    New jobs numbers are out but don't be fooled by the drop in unemployment to 8.6 percent.  More than half of that is people leaving the labor force entirely.  Discouraged workers.  People who have given up looking.  This is the U3 number.  Still, unemployment has not  been this high for this long since monthly unemployment records began in 1948.
     Meanwhile, the MF Global plot thickens.  Now that the firm has collapsed regulators are considering new rules restricting the use of customer money for brokerages.  Now, the regulator, the commodities futures trading commission (CFTC( wanted to finish the new rules earlier this year but was delayed.  Why?  Heavy lobbying from MF Global chief executive Jon Corzine!
     So, with all of the problems in the world today, how do people begin to think about, let alone implement solutions that can improve their lives and those of others in society?   Economists like Steve Keen support debt jubilees, others like Lew Rockwell and Ron Paul support sound money as the solution, but what about something more radical?  What about getting grid of money, profit and competition all together?
     Well, Peter Joseph, author of the Zeitgeist series, believes that society can evolve to do just that.  He joins us during the show to talk about the role of debt, the monetary system, and social norms that encourage what he views as inefficient and destructive behavior that does more harm for society than good.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, - May 2011 before the U.S. Congress

Benjamin Netanyahu agrees with Ron Paul that Israel can take care of herself.
     "My friends, you don't need to do nation building in Israel. We're already built. You don't need to export democracy to Israel. We've already got it. You don't need to send American troops to defend Israel. We defend ourselves."
     Mainstream media would like all of us to believe that Ron Paul's views on foreign policy are out of touch with reality, that he is crazy and his ideas dangerous.  The truth is... Ron Paul's foreign policy views are very much in line with the rest of the world.  Take a look at the video and judge for yourself... Ron Paul and Benjamin Netanyahu agree - Israel can defend itself!

"For liberals, it's ever and always our fault.  According to this worldview, if we didn't support Israel, if we weren't involved in the Middle East, if we'd hadn't toppled the Taliban regime and Saddam's thugocracy, today, al-Qa'ida suicide bombers would be waving little American flags while bin Laden sang 'Yankee Doodle Dandy'." -- Don Feder, Citizen"

     P.S. Note too that about 40% of Congress are millionaires.  Why isn't the 'Occupy Wall Street' loons not surrounding the White House and the Capitol?  From CNN, 4Nov11: "You've heard the saying: "The rich get richer?"  Perhaps nowhere in America is that better illustrated than the U.S. Congress.  Capitol Hill's newspaper, Roll Call, crunched the numbers and found that the net worth of all members of Congress rose an astounding 25% over the past couple of years.  Roll Call found that 40% of Congress  – 219 members- are millionares.  That's an average net worth of 3.8 million dollars per lawmaker."

    o'The Son of Africa, Claims a Continent's Crown Jewels (by John Pilger, Global Research, 20Oct11)

    From: kd Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Subject: John Pilger: Obama, The Son of Africa, Claims a Continent's Crown Jewels
    This is an interesting piece.  If obama really gave a darn for the United States it would make sense but since he does not it makes you wonder.  Remember he has a different agenda and spreading out the services, spending more blood and treasure does make sense.  And of course he has familial ties to Africa..KD

