9/11/2001 radio broadcast: "We were just sitting here watching all the smoke pouring up from
number 7 … we really couldn’t see much damage on it … I turned in time to see what looked like a skyscraper implosion, it looked like it had been done by a demolition crew … that’s number 1,
number 2, and now number 7 that have come down from this explosion and folks just simply can’t believe it. … I just never for the life of me imagined that these huge buildings would just fall, and that’s what happened, they just crumbled."

One of the biggest earthquakes in recorded history has struck Christchurch and the South Island this morning.
The massive 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit before dawn, causing widespread damage and cutting power.
The quake was centred 30km west of Christchurch and 33m underground. It hit at 4.35am and there have been many reports of damage.

"We are looking to be able to help Yemen increase the capacity not only of the government but of their military to counter the al Qaeda threat that exists," Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters.
He said the aid — including security, development and humanitarian assistance — is being evaluated as part of a fiscal 2012 budget request that President Barack Obama is to send to the U.S. Congress on Feb. 7.
Webmaster’s Commentary:
Memo to Pentagon Spokesman Whitman; in light of the fact that the US is going to be dealing with yet another tinpot dictator in the form of Yemen’s President Selah, how the blazes are you going to be able to assure that alleged US humanitarian and development aid will actually get to the people of Yemen?!?
There has to be a better way to guard Saudi Arabia’s oil fields from any possible insurgency (which is why the US government is doing this), but I can guarantee you, what you are proposing is not it.
Yemen’s government is universally characterized as one of the most corrupt in the region, with a leadership only interested in lining its own pockets.
The poverty, illiteracy, and lack of true infrastructure here makes insurgency look very attractive to some people who, largely, have nothing left to lose. And when peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable.
And in terms of "military aid" (read: increased US drone attacks, possibly from Saudi bases), every time the US kills innocent women, kids, non-combatants, and the medically fragile elderly who couldn’t run fast enough,the US turns those left standing into the waiting embrace of the insurgents.
We have seen the outcomes of such policies played out in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and this approach does not, and cannot work. So now, does the US government, the Pentagon, and the State Department want to import a counter-productive approach to insurgency in Yemen?!?
Somehow, the phrase "this is a really bad idea" doesn’t even come close to describing the stupidity and futility using such an approach in Yemen.

"The Obama administration has been criticized by those on the left for its continuation of many Bush-era policies on terrorism. But one area where it differs from the previous administration is in its recruiting of spies and interrogators."
Here’s just one example of a job offer I received, and I get so many strange ones like this, here in the District of Criminals from a recruiter working on a contract to fill a position with the FBI [a law enforcement group created by executive signing order, not by Congress, I might add], an offer that was pre-Sunstein by a few months. This recruiter probably has no idea what she is really recruiting for in this regard, just trying to fill a client request…

The so-called Middle East peace talks were stillborn and doomed. Jerusalem cannot be the eternal capital of the illegal State of Israel.
The Israeli enemy is facing a lot of challenges, the American-Israeli scheme has failed and the one representing the Resistance has won although the conflict didn’t reach its end yet.

On August 29th, Lord Stirling issued a scary report warning that "The North Atlantic Current is Gone". We were hesitant to post the article before checking with sources to confirm it’s validity. After such research, many of the claims that Lord Stirling makes do indeed have some scientific evidence. However, his claims that the North Atlantic Current is "gone" and that the cause is primarily the Gulf oil disaster and subsequent dispersant spraying are slightly premature. Despite these assumptions, Stirling’s report has enough support to cause alarm:

The European Union said Thursday it expects China to support tough sanctions against Iran over its suspected nuclear program and not let its companies move into the Middle Eastern country’s market as European companies pull out.
The EU’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, told reporters in Beijing that during talks with Chinese Foreign Minister, Yang Jiechi, she emphasized the importance of China’s support for the international sanctions on Iran.
"My message was meant to be very clear, that we would expect we wouldn’t see ‘backfill,’ but rather that they would see that these are important sanctions," Ashton said.
Webmaster’s Commentary:
Memo to EU Foreign Policy Chief Ashton: remember Tony Soprano’s pithy, stringent line, spoken when he had decided against something happening, "fuggetaboutit"?!?
That is precisely the practical response the Chinese government will give the EU to any talk about observing EU and UN sanctions against Iran.
Iran, in case you have had a momentary bout of selective memory, is China’s number-one energy partner, and that is not about to change any time soon.
And what, precisely, is the EU and the US able to do about that Chinese thumbing their noses at observing the sanctions?!? One big, fat, hairy, nothing.

