Ann Arbor 9-11 Truth

On Anniversary of 911 Many Ann Arborites Doubt Official Story

A group Ann Arbor citizens gathered yesterday at 5:30 pm on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Liberty adjacent to the Federal Building to express their dismay about the lies and cover-ups being perpetuated by our government and media concerning the events of Sept 11, 2001.

Numerous passing drivers on the active corner in the center of town showed solidarity with the protesters by honking and giving thumbs-up as they went by. Hundreds of fliers directing readers to 911Truth websites were handed to curious pedestrians who were very receptive, many expressing their own doubts as well.

A few responded angrily, with one man actually asking the group if they had "forgotten their meds". In our highly medicated and comatose society, "medications" seem to be the remedy for those who are concerned, upset and disillusioned with recent events.

Regardless of the fact that so many dumbing and numbing drugs are foisted on the public-- now, more than ever, the events of the terror attacks are questioned and disputed in every country around the world. No amount of "medication" will make this movement go away.

Army: soldier suicide rate

Soldier suicides this year could surpass the record rate of last year, Army officials said Thursday, urging military leaders at all levels to redouble prevention efforts for a force strained by two wars.

As of the end of August, there were 62 confirmed suicides among active duty soldiers and Guard and Reserve troops called to active duty, officials said. Another 31 deaths appear to be suicides but are still being investigated.

If all are confirmed, that means that the number for 2008 could eclipse the 115 of last year — and the rate per 100,000 could surpass that of the civilian population, Col. Eddie Stephens, deputy director of human resources policy, said at a Pentagon news conference.
"Army leaders are fully aware that repeated deployments have led to increased distress and anxiety for both soldiers and their families," Army Secretary Pete Geren said.

The 666 Microchip

The 666 Microchip

Transcribed from a Power Point Slide Pesentation 'The 666 Microchip' – July 15, 2008

Motorola is the company producing the microchip for the MONDEX SMARTCARD. More than 250 corporations and 20 countries are involved in the distribution of MONDEX to the world and many nations are “privileged” to use this system, among them: Great Britain, Canada, U.S.A., Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, India, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, El Salvadore and Brazil.

They have developed several implants for humans using the “Bio-chip”.

The “bio-chip” measures 7mm in length and is .075mm wide, about the same size as a grain of rice. It contains a transponder and a rechargeable Lithium battery. A thermocouple circuit that produces an electrical current with the fluctuation of body temperature recharges the battery.

MONDEX spent more than $1.5 million dollars in research just to find the best place to insert the “Bio-chip” into the human body. They found only two satisfactory and efficient places – THE HEAD, underneath the scalp and the backside of the hand specifically … THE RIGHT HAND!

Revelation 13:16, 17 (v16) He causes all, both great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, (v.17) and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16,17

How much of a coincidence is that?

One billion “bio-chips” are being produced by MONDEX a year. Its been in production for at least a year.

They discovered that if the chip were in a card, they would encounter serious problems. The chip could be cut and information changed or falsified. The value could be manipulated, stolen or lost. After you receive the card it will expire in one to two years.

In the end real money will be insecure in the general market.

There is only one solution for this problem, embraced by MOTOROLA … implanting the “biochip” in the right hand or head, where it cannot be removed. If it is removed by surgery, the small capsule will burst and the Lithium and chemicals in the microchip would contaminate the individual.

Moreover, the Global Positioning System (GPS) will detect if it was removed and alert the authorities.

Notice MONDEX means “money in you hand”.

Want some Torture With Your Peanuts?

By Jeffrey Denning

Just when you thought you’ve heard it all...A senior government official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expressed great interest in a so-called safety bracelet that would serve as a stun device, similar to that of a police Taser®. According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers

This bracelet would:

• Take the place of an airline boarding pass

• Contain personal information about the traveler

• Be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage

• Shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes

The Electronic ID Bracelet, as it’s referred to, would be worn by every traveler “until they disembark the flight at their destination.” Yes, you read that correctly. Every airline passenger would be tracked by a government-funded GPS, containing personal, private and confidential information, and would shock the customer worse than an electronic dog collar if the passenger got out of line.

Fox News anchor taken off air after Obama 'terrorist fist jab' gaffe

Fox News anchor ED Hill has lost her show a week after suggesting Barack Obama and his wife Michelle's on-stage victory gesture could be seen as a "terrorist fist jab".

Hill, the anchor of Fox News show America's Pulse, made the comment last Friday after Obama and his wife affectionately bumped fists before his victory speech on becoming the Democratic candidate for president.

"A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," said Hill in her show. "We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says."

According to US media reports Hill, who has been with Fox News Channel since 1998, has now lost her show although she is to stay with the network in an as yet undetermined capacity.

