you're dead wrong. It's inevitable that in a crowded auditorium there are going to be people who interrupt a speaker at some point. I'm sure that the audience interrupted him with their cheers and shouts just as much as that one person. If one individual is culpable of abridging his free speech rights, then most of the auditorium is equally to blame. Either way, McCain was able to give his speech in its entirety. Fair enough. At least he wasn't arrested by the police.

I am glad you reseached Alex Jones, MAJI. He's gutsy and even got inside Bohemian Grove surreptitiously during one big event there and took film footage of what he observed! There are conservatives too, horribly concerned about one world government, the New World Order, the Fourth Reich. Alex is one of those, and he's doing as much as he can about it as publically, politically and loudly as he is able.
"Next time you visit a UFO and/or your alien friends, it would be a good idea to get the plans for their energy use and everything about the UFOs. You could save US from waring with all the nations of the world for their OIL & other resources as well........ save US from the environmental disasters of Global warming."
Bob Lazar has spilled those beans. The U.S. has been back-engineering UFO technology for the past 60 years, some of which crashed do to craft malfunctions and some of which were shot down by our own U.S. military. The STS-48 UFO video is not of the U.S. space shuttle firing at the craft, but of a particle beam weapon firing at it that reseachers believe originated from the super secret U.S. military base that is located in Australia known as Pine Gap to and from where NASA's robotic probes send and receive their signals before they are beamed to NASA facilities. A military secret that is not a secret is that the U.S. space shuttle is armed. Bob's website is the one below:

For the record, I saw one (independant) Zeta working controls on an alien craft I was taken aboard, but have never had any communication at all with any Zeta, or Gray alien. Zetas and Grays are not the same.
THE UNDERGROUND LAB (S4)
Carved into the base of the Papoose mountain is a laboratory including nine hangars, each one housing an alien disc. It was at this base where Lazar worked. In addition to the hands on experience with the Reticulan craft and propulsion system, Lazar and other scientists were briefed on programs relating to these aliens and their involvement with the human race. The briefings presented an overview of aliens "externally correcting" our evolution over the last 10,000 years and least 15 years of direct technology exchange between extra-terrestrial beings and the scientists at S4.
The content of those briefings and the hands on experience at area S4 make up the information presented here.
The power source (of the UFO he helped back-engineer) is a reactor which uses element 115 as its fuel. In this reactor element 115 is used as a target and is bombarded with protons in a small, highly sophisticated particle accelerator. When a proton fuses into the nucleus of an atom of 115, it is transmuted and becomes an atom of element 116. Although we too can transmute elements here on earth, it is typically not done in this fashion, or at anywhere near this level of efficiency. Furthermore, we have yet to produce anything heavier than element 112.
As soon as each atom of 115 is transmuted into 116, it immediately decays and produces a radiation unlike that which we normally observe in nuclear decay. Each atom of element 116 decays and releases two antiprotons (anti-hydrogen), a form of antimatter. Antimatter can be produced in particle accelerators here on earth, but only in minute quantities and only stored for short periods of time.
The flux of antimatter particles produced in the reactor are channeled down an evacuated, tuned tube (which keeps it from contacting with the matter that surrounds it) and reacted with a gaseous matter target. This Total Annihilation reaction is the most efficient and energetic nuclear reaction there is. The more familiar nuclear reactions are Fission, producing energy from the splitting of atoms as used in nuclear reactors & atomic bombs, and Fusion, the fusing or combining of atoms (typically hydrogen nuclei) to release even more energy. Fusion is the reaction that powers the sun and other stars and is what gives hydrogen bombs their "punch". These two more common nuclear reactions are dwarfed by the power and efficiency of the annihilation reaction used in the alien reactor.
The reaction between the gaseous matter target and the antimatter particles produces a continuos release of tremendous amounts of heat. This heat is converted directly into electricity by the use of a thermionic Generator. The Thermeonic generator used in this reactor is so efficient, that there is no detectable waste heat produced. This is an apparent violation of one of the basic laws of thermodynamics. Similar, but not nearly as efficient or powerful, thermionic generators are used as power sources in our satellites and space probes.