“Israel today is a very strange country. There is a large group of people who insist on calling themselves Zionists, even though the Jews have a state. Even more strangely, they pursue a policy that seems to be leading to the annexation of a territory primarily populated by Palestinians. From what I gather, it would be close to impossible to run such a state, because Jews and Palestinians have lived in great enmity with each other for decades, so I don’t understand why Zionists want to have such a state.”

Even though I was left out of those mentioned, it gives me great pleasure to see that my Associate, Carlos Latuff, is the target of a new zionist attack. This is the best publicity any artist/activist can ever hope for. The article is written by a former commando at the ADL, Adam Levick. Although he no longer is on their payroll, their ideology is deeply implanted in his way of ‘thinking’.
Carlos himself was thrilled at the publicity and will be putting this up on his Twitter Page…

Today’s peace talks between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority were productive, if only modestly so. And while most people might be looking at whether this can possibly be used as a springboard for a genuine peace in the Levant, a number of US officials are looking to make this, as with everything else, all about Iran.
Webmaster’s Commentary:
Because Iran is a signatory to the NNPT, Iran’s nuclear program is totally under the watchful eye of the IAEA.
To date, no material has been found to have been diverted, nor enriched to bomb grade material, only to the point necessary for production of medical isotopes.
Israel, on the other hand, has nuclear weapons, refuses to sign the NNPT, and and refuses to allow inspection of its nuclear sites.
The nuclear "problem child" here is not Iran, but Israel.

Just two days ago Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was publicly condemning the killing of five election workers by militants in the Herat Province, insisting that the security of such workers must be assured at all cost in the name of a “democratic future.” She insisted that those responsible “must be brought to justice.”
The attitude from the US was quite a bit different today, when NATO warplanes in the northern Takhar Province attacked a convoy of aid workers themselves, killing 10 of them and wounding a parliamentary candidate.
Webmaster’s Commentary:
Apparently, NATO is pathologically incapable of not assassinating innocent Afghans!

Officials from the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) voluntarily “took oyster fishermen out on the reefs off the Pass Christian Harbor on Wednesday to give them a preview of what to expect from the upcoming oyster season,” according to Biloxi’s Sun Herald.
What did they find? “An abundance of empty oyster shells… DMR officials dredged for oysters and pulled up catches with about 80 to 90 percent of the oysters dead,” the paper reported.

Oil giant BP is telling lawmakers that if it isn’t allowed to get new offshore drilling permits in the Gulf, it will not be able to afford to pay for the damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the New York Times reported in its Friday edition.
The Times reports the UK-based oil giant is on the warpath against a drilling reform bill passed by the House earlier this summer that would effectively bar BP from getting new drilling permits in the US.
Webmaster’s Commentary:
In a normal world, where representatives of the people of the country actually determined what when on in the country, this threat would be characterized as "blackmail"; however, because BP has certain "male attributes" they are able to squeeze very forcibly in both the White House and Congress, I would almost bet that BP will get those new offshore drilling permits.

Silwan is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem just outside of the old city walls. The streets of the neighborhood are narrow and steep as most of the houses lie on either side of a deep gorge. The people and the geography of Silwan are unforgiving. Various settler organizations have been taking over Silwan house by house for years with the full assistance and permission of the Israeli goverenment. The leading settler group, City of David, is using archeology as a means of disposing hundreds of Palestinian families their homes. The State of Israel has decided that archeology rubble is more important than Palestinian homes and has regularly demolished houses in the name of protecting archeology ruin.

The other day, I came across an article that said, while individuals may be moving their money out of equities, they have been moving into bond funds – and in a big way.
It’s called jumping from the frying fan into the fire.
Based on my experience as a co-founder of a mutual fund group, I can tell you that if there is one sure thing in this world, it’s that when investors rush en masse into an investment category, it is invariably at almost exactly the wrong time to do so. Is that the case with today’s rush into bonds?

Jakarta, Indonesia — A volcano erupted again in Indonesia early Friday in northern Sumatra, sending hundreds of villagers fleeing as it unleashed tremors and spewed powerful bursts of hot ash and debris.
"Constant tremors were felt since yesterday and, between 4:38 and 4:51 a.m. this morning, the volcano erupted, shooting thick, hot ash 3,000 meters (1.9 miles) to the sky," said Surono, the head of the Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation. "This is the biggest one, compared to the last two."
Surono goes by one name, as many Indonesians do.
The villagers in Karo province had ignored warnings and returned to their homes after the volcano showed no activity since Monday. The fresh eruption forced them back into temporary shelters.
The Sinabung mountain erupted for the first time in four centuries last Sunday, forcing the evacuation of about 30,000 villagers who live within 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) of the volcano’s crater.

