Bailout payout tops $8 trillion
From politico.com - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 By JEANNE CUMMINGS As the holiday season commences, it's worth taking stock of the last gift that President George W. Bush and the 110th Congress have left for U.S. taxpayers. It's a package of about $8.7 trillion dollars' worth of potential taxpayer commitments for loans, guarantees and other bailout goodies for businesses and distressed homeowners. A quote from WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM: That's about $100,000 per household. $100,000 Plus accruing interest. $100,000 $100,000 Sheesh, if that doesn't make you want to riot, crawl in a hole you are already dead!

Federal Reserve sets stage for Weimar-style Hyperinflation
From Global Research - Monday, December 15, 2008 By F. William Engdahl The Federal Reserve has bluntly refused a request by a major US financial news service to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from US taxpayers and to reveal the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral. Their lawyers resorted to the bizarre argument that they did so to protect 'trade secrets.' Is the secret that the US financial system is de facto bankrupt? The latest Fed move is further indication of the degree of panic and lack of clear strategy within the highest ranks of the US financial institutions. Unprecedented Federal Reserve expansion of the Monetary Base in recent weeks sets the stage for a future Weimar-style hyperinflation perhaps before 2010.

Madoff's Ponzi Scheme Dwarfed By Illuminati Rubin's
From Rense.com - Saturday, December 13, 2008 By Henry Makow, PhD The arrest of financier Bernard Madoff Thursday for operating a "Ponzi scheme" costing investors $50 billion made the TV network news. Curiously, a lawsuit the same day against Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin for defrauding Citibank shareholders of more than $122 billion, also described as a "Ponzi scheme," got no airplay whatsoever. As we shall see, Rubin, a Director of Citibank, profited from the shady practices that destroyed the financial system and sent the world's economies into a tailspin. Then, to repair the damage, he and his banker friends put the taxpayer on the hook for trillions.

America Barely Escapes Permanent Economic Enslavement
Tuesday, September 30, 2008 By Your-Rights.com Read, read, READ! If the U.S. Congress had passed that "bail out"... Little does the American public know that they just barely escaped permanent economic enslavement! "Organized crime is now officially legal and combined with the stock and capital markets -- all enforced by force and rigged profits. This is the economic infrastructure for fascism." - Catherine Austin Fitts "Fascism ought more properly be called corporatism because it is the perfect merger of power between the corporation and the state." --Benito Mussolini FYI: Stephen Friedman "has been Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since January 2008. He has been Chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and Chairman of the Intelligence Oversight Board since January 2006. He is also a board member of the Council on Foreign Relations." (Reuters) He also happens to be on the Board of Directors at Goldman Sachs. Also from Goldman Sachs is Henry Merritt "Hank" Paulson Jr., the person behind the failed bail out legislation.

Rules hiding TRILLIONS in American debt: Liability $516,348 per U.S. household - Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Can America seriously afford to bail out the Wall Street Fat Cats in addition to paying off the already overwhelming debt they already owe? America Says NO Bush Bailout! - On September 25th 2008, progressives came together in 251 emergency rallies in 41 states saying NO to the $700 billion Bush corporate bailout for Wall Street. As a result, the tax giveaway, assumed to be a "done deal" only a few days earlier was stalled and being reconsidered by lawmakers who are stunned by the speed and scale of America's reaction. Instead, Congress turned to work on an economic recovery package for Main Street. America Says "NO!" THEY BROKE IT, YOU BUY IT? - George Bush has proposed a Wall Street subsidy that will cost the American people at least $700,000,000,000 to bail out his wealthy investor buddies. That comes out to a TAX of over $2,300 for every man, woman, and child in America. We need to shine a light on any legislator who supports this tax hike to bail out the same Wall Street bankers whose speculation, false accounting, and lies caused this economic catastrophe. And, they need to be held accountable. The Magnitude and Meaning of the Proposed Bailout: What $700 Billion for Wall Street means on Main Street Bailout by Stealth - While the public is distracted by the "bailout bill" and its rejection, TRILLIONS are pumped in to keep financial balloon inflated.

