Reports that the war in Afghanistan and occupation of Iraq are now costing us over 1 Trillion dollars are all around. This seems to get people's attention. Yet the day before the impetus to all this Donald Rumsfelt reported that 2.3 TRILLIONcouldn't be accounted for in the defense budget. This of course got little notice after the three buildings collapsed in New York the following day. Part of being a journalist is connecting dots and having a good memory of past events. The Mainstream Media has made a committed effort to not pursue stories that matter. I guess its up to blogs like this to make up the difference.
How is it possible that 2.3 trillion dollars suddenly goes 'poof'? Why are there no investigations? Why do the media allow them to get away with such things?
was lost in Iraq when some complete moron sent in planeloads of cash on skids? Where are these investigations? Why is nobody investigating the cash and weapons that are missing in Iraq? Will the new government after Jan. 20th? Oh forgot, they are looking "forward".
average of 230 billion over ten years, going into black projects or MIC contract malarky, funding assorted illegal projects etc.
Assuming ten years was just a set period for the Pentagon's audit dept to do their study on.
The thing about it is that they couldn't account for where it went, any company that had a hole in their accounts this large would have the DoJ/SEC/IRS/shareholders screaming and descending on them and howling for blood.
In a cruel twist of fate the Pentagon's audit dept was destroyed the very next day, ditto with the Saloman Bros building in NY, ie WTC7 the third tower and home of the SEC's corporate fraud archives.
the records that showed how much money was missing and possibly where it might have gone were destroyed on 9/11. Very conveniently, an "airplane" did a 280 degree banked turn while simultaneously dropping thousands of feet to skim mere feet above the ground and smash into the section of the Pentagon where the records were.
Never mind that the supposed pilot of that "plane" could not even fly a single engine Cessna. When he sat behind the controls of that multi engine jet the skill just suddenly came to him. All at once he was as skilled as the best fighter pilot. And gosh darnit wouldn't you know it, he hit the only part of the building that had been reinforced. Of course had Hani Hanjour continued in a straight flight and hit the Pentagon where he was originally aiming, he would have killed Rumsfeld and the joint cheifs of staff. It was very considerate of Hanjour to circle around and hit the back of the building.
Something else truly amazing happened that day too. The building that had all the records about the Enron and Worldcom thefts, not to mention the details about all those "put options" on AA and United Airlines fell down too. It was truly miraculous, never before had a single steel framed building fallen because of fire. That day 3 of them did. I'll tell you, that Osama is a miracle worker.
I looked on Youtube, couldn't find one there. The only other recourse would be to watch Loose Change. I think that's the film it's mentioned in. I'm not 100% sure though. It might be In Plane Site, possibly. I've seen way too many of those docs.
Here's the complete Channel 4 broadcast of Ahmadinejad's Christmas Message.
For those who do not know, Ahmadinejad was invited to give the "Alternative Christmas Message" - alternative to the Queen's message. The "alternative message" is a tradition, but there was quite a row (how British of me!) over the choice of Ahmadinejad for this year's message.
Worth a listen. In Farsi with English subtitles. The actual message begins at about 2:20.
why should they enjoy peace? they will be so happy when we destroy their country. they will throw rose petals in the streets as we advance. we'll be greeted as liberators. they will embrace limbaugh and coulter. saddleback will replace mecca.
I have suspected so for decades, but without real proof i can not be convinced. It would be nice to get someone to confess. Not a made up confession, but a real confession with irrefutable evidence.
I think what David Swanson, the press secretary for the presidential run of Dennis Kucinich in 2004, implies is much more significant and worthy of investigation. Maybe E. Howard Hunt's confession relays a bit with Swanson's article.
I haven't sorted through the relationships of LBJ, Bush Sr., and E. Howard Hunt's story.
Of course "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" documentary is must see in my opinion, particularly Chapter 9 (The Guilty Men) where Scott McClellan's dad is interviewed.
