Time for Obama to Shut Up, Put Up

As I write this there are no less than 100 of my 200 or so co-workers drooling on themselves mesmerized by the television as Barack Obama gives his inauguration speech as the 44th President of the United States. Countless others are doing the same at their desks via CNN.com or any of the other shill online news outlets.

When the smoke clears later this afternoon, Bush and Cheney will have made their long overdue exit, and we will finally get to see exactly what kind of "change" we're in for. Now-President Obama certainly has delievered enough empty promises of change, and has seemingly fleeced the better part of the entire globe. For our nation - and the world as a whole - hopefully he meant it, and will indeed deliver the kind of change people thought they were voting for.

Sadly, it's probably not going to resemble such a scenario one bit. After all, let's not forget that presidents are puppets - controlled by the Bilderbergers. And as I've covered in some detail in previous posts, Obama has surrounded himself with some frightening characters.

"Change" We've Been - and Will Be - Haunted By

In either the days before or right after Barack Obama's election victory, I recall of one his public relation hacks running around the cable "news" shows proclaiming that his administration would not be comprised of "retreads." I'm still trying to find the exact quote(s), but in the meantime, the sickening and endless proclamations of "change" are plenty proof positive that this is all a colossal hoax.

There is no question that any incoming president needs a strong, experienced supporting cast. I have no issue at all with the selection of Joe Biden as Vice President. I did think that Hillary Clinton - especially considering the covert meeting with her and Barack at the 2008 Bilderberg gathering - was undoubtedly the selection here, but Biden is certainly a viable choice. And for that matter, Hillary is strong pick for Secretary of State.

http://www.infowars.com/?p=2560

And as more of the upcoming administration plays itself out, it becomes clearer exactly why Hillary so easily gave up VP for State Department. I've written before I thought there was no way. Evidently there was some wheeling and dealing however in the form of a strong trade off, as this is rapidly becoming the third Clinton administration.

As for some of Obama's other new minions of "change," there's no better place to start than with the hated Neo-Cons.

Robert Gates has been tabbed to stay on as Defense Secretary. But how can you argue with this? Keep the appointee of a a Neo-Con administration that is perhaps the least popular in U.S. history and has orchestrated two completely disastrous wars. Yes, he's probably not as bad as Rumsfeld, and that's exactly the key point. He helps retain a certain modicum of anti-Muslim, Middle East crusade rhetoric under a guise of lesser of evils.

The 'You Absolutely Must Be Joking' award of Obama's appointments can gp to none other than the appointment of Tim Geitner - New York Federal Reserve head - as Treasury Secretary. It's not enough that almost all of our current economic problems stem from the fact that we have a [Non] Federal [with absolutely no] Reserve[s]. Let's go and appoint the governor of its biggest branch to be our next Henry Paulson. Geitner is also a disciple of former Clintonians Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/11/25/opinion/main4632754.shtml

Following closely behind Geitner is good old Larry Summers himself - elitist Harvard bigwig and former Treasury Secretary under Clinton.

Former Federal Reserve chair Paul Volcker - who during the Carter regime helped to completely dismantle the economy - is right there, too, as chief economic advisor.

http://www.deepjournal.com/p/7/a/en/1782.html

Tom Daschele gets the nod as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The former South Dakota senator is admittedly a mixed bag. On the one hand, he was one of the targets of the infamous government-run anthrax attacks of late 2001, no doubt signaling he was out of favor with the elite. However, there are sickening aspects to his resume. Not the least of which are his 2006 endorsement of warrantless spying, and the fact that his wife, Linda Hall, is a top Washington lobbyist - and was acting administrator of the FAA during the Clinton years.

Finally, and perhaps most notorious, is Chief of Staff nominee Rahm Emanuel - who happens to be Obama's first appointment of any kind. A former Clinton White House advisor, he is nothing but an Israeli loyalist, anti-Islamic thug of the worst variety. It sickens me to even think or write about him or his father, Benjamin. Just google them.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.conspiracy/browse_thread/thread/1ae488d5cff26a28?pli=1

The web is weaved even far more intricately, but I frankly don't have the stomach to go on. Research it for yourself.