Discovery Channel Televises its Own HIPOCRACY
Wednesday, March 5, 2008 By Your-Rights.com After purchasing the rights to ''Taxi to the Dark Side'', the Discovery Channel stated it WILL NOT TELEVISE the Oscar winning documentary film stating it is to ''CONTROVERSIAL!'' However, the Discovery Channel not only televised, but also produced, a short documentary about the John F. Kennedy assassination because they must somehow believe the John F. Kennedy assassination isn't controversial at all, even though, in every poll taken since this event, at least 50 percent of people who responded to the polls indicated they did not believe the Official conspiracy theory known as the Warren Commission report. (Poll data is from the actual Discovery Channel show.) Not only do they air this ''non-controversial'' show, it is filled full of statements supporting the ''Official Conspiracy Theory'', including many statements from the actors in the show saying they are ''starting to come around'' to believing the propaganda and similar LEADING STATEMENTS. STOP BEING PROGRAMMED BY YOUR TELEVISION! If you aren't sure about what is going on... read about SOCIAL ENGINEERING and PSYOPS, then sit down and do some serious thinking. It's time that you learned the TRUTH!It is interesting how this ''documentary'', a.k.a. propaganda infomercial, conveniently left out any truly inconvenient truths, such as the location of John F. Kennedy's brain or discussing the small hole on the front of Kennedy's head and the large hole in the back and how this could very likely be strong evidence supporting a bullet entering the front of Kennedy's head through the bullet hole in the windshield of the car. They also failed to mention anything about how FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had used Lee Harvey Oswald to infiltrate and spy on CIA operations during the Bay of Pigs or any other motives the CIA may have had to frame Lee Harvey Oswald. This Discovery Channel show focused only on the material which could involve Lee Harvey Oswald. The only ''conspiracy theory'' ideas they showed were only ones that could be easily disproved. It is hard to understand how a person could expect objective reporting of controversial material in a Discovery Channel show when they flat out refuse to air ''Taxi to the Dark Side'', an Oscar winning documentary film, full of objective reporting of ''controversial'' material.

Discovery Channel drops its plans to air documentary about the US military torturing an innocent Afghan taxi driver to death because it's too ''controversial''
From Think Progress - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 By Amanda UPDATED! Taxi to the Dark Side is currently playing in theaters. This may be your only opportunity to see this film. Find movie showtimes for your location on Internet Movie Database, Fandango or Yahoo! Taxi to the Dark Side, a documentary about an innocent Afghan taxi driver tortured to death by U.S. officials at Bagram Air Base, has received wide critical acclaim since its debut in April at the Tribeca Film Festival. The New York Times's A.O. Scott said, "If recent American history is ever going to be discussed with the necessary clarity and ethical rigor, this film will be essential." Apparently, the Discovery Channel bought the rights to this documentary in order to keep it from being broadcast on televison! This is censorship at its finest! Apparently the Discovery Channel is the "See no evil, hear no evil" channel! If a lot of people write letters to the Discovery Channel demanding they broadcast Taxi to the Dark Side, maybe they will change their minds and air this documentary. Here is their address: The Discovery Channel 7700 Wisconsin Avenue Bethesda, MD 20814 (301) 986-0444 RELATED: Democracy NOW! - Discovery Channel Accused of Political Censorship for Dropping Oscar-Nominated Doc on U.S. Torture This article was originally posted on Saturday, February 9, 2008.

Iranian nuclear ambitions are being sponsored by... the United States State Department
From Crooks and Liars - Friday, February 8, 2008 By Nicole Belle Apparently, our tax dollars are going to fund a Russian nuclear lab (why?) that is in turn, working with the Iranians. The subtext is that the Russians are helping the Iranians develop a nuclear weapons program, NIE Report be damned. However, it would be interesting to know why the US continues to fund nuclear technology development in Russia.

CFR - The Secret Government and the Federal Reserve
From YouTUBE - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 Does any of this sound familiar to what is happening today? The Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor a Reserve. Owned by a corrupt group of International Bankers, it is a privately owned monopoly, largely responsible for creating America's National Debt. It is also a parasitic and unnecessary entity that literally creates American currency out of nothing and then collects interest on the backs of taxpayers for doing so.

