With the recently announced hire of former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen, The Washington Post now employs four national political columnists who have previously worked for Republican administrations, but only one who has worked for a Democratic administration. The addition of Thiessen, who originated the dubious claim that waterboarding Khalid Shaikh Mohammed "stopped an attack on the Library Tower in Los Angeles," continues to move the Post's editorial page to the right, filling it with prowar and pro-torture views.
Washington Post adds to its stable of former Republican staffers
The Republican Noise Machine
This is what the Republican Party is all about: Dick Armey, Republican leader, spoke at CPAC and in this video, suggests cutting social security. Remember Bush wanted to privatize social security? Keep voting Republican! Dick Armey is also the head of shill group Freedom Works who sponsor the Tea Party's. Don't go crying to me, if Republicans get in there the next election and cut social security and medicare...but keep spending 2.5 BILLION on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars!
In this CPAC video, Dick Armey mocks the idea that there's a health care crisis going on in America:
The Republicans have been trying to take down social security since FDR started it! What if Bush had his way and social security was in the "private" (corporate) market, during this financial crisis?
Compare how the "liberal media" is covering the Teabaggers. Only 600 people were at Sarah Palin's "big" Teabag event, yet the "liberal media" was all over it covering it LIVE on several channels! Just like they're going to interrupt channels to cover Tiger Woods today! Instead of important things to all Americans!
Is the public option rising out of the ashes like a Phoenix? Polls say most Americans want it.
Financial: On The Edge with Max Keiser:
plunger says..........
Central Banking Cartel-affiliated Financial Institutions have been, and are profiting to the tune of Trillions while Investors and middle class taxpayers around the world are losing Trillions. This is not a coincidence, it's EVIDENCE, not of a conspiracy theory, but an actual conspiracy.
For example, according to a Report by the Central Bankers’ Bank itself – The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel Switzerland – Mega Financial Institutions gained some $11.9 Trillion in the market value of their OTC derivatives (bets that the markets would crash) between June, 2008 and December, 2008, when the Market Crash was causing investors around the world to lose Trillions. See for yourself at the BIS website: www.bis.org (path: Statistics>Derivatives>Table 19).
Table 19: Amounts outstanding of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. By risk category and instrument. In billions of US dollars PDF
Does this not provide evidence that the Fall, 2008 Market Crash was not only foreseen, but Planned? Indeed. The world's Central Bankers and the families that control them had access to the REAL data, and the ability to know the timing of the crash - that they intentionally caused. They arranged decades in advance to have their agents (Senators from both parties, Paulson, Bernanke, Geithner, et al) in position and at the ready to implement the Confiscation Of The US Treasury. The (s)elected US President, whatever his name and apparent "party" affiliation, is completely powerless.
Consider also the following Real Numbers from Shadowstats.com which calculates the Real Numbers for the U.S.A. the way they were calculated in the 1980’s and 1990’s before Official Data Manipulation began in earnest.
Official Numbers vs. Real Numbers
Annual Consumer Price Inflation reported January 15, 2010
2.72% 9.68% (annualized January Rate)
U.S. Unemployment reported February 5, 2010
9.7% 21.2%
U.S. GDP Annual Growth/Decline reported January 29, 2010
0.10% -4.62%
Bogus Official Statistics serve to sedate the mis-informed public and conceal the Confiscation of the Wealth of Citizen-Investors worldwide. While Americans (who are being intentionally blinded to see beyond their own narrow world view), are led by the (bought-and-paid-for) talkers on the TeeVee to believe that it's all about Republicans vs. Democrats, the World's Largest Families, who created the entire charade, are laughing all the way to their Bank For International Settlements.
There are no "markets." It's all a charade. The actual money has long since been confiscated. Only the carcass of apparent wealth (bonds, stocks, pensions, etc.) and the illusion of a functioning stock market remain.
Be sure to thank David Rockefeller for his direct and intentional role in destroying America - on behalf of his co-conspirators, the Rothschilds.