As amazing and efficient as all this seems, it is only secondary to the primary function of the reactor. The antiparticle flux emitted from the transmuting element 115 is not the only energy radiated during operation. This is the point at which the gravity A wave is first produced. The gravity wave emitted by the 115 reaction appears on the hemisphere of the reactor, propagating up the tuned waveguide in a fashion very similar to the way microwaves behave.
All of the actions and reactions inside the reactor are orchestrated perfectly like a tiny little ballet, and in this manner, the reactor provides an enormous amount of power used to amplify the gravity A wave so it can cause the requisite space/time distortion for space travel..

John Coleman, Ph.D. and a fundamentalist Christian conservative has also written about he New World Order. I read one of his books, "The Committee of 300," and, of course, liberal David Icke has written extensively about it. I have read many of his books, have many of his videos that I have viewed multiple times with friends, been to one of his lectures that was a 3 day event and, I spent several hours talking with him there at the Junior College in Weed near Mount Shasta in 2006.

Do you know Lear jets, the private corporate jet aircraft? John Lear. Jr. the son of John Lear, Sr. who owned the company who manufactured Lear jets, and an airline pilot and CIA pilot for some covert CIA operations, husband, father, UFO and aliens researcher, knew Bob Lazar since before the time Bob was interviewed for his position at Area 51 and S4, and John continues to know Bob Lazar to this day. After Bob learned the UFO flight schedule at Area 51, Bob took John out to see flights of UFOs leaving from and returning to Area 51, and John has video he took of UFOs being flown at Area 51.
Below is an April 2, 2008 video interview with John Lear, Jr. descibing John's long time association and friendship with Bob Lazar. In the search box on Google Video, please input - John Lear Tells All - Part 2 of 4 if it's not in the list that comes up:
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=john+lear&emb=0&aq=f#q=john%20lear&emb=0&aq=f&start=10
Does the video tell of the progressive vehicles Lazar has on the market?
:confused:
Nazi treatment in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA:
http://firedoglake.com/2008/09/06/sadism-cruelty-torture-in-the-twin-cities-professional-cultural-norms-for-us-law-enforcement/
Hit the url to see you tube account, and the full gruesome article about fascist "police" treatment in OUR USA!
Over the last week we've seen even the MSM drop the Village kewl kids pose and stand up to criticize the pervasive cruelty, abuse, and illegal use of force "law" enforcement inflicted upon the Twin Cities community.
The torture, sadism, and abuse the Minneapolis Police, St. Paul Police, Ramsey County Sheriffs (and out of town departments) unleashed upon protesters, press, passers-by, and community members took place while Homeland Security and the Secret Service they control were in direct command of all area "law" enforcement and had final authority over all decisions about protests and protesters. In other words, what we saw in the Twin Cities shows us how American local "law" enforcement act in broad daylight when the Feds are on the scene and supervising their work.
Over the last week, we had a chance to observe de facto professional cultural norms in America's local, state, and Federal enforcement. This is what democracy looks like?
What happened to people in local communities of color who weren't even associated with the protests? Here's what Rebecca Trotzky-Sirr, a fourth-year Univ. of Minnesota medical student learned when she interviewed a local resident on behalf of United Communities Against Police Brutality:
While much attention has been paid to arrests of prominent journalists & protesters harsh treatment during arrests, in the streets of St Paul many community members feel invisible as they live out the RNC protest repercussions. Undocumented families, refugees have been staying away from their homes in highly patrolled areas near downtown St Paul in fear of encountering police by accident. I visited and documented a gentleman of color who had no prior criminal history, who was detained without cause near central St Paul. During his arrest, while handcuffed he was beat by a police officer. The victim had recently had major surgery, released from hospital less than a week prior. Later, during booking, the same officer punched him repeatedly in the head and neck in front of other officers who looked on without concern. When police realized that this man was severely injured, they drove him one block away from the hospital and let him limp his way to the ER.
People of color, those most marginalized in our community, have faced severe consequences because of RNC protests. Police riled up, frustrated with protesters are taking out their anger on those without large wallets, or skin privilege.
Michael Cavlan, RN is a nurse who works on surgical trauma and burn units. I know surgical trauma nurses -- I used to work with them. The ones I knew weren't prone to overstatement: working around intense suffering makes that a very poor occupational choice. What did Michael Cavlan observe on the steets of the Twin Cities during the RNC?
