Folks, I dont know about you but I am incredibly happy that this $700billion travesty failed to pass Congress today. I cant thing of many people that wanted it to pass, but MIGAWD….how can anyone even support it? Bernanke already poured $650Billion into this mess, if that didnt help, what makes anyone think $700Billion would?? Not only that, the stock market opened LOWER even though the news on Capitol Hill was that the Bill looked good for passing! I have to ask: is this crisis for REAL???? And someone tell me please why we should bail out financial institutions who deliberately TAKE RISKS??????
Im not a financial whiz but I think I’ve found someone who has a good working knowledge of the issues and he puts it in plain English. His name is Karl Denninger and Im now a subscriber! take a look:
HERE is Reinhardt’s site. Im telling you, if you want to get the inside scoop from someone who has their finger on the pulse of this mess, dont pass this one by.
I think we should all get on the phone or email or write our Congresspersons and THANK THEM for being brave enough to stand up to Bernanke and Bush and Paulsen and saying NO to this Gawdawful nightmare of legislation. I hope they continue to say NO! Perhaps if they see we approve of this latest vote, they will? (I know, Im a dreamer)….
I dont know if Reinhardt knows Im proselytizing for him or not, but it would SO make my day if he quoted this on his site:
Just minutes ago, Congress passed the PROTECT Our Children Act.
It was a long, hard campaign… one that started with committed PROTECT members like you and then grew to over half a million Americans after it was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show. Many Washington insiders said we would never win. We wanted you to be the first to know that we did!
As our campaign showed America, law enforcement now knows how to locate and stop hundreds of thousands of criminals who assault children and traffic in child pornography. But despite years of empty rhetoric from politicians, less than 2% of these cases are even being investigated. That begins to change today, with the passage of the PROTECT Our Children Act.
In the coming days, we’ll share many of the details about this landmark bill and how it was passed. But we didn’t want you to wait to hear this news. Please take time today to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together, because this never would have happened without you!

WAHOO!!!! YAY EVERYONE, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!! Its nice that in these dark times our kids get a ray of sunshine 🙂
I never really got over my affinity for cartoons, and as my girls grew up, I watched cartoons in the 80’s with them, including TRANSFORMERS, POKEMON, SAILOR MOON, HE MAN, SHE RA, VOLTRON, COUNT DUCKULA, DUCK TAILS, HEATHCLIFF, SPACEGHOST, CAPTAIN CAVEMAN, WACKY RACES, INSPECTOR GADGET, AND DAVID THE GNOME….there’s more Im sure, but my memory isnt what it used to be.
Saturday mornings were always sacrosanct but there came a time when I realized that saturday cartoons werent what they used to be.
UNTIL:
The TICK.
BAR NONE, the best cartoon Ive seen in decades. funny, irreverent, sophisticated, and not afraid to take a pratfall. The TICK went there with ya ya know? (well, he went there with me, anyway….)
so, because I appreciate Genius, I give you, the TICK:
this one is a fan creation but its BOOM BABY BOOM AWESOME!
so…..when you want to scream DOWN WITH GOVERNMENT BABY, remember to tip your hat to the EMBWBAM,
the first mainstream anarchist. SURF’S UP SPACE PONIES! IM MAKING GRAVY WITHOUT THE LUMPS AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
Say Hello to my good friend “Bob!” He and his Papal representative, Ivan Stang, stopped by to see me on their way to the Church’s annual X-day celebration. Of course, they did this several months in advance, seeing as how they were going the long way around from Texas to California, and across the nation to New York. They may have even missed the celebration, I don’t know. I was in the hospital recovering from smoke inhalation due to close proximity with “Bob’s” pipe. How he can smoke that stuff and smile is beyond me, but then, he is the Sultan of Slack…
I did get a postcard from Ivan, it had some weird symbols all over it, and some gibberish about how he was right after all, Aliens DID come during the first X-day, but that they successfully mass-hypnotized the world’s population so that they could play havoc with the world’s monetary systems without interference. He said that the true believers would recognize each other by this symbol:
and by this codeword: FNORD
Who knows….maybe he smoked what was in “Bob’s” pipe eh?
