The American Mainstream Media's Silence on Sibel Edmonds

Daniel Ellsberg (who released the Pentagon papers) wonders would the media have printed the Pentagon Papers today. The media and the government believe it is more important to protect criminals than it is to protect millions of people those criminals have endangered. Do they sleep easy at night knowing that American nuclear secrets have been sold by backstabbing criminals to our Israeli and Turkish allies? The nuclear espionage ring consisted of Israel, Turkey, and Pakistan. Through them into the black market American nuclear technology spread far and wide.

What does Congressman Henry Waxman decide is more important than this? After he promised to hold hearings on the matter he has retracted his promise. He is going to hold hearings on baseball instead because kids need "good role models." He obviously isn't one of those "good role models," breaking his promises, and defending corruption.

Here's one of the best sources that is keeping coverage of this matter:

Thoughtcrime

" The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act" is working it's way through the Senate after being passed in the house. If it passes we will be having McCarthy era hearings of suspected terrorist. Terrorist could be an antiwar demonstrator or anyone who cries over their lost Constitutional rights . Free speech on the internet maybe about to be curtailed. Here is the bill if your interested in looking at it.

Andrew Napolitano Explains How Bush Redefined "Financial Institution" To Mean Anything and other Constitutional Violating Measures

The Federal Government redefined "Financial Institution" to mean anything so they could investigate our mail at the post office, bank records, lawyer's files, and your doctors. Andrew Napolitano explains the many attacks upon our freedom by the US Government.

Ron Paul Interview

Here is Ron Paul's Official Campaign Website. He does weekly columns on his House Website, speaking his mind.

WorldnetDaily grills Ron Paul on his positions. Ron Paul wants to pull our troops out Iraq and stop threatening Iran. He points out that the number one reason for terrorism is occupation from a foreign power.Wolfowitz even connected the dots between our military bases in Saudi Arabia, resulting in Muslime outrage and 9/11. He wanted to move the bases out of Muslim holy land and into Iraq which we are in the process of doing. Ron Paul is strongly against further consolidation of the United States, Canada and Mexico in what would become the North American Community. It would be the next step to an European Union style government. The European Union was the successor to something called the European Economic Community.

He wants to take away the incentives from people to come here illegally and end birthright citizenship. Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com draws interesting parallels between the American Empire's immigration policy and the Roman Empire's. The Romans relied on Mercenaries just like the United States. We have over 100,000 taxpayer paid private contractors in Iraq right now.

Microsoft Plans to Open Office in Canada, Making It Easier to Hire Cheaper Foreign Labor

Microsoft believes that the worlds brightest employees are mostly found in other countries other than the United States. The truth of the matter is they want low cost workers. Microsoft will "open a software development office in Vancouver later this year." If they can't bring more cheap labor in they will open up shop where they can. There is a difference between the H1-B Visa and Canadian Permanent residency that has attracted Microsoft up North.

Technology companies want cheap labor:

About 58 percent of the $360-million worth of software that flowed out of India last year ended up in the U.S. That tiny drop hardly makes a splash in a $92.8-billion market. But several trends may propel exports beyond the $1-billion mark as early as 1997. The single most important factor, Pawar asserts, is the support of the Indian government, which has eased tariffs and restrictions, subsidized numerous software technology parks and export zones, and doled out five-year tax exemptions to software exporters. "The opening of the Indian economy is acting as a very big catalyst," Pawar says.

It certainly seems to have attracted the attention of large multinational firms eager to reduce both the cost of the software they need and the amount they build in-house. The primary cost of software is labor. Indian programmers come so cheap-$125 per unit of software versus $925 for an American developer, according to Jones-that some companies fly an entire team to the U.S. to work on a project. More than half of India's software exports come from such "body shopping," although tightened U.S. visa restrictions are stanching this flow.

Another factor, Pawar observes, is a growing trust in the quality of overseas project management. "In the past two years, American companies have become far more comfortable with the offshore concept," he says. This is a result in part of success stories from leaders like Citicorp, which develops banking systems in Bombay, and Motorola, which has a top-rated team of more than 150 programmers in Bangalore building software for its Iridium satellite network.

It is interesting this has gone on for years.

The Real Divide Between Parties: Nationalist vs Globalist

I'm amazed how most of the Presidential Candidates from both political parties are the same after you peel back the persona they project to rally their respective bases to vote for them. Democrats may openly hate on Bush but advocate aggression (leave all options on the table) towards nations who are not a threat to the United States. What did Kosovo ever do to the United States? Why did Bill Clinton ally himself with the Kosovo Liberation Army or KLA, knowing full well it is a terrorist group? Our government even gave these violent thugs training. If the KLA needed anything they could call Wesley Clark on his mobile phone.