Day Two
I hear "we need a medic over here" so we responded. Apparently, the police had maced a member of the "Minnesota Peace Team." These were all people marked in bright green vests, who were working with the police to contain violence. The two that were maced, full in the face were both 70 year old men. For the record, the peace teams had been very successful in de-escalating violence. I ran over and treated one and my buddy treated the other one. While I was doing so, someone from the crowd ran over and said "buddy, get out of here, I heard the cops say 'get the medic in blue.'"
I hightailed out of there, ditching my blue scrubs. Ironically, as I did so a young man has a seizure, fell and hit his head hard right in front of me. I was still a medic, just unmarked now. I and others treated him until an ambulance arrived and took him to the hospital. Again, for the record we were now getting reports that the police were specifically targeting journalists and medics all over.
[snip]
At this time the police gave a dispersal order. We knew what that meant. They threw gas and concussion grenades into the crowd and then opened up with rubber bullets, wooden baton rounds, tear gas etc etc.
My team treated another young lady who had been maced in the face and delivered her to the clinic, to get cleaned up from the burning chemicals on her face, eyes, arms and clothes. By the way, this stuff hurts even when you only put your exposed skin on someone who was hit by it.
[snip]
Day Three
My buddy was redeployed back to jail support while I went back to more organizational meetings. During one, I got paged. Apparently, the police had beaten two of the protesters in jail so badly that they released them. When they release people that they beat, that is bad. They asked me to come help them, as they know I am a Trauma Nurse. Then they called back and said that it was OK as a Doctor had showed up at the clinic site..
[snip]
One young man had apparently just returned from serving in Iraq. I treated him after the police maced him, full in the eyes. He had been simply walking by, going somewhere. As I treated him one of the NLG lawyers came by, took his information and a picture. At this time, the wall of police opened up, a commander of some sort pointed at myself and the lawyer, took a picture of us. I thought, "oh sh*t" and myself, my son and the lawyer started to walk away. Then a group of about fifteen bike cops came after us, surrounded me and pushed my son aside. Sean went to get the lawyer to help and they apparently threatened to tase him. Thank God, I did not know this at this time.
They detained me, searched me and questioned me. Then they let me go. I took my son home and went home to bed.
[snip]
We now have reports that Minneapolis has been legally put in the hands of the Department of Homeland Security.
All of our elected officials and the media have failed us. The question is, what do we do about it?
This is your Op Ed Journalista and Street Medic, Michael Cavlan reporting from the occupied Twin Cities.
What did the Northstar Health Collective learn and see in the Twin Cities during the RNC?
On Monday evening, two clearly marked providers, giving care to a paraplegic, were forcibly thrown to the ground by police and arrested. Explained Sean P. McCoy, a U.S. Navy Veteran and trained EMT:
"My medic partner and I were treating a handicapped male in a wheelchair for pepper spray to the face at the parking lot of Jackson Street. In the process of treating the patient, we were surrounded by several police officers in riot gear and forcibly thrown to the ground and told we were under arrest. We were then forcibly removed from our patient, handcuffed, and forced to lay face down on the ground while the officers proceeded to cut our bags off of us and remove all of our medical gear by dumping it on the ground."

Thank you for that chilling look into Hitlerian police state tactics employed against We, the people in St. Paul courtesy of the Patriot Act that empowers Homeland Security that oversees local police. Now it is obvious for all to see that local police are federalized.
What are the "powers that be" afraid of? What do they have to lose?
1) We, the people of the United States of America overwhelmingly believe that 9/11 was an inside job, not because we want to belive it, but because the evidence says that's what happened, and we've seen the evidence that does not add up to conclusions drawn in the 9/11 Report. If proven true in a legal proceeding, then, that is a most serious crime for which there are grave and severe penalties!
2) We, the people of the United States of America overwhelmingly believe that Shrub, Chaney and their Federal Administration deliberately contributed to the bringing down of the twin towers in New York and lied to the American people as provocation for instituting the unconstitutional Patriot Act and as provocation to take over Iraq. If proven true in a legal proceeding, then, those are most serious crimes for which there are grave and severe penalties!