God did not create the universe, Stephen Hawking revealed yesterday. In the flurry of publicity preceding his new book, The Grand Design, to be published next week, he does some serious dissing of the Almighty, declaring him/her/it irrelevant. The point is, he says, that our universe followed inevitably from the laws of nature. But, we might ask, where did they come from?
Webmaster’s Commentary:
"Law" is a ridiculous anthropomorphism for "behavior." The use of that phrase "law" reveals the persistent bias in our society to blur the line between properties of objects and the behavior of sentience. There is no "law" of gravity; there is the behavior of objects of mass relative to the curvature of space. There is no "law" limiting speed to sub-light velocity; that limit is an epiphenomenon of the convergence of time and energy at light speed. The use of the term "law" is a relic from an age where all things in nature were presumed to be the result of a decision or choice by the presumed gods, themselves inventions of tribal rulers to avoid having to admit, "I have no @#$%ing idea why the rain falls!" Even the adherence to the theory of the Big Bang, completely incompatible with Einstein’s subsequent Theory of Relativity, is desperately clung to because of the religious bias towards a moment of supreme creation.

The show seeks to be strictly academic, and shuns political or religious pronouncements. But the robust response of many young Muslims suggests a thirst for cultural pride against a contemporary backdrop of conflict and suspicion between the West and Muslim countries.
“Originally, it was aimed at the Western public,’’ said Salim Al-Hassani, organizer of the British exhibition and an emeritus professor of mechanical engineering at Manchester University. “But we found that when people from the Muslim world, when they see it, they get fired up, especially the young people who are in search of identity.’’

Those who try to make the word ‘terrorism’ a synonym of the word ‘Islam’ try to brainwash us these days by the phrase "I am a Muslim, I am against terrorism", which many Arabic-language TV stations have started to use during the month of Ramadan, when TV viewing becomes a dominant pastime in the Arab world. This phrase is coined neither by Muslims nor by the real enemies of terrorism; and the objective of funding the intensive broadcasting of this phrase in Ramadan is not exonerating Islam of an accusation levelled against it by Zionists and their allies among the neo-cons in the wake of 9/11.

If Barack Obama were to marshal America’s vast scientific and strategic resources behind a new Manhattan Project, he might reasonably hope to reinvent the global energy landscape and sketch an end to our dependence on fossil fuels within three to five years.
Dr Rubbia says a tonne of the silvery metal – named after the Norse god of thunder, who also gave us Thor’s day or Thursday – produces as much energy as 200 tonnes of uranium, or 3,500,000 tonnes of coal. A mere fistful would light London for a week.
Thorium eats its own hazardous waste. It can even scavenge the plutonium left by uranium reactors, acting as an eco-cleaner. "It’s the Big One," said Kirk Sorensen, a former NASA rocket engineer and now chief nuclear technologist at Teledyne Brown Engineering.
"Once you start looking more closely, it blows your mind away. You can run civilisation on thorium for hundreds of thousands of years, and it’s essentially free. You don’t have to deal with uranium cartels," he said.

Last week, the ongoing, joint investigation by ProPublica, Frontline and the New Orleans Times-Picayune revealed that after Hurricane Katrina an order circulated among New Orleans police authorizing officers to shoot looters [1]. The following day, we reported that federal agents had begun an inquiry [2] into the allegations.
To date, sixteen current and former New Orleans police officers have been charged with crimes related to post-Katrina shootings. And there are nine separate civil rights investigations of the department underway.

Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy. However, it has come almost exclusively to refer to any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning. To conspire means "to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end. "The term "conspiracy theory" is frequently used by scholars and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at stealing power, money, or freedom, from "the people".

As for Adam at subvertednation, I think he is just as manufactured as Adam Gadahn and Youssef Al Khattab. Subvertednation.net is registered through domains by proxy, a known cutout for intelligence operations, and is only slightly more than a year old. His site may well be used to justify draconian “hate” controls to protect Israel on the net.

Another piece of evidence consists of documents which President Bush referenced as in his 2003 State of the Union Speech. According to Bush, these documents proved that Iraq was buying tons of uranium oxide, called "Yellow Cake" from Niger.
Since Israel had bombed Iraq’s nuclear power plant years before, it was claimed that the only reason Saddam would have for buying uranium oxide was to build bombs.

While the number of U.S. troops in Iraq will be reduced from a high of 165,000, there will still be 50,000 troops left behind, some 75,000 contractors, five huge "enduring bases" and an Embassy the size of Vatican City.

today the Iraq war was declared over by Barack Obama. As his troops return home, Iraqis are marginally freer than in 2003, and considerably less secure. Two million remain abroad as refugees from seven years of anarchy, with another 2 million internally displaced. Ironically, almost all Iraqi Christians have had to flee. Under western rule, production of oil – Iraq’s staple product – is still below its pre-invasion level, and homes enjoy fewer hours of electricity. This is dreadful.