This isn't change, it's a reunion. All cleverly masked by horrifyingly messianic-like support from the world, and absolutely no consideration for facts.

Utter the word change - as long as you don't look like the previous 43 presidents - and there can be no doubt that you in fact stand for change.

Hillary Not Done Yet?

Over the past couple of days there have been MSM reports that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has met with President-elect Obama, and will meet with also-ran John McCain in the coming days. These reports also contend that the junior senator from New York is in line to become Secretary of State.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5156459.ece

I am extremely hesitant to get behind this information, as I was completely taken aback in August when Joe Biden was named Vice Presidential candidate ahead of Hillary. I still can't figure out what went on behind the scenes to remove Hillary from the White House picture. Especially considering her Bilderberg meeting with Barack on the opening night of the global elite rendezvous.

http://www.infowars.com/?p=2560

Then again, retreads from the Clinton administration seem to be the order of the day for Obama - despite the fact he initially said there would be no one trotted back out from the Washington graveyard. Just take a look at Rahm Emanuel - a former Clinton White House lemming that couldn't be tied tighter to the Israeli government and disgusting Zionist agendas.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/obamas-first-appointment-is-son-of-zionist-terrorist.html

My gut was obviously quite wrong on the VP tip. However, I refuse to believe now that Hillary is going to find herself a spot in the Obama administration.

Could "Bailout" Be Code for "World War III"?

According to Paul Watson at Prison Planet, Chinese mainstream news outlets today reported that the RAND Corporation recently presented a proposal to the Pentagon in which it lobbied for war with a major foreign power in an attempt to stimulate the American economy. This on the heels of recent proclamations from Joe Biden, Colin Powell, Michael Chertoff, and others that Barack Obama will face a major crisis immediately after taking office, as well as the U.S.-Israeli sneak attack on Russia through Georgia back in August.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/rand-lobbies-pentagon-start-war-to-save-us-economy.html

Allegedly these foreign media sources - there was a French language report as well - are claiming that RAND suggested the $700 billion dollars that has been earmarked to bailout the Wall Street crooks be used instead to finance a new war - thereby reinvigorating the U.S. markets and economy.

Among the nations considered possible U.S. targets: China, Russia, Iran and even Japan. This is very disturbing when taken in combination with the recent fear mongering about a post-inauguration crisis. Don't forget, Russia-obsessed maniac Zbigniew Brzezinski is always lurking in the shadows of the Obama camp, and the shift from the Neo-Con Middle East focus to a Central Asia/Eurasia/Asia Proper campaign is already quite evident.

http://911trutheddie.blogspot.com/2008/10/talibanal-qaeda-split-ominous-sign-for.html

Paul Watson also pointed out that the RAND corporation has deep ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex as well as connections with the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations. Current directors of RAND include Frank Charles Carlucci III, former Defense Secretary and Deputy Director of the CIA, Ronald L. Olson, Council on Foreign Relations member and former Secretary of Labor, and Carl Bildt, top Bilderberg member and former Swedish Prime Minister.

That's some pretty upstanding company, huh?

Notable as well is that as of late this afternoon, there was no English-speaking media story or broadcast about these developments. No surprise there.

Who knows at this point what's going on here, but it's certainly pretty damn scary. Rest assured Prison Planet will be keeping a close eye on any developments.

Taliban/al-Qaeda "Split." Ominous Sign for Pakistan?

Sources today are reporting that there are on going talks between the Taliban, and the regimes of Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan - aimed at ending conflict in Central Asia and allegedly signaling a severing of ties between the Taliban and al-CIA-da.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/10/06/afghan.saudi.talks/index.html

Well, that sounds all warm and fuzzy, but give us a break. The Saudis, the Afghans, and al-Qaeda (such as it exists) are all pawns of U.S. Intelligence and the global elite. They'll do what they're told, when they're told and how they're told - as decided on by the Bilderbergers.

What's really going on here is a quiet but shrewdly calculated shift away from the Middle East and on to Central Asia as a focus of gremlin enemies. It manipulates Pakistan into the crosshairs, and more importantly, it's an huge step closer to conflict with Russia and China.

