Olbermann vs. John Gibson on a historic moment


How the MSM reports the historic moment.

A Privileged Resolution to impeach a Vice President in Congress.

Olbermann vs. John Gibson.

Fairly unfair contest.

You decide.

If you are reading this blog then you are a HOMEGROWN TERRORIST

H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. Rep. Jane Harmon legislation.

Oct 23, 2007: This bill was passed in the House of Representatives by roll call vote. The vote was held under a suspension of the rules to cut debate short and pass the bill, needing a two-thirds majority. The totals were 404 Ayes, 6 Nays, 22 Present/Not Voting.

Terrorism prevention act of 2007 amends the Homeland Sec Act of 2002 to add provisions concerning the prevention of homegrown terrorision by individuals born raised or based and operating primarily in the USA.

HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

JMCO = Just My Cynical Opinion
If this legislation (which granted still needs to pass the Senate) does not scare the reality of what has happened to our Democracy - than you are hopeless.

PS - some of my best friends are now Homegrown Terrorists!

Blackwater charity bites in the end.

Press Release from Ray Lutz (Citizen's oversight) on Blackwater in Potrero. Blackwater was able to get beyond sheriff's blockade to deliver these goods. Let's talk. In New Orleans Blackwater got in there first with no DHS contract & then a week later they had a contract. Remember, Blackwater was in New Orleans before FEMA (truth be told that is no great task). I am sure they "back dated" services they did that first week in New Orleans in the eventual contract they got for New Orleans.

http://narcosphere.narconews.com/story/2007/11/1/22310/1835

It may appear that these are "do-gooders" but they are going to get money some way out of the state for this. Chris Bertelli (Deputy Director of DHS in CA) is an ex-Blackwater.

Blackwater's new source of revenue stream (to support Erik Prince in the lifestyle he has grown accustomed to) will be from within the USA. The contract in Iraq is up May_09 - which will probably not be renewed.
  1. That is what should be in this bill. Is the insurance that DHS cannot hire Blackwater or equivalent in the USA in lieu of National Guard, for example.
  2. If Blackwater does not get extension on State Dept contract - what firm are they going to hire to replace Blackwater in Iraq.
Oct 15 - WSJ Blackwater Vies for Jobs Beyond Guard Duty

"We see the security market diminishing," Mr. Prince said. He added that the company's focus "is going to be more of a full spectrum," ranging from delivering humanitarian aid to responding to natural disasters to handling the behind-the-lines logistics of moving heavy equipment and supplies.

Question: which firm will State Dept get to replace Blackwater in Iraq?

Broken Government - Why Won't our Elected Officials Fix It?

Broken Government; How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches

Sliced & Diced clips from Watergate: Rep. Barbara Jordan, Howard Baker, John Dean and of course Mr. Bill Moyers.

Broken Government - Why Won't our Elected Officials Fix It?
Enough with the excuses - IMPEACH!

Keeping it Real in Democracy - Impeachment on Prime Time!


Kucinich mentions the IMPEACH word during the Democratic Debate on national TV!
Thank you!




This morning I listened to Washington Journal and now I am completely depressed. I start my day with Prozac and I end it with cake!

Someone called in to Washington Journal and said "What is happening today is all Karl Rove's work to keep the Democrats out of the WH in 08. No one is going to vote for a female nor a black."

JMCO (just my cynical opinion)
As is typical, the Democrats are fighting amongst themselves (looking like the "do nothing party"). Of course, it does not take much to get the Democrats to not agree amongst themselves.

Rove is fueling this Democratic party dysfunctional with "behind the scenes Rovian Viagra destruction". Bush is playing politics when he holds press conferences saying "The Congress needs to do this - blah blah blah". It is "pin the tail on the Donkey" time - the programming of American voters that the Democratic held House and Senate are incompetent and not the savior for 08.



It is a Karl Rove mega-phone hypnotizing the electorate with the MSM (Mime Stream Media) message to American voters.



Democrats cannot agree on anything.

The Democratic controlled House and Senate are screwing up America! Hence, the Democrats are being branded for all the failures of the BushCo since 2000. Just in time for Election_08.

Democrats are responsible for the budget not being approved. Remember when Clinton held up the budget approval with Newt Gingrich and Clinton got the backing of the US voters on shutting the government down.

Democrats only have a Female & a Black to offer as a president = "oh no NOT IN MY COUNTRY". (These are not my personal views - just my rubber neck roadside train wreck observations).

Democrats have not done anything to end the occupation.