After not snaring time with the president, Gov. Rick Perry has turned down an offer to meet with Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and a top adviser to President Barack Obama on border issues.
Perry was one of the first people the president saw when he stepped from Air Force One during an Austin visit on Aug. 9. On that occasion, Perry hand-delivered a letter to Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, warning about the "dire threat" from drug violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Webmaster’s Commentary:
Perry didn’t want the "consolation prize" of face time with Napolitano, and I frankly don’t blame him.
She remains consistently clueless about how drug violence is negatively impacting ordinary citizens living in the border states, and the alleged "unprecedented resources" the Obama administration has provided has not at all provided any significant respite from the problem.

As direct talks between Israeli and Palestinian leadership commence, the Obama administration finds itself in perhaps the most delicate diplomatic position it has yet assumed on the international stage.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas set to participate in bilateral meetings at the White House on Wednesday. In advance of those talks, Obama has taken on a posture that experts say could result in anything from (not wholly unexpected) failure to the most fruitful set of such discussions to date.
Webmaster’s Commentary:
These talks are, ultimately, doomed to failure for several huge reasons, and chief among them are:
1. Hamas is not represented at all, and this is a huge stumbling block to peace.
2. Israel is not really interested in peace; it is only interested in acquiring territory, by any means necessary.

US negotiators do not believe Palestinian militants Hamas will join direct Middle East peace talks set to resume this week, US envoy George Mitchell said Tuesday.
"We do not expect Hamas to play a role in this immediate process," Mitchell told journalists Tuesday amid a flurry of diplomatic activity in Washington to breathe fresh impetus into the negotiations after a 20-month hiatus.
But he added the United States would "welcome the full participation by Hamas and all relevant parties once they comply with the basic requirements of democracy and non-violence that are, of course, a prerequisite to engage in these serious types of discussions."
Webmaster’s Commentary:
Translation: Israel is hell-bent for these talks with Abbas to fail, and therefore will not allow Hamas any representation here.
And about that statement "…the United States would "welcome the full participation by Hamas and all relevant parties once they comply with the basic requirements of democracy and non-violence that are, of course, a prerequisite to engage in these serious types of discussions"; the election which put Hamas in control was characterized as "free and fair"by former US President Jimmy Carter. It was just not the political faction that Israel wanted to see in control.
And as to complying "…with the basic requirements of democracy and non-violence,,,": when has Israel ever truly complied with those values toward the Palestinians?!?

America, and especially California, are in dire economic straits. Their day of fiscal reckoning is coming and it’s not going to be pretty. Consequently, it is has been suggested that something dramatic will have to happen for Congress to pass any form of relief because the American public was bitterly against the TARP and the Stimulus bill. I’m not advocating another massive bailout for the states, but it seems that if something meaningful is not done soon to restore economic viability to the United States, it will shatter into a million pieces.

Then what finances the deficit? Don’t look for an answer from either side of The Great Stimulus Debate. They haven’t a clue despite the fact that the answer is obvious.
The Federal Reserve will monetize the federal government deficit. The result will be high inflation, possibly hyper-inflation and high unemployment simultaneously.
The no-think economics establishment has no policy response for economic armageddon, assuming they are even capable of recognizing it.
Economists who have spent their professional lives rationalizing “globalism” as good for America have no idea of the disaster that they have wrought.

The bill opens opens the door to even more federal control over the everyday lives of American citizens. Since they are already engaging in organic raw milk raids without the increased powers of S. 510, the question is going to be how many more guns-drawn raids are we to expect after the bill becomes law? It gets worse. Not only does the bill grant the FDA more power, Michael R. Taylor was named deputy commissioner for foods at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2010. Michael R. Taylor also worked for Monsanto, was a lobbyist for them, according to Wikipedia. And all of this activity is happening at a time when a flourishing self-sufficiency movement is taking hold in this country, at a time when demand for fresh, local, and organic food is at an all time high.

U.S. wasted billions in rebuilding Iraq –Hundreds of infrastructure projects are incomplete or abandoned 29 Aug 2010 As the U.S. draws down in Iraq, it is leaving behind hundreds of abandoned or incomplete projects. More than $5 billion in American taxpayer funds has been wasted — more than 10 percent of the some $50 billion the U.S. has spent on reconstruction in Iraq, according to audits from a U.S. watchdog agency. That amount is likely an underestimate, based on an analysis of more than 300 reports by auditors with the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction. And it does not take into account security costs, which have run almost 17 percent for some projects. [Notice the GOP blocks spending for any *domestic* infrastructure projects, but has no problem with over-funding the pseudo-rebuild in Iraq and Afghanistan? That's because only corporaterrorists and mercenaries benefit from such projects - not the people in those nations. See also: The Obusha AfPak Money Pit By Lori Price.]