With Barack Obama seemingly a lock to be the next President, it only stands to reason that the government and the media begin to turn the public's attention and anxieties to this region of the world. Obama's foreign policy guru, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is ever lurking in the shadows, and he's spent the past 40 or so years obsessing over how to annihilate all members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. See his 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/int/sco.htm

http://www.takeoverworld.info/grandchessboard.html

Last August, it was Obama who declared that he is ready and willing to attack Pakistan in the name of fighting al-Qaeda.

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN0132206420070801

Iraq and Iran are largely Neo-Con agendas. They'll do if need be under an Obama regime, but the Leftist eyes are definitely on bigger fish. With Dick Cheney unable to carry out false flag terror earlier this year, aimed at launching an attack on Iran, the Neo-Con war aspirations have all but fizzled out unless John McCain somehow wins next month.

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/31/cheney-proposal-for-iran-war/

Look for less and less about Iran and more and more about Pakistan as we get nearer to the Obama coup.

Ron Paul: Bailout Bill "Unconstitutional"

Speaking immediately after today's catastrophic passing of the bailout bill in the House, Ron Paul said that - among other things - the bill was unconstitutional.

"This time the bill was much worse," Paul said. "It's amazing. You take a very very bad bill, you take it back out, and you make it much worse. It tells you a little bit about what's going on here in Washington.

"The one very bad part of this bill was the fact that the tax portion of this bill was written by the Senate, and under the Constitution, only the House can originate tax bills. So that in itself was unconstitutional.

"But it's been done before and it will be done again. But that's just sort of the way things happen around here."

Congressman Paul added that the bill doesn't deal with the problem, and that it was simply symbolic of our overspending and over extension - "the absolute bankruptcy of this country."

Watch Dr. Paul's comments on the left hand side of this blog under Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty Feed, or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL-9CV-qbMw&eurl=http://911trutheddie.blogspot.com/.

In contrast, this morning's debate on the House floor saw Nancy Pelosi spewing lies, lauding over the House leaders on both sides for selling out their constituents, and celebrating that 57 members of Congress have no spine and switched their vote. Later in the afternoon, George Bush came out of his hole to tell us how much of a victory the vote was. Yeah, George, about as effective as a "Mission Accomplished."

And let's not forget that the "yay" side of this treason - in both the House and Senate - include the likes of Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden, Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Jay Rockefeller (yes, David's nephew), John Boehner, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Joe Lieberman, Ted Stevens, and on and on and on with the most disgusting members of Congress.

Note: Dennis Kucinich kept his word - as always - and voted no.

Alex Jones and David Icke Synchronizing

Much maligned alternative media and Truth Movement icon David Icke appeared on the Alex Jones show today for the second time in less than three months. Before his last appearance in July, it was some three years since the two mega-forces of the Truth/Awakening movement got together.

It's only fitting (not to mention vital) that these two stalwarts get on the same page given the fact that the Bilderberg agenda is coming to fruition at an increasingly alarming pace by the day. Whether readers/listeners/followers choose to dive down the "rabbit hole" to the extent of Alex, or take the full journey in the fashion of David, there is no denying these are the two most influential figures in what has become an independent media barnstorm in recent years.

Normally it would be of no significance that a pair of war-wagers against the Global Elite are uniting. However, some years back, Alex did call David "the turd in the punch bowl" in regards to 9/11 Truth and the Truth movement in general. This was based on Icke's contentions that - among other things - a Reptilian Hybrid race that runs the world.

I'll admit I personally thought Icke a wacko for the longest time as well. After Alex had him on the show in July, however, and with the continual endorsements of Icke I was given by a friend I completely respect, I gave Icke a shot. I bought his latest book, The David Icke Guide to the Global Conspiracy... and How to Stop It. Well, the Reptilian material is quite hard to grasp for a newcomer, but the majority of the book is brilliant and about the same as the stuff Alex talks about all of the time. In fact, in the July interview, Alex mentioned he agrees with David on 99 percent of stuff. He also added the caveat that in these crazy times, who knows, maybe the remaining one percent is true.

Alex has said on his show that he feels badly about the things he's said about Icke in the past. By having David on, he's not only atoning, but giving the listeners a grand treat as well. These two together are a force.

The best news... Alex and David agreed during today's interview that on October 6, David will join Alex for two full hours to talk about whatever he wants.