The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.
Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.
Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.
It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell in Mississippi and Louisiana, several active-duty units were pulled from various posts and mobilized to those areas.
But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.
…
They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.
Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life” to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or area.
The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.
“It’s a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that they’re fielding. They’ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the first to get it.”
The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets.
Is a combat team really necessary on home soil???? say, do you suppose the Government is preparing for the Civil Unrest that comes with knowing our Government just sold us up the river? Pack your warmest clothes, I hear there’s a new home waiting in Alaska…….(Gee, the New Siberia…)
First of all, I realize this item is actually over a year old, but that very fact, and the lack of alarm in our media (whom we trust to keep us informed) highlights even more the true extent of our corrupt Administration’s power grab, and the complicity of major media in allowing such an obscene power grab to fly under the radar.
What has me all riled up you say? Bush’s changes to the “Continuity Plan” which transfers “formal authority away from the Department of Homeland Security to the White House.” The Washington Post did run an article on this issue but chose to put it on PAGE 12, apparently thinking it wasn’t serious enough to warrant front page status.
Under an executive order dating to the Reagan administration, responsibility for coordinating, implementing and exercising such plans was originally charged to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and later DHS, the Congressional Research Service noted in a 2005 report on a pending DHS reorganization.
The new directive gives the job of coordinating policy to the president’s assistant for homeland security and counterterrorism — Frances Fragos Townsend, who will assume the title of national continuity coordinator — in consultation with Bush’s national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, with the support of the White House’s Homeland Security Council staff. Townsend is to produce an implementation plan within 90 days. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will continue to coordinate operations and activities, the directive said.
Bush gives himself total power and authority, using the events of September 11 to declare a National Emergency, and setting the stage for the implementation of Martial Law, and a complete breakdown of Democracy. The actual directive can be found here.
Since then, Bush has enacted 8 more directives, the most recent found here.
World Net Daily’s Jerome Corsi has been vocally alarmed for quite some time and was interviewed on C-SPAN regarding this issue:
He rightly brings up the lack of interest by major media, and as we inch closer to November, with its possible transfer of power back to the Democrats, I would not be at all surprised, given the economic wobble, if we dont see Bush preempt the Democratic process by retaining power due to a declaration of a National Emergency.
I first heard of this group thru Radar Magazine (link), and it seems that the Magazine has monitored Anonymous’ doings for quite some time. For those who dont know, Anonymous is an underground organization committed to toppling the farce that is Scientology. Scientology is rabid in its pursuit of its critics, using tactics that would be right at home in the CIA. With its deep pockets, it initiates expensive legal actions most people are unable to defend themselves against. It also has no problem falling back on the tried and true methods of intimidation and blackmail, as this young man found out:
A little more than a week ago, Jonathan (he asked his last name not be repeated again), who’d joined a Facebook group called “I Support Anonymous” and attended their protests, answered a knock at the door of his parents’ L.A.-area home, where he lives while attending community college. A mustachioed man in a suit and claiming to be from the law firm of Latham and Watkins was holding a “file” and asked to speak to Jonathan’s parents by name, he recently told Radar. He told the mystery man his parents weren’t available and offered to take the package for them. “No,” the man said. “I can’t legally give this to you.” Jonathan shrugged and told him to come back later. That’s when things got weird.
Later a friend of the family came over and said Mr. Mustachio was hanging out in front of the house and had asked her if she was Jonathan’s mom. When she said no, he waited until Jonathan’s parents did arrive, then handed them the file and said, “This is a courtesy letter. No charges are being filed yet. But your son may be involved in terrorist activity.” And then he left. Inside the package was a letter accusing Jonathan of terrorism and a DVD copy of the YouTube video, he says.
