Nancy Pelosi: Obama Can Execute Americans in Secret

Wednesday, 20 February 2013 08:39

‘House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thinks we’d be asking too much of Obama if we demanded the President publicly acknowledge when he targets a US citizen for assassination. If President Obama wants to drop a bomb on an American with a drone in total secrecy, he should be able to do so.’

“NO MORE HESITATION” Cardboard Targets for DHS Target Practice

Target Practice: Young Moms with their kids.

Paul Joseph Watson has uncovered proof that a U.S. based company called “Law Enforcement Training, Inc.” has been selling millions of dollars worth of “no hesitation” targets to the Department of Homeland Security.

Target Practice: Women in their homes.

These targets (see images) are used to train DHS employees to shoot American citizens and they depict pregnant women, old men, children and even young moms with guns. The purpose of the targets, according to the company that sells them, is to “eliminate any hesitation” that U.S. government employees might normally feel in shooting to kill pregnant women, children and old men. (I’m not making this up. The government’s plan to murder Americans is now right out in the open . . .)

• 

  Target Practice: Kids.

  A government does not push to disarm the American people for no reason.  A government does not buy 1.6 billion bullets for no reason–enough ammo to wage a 7-year war with the American people.

• The Department of Homeland Security does not buy cardboard targets of pregnant women, young mothers and old men for no reason. They are buying these targets because this is who they are training to kill. Keep in mind that DHS “officers” do not take an oath of office, meaning they do not swear any allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. Their only allegiance is to their paycheck and their dangerous sense of power.

Read more: How Much More Evidence Do You Need? DHS Trains to Shoot Pregnant Women, Old Men and Children with Guns

Shoot first, ask questions later, “NO MORE HESITATION” says it all . . . 

de·sen·si·tize

 verb \dē-ˈsen(t)-sə-ˌtīz\

to make emotionally insensitive or callous; specifically: to extinguish an emotional response (as of fear, anxiety, or guilt) to stimuli that formerly induced it.

So, by this definition, they want to make it easier for normally moral people to perpetuate an attack on a group of people that would ordinarily not be their targets.  They don’t want these officers to have hesitation caused by anxiety or guilt before unloading on an “angry” mom or dad at a school.

Lance Armstrong–cheating to get to the top, represents so much of what’s wrong with society today

We sued so many people . . .

Lance Armstrong represents everything that’s wrong with society today. He lied his way to the top, he collected hundreds of millions of dollars by cheating, he bullied and threatened anyone who got in his way, and now in a “confession” to Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong admitted to doping with EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions during ALL his Tour de France races.

Lance Armstrong

“I was a bully” Armstrong now says.

And when Winfrey asked him if he sued one particular whistleblower who tried to go public with Armstrong’s criminal doping behavior, Armstrong’s answer was, “To be honest, we sued so many people.”

Yeah, as in too many victims to even count or remember– a person who doesn’t mind how many other people you have to hurt, threaten, lie to or betray as long as YOU are climbing to the top! (Source)

So, Why Did Lance Armstrong Suddenly Take All the Blame? 

Thomas Weisel

Why now you ask?

Perhaps the US Federal investigation was getting close to exposing the man who bankrolled Lance Armstrong’s drug habits? Perhaps Lance Armstrong’s sudden confession was necessary to distract attention away from the real drug kingpin, the one operating behind the scenes.

Meet Thom Weisel, owner of the holding company, Tailwind, which  financed and managed Lance Armstrong’s cycling team.

Outrageous HSBC Settlement Proves the Drug War is a Joke

Assistant US Attorney General Lanny Breuer

Ramin Talaie/Getty Images

If you’ve ever been arrested on a drug charge, if you’ve ever spent even a day in jail for having a stem of marijuana in your pocket or “drug paraphernalia” in your gym bag, Assistant Attorney General and longtime Bill Clinton pal Lanny Breuer has a message for you: Bite me.

Breuer this week signed off on a settlement deal with the British banking giant HSBC that is the ultimate insult to every ordinary person who’s ever had his life altered by a narcotics charge. Despite the fact that HSBC admitted to laundering billions of dollars for Colombian and Mexican drug cartels (among others) and violating a host of important banking laws (from the Bank Secrecy Act to the Trading With the Enemy Act), Breuer and his Justice Department elected not to pursue criminal prosecutions of the bank, opting instead for a “record” financial settlement of $1.9 billion, which as one analyst noted is about five weeks of income for the bank.

The banks’ laundering transactions were so brazen that the NSA probably could have spotted them from space. Breuer admitted that drug dealers would sometimes come to HSBC’s Mexican branches and “deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, in a single day, into a single account, using boxes designed to fit the precise dimensions of the teller windows.”

Winner of the 2012 US Presidential Election Is . . .

UPDATE Nov. 7, 2012: I was right! . . . but wish I was wrong.