A Quote From A Brother

“Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to it’s people & illegally invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue, & honor of it’s solders on the ground. Somehow those afraid to fight an illegal invasion decades ago are allowed to send solders to die for illegal invasion they started. Somehow torture is tolerated. Somehow lying is tolerated. Somehow reason is being discarded for faith, dogma, & nonsense. Somehow nobody is accountable for this.”

Gas Price May Soar To $10.00

Gas Price May Soar to Between $7 and $10 a Gallon

By DAN DORFMAN
Special to the SunApril 28, 2008


Get ready for another economic shock of major proportions — a virtual doubling of prices at the gas pump to as much as $10 a gallon.

That's the message from a couple of analytical energy industry trackers, both of whom, based on the surging oil prices, see considerably more pain at the pump than most drivers realize.
Gasoline nationally is in an accelerated upswing, having jumped to $3.58 a gallon from $3.50 in just the past week. In some parts of the country, including New York City and the West Coast, gas is already sporting a price tag above $4 a gallon. There was a pray-in at a Chevron station in San Francisco on Friday led by a minister asking God for cheaper gas, and an Arco gas station in San Mateo, Calif., has already raised its price to a sky-high $4.62.

In Manhattan, at a Mobil gas station at York Avenue and East 61st Street, premium gas is now $4.03 a gallon. Two days ago, it was $3.96. Why such a high price? "Blame the people at STOPEC (he meant OPEC) and the oil companies," an attendant there told me.

These increases are taking place before the all-important summer driving season, signaling even higher prices ahead.

That's also the outlook of the Automobile Association of America. "As long as the price of crude oil stays above $100 a barrel, drivers will be forced to pay more and more at the gas pump," a AAA spokesman, Troy Green, said.

Oil recently hit an all-time high of nearly $120 a barrel, more than double its early 2007 price of about $50 a barrel. It closed Friday at $118.52.

The forecasts calling for a jump to between $7 and $10 a gallon are based on the view that the price of crude is on its way to $200 in two to three years.

Translating this price into dollars and cents at the gas pump, one of our forecasters, the chairman of Houston-based Dune Energy, Alan Gaines, sees gas rising to $7-$8 a gallon. The other, a commodities tracker at Weiss Research in Jupiter, Fla., Sean Brodrick, projects a range of $8 to $10 a gallon.

While $7-$10 a gallon would be ground-breaking in America, these prices would not be trendsetting internationally. For example, European drivers are already shelling out $9 a gallon (which includes a $2-a-gallon tax).

Canadians are also being hit with rising gas prices. They are paying the American-dollar equivalent of $4.92 a gallon, and they're being told to brace themselves for prices above $5.65 a gallon this summer.

Early last year, with a barrel of oil trading in the low $50s and gasoline nationally selling in a range of $2.30 to $2.50 a gallon, Mr. Gaines — in an impressive display of crystal ball gazing — accurately predicted oil was $100-bound and that gasoline would follow suit by reaching $4 a gallon.

His latest prediction of $200 oil is open to question, since it would undoubtedly create considerable global economic distress. Further, just about every energy expert I talk to cautions me to expect a sizable pullback in oil prices, maybe to between $50 and $70 a barrel, especially if there's a global economic slowdown.

While Mr. Gaines thinks there could be a temporary decline in the oil price, he's convinced an overall uptrend is unstoppable. In fact, he thinks his $200 forecast could be conservative, and that perhaps $250 could be reached. His reasoning: a combination of shrinking supply and increasing demand, especially from China, India, and America.

Mr. Brodrick's $200 oil forecast is largely predicated on a combination of pretty flat supply and rip-roaring demand. Other key catalysts include surging demand in China and India, where auto sales are booming, and major supply disruptions in Nigeria and also in Mexico, our second-largest source of oil imports, where oil production has fallen off a cliff.

More factors include the ever-present danger of additional supply disruptions from volatile countries in the Middle East that are not our allies, and the unwillingness of SUV-loving Americans to trim their unquenchable thirst for foreign oil. Likewise, for the first time, emerging markets this year will use more oil than America.

To Mr. Brodrick, it all adds up to an ongoing energy bull market. His favorite plays are the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund ; United States Natural Gas Fund LP; Apache Corp.; Occidental Petroleum; Anadarko Petroleum, and Schlumberger.

Lucky Larry wants $12.3 billion more for 9/11

Lucky Larry wants $12.3 billion more for 9/11

By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Associate Editor

Like the proverbial bad penny, Lucky Larry Silverstein keeps popping up. He’s back and he’s bad again. Not content with the nearly $4.6 billion in insurance payments he received to cover his losses at the World Trade Center, he is now seeking $12.3 billion in damages from the airlines and airport security companies for the 9/11 attack in a suit filed in 2004.