After a three year gap, maybe David Icke will become a regular guest. If so, the globalists better watch out because the chasms that unfortunately exist within the Truth movement will shrink at a blistering pace.

The Vetting of Hillary

All the world has been fed for the past 24 hours as it waits for the Dem VP announcement is that Hillary can't be the choice - because she "wasn't fully vetted." First of all, what the hell does that even mean when you get down to it? Secondly, you're right CNN, she wasn't "fully vetted" by a few Obama campaign stooges.

Rather, Hillary was given the full interrogation by the criminals who are actually in charge of this whole charade - the Bilderberg Group (aka - The New World Order, The Globalists, The Illuminati). It wasn't some campaign big-wig from Chicago that put her through the wringer. Instead, it was the likes of David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Just because no one in the MSM will report on it doesn't mean that the June 6 secret meeting between Clinton and Obama didn't occur in the Washington D.C. area - concurrent with the first night of the 2008 Bilderberg meeting just miles away in Chantilly, Va.

http://www.propagandamatrix.com/articles/june2008/060608_hillary_obama.htm

What was really sickening today is that I had to listen to a pack of morons at work and on the streets of Manhattan running around saying that Hillary SHOULD be the pick, but won't because "she hasn't been vetted." Now, she still may not get the nod - as you can never gauge what these megalomaniacs are thinking. But if that's the case, it's certainly NOT because she wasn't interviewed for the job. Try to explain this to a dumbed-down bunch of Anderson Cooper disciples however, and you may as well try to urinate into the winds of Hurricane Fay.

As we get down to what are likely the final hours - if not minutes - before the announcement, I'm still saying Hillary is the choice. Aside from the Bilderberg get together, Bill has the speaking slot right before the V.P. on Wednesday night at the DNC. I cannot imagine him trotting himself out there to essentially introduce Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, or some no-name governor.

Ramos, Compean Not Completely Forgotten

Fortunately it seems that there are still a few folks who won't rest until U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio “Nacho” Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean are rightfully pardoned and freed. Sadly, though, that is almost certainly not going to happen.

http://www.infowars.com/?p=3610

http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/agents_charged/2008/07/28/117003.html

Three weeks ago, Judicial Watch, a public interest law firm, filed a lawsuit against the U.S. State Department to obtain documents related to the government’s decision to prosecute Ramos and Compean and to strike a deal with the criminal and drug trafficker Aldrete-Davila for his testimony against the two agents who intercepted him at the US-Mexican border.

In case you forgot (or more likely never heard the story of) these guys, they are the U.S. Border agents who in 2006 were sent to prison for shooting a Mexican drug dealer. They testified that the shooting was in self defense, but apparently that isn't allowed. And even if it wasn't in self defense, where is the justification for taking down two border patrol agents for shooting some Mexican piece of filth dealing drugs? And as far as race goes, don't even start. These are obviously two Hispanic officers who are involved - it wasn't about race! This is simply a matter of protecting our border. Of course, that's likely the problem. We have a government with absolutely zero interest in protecting our southern border. The mistake these two stand-up cops made was to actually try and enforce the law.

Mexican illegals are completely above the law, and by design. It would take hours and way too much blogging to get into why right now. If you want to know who, what, how and why this is the case, just tune into the Alex Jones show for a few days in a row and you'll be more than educated. The live broadcast, as well as the subsequent podcasts can be found at http://www.infowars.com/.

There is no doubt the overwhelming majority of the illegal alien issue (see illegals pulling down American flags, or Mexican flags flying above American flags) is in the South and Southwest.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=21d_1195197038

However, I can personally attest to the fact that Hispanic illegals are above the law. Last July I appeared in court on a DWI charge. Two defendants ahead of me was an illegal from El Salvador. The charge against this individual was driving without a valid license. Now, in the state of New Jersey, this is a mandatory 12-month suspension and countless fines. Verdict: $50 fine and on his way. The judge chalked it up to the fact that this guy did have a license from El Salvador. Not that I in any way am defending what I did, but do you have any clue the 1000xS of times worse penalty I received? Under New Jersey law, incidentally, the penalties for DWI and no license are not very far apart.