The War as We Saw It (from the troops in Iraq)
From The New York Times - Sunday, August 19, 2007 By Op-Ed Contributors -- BUDDHIKA JAYAMAHA, WESLEY D. SMITH, JEREMY ROEBUCK, OMAR MORA, EDWARD SANDMEIER, YANCE T. GRAY and JEREMY A. MURPHY Baghdad VIEWED from Iraq at the tail end of a 15-month deployment, the political debate in Washington is indeed surreal. Counterinsurgency is, by definition, a competition between insurgents and counterinsurgents for the control and support of a population. To believe that Americans, with an occupying force that long ago outlived its reluctant welcome, can win over a recalcitrant local population and win this counterinsurgency is far-fetched. As responsible infantrymen and noncommissioned officers with the 82nd Airborne Division soon heading back home, we are skeptical of recent press coverage portraying the conflict as increasingly manageable and feel it has neglected the mounting civil, political and social unrest we see every day. (Obviously, these are our personal views and should not be seen as official within our chain of command.) The claim that we are increasingly in control of the battlefields in Iraq is an assessment arrived at through a flawed, American-centered framework. Yes, we are militarily superior, but our successes are offset by failures elsewhere. What soldiers call the "battle space" remains the same, with changes only at the margins. It is crowded with actors who do not fit neatly into boxes: Sunni extremists, Al Qaeda terrorists, Shiite militiamen, criminals and armed tribes. This situation is made more complex by the questionable loyalties and Janus-faced role of the Iraqi police and Iraqi Army, which have been trained and armed at United States taxpayers' expense. A few nights ago, for example, we witnessed the death of one American soldier and the critical wounding of two others when a lethal armor-piercing explosive was detonated between an Iraqi Army checkpoint and a police one. Local Iraqis readily testified to American investigators that Iraqi police and Army officers escorted the triggermen and helped plant the bomb. These civilians highlighted their own predicament: had they informed the Americans of the bomb before the incident, the Iraqi Army, the police or the local Shiite militia would have killed their families. As many grunts will tell you, this is a near-routine event. Reports that a majority of Iraqi Army commanders are now reliable partners can be considered only misleading rhetoric. The truth is that battalion commanders, even if well meaning, have little to no influence over the thousands of obstinate men under them, in an incoherent chain of command, who are really loyal only to their militias. Similarly, Sunnis, who have been underrepresented in the new Iraqi armed forces, now find themselves forming militias, sometimes with our tacit support. Sunnis recognize that the best guarantee they may have against Shiite militias and the Shiite-dominated government is to form their own armed bands. We arm them to aid in our fight against Al Qaeda. However, while creating proxies is essential in winning a counterinsurgency, it requires that the proxies are loyal to the center that we claim to support. Armed Sunni tribes have indeed become effective surrogates, but the enduring question is where their loyalties would lie in our absence. The Iraqi government finds itself working at cross purposes with us on this issue because it is justifiably fearful that Sunni militias will turn on it should the Americans leave. In short, we operate in a bewildering context of determined enemies and questionable allies, one where the balance of forces on the ground remains entirely unclear. (In the course of writing this article, this fact became all too clear: one of us, Staff Sergeant Murphy, an Army Ranger and reconnaissance team leader, was shot in the head during a "time-sensitive target acquisition mission" on Aug. 12; he is expected to survive and is being flown to a military hospital in the United States.) While we have the will and the resources to fight in this context, we are effectively hamstrung because realities on the ground require measures we will always refuse -- namely, the widespread use of lethal and brutal force. Given the situation, it is important not to assess security from an American-centered perspective. The ability of, say, American observers to safely walk down the streets of formerly violent towns is not a resounding indicator