Not tainted enough by the fact that Silverstein & Partners took out a lease for 99 years in July of 2001 on the WTC, two months before the attack . . . not content Larry & Partners upped the insurance at that time to $3.5 billion and (presciently) to cover potential hits by airliners flown by “terrorist hijackers” . . .

Not content that Silverstein & Partners subsequently sued the insurers for $7 billion, considering the attack a double strike because separate liners hit Towers One and Two. Not content that Larry spent the next six years in litigation with the insurance companies, only to have the deal fortunately settled, brokered by then Governor Spitzer in 2007, yielding $4.55 to Lucky Larry and Partners . . .

Not content either that his personal stake in the lease was only some $14 million, the balance supplied by his partners. Not content that he made another $500 million on the destruction of his Tower 7, which he owned and quickly rebuilt bigger and better. Not content that no liner hit Tower 7 and that the fires were out, he announced at 3:30 p.m. on 9/11 that there had been so much pain and suffering that he and the NYFD decided to “pull it” -- Tower 7 . . .

Not content that in fact at 5 p,m,, not even two hours later . . . Tower 7 went down at the freefall speed of gravity in a matter of seconds neatly into its own footprint, a classic “internal demolition.” Not content that you can’t set up an internal demolition on a 47-story steel-framed building in less than two hours or two days, or even two weeks. Not content that his “smoking gun” has attracted the attention of every 9/11 critic around the world . . .

Not content that the BBC made an incredible gaffe as a TV journo of theirs, supposedly in New York, reported that Tower 7 had fallen, that is, 26 minutes before it actually fell and with a News24 “time stamp” video to prove it. Not content that even Google had to pull the video . . . Larry Silverstein, the Oliver Twist of 9/11 disaster, is back, asking for more, sir, more please. Incredible! What colossal chutzpah!

But hey, Larry’s got reasons; boy, does he have reasons. His lawyers aired them in the United States Southeastern District Court in Manhattan, the same court in which the 9/11 victims families have been plaintiffs for cases to sue the airlines and security companies, and by the way, where 90 families have been turned down for lawsuits and only two remain who haven’t taken the money and shut up, and where Ellen Mariani has been consistently turned down and continues to be . . .

Yet,Larry’s lawyers have come to ask the wonderful Judge Hellerstein for more, the same Hellerstein who asked all the families to take the money and “move on” and told them that “money was the universal lubricant . . ." What goes around comes around.

By the way, the total claims involved come to about $23 billion. Silverstein’s chunk could endanger claims from other businesses and property owners, defense lawyers say. Why, Donald Migliori himself, the lawyer for the victims’ families, said he was confident “that their claims would not be affected because they would take priority over the property claims,” as reported by the New York Times. So they won’t be taking food from widows’ and children’s mouths to feed Larry, not this week at least.

Nevertheless, Desmond Barry, a lawyer for the airlines, said that if Lucky Larry won his claims, “He could push the total claims beyond the amount of insurance that the airlines and security companies have available. 'There ain’t that much insurance,' Mr. Barry said."
Silverstein’s laundry list for the $12.3 billion goes like this, “$8.4 billion for the replacement of destroyed buildings and $3.9 billion in ‘other costs,’ including $100 million a year in rent to the Port authority and $300 million a year in lost rental income, as well as the cost of marketing and leasing the new buildings.”

Mr. Barry, the Times tells us, reminded Silverstein’s folks that he “had been more than compensated by the nearly $4.6 billion insurance settlement, reached after almost six years of litigation. He argued that Mr. S. was entitled to the market value of the property, which he said had been established by the $3.2 billion.”

Judge Hellerstein was skeptical about Mr. Silverstein’s claim, and asked why he hadn’t sucked up his losses by just “walking away.” Hellerstein asked, “What’s the nature of your recovery,” to which Larry’s lawyer, Mr. Williamson, answered, “For damages suffered by the events of 9/11, not value. Damages.” He claimed the lease required Silverstein to rebuild and keep on paying rent.

Hellerstein retorted, “And so I’m putting to you if you walked away from the lease, you would lose the value of the lease . . . Would you have a further obligation to pay money?” Williamson answered, “You have to examine that question . . . But to me that’s not the test of what are our damages.”

When Hellerstein pressed for a dollar figure on damages, not the “precise amount,” i.e., “some order of magnitude would be appropriate,” Williamson balked. Barry said, “I think their claim is $12.3 billion.” Williamson added, “Plus prejudgment interest,” To which Hellerstein “tartly replied, 'We shouldn’t forget that.'” They won’t let you, Alvin.

