Bloggers, including this one, have been all over this story for the past several days to break the obvious media blackout, pressuring the media in stories like this, and this and this, and interviews with Andrew Maguire and GATA, to DO THEIR JOBS on behalf of the American People and report the truth of the banksters misdeeds.
Beaten like a rented mule, the mainstream media finally submits to the blogosphere – blowing JP Morgan’s cover in the world’s largest fraud – the manipulation of the silver market and likely theft of the people’s gold.
When the media needs to get their "news" from me and you, the shark has truly been jumped. These mid-to-small town "journalists" come to the realization that they are not being fed the truth by the likes of AP & Reuters. These local market journalists need to become investigative reporters and use their local media access to break national stories like this one. This story needs to be all over local television news.

Elephant kills caretaker hours before performance
WILKES-BARRE - A startled elephant fatally kicked her groomer Friday afternoon, just hours before the start of a performance at the Irem Shrine Circus in Wilkes-Barre. (bd: She didn't like the haircut)
Circus personnel found the man on the ground near Dumbo, an African elephant, around 4:24 p.m. at the 109th Field Artillery Armory on Market Street, according to city police. Lt. Steve Olshefski said initial reports from fire and emergency medical personnel indicated the elephant was startled and kicked the groomer, who later died.
The name of the groomer was not released Friday pending notification of his family, said Luzerne County Coroner John P. Corcoran. The man, who took care of Dumbo behind the scenes, was not from Luzerne County.(bd: thank god he wasn't from luzerne county!)
An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday, Corcoran said. (bd: an autopsy for the groomer or the elephant?)
"As far as we know, the elephant is a good animal," he said. (bd: except for the killing thingy...)
The elephant was uninjured, but did not perform Friday evening. She was confined in a secure area so she could not be startled again, Olshefski said. (bd: She didn't perform...no brainer!!! She just killed someone!!!)
"It was comforted by other trainers and calmed down," he said. (bd: "there there, dumbo...are you OK???")
The show did go on Friday night, but not without a moment of silence for the fallen groomer. Several Shriners stood in a semi-circle in the center ring, hats in hand, during the tribute. (bd: the elephant gave the eulogy)
John Richards, Irem Shrine board member, said the groomer was very knowledgeable about elephants and even spent nights on an air mattress to be close to Dumbo, the lone elephant in the circus. (bd: see: Ratzinger)
"He slept with the animal right on the floor next to him," he said. (bd: great idea, Einstein!)
Richards said the circus has not had any behavioral issues with Dumbo (bd: besides killing someone), who was out this week giving rides around the armory floor. He displayed a cell phone picture of his wife riding the elephant around the ring. (bd: before the elephant went elephant on them)
"These animals are very well-behaved," (bd: except when they kill you)he said. "They'll pose for you if you have a camera up." (bd: say "peanut"...I mean "cheese"!!!!!!!!)
Police determined it was not a criminal act (bd: they decided not to press charges against the elephant, but are considering sending her to Gitmo...besides, they didn't have handcuffs large enough.), but a workplace accident, Olshefski said. Officials from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, were on scene Friday night. (bd: when he interviewed for the job, they said: "how do you feel about getting killed by elephants?)
Whether the circus will continue Saturday depends on the result of the investigation, Richards said. He added he was not aware of any past incidents involving Dumbo. (bd: Dumbo was involved in a check kiting scheme in Philadelphia, but the charges were dropped)
All the circus acts are separate entities procured through Hamid Circus Inc., a circus production company based in Egg Harbor Township, N.J., that has operated for 75 years, according to Richards.
"It's not a fly-by-night company," (bd: yeah, it's a "kick by elephant" company)he said. "These guys are very professional."
Silvie Pomicter, president of animal rights organization Voice of the Animals, said the incident was not surprising since keeping animals in captivity and teaching them "silly tricks" is not natural. (bd: WOW! someone made sense here!)
"Elephants in the wild are peaceful, docile animals. Very loving … What have we done to these peaceful, loving creatures?" she said.(bd: OK, I think you went a little too far here...I'm not going to test out this "peaceful, loving" theory in the wild!!!)
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals issued a statement Friday evening, saying, "It should come as no surprise that elephants and other animals sometimes snap and attack circus employees and members of the public." (bd: it's hard to make up funny comments about something that makes sense)
Richards said Humane Society officials were at the armory Thursday to inspect the animals and their quarters and found them satisfactory. He said several people who were concerned the animals were being abused found themselves chastened after viewing the animals.
"Every person that has gone in the back has come back and said, 'Sorry,'" he said. (bd: that's because the elephant threatened them, if they talked!!!)
If the show does go on today, whether the elephant performed would be the trainer's call, Richards said. He added the Shriners were hoping to obtain grief counselors to talk to the performers and circus personnel. (bd: "And now, fresh from killing her groomer...HERE'S DUMBO THE KILLER ELEPHANT!!! WHOOPS! Dumbo's in "grief counseling"...)
The Irem Shrine Circus was introduced in 1949. This year, approximately 30,000 people were expected to attend the 13 shows scheduled this week.
The Shriners paid about $75,000 for this season's shows, opting for more human acts to keep the cost down (bd: and the death count down), Richards said. In addition to Dumbo, about 11 tigers and one lion are part of the circus this year, he added.
