Wanna Bet Obama Doesn't "Go Big" Tonight? - (a.k.a. ANOTHER Obama fake-out!! - mpg)
A quote...."September 08, 2011 "Information Clearing House" --  Lets get something straight before President Pangloss delivers his speech tonight. Two-thirds of the $300 billion "stimulus package" he'll be asking for (to reduce unemployment) is just an extension of programs that are already in place, like the payroll tax cut and extension of unemployment benefits. So, what Obama would characterize as a "bold attack on joblessness" is just a big nothingburger, just old wine in new bottles. The plan has no oomph at all; it won't put a dent in unemployment nor will it revive the flagging economy which is presently skittering towards another recession. So why is the White House wasting our time with this nonsense? Do they really think that Obama is going to get a bump in the ratings just by waving his hand at the horizon and mouthing the same old platitudes?

9/11, The Crime of the Century....A Tenth Year Anniversary Retrospective

The post-9/11 decade of lies -- The myth of 9/11, imbedded inextricably into the fibers of society and culture... -- Must Read - Quote of the Day...."It has been and will be the same since the day it happened. The same exhausting exercise, whether one, five years, ten or fifty years since 9/11. Another orchestrated orgy of mass propaganda-stoked ignorance and “war on terrorism” hysteria. --  The propaganda myth of 9/11, imbedded inextricably into the fibers of society and culture, and into the brain cells of naïve, willfully uninformed people, is back for another sickening “commemoration”. " - bold/underline by website editor

9/11 Mythology: The Big Lie of Our Time
Must Read - A quote...."Winston Churchill rightly explained that "(a) lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Today, of course, it circulates everywhere instantly. -- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany's Reich Minister of Propaganda, once said:   "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." -- He added that "truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." -- Corporate media manipulators love a big story they can hype, distort, and falsify to attract large audiences supportively for the worst imperial crimes. -- In fact, the bigger the event, the worse the reporting, sacrificing truth for managed news and opinions everyone should understand and avoid."

After 9/11:  Ten Years of War
Special Note - GRVideo - Alt - (GRYuTb - 9min19sec - Sep 8, 2011) - Source:  GlobalResearchTV -- Second Quote of the Day...."Even if one believes the official story of 9/11 (which is only really possible if they don’t actually know the official story of 9/11)  looking at what has happened since 9/11 should be enough to make them stop and wonder about the event itself.  --  Ten years of open ended wars moving from one key oil producing nation to the next; an attack on our civil liberties; an attack on our constitutional protections; theft of public resources on a scale never before dreamed of; the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act; the acceptance of torture and renditions and targeted murder; Shock and Awe; Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, soon we will be in Syria, with continued attempts to create the right pretext to invade Iran and North Korea; the controlled demolition of our economy, by banks that we rewarded with a nearly endless Too Big Too Fail bailout scheme while both republicans and democrats currently work out a way to finally destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and sell off the public education system to the lowest bidder… this country has become monstrous, a living breathing nightmare run by greedy, bought off war-mongering neoliberals. The news organizations lie incessantly, constantly “spinning” some news while actually making up other parts as they go."

Tear Down the 'Freedom Tower'
Special Note - A quote...."Ask yourself this: ten years into the post-9/11 era, haven't we had enough of ourselves?  If we have any respect for history or humanity or decency left, isn't it time to rip the Band-Aid off the wound, to remove 9/11 from our collective consciousness?  No more invocations of those attacks to explain otherwise inexplicable wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and our oh-so-global war on terror.  No more invocations of 9/11 to keep the Pentagon and the national security state flooded with money.  No more invocations of 9/11 to justify every encroachment on liberty, every new step in the surveillance of Americans, every advance in pat-downs and wand-downs and strip downs that keeps fear high and the homeland security state afloat."

9/11: A Time For Truth
Special Note - A quote...."The authors of the Project for the New American Century’s (PNAC)** report entitle Rebuilding America’s Defenses remain unaccountable.  In the Report, written one year before 9/11, they state that Americans will not support the military conquest of the Middle East “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor.”  That Pearl Harbor was 9/11, which served as the pretext for the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, and predator drone bombings in Pakistan.  PNAC members** and/or report signatories include....