Plaintiffs’ lawyers added that even after many settlements, there are seven wrongful death and two injury cases remaining from the more than 90 filed. Migliori, the victims’ survivors’ lawyer, felt that the claims with property damage, including Lucky Larry and some insurance company looking to recoup payments, should allow the death and injury cases priority of payment of damages. Fair enough.

Judge Hellerstein passed on setting a trial date. He said that would be “fictitious,” yet set a deadline for fact-finding for Silverstein to offer more documentation of his claim -- or risk losing it. Any trials, by the way, seem to be more than a year away.

The real caveat here is that to win a case of that size for damages, Silverstein would have to go to court for discovery. Meaning his lawyers could bring in every fireman who heard a blast, Silverstein himself for his “pull” remark, and even Hizzoner Rudy Giuliani for saying that morning, at 9:15 to ABC’s Peter Jennings, on the street that someone told him the towers were coming down. In short, you could grill ass like the devil until you found out what really happened.
Bottom line, Larry could get a billion dollar bone thrown at him, a take-the-money and-shut-up bone. Or Larry could end up in cement shoes, for real or legally. After all, Larry knew, going into the lease purchase that the Towers were asbestos-laden bombs, the first 60 floors sprayed with the building material when built from 1968 to '72. And they were supposed to be taken down eventually, according to a 1971 New York Council ban on asbestos.

Obviously, the buildings couldn’t be legally taken down by explosion or implosion. They would have to be taken down piece by piece. The cost would be in the billions by today’s standards. But there was another way to take them down, wasn’t there?

The Good Guys Dance While the Beat Goes On.

I found this over at Smoking Mirrors

The Good Guys Dance While the Beat Goes On.

While the general public sits, in a drugged stupor, as hallucinating television sets bring them Donald Duck reporting the news, or Porky Pig from the runway at Milan, other things are being said and done which might have escaped the notice of the wider world. Japanese lawmaker and former Chief Cabinet Secretary under Koizumi has had a lot to say about 9/11 and then there is the former President of Italy as well as the one time head of their secret service who has said 911 was done by the CIA and Mossad and then there is the former German Minister Andreas Von Buelow who has something to say and all those professional airline pilots who have something to say as well as all those scholars and scientists who have something to say and then, there’s me. I’ve got something to say too and we’ll get to that.

I want everyone reading this essay who is in denial about 9/11 to ask themselves what they base that denial on. Ask yourself, “Why do I believe that Bin Laden attacked the WTC and points south?” Go stand in front of the mirror people and ask yourself what your credentials are for determining the scientific aspects of the 9/11 attacks. Ask yourself if you are or were at a high level in your government and privy to classified information. Ask yourself if you are trained in the sciences represented by those doubting the official version of the event or a commercial pilot like those linked here. Ask yourself if that really is Porky Pig talking to you from the runway in Milan.

The answer to the first question has to be, “Donald Duck told me so.” He may have been dressed like whatever wax figure reads you your news but it was Donald Duck who actually said it. You believe it because it is what you were told and nobody is going to tell you different because the people in charge are the good guys or they wouldn’t be in charge, right?

These are the good guys that told you the proven lies that have led to the mass murders in Iraq. These are the people who orchestrated and are covering up THIS! Go ahead… read it. You see Halliburton, the former playground of the vice president, reaping obscene profits from the war and poisoning American soldiers with bad water and you say, “These are the good guys.”

You see Dick Cheney go to Saudi Arabia and right afterwards you see that the Saudis are now preparing for nuclear war and you say “These are the good guys.” You see the sub prime mess and the food and energy shortages and the bees dying from genetically modified seeds and all of it because your government takes their orders from the money men who run the corporations and banks (and which is the clinical definition of fascism) and you say, “These are the good guys.”

April is here and strange doings are afoot. Al Sadr has shown the world that the U.S. and Israel along with ‘The City’ in London have lost control of the Iraq War, as if they ever had control outside of an insulated bunker on a small piece of real estate. What’s a fascist to do? Next stop Iran. The good guys are working out the details of the next false flag that will justify their long term plans.

Zionist controlled AOL is shutting down websites that question 9/11 while newscasters call for 9/11 truthers to be put in camps.

Twenty eight million Americans are on foodstamps. Isn’t that about one in ten people? Repossessed houses are being stripped of their copper and other fittings. And the beat goes on. And the beat goes on.

A person still in possession of a mind would ask themselves… why? You can’t say that the people responsible for these things are just stupid and incompetent. You have to know that there is a point to all of this. Ask yourself what this point must be. Why does the big freight train of life seem to be heading for a collective disaster of monumental proportion while your news sources are chattering away like Ritalin infused chipmunks searching for Jodie Foster and D.B. Cooper's parachute?