3) We, the people of the United States of America overwhelmingly believe that the root of the takeover of the United States by those who perpetrated, 1) and 2) above is gain control of United States intelligence agencies and military and police force powers for the purposes of worldwide eugenic genocide and to bring about the one world government, the New World Order, the Fourth Reich in our world. The American Revolutionary War was fought to bring constitutional democracy to America. Will We, the people stand by in the face of such dire threats to the Constitution of the, our, United States of America and our Bill of Rights? That remains to be seen.
Yes Jennifer,
We The People DO and DID state their rights with Peaceful Demonstrations;
Amy Goodman and crew of Democracy NOW, Jane and Christy of firedoglake.com, Thom Hartmann and his ilk, Keith Olberman & Rachel Maddow, Katrina Vanden Heuval of The Nation, and Oh so many others, that are filming and reporting the REAL actual brutality happening in America NOW;
and :toast: to -V- and others who have blogs such as POL, which allow US to present and discuss all that actual news!
It's happening here and now and in less than 2 months we have a chance to do our best to overwhelmingly bring about the CHANGE we need!
We The People want to take back OUR Democracy from Corporate (FASCIST) control and
all the underhanded unlawful secrecy and violence exposed!
We want OUR media to REALLY be FAIR and BALANCED and OUR government to return to American Democracy as OUR Constitution provides and away from imperialistic aggression all over the world .............. and lies which brought us pre-emptive, manipulated WAR which is ruining our economy!
We The People want this country to return to the days of Good LIFE,

Here I have the most compelling reason to vote for Barrack Obama for President of the United States of America, namely, to attempt stop the globalists' Fourth Reich plans for our world!
The Shrub Administration had several military aircraft moved from Minot AFB to Barksdale, Louisiana that had on board unauthorized, unsecured, undocmented and undeclared nuclear weapons. According to Russian Military Intelligence Analysts those aircraft with those nuclear weapons on board were destined to go to the middle east and to be used to attack Iran under the authority of the Shrub Administration and with the support of the Shrub Administration's minions in the Pentagon. Why and how, when it is Congress that is the only only constitutional governmental body with the authority to declare war, were those military aircraft loaded with undeclared US nuclear weapons on board released under bypassed military nuclear weapons security precedures? Why did so many of the military men directly responsible for tracking those particular nuclear weapons, both enlisted men and officers assigned at both Minot and Barksdale, end up dead within the same short span of time after it became known that US nuclear weapons had been moved outside of normal, stingent military nuclear security procedures?
Might there be an inside, surreptious nuclear attack against We, the people and against America set up by the globalists? Might this occur prior to the time that Obama would occupy the Whitehouse? Might the economic rug be pulled out from under America by the globalist Federal Reserve even if Obama should occupy the Whitehouse if it appears the Repulican Party will lose the November elections? Afterall, if the globalists purpetrated 9/11 for their cause, what will they not do?

Kerry, Casey Demand Gates Explain Missing Nuclear Weapon Parts
Jun 20, 2008 - 07:51 AM
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sens. John Kerry and Bob Casey today called on U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to explain how 1,000 sensitive nuclear missile parts could have gone missing.
“Yesterday’s revelation that the Administration has reportedly lost track of a 1,000 sensitive nuclear missile components is only the latest reminder of how this President has dangerously compromised our nuclear security,” said Sen. Kerry. “While George Bush and John McCain were preoccupied with the misguided war in Iraq, they lost sight of the real danger – terrorists getting their hands on the world’s most dangerous weapons. This is just another in a series of nuclear debacles that have happened on this Administration’s watch. America deserves a President who will make securing nuclear materials – rather than losing them – a top priority.”
“I have serious concerns over the growing pattern of negligent conduct by the Executive Branch when it comes to tracking and safeguarding our nuclear weapons and related components,” said Sen. Casey. “It astonishes me that the Air Force is losing track of the most dangerous weapons in our military arsenal, especially when nuclear terrorism represents the gravest threat to our national security. I urge Secretary of Defense Gates to undertake a thorough review of the process by which our nation safeguards its nuclear stockpile.”
The missing nuclear weapon components follow a series of serious errors by the Bush Administration. In 2006, the US military shipped four nuclear-missile detonators to Taiwan. It took over a year before the error was identified. In another misstep, a B-52 bomber loaded with nuclear-armed missiles was flown across the country to Louisiana.