“I’m a mix between flattered and frightened that they’d consider me such a threat,” Jonathan says. Though he’s been labeled a leader in the group, he insists, “I’m not a hacker, a techie, or anything. I went to a couple protests, and I organized an after-party after one, where we all ate Indian food. That’s it.”
A Church of Scientology spokesperson says the group does employ various lawyers across the country to deal with what she tells Radar are “acts of violence, terrorism, and death threats,” but adds, “It is not true that lawyers from any firm representing the Church have visited anyone. If anyone is suggesting otherwise, that is false.”
Nevertheless, Jonathan said the DVD of Scientologists’ video and the accusation that their son was a terrorist concerned his parents. “[They] told me that while they understood what I was doing, it’s not worth it to have psychos threatening our family. And I agreed.” He’s publicly declared he’s done with Anonymous. “I can’t. I live at home, and these creepy guys started knocking on our door and handing my parents letters … Anyway, I’m not protesting anymore.
Paulette Cooper can also attest to the consequences of doing battle with Scientology:
It began in 1968 when she wrote a story, “The Scandal of Scientology,” for Queen, a British magazine. Despite receiving a death threat, Cooper decided to write a book on the topic. “I was naive and had no idea of the horrors that lay in store for me,” she writes.
A series of lawsuits by the Church of Scientology convinced the publisher of Cooper’s book to issue an apology and a recall, but the forces she had unleashed were not satisfied. First, Cooper discovered her phone was being tapped. Then, her cousin was assaulted by a man who, posing as a flower-deliveryman, gained entrance to her apartment and pulled a pistol on her. (The gun jammed.) When Cooper moved to a more secure building, someone sent 300 of her neighbors an anonymous letter claiming she was a prostitute and had molested a child.
It got worse.
Cooper was arrested and charged with mailing an anonymous bomb threat to a Scientology spokesman. In front of a grand jury, the prosecutor revealed that her fingerprints were on the letter. Certain she was going to prison for a crime she hadn’t committed, Cooper contemplated suicide. Her fiancée left her. She hired a private investigator—none other than wiretapping suspect Anthony Pellicano—who proved useless. Her weight dwindled to 83 pounds.
Her luck finally turned after a Scottish professor who was writing a book on Scientology provided prosecutors with information about “fair game”—the Church doctrine that encourages Scientologists to attack their enemies by any means. Cooper also persuaded a neurologist to inject her with truth serum and interrogate her to prove she was telling the truth. The government dropped its case.
In 1977, an FBI raid on Scientology offices revealed the truth: Cooper was the target of something code-named “Operation Freakout,” a scheme intended to land her in jail or in a mental ward. She concluded that a man who had stayed in her apartment prior to her arrest had been a Scientologist who had stolen paper with her fingerprints on it to forge the bomb threat.
“I sometimes get discouraged because Scientology gets so much assistance and publicity from people like Tom Cruise and John Travolta, she writes. “As for me, I often wish I had never even heard the word ‘Scientology.’ But given the same situation, I would still do it all over again. I would not have been capable of remaining quiet, because I learned too many scary things and talked to too many people who were being hurt.”
Anonymous has taken a few hits, namely an attempt by Scientology to have Anonymous videos removed from You Tube.
The “Message to Scientology” video that launched Anonymous’ attacks against the Church of Scientology was removed by YouTube yesterday due to a “terms of use violation.”
The video—which featured an ominous computer-generated voice warning the church that “Anonymous has … decided that your organization should be destroyed” against a creepy backdrop of gathering clouds—sparked a wide-ranging assault on Scientology, from denial-of-service-attacks on the church’s website to a worldwide protest at nearly 100 Scientology offices last weekend that drew roughly 6,000 people. It had been viewed more than 2.3 million times before it was removed.
The Anonymous attacks themselves were motivated by the church’s successful effort to force YouTube to remove the video of Tom Cruise going crazy Scientology-style that was briefly posted last month. That video is available here.