It can essentially be used as a complete substitute for the Pentagon. -- According to Gaffney as well as the Omaha World Herald, three E-4Bs were involved in a massive war game simulation called Global Guardian on the day of the 9/11 terror attacks."

Fraud As A Banking Business Model

Congressional investigations in recent years have put ample evidence of fraud in the public domain."

The Royal Bank of Scotland has received £20 million in public money. The blurb for the bank's arms party reads: "The Middle East is one of the regions with the greatest number of opportunities for UK defence and security companies. Saudi Arabia... is the world's top defence importer, having spent $56bn in 2009... a very worthwhile region to target."

9/11, The Crime of the Century....A Tenth Year Anniversary Retrospective

911 reasons why 9/11 was (probably) an inside job
A quote...."9/11 was the day steel-framed buildings fell like sandcastles, the law of physics worked in reverse and the United States Air Force went missing in action. So what is the real story? -- Before attempting to identify “nine hundred and eleven reasons why 9/11 was an inside job” (which will start tomorrow as part of an investigative, four-part report), I would like to briefly mention my own “where-were-you-on-9/11-moment” since it has a lot to do with my reasons for rejecting the official version of events that fateful day." - also posted at AlethoNews

US War on Terror: Provocations, Mystifications, and Illusory Feats
A quote...."A decade ago, the World Trade Center was destroyed in “a terrorist attack” on September 11 in New York. Contrary to all efforts made by the Empire's propaganda and (dis)information machine, the belief in the complicity of hawks from G. Bush's Administration in the whole story did not recede from public discourse but, instead, gained tens of millions of followers worldwide...  Even those who take no interest in global politics are beginning to discern the agenda behind the drama which shook the heart of New York: after the collapse of the USSR, the US military-industrial complex desperately needed a credible threat posed by a strong and lethally dangerous enemy. The hawks gave the role to Al Qaeda and its leader Usama Bin Laden, a former CIA agent who had led the mujahideen resistance to the Soviets in Afghanistan."

The Matrix of Macro-Memory Masks The Machiavellian Murderers on 9/11
A quote...."Since September 11, 2001, a memory-industrial complex has emerged in America, Israel and Western society that seeks to cover up the truth of the events on that day and impose a false historical narrative on society. -- Constructing false memories of transformative events for a society and false narratives about history is a tricky business, but in the right hands it is an art. Memory construction goes way beyond any traditional understanding of state propaganda. It enters the territory of the divine, where government is god and what it says is the final truth."

All those doctored up "Bin Laden" videos catch up to your old SITE Institute to the point that a name change was needed to keep attention away from your past antics? -- And why did you scrub away pertinent info from your new web page?

• Who says Al Qaeda takes credit for a bombing? Rita Katz.
• Who gets us bin Laden tapes? Rita Katz.
• Who gets us pretty much all information telling us Muslims are bad? Rita Katz?
• Rita Katz is the Director of Site Intelligence, primary source for intelligence used by news services, Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA.
• What are her qualification? She served in the Israeli Defense Force. She has a college degree and most investigative journalists believe the Mossad "helps" her with her information. We find no evidence of any qualification whatsoever of any kind. A bartender has more intelligence gathering experience.

The Charts That Shows QE3 Failed Before It Even Started
Charts - (click till enlarged) -- A quote...."While it is all too clear that a year from today, right about the time QE4 is gearing up for deployment, QE3 will have had absolutely no impact on the economy (in the upside case; the downside case would imply millions in job losses primarily in the financial sector courtesy of record low 2s10s and even lower Net Interest Margins, aka Carry Trades), just as QE2 ended up doing nothing not only for the US economy but for the stock market as well, what is somewhat disturbing is that the only primary purpose of Operation Twist, namely the lowering of 10 Year bond yields in order to make consumers "weathier" through cheaper refis, has already failed."

Is The End Of The Euro In Sight?