The full text of Sens. Kerry’s and Casey’s letter is as follows:
June 20, 2008
The Honorable Robert Gates
Secretary of Defense
1000 Defense Pentagon
Washington, DC 20310
Dear Mr. Secretary:
We write to express grave concerns over continuing reports that the U.S. Air Force may be compromising our national security as a result of inadequate safeguards on its stockpiles of nuclear weapons and related components.
According to yesterday’s press reports, the U.S. military cannot account for over 1,000 critical nuclear missile components and seems unable to provide an accurate inventory for the total number of such components in its nuclear arsenal. This latest alleged problem, when viewed against the backdrop of a series of related errors, raises legitimate concerns about the security of our country’s nuclear weapons arsenal.
Yesterday’s revelations come on the heels of your recent termination of both the U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff and Air Force Secretary following an investigation by Admiral Kirkland Donald that found “[a] gradual erosion of nuclear standards and a lack of effective oversight by Air Force leadership.”
Indeed, a series of incidents unmistakably conveys a lax approach to nuclear security by the Air Force. In August 2007, a B-52 bomber accidentally and unknowingly flew six nuclear weapons across the country. In March 2008, we learned that the Defense Logistics Agency accidentally transported four nuclear missile detonators to Taiwan in August 2006. Even more alarming was the fact that the U.S. military reportedly did not learn of the detonators’ location until contacted by Taiwanese defense officials more than 18 months later. More recently, an internal Air Force study obtained under the Freedom of Information Act concluded that U.S. nuclear bombs are stored at several air bases in Europe that fail basic security requirements.
This disturbing pattern is simply unacceptable and raises serious questions about the Air Force’s stewardship and oversight of the world’s most dangerous weapons. In light of these errors, we respectfully request that you confirm what steps have been taken to reestablish positive control over nuclear and nuclear-related components, confirm that all nuclear and nuclear-related components are accounted for, and discuss any ongoing efforts to improve oversight and record-keeping of nuclear and nuclear-related components. We also ask that you comment on the adequacy of security arrangements in place in countries where U.S. nuclear weapons are based, including in Europe, and advise us of any ongoing improvements in this area.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. There is simply no single matter that is more serious than the security of our nation’s nuclear weapons. We look forward to hearing from you on this critical issue.
Sincerely,
John F. Kerry
Robert P. Casey, Jr
Cc: Acting Air Force Secretary Michael Donley
I remember the incident and posted it somewhere on POL.
They did have an investigation and the top man was found guilty of the incompetence at Minot.............maybe not incompetance......................

Several things stood out for me in that video. While the press focused on the not so basic anymore constitutional right of the press to be free, in order to enter St. Paul City Hall, all the journalists accepted as being normal that they were being effectively, illegally searched without probable cause by scanning machines before being permitted to enter the city hall building, the focus of the press on 9/11 being an inside job, the illegal war in Iraq, etc. were not being covered on behalf of, We, the people and that city officials had to be sought after rather than St. Paul city officials being in active pursuit of the press to apologize and to go on record as being in support of the rights and freedoms that are guaranteed in our United States Constitution. I was apalled that the police suggested to the press that they be "embedded" with the police to avoid being arrested in the future just as journalists have had to be "embedded" with the military in Iraq in to cover the United States' illegal war there and the effects that war has had and is having on the people of Iraq and the people of the United States.
To understand what neocons are about, but that does not address the neo-Nazis' movements toward one world government, the New World Order, the Fourth Reich today inclusive of the historical Bush and Rockefellar families' involvements with Nazi Germany and now, the New World Order, please see the BBC video video below while you still can:

Now that we've had a few weeks to settle, a look back at Labor Day in the Twin Cities. Labor Day was of course also Day One of the Republican National Convention. Video was released today of an apparent mass arrest of utterly peaceful concert goers at the SEIU Labor Day concert.
My personal favorite moment in the tape is an off-camera exchange. Police in riot gear have surrounded loungers in a waterfront park. They announce, "Ladies and Gentlemen, You're Under Arrest" and you hear one young woman say incredulously "Are you serious?"
Yep, I'm afraid they are.