of security. What matters is the experience of the local citizenry and the future of our counterinsurgency. When we take this view, we see that a vast majority of Iraqis feel increasingly insecure and view us as an occupation force that has failed to produce normalcy after four years and is increasingly unlikely to do so as we continue to arm each warring side. Coupling our military strategy to an insistence that the Iraqis meet political benchmarks for reconciliation is also unhelpful. The morass in the government has fueled impatience and confusion while providing no semblance of security to average Iraqis. Leaders are far from arriving at a lasting political settlement. This should not be surprising, since a lasting political solution will not be possible while the military situation remains in constant flux. The Iraqi government is run by the main coalition partners of the Shiite-dominated United Iraqi Alliance, with Kurds as minority members. The Shiite clerical establishment formed the alliance to make sure its people did not succumb to the same mistake as in 1920: rebelling against the occupying Western force (then the British) and losing what they believed was their inherent right to rule Iraq as the majority. The qualified and reluctant welcome we received from the Shiites since the invasion has to be seen in that historical context. They saw in us something useful for the moment. Now that moment is passing, as the Shiites have achieved what they believe is rightfully theirs. Their next task is to figure out how best to consolidate the gains, because reconciliation without consolidation risks losing it all. Washington's insistence that the Iraqis correct the three gravest mistakes we made -- de-Baathification, the dismantling of the Iraqi Army and the creation of a loose federalist system of government -- places us at cross purposes with the government we have committed to support. Political reconciliation in Iraq will occur, but not at our insistence or in ways that meet our benchmarks. It will happen on Iraqi terms when the reality on the battlefield is congruent with that in the political sphere. There will be no magnanimous solutions that please every party the way we expect, and there will be winners and losers. The choice we have left is to decide which side we will take. Trying to please every party in the conflict -- as we do now -- will only ensure we are hated by all in the long run. At the same time, the most important front in the counterinsurgency, improving basic social and economic conditions, is the one on which we have failed most miserably. Two million Iraqis are in refugee camps in bordering countries. Close to two million more are internally displaced and now fill many urban slums. Cities lack regular electricity, telephone services and sanitation. "Lucky" Iraqis live in gated communities barricaded with concrete blast walls that provide them with a sense of communal claustrophobia rather than any sense of security we would consider normal. In a lawless environment where men with guns rule the streets, engaging in the banalities of life has become a death-defying act. Four years into our occupation, we have failed on every promise, while we have substituted Baath Party tyranny with a tyranny of Islamist, militia and criminal violence. When the primary preoccupation of average Iraqis is when and how they are likely to be killed, we can hardly feel smug as we hand out care packages. As an Iraqi man told us a few days ago with deep resignation, "We need security, not free food." In the end, we need to recognize that our presence may have released Iraqis from the grip of a tyrant, but that it has also robbed them of their self-respect. They will soon realize that the best way to regain dignity is to call us what we are -- an army of occupation -- and force our withdrawal. Until that happens, it would be prudent for us to increasingly let Iraqis take center stage in all matters, to come up with a nuanced policy in which we assist them from the margins but let them resolve their differences as they see fit. This suggestion is not meant to be defeatist, but rather to highlight our pursuit of incompatible policies to absurd ends without recognizing the incongruities. We need not talk about our morale. As committed soldiers, we will see this mission through. Buddhika Jayamaha is an Army specialist. Wesley D. Smith is a sergeant. Jeremy Roebuck is a sergeant. Omar Mora is a sergeant.