In reality, there are no guidelines for dealing with this riff-raff, and moreover, cops and judges are warned by their bosses not to punish illegals. The illegal Hispanics are an integral tool in bringing down the U.S.

The most tragic part of the story is that patriotic Hispanic-Americans who are trying to protect us like Ramos and Compean are among the first to be sacrificed for this horrendous New World Order Bilderberg agenda.

Obama, McCain: Doing a "Great Job" of Betraying the American People

As far as the MSM is concerned, the 2008 Presidential candidates are stepping up the message and sharpening the focus. Those with their eyes open, however, are finding more tragic comic relief than they could possibly have imagined.

We have McCain complaining that Obama is in Europe, and Obama complaining that he's abroad not doing anything different than McCain. Truth is, Barack is mostly correct. After all, he probably received his talking points back in the first week of June during his "surprise" visit to the Bilderberg meeting on opening night. Both Obama and McCain are fulfilling the Bilderberg, New World Order agenda to perfection.

First off, we have Obama defending his treasonous speech in Berlin last week by saying he and his campaign "did a good job." Well, of course they did. They parroted the NWO message of no borders and no soverignty with perfection, and solidified his nomination. Now, that may seem like an endorsement for the warhawk McCain. NO! He's back in the States running around talking about al-Qaeda, troop surges, and any other GI-Joe-sounding rhetoric that will rally the remains of the right that have forsaken him because, unlike George Bush, he "is not of the Lord."

Obama is clearly the winner. I'm saying it now, write it down, call your bookie; a Five-Star Lock! First off, Obama is getting way too much coverage comparatively. Secondly, all of McCain's comebacks and complaints are very, very far from scandalous. A man like Obama who is running around every part of the world other than his own should be wide open for a crippling attack. Yet witness the weak arsenal McCain is deploying. He was only able to call Obama out on skipping a visit to injured troops in Afghanistan.

Make no mistake here, and don't start in with attacks about my supporting McCain. Read my previous blogs and you'll see I don't even consider McCain a candidate. This is a man who as recently as last week claimed that Saddam Hussien had hopes of WMDs.

NWO Obama Cries Out for One-World Government

Barack Obama further displayed his globalist, New World Order intent yesterday during his speech to some 200,000 sheep in Berlin. The mesmerizing rhetoric was in full swing, as Obama won over the hearts and minds of Europe's most easily brainwashed. He basically called for a "one-world" in which there are no walls, no borders.

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/24/obama.speech/?imw=Y&iref=mpstoryemail

Seemingly harmless enough on its face, as it smacks of a whole "we are the world"-type scenario. The trouble is, this is a fancy dress being put on the horrifying ogre being implemented by the global elite Bilderbergers - a one-world government in which all 6-billion plus of us are complete and total slaves under a single set of globalist masters.

This is what makes Obama just as dangerous as John McCain - just in a different way. McCain makes no attempt to hide the fact he loves the war in Iraq, wants to be there for 100 years or more, can wait to attack Iran, etc. Obama acts like he wants to get out of Iraq, says he opposed the war from the get go, and on and on. Of course he won't get us out of Iraq either, because even if elected, he'll control nothing. It's this empty but unfortunately galvanizing rhetoric, however, that is fooling way too many people for our own good.

Not only does he have the blacks and guilty white liberals fooled, he has half of Europe fleeced now, too.

Obama's Platform Begins to Materialize, and It's a Joke

We've listened to Barack Obama for months on end say absolutely nothing aside from how he represents "change." We've seen him weasel his way out of despicable associations with the likes of Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger - both of whom are openly anti-White, although Pfleger himself is white. We've had to listen to his wretched wife talk about how disgraced she is to be an American. And so we've waited and waited and waited to hear some sort of policy stance.