    Obama, The Son of Africa, Claims a Continent's Crown Jewels
    By John Pilger
    Global Research, October 20, 2011
         On 14 October, President Barack Obama announced he was sending United States special forces troops to Uganda to join the civil war there. In the next few months, US combat troops will be sent to South Sudan, Congo and Central African Republic. They will only "engage" for "self-defence", says Obama, satirically. With Libya secured, an American invasion of the African continent is under way.
         Obama's decision is described in the press as "highly unusual" and "surprising", even "weird". It is none of these things. It is the logic of American foreign policy since 1945. Take Vietnam. The priority was to halt the influence of China, an imperial rival, and "protect" Indonesia, which President Nixon called "the region's richest hoard of natural resources ...the greatest prize". Vietnam merely got in the way; and the slaughter of more than three million Vietnamese and the devastation and poisoning of their land was the price of America achieving its goal. Like all America's subsequent invasions, a trail of blood from Latin America to Afghanistan and Iraq, the rationale was usually "self defence" or "humanitarian", words long emptied of their dictionary meaning.
         In Africa, says Obama, the "humanitarian mission" is to assist the government of Uganda defeat the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which "has murdered, raped and kidnapped tens of thousands of men, women and children in central Africa". This is an accurate description of the LRA, evoking multiple atrocities administered by the United States, such as the bloodbath in the 1960s following the CIA-arranged murder of Patrice Lumumba, the Congolese independence leader and first legally elected prime minister, and the CIA coup that installed Mobutu Sese Seko, regarded as Africa's most venal tyrant.
         Obama's other justification also invites satire. This is the "national security of the United States". The LRA has been doing its nasty work for 24 years, of minimal interest to the United States. Today, it has fewer than 400 fighters and has never been weaker. However, US "national security" usually means buying a corrupt and thuggish regime that has something Washington wants. Uganda's "president-for-life" Yoweri Museveni already receives the larger part of $45 million in US military "aid" – including Obama's favourite drones. This is his bribe to fight a proxy war against America's latest phantom Islamic enemy, the rag-tag al Shabaab group based in Somalia. The RTA will play a public relations role, distracting western journalists with its perennial horror stories.
         However, the main reason the US is invading Africa is no different from that which ignited the Vietnam war. It is China. In the world of self-serving, institutionalised paranoia that justifies what General David Petraeus, the former US commander and now CIA director, implies is a state of perpetual war, China is replacing al-Qaeda as the official American "threat". When I interviewed Bryan Whitman, an assistant secretary of defence at the Pentagon last year, I asked him to describe the current danger to America. Struggling visibly, he repeated, "Asymmetric threats ... asymmetric threats". These justify the money-laundering state-sponsored arms conglomerates and the biggest military and war budget in history.  With Osama bin Laden airbrushed, China takes the mantle.
         Africa is China's success story. Where the Americans bring drones and destabilisation, the Chinese bring roads, bridges and dams. What they want is resources, especially fossil fuels. With Africa's greatest oil reserves, Libya under Muammar Gaddafi was one of China's most important sources of fuel. When the civil war broke out and NATO backed the "rebels" with a fabricated story about Gaddafi planning "genocide" in Benghazi, China evacuated its 30,000 workers in Libya. The subsequent UN security council resolution that allowed the west's "humanitarian intervention" was explained succinctly in a proposal to the French government by the "rebel" National Transitional Council, disclosed last month in the newspaper Liberation, in which France was offered 35 per cent of Libya's gross national oil production "in exchange" (the term used) for "total and permanent" French support for the NTC. Running up the Stars and Stripes in "liberated" Tripoli last month, US ambassador Gene Cretz blurted out: "We know that oil is the jewel in the crown of Libyan natural resources!"
    The de facto conquest of Libya by the US and its imperial partners heralds a modern version of the "scramble for Africa" at the end of the 19th century.
         Like the "victory" in Iraq, journalists have played a critical role in dividing Libyans into worthy and unworthy victims. A recent Guardian front page carried a photograph of a terrified "pro-Gaddafi" fighter and his wild-eyed captors who, says the caption, "celebrate". According to General Petraeus, there is now a war "of perception ... conducted continuously through the news media".
         For more than a decade the US has tried to establish a command on the continent of Africa, AFRICOM, but has been rebuffed by governments, fearful of the regional tensions this would cause. Libya, and now Uganda, South Sudan and Congo, provide the main chance. As WikiLeaks cables and the US National Strategy for Counter-terrorism reveal, American plans for Africa are part of a global design in which 60,000 special forces, including death squads, already operate in 75 countries, soon to be 120. As Dick Cheney pointed out in his 1990s "defence strategy" plan, America simply wishes to rule the world.
         That this is now the gift of Barack Obama, the "Son of Africa", is supremely ironic. Or is it? As Frantz Fanon explained in Black Skin, White Masks, what matters is not so much the colour of your skin as the power you serve and the millions you betray.