Condemning migrant killings in Mexico, UN rights chief calls for urgent action
High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay
27 August 2010 – The United Nations human rights chief today strongly condemned the killing of 72 migrants in northern Mexico and called on the authorities to take urgent steps to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
The Mexican Navy discovered a site on 24 August that contained 72 corpses, including 14 women, who had apparently been executed by members of organized crime.
The victims were reported to be undocumented migrants from Central and South America, according to a news release from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
“I am deeply shocked about these killings, which highlight the critical situation of migrants in the country,” said High Commissioner Navi Pillay.
She called on the authorities “to conduct as a matter of urgency a thorough, transparent and independent investigation into these killings, and to preserve the dignity of the victims by ensuring their identification and return to their families.”
The High Commissioner also urged them to prosecute and punish those responsible and adopt preventive measures.
“Ensuring that there is no impunity is crucial to avoid a repetition of such a heinous crime,” she stated.
An estimated 400,000 migrants transit through Mexico each year, according to the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, who added that most of them are victims of trafficking by transnational gang networks also involved in smuggling and drugs.
Ms. Pillay called on the authorities to take all necessary steps to protect the life and integrity of migrants, particularly women and children, in line with Mexico’s international obligations.

BO shares some choice words with us before hitting the links in Martha’s Vineyard
Obama released a press statement before leaving for vacation on Thursday. We are all waiting with baited breath for his return to Washington. In the mean time we can roll our eyes as we read his words of wisdom. The Bamster is complaining because the Corporations in this Country (or anyone for that matter) can now spend money on advertisements to influence elections. Wow, I am shocked! Wasn’t it something like $600 million dollars that Obama raised during his election season and the majority of the money couldn’t be documented where it came from? What about the hundreds of millions of dollars that the Unions gave to the Democrats in the past few years to try and influence the voters? I think Obama is a sore loser because the Supreme Court dumped on his parade.
ZERO’s press release:
 As the political season heats up, Americans are already being inundated with the usual phone calls, mailings, and TV ads from campaigns all across the country. But this summer, they’re also seeing a flood of attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names. We don’t know who’s behind these ads and we don’t know who’s paying for them..
The reason this is happening is because of a decision by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United case – a decision that now allows big corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence our elections. They can buy millions of dollars worth of TV ads – and worst of all, they don’t even have to reveal who is actually paying for them. You don’t know if it’s a foreign-controlled corporation. You don’t know if it’s BP. You don’t know if it’s a big insurance company or a Wall Street Bank. A group can hide behind a phony name like “Citizens for a Better Future,” even if a more accurate name would be “Corporations for Weaker Oversight.”
[...]
Well, we cannot allow the corporate takeover of our democracy. So we’re going to continue to fight for reform and transparency. And I urge all of you to take up the same fight. Let’s challenge every elected official who benefits from these ads to defend this practice or join us in stopping it.
Comment by American Grand Jury:
Mr. BO, I hope you are better at playing golf than you are at giving press releases — this one is surely a load of crapola!

FROM WND’S JERUSALEM BUREAU
 While Israel is hoping for a peaceful resolution to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the Jewish state is also preparing for “a time of war,” declared a Knesset member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party.
“We are prepared for all risks,” said Likud Knesset Member Danny Danon. “And I think our enemies should know that even though we are speaking of peace, we are getting ready for a time of war, as well.”
Danon, the deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament, was speaking in a radio interview with WND senior reporter Aaron Klein, who hosts an investigative program on New York’s WABC 770 AM Radio.
Danon hinted that Israel may take action if the world does not stop the Iranian nuclear threat, recalling Israel’s lone strike on Iraq’s nuclear reactor in 1981.
Stated Danon: “We are ready for all scenarios, and we are able to defend our civilian population. I cannot tell you how long we can wait more. But we prefer to wait and see if the international bodies are acting, or [whether] it will be only the burden of Israel, like it was in the early ’80s, when the great leader, Menachem Begin, [made] the great decision to bomb the nuclear reactor in Iraq.”
Despite his assertion that Jerusalem is preparing to act alone, Danon stressed that Iran is an international concern. He called on the Western world to “take action” against Iran’s suspected illicit nuclear program.
international world and not only Israel. And I expect the administration in the White House to wake up as soon as possible.”
Danon said he is concerned the international community has not been forceful enough in its policies toward Iran.
“What we see today is that the Russians, the Americans, the Europeans all say they are worried about Iran becoming nuclear, but in fact Iran is working full ahead, and it’s only a matter of months or a year before they will be reaching the point of no return,” he said.
Danon stated that any future military confrontation against Iran “should be an international effort.”
“We don’t want this to be a war of Jews against Muslims. It should be a war of Western civilization [against] Iran,” he said.
“The threat of Iran becoming nuclear is a threat for the people who live in the U.S., Europe and Israel.” he said. “No one can guarantee that Iran will use its power only against Israel.”
Comment by American Grand Jury:
I believe we have so many major problems brewing in the United States that people easily forget that a “major” storm is also brewing in the Mideast and it will affect the entire world if the lid blows off.
I don’t how the people of Israel (such a small country) cope. Can you imagine what it is like knowing that everyday your mortal enemy, Iran, is trying to build a bomb that could wipe your country off the face of the map?