Well that's now materializing, and not shockingly, it's pretty darn similar to that of John McCain. Over the the past couple of weeks, both candidates have gone from saying they would not accept public campaign financing to saying they would. On the war front(s), we know McCain is a complete chicken hawk psycho, but Obama's camp came out the other day saying all options are on the table in regards to Iran. Nearly a year ago, Obama also said he would certainly consider military action against Pakistan.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20070536/

Today he had to call two separate press conferences in North Dakota about the same thing: Iraq. That's because he first said he would be open to changing his stance on the war in Iraq after a visit to the country. I guess he quickly realized he slipped up and admitted what anyone with half a brain already knows and that is he has no intention of ending the war. So, he called the media shills back and half-heartedly backpedaled.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080703/pl_nm/usa_politics_obama_iraq1_dc

And let's not forget the shady backdoor meeting he held with Hillary back on June 6 right outside of D.C. - the same night the 2008 Bilderberg meeting got underway in nearby Chantilly, VA. This unannounced meeting was abetted by locking press members inside Obama's plane and shipping them back off to Chicago before they had any idea Obama was not on board.

Sure, he's charming and a dynamic speaker. He's likely the slightly better alternative (only because McCain is The Manchurian Candidate - literally), but like I've been saying, we waited for the true colors to come out, and they are dark indeed.

Does Your Bank Account Feel Stimulated?

Last Saturday I finally received my George W. Bush "stimulus" check in the mail. I'll admit that while this program is a complete farce, I certainly needed the $600. That doesn't put me in different company from 90% of America though. Who couldn't use the average $600 or so boost to their account? Unfortunately, 99.0% of those who received a check - including myself - have already spent it.

Personally, I've been waiting for about six weeks now for the check because I've been wondering how I'm going to pay the rent and continue to pay down credit, watch Cablevision, and have electricity in the apartment all at the same time. I'm guessing this is the case with most people. Of course, the economy will see a slight boost because Americans are so dumb that even if they're in the same place I and so many others are, they'll still choose to spend $300/$600/$1200 (depending on tax status) on a couple of Red Lobster dinners, a night at the movies, and the cheapest HDTV Wal-Mart has to offer.

9.7 million stimulus checks went out during the past week, totalling $7.5 billion in money that doesn't exist. Where did a government that owes billions in debt to China alone each day come up with this nest egg? Answer: They didn't. It's more of printing green paper out of thin air. Even more ludicrous are the letters that taxpayers receive informing them of when they'll receive their check. About half of folks I talk to receive their check BEFORE they receive the notification letter. Not particularly helpful, huh? I was one of those people. Check came last Saturday, notice of check came two days later. On its face it may not seem important, but how many millions of extra dollars - that don't actually exist - is our government spending on man hours, postage and paper to get these letters out?

CNN Money, MSNBC and other "financial experts" are writing columns advising folks on how to best invest this money. Yet in actuality, anyone who can afford to invest anything didn't receive a check. As I mentioned earlier, the money is all spent, and that leads to a yet another paradox. How can you stimulate an economy with billions of dollars that have already been spent? The answer is you can't. The unfortunate reality is that you can tell the public you can and they'll believe you.

While the sheeple were busy cashing out this week, we quietly had one of the most disastrous financial performances in recent memory. The past seven days saw oil reach $143/barrel, the Pound hit $1.99/$, the Euro spike back to $1.57/$ and the stock market plummet back towards 11,000 (when just a few months ago we were well above 14,000). If it weren't so sad, it would be comical that this all happened during the week when our criminal government stepped up its economic "stimulization." Analysts added that we're solidly headed toward the worst economic June since 1930. Yes, that was during the Great Depression.

All of this said, I'm not in the least surprised. After all, I watched Alex Jones's 2007 film Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement. In that film was extensive coverage of the 2006 Bilderberg Group meeting outside of Ottawa, CA. It was leaked back then that the global crime syndicate's aim was $200/barrel oil. Almost two years later, we now have the largest criminal financial firms squawking about oil between $150-$170/barrel by the end of the summer. Whenever the MSM and the elite financiers begin coming close to telling the truth, you can bet the farm we're in far more than dire straits. True economists like Paul Craig Roberts (father of Reaganomics), Bob Chapman (The International Forecaster), and Joseph Stiglitz (former head of The World Bank) have been warning of $200 or more/barrel oil for quite some time now. Not that MSM ever gave this any airtime.

Those who have the most to lose are those who have had the money to make investments over the past 5 to 10 years. These are the same people who were sure they were part of "the establishment." When our financial system finally collapses for good, these are the poor souls who will be most affected. And as terrible as it sounds, I don't feel the least bit sorry for them. After all, these are the folks who have enabled the MSM and the government to continue lying to everyone because it made them feel safe, powerful, and part of the "winning team."