Feds bust gaming "pirates" - U.S. federal agents raided more than 30 homes and businesses, seeking modded gaming consoles and console chips
From Global Gaming (GGL) - Friday, August 3, 2007 U.S. federal agents raided more than 30 homes and businesses, seeking modded gaming consoles and console chips. An underground of hobbyists and illegal businesses produces the mods, which allow console owners to play region-coded video games. Machines seized in the raids include allegedly-modified PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii consoles. To paraphrase this action: "Illicit devices like the ones targeted today are created with one purpose in mind, protecting fair use. These so-called crimes cost legitimate businesses 'billions' of imaginary dollars annually and facilitate multiple other layers of 'criminality,' such as hacking, remixing and game mods. As the U.S. government, we believe that corporations' poorly thought-out and outmoded business plans should be enforced as the law; just because you bought something doesn't mean you can enjoy it any way you wish. Suck it, taxpayers." Here is just an example of the many legitimate uses of hardware hacking: Linux-equipped PS3 to be used in DARPA Urban Challenge Read More [ permalink ] |

ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Official Release - Part 1 of 3 : "The Greatest Story Ever Told" ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Official Release - Part 2 of 3 : "All The World's A Stage" ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Official Release - Part 3 of 3 : "Don't mind the men behind the curtain" The types of things mentioned in this movie have happened throughout history many times. Read about social engineering and social control and you will see what I mean. Any real historian or sociologist could probably cite many references without having to do any research. For example: Not to long ago almost everyone believed the world was flat. Those who believed the world was flat thought people who believed the world was round were absolutely nuts. Today we know who the real nuts were. However, if you think about it, they really weren't nuts, they just believed the common myth which they "knew" had to be true. Keep that in mind while you watch this movie. People are finally starting to see the light thanks to movies such as this one. The majority of the information contained in this movie is already well documented in many other documentaries which also provide many, many sources. What is great about this movie in particular is that it gives you all of this info in one source. You can find the truth if you are willing to look. Here are many references for someone who is willing to learn:
The following text is a letter I recieved from the producer of this movie: Friends, The final version of Zeitgeist is now online and can be found here: Google Video 5547481422995115331 The new version has had its intro trimmed to be more generally accessible; Part 1 has a few corrections and also a few ideas expanded upon/clarified; Part 2 has been cleaned up graphically with a few small new points included; Part 3 has had its audio improved, typos corrected and some other subtle adjustments. For those of you who have embedded the prior version into web pages or have uploaded it to You Tube, Please make the update whenever possible. All the holes in the prior version have been filled. The old version on Google video will be deleted eventually. In the past 2 weeks that Zeitgeist has been online it has received around 250,000 views including its parts. I am very happy with this response, and even more happy with the 100s of intelligent, thoughtful and hopeful emails I have gotten from people. I appreciate everyone's expressions, input, suggestions... and, in a few cases, even apprehension regarding the work. *** I would like to say one thing in regards to a continual comment/question I am getting, and that is: "What do we do now?" Step One: REALIZE FEAR IS AN ILLUSION which is a tool perpetuated by religion and the political system to keep societies under control. Don't worry about "the government watching you" or any of the general bullying tactics used to keep people from rising up. Ask questions, get in the way, and don't back down in your march to know the truth about EVERYTHING. The pursuit of true and the processes of understanding/realization is the only true religion. As an aside, if you are not familiar with Ed & Elaine Brown who are currently in a stand off with the authorities due to the Income tax fraud, you should be. They have asked for one thing "Show us the law that says we have to pay the income tax on our wages, and we will pay". The government can't show the law because there isn't one. I strongly suggest everyone support the Browns. They are setting a precedent that needs to be seen and heard nation wide. *** Step Two: EDUCATE YOURSELF The mainstream media is the 4th branch of the US Government and they are going to tow the political line. Granted, they can't control everyone in their structure, but the major headlines/features you see in the major newspapers and on networks have been filtered by agents of the corporate/political elite. All major news agencies have top brass belonging to the Council on Foreign Relations. If you are not familiar with the history and agenda of the socialist power house known as the Council on Foreign Relations, I suggest a book called "The Shadows of Power" by James Perloff. This group is the hidden arm behind American Foreign policy and they seek nothing less than the total destruction of the American Republic and the creation of a socialist system / world government. *** Step Three: EDUCATE OTHERS Create a website/ myspace/ have email lists/call into radio shows, etc. Don't be afraid to engage people, old and young in this points. Talk to your family. Get some of the many DVDs out there on the subjects and copy them and pass them out. I, for one, will be at Ground Zero on Sept 11th with the NY 911 Truth Movement to help educate the public and 'get in the way' of the media coverage who has almost totally ignored the work of the movement. *** Final Point: The 2 dominant motto's used in the game by those who wish to manipulate and control is 1) Divide and Conquer 2) Order out of Chaos -Divide and Conquer- They try to get people at odds with each other in order to keep people distracted and to prevent unity. The duality put forth by religion, exploited by governments, in the general form of GOOD vs EVIL, is a farce. There is no good- There is no evil. There are only degrees of operating "with the current of nature" or "against the current of nature" and when you understand that the 'collective consciousness' is no different in structure than your 'personal consciousness' in that the whole of the species undergoes social 'conflicts of interest', just as an individual battles personal 'conflicts of interests'(pertaining to arrogance/stubbornness/ poor temperaments, etc) you can understand that the battle against the Elite is a macrocosm of your own PERSONAL internal battle dealing with your own misguided feelings of superiority, arrogance and the like. Therefor, change in many ways starts with increased self-awareness and thus the removal of the ego based elitism that we all at one time or another share. No one is better then anyone else. Period. We are all the same. We are also One. - Order out of Chaos- This is simple. They create problems, instill unrest, then push forward their agenda disguised as a change in the best interest of the public. 911; Katrina; the War on Drugs:; Global Warming; Terrorism in general, Iraqi insurgents, Immigration, Inflation... are all used to whatever advantage they can muster up. The more real or fabricated problems that arise, the faster the elite can reposition power. [I.E. After WW1, we had the "League of Nations". After WWII, we had the United Nations; After WWIII, we will likely have a full on One World Government.] In my opinion, the criminal elements behind the US/UK administration want nothing less than World War, as it will be the ultimate "shake up" of things to get their agenda into full swing. *** I want to thank ALL of you for your interest. I am working to clean up the final digital transcript so those of you who offered to translate it into other languages will have it soon. For those whose emails I have not answered yet- I will get to them, I promise. I will have dvds by request fairly soon. I will keep everyone posted on things. thanks again. Peter J.