News from Ohio, Crawford County
Republican dinner on Saturday
 Just thought I would share with you a little bit of what we heard at last night’s Republican dinner here in Crawford County Ohio. John Kasich (running for Gov. of Ohio ) was the keynote speaker. Also present were many politicians, most notably, Bob Latta, our U.S. Congressman. Mike and I walked up to Bob and thanked him for his conservative voting record and voiced our concern about what is going on in Washington. He made some funny botox remarks about Pelosi and then agreed with us that we have every reason to be concerned.
As there were others waiting to talk to him, our time was brief. Although what took place later that evening should make chills run up and down everyone’s spine to hear. He had asked to speak a few words at the end of the night and went up on stage. He proceeded to tell the crowd how bad things really are in Washington. He said he only had a few minutes to speak, but if he could tell us even half of what the agenda is and what this administration plans to do to our country we couldn’t sleep at night. He said he only gets about 4- 4 1/2 hours of sleep a night and worries constantly about what they want to do to this country. He said that Pelosi, Reid and Obama have to be stopped.
He said, “You know, you always hear this is the most important election blah blah blah, but I am telling you people…whatever you have to do to wake people up you need to do! We have got to vote them out in 2010 or with the things they have planned for this country we won’t even be a country by 2020! Ten years. You could see the look of almost desperation on his face.
He talked about the huge debt. He talked about how the CBO gets their “figures”. He sits on the finance committee of some sort and listens to the ramblings of Geitner and Bernanke. He said “If you think that the Chinese won’t hold this over us with all our debt you have another thought coming. Our children will have nothing. I don’t care if you have to go out door to door, tell at least 10 people who will then tell 10 people. We have to do this. This is the single most important election ever in the history of this country. The change that Obama promised us is NOT the change people thought he meant.”
source: I received this by email from Eva in New York. I do not know who the author is that wrote the letter.
Comment by American Grand Jury:
I believe every word in this letter. We are looking at some perilous times if we don’t get the people out to vote. I realize that the 2010 election isn’t the end. It is only a start but as mentioned in the letter: “This is the single most important election ever in the history of this country.”

Memo to the ruling class media: We are not ignorant or stupid. We’ve not forgotten Jeremiah Wright. It’s not that we don’t “know” what faith Obama subscribes to — it’s more that we don’t believe him. Or you. Sorry. Not buying.
Besides, sometimes we just like to tweak you with our poll answers — and use any poll as an excuse to “vote against Obama” in any way, shape, or form.
***
Frankly, it has been equal parts comedy and insult to watch the ruling-class media haplessly wrestle with the reality that millions of Americans believe Obama to be a Muslim. They are so clueless.
As if we needed any more proof — this is simply another positive dose that the ruling-class media and the country are divided by a huge gulf of philosophy, reality, and experiences. And they are just beside themselves that a country that was concerned that Obama’s (Christian?) pastor is a crazy nut in the spring and summer of 2008 can totally forget about all that in the summer of 2010 and call Obama a Muslim.
They so miss the point. We have forgotten none of that. If fact, apparently, now more Americans are deciding to look into all of this and process it in light of Obama’s actions.
So allow me to help the media out on this thorny, confusing issue:
We know you claim him to be a Christian. We know Obama has at times claimed to be a Christian. We know Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity Church claims to be some kind of Christian denomination. We simply doubt it. And the more we watch all of you, the less we are inclined to believe any of it.
(And by “we,” I mean folks who would respond “Muslim” or “not sure” to your poll questions.)
We also know Obama’s father was a Muslim. We know his stepfather was a Muslim. We know that under Sharia Law, he is a Muslim, and that much of the Muslim world regards him as a Muslim. We know his mother was an atheist. We know Obama sent a bureaucrat out to claim that NASA’s top mission was Muslim outreach. We know he skipped the Boy Scouts’ 100th Anniversary bash. We know he’s had a couple Freudian slips pertaining to his faith. We know he has called the Islamic call to prayer the most beautiful sound on earth.
We know that in light of all of this, some sycophantic White House spokesperson has the gall to say how “obvious” Obama’s Christianity is. Depends on what the meaning of “obvious” is, I guess.
There’s more. So much more:
We know Jeremiah Wright rejects America’s founding principles — which are consistent with what we call Christianity — and many of us believe our founding principles were divinely inspired. Moreover, we know that Obama is on board with Wright on this — at least to the point of claiming that our Constitution is flawed in how it grants individual rights and liberty. We happen to think that rights Obama wants to curtail come from our Creator.
We know Obama has appointed proud and unabashed Marxists into his government. We happen to know that Marxism is by definition anti-Christian. We know he has confiscated the wealth of others to redistribute to his union thug friends under false pretenses. We know he turned his back on Iranian protesters in favor of an Islamic regime. We know he publicly defers to folks like Chávez and Saudi royalty more than he does Texas and Arkansas governors. On and on we could go here.
So what is so blamed obvious?
The only thing obvious here is that if Obama is a Christian, he is absolutely awful at walking out his faith. Or — as might be said at any basic tent revival — he done “backslid.” (Does anyone in the media have any idea what either of those phrases mean?)
In other words, we are paying attention to what is real and to what you are reporting — and the two aren’t jiving.