Andrew Longman, accurately points out the real fault line in America:
[T]he 2008 election will be fought out between globalists on one hand (Romney, Giuliani, McCain, Thompson, Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Biden and Dodd) and American sovereign parties on the other (Tancredo, Hunter, Paul and Kucinich). It will be a mistake and a mirage for Americans to believe any longer in the Democrat-Republican political theatre, which has been mass packaged by the media for our consumption. These Grammy-winning musicals only exist to play the masses off one another so the globalists, who have dictated the entire top money-tiers of both parties, may forge ahead with their plan to obliterate American sovereignty and crush the peoples beneath their plans for high profits and the global police state. To again gain the privilege of actually having the liberal-conservative contest, populists on both sides must throw out the tops of both parties. What happens in political reality today is a dumb show of convenience, that the puppeteers might install that most beautiful globalist who gets chosen "best actor."

Hope says that real people still vote in the primaries. We, The People, must make a vow not to be influenced by the big-money TV and standard media that seek to install yet another globalist actor candidate. We must hang tough for the real thing. And we must give our money to the Tancredos and the Kuciniches – both of whom are pariahs of their money-elite leadership.

Illegal Immigration, Slave Economy, Guest Worker Program, Republican and Democrat Politicians: The Immorality Of It All

Slavery was vital to the global economy in the 18th and 19th Centuries:

The vast majority of enslaved Africans employed in plantation agriculture were field hands. Even on plantations, however, they worked in other capacities. Some were domestics and worked as butlers, waiters, maids, seamstresses, and launderers. Others were assigned as carriage drivers, hostlers, and stable boys. Artisans—carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, millers, coopers, spinners, and weavers—were also employed as part of plantation labor forces.

Enslaved Africans also worked in urban areas. Upward of ten percent of the enslaved African population in the United States lived in cities. Charleston, Richmond, Savannah, Mobile, New York, Philadelphia, and New Orleans all had sizable slave populations. In the southern cities they totaled approximately a third of the population.

The range of slave occupations in cities was vast. Domestic servants dominated, but there were carpenters, fishermen, coopers, draymen, sailors, masons, bricklayers, blacksmiths, bakers, tailors, peddlers, painters, and porters. Although most worked directly for their owners, others were hired out to work as skilled laborers on plantations, on public works projects, and in industrial enterprises. A small percentage hired themselves out and paid their owners a percentage of their earnings.

Each plantation economy was part of a larger national and international political economy. The cotton plantation economy, for instance, is generally seen as part of the regional economy of the American South. By the 1830s, "cotton was king" indeed in the South. It was also king in the United States, which was competing for economic leadership in the global political economy. Plantation-grown cotton was the foundation of the antebellum southern economy.

But the American financial and shipping industries were also dependent on slave-produced cotton. So was the British textile industry. Cotton was not shipped directly to Europe from the South. Rather, it was shipped to New York and then transshipped to England and other centers of cotton manufacturing in the United States and Europe.

As the cotton plantation economy expanded throughout the southern region, banks and financial houses in New York supplied the loan capital and/or investment capital to purchase land and slaves.

Recruited as an inexpensive source of labor, enslaved Africans in the United States also became important economic and political capital in the American political economy. Enslaved Africans were legally a form of property—a commodity. Individually and collectively, they were frequently used as collateral in all kinds of business transactions. They were also traded for other kinds of goods and services.

Today the same type of people who practiced slavery want a guest worker program and illegal immigrants. However when they have to pay them minimum wage their support vanishes:
For example, the Florida sugar cane industry began importing Caribbean workers to hand cut cane in 1943 and maintained that cane harvesting could not be mechanized because unique muck soils would bog down machines. But after a lawsuit was filed in the early 1990s alleging that workers guaranteed $5.30 an hour and required to cut one ton of cane per hour should be paid $5.30 a ton, rather than the $3.70 a ton they were paid, cane companies mechanized the harvest within three years.
Politicians like President Bush, Senator John McCain, Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Lindsay Graham want to continue using poor people from other countries as slaves, wanting to continue the treatment of them as second class citizens. Politicians and Businesses don't care about these human beings. People like Bush, McCain, Fred Thompson, Ted Kennedy should help these people instead of legalizing their exploitation.

This is pathetic:
Affidavits allege that Insolia preferred to hire illegal immigrants because they were desperate for jobs and willing to put up with atrocious working conditions. He even helped them secure forged identity papers, referring them to vendors who would produce the documents for about $120. As for the working conditions, workers were routinely denied overtime pay, docked 15 minutes for every minute late and fined for talking on the job or spending more than two minutes in the plant's "squalid" rest rooms. Sure, but at least the vests and backpacks were made in America!
I would be ashamed if I was one of the Americans eagar to continue this horrid abuse like Bush, McCain and Ted Kennedy.