Roubini: Slowdown Brings Forward New Crisis

Israel Never Was America’s Best Friend
A quote...."When was Israel ever a friend to anyone including America? -- In 1954 the Israelis attacked US and British buildings with bombs in order to stir up animosity against the Muslims. After they were caught Israel screamed anti-Semitism. On 8 June 1967 the Israelis over a period of six hours repeatedly bombed and strafed the American ship the USS Liberty killing 34 US sailors. They even fired at survivors in their life boats. According to Mordecai Vanunu the Israelis killed President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. And anyone with a brain and an open mind will have to honestly conclude that Israel did 911 with the assistance of Zionist traitors inside the US government."

Lawfare is bloodless warfare
Quote of the Day...."Lawfare is bloodless warfare. When it is used by a government or an officially sponsored group, it has two aspects. First, it can be used to expand government prerogatives, making what was illegal legal and indemnifying those government employees who have broken the law. Second, it can serve as a tool to punish those who oppose government policies. Making the illegal legal is what John Yoo and Jay Bybee did in the George W. Bush White House when they issued legal judgments supporting torture. It is also what the Barack Obama administration has been doing in obtaining legal advice in expanding the FBI use of national security letters and in saying that the war against Libya is constitutional. The Obama administration has also protected government employees through granting de facto immunity to torturers by refusing to allow the Justice Department to prosecute them. It has used lawfare extensively to defend itself against criticism and whistle-blowers by citing the state-secrets privilege to stop legal challenges, making government employees essentially free from any accountability."

More On The Economic Situation....

Commodities Look Set to Rocket Higher
Special Note - Multiple Charts -- A quote..."I've been asked to comment on the work of a few noted deflationists who are calling for a top in commodity prices here. Their argument is pretty clear cut: Because inflation is a function of available money plus credit (their definition), and because credit has fallen, deflation is what comes next. When looking about for things to deflate in price, commodities are an obvious candidate for attention because they have risen so much over the past decade. -- In this view, three things have to be true...."

• Demand for commodities has to fall below supply. After all, as long as demand exceeds supply, prices will typically rise.
• Money, including credit that would normally be used to buy commodities, has to shrink. That's the definition of deflation that we're analyzing here.
• People's preference for money has to be greater than their preference for 'things,' with commodities being very obvious 'things.' That is, faith in money has to be there or people will prefer to store their wealth elsewhere.

"These are all just versions of the old supply/demand argument for commodity prices, except that our consideration also includes the important element of the Austrian economic view of demand for money. -- There are several reasons why I think there are serious holes in each of these conditions." - also posted at ZeroHedge

A quote...."On September 14 the four-year labor agreements covering 114,000 US auto workers at GM, Ford and Chrysler expire. Although the companies have raked in more than $7 billion in profits this year, they have made it clear that workers—who have not had a raise since 2003—will see no improvements in wages or working conditions."

And NOW we know why all that auto "channel stuffing" has been going on for the last six months.  Management is gonna lock the workers out and close the plants for a couple of months as part of their negotiating strategy.

It's sort of sick in a way, the Obama administration handed these auto companies tens of billions of tax-payer dollars, some of which were extracted from the tax-paying union members themselves, all so they could cajole the workers into ramping-up production,  make the stats look good for Obama, and stuff the dealer's lots with cars so they could have an inventory cushion to close their plants and crush the unions during their up-coming strike.

They made the workers pay for the "management's" own "strike-fund" , it's hilarious!  It was all probably part of the Bankster's loan "deal" from the very beginning, and these union members voted for Obama, which is even more hilarious! - mpg

USI is not a capitalistic state at all, it is a communist enclave where corporations thrive by sucking at the public tit for CORPORATE WELFARE that makes public welfare appear to be just a handful of bread crumbs compared to the literal mountains of cash which the corporations rake in each and every day and all of it comes from you and me." - also posted at DProgram

Of course Kean run’s away, dodges questions and calls over security during the questioning when asked about Philip Zelikow’s 9/11 Commission outline, that was written before the investigation started. If this video shows anything, it shows how there was a massive cover up of the events of 9/11 by the Bush Administration."