I’m not Nostradamus but you don’t have to be a seer to see. Most of you know that the official 9/11 story is garbage. By a wide margin you have been polled and found to have said so and yet… and yet… the beat goes on. High ranking figures in governments around the world are coming out and flat out saying that the CIA and Mossad engineered this event. Scientists and scholars are rebutting every aspect of the lies and still the beat goes on and these are still the good guys; over a million dead, people tortured and children raped and… these are the good guys.

It is a dark and dreadful thing, given that 9/11 was done by the intelligence services of certain governments that elements of those same governments can imprison and torture men for information they could not possibly have since the events they are being questioned about are being carried out by the forces that are torturing them. This is beyond Kafka folks and it is happening in real life.

Mark my words people… the day will come when all of these things will be widely known and you will remember that you did and said nothing.

As the arrogant, rogue nation of Israel carries out it’s genocide on the original inhabitants of the land they occupy, your voice is not heard. Hundreds of thousands of people who have committed no crime live under the iron boot of a merciless regime which has abandoned all pretense of humanity and it is not only the Palestinians who suffer. And you say nothing because you are ignorant or afraid. You are afraid that you will be tagged with bankrupt terminology for daring to question the methods and motives of mass murdering demons dressed in human form. Because you cannot stand up, one day you too will kneel and receive the same tender ministrations that others have before you.

It is not a question of maybe this or maybe that any more. The stark truth is there before you in black and white and Technicolor and the beat goes on. It is within yourself that you must finally deal with your silence, your indifference and fear. All of the convenient lies that you tell your conscious mind percolate in the depths beneath your awareness and one day… one day they will rise to the surface and convict you as the beat goes on.

There is no hiding place from the truth of your complicity in the tragic events of your time. While you feed in your dreams in the land of plenty, the land of plenty is no more. While you imagine any one of your candidates will address the real issues that surround you, they mouth platitudes and bend their knee to the forces that cause all of the horrors of the time. You will have to answer for why you did and said nothing as the beat went on.

I gain no pleasure from having to tell you these things. I do not fabricate these things in my imagination. They are there for you to see for yourselves but something within you has failed. Something that should have been there went missing. Some quality that made you human has traveled on to more willing locations and you remain as something indefinable… not human… not yet a beast. But when the thin veneer of civilization is at last stripped away we shall see what you become.

For the moment the music is still playing. You travel to your jobs and you go about your activities and entertainments. Despite all of the evidence of these uncertain times you do believe it’s just a rough patch in the road and that mysterious elves will come out in the night while you are sleeping and fix your world. We shall see what ‘the good guys’ have to say about that. We shall see how you dance in time as the beat goes on.

Dog's Purpose

Dog's Purpose (according to a 6-year-old) Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker.

The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Linda, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying.

I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Linda told me they thought it would be good for six-year -old Shane to observe the procedure.

They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.

Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.

We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, 'I know why.' Startled, we all turned to him.

What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, 'People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?' The six-year-old continued, 'Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Remember, if a dog were your teacher, you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up th e opportunity to go for a joy ride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by.

All will be well.

I am what I am by the grace of God

Was There More To The Fall Of Spitzer

More To The Rise and Fall of Elliot Spitzer Than Meets the Eye

March 17, 2008

by Mark Glenn, Correspondent, American Free Press Newspaper

When the scandal involving New York Governor Elliot Spitzer and his tryst with a $5,000-a-night prostitute named ‘Kristen’ was injected like an informational narcotic into the American consciousness the 2nd week of March, most people merely chalked it up as yet one more corrupt politician caught with his pants down, no pun intended. The theme of a moralizing, self-righteous politico pointing his finger into a news camera and Pharisaically grandstanding to the rest of the world while on the sly he was busying himself with the very business he was tasked with destroying is almost as old as the oldest profession itself.

However, information surrounding this case indicates there is much more to it than simply issues of hypocrisy and infidelity, although they certainly play a part. And once again–surprise, surprise–what it reveals is the hidden hand of that troublesome little experiment in Jewish self-rule violently nestled on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean known as the state of Israel.
In the first case, only a fool would assume the case involving Spitzer’s infidelity was some isolated, not-all-too-common thing. Realistic persons can assume (rightly) that American political figures are as rare at businesses peddling flesh as gravediggers are at graveyards. It is a fact that with political power comes the perception of invincibility and untouchability, where problems ‘get fixed’, dirt is swept under the rug and everything is ‘taken care of’.

That being said, let us begin with exhibit A–As it turns out the owner of the now-infamous Emperor’s VIP Club providing ‘services’ to Spitzer was operated by one Mark Michael Brener, an Israeli national who, when arrested, was in possession of two Israeli passports and a ton of cash. The connection between the state of Israel and the international trafficking of pornography, prostitution, and (if it can be believed) the sex slave business (that up until recently was legal in the Jewish state, provided the slave in question was not Jewish) is a well-founded fact.