    We Still Have the Power to Save This Country and Our Rights As Citizens

    Opinions From Tea Party's Secret Blogger

    We Still Have The Power

    The States Have the Constitutional Power to Pass Legislation Prescribing Presidential Ballot Access Requirements Including Determining Whether a Candidate Meets the Eligibility Requirements of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5
         I am so excited about the http://www.teaparty.org blog.  It's wonderful.  It's great.  It brings hope.  Why you ask?
         First I have to tell you this put a huge ole smile on my face and joy in my heart and I bet you're asking why?
         1. What is says is Obama doesn't stand a chance against the law suits that can be brought against him in each State.  It describes what and how we came from using the term Natural Born Citizen to Citizen and what the Constitution and Courts have upheld in regards to those terms.
         2. It means that the rules that apply to the President and Vice President also apply to the House of Representatives and Senate.
         3. It means that the States all have the right to pass laws requiring long form birth certificate proof of citizenship for those offices.
         4. It also clarifies the intentions of the Constitution to what a Citizen is and that illegal aliens that come here and have their babies, those babies are not automatically Citizens and are not automatically eligible to our rights and privileges as the Feds would have us believe.
         5. It means that if your City, and Counties or what name you use for your local governing bodies, have stipulations in their requirements for people running for your Mayor, City Council, Sheriff, School Board members, County boards etc. any office that is held by an elected or appointed position, that they are to be citizens of the United States are all subject to question. :)
         At least that's what I get out of it.....I'm not a constitutional wiz or a lawyer, but to me that's what if means.
         Then guys and gals we have to go to work big time.  Time is running out.  Join the Tea Party to learn how to become an activist.  We should be ready to fight.  If we come together and work as one group.
         It doesn't matter if we all don't agree on every single issue.
         The most important thing we have to agree on is to
    SAVE THIS COUNTRY AND OUR RIGHTS AS CITIZENS SO OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN CAN ENJOY THEM AND THE FREEDOMS AS WE HAVE.  "GOD BLESS AMERICA" [END OF BLOG POSTING]    [COMMAND CENTER]

    He's going to use for money.
    Don't worry, bub, there's not a hitch

    In this here noble plan

    He simply soaks the filthy rich

    And helps the common man.

    Biden Likes Taliban? (NewsMax, 19Dec11)

    This guy is next in line? - rfh
    From: Newsmax.com  Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 Subject: Biden Likes Taliban?
    Vice President Joe Biden said today that the Taliban is not an enemy of the United States -- in what some have characterized as the latest in a long string of VP gaffes.
         "The Taliban, per se, is not our enemy," Biden told Newsweek, for an article published today.  "There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests.
         "If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us."
         But President Barack Obama has said that the Taliban was complicit in protecting Osama bin Laden while the United States spent most of the past 10 years looking for him, according to his May 2 statement posted on the White House website.
         "We've disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.  In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al-Qaida safe haven and support," the president said in his address to the nation following the killing of the al-Qaida leader. 
         "And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al-Qaida terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot," the president added.
         Biden went on to tell Newsweek that the United States should continue to put pressure on al-Qaida to diminish its presence, while helping Afghanistan's government reach a position to negotiate with the Taliban — but not be overthrown by it.
         "And at the same time, try to get the Taliban to move in the direction to see to it that they, through reconciliation, commit not to be engaged with al-Qaida or any other organization that they would harbor to do damage to us and our allies," Biden said.

    Today the House version of the Internet Censorship Act is being marked up in the House Judiciary Committee. 
    The pressure we've put on Congress to say NO to Internet censorship is working. The House is now considering lots of amendments to improve the legislation. Thanks to our efforts and the work of a broad coalition of organizations, the Senate now won't consider its version until next year.
    Rep. John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, needs to vote NO on this legislation. He was an early supporter of the bill, and continues to back it. But the more calls he receives today from the progressive community, the more likely we will be to change his position.