Why You Can NOT Believe the "9/11 Conspiracy Theory De-bunkers!"
A quote...."Myth huggers naively believe that people in an American government do not lie and would not do horrible things to "their own people." In fact, any one who actually believes that Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, or any of their neocon cohorts would lose a minute of sleep or shed a single tear over the deaths of a bunch of liberal New Yorkers, he or she is clearly living in another reality!!! The victims of the 9/11 attacks cleared the path for trillions of dollars in profit for these men and their partners in the military industrial complex. Myth huggers close their eyes to the reality that power brokers are ruthless men who view us all as pawns. They would just as soon blow us up in a building as they would sacrifice our lives by sending us to fight in a war to accomplish their goals."

Satire - A quote...."Nobody can deny the neat collapse of three World Trade Center buildings into their footprints at nearly free-fall speeds looks exactly like so-called “controlled demolition.” And yes, high-rise fires (many bigger, more intense, and longer lasting than those at the WTC) had never come close to bringing down a modern steel-framed building until it happened THREE times in one day on 9/11.

It quickly brought to mind the infamous Berlin Conference of 1884 at which Africa was sliced up among its European colonisers. --  Quite rightly so, South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma let it be known - as any self-respecting African should have done - that he would have nothing to do with this cynical circus initiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron, onstensibly to decide Libya's future ... as if Libyans and Africans themselves should not be doing that." - also posted at GlobalRsrch & Uruknet

Mexico Fades -- An Intrusion of Reality - Never a Good Thing
Must Read - (This is really good, reminds this website editor of Joe Bageant's writings....mpg) - A quote...."September 06, 2011 "Information Clearing House" - Things change, usually for the worse, and always against the innocent. (This truth is a principle of curmudgeonry.) When I came to Mexico some eight years ago, it was a peaceful, moderately successful upper-Third-World country—middle-class, barely, literate, though often barely, and as democratic as the United States, which is to say barely. Things were improving, though often they had a long way to go. The young were visibly healthier than preceding generations. The birth rate was in sharp decline. Women entered the professions in substantial and growing numbers."

"And it was safe. Expats sat over coffee at the plaza laughing at people back in the States, insular, fearful, ignorant of the world outside their borders. (For recent college graduates, Mexico is a country south of the United States. “South” is down on maps.) Mexico, they believed, was most astonishing perilous. Don't drink the water, avoid ice. Salads were thought especially lethal. The Federales would kill you for sport, like squirrels. On any given day, you would probably be shot several times by bandidos. It was nonsense."

"Then Vicente Fox left office, and Felipe Calderon came in. He declared war on the narcotraficantes. Why he did this, I don't know, since Mexico didn't have a drug problem. My guess is that Washington pushed him into it, but I don't know."

From the very beginning 1-1/2 years ago we told Greece to default and that it was inevitable. Of course, the Greek government did not do that, because they wanted to hand their Illuminist friends Greek assets on a silver platter – that is public and private assets. When Greece goes eventually the other five will fall as well. Banks all over Europe are at risk even German savings banks, many US money market and pension funds have as much as 60% of their assets in instruments belonging to the six weaker nations.

Flight 93 did not crash in one piece as the official story claims but came apart in midair. -- The most likely explanation is that the flight crew regained control of their aircraft, either from the hijackers or from a remote control system.

A quote...."This writer, with a BA in Speech & Theater and a minor in Film, regards John Frankenheimer’s 1964 movie Seven Days in May as the greatest! It is a must see for all Americans, especially in this age of extended empire. The screenplay was written by Rod Serling, and it is as powerful an indictment against the abuses of the Military Industrial Complex as one can find. The only reason this film would not fit into the genre of Serling’s Twilight Zone series is that a Coup d’état did actually occur in November 1963. View the film, either for the first time or the hundredth time… it is that important. Yet, perhaps the Military Industrial Complex, led by its inner core of imperialist manipulators, needs not a Coup d’état anymore. Perhaps all that is needed is enough fear of attack to allow the good folks of America to become as obedient as necessary. Did not September 11, 2001 give us that?"

Website Editor's Note:  Elements within the "Military Industrial Complex", also known as the "Iron Triangle", were definitely involved with facilitating the attack on 9/11.  However, they were not the only ones, in fact, it has become increasingly clear to this website editor that Israel, along with its appendages in the United States, empowered by AIPAC and other organizations like it, along with many individuals within the "Jewish Community" who live here amongst us, took the commanding role in facilitating 9/11.

