Everyone has this notion that Obama is some peace loving hippie.
You watch a lot of FoxFiction, right? ? ? You head is permanently affixed up your....
Seriously, are you the last douchetard left who is unaware of Obama's 100% neocon administration? Perhaps you truly believe the sock puppet in the Oval Office is running things? That there hasn't been a perfect neocon continuum since at least Reagan, probably since Nixon, really?
....that the Jonah-swallowed-by-the-whale was nothing more than an alien abduction scene, and that the so-called Rapture event recounted in the bible (people flying into the air and sky) was nothing more than the wobble of the Earth, which occurs infrequently, once every 12,000 to 26,000 years.....
I believe that's what one military member of the DIA's Financial Management staff said to another one, just after the Pentagon's comptroller's announcement of the missing $2.3 trillion on 9/10/01 --- and just prior to that plane plowing into the Pentagon's west wall and killing and severely injuring the entire audit team, and destroying those financial records involved, on 9/11/01.
From the Wikileaks statement released in advance of the ruling:
* The US Grand Jury reportedly possesses a sealed indictment, which could be used to extradite Assange to the United States.
* Secret subpoenas have been served on ISPs and online services for the private data of WikiLeaks staff and supporters.
* Special task-forces have been setup by various various US intelligence agencies, including the Pentagon, CIA, FBI, and the US State Department.
* Associates of WikiLeaks have been detained and interrogated at US and UK airports, their equipment confiscated, and attempts have been made to turn them into informants.
* If the indictment is unsealed upon Assange's extradition to Sweden he faces further removal from Sweden to the United States.
* Meanwhile, an unprecedented extralegal denial of service by Visa and Mastercard has cut off funding to WikiLeaks, almost shutting down WikiLeaks' publishing activity.
* If the extradition to Sweden is quashed in the outcome of the court judgement, he faces extradition from the United Kingdom.
* Both Swedish and UK governments have been coordinating with the US, taking steps to facilitate a US extradition request in either eventuality. Assange cannot take steps to avoid either risk. For 539 days he has been detained without charge in the UK under house arrest.
* Under US pressure the Australian government has relaxed its own extradition law, smoothing any possible extradition from Assange's home country. The Gillard government has also amended legislation to give Australian intelligence agencies powers of surveillance over WikiLeaks supporters.
And they are extraditing Wikileaks' Assange, not to Stockholm as one would logically assume, but to Gothenberg, where another Boeing "extreme rendition airlines" subsidiary, Jeppesen Systems AB, is located.
The major point of this entire phony show mock proceeding is that the judges ruled on a point, or precedent, which was never brought up, never addressed nor never argued during the frigging trial --- a complete travesty and having nothing whatsoever to do with the law.
She said this convention had not been raised during the hearing.
This is what is termed, "extra judicial" -- meaning it is unlawful, unethical and plainly would never be allowed in a real court of law, period!
Clearly, the point those illegitimate swine who dare call themselves judges was never brought up during the trial, never addressed during the trial, and therefore never argued during the trial --- a complete and total travesty.
...I remember them, back in 2003, they shut down 1,000 offices throughout the USA and opened up about that many throughout China. Yeah, they surely are completely trustworthy, doods!
You betcha, yaaaaah shoooor.....we only learned about it in an off-hand business report published in 2005.
a BSA payoff? This photo below, of Thomas "three chins" Friedman (a k a the Freakman) meeting with Washington state Governor Gregoire begs the question: which one is paying off the other for doing so much work on behalf of the BSA? ? ?
Tom Ashbrook, on NPR, was absolutely gushing in his panties about the Saudi intelligence agent, and kept chanting:
“It sounds like Mission Impossible! It sounds like Mission Impossible!”
One can just imagine the scenario: Abdul is enjoying his usual Friday noon lunch in Riyadh, taking in the weakly beheading of innocent women.
Suddenly, a woman’s severed head rolls in front of agent Abdul. Abdul gazes at the glassy-eyed stare on the bloody head and quickly reaches down and rips off her crystal earring.
Holding the earring towards the noon day sun, a holographic image appears, with a caftan-wearing man intoning,
“Agent Abdul, you will proceed to Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and retrieve the latest underwear explosive. We will call this Operation Calvin Klein.”
“Should you be successful, the CIA will pay you a fortune and reward you with endless nights with the pink slime lady, Ann Coulter. Should you fail, it’s sloppy seconds from the US Secret Service and no more lunchtime beheadings for your viewing pleasure.”
Abdul tosses the earring into the hot desert sky and watches it fizzle into dust, while suddenly the Lalo Schfrin theme blares in the background, scaring the crap out of Abdul!
Stay tuned for agent Abdul’s next adventure when he confronts Al Qaeda on Wall Street (AQWS) and closes in on Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, Phil Gramm, Hank Paulson, Hank Greenberg, Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner, Neal Wolin, Gary Gensler, Fredric Mishkin, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Stephen Friedman, Sandy Weill, Kerry Killinger, Gene Sperling, Martin Feldstein, C. Fred Bergsten . . . .