Senators Blame Talk Radio for the Hostility of Americans Towards Them

Republican Senators are blaming talk radio for the anger and threatening messages (ex. Richard Burr received a message, saying the caller knows where he lives) they are the receiving from their constituents. They are playing the race card, hinting immigration opponents are racist. Many won't openly criticize talk radio out of fear but they share Senator Trent Lott's sentiments. It is clear these Senators are confronting an issue as divisive as its ancestor slavery was.

In their own words:

Senator Lindsay Graham from South Carolina said, “there’s racism in this debate. Nobody likes to talk about it, but a very small percentage of people involved in this debate really have racial and bigoted remarks. The tone that we create around these debates, whether it be rhetoric in a union hall or rhetoric on talk radio, it can take people who are on the fence and push them over emotionally.” Graham said, "we've been down this road before -- 'no Catholics,' 'no Jews,' 'Irish need not apply.'"

Senator Trent Lott from Mississippi said, “talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

Senator Lindsay Graham forgets that most Americans are upset at illegal immigration regardless of the color of the skin the immigrant has. He is as disconnected from morality as were the plantation owners of his home state in the slavery era, using slaves as cheap labor, doing jobs Americans wouldn't do for slave wages. Everyone knows how racist Senator Trent Lott is. I personally wouldn't be surprised if things turned violent like in the old Roman Republic or like the American Civil War between the abolitionist (nativist) and slaveholders (neoslaveholders).

Bush Administration and Giuliani Accused of Misleading New Yorkers, Concerning the Health Risk of Being Exposed to the Debris of the Twin Towers

New Yorkers exposed to the debris of the Twin Towers have developed respiratory ailments/lung damage from the dust and may develop cancer from the toxins released. The Bush Administration and Giuliani are implicated in lying to New Yorkers about the Air Quality:
The American College of Preventive Medicine, meanwhile, has expressed fears that deadly, malignant mesothelioma could develop in those exposed. Scores of rescue workers - 40 per cent of whom have no medical insurance - have already developed rare blood-cell cancers and thousands of firefighters have been treated for serious respiratory problems.

"The 9/11 health crisis is an emergency on a national scale, and it requires a federal response," says Carolyn Maloney, Democratic congresswoman from New York, who adds that citizens from all 50 states in the Union as well as foreigners are affected.

The scandal is that the Bush administration knew almost immediately of the dangers of the toxic New York air, but lied. The public could breathe free, secure in the knowledge that "it is not being exposed to excessive levels of asbestos or other harmful substances", according to Christine Todd Whitman, the former New Jersey governor appointed by Bush to lead the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in January 2001. Speaking seven days after the attacks, she said: "I am glad to reassure the people of New York . . . that their air is safe to breathe." The then mayor, Rudy Giuliani, chimed in to say that air quality was "safe and acceptable". Both Whitman and Giuliani, subsequent investigations suggest, were under pressure from the White House to provide these reassurances in order to keep Wall Street operating.

In the words of O'Clery, "we were systematically misled". Dr Cate Jenkins, a senior EPA scientist who has kept her job despite accusing Whitman and others of lying, says the EPA knew all along that the air hundreds of thousands were breathing was potentially as "caustic and corrosive as Drano", the best-known American drain declogger.

Dr Marjorie Clarke - an environmental scientist at the City University of New York - like-wise contradicted the Bush administration when she warned a Senate committee that, far from it being the case that the air in New York was safe to breathe, the attacks had "produced uncontrolled emissions equivalent to dozens of asbestos factories, incinerators and crematoria, as well as a volcano". These "created an unpre cedented quantity and combination of dozens of toxic and carcinogenic substances" and were "dispersed over a large area for several months", including parts of New Jersey. "US Geological Survey aerial maps in late September 2001," she found, "show asbestos contamination in Manhattan miles from the WTC."

Christine Whitman, the former EPA Chief was questioned by Congress. Whitman tried to deflect attacks, claiming the terrorist should be blamed and not the Government, but Democrat Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York pointed out that she was a liar.

Vice President Richard Cheney's Take on Presidential Authority.

Richard Cheney believes that it is the Presidents prerogative to decide how war is conducted without any restraints from National Laws or Treaties such as the Geneva convention. Human Rights groups took Cheney to task when he said in an interview that "a dunk in the water" for terrorism suspects during questioning in order to save American lives was a "no-brainer". President Bush and Cheney defended themselves saying that the US doesn't commit torture and that he wasn't advocating torture.

George W. Bush and Richard Cheney subscribe to the Unitary Executive Theory. They have been able to expand the Executive Branch's power, virtually ending the Posse Comitatus Act, so the President can control and use the United States Military against Americans in the United States as he or she sees fit. Governors are fighting back hard to regain the exclusive power of controlling the National Guard in their home states.