Gangsters from the ‘Russian Mafiya’ (which Jewish American writer Robert Friedman ‘outed’ as being not as much Russian as Jewish) have made Israel their home away from home in running their international operations and enjoy close ties with Israel’s intelligence service Mossad. In both his books ‘By Way Of Deception’ and ‘The Other Side of Deception’ former Israeli intelligence officer Victor Ostrovsky details how one of Mossad’s primary functions was (is) entrapping important persons involved in politics, business, media and whatnot into compromising and embarrassing positions so as to make them more ‘pliable’ to the demands of the Jewish state. The fact that the Emperor’s Club was operating on an international basis indicates that more than likely it was connected with powerful forces (re, the intelligence services of a foreign country) that could offer it protection and cover. In short, the ‘escort service’ most likely served a dual role as a blackmailing operation for America’s power elite, and given the fact that Spitzer is Jewish and that it was an ‘Israeli shop’ indicates he thought he was safe.

Next, there is the timing of the story. Supposedly the whole affair was discovered as a result of ‘financial irregularities’ that triggered an investigation in 2006 that made its way all the way up to the US Justice Department. How fortuitous then for the war-hungry Neocons that the story broke just a few dozen hours prior to the announced ‘resignation’ of Admiral William Fallon, commander of CentCom. As commander of all military operations in the Middle East, Fallon was the one man standing in the way of George Bush and his Neocon ‘crazies’ (Fallon’s words) from attacking Iran. He made it clear on several occasions that an attack on Iran would not happen on ‘his watch’ and signaled his absolute opposition to widening an already disastrous war to include Judea’s ancient enemies in Persia. News was leaked a week prior to Fallon’s ‘resignation’ that he might be ‘relieved of duty’ by Bush, and then, almost by magical coincidence, there is Spitzer with his hand caught in the cookie jar right smack dab in the middle of everything, and during the most important days when Fallon’s story would have gotten traction. Tragically, the sacking of the one man who could have delayed Armageddon is washed down the memory hole and forgotten.

Exhibit B.

If indeed this was a deliberate political hit and Spitzer was not some innocent bystander caught in the cross fire, there are several reasons that paint a credible picture as to why he would have been targeted ahead of others. Enter exhibit C, the fact that as a Jew he committed a capital offense within his community when as Attorney General for the state of New York he investigated certain powerful Jewish groups, and not just ANY group such as ‘Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership,’ but rather the mother of them all, the World Jewish Congress. Tasked with receiving, handling and distributing reparations for Holocaust survivors through one of its adjuncts known as the ‘Claims Conference,’ Spitzer’s investigation was concentrated on–surprise surprise–‘financial irregularities’ within the organization.

‘How rich’, as the old saying goes, considering the fact that supposedly this was what led to Spitzer himself being caught red-handed. A story appearing in the Israeli publication Ynet of 2006 (the same year the investigations directed by and against Spitzer took place ) entitled Where Did The Shoah Money Go? details how a pittance of the billions collected in Holocaust reparations actually makes its way into the hands of survivors while at the same time executives of the WJC and Claims Conference spend millions on lavish trips for themselves annually. In the Ynet piece it discussed Spitzer’s investigation as well as his ‘grave’ report on the matter, that revealed

‘…Apparent financial irregularities amounting to millions of dollars, administrative deficiencies and circular transfers of 1.2 million dollars form the accounts of the WJC in New York to a bank account in Geneva…From there, the money found its way to a private bank account in England and from there to an account in the name of a private company called Solar…Upon opening of the investigation, the money was returned…’

The piece went on to describe how the money was used by officials of the WJC for lavish trips to Paris, Berlin, Rome, Vienna, Geneva, Rio de Janeiro, Budapest, London, and of course Tel Aviv. In one case involving then-president of the organization Israel Singer it was revealed that in one year’s time he personally spent almost half a million dollars on 1st class plane tickets, posh hotel rooms and rich meals that would choke a pig to death. In addition, Spitzer’s investigation revealed Singer withdrew as much as ¾ of a million dollars in a year’s time for ‘expenses’ related to ‘Shoah’ business that obviously would be written off as tax deductions.

This by itself may seem like nothing, but when viewed in light of ancient Jewish traditions, and in particular something known as ‘mesira’ is when the picture takes on a whole new hue.
A recent piece appearing in the Forward (considered the most respected and influential Jewish newspaper in America) entitled “Case of Informant Reverberates Through L.A.’s Orthodox Community” reveals a phenomenon unheard-of by most persons outside of those nursed on Italian gangster films such as ‘The Godfather’.