Internet Doomsday Creeps Closer - Big government pushes for total taxation and restriction on the last great outpost of free speech
From infowars.com - Wednesday, June 6, 2007 By Steve Watson SUPER IMPORTANT: Tell the FCC to Save the Internet from Dictatorship! Monday, July 16, is the LAST DAY to tell the FCC your story!!! Recent proposals in the U.S. Congress are taking a huge swipe at freedom in America once again by aiming to impose multiple different forms of crippling taxation and restriction on users of the internet. Several bills were introduced last week that could see all manner of new forms of internet taxation become a reality before the end of the year. Make no mistake, the internet, one of the greatest outposts of free speech ever created is under constant attack by powerful people who cannot operate within a society where information flows freely and unhindered. Both American and European moves mimic stories we hear every week out of State Controlled Communist China, where the internet is strictly regulated and virtually exists as its own entity away from the rest of the web. The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate their populations under a surveillance panopticon prison.

Rules 'hiding' TRILLIONS in American debt: Liability $516,348 per U.S. household
From USA Today - Tuesday, May 29, 2007 By Dennis Cauchon Updated 2007-06-25 From the article: The federal government recorded a $1.3 trillion loss in 2006 -- far more than the official $248 billion deficit -- when corporate-style accounting standards are used, a USA TODAY analysis shows. The loss reflects a continued deterioration in the finances of Social Security and government retirement programs for civil servants and military personnel. The loss -- equal to $11,434 per household -- is more than Americans paid in income taxes in 2006. Bottom line: Taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 TRILLION in liabilities, a 2.3% increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household. By comparison, U.S. households owe an average of $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and all other debt combined. Your-Rights.com Opinion: Say GOOD BYE to Social Security! "The White House and the Congressional Budget Office oppose the change, arguing that the programs are not true liabilities because government can cancel or cut them." quoted from the article.This IS their plan, to put the U.S. Government so far into debt that they can't possibly have any social programs such as Social Security, Medicare, etc! All this is going on while Bush gives major tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and spends around a TRILLION dollars on his wars! SERIOUSLY, don't you think it's time to IMPEACH?! How much more are Americans going to tolerate?! See MAXED OUT for more info! See also, Economic Armageddon Is Coming Read More [ permalink ] |