    Sign the Petition!
         As soon as this week, Congress will start debating whether to give the government the power to turn off parts of the Internet. If that sounds like a terrible recipe for abuse of power, that's because it is.
    If enacted, a new law would make it so a simple allegation of copyright infringement—with no review process—could lead to the shutdown of sites from YouTube to Wikipedia to MoveOn.org.1 Any website, foreign or U.S.-based, could be wiped out on suspicion and made unavailable to everyone in the world.
    For example, if you (or Justin Bieber) wanted to post a video to YouTube of yourself singing a Beatles song, a record company could force the Department of Justice to shut down YouTube. Really.2
    But as you may have guessed, Congress didn't come up with this tragically terrible idea on their own. Lobbyists representing Comcast, Pfizer, record and movie companies, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce3 have been pushing Democrats and Republicans to pass bills to allow this new kind of Internet censorship. And they're close to getting their way.
    But a small number of Democrats are standing strong and saying "No" to these powerful special interest groups. They need our help.
    Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon is one of our champions. He has promised to start a historic filibuster of the Internet Censorship Act where he'll read the names of every person that signs a petition against Internet censorship.4 It's the perfect opportunity for 5 million Internet-connected progressives to visibly add their voice to a Senate debate. The more of us that sign, the stronger this effort to block this terrible law will be.
    We know that the Internet's openness, freedom, and lack of censorship are what make it a bastion of infinite possibility, continued innovation, and job creation. Innovative companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Mozilla, and Yahoo have spoken out against this law, saying: 
    We should not jeopardize a foundational structure that has worked for content owners and Internet companies alike and provides certainty to innovators with new ideas for how people create, find, discuss, and share information lawfully online.5
    Internet venture capitalists say that the legislation is "ripe for abuse,"6 and leading law professors reject it because it will "allow the government to block Internet access to websites."7
    We condemn censorship overseas when it happens in China or Iran. But today, we need to stand up for freedom of speech on the Internet here at home.
    Thanks for all you do. – Daniel, Garlin, Elena, Stefanie, and the rest of the team

    o'puppetmaster - Occupy's 'nerve center' staffed by Soros activists

    From: TeaParty Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2011 Subject: Occupy's 'nerve center' staffed by Soros activists
    SOROS: Secret Funding!
    Occupy's 'Nerve Center'
         The so-called leaderless Occupy movement has just been caught red-handed operating what appears to be a nerve center staffed by professional agitators deeply tied to groups funded by billionaire activist George Soros.
      The groups, most prominent among them being the Tides Center, have been involved with Occupy since the anti-Wall Street movement's inception.
         The radical connections have been largely missed by the general public. CNN, the only news media outlet to receive exclusive access to Occupy's alleged headquarters, did not fully identify the activists found running it.
         Last week, CNN ran a piece titled "Exclusive: Inside the offices of Occupy Wall Street."
         The article and accompanying video purport to depict "a few dozen Occupy Wall Street organizers" who "show up to work every day at an office building in the heart of Manhattan's Financial District."
         CNN surmised "the office space appears to be the movement's nerve center," a notion denied by Occupy leaders interviewed by the news network.
         Continued the piece: "But the volunteers who plan future actions, network with other Occupy protests and deal with logistical issues insisted the location is not Occupy Wall Street's headquarters."
         The news network maintained it visited Occupy's nerve center. CNN reported the Occupy office boasts a finance committee that manages expenses and donations; a communications group that disseminates information agreed upon by consensus and a housing group to make sleeping arrangements for protesters.
         CNN quoted activist Han Shan, identifying him only as "a member of Occupy Wall Street's press relations and direct-action working groups."
         "This is just an office space that a handful of people have tried to make a resource for the Occupy Wall Street movement," Shan stated.
         "Everybody is looking around trying to figure out where the heck the headquarters is, and the truth of the matter is this movement is bigger than any piece of geography, than any piece of real estate, than any square block."
         Shan's radical resume goes far beyond Occupy. He is the former program director for the Tides Center-funded Ruckus Society and an activist with the Tides-funded Adbusters.
         Shan was listed as the contact person for protests outside the 2000 Democratic National Convention. Those protests were sponsored by both Adbusters and Ruckus.
         Shan previously pulled off a stunt at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, where he reportedly climbed to the top of the building and unfurled a 600-square-foot cartoon that depicted the earth falling through a broken shopping bag. The action was aimed at getting mall visitors to ditch their purchases, go home and observe Thanksgiving Friday as "Buy Nothing Day."
         Since 1992, "Buy Nothing Day" has been sponsored annually by the Vancouver-based Media Foundation, which publishes Adbusters.
         Adbusters magazine is reported to have come up with the Occupy Wall Street idea after Arab Spring protests toppled governments in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. The Adbusters website serves as a central hub for Occupy's planning.
         Working with the Ruckus Society, Shan was a leader of the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle that turned violent. Ruckus helped to spark those riots.
         Ruckus is directly tied to Occupy. WND previously reported how official direct-action training resources for recent Occupy events include several manuals from the Ruckus Society, which trains radical activists in "direct action" techniques.
         Ruckus was also listed as a "friend and partner" of the Occupy Days of Action held last month.
         Ruckus is funded by the Tides Center, which has been involved in Occupy since the movement's onset.
         Another grantee of Tides is the Adbusters magazine. MoveOn org, which has joined Occupy, is funded by Tides.
         Tides functions as a money tunnel where major leftist donors provide large sums that are channeled to hundreds of radical groups. One prominent Tides donor is Soros.
         Besides accepting major donations from Tides, Ruckus is also funded directly by Soros' own Open Society Institute.
         Meanwhile, another Occupy staffer loosely identified by CNN is Haywood Carey, who is labeled simply as an Occupy "activist."