Here's the press release that came with the video, from the Glass Bead Collective:
BURIED TAPE REVEALS USE OF FORCE AND AN UNWARRANTED MASS ARREST OF BYSTANDERS DURING THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
ST. PAUL, Minnesota (September 18, 2008) Video released today shows the indiscriminate arrest of a crowd of two hundred at the waterfront across from a concert on Harriet Island Regional Park during this month's Republican National Convention in St. Paul. The video includes multiple angles of the event as well as an interview with the cameraman who buried his footage and was one of almost two hundred people arrested for rioting without probable cause.
More than eight hundred people were arrested in St. Paul during the Republican National Convention. This video shows that at least twenty percent of the eight hundred plus arrested were seized without due cause.

So, what is going on in Alaska concerning aPalin; really going on?
A letter from a very concerned man who lives in Alaska:
I think you know that I'm not a big fan of Obama...I want to be...I try to
be...but I have some reservations about him. But - put into the current
perspective, McCain and Palin are truly and undeniably evil in comparison
to him. So...reluctantly I give him my support.
I want to share with you what's happening here in Alaska. It's become very
surreal in an 'X Files' sort of way. Alaska has been inundated with media
and press people for a few weeks now. It's weird to see Greta Vonsestburg
(sp?) from FOX on the streets of Wasilla and Anchorage. What's even odder,
and quite bit more disturbing, is the presence of guys in black suits and
dark glasses all over town. These guys are Secret Service/bodyguards for
the 30 lawyers that the McCain-Palin campaign sent here. These lawyers have
taken over the state Department of Justice! They are the ones who drafted
letters of refusal to appear for the 13 people who were subpoenaed to give
testimony in the 'Troopergate' hearings. (Of note: Palin herself filed an
ethics charge against herself before she was tapped for VP). These guys
seem to carry all the clout of a federal official...but they aren't. I have
a good friend who's the top anchorwoman for Alaska Public Radio network and
the stories she's telling me are amazing. These McCain goons have contacted
every TV, radio, and news outlet in Alaska and made warnings to them to not
publish or air or give out information that puts Palin in a negative light.
They've even been calling reporters homes and harassing their family
members, saying things like, "...if you want to keep your house...if you
want your spouse to keep their job...", etc, and then 'suggesting' they
have a talk with their spouse about 'being careful about what [they]
say'...Unbelievable!
Sean Parnell, the Lt Governor, has been "absent"..."out of the
office"..."not in town"...ever since Palin was nominated. Colberg, the
Attorney General, who should be running the state if and when the gov and
lt gov are not here, was sent to Kansas by the McCain camp lawyers for
"vacation" and "an undisclosed reason and amount of time". For
"vacation"??? At this time? So who's running the government here then?
Seems to be the McCain Lawyers...!
We have 4 major AM radio stations here. Three are right-wing mouthpieces
that mimic FOX. The other is Progressive-owned. There's about 6
conservative talk shows and one progressive one. Every conservative station
is behind Palin while the lone voice of reason (the progressive station) is
attacked daily for being "anti American", "leftist criminals", etc. And I'm
sure you heard about the comment: "...leftist communist baby-killing
maggots...", that a local talk show host called the Woman Against Palin
rally organizers (in addition to giving their phone numbers out on air and
telling listeners to call them and harass them. Many death threats were
recorded...!). So one local radio station is not 'obeying' the McCain
lawyers and still able to get info out. I haven't seen anything on national
news about this covert 'takeover'...have you heard anything there?
So...what I see is an actual invasion. Alaska has been invaded and the
media and 2 branches of the state government have been taken over by
lawyers who work for a presidential candidate. And then I look nationally
and see that investment and banking organizations have been bought by the
US government. There's only one word that comes to mind when I put this
together: fascism. Could Obama change the direction in which we are headed?
I don't know. I'm willing to see him try. But I have my doubts that he will
get to the white house. The elections were fixed the past 2 times (note:
they were fixed in AK when Murkowski (Governor) took office 4 years ago -
the democrats sued the state and found 200% voter turnouts in 20 out of 40
districts...! And nothing happened afterwards...There's many questions
about the legitimacy of Palin's "win" also). The elections, this November,
are also fixed (Google the video, "Hacking Democracy"). McCain will "win"
and Sarah Palin will be the rationale they use to make their illegal and
fraudulent "win" seem valid in the eyes of Americans. I predict one of two
things will happen: either people will go, "OK, well, darn", and allow this
to happen..or...people will riot in the streets calling for justice...and
martial law will be called and the current emperor will either stay on or
pass his crown to his protege.