Blowing the Whistle on Big Oil - Gov't Corruption Suspected
From The New York Times - Sunday, December 3, 2006 By EDMUND L. ANDREWS Your-Rights.com Editor's Comments: This is a great in-depth article about how former U.S. Interior Department auditor, Bobby L. Maxwell, stands to gain millions by blowing the whistle on Big Oil. He was basically fired after helping uncover how big oil companies have failed to pay the U.S. Government up to almost 7 BILLION dollars in unpaid royalties! Officials at the Interior department, both past and present, say the Bush administration made increasing drilling and mining one of the departments top priorities. Interior department Officials were told to reduce the time spent doing audits. As a result of this new policy, enforcement revenue decreased sharply. "We were getting shut down on all kinds of cases," said Maxwell. What are the chances, that while Big Oil made record profits, they properly paid the royalties they owed? Did Big Oil all of a sudden step up their own internal auditing and make sure the royalties owed were properly paid? Possibly, but everyone knows that the bottom line, a.k.a. GREED, is the driving factor. Which is more profitable, paying royalties or trying to cheat the government? The moral of this story? It PAYS to blow the whistle, in this case in the millions!!! If you know of something that just isn't right, it might be time to take a deep breath and dig out your whistle!!! Your-Rights.com FULLY supports Mr. Maxwell making millions off of exposing corruption! While he may make millions, it's taxpayers who will be indirectly reimbursed by the oil companies having to cough up the potential BILLIONS they owe the Government! The only bad thing about this... Companies are trying to settle out of court. No trials, no exposure of the corruption! This needs to be investigated further! Fortunately, the GAO has been ordered to look into this matter. Hopefully, they will be able to sidestep the politics and do a good job. Who's involved in this story? Exxon Mobil (Wow, hard to guess that one, right?), Chevron, Shell and ConocoPhillips, among others. Read More [ permalink ] |

How will you feel election night?
From People For the American Way (PFAW) - Sunday, November 5, 2006 By Ralph G. Neas, President Once Tuesday has come and gone, are you going to feel like you did everything you could to make Election Day count? To protect voters from 11th hour scare tactics and intimidation... To staff volunteers at polling places across the country to help voters navigate new voting procedures and identification requirements. . . To monitor and record voting problems with the Election Protection hotline (1-866-OUR VOTE), fully staffed with lawyers and other volunteers... Your tax-deductible gift to People For the American Way Foundation now can do all that and more... and it's not too late to make a difference. If you've been waiting for the time to give, that time is now! And if you've already given, it's time to pitch in again for our last minute efforts. PFAW Foundation and its EP partners, including the NAACP and LCCRUL, are working non-stop from here until Election Day, just three short days from now. On Election Day, our non-partisan Election Protection team will be on the ground in 16 states, with call centers in eight locations where lawyers and other volunteers will help voters overcome any obstacles put in their way. Our volunteers at the polls will hand out the "Voters' Bill of Rights" and put voters in touch with local attorneys if they're needed. And our Election Incident Reporting System (EIRS) will record voting problems phoned in from around the country. With more voters casting votes on electronic machines than ever before, we'll be looking for and documenting problems with electronic machines to help us mount a campaign to ensure every American votes on a verifiable and accountable machine by 2008. Plus, we're running radio ads in key states RIGHT NOW to encourage EVERY citizen to vote. All these critical efforts require tremendous resources. And it's not too late to help. Thanks to the power of instant online communications, you still have time to expand our efforts on Tuesday. Whatever you can give today, I can put to work today. Our last few national elections have shown just how vulnerable our election system is -- just how far our opponents will go to suppress voter participation - and just how critical a difference it can make for our country. This is a critical election for our country, and it's more important than ever for Americans to go to the polls and make sure their voices are heard. Please dig deep right now to support People For the American Way Foundation's election efforts. Whatever the final results, you'll feel good knowing that you did everything you could to ensure every citizen's right to vote. Thank you for support. Sincerely, Ralph G. Neas, President People For the American Way Foundation Read More [ permalink ] |

Poisoning U.S. Troops: Anthrax, Lies and Vaccines
From guerrilla news network - Wednesday, October 18, 2006 By Heather Wokusch The U.S. Defense Department quietly announced on Monday that mandatory anthrax vaccinations would resume for military personnel and civilians deploying to 28 countries across the globe and even for some based in the U.S. The vaccine scandal is yet another case of well-connected companies cashing in on non-competitive governmental contracts. The firm responsible for producing the military's anthrax vaccine, for example, has continued to receive hundreds of millions of Pentagon dollars despite being racked with mismanagement and production problems. BioPort Corp didn't even have FDA approval for its vaccine plant from 1998-2002, but continued pumping out unusable batches at taxpayer expense regardless. Service members appropriately point to lack of anthrax risk as further justification for refusing the vaccine. Airman Jessica Horjus, for example, ended her military career in 2004 with a less-than-honorable discharge rather than being inoculated. She wrote the appellate authority at her Air Force base in Goldsboro, North Carolina, "There is no evidence that stockpiles of anthrax exist in |