    o'unemployed - statistics not o'lies

    • 146 million Americans are living in poverty, are broke or are low income.  (CNN Th.15Dec11)
    • The federal government's unemployment figure is a distorted and understated 8.6% in that it ignores nearly 6 million unemployed no longer job seeking. (http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.us.htm)
    • 600,000 +/- seasonal jobs will rejoin the 'unemployed' after the New Year.
    • Some economic pundits place the true unemployment figure between 12% up to 20%!  (FNC We.14Dec11)
    There are pockets of U.S. unemployed estimated to exceed 32%!
    Highest unemployment rates August 2011 (source)
    El Centro, Calif. 32.4 (28.9 per bls.gov)
    Yuma, Ariz. 29.4

    o'crony - Keynesianism: Crossroads GPS video "Typical" (35s)

    video source: http://youtu.be/L3UNOsHgbFI

    ad produced by http://www.crossroadsgps.org
         This week Crossroads GPS launches a new nationwide television ad challenging President Obama’s latest attempt to reboot his three-year old program of hyperactive government intervention and job-killing tax increases.  The new ad, called “Typical,” exposes the grubby reality behind Obama’s high-flown rhetoric, and begins to clarify the crucial policy choices Americans face: between President Obama’s expensive, ineffective agenda and a realistic path toward economic and fiscal recovery.
         Last week, President Obama delivered a speech in Kansas which ignored the economic and fiscal wreckage caused by three years of skyrocketing, debt-financed spending and massive government growth.  In fact, Obama made no mention of the Depression-level chronic unemployment that is wiping out the future aspirations of millions of college graduates, minorities and working families.  Instead, Obama used the occasion to present a fresh rationale for doubling down on the very same agenda that has helped prolong and deepen the economic suffering of millions of Americans.
         Obama’s speech presented America with his vision of a class-based America in which a muscular federal government uses its powers of regulation and taxation to allocate capital, control economic behavior, level outcomes, and battle economic oligarchs who prey on the lower classes.  On the surface, this vision is tuned to resonate with Americans who are in economic distress, who feel powerless in the grip of global financial and economic forces that seem to impact their lives.  Recent polling and focus group research by Crossroads GPS has found that many Americans have become deeply pessimistic about the country’s direction, and are losing faith in the possibility of personal economic advancement that is the essence of the “American Dream.”
         However, Barack Obama’s vision of a powerful, interventionist government has an ugly side: when government allocates economic power through “productive investments” (to use Obama’s words), cronies rush to the trough to access the newfound power and funding through favoritism.  Money is siphoned off to benefit popular and well-connected industries, and regulatory schemes are bent to advantage favored groups or causes.  Instead of a free enterprise system whereby economic growth and reward are allocated on the basis of efficiency, productivity and appeal to consumers, Obama’s government-centered model invariably assigns resources and advantages on the basis of favors and connections that are only available through Washington, DC.
         Today’s new nationwide ad by Crossroads GPS is aimed at exposing this ugly underbelly of Obama’s vision, illustrated by the archetypal case of Solyndra – a solar energy company whose financier bundled political contributions for President Obama, which invested heavily in lobbying, which generated meetings with high-level White House officials, which secured a $535 million loan for the company (backed by taxpayers despite widely aired concerns about the company’s financial viability), whose executives received fat bonuses, and whose predictable failure cost both taxpayer resources and jobs.
         Last week, President Obama correctly observed that America is engaged in a “raging debate over the best way to restore growth and prosperity; balance and fairness.”  For the past three years, Obama has stubbornly insisted that more government – more spending, taxation and regulation – is the “best way” to heal America’s economic malaise.  For most conservatives, the “best way” is to keep more productive capital in the hands of small businesses and entrepreneurs, and pare back the Obama Administration’s regulatory chokehold on innovation, energy development and consumer choice.