UPDATE Dec. 26, 2012: Barack Obama received more than 99 percent of the vote in more than 100 precincts in Ohio on election day. Ohio was a very important swing state in Obama’s election. Third world dictators don’t even get 99% of the vote. See the key Ohio precinct vote counts here. Lucky coincidence for Obama that he was so popular in those Ohio precincts.

—

A bold prediction about the outcome of the upcoming U.S. election:

I know, for sure, who is going to win.

The winner will be the candidate who is in favor of and supports:

• Going to war with Iran
• Continuation of bankster bailouts
• Continuation of the ongoing legal corporate “donations” and lobbying that pays politicians to be total sellouts
• Increasing the size of government–through more debt, regulation, entitlements, military spending, etc.
• Restriction of liberties, erosion of the Bill of Rights, expansion of police powers, and the growth of Federal power over States Rights
• Continued multi-trillion-dollar debt-based spending, putting the United States into a position of never-ending debt, and possibly economic collapse.

Which candidate is this, you ask?

Romney’s Detailed Plan to Restructure America

Reblogged from: euecon on July 17, 2012

(AP, Washington, D.C.)  Today, the Mitt Romney campaign announced its plans for restructuring America.

Previously, Mitt Romney argued that he had vast business experience, and knew exactly what must be done to restore America. He is now making public more specific plans for achieving this goal.

Drawing upon his vast business experience at Bain Capital, Romney announced that he would do what he does best–sell off some of America’s more unprofitable states and acquire some Asian countries that he considers to be undervalued.

NOT Your Normal Pattern:

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that publicly traded companies must report to the SEC whenever a member of the Board or certain officers resign. Also, the SEC has a database named EDGAR that is open to the public. After a little research, I discovered that corporations must report said resignations on Form 8-K, Item 5.02. From there, it was a simple matter of searching only Form 8-Ks within a specific range of dates, and including the boolean search terms “Resigns” and “Resignation”. (Source)

Media Disinformation Campaigns–yet another example

The media tells us to not pay attention to Ron Paul.

Why? Supposedly because he’s “not electable”.

In February 2012 Mitt Romney held a campaign event at Ford Stadium which didn’t attract enough people to come even close to filling it up (in fact, you could fit Romney’s 1,200 person crowd in the 65,000-seat stadium 54 times over). His campaign scrambled to make the event look as full as possible, but largely failed. Photo via Byron York:

Mitt Romney’s Feb 2012 campaign event at Ford Stadium

In 2000, George W. Bush ran for president saying “I don’t think they ought to be balancing their budget on the backs of the poor.” In 2012, amidst a much worse economy, Romney is running for president saying exactly the opposite. Perhaps that’s why the stadium is empty. (Source: Washington Post)

The Fed is a Privately Held Agency, Completely Independent of US Government–no other agency of government can overrule its actions

.

REPORTER: What is the proper relationship… what should be the proper relationship between a chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States?

GREENSPAN: Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency. And that means basically that, uh, there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in place, and there is no evidence that the administration, the Congress or anybody else is requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate thing, then what the relationships are don’t frankly matter.

[Furthermore, Federal Reserve lawyers have even argued in court that it is "not an agency" of the U.S. federal government.]

It seems America’s bankers are tired of all the abuse.

They’ve decided to speak out.

True, they’re doing it from behind the ropeline, in front of friendly crowds at industry conferences and country clubs, meaning they don’t have to look the rest of America in the eye when they call us all imbeciles and complain that they shouldn’t have to apologize for being so successful.

But while they haven’t yet deigned to talk to protesting America face to face, they are willing to scribble out some complaints on notes and send them downstairs on silver trays. Courtesy of a remarkable story by Max Abelson at Bloomberg, we now get to hear some of those choice comments.

Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus, for instance, is not worried about OWS:

“Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” Marcus said. “Are you kidding me?”

Former New York gurbernatorial candidate Tom Golisano, the billionaire owner of the billing firm Paychex, offered his wisdom while his half-his-age tennis champion girlfriend hung on his arm:

“If I hear a politician use the term ‘paying your fair share’ one more time, I’m going to vomit,” said Golisano, who turned 70 last month, celebrating the birthday with girlfriend Monica Seles, the former tennis star who won nine Grand Slam singles titles.

Why worry? Be happy.

#1 In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth than the bottom 90 percent combined.

#2 According to the Economic Policy Institute, between 1979 and 2007 income growth for the top 1 percent of all U.S. income earners was an astounding 390 percent.  For the bottom 90 percent, income growth was only 5 percent over that same time period.

#3 According to a joint House and Senate report entitled “Income Inequality and the Great Recession“, the top 1 percent of all income earners in the United States brought in a total of 10.0 percent of all income in 1980, but by the time 2008 had rolled around that figure had skyrocketed to 21.0 percent.