This is an intolerable situation, we, as a people, CANNOT have our House and Senate swearing fealty to Israel every chance they can get, we cannot have one fifth of our Congress jaunting over to Israel every year on all expense paid vacation trips just so they can give the Mossad more opportunities for blackmail, we cannot have hundreds -- perhaps even thousands -- within our very own military doing the same, we cannot have dual Israeli/American citizens like Michael Chertoff profiting from actions carried out by Israeli firms under the direction of the Mossad, we cannot have the Neocons and others of their ilk, most of them from the "Jewish Community" implementing thirty year plans like the PNAC Protocols against the interests of the rest of the people in this country.

This situation is simply not acceptable -- Behavior like this is treasonable in ANY county, by ANY measure or criteria, at ANY time in history. -- Period. - mpg

The Assault On Libya....

Libya: Here We Go Again
A quote...."Here we go again. The cheering crowds. The deposed dictator. The encomiums to freedom and liberty. The American military as savior. You would think we would have learned in Afghanistan or Iraq. But I guess not. I am waiting for a trucked-in crowd to rejoice as a Gadhafi statue is toppled and Barack Obama lands on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit to announce “Mission Accomplished.” War, as long as you view it through the distorted lens of the corporate media, is not only entertaining, but allows us to confuse state power with personal power. It permits us to wallow in unchecked self-exaltation. We are a nation that loves to love itself." - also posted at ICH -- WELCOME....TO THE NEW ROMAN EMPIRE!! -- Do all you people out there like all this Neo-Roman "bread and circuses"??  Well, you're gonna be paying for it, and your children, and your grand children, and probably your great grand children.....for a VERY long time to come. - mpg

A country that they worked hard to perfect, and fought and died to protect, is no longer the land of the free. Despite the cries of uneducated pundits, we are not moving to a system of socialism, we are moving to a strengthening fascist state.

Both our own culture in the United States, as well as that of the rest of the Western World, are adequate proof of that. -- Indeed, the depths of cultural, moral, and spiritual degradation we have allowed ourselves to sink to scarcely appears to have any limits.

September 11, 2001: The CIA’s Islamist Cover Up
A quote...."[We have] a very precise and practical problem that hasn’t been addressed: the refusal of the CIA to disclose the details of its involvement with Islamist groups. In recent weeks, the agency has tried to block sections of a new book that deals with its handling of al-Qaeda before and after September 11. But this is only one part of a large-scale cover-up that Western governments have been perpetrating about decades of ties to Islamist organizations. Until we clarify our murky history with radical Islam, we won’t be able to understand the background of the September 11 attacks and whether our strategies today to engage the Muslim world are likely to succeed."

NATO airstrikes have apparently proved ineffective and other cities are now bolstering their defenses and rejecting calls by the NATO-backed Al Qaeda fighters to surrender. As the deadline for NATO's military intervention grows increasingly nearer, their efforts to seize the nation have become increasingly more desperate and in proportion more depraved." - bold by website editor

TNC-NATO siege of Sirte is a war crime.
A quote...."NATO and the Transitional National Council in Libya (or Paris or Qatar or wherever it is) have reportedly given the people of Sirte ten days to surrender or face a full military onslaught.  This is not a cease-fire.  While they await their fate, they will still be subject to shelling by artillery and British warships and NATO bombing, and food, water and electricity have already been cut off."

Yes, I’m saying that it’s all lies
A quote...."None of us could possibly have avoided hearing NATO’s side of the story and the reasons and justifications given for Gaddafi’s removal and how military intervention is necessary to protect Libyan citizens. -- But are you sure you’ve heard both sides? Have you heard Gaddafi’s perspective on this issue? Or have you just heard “his side” as represented by the mainstream western media? If so I can start by telling you that his words, and the words of his son, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi have been deliberately misinterpreted and edited out of context to create simple soundbite propaganda to influence people."