 The ‘Brotherhood of Darkness’ by Stanley Monteith – Sunday Editorial, Part I
In my younger days I fit the mold of an aggressive businessman who was always trying to figure a “better way.” I was always successful in business until a dose of greed ran its course. Don’t get me wrong, I never knowingly cheated anyone nor would I do so today. But the chance at some easy money was too tempting to pass up. I got involved with a big real estate deal and lost. I lost big, about 30 years of building an estate. Looking back, it was the greatest lesson I ever learned. I experienced life on the downside and came out a better person. I have God and my family to thank for keeping me alive and well in spite of it all. I am sure many of you have been through similar circumstances, an unexpected death in the family, a severe financial loss, something that is a life changing event. If so, you know what I am talking about when I say, “it costs money, grief and time to get an education.”
My little introduction paragraph has little to do with the theme of Stanley Monteith’s book. Journalism, in theory, is predicated on researching and reporting on the who, what, when, where, why and how. As a student of history I have always been fascinated by the “why” part of the equation. One thing I see missing from many news stories of today is the why. Why did Barack Obama get elected comes to mind? Okay, we will leave that for another day — back to Stanley Monteith’s book. The bottom line is he answers the question, “why is evil rampant and prevalent in our society?” He didn’t use the “rampant and prevalent” words in his book, but he clearly defines the facts, figures and evidence behind the question. Monteith documented facts and evidence that go back hundreds of years.
Monteith based his story on telling us who is exactly to blame for the turmoil, greed and corruption we see in the world today. In his conclusion he surmised, ‘the clues are too many and they all add up to the same thing.’ If you read the book you will know what I am talking about. He used ‘The Murder on the Orient Express’ novel as an analogy to his conclusion.
Any spiritual Christian or Jew knows the answer to the question before even reading the book. Of course, Satan is the power and force behind all evil. What is fascinating about Monteith’s book is the way in which he defined Satan as the “secretive” force behind the powerful men and institutions that push tirelessly to converge our nations into a one-world government.
The ‘Brotherhood of Darkness’ asks which group is the culprit?
Is it the Trilateral Commission, International Bankers, Central Banks, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, the Club of Rome, Communism, Marxism, Fascism, Socialism, Secular Humanism, Tax-exempt Foundations, the Illuminati, Jesuits, Masons or Freemasons, the New Age, the Order of the Quest, Rosicrucians, Skull and Bones, the Theosophical Society, UFO believers which he names in his book? I can think of a few candidates myself: Radical Islam, Anti-Defamation League, ACLU, Al Quada, The Federal Reserve, Global Warming, Cap and Trade, Obamacare, International Monetary Fund, United Nations — just to add to the list. There are many more.
Stanley Monteith says it just like Inspector Poirot, ‘there are too many clues that point to many suspects.’ Their conclusion, ‘THEY ARE ALL GUILTY.’
What does Monteith imply by saying they are all guilty? There has to be a common thread that runs through each of these organizations. There is, and simply stated, “powerful people did and continue to worship and work for the Devil.” Now before you get all sideways with me, you have to read the book. The evidence is overwhelming and convincing.
I believe the parts I enjoyed most about the book were the summations on how the occult and secret societies play a major role in all of this. Secret societies have been around for thousands of years. Most secret societies are based on the occult. Once you become a 32nd Degree Mason you basically bow down and give your soul to the Devil. Through that worship you gain Satan’s power. This is documented in the book. The Masons are a secret society within a society, ‘an outer organization concealing an inner brotherhood of the elect..’ Most Masons who are in the outer tiers of membership don’t even know what the true secret is unless part of the “inner” circle.
Albert Pike (Father of modern-day Masonry):
Masonry.. conceals it secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses its false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who truly deserve to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it.