According to Anonymous members, “Message to Scientology” was removed after another video, also purporting to be from Anonymous, was posted and quickly removed yesterday that included a threat to blow up a Scientology building in Los Angeles.
“As of right now we have contacted a lawyer and are going to do everything we can to get the video put back up,” says an Anonymous member via e-mail. “The bomb threat video was not us—in fact, we were the ones that got it taken down. A mass movement by Anon online got the video flagged numerous times, taken down, and Anonymous itself even contacted the FBI via their website and phoned them.”
Scientology critics speculate that the threat may have been designed to make Anonymous appear to be violent and to convince YouTube to take down the original message.
A spokeswoman for the FBI’s Los Angeles field office confirmed to Radar that the agency had been notified about the video. “The only thing I can tell you is that we are aware of the threat and we are looking into the matter,” she said.
Anonymous has responded with a new video warning Google, which owns YouTube, that “if you are working in conjunction with the church, we must remind you of your founding principle: Do no evil.”
Anonymous members have reposted the original video numerous times; it can be viewed (for now) here.
The Church of Scientology and YouTube did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
UPDATE:
The Anonymous video has been reinstated by YouTube after inquiries from Radar, and can be seen here. In a statement, a YouTube spokeswpman said, “We are committed to preserving YouTube as an important platform for expression of all kinds, while also ensuring that the site remains a safe environment for our users. In this case, we have reinstated a video that, upon review, does not violate our terms of service.”
Anonymous lost no time in posting the video proof of their victory:
Anonymous may or may not have been behind the recent hacking of Sarah Palin’s email and Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly’s website, but they are certainly high on the list of suspects:
As of this morning, Gawker’s post from yesterday, “Exclusive: Sarah Palin’s Personal Emails,” had 750,000 pageviews. The post went up at 1:03 p.m. “Pareene is about to get PAID,” a Gawker staff member said via IM yesterday, of that post’s author, Alex Pareene, just after the post went live. (A majority of the staff there receive money based on traffic volume.) True! He was about to get paid. Also, funnily enough, a post called “Group Posts E-Mail Hacked From Palin Account” had gone up on Wired at 12:50 p.m. yesterday.
Wired’s second paragraph went like this: “The internet griefers known as Anonymous took credit for the intrusion, and screenshots of e-mail messages and photos belonging to the Alaska governor have been published by WikiLeaks.”
Oh. So WikiLeaks had gotten and posted the information that was now being posted everywhere.
But who got the attention? Gawker, naturally. Wired was acting like a tired old news organization. They were treating the hack as something to be reported on—not as information to be broadcast.
Wired even wrote, “WikiLeaks said in a press release sent to reporters that Anonymous gained access to Palin’s e-mail account around midnight Tuesday.” What is all this about giving credit to where one was given information?
Wired.com, by 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, had received about 315,000 pageviews to its item.
This was not the first time Gawker did this packaging brilliantly. (To be fair! We should note that there are many Gawker exclusives that are both exclusive and exciting!)
There was, of course, the great Scientology episode of January, 2008. The post, of a video of Tom Cruise, has received nearly 3 million pageviews since. Wrote owner-editor Nick Denton in the post, “This video’s been passed around privately by reporters and writers investigating Cruise’s ties with Scientology. Most reporters have been wary of taking on the Scientologists, because they have a history of both litigation, and the harassment of critics.”
Denton noted that some other websites had taken the video down, including, apparently, Radar’s, and wrote that “Gawker is now hosting a copy of the video; it’s newsworthy; and we will not be removing it.”
The New York Observer was already hosting it—they’d posted it the day before this particular Gawker post. (Update: There had been a previous Gawker post, on the Sunday prior, using YouTube as well. The second time, Gawker didn’t make that mistake.) Unfortunately, the Observer doesn’t have a dedicated video player of their own—so when YouTube took it down, away it went as well
But they didn’t take it down. (The Observer post received 8,632 pageviews, most of them coming the day after it was posted.) This was also the case for Radar, which kept the post up and re-embedded video as soon as another version was available.