In this case it is the ‘code of silence’ that is part and parcel of closed, secretive communities and organized crime groups. Within Jewish circles, ‘Mesira’ is the business of Jews ‘ratting out’ other Jews to Gentile governments, an offense so serious it is punishable by death for the ‘moser’, meaning the informant. Interviewed for the Forward piece was one Rabbi Daniel Korobkin, who said that“People are shell-shocked about the thing on many levels…Number one, our neighbors and friends are implicated, and number two, an act of mesira on this level was perpetrated by one of our own.”

The case highlighted by the Forward detailed the uproar in LA’s Jewish community over the fact that a rabbi named Kasirer agreed to act as an informant on a huge money-laundering scheme involving the Spinka Orthodox Community in LA. Another ‘prominent’ Orthodox Rabbi not named in the piece had the following to say–
‘He (the informer) is certainly persona non grata across the board…Everybody is just disgusted with the idea that a person tried to save himself by hurting others.”‘

Forget the fact that serious felonies were involved with the case involving the fraud and embezzlement of hundreds of millions of dollars. The important thing was that code of silence that was violated and this was what had the Jewish community in LA kvetching up a hurricane.
The fact of the matter is that by investigating the world‘s most powerful Jewish organization, the World Jewish Congress, Elliot Spitzer ‘ratted out’ his fellow Jews to a (at least in theory) Gentile government and as a result, incurred a death sentence of sorts. Not resorting to the more blunt, quick death that a bullet from a silenced pistol to the head would have affected, instead his executioners chose the noisy, embarrassing political death of having him step down from the governor’s office in disgrace. For the rest of his life he will be remembered for one thing and one thing only, so much so that he couldn’t win the office of county dog catcher if he were the only candidate on the ballot.

There are other reasons for interested parties to bring down Spitzer in such a way besides the aforementioned, one of which is making an example of him for others. It is a rule of thumb that periodically thugs have to beat up one of the kids on the playground just to show the rest of the crew who’s boss. As in the case of Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and others who have run afoul of organized Jewish interests in this country, an example was made of Spitzer for the rest of the political herd to consider should they ever decide to get frisky or confident of their own power.

In a day when America is going bankrupt and is hated all over the world for her support of the MOTHER of all Jewish causes–the state of Israel–and her seemingly never-ending thirst for blood, Spitzer going down in such an ignominious manner was an all-too-effective way of warning other powerful persons in America–‘We can bring you down within a matter of hours, and don’t you EVER forget it bubba.’

And finally, there is exhibit D, the silence…The DEAFENING silence from the Jewish community concerning the prosecution (persecution) of one of their own. Generally groups such as the ADL, AIPAC, JDL, JDO and others circle the wagons whenever a member of the tribe is in the hot seat, come out like a swarm of hornets and shout down whatever bad light the accused happens to suffer at that moment, irrespective of his innocence or guilt. Keep in mind that the ADL was formed as a result of the vigilante execution of Leo Frank, a Jew convicted in a court of law of raping and murdering 13 year old Mary Phagan. When accused spies Weissman and Rosen of the American Israel Political Affairs Committee were arrested and charged with espionage a few years back, pundits and media hounds asserted it was a political pogrom orchestrated by ‘anti-Semites’ working in the Justice department. They pointed (and continue to point) to the fact that the law used in prosecuting the two Israeli spies was a century-old statute and very obscure.

Coincidentally, the law used in bringing the heat down on Spitzer also happens to be a century old and yet, the hounds are as quiet as church mice. When one considers all the noise made by organized Jewish groups both in the US and Israel for the release of convicted Jewish spy and traitor Jonathon Pollard vs. the silence surrounding the present hot soup in which Spitzer finds himself swimming, the contrast is, well, ‘pregnant’ with implications, for lack of a better word.

And everyone can dismiss the idea that this story was just ‘too big’ for the media to effectively cover up. Recall the stories released in the wee hours following the 9/11 attacks concerning the 5 dancing Israelis and the white van carrying explosives driven by members of Israel’s intelligence service Mossad towards the George Washington bridge–Certainly explosive stories, considering what took place that day, and yet barely anyone in America knows about them. Theoretically it could be Christmas and if the media wanted to cover up the fact, rest assured it would not see the light of day.

Other theories swirl about as to why Spitzer was targeted. Some deal with–again, ‘financial irregularities’, but in this case they are safely deflected towards other targets such as Bush and Co, which may be true or which may be a red herring set loose into the fishbowl of political discourse by interested parties working to protect Jewish interests operating under the ‘By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War’ theorem espoused by Mossad.

One thing everyone can bet on though, and even in these mad days of utter unpredictability, which is that the political assassination of Elliot Spitzer is–like all things taking place in the Occupied Territories known as the United States these days–the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There are two sides to every story: What the talking heads say happened and what really happened, and rarely do the two of them meet (even secretly) and get to know each other better, and not even in the most ‘conjugal’ of all places, the Emperor’s Club known as Washington DC.