(Still, I'm a little troubled by the statement that you felt reading Einstein was unproductive—one of the few things I do definitely know about theoretical physics is that his work is considered absolutely essential.)
You would be amazed at what you would understand after reading Riemann, and why I mentioned about skipping Bohr and Einstein --- who (especially Einstein) were essentially repeating Riemann. Very enlightening.....
Now what kind of sense does that make? After all, China is where the bulk of that derivatives processing has been offshored to -- obviously econocide??
Excellent points, Ms. Sam! If the Web had existed when I was a kid, I would have early on learned about G.F.B. Riemann, and hence known enough to have studied real physics: GFB Riemann > > Paul Dirac > > David Boehm > > John Bell (Bell's Theorem or Inequality > > Julian Barbour (and skipped Bohr and Einstein). The Web over Internet is a true cognition multiplier.
The ultra-leveraged bankster run which also occurred back in the 1920s (when securitization also exploded back then, but curtailed with the passage of the Securities Act of 1933), simply was replayed --- but this time around, they are doing back-to-back ultra-leveraged bankster runs, resarting again around 2009/2010, and it don't look good.....
All the revisionistic bullcrap changes nothing....
And lest anyone forgets, because it's supposed to drag out forever, Anna Ardin (a k a Anna Bernardin), the accuser of Wikileaks' Julian Assange, worked for (and may still work for them) the Bonnier family through one of their tabloids, while the two sisters of Claes Borgstrom (one of the two partners of the law firm representing Anna Ardin in trying to get Assange extradited to Sweden) work for the Bonnier family, and Thomas Bodstrom (the other partner of that law firm, who was the Justice Minister of Sweden who colluded with the American CIA to extreme rendition to innocent Arab-Swedes, later exonerated in court) publishes through the Bonnier family.
Oh yeah....and presently Thomas Bodstrom and family are living a short drive from the CIA's HQ in Northern Virginia, USA.
Great comments on this one, and obviously Berners-Lee hasn't been paying attention and is waaaaay out of touch.
America and the UK are total surveillance states at this point, and that's not debatable.
EPIC GREED: The Social Singularity Has Been Achieved
Some years back, a poster or commenter in the United Kingdom named Dan, suggested that the social singularity had been achieved, that the economic elites had become so powerful, and their power wielded so subtly and covertly, that few realized just how easily the populace was being manipulated.
A peek behind the curtain, at the inner working of the Koch brothers, their astroturfing, their political and media manipulation, was long in coming; from their Liberty Lobby reaching widespread circulation in 1960, to the present, is a very lengthy period. Little traction was achieved when, at the beginning of the Bush administration, we tried to publicize that President Bush’s sister was Mrs. Koch, and that Dick Cheney’s godson, D.G. Gribbin IV, was a Koch company employee, and the Kochs aren’t even at the top of the power pyramid!
Today we are assaulted by the usual political theater on taxes; the so-called media babbling about a “broken tax code” --- obfuscating the obvious truth of a tax code designed to favor the super-rich while discriminating against the workers and the poor.
When the IRS tax rule 401(a)(5) states: “A classification shall not be considered discriminatory merely because it is limited to salaries or clerical employees” --- the intent should be obvious.
When private equity firms – private banks such as Fortress and the Blackstone Group – go public, yet continue to pay the lower capital gains tax rate (when they do actually pay taxes), instead of the higher corporate tax rate which they should be paying, the absolute corruption should be obvious.
Confused and ignorant people, people who are used to being classified as “consumers” and are bewildered as to what true citizenship means, sincerely believe themselves to be team members, either on the Blue Team (the democratic wing of the Bankster Party) or the Red Team (the republican wing of the Bankster Party) --- wallowing within the political theater of the absurd!
When several economists from Goldman Sachs were quoted in a New York Times article (Aug. 28, 2006) explaining the obvious:
“The most important contributor to higher profit margins over the past five years has been a decline in labor’s share of national income”
they were blithely repeating the number one commandment and strategy of the plutocrats, or the Transnational Capitalist Class; namely, absolute wealth transfer so they could realize the greatest concentration of wealth imaginable!
What has occurred with each successful presidential administration since Reagan?
Has economic inequality and the concentration of wealth decreased or increased during each administration, from Reagan to Obama’s?
Increased ! ! !
What is the oldest and largest private bank in America?
Brown Brothers Harriman.
Someone connected with them has been in a senior power position in America for thirty-some years: either a Bush in the presidency or vice-presidency (effectively the presidency under Reagan), or Alan Greenspan at the Federal Reserve.
And where did Brown Brothers’ wealth originate from prior to their merger with Harriman?
Slavery and the slave trade, of course.
Harriman was responsible for bringing over boatloads of Chinese scab workers during the late 1800s and early 1900s to undercut the American gandy dancers (white, black, Japanese and immigrant gandy dancers), working the majority of them (the Chinese workers) literally to death!
Today, they offshore jobs to China, offshore technology to China and offshore investment (and foreign aid) t