The Cruise video was exclusive to no one—I’d been emailed links and passwords to the site that hosted the video by the same source that provided it to Gawker. “It would be irresponsible for me not to share this with everyone on the internet…” wrote the source to me and some others on January 13.
Then, on January 15, that source shipped a DVD of the videos to Gawker Media. They got the Cruise video up online that morning.
So where Gawker won was in its packaging of the news, and in being gung-ho about working with the source (which is where other outlets failed!) and in its promotion of itself as standing up to the legal machine of Scientology. (Which, at the time of posting, of course it hadn’t yet, because, uh, it hadn’t been posted yet.)
And again, with the Palin emails, Gawker is painting itself as a victim of repressive attacks—including, possibly, by law enforcement—to give the appearance of a lone media outlet standing strong against outcry. Which, you know, it is! They are indeed receiving outcry.
In a free society we have to tolerate these scummy websites that rebroadcast Sarah Palin’s hacked emails, but why can’t we go down to the publisher’s house and put him in cuffs is exactly what Bill O’Reilly wanted to know last night—as posted on Gawker. Because media commentators, such as Bill O’Reilly, aren’t that smart, they conflate the people with the “exclusive” with the hackers that obtained the documents.
But they sure do feed Gawker’s traffic while peddling outrage.
“It’s the nature of the media business to take profits from the suffering of others,” wrote Gawker night editor Ryan Tate last night, writing about how the Wall Street Journal is making the most of the financial crisis. Well, it is. But it’s far more sophisticated to make profits from trumpeting your own suffering.
In any event, this is getting very VERY interesting….
I received an email today regarding the new enhanced Drivers Licenses available in NY. The sender considers it “mass chipping,” although the OFFICIAL explanation is that it will deter illegals and increase efficiency….
Decide for yourself:
I have mixed feelings about this….part of me appreciates the efficiency of this item, but another part of me detests the BIG BROTHER overtones…..and another thing…will possessing this enhanced ID bring new problems (ie folks having their ID’s stolen to create false ID’s?) Perhaps its the intermediary step before actual chip implantation at birth….who knows….I do think that illegals are a huge problem but I will address my feelings on that in another post.
Ive seen some uncanny “coincidences” within the last week, namely, predictions by a man called “Reinhardt” who has boldly called a spade a friggin spade in the murky, stinky world of securities, stocks, and religion!
WAIT! Religion you say???? YES, RELIGION. Because, if you think about it, what is the strongest motivating force on this Earth? Even stronger than our greed? Our single-minded march toward the supremacy of our theology (and the inverse march toward oblivion of competing theologies)
You might think this is schoolyard one-upmanship, but you’d be wrong. Make no mistake, there is a theological/ideological WAR being waged behind the scenes, and now, money is being appropriated from public sources, in a very public manner, to fund this final Armageddon.
Im posting some posts by Reinhardt, taken from a Google financial group, which introduce you to lengths to which the principal players are willing to go:
“Crash is in September.”
yup, and the negative news that will move the market downward should occur
Sept 15: this organization below.. runs the show
[link to www.legatus.org]
the money laundering occurs just prior to the pilgrimage to rome and the checks are written during the pilgrimage and the checks clear by September 14 and the negative news leaks out (something along the lines of “insider trading on a mass scale at a major brokerage) then they start crossing the “t”s and dotting the “i”s on Sarbanes-Oxley II
SOX II will certainly protect the working class’ nest-eggs fur sure!
next: This is how you debase a securities market:

I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg, and I believe Reinhardt has the inside straight. Folks, as I said earlier, do yourselves a favor and stockpile water, canned goods, dry goods and other necessities. you wont be sorry. Even if nothing happens and this is the 21st century version of the Y2K goofup, at the very least you will have provided your family with extra food and water. How bad can that be?
by the way, the best place to find info on Reinhardt (aside from his intermittent website that is) is on “Above Top Secret.com……”
Its ALL Blarney!!