#4 According to the Congressional Budget Office, the top 1 percent is the only group that saw its share of our national income increase between 1979 and 2007.

#5 The wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans now own more than a third of all the wealth in the United States.

Students Pepper Sprayed for Protesting the “Death of Public Education”

The signs carried by the demonstrators at Berkeley didn’t say anything about a right to sleep in tents. The signs said, “Re-Fund Education” and “Education shouldn’t be a debt sentence” and “81% fee hikes = death of public education” and, of course, “we are the 99%.” I found only one sign about the tents: “We are not camping. We are assembling peaceably to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” . . . Fighting over the tents is a distraction from the real issues. But who made the tents an issue? It wasn’t the kids—it was the chancellor. UC Berkeley Police Capt. Margo Bennett told the LA Times that the cops attacked and clubbed protesters because “the administration said no tents.” (Source)

Open Letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi

Linda P.B. Katehi,

I am a junior faculty member at UC Davis. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English, and I teach in the Program in Critical Theory and in Science & Technology Studies. I have a strong record of research, teaching, and service. I am currently a Board Member of the Davis Faculty Association. I have also taken an active role in supporting the student movement to defend public education on our campus and throughout the UC system. In a word: I am the sort of young faculty member, like many of my colleagues, this campus needs. I am an asset to the University of California at Davis.

You are not.

I write to you and to my colleagues for three reasons:

1) to express my outrage at the police brutality which occurred against students engaged in peaceful protest on the UC Davis campus today

2) to hold you accountable for this police brutality

3) to demand your immediate resignation

UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi orders police pepper spray of peaceful student protests -- some students hospitalized

Today you ordered police onto our campus to clear student protesters from the quad. These were protesters who participated in a rally speaking out against tuition increases and police brutality on UC campuses on Tuesday—a rally that I organized, and which was endorsed by the Davis Faculty Association. These students attended that rally in response to a call for solidarity from students and faculty who were bludgeoned with batons, hospitalized, and arrested at UC Berkeley last week. In the highest tradition of non-violent civil disobedience, those protesters had linked arms and held their ground in defense of tents they set up beside Sproul Hall. In a gesture of solidarity with those students and faculty, and in solidarity with the national Occupy movement, students at UC Davis set up tents on the main quad. When you ordered police outfitted with riot helmets, brandishing batons and teargas guns to remove their tents today, those students sat down on the ground in a circle and linked arms to protect them.

What happened next?

Without any provocation whatsoever, other than the bodies of these students sitting where they were on the ground, with their arms linked, police pepper-sprayed students. Students remained on the ground, now writhing in pain, with their arms linked.

What happened next?

An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception. Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive.

Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur.

• We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute.
• We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.
• We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite.
• We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening.
• We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air.
• They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.
• The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds.

The Too Big To Fail–just shafted you and me, again

HOLY BAILOUT: Federal Reserve Now Backstopping $75 Trillion in Bank of America’s Derivatives

Posted on October 22, 2011 by Jean; The Daily Bail

This story from Bloomberg just hit the wires [October 19 2011].  Bank of America is shifting derivatives in its Merrill investment banking unit to its depository arm, which has access to the Fed discount window and is protected by the FDIC.

This means that the investment bank’s European derivatives exposure is now backstopped by U.S. taxpayers.  Bank of America didn’t get regulatory approval to do this, they just did it at the request of frightened counterparties.  Now the Fed and the FDIC are fighting as to whether this was sound.  The Fed wants to “give relief” to the bank holding company, which is under heavy pressure.

This is a direct transfer of risk to the taxpayer done by the bank without approval by regulators and without public input.  You will also read below that JP Morgan is apparently doing the same thing with $79 trillion of notional derivatives guaranteed by the FDIC and Federal Reserve.

The unelected evil banker elite have started making our key decisions today. The unelected evil banker elite think they should run things. They are the problem. Unfortunately, US congress has become as impotent as a high school student council. Here’s the bottom line:

Until politicians and media pundits start talking about true economic regime change–shutting down the FED and arresting the evil banker elite, they are irrelevant. Discussing tiny little adjustments at the margin (changing the student council) is a tactic used by the evil banker elite to weaken and slow down the profound changes that are needed. It is just like high school principals who use the student council to dissipate student anger away from themselves by pretending that the student council actually makes a difference–it doesn’t.

Shut down the FED and arrest the evil elite bankers.

The first question we should ask any candidate for President is this: If elected, will you promise to arrest every banker for whom we have probable cause to believe they committed a crime?

If the Answer is Yes, we will listen. But, if the Answer is No, then we ought not to listen as any candidate who does not listen to us is against us and not for us.

This is a non-negotiable issue. If you will not arrest the people who stole tens of trillions of dollars, how will you put an end to Bailouts, Austerity Cuts and Mindless Tax Increases?
