The Disaster Within The Disaster: It’s Time To Investigate The Aid Fiasco
By Danny Schechter
Haiti remains a death trap, with an aid program that has sat by and watched thousands die without relief.

The day that I write this is the 47th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the then sitting president of the United States. And, as many argue, perhaps the last true POTUS. The nine men to occupy the throne since have been figureheads, there to do the bidding of the shadow government. The muscle provided by the military industrial complex, the finances provided by the Federal Reserve.
We now have, in this fall of 2010, a total assault on what America used to be. Trips…

BUBBLES part two.
Big-Brother self destructs.
ONE: Finks are fodder for BB's ploys. Proven fact, complainers are usually hiding something. Busting walk-ins, like angry girlfriends, is the lazy way of law enforcement.
You might even bust the target instead of the leak sometimes. Doesn't seem likely thou, as certain team reflexes would kick in fast.