For the rest of us, soon we'll need to come up with a warm, welcoming speech for our new teammates.

The Neo-Con Stretch Run

We're rapidly approaching the last half-year of the Bush Administration's tour of tyranny and terror. While the general public is running around asking "Obama or McCain?" "Who will be the VP nominees?" and "Lakers or Celtics?", the real question every American should be asking his or herself is: "What grand finale do the Neo-Cons have in store for us?"

There has been a rash of potentially ominous statements recently from the Neo-Con camp. Of course there's the ongoing talking point of "all options are on the table" regarding Iran. It's no secret that Bush, Cheney and the rest of them are absolutely clawing at the walls in anticipation of annihilating the Iranians. This has been on the table for years. Ron Paul stood before the House as far back as 2004 and pled for our criminal regime to exercise restraint in regards to Iran. The only potential saving grace is that at last week's Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, Va., the European contingent was dead set against the U.S. attacking Iran. Hopefully, this will be enought to stall the aggression.

There have been some frightening similarities over the past year or so between Iran-related overtures, and the lead-up to the war with Iraq. Aside from the White House rhetoric, there has been the positioning of three U.S. warships right outside of Iranian waters, as well as nonsensical attempts to link Iran to al-Qaeda. Remember that Iran is Shiite. The opposite branch of Islam, and eternal enemies of the Sunni al-Qaeda. Of course, al-Qaeda as it's been portrayed doesn't exist. But the small terrorist groups that actually do run around bombing buses and such are indeed Sunni, based out of Saudi Arabia.

Then we have Bush demanding "bring me Bin Laden before I leave office." Now, by all legitimate (ie - non MSM) accounts, Osama has been dead for a long time. Whether he is still running around the caves of Afghanistan or not is completely irrelevant. This ultimatum from Bush could very well mean a late fall/early winter appearance of another staged video. We could well be looking at footage of a blown up cave, or an operative dressed up in Muslim garb with a fake beard. Complete with the proclamation that we've finally, after more than seven years, captured the boogeyman. This would naturally justify the entire war on terror, and proactively justify any subsequent wars or infringements on liberty that McCain or Obama have in store for the American people.

We also saw Newt Gingrich in the past couple of days spew more terror mongering and propaganda. This time in response to the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling in favor of Habeas Corpus. At least one branch of the government still has a few (if very few) scruples. The high court ruled that it is not constitutional to round up anyone the government wants and deny them of due process - whether or not they are suspected of potential terrorism. Well, that just isn't going to fly with Newt.

Gingrich pronounced that the result of this ruling will be the destruction of an American city. That of course is code for a nuclear attack on a U.S. metropolis. While the general public will buy this wholesale, it's an unbelievable attempt at fear mongering. Gingrich is no doubt insinuating that al-Qaeda will nuke one of our major cities if we're not able to round everyone up and throw them into a black hole. The problem with this is twofold. First, al-Qaeda doesn't exist. Secondly, even if you want to believe they're hiding in your bathtub, they're not Pakistan, they're not China, they're not India, and they're not Israel. They... don't... have... nukes.

Stating the Obvious - Bermas is the Man

Alex Jones decided he needs some much deserved family time this week, so he's taking off, and Jason Bermas is filling in. Bermas filled in two weeks ago for three days while Alex was off bullhorning the Bilderberg dirtbags in Chantilly, Va.

I have to say that in the past, I would seriously be a bit depressed when Alex went away. Like we'd be completely devoid of good radio for up to a week. But ever since Bermas temporarily relocated to Austin to work on his upcoming film Fabled Enemies, it's actually been pretty rad. Obviously, Alex's style is incomparable but Bermas really makes sure the show doesn't miss a beat. He's extremely well versed, well spoken and while he isn't nearly as schooled as Alex, he covers a damn good amount of topics. He really is showing he's a whole lot more than Loose Change.

Speaking of... where's Dylan Avery? Clearly he's always been a bit less comfortable in the spotlight than Bermas, but I hear or see nothing from him. I'll admit I haven't looked too deeply, but it would be cool to hear from him some more.
