Mary Landrieu's (D-LA) phones in her New Orleans office have ties to the United States intelligence community.<br /><br />The three accused by the FBI of "aiding and abetting" O'Keefe are Stan Dai, Robert Flanagan and Joseph Basel. O'Keefe is 25, and the other three are 24.<br /><br />Dai's links to the intelligence community appear to be particularly strong. He was a speaker at Georgetown University's Central Intelligence Agency summer school program in June 2009, and is also listed as an Assistant Director at the Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence at Trinity in D.C.<br /><br />The university's president Patricia McGuire told The Associated Press that it promoted careers in intelligence but denied that it trains students to be spies.<br /><br />The Trinity program received a "$250,000 renewable grant from the U.S. Intelligence Community" upon launching in 2004, according to its Web site.

If that’s the case, it raises questions about whether bailing out AIG was actually necessary, and what Bernanke’s motives were.”<br /><br />Protect the crime syndicate. That was his motive. Period.<br /><br />Oh, and who founded AIG?<br /><br />“Mr. Greenberg is Honorary Vice Chairman and Director of the Council on Foreign Relations and a member of David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission. In the 1980s, his extensive foreign connections prompted the Reagan administration to offer him a job as Deputy Director of the CIA, which he declined.”<br /><br />“On March 15, 2005, AIG’s board forced Greenberg to resign from his post as Chairman and CEO under the shadow of criticism from Eliot Spitzer, attorney general of the state of New York. On May 26, 2005, as part of a series of actions against leaders of large corporations, Spitzer filed a complaint against Greenberg, AIG, and Howard I. Smith (ex-CFO of AIG) alleging fraudulent business practice, securities fraud, common law fraud, and other violations of insurance and securities laws.”<br /><br />And look what happened to Spitzer consequently–taken out thanks to intelligence-gathering wiretaps.<br /><br />Then: “all criminal charges were dropped, and Greenberg was not held responsible for any crimes.”<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/26/is-bernanke-hiding-a-smok_n_437509.html?show_comment_id=38912726#comment_38912726plungernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-77630229942687390772010-01-27T14:36:20.158-05:002010-01-27T14:36:20.158-05:00Myth America II: 20 Greatest Myths of the Robber C...Myth America II: 20 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution<br /><br />http://www.ipdop.org/myth_america_II_cindy_sheehan_promo.pdfBig Danhttp://bigdanblogger.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-45462599390420461362010-01-27T14:33:07.598-05:002010-01-27T14:33:07.598-05:00Cindy Sheehan on facebook: Is Obama trying to be ...Cindy Sheehan on facebook: Is Obama trying to be a one term president?

These can be jarring, demoralizing and depressing all at the same time. But they are good reminders of exactly what we are dealing with in mass politics today.<br /><br />Case in point is this one I received in response to a recent column:<br /><br />David:<br /><br />Of course, the insurance industry probably had some influence in (dropping the public option), but not total influence. It would not make any sense for the Dems to drop the public option only under insurance lobbying pressure when (as you say) most Americans supported the public idea. They would just be shooting themselves in the foot and they would never be this foolish. There would be a public outcry and all this would be investigated and reported on by the media. I have not heard of any reports on this, so I don't believe this happened. Additionally, did not President Obama say, in effect, that his administration would not be influenced by such lobbying? So how on earth could this happen?<br /><br />It would make much more sense to say that the public option was dropped because of public opposition and insurance industry bribes (contributions). Do you agree?<br /><br />W<br /><br /><br />This email is one of many that I've received insisting that I was factually wrong to assert that "polls confirm that most Americans - not just liberals - support a government-run public health-care option." These emails have included links to polls showing that the public does not support the existing health care bill. Of course, those polls refer to the existing health care bill that does not have a public option - and polls have long proved my assertion about the public option is completely accurate.<br /><br />What's particularly amazing about this right-wing reader's jeremiad is the candor that exposes an almost unfathomably intense ignorance. In this case, the right-wing reader simply cannot believe - simply refuses to believe - that corporate interests have decision-making power and influence over the political system. Why? Because to acknowledge that in this case would force him to acknowledge that his right-wing, anti-public-option views are in the minority. Such an admission would fry his circuitry by contradicting everything he's been told by the airtight, right-wing mediasphere he gets all his news from - a mediasphere that portrays a world where everyone hates the public option. ...........(more)<br /><br />http://www.openleft.com/diary/17004/lobotomized-america-a-good-reminder-of-the-sheer-level-of-ignorance-that-dominates-our-nationzznoreply@blogger.com
