The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. -- Albert Einstein

She admitted late last month, that she "misspoke" when she claimed she had dodged bullets while arriving in Bosnia as first lady.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Corn prices jumped to a record $6 a bushel Thursday, driven up by an expected supply shortfall that will only add to Americans' growing grocery bill and further squeeze struggling ethanol producers.
The frenzied personal attacks on me by Obama supporters have reached a new intensity lately. You have to wonder why. Is it because they fear that there is no smoke without fire? My smoke seems to be bothering them. It’s like they are gasping for air.
Their latest trick to distract attention from the sex and drugs Obama did with me in November 1999 is to re-write my life. They claim to have dug up new scraps of information about my past, my parents, my distant relatives-in-law and former neighbors, some of whom have no relation or connection to me at all.
They need not have bothered. In January 2008, when I went public with my allegations about Obama, I volunteered to serious journalists from the mainstream media and other serious investigators all that is relevant about my health, my criminal record, my sexual orientation and my former lifestyle.
The emphasis of the 3-part discussion is on the "free energy" aspect of (UFO) disclosure. Greer makes the point that the government's secrecy about UFOs stems primarily from the fact that full disclosure would reveal the secrets of energy from the vacuum systems (zero point energy) out of the bag and basically wipe out the oil industry and energy cartels in a period of about 10-15 years. But now with oil at about $100 a barrel and gas prices rising and all the environmental concerns there may be increased pressure from the public on the government to release its secret information about zero point energy systems and the UFOs which use them.

When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
"Because she was a liar," Zeifman said in an interview last week. "She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality."
Putin had strongly warned the military alliance against moving to bring Ukraine and Georgia aboard. He even threatened that Russia could point its nuclear missiles at Ukraine if it joins NATO and hosts part of a U.S. missile defense system.
In a political move that received little if any attention by the American news media, the United States and Canada entered into a military agreement on February 14, 2008, allowing the armed forces from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a domestic civil emergency, even one that does not involve a cross-border crisis, according to a police commander involved in homeland security planning and implementation.

That dawn, naked, covered in blood and feces, bleeding from her anus, she found a US soldier she did not know lying naked in the bed next to her: his gun lay on the floor beside the bed, she could not rouse him and all she could remember of the night before was screaming and screaming as the soldier anally penetrated her while a colleague who worked for defense contractor KBR held her hand--but instead of helping her, as she had hoped, he jammed his penis in her mouth.
As CEPR documents in a recent paper, Mexico stands to lose an amount equal to 3 percent of their GDP due to the over-reliance on the U.S. export market (bloated to massive deficits), which will now come crashing down thanks to our recession.
NEW YORK – A newly disclosed secret memo authored by the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in March 2003 that asserts President Bush has unlimited power to order brutal interrogations of detainees also reveals a radical interpretation of the Constitution's Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable search and seizure. The memo, declassified yesterday as the result of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit, cites a still-secret DOJ memo from 2001 that found that the "Fourth Amendment had no application to domestic military operations."
The agreement was declared at the Nato summit underway in Bucharest and will sharpen tensions between the US and Russia, which is fiercely opposed to the stationing of the system so close to its borders.

Praising Israel in a speech about racism is like praising the history of White South Africa in a speech about civil rights. Has the fact that Israel is a Zionist state completely escaped the minds of all the Obamakins?
Young people know they have been cheated by the power elite and its wars, taxes, fiat money, bailouts, and police state. That's why the Ron Paul Revolution is a permanent one. And unlike the Trotskyite-neocon permanent revolution, Ron Paul's is for freedom, peace, and capitalism.
Says McCain, “I would institute a policy called ‘rogue state rollback.’ I would arm, train, equip, both from without and from within, forces that would eventually overthrow the governments and install free and democratically elected governments.”
According to the government, James Earl Ray shot Dr. Martin Luther King from that window. There is, needless to say, no physical evidence to prove this charge. James Earl Ray spent his life in prison based solely on a coerced confession which he immediately retracted. None of the ballistics tests, which were performed on the rifle James Earl Ray allegedly used, were able to link that rifle to the actual bullet that killed Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King's family does not think James Earl Ray was the killer, and recently won a civil court case proving there was a conspiracy.