Just off the top of my head i can recount the Santa Killer, the guy who beat two 12 year olds to death with a baseball bat, The attempted murder of a two year old being thrown out of a moving car, a woman who killed her 8 year old daughter, the ex Utah State Trooper who killed 4 people in Texas and the latest news about a former Basketball Star being killed Christmas Night in Idaho.
Are people that crazed about how special their Christmas is SUPPOSED to be that when it isn't they lose it?
Besides the high expectations, the trampling of people (sometimes to death) to get a consumer item, the sheer gluttony of consumerism masquerading as gift giving what exactly is the point of this holiday? It bears no resemblance to its original intent.
BERLIN (AFP) — Santa beware! Activists in Germany are waging an international campaign to do away with old Father Christmas and say they are gaining ground thanks to the global economic meltdown.
Armed with child-friendly stickers, web-savvy promoters and chocolate figurines, the "Santa-Free Zone" movement says it is gathering steam this year against what it calls the hollow commercialisation of Christmas.
Launched by a German Catholic priest in 2002, the campaign aims to knock Santa off his pedestal and replace what they see as a cheap, American import with the real thing: Saint Nicholas.
"The movement is intended to raise awareness of the fact that the consumption-oriented Santa launched by the Christmas gift industry has very little to do with the holy bishop Saint Nicholas," said Christoph Schommer of the Catholic aid group Bonifatiuswerk, which is rallying the Santa opposition.
...
So are we going to start celebrating the winter solstice (around Dec 24th) , with a pagan fertility symbol (which is what the Christmas tree started as), in order to remember the virgin birth myth of the Egyptian deity Horus (which is the most likely inspiration for the myth of Jesus)?
Not holding my breath on that one, I am sure that what those Christians meant by "original intent" is another way of saying they intend on "regain control of the celebration."
I actually got a hoot about the Pope's Christmas missive, where he accused us of succumbing to the evils of consumerism and gluttony... while at the same time the Ratz bastard was spotting a nice round gut from his steady diet of gourmet dishes, as his words were resonating on the gold filled room.
Seventy-five percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Friday said they're glad Bush is going; 23 percent indicated they'll miss him.
I think emergency educational aid should be rushed to the 23% of our nation's citizens in such desperate need.
We already have the most people in jail on the planet with three million people behind bars. Adding another sixty nine million to our prison population is not what i would consider a solution.
Could the original intent have been to focus on children and otherwise vulnerable, helpless people? Sharing, feeding, comforting the lesser among us?
It is hard to remember the original intent of an ancient Druidic tenet of hospitality, when so many adults (especially powerful ones) are behaving like toddlers jacked on too much sugar and too little sleep.
Would you trust Bushco to not plunder and quietly have sold off the nations gold reserves !?
They and their predecessors have had decades to do so.
Ft Knox is inside an army base with tanks and stuff guarding it, not like it can be inspected by anybody at at time.
And I am sure the neocon economists who said "we don't need gold, faith is all we need", would have pushed for the secret quiet disposal of the gold over the years.
I figure these free and open internets are almost past their expiry date. Information is power, and governments want a monoploy on it. I hope I'm wrong, but look at free speech; in free speech zones, and tasering kids for asking too many questions.
PS We all know who killed the Kennedys, but good luck proving it.
After that person got trampled to death at the WalMart I said "That's enough!" I've been on and off the idea for almost 20 years now and this recent incident did it for me. No more Christmas until the craziness stops. Now I'm not advocating abolition of what can be a reverent and loving celebration. But I have seen too many grumpy, bitchy, competitive examples of the worst of human nature to ever allow me to like this "holiday" ever again.
Today, the 26th, friends put together an impromptu dinner at the house with almost 20 in attendance. Great food and conversation. The kids had a ball, the dogs got worn out by the kids, and everybody left happy. We're thinking of making it an annual thing and christening it the "Thank God That Shit's Over With" Dinner.
Now on to a New Year and a new Prez. Truly: Thank God THAT shit's over with!
When gays and others try to prevent Christians from getting married then you can call them "Christophobes" you Christofascist bigoted SOB http://jed-l.dailykos.com/
Hey Barrack, maybe you can find an unrepentant misogynist to spotlight at the inauguration.