War of ideas breaks out over battle in Libya

Carving Up The Libya Corpse For Profit
Must Read - A quote...."On September 1, dozens of predator states met in Paris to pick apart Libya's bones even though it's breathing, if barely. --  We've seen it before, notably in Iraq under Paul Bremer's 100 orders that turned the country into a cutthroat capitalist laboratory. Baghdad was open for business at fire sale prices with US and other Western firms having first dibs on everything. --  The "cradle of civilization" became Iraq, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate predators. The Iraq that was no longer exists. --  A wish list of economic laws followed. Corporate taxes dropped from 45% to a flat 15%. Foreign companies got to own 100% of Iraqi assets and be able to repatriate all profits back home. Import restrictions ended, and investors could sign 40-year deals and leases so no future governments could change them." - Source:  SteveLendman - also posted at Uruknet

The Al Qaeda Insurgency in Syria: Recruiting Jihadists to Wage NATO’s “Humanitarian Wars”
Must Read - A quote...."It was not the result of internal political cleavages, but rather the consequence of a deliberate plan by the US-NATO alliance to trigger social chaos, to discredit the Syrian government of Bashar Al Assad  and ultimately destabilize Syria as a Nation State. -- Since the middle of March 2011, Islamist armed groups covertly supported by Western and Israeli intelligence have conducted terrorist attacks on government buildings and acts of arson."

20 Hidden Ways the Iraq War is Affecting the US Dollar -- Number three is quite interesting....mpg
#3 Avoiding confrontation: (Actually they apper to be causing one) -- In 2006, Syria switched all of its foreign currency transactions from dollars to euros. Perhaps taking notes from Iraq, this move was made to protect them against any confrontation with the US, as US laws require that all dollar transactions have to pass through the US banking system. Iraq made a similar decision in 2000, opting to sell Iraqi oil in euros. Syria’s move to euros is designed to keep their foreign assets safer, avoiding a situation in which they’d be frozen during conflict with the US. The decreased use of the dollar affects demand of it, and thus, the dollar’s value." - bold by website editor

Revisited - The Real Reasons for the Upcoming War With Iraq:
From the History File - Original Essay January 2003 - (just a reminder) -- A quote...."Although completely unreported by the U.S. media and government, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking -- it is in large part an oil currency war. One of the core reasons for this upcoming war is this administration's goal of preventing further Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd largest proven oil reserves."

Petrodollar Warfare: Dollars, Euros and the Upcoming Iranian Oil Bourse
From the History File - Published Aug 2 2005 - (just a reminder) -- A quote...."Candidly stated, ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ was a war designed to install a pro-U.S. government in Iraq, establish multiple U.S military bases before the onset of global Peak Oil, and to reconvert Iraq back to petrodollars while hoping to thwart further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency (i.e. “petroeuro”).[3] However, subsequent geopolitical events have exposed neoconservative strategy as fundamentally flawed, with Iran moving towards a petroeuro system for international oil trades, while Russia evaluates this option with the European Union."

Dollar vs EURO -- Weapons of mass destruction
From the History File - Published May 2003 - (just a reminder) -- quote...."There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, in the form of EURO currency. The petrodollar depends upon Iraq's oil reserves to defend the United States dollar against the EURO and other currencies. In 2001, well before Iraq's invasion, the dollar faced uncertainty as an overpriced, debt heavy currency against a new and robust EURO. In early 2004, the dollar is losing ground."

Friday September 2nd 2011

People in this country can't stop the ever increasing number of wars, or the tortures, murders and mayhem being committed worldwide in their names, or the shredding of this nation's constitution, or the pedophiles and perverts who molest them each day at our airports, or giving tens of trillions of dollars of their hard earned money to the Banksters, or the increasing impoverishment of this nation's entire population.  But what they CAN do is help this nation become the New Roman Empire and support "gay" (no such thing of course) "marriage" [and open homosexuality in the military] .  WOW!  Nice going folks, guess the ENTIRE world now has a really good idea of exactly what this nation's priorities are.  --  As we plunge ever deeper into a war ravaged police state and a never ending economic depression, everyone who becomes homeless, or watches their kids suffer from the lack of decent medical care, or watches their sons or daughters come back home in a body bag....this is what YOU, or at least the representatives YOU voted for, consider important.  Remember that, because this website editor sure will. - mpg - posted 06-25-11 -- Topix ||  Let's Bring Back Polygamy - 08-21-04 - mpg  ||  Kalifornia and the NRE - 08-04-10 - mpg  ||