They Fired My Doctor!!!

Doctor claims her activism got her fired

Packard Community Clinic says Catherine Wilkerson refused to sign contract

Thursday, February 14, 2008

BY JO COLLINS MATHIS The Ann Arbor News

Ann Arbor physician Catherine Wilkerson says she's been fired from the Packard Community Clinic for her political activism.

Officials with the clinic insist that's not the case and say she was dismissed for refusing to sign an employee contract.

Wilkerson said she refused to sign the contract because it included a vague clause that violates her freedom of speech and is unlike anything she's seen in a contract in her 30 years in medicine.

"I think the clause was put in as a tool to force me out of the clinic,'' she said.

Jim Frenza, chairman of the clinic's board of trustees, said the contract is among the standard papers given to all clinic employees.

"Obviously, we're concerned because there are two stories out there,'' said Frenza. "One I think is factual, and the other is the story she's providing people.''

Frenza said several weeks ago Wilkerson was offered a contract identical to the one the clinic's other two physicians were given, and she failed to sign it within the required four weeks. She also refused to sign a letter of acceptance that went along with a new employee manual. Signing the letter is a condition of employment, he said, and others signed it.

"We obviously take a very, very strong exception to what she's saying on her Web site,'' he said, referring to www.defendwilkerson.org, which is organizing an online petition drive in support of Wilkerson.

Wilkerson, who has worked at the clinic for five years, is an outspoken critic of the local Jewish community's support for Israel.

Last December, she was found not guilty in a trial after she was charged with interfering with police and emergency responders during a disturbance at a guest lecturer's speech at the University of Michigan in November 2006.

Wilkerson claims that last October, before the trial, clinic medical director Ray Rion told her she was not a good fit for the clinic because of her political activities, citing the publicity surrounding the approaching criminal trial and her human rights activities on behalf of the Palestinian people.

Three weeks after a jury found her not guilty on Dec. 3, Wilkerson said Rion gave her a contract requiring her to refrain from conduct, both at work and outside of work, which reflects negatively on the reputation and public image of the clinic; which negatively affects the ability of the clinic to retain current patients, attract new patients or attract donations; or which may otherwise in Rion's judgment reflect poorly upon the public image of Wilkerson or the clinic.
Calls to Rion were referred to Frenza.

The clinic has offered Wilkerson a severance agreement and a letter of recommendation related to her clinical skills.

Wilkerson said she wants a contract, not a severance agreement.

Wilkerson said she's exploring her options for the future, but is still willing to sit down and negotiate a fair contract with the clinic.

Frenza said two other employees have also resigned, including her nurse and a care provider who worked one day a week. He said he's concerned about the clinic's reputation because of the controversy surrounding Wilkerson, but noted that the clinic has a 35-year history in the area with many loyal patients.

The clinic, at 3174 Packard Road, is a primary and mental health care practice that serves patients regardless of ability to pay. More than 50 percent of patients are uninsured.

This was my Doctor & was 1 of the best I have ever had. She went out of her way to find out what was wrong with me. 4 years & a lot of pain. The other doctors at PCC would just give me a pill. Dr. Wilkerson would even do follow up calls to make sure I was doing ok! It seems that
McCarthyism is alive & well & is practiced at Packard Community Clinic.

Record Oil Profits AGAIN!!!

Exxon Mobil Profit Sets Record Again

By any measure, Exxon Mobil’s performance last year was a blowout.

The company reported Friday that it beat its own record for the highest profits ever recorded by any company, with net income rising 3 percent to $40.6 billion, thanks to surging oil prices. The company’s sales, more than $404 billion, exceeded the gross domestic product of 120 countries.
Exxon Mobil earned more than $1,287 of profit for every second of 2007.

The company also had its most profitable quarter ever. It said net income rose 14 percent, to $11.7 billion, or $2.13 a share, in the last three months of the year. The company handily beat analysts’ expectations of $1.95 a share, after missing targets in the last two quarters.

Like most oil companies, Exxon benefited from a near doubling of oil prices, as well as higher demand for gasoline last year. Crude oil prices rose from a low of around $50 a barrel in early 2007 to almost $100 by the end of the year — the biggest jump in oil prices in any one year.

Winter Wonder Land 2.0

This is what my New Year's Day looked like. We got hit with 10 inches + of snow over night.

Again there wasn't any snow on the ground before 10:00pm last night.

Under this snow is about an inch or two of slush... so it's a real pain in the back to shovel

I haven't seen a plow truck yet, I guess it must be their day off.

And they are calling for another 3-4 inches for today!