Or an unrepentant racist? I hear David Duke's looking for a speaking engagement.
States are forced to give up on rehabilitating juvenile delinquents. That Santa gun nut was not only divorced, but also a product of Arnie's non-economy. The TVA claims there's more sludge than expected, but that the water is A-OK.
I could speculate on why they even ran this story, but I'll leave it to everyone else's imagination.
The journalistic aspect of it was just as troubling. They consider a rise in the incidence from two cases a year to four cases in a month (no references to the number of cases this year) to be an alarming increase, an recommend a host of changes that need to be made.
who must have lost their passion for the Christmas season.
That's the family that had a member crushed to death by all those merry makers just out for a day of shopping at Wal-Mart.
GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli warplanes and combat helicopters pounded the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing at least 155 people in the bloodiest day for Palestinians in more than 20 years of conflict.
Why do those evil Palestinians continue to sacrifice themselves to Israel? Don't they know how peaceful those Israeli hawks are? They only want everything.
Is to force a peace deal by killing as many as possible. It's a learned trait. See Iraq. See Afghanistan. See Vietnam. See South America. See.........ohhhh say can u see, by the dawn's early light.......Do you suppose all nations take the Xmas "holidays" to thank their troops for killing? I find it to be the ultimate in hypocrisy. "we take this holiday to bless our troops, and gawd bless *insert nation here*
Haven't you learned how governments operate? If a person kills a member of your family, it is genius military strategy to kill his entire municipality! That is how you form democracy. A leader won't listen to you? You invade, bomb the shit outta his nation, and kill and maim as many as you can. That teaches said leader. Democracy in action. You can't get a peace deal with any nation that out bombs you, can out kill you, and can out maim you. Especially when it has a big brother that supports everything you do, and tut-tuts when anyone has the gall to retaliate.
Chip Saltsman (the former campaign manager for Mike Huckabee) defended the choice of the Shanklin CD, telling The Hill: "Paul Shanklin is a long-time friend, and I think that RNC members have the good humor and good sense to recognize that his songs for the Rush Limbaugh show are light-hearted political parodies."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is nothing funny or humorous about racism.
The rightwing is a freakshow! WTF is wrong with these people?
Are they on a lead diet? It would explain a lot if they are.
It's sick that these folks would publicly embrace this hate when they should be RENOUNCING it.
I hope that Obama and the Democratic leadership realize the Cons have no intention of "playing nice" or "playing fair" and reward the Cons by giving them little say or voice in setting public policy.
They truly deserve to be marginalized!
Only the AP and TIME report a deceitfully low death toll to Israels massive and typically dis-proportionate response to petty border disputes in the Gaza. 155 is what they report -compared to everyone else reporting well over 175-200. But Time steps over the line, in my opinion, by accompanying their report with another article written by a Jew, justifying the attack. Or more of that gool ol' American propaganda/journalism
Thanks to the gluttony of weapons bought and paid for with American dollars I'm disgusted with those Americans who continually push us into being Israelis' poodles.
It's worth a sharp note here, to point out again that Americans bear the burdens of both supplying the money and weapons to Israel, as well as the blood of retaliations. Very few Israelis are ever harmed in Israel, due primarily to the Palestinian weaponry - supposedly supplied by the evil Iranians - which are homemade, slow, inaccurate and with little impact and, because Americanized Jews don't let their children enter the service.
So for 2009 I say enough of their big bullying mouths, which continually prove to be more dangerous than any other oppressor. Because unlike the others, the Israelis free reign to unilaterally attack anyone, cross any border and commit any foul attack cause untold damage directly to American families and has contributed to the destruction of our economy. While Israels' economy flourishes.
Our true threat then, the greatest threat to the American people specifically, in 2009, comes not from Iran, the Sudan, Russian or North Korea and not from Chavez or Castro.
It comes from Israel.

There was supposed to be a yearly on camera audit of Fort Knox since I believe the 1950's and there's never been one done, to my knowledge.