         As Obama tries to whip up optimism about the government’s ability to manage the economy and guarantee fairness, the Solyndra scandal provides a powerful cautionary tale about big-government hubris and the cronyism it invariably invites.  Effective messaging on Solyndra should focus on the White House’s direct engagement in consummating a sweetheart financial deal involving a political contributor; on Solyndra’s utterly predictable collapse and cost to taxpayers; on how the company wasted money on things like extravagant conference rooms; and on how President Obama has consistently dodged responsibility and failed to demand accountability for such wasteful cronyism.
         The focus on President Obama’s Crony Keynesianism doesn’t stop with Solyndra, however.  While conservatives have found great grist for the mill in African ant studies and experiments on monkeys funded by the $830 billion stimulus, huge tranches of stimulus funds were shipped to states to prop up unionized government jobs – benefiting the well-heeled public sector unions that back Obama’s agenda.  The President’s politically-driven decision to put 20,000 Keystone XL jobs on ice until after 2012 is another example of how lobbying and special interest access have become the coins of the realm in Obama’s government-centered economy.
         Solyndra and other examples of cronyism reveal the inherent folly of President Obama’s vision of a vastly larger, financially voracious government as a guarantor of economic prosperity and fairness.  They help explain why conservatives (and most Americans, in fact) are suspicious of a government that amasses too much power and money for itself, even when motivated by good intentions.  The Solyndra scandal also paints a far more complex portrait of President Obama’s modus operandi than the one he claims for himself: instead of being a neutral agent of change, it turns out that Obama is governing much like a typical Washington politician: doling out government largesse to political benefactors and exercising regulatory power to advantage favored constituencies.
         The months ahead may well yield the most intense debate in our nation’s history on the “best way to restore growth and prosperity” after the last several years of debt, downgrades and decline.  If Americans are to make the right policy choices that will heal the economic and fiscal damage and return us to a path of robust, broad-based economic growth, conservatives need to spotlight issues like Solyndra that remind us why free people – small businesses, entrepreneurs, risk-takers and smart consumers – have always been America’s engine of economic growth and shared prosperity, not self-aggrandizing politicians and bureaucrats in Washington, DC.

    "Over the last four years our national debt has risen nearly $6 trillion, and just last week the debt topped an astounding $16 trillion.  To put that in perspective, $16 trillion is enough money to fund the US military, along with the military of every NATO country combined… for the next sixteen years!  Government spending is projected to hit $3.8 trillion this year alone.  Even after every tax dollar paid by Americans has been counted, the government will still overspend by another $1.13 trillion.  Every single second of the day our government spends over $12,000.  So in the time it takes you to read this article, roughly five minutes, our government has spent $3.6 million.  It take four seconds for the government to spend what the average American earns in an entire year."  (source: by Tim Phillips 17Sep12 at TownHall.com)
        "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself.  They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good." -- George Washington

    Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11
         It has been suggested that o'who?, the clown, and 'those who surround him' are not the bumbling fools they appear to be.  Nor are they one of the 'Three Stooges' but rather are shrewd implementation/drivers and fellow-travelers of policies designed to disarm the citizenry & collapse the American economy.  Why?  o'nocchio's grandiose scheme to "fundamentally transform America" is more than simple campaign rhetoric as can be seen by his use of "enabling acts" to circumvent the Constitution of the United States.  As Ollie used to say, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into."
