U.S. Taxpayers Risk $9.7 Trillion on Bailouts as Senate Votes
By Mark Pittman and Bob Ivry
Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages.
The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have lent or spent almost $3 trillion over the past two… Continue

It is getting bad. It can't be ignored any longer. This needs to stop right now. STFU with the white terrorist crap Special Ops. The real danger is from the drug cartels over the border, now happily within our borders. And the touchy feely are worried about how we shouldn't bother, but let the people from our southern border in, grow up. For all those of you who are naive, the cartel is happy if we would leave the border open. The US gov. needs to stop us jerking around and send armed military… Continue

New World Order
By Justin Fox Thursday, Feb. 05, 2009
In recent weeks, the world has been politely standing by and watching how things play out with the fiscal stimulus and latest bank-bailout plans in Washington. Yes, there's been some grumbling overseas about "buy American" provisions in the stimulus bill, but for the most part, officials elsewhere don't want to step on the toes of a new President to whom they are favorably disposed. They also don't want to… Continue

Imagine that, closed economies will come out of the financial downturn in better shape than countries that blindly went all out for globalization. Don't ever believe that corporations need relaxed regulations otherwise they will go bankrupt or move to another country. This article debunks corporate spin. Intelligent regulation and enforcement of it by countries that were not blinded by the glitter of a fast dollar (Amero?) are positioning them to buy the world. It would be nice if the US would… Continue

Time Warner Cable to Expand Trial of Internet Caps
NEