If you endorse the values of the former and late Enron Corporate executives, VOTE for Senator John McCain today. If you support the Enron loopholes, which were introduced by the Commodities Future Modernization Act of 2000 to allow manipulation and piracy of the energy market, VOTE for Senator John McCain who helped his friend and former Senator Phil Gramm shepherd the Act through Congress.
If you endorse blocking enforcement of laws against and legalization of unregulated derivatives, which nearly destroyed the economy of this nation, VOTE for Senator John McCain whose friend and former fellow Senator Phil Gramm legalized unregualted derivatives under the Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000.
If you VOTE for Senator Phil Gramm today, please go out and buy yourself or pick up some Pet Rocks. Place the Pet Rocks in your pocket. This will always ensure that there is always something smarter than you with you at all times.
If you and your fellow Americans elect Senator John McCain President of the United States, please stop speaking disrespectfully of people with learning disabilities. Your VOTE proved what I have always said. People with learning disabilities may not be smarter than the average American in all things, but they are smarter overall than the average American. They tend to have a love for the nation and those around them, who care for them, that others lack.
This message was not endorsed by Senator Barrack Obama whose dear departed Grandmother taught him not to speak ill of others as I have done here. Others in my departed family taught me the same. However, still others in my dearly departed family taught me to stand-up against wrongs and fight for what is right at whatever cost.

Wall-Street Casino Owners Hold Public Wallets (Fundamentals) Hostage
Wall-Street Casino Operators got drunk......Wall-Street should stop their whining and get over their self induced mental recession. Beware of Confidence Men! Remember - Fraud is Fraud; no matter how you slice it or dice it, a pig with lipstick, is still a pig!
In Los Vegas, not unlike Wall-Street, the house is rigged to always come out on top. This is not a solution, only a sturdier yoke...a new and improved mousetrap, if you will!

Does anyone find it a little conspicuous that right when the news of the $700B plan falls through that Washington Mutual collapses?
Reguardless, I was right about one thing. $700B was too much money to pass out. Compare this much money with what is being spent on the U.S. Governments biggests asset, the Department of Defense, which has an annual budget of $439B. Compare the $700 dollar bailout plan with the annual budgets of the Executive branch and the cost comes out to be 66% of the annual budget (which is just over $1 TRILLION).
Both sides of the asle are not happy and have ever right to be.
Something is not right. Do we give up funding most of the government for one year to save the collapsing banking industry or do we invest that money in things like Social Security or the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs?
America wants to save the banks, but not at such a heavy price tag.
Something like this has ENRON written all over it.
The titanic shift of national attention back to reality over lipstick enables Obama to reopen and reframe some key issues that have been distorted by Press and Repubs
ii. With the selection of Sarah Palin, McCain’s JUDGMENT that she is ready for VP, let alone presidency is questionable at best.
i. One: Was this decision responsible, ‘country first’ or reckless? It can be argued reasonably and persuasively that it an astonishingly irresponsible choice for VP in terms of country first; her qualifications for the job are what exactly?
1. This is clearly a political calculation: a ‘what is good for McCain choice’, NOT a ‘what is best for the country first choice’.
ii. Two: Vetting process – as a surrogate for the way he makes decisions, the superficial vetting of Palin reveals he was RASH and shallow in this the fist presidential-level decision.
1. Republican history of reckless, politics first VP choices (reinforces negative branding of republicans thru assoc w Bush, Cheney, Quayle)
iii. Three: now that the decision is framed, examine her qualifications and public record only! It is not that she’s a woman (We Democrats have put forward the first serious woman contender for the presidency and she supports Obama, now), it’s a question of Palin’s public experience, record, character. Do you the voter agree?
An interview was conducted that you may be interested in hearing. On the Peter B Collins show either Monday or Tuesday [May 19, Monday or May 20, Tuesday http://www.peterbcollins.com which also comes on and may have podcasts here also http://www.green960.com
The interview was with Jason Leopold, an investigative journalist blogger at Public Record http://www.pubrecord.org.was breaking a story that one reason for gas prices that no one is appreciably looking at is the 'Enron loophole' and its relation to Commodities Futures Trading.
The actual politician whose work to 'open up' speculative trading was a Phil Gram, [the guy who called us whiners] and his wife, after serving on a board of the Commodities Futures Trade Commission to encourage this de-regulation. Ironically, immediately after this action was guaranteed, Mrs. Gram went to work for the accounting department at Enron- the energy company in which speculators, to make more commission took California's energy companies off line to drive up energy costs and resulting in rolling brown and black outs. Phil Gram now works closely with the McCain campaign as an economic adviser. If you need to get up to speed on just how criminal a corporation Enron was, do check out a copy of 'The Smartest Men in the Board Room'- I know for sure Netflix.com has this. To summarize, Mc Cain's top economic strategist engineered a loop hole for which we have been lured into today, while the banking system collapses, and the shiny object known as Palin draws away Americans from what is in their best interest.
Support Senators Obama Biden to get out in front of this and push those Republicans back into the caves they came out of.

The banner headline in today's The Wall Street Journal reads "Crisis on Wall Street As Lehman Totters, Merrill Seeks Buyer, AIG Hunts for Cash." Since that morning headline, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., an investment bank for more than 150 years, has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Merrill Lynch has sold itself to Bank of America. AIG has won a temporary reprieve after Gov. David Patterson agreed to relax insurance regulations to allow it to access up to $20 billion in assets held by its own subsidiaries. The Dow opened and immediately fell 300 points.

On May 16, 2008, Arrigo sent extensive government corruption and cover-up information to Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee - in 12 separate cases. This article covers four of them or about one-third of what Congress got. The 12 are explosive and revealing but just the tip of the iceberg:
-- of government corruption and war profiteering; -- sweetheart deals and kickbacks; -- high-level types on the take; -- trillions of missing dollars; -- on September 10, 2001, Rumsfeld admitting "According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions;" -- imagine the current amount; -- its corrosive effect on the nation; and people should -- demand accountability - who profits, who pays and what are the consequences of militarism gone mad.
Or by George W. Bush himself?
Close up on an eye. Slow pull back to reveal Richard Nixon’s face. Switch to Nixon saying ’I am not a crook.
Switch to Reagan, still, but live, while background rolls quarter size pictures of the Ayahtollah Khomeini, Olli North, Some contras standing over dead innocents, Rumsfeld schmoozing with Sadaam Hussien.
Still shot of people lined up outside an unemployment office.
Switch to Bush 1, saying ’read my lips’.
Still shot of a hobo sleeping on a bench in winter.
Switch to Bush 2 in a flight suit on the carrier deck giving the thumbs up, saying ’mission accomplished.

Film burns as we pull away from a tv screen being watched by ’The Candidate’ sitting at a serious desk reminiscent of the desk in the Oval Office.
He turns to the camera and just says:
"Please. On November Fourth go to your polling place and vote Democratic to restore Democracy to America."
Still shot of a single polling booth with an American flag next to it.

For the past six years of relentless media pounding, the malleable public mind has been rendered into mush, brow-beaten into accepting the premise for the invasion and occupation of Iraq as, somehow, in fact, being based on a legitimate war. It is not a war and never has been. If you proceed from a false assumption, you will end up with a false argument. In this case, any reference to the term ‘Surge’ is a misnomer, and by default, an attempted extension to justify an already illicit deed. Therefore, any argument for, or against any kind of SURGE as working, or not, is simply a vain, elaborate attempt to mask and justify the mass slaughter and displacement of millions of people the current misconception has already left in its wake. This can not be dismissed, or condoned by a simple play on words. The architects should not be allowed, so easily, to wash from their hands the spilt innocent blood and wryly walk away!
Iraq never attacked the U.S., nor did it ever pose a threat. It was already occupied; cornered and bludgeoned by an already ongoing occupation initiated by Bush I. Bush II simply utilized the chaos that issued forth from the psychodrama of 9/11, as a means to escalate its belligerence against the Iraqi people to satisfy neocon agenda, seize the oil fields and restore U.S. Dollar supremacy. The U.S. Congress never declared war against Iraq, it simply signed off, giving Bush abusive powers to escalate existing aggressions of occupation; technically it has been nothing more than a congressionally sanctioned police action from the very beginning.
Now that the neocon warmongers wish to play a shell game with a ‘redeployment’ of troops from one illicit invasion: Iraq; transferring the focal point of its aggression by escalating those actions into the, long forgotten, initial invasion of Afghanistan, perhaps it would benefit all if we were to revisit the timeline encompassing the events of: Cheney/Enron – Taliban – Afghanistan – leading up to 9/11.
The Enron scandal runs so deep into the Bush/Cheney regime that evidence shows Enron may have been a major factor in Bush/Cheney complicity in 9/11 as pretext for the present "global war on terror" a war for the control of Central Asian oil, gas reserves and pipelines implicating the Bush/Cheney neocon regime in both the Enron scandal and 9/11, as Enron also had its interests in the Afghanistan/Central Asia energy grab.
From 2001 to 2003, Dick Cheney continued to openly break the law by defying GAO requests to turn over his records of meetings with Enron. The General Accounting Office decided not to challenge a judge's decision to dismiss the watchdog agency's lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force.
The decision by GAO ended a nearly two-year battle with the White House over documents detailing meetings Cheney held with the National Energy Policy Development Group in 2001. The meetings resulted in the president's national energy policy and many of the officials there came from Enron Corp., the Houston-based energy company that filed for bankruptcy in December 2001 amid accusations of hidden debt, inflated profits and improper accounting methods.
There are indications that Enron and the White House were working closely with the Taliban -- including Osama bin Laden -- up to weeks before the Sept. 11 attack. Why was the bin Laden family, swiftly whisked out of the country, immediately following the events of 9/11?
The Bush Oil Team, and their neocon drivers can momentarily rely on the support of the interim Prime Minister of Afghanistan, may think that war and oil profits mix, but there is simply too much evidence that the War in Afghanistan was primarily about building UNOCAL's pipeline, not about fighting terrorism.
How does McCain fit into the Enron ball game? Following Enron’s collapse in December of 2001, it was McCain’s financial guru, Phil Graam, the evil genius of world high-way robbery, whose UBS interests scavenged the remnants of Enron’s energy and oil interests throughout the Middle East. In other words, the chameleon UBS is the new Enron. (The following material will allow you to see the Enron scandal and its ties to Bush-Cheney in a whole new light: Center for Research on Globalization.)
Since the Democrats continue buckling under the weight of their own invertebrate skeletal structure when it comes to defending the Constitution, perhaps the public would best be served, by enlisting the services of those members of courage, who still have eyes, ears and a backbone; to investigate Cheney’s Enron agenda prior to 9/11 and the secretive deals between Big Oil, Bush, and the Taliban in the early months of 2001. If the spineless majority continues to lay prostrate in the face of such questions, perhaps we should raise the specter of their own criminal malfeasance.
What ever the opinions may be regarding the sanitized version for its causes, much weight outside of the anointed pronouncements, suggest that 9/11 may very well have been a rouge GLADIO-CIA styled false-flag operation utilized to ignite the necessary psychodrama that has permeated, and swept the public mind into accepting the all consuming ‘global war on terror’, a bloody cover for imperial madness…money and power!
Think Oliver North type covert ops run by then VP (CIA) Bush-I, in sleepy Reagan’s basement, but this time, Cheney’s basement, along with all of the same Iran/Contra neocon planners. A pliable Bush II, still a complicit traitor, has simply been the epitome of Marx’s ‘useful idiot’ for the neocon agenda, to plunge the world into a clash of civilizations and force into existence a fascist order.
GLADIO - false-flag operations are quite frightening as they are, in fact, quite real! Many will ask, "Well, what happened to the passengers seen boarding the aircraft?" These folks are psyops specialists, mind-benders, who study deception and distraction. My response is, "how did the famous magician, David Copperfield, manage to make the statue of liberty disappear before a, massive, live audience?"Interestingly, numerous NORAD, and its eastern counterpart, NEADS gamers, were performing live, what if, hijacking scenarios at that very same precise moment; to add a fog of confusion, the actual event was piggybacked into these live games. Suspicion has it that the 'aircraft' may have been outfitted with a DARPA designed electronics mechanism 'Global Hawk', which had the capacity for disabling and over-riding onboard pilot control of the craft and placing it into the hands of a remote crew. (Webster Tarpley - 9/11 Synthetic Terror-Made in USA) “Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the state.” - James Jesus Angelton - Director of CIA Counter Intelligence (1954-74)“The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” - William Colby - Director of the CIA (1973-76)
The corporate media, along with its PR firms, have done a masterful job in turning upside down the intended original meaning for the idiom ‘conspiracy’. With the association of negative thought patterns, evoked by images bound to such statements as: fringe, lunatic, left-wing, conspiracy-nut, etc, the public mind has been convincingly conjured into suspecting that it is the truth seeker that is fact the conspirator instead. The negative coloring of the word ‘conspiracy’ has effectively become a psychological repellant to any serious prying; as something beyond the pale of ordinary, rational thought; unworthy of consideration; a subliminal mental stop sign, impugning the rational mind that only lunatics and fringe elements dwell therein! Very effective indeed!
The fact of the matter is that history is replete with conspiracies. The American Revolution was a conspiracy against the King of England, a premiere example.
Con – meaning against; Spire – from the Latin, to breath -- giving us the result: to breathe against; from this, have evolved terms such as: con-job, con-artist, or confidence man, all of which are individual conspirators. The only difference being that, a conspiracy involves a 'group' of individual confidence men, or con-artists – think big, think Federal Reserve and Wall Street, both involve 'consumer confidence'. The con builds its subject’s confidence, for the purpose of bilking the supplicant out of something that it has; something of value and which the con desires to take by slight of hand. In 1913, when the money powers centralized their control, consecrated in the creature of the Federal Reserve, the popular press from that bygone era criticized it as a, “den of vipers and thieves”, in other words, a sanctuary of con-artists.
If you tell a little lie, you’ll get caught, but if you tell a BIG lie, and tell it often enough it and teach it as the truth, eventually it will be perceived and accepted by all as the truth. (In other words, the larger and more magnificent the con, the more difficult it is to see through it, especially if it is sanctioned and cloaked in the respectable shroud of one’s own government.)
I’d be willing to venture a ten-fold return on your every dollar, that there are currently, and have been from the very beginning, numerous false-flag fires set off all over the Middle East landscape. To this bloody thought process, the ends justify what ever means are at its disposal.
If these things are not openly vetted, the House can only remain under the dark cloud it has gathered itself under, while innocent blood continues to spill and scream from the ground to haunt the ears of the living.
I say, reopen the investigations into Enron/Cheney (currently, morphed into the UBS of McCain/Gramm/Cheney) because this might very well be the thread to pull that will unravel the cloak, which was 9/11.
In 43 BCE, Cicero spoke these words to the Senate: A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is well known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.

When George W. Bush took office, the U.S. Governmen had a bilateral agreement with North Korea to provide them with fuel oil in exchange for them not pursuiing their Nuclear Program. No one trusted them but there were UN inspectors on the ground to try to enforce compliance. Seven years plus and the current status is the US has a bilaterla agreement with North Korea but no inspectors and the same cheating that was going on before.
When George Bush took office, the Kyoto accords were on the table for an effort to stop Global Warming. The Bush admin denied global warming even existed and have so muddied the actual knowledge available to the public that some people are uncertain if it exists and have wasted the entire time of the Bush admin without leadership or progress.
When the Bush admin took over they made it a priority to have an Energy Policy. The resulting Policy refused to consider conservation as option and wasted the entire time failing to promote alternative sources of energy until now we are faced with $4 gasoline and going up every day. Plus we have swuandered another opportunity.
When the Enron disaster hit California into a crisis, The Bush admin via the various reglulatoru agencies refused to investigate when the Gov of California asked for help. Not until much later was the truth learned about how the system was manipulated to take advantage of deregulation and the lack of oversight. This brings up the entire philophy of the current admin. Yes we will prosecute people who take advantage of the deregulation to line their own pockets but we will continue not to have any oversight to protect society before the damages are done.
Oil Companies and other “price protectionists” are quick to discredit, or minimize, the impacts of rampant "speculation" on the dramatic run-up in the price of oil/gasoline. Nevertheless, there is little real doubt that unfettered, undercapitalized, irresponsible, speculative trading, by massive players, has helped to create a rapidly growing price bubble that unfairly burdens global consumers. The “Enron Loophole," and every other loophole known to man, must be plugged as a necessary first step in establishing some greater semblance of trading responsibility and price stability--in a market that is everything but "free."
The world's oil commodity supply is so tightly and secretly controlled and manipulated by a handful of nation-states, cartels and corporate colluders, that "no-skin-in-the-game" speculators can feel abundantly secure in knowing that free market competition will not likely burst their risky bubble. And, the fact that the resulting inflated prices are then substantially subsidized by many governments, serving the vast majority of the world’s citizenry, severely and unfairly disadvantages American consumers—directly and indirectly.
Why should American taxpaying consumers support more coastal drilling when we get so little direct benefit from American oil production supplies? American consumers get no governmental subsidies on gasoline. Only the price-gouging, profiteering Big Oil Companies get governmental subsidies!
America’s ill-served consumers are coerced into buying prescription drugs in Canada and gasoline in Mexico. What a sorry state of affairs! It’s time for our elected government officials to get serious about reducing gasoline prices. Congress must start by enacting meaningful legislation to close speculation loopholes—NOW!
From THE ENVIRONMENTALIST
In a campaign year where John McCain is seemingly doing everything he can to publicly distance himself from George W. Bush, he's also been emulating the historically unpopular president by walking in lock-step with him along the path to Texas oil.While Barack Obama was in Illinois shoveling sand in bags to hold back the Bush-neglected infrastructure crumbling around him -- resulting in a multi-state version of Katrina with both an oblivious Republican president and Republican presidential candidate -- John McCain just happened to be on his way to Texas to accept the whoops and cheers (and money) from oil industry insiders for his proclaimed flip-flop on offshore drilling as the answer to America's oil-supply woes.Want something worse? Aside from the fact that he did it while Senator Obama was showing empathy to those impacted by an unstable climate and deteriorating infrastructure, it turns out that John McCain gave his oil pandering speech CONCURRENT to the release of his new ad-buy proclaiming his independence from the Bush Administration on global warming.
The corporation’s successful deployment of Freudian psychological tricks, employed once before to harness the purchasing power of the consuming masses, has now turned an even more sinister corner. Tapping into the deeply rooted xenophobic religious fears of the psyche, enabling it to pit ‘Us’ against ‘Them’, while an evolving war industry thrives in the chaos, bloating itself upon the export market of war material, as it covertly seeks to undermine imerging democracies, a thorn in the side, and threat to imperial desires.
This force has evolved the capacity and of necessity, the psychological tools to incite global dominance, while the masses languish in its psychic prison, as automatons, a manufactured corporate bubble of consensus reality, suitable only to its own egocentric survival.
If you haven't seen the BBC documentires, I highly recommend you set time aside to watch both: 'The Century of Self' followed by 'The Power of Nightmares'. You will see how the - Al Qaeda Everywhere - specter morphed into its present form; a psychological tool for the exploitation of fear, to promote a never ending war!

A cursory examination into the networking tentacles of the defense industry, which tap and prioritizes every innovative thought that bubbles to the surface, from each and every institution of American society, it becomes obviously difficult to escape the clutches of its reach into every segment of our economy. What should be even more worrisome is the continued raising up of mercenary, Solders of Fortune.
In the HBO documentary video, ‘Why We Fight’, the point is quickly hammered home, just how deeply permeated every nerve and fiber of American psyche has become, with the notion that war is necessary, war is good and war creates jobs.
This is the mindset Obama wishes to change. If not, it will be to our own peril. There is something beastly psychopathic reflected in a nation's annual military budget of 650 billion dollars, when weighed in the balace of world population, of roughly 7 billion people.

There is box of cereal back in our cupboard, full of dust, due to disuse. People are paid money to pick something else. Those who want the cereal, can never seem to reach due to lack of resources and collusion. This cereal, is of course, is "Checks and Balances". It's delicious. Well, for most of the population and myselfanyway. An oil tycoon in Texas, and others, would probably find it very bitter.
There are two types of people who are not going to get that box of cereal off the shelf.
1) Eh, it's on the top shelf in the back. I would have to work to get it. I'll stick with the latest brand of "Status Quo" waffles.
Whoa, hold on there cowbay. Did you know those were made with gendetically modified nepotism. You may not know that little know fact because this modified nepotism is not the tradition nepotism. No, this one involves oil buddies, campaign donors and others. Please take a look at Link for an example.
You know how your mother used to tell you, "Birds of a feather flock together"? If you have not disco vered the excellent Smoking Gun website, it worth a look. They have copies of letters between Enrons's Kenneth Lay and Bush (or as Ken liked to call him "George"). Link will discuss the other people who prefer processed waffles over the standard, fair to all breakfast.
I believe the newness to Obama's career, will help resolve this situation.