Pike admits: there is an intentional effort to deceive those who enter the Craft. Why are they misled? Because if Initiates understood the true implications of the Masonic ceremonies, most of them would flee in terror..
The Rites of Masonry raises a corner of the veil, even in the Degree of the Apprentice; for it declares that Masonry is a worship.
The Word, or secret knowledge was incorporated into the symbolism of their rites. What is the secret? When an Initiate learns the mystery of his Craft he has access to power.
By now you have figured out that Albert Pike is talking about the worship of Satan. From Satan these “inner circle” of Masons derive their power.
I will leave you with this list of past and present powerful men. This is just some of the names that are named in the book. These men to a large degree have all been involved in the occult. You be the judge as to why our country is so messed up today.
These are wealthy and powerful individuals that have shaped our history:
Lord Cecil Rhodes (started the modern day version of the ‘One-World-Government’), Lord Milner (brought movement to the United States), George Bernard Shaw, Helena Blavatsky, Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Chairman Mao, Margaret Sanger, Winston Churchill (32nd Degree Mason), Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, Benjamin Disraeli, Henry Wallace, Woodrow Wilson, (Father of the Federal Reserve) Franklin D. Roosevelt (32nd Degree Mason, Father of Welfare), Colonel Mandell House (prime advisor to Wilson and Roosevelt), Harry Truman (33rd Degree Mason, helped found the United Nations, brought communism to China), David Rockefeller, Henry Ford (33rd Degree Mason), Nikita Khrushchev, Lyndon Johnson, (2nd Father of Welfare), Robert McNamara, Albert Pike (Father of modern-day Masonry)..
Many of our past and present Governors, Legislators, Judges, Supreme Court Judges are Freemasons..
Modern day Rhodes scholars (as in Cecil Rhodes):
Bill Clinton, General Wesley Clark, Strobe Talbot, Senator Bill Bradley, Dean Rusk, thousands more…
Past and present CFR members
David Rockefeller, Nelson Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Breziniski (the Trilateral Commission – 666 logo), many more..
*** really bad characer here, very powerful:
Maurice Strong (Father of the Earth “green” movement – Club of Rome – United Nations), Mikhail Gorbachev (partner with Maurice Strong)..
“Skull and Bones” presence
The Bush Family, Whitney Family, Phelps Family, Bundy Family, Lord Family, Rockefeller Family, Harriman Family, Weyerhauser Family, Perkins Family, Taft Family, Pillsbury Family, and hundreds more..
Many Bonesmen are members of the CFR.. many Bonesman belong to a small clique that covertly rule the world..
Part II, The Changing of the Guard:
Part I is what I call the “Old Guard.” Here we summarized through use of the ‘Brotherhood of Darkness’ book the powerful people that had a hand in changing our society into the socialistic and welfare state that we see today. The information age is now here and things are happening at a faster, more diabolical rate. We now have the Internet gurus influencing our minds, the Alinsky types of Soros, Strong and Obama driving the ship — on top of that we have the explosion in the Devil’s religion, Islam, heading our way. We will talk about the “Changing of the Guard” next week.
 Until then.. thanks for stopping by,

 Greetings Everyone,
The Usurper is on vacation at Martha’s Vineyard — no news there except the slime-ball is getting glowing reviews from his Elite press-corp. It is simply amazing to me how these journal-libs fawn over such a piece of work.
Anyway, I simply had to take a break today from my normal AGJ postings other than to update you on the FBI Letter.
My answer to freedom was to read the “Brotherhood of Darkness” by Stanley Monteith – WOW, what an eyeopener. My understanding of politics, the ruling class and the world will never be the same again. I know in my heart that “real” evil permeates from these powerful men and institutions but to read Monteith’s documented evidence was incredible.
For those of you that never heard of this book (short, 69 pages long) you should Google it. I found a free copy in .PDF format at this website. You should take the time to read the book. “The truth will set you free.”
Tomorrow, I plan on doing a review of the book on Sunday’s editorial.
Something that just came to mind. Many of you are aware of the fact that Kennedy was assassinated because he threatened to expose the connection between “secret societies” and the very powerful men in this country who intend to drive the United States toward a one-world government. What you probably don’t know is what force secretly powers the “secret societies?”
Stay tuned — I will have more details for you tomorrow.
Blessings,
Bob Campbell