Ever hear of Prison Boxes?

Three weeks after the Republican National Convention packed up and the country's best hockey arena has ice in it again, the city of St. Paul is still wondering what happened. How did a city that loves its police force -- a city where many residents are on a first-name basis with their cops -- wake up on Sept. 1 in a militarized zone where the cops were deployed in military formations, using military tactics, in ways that did not discriminate between the small band of creeps that came to cause trouble and the throngs of peaceful citizens exercising their rights?
There is no answer yet to that question. But last night's unofficial hearing on the issue -- no mayor, no police chief, no city council president -- showed that the issue has not gone away, and isn't likely to. People packed the City Council chamber, most bringing complaints about the way citizens were treated by public servants.
The focus was on the police, but it wasn't the police who were the target of the anger. It was the policymakers, and the policies that led to mass arrests, the use of pepper gas, concussion grenades, rubber bullets (an inventory of the ordnance used should be provided, by the way) against peaceful protesters and the tactics of intimidation that went along for the ride.
Mike Whalen, a waiter and activist who has given free Irish dancing lessons for 35 years (he's probably had his arms around every woman in St. Paul), found his house surrounded by heavily armed police the day before the convention started.
Guns drawn, they said they were looking for bombs, but what they really seemed interested in was rousting the documentary photographers from New York who were staying in Whalen's house, and who made themselves unpopular with New York police for documenting abuses during the 2004 GOP convention in New York City.
Whalen and his guests were detained for three hours, and he spent an hour in handcuffs, in his own back yard, wondering how this could happen in the United States. He was not charged or arrested. Nor has he received an apology.
"People have told me for years that this kind of thing happened in Northern Ireland and South Africa, but I never expected it in St. Paul," he said before Wednesday's hearing. "I've always tried to persuade people to move to St. Paul, because the police are nicer. This was totally absurd, for this to happen here."
He is suing the city.
Most people in St. Paul hate criticizing the cops. My friends in blue are not above criticism. But neither were they the real problem. They did what they were told, and as they were told. The problem was not them. It was the policies.
A lot of ink has been shed
More than 800 people were arrested, including dozens of journalists. A lot of ink has been shed about the arrests of journalists, but if you want good pictures of the bang-bang, you might get banged yourself. The trouble isn't that the journalists were treated like citizens. The problem is how citizens -- for whom the press serves as proxy -- were treated.
That was a disgrace, especially when hundreds were arrested the last day of the convention for the crime of over-staying their permit. Which ranks right up with letting your parking meter expire. Write 'em a ticket, Clancy. Case closed.
Instead, they were pushed and chased, with gas, concussion grenades, surrounded and arrested.
"I was shocked," another familiar St. Paulite, Chuck Lentz, told the hearing. "Our city got hijacked, our city leaders, too."
Lentz, a lawyer, plays accordion in a band called the Eddies that shows up all over town at civic events. I bumped into him during the convention at the Coney Island. He was mad then, and still is mad: "The scope of the militarization was staggeringly over the top."
St. Paul cops every day have to sort out the bad guys from the citizenry. They do a good job of it, usually. But during the GOP convention, with everyone from Homeland Security to the RNC organizers pulling the strings and calling some of the shots, the police forgot what city they were in. Either that, or St. Paul was not St. Paul for several days in September.
'Completely different'
"St. Paul loves its cops and the people love their city," said Dave Thune, the feisty councilman who called Wednesday's hearing on his own. "That's what made it disturbing. All of a sudden, they came to their city and it was completely different. I don't think it's the cops' fault at all. This whole thing has really been hard on the cops."
Thune, like many people, was stunned by the militarization of the city. He knew that cadres of police in riot gear would be in position, if needed. But he did not expect the overwhelming show of force that seemed intended to make people think twice about opening their yaps in their own town.
Patty Guerrero, a 70-year-old grandmother and well-known peace activist, was given a ride by a friendly St. Paul cop when she fell far behind one convention protest march. But when she gathered with her friends later, she discovered that the faster walkers got a different view of events, and they were angry over what they saw as intimidation of peaceful protesters.
"They were scared that our country is becoming a 'fear' country instead of a free country," Guerrero said. "We can't let the city forget."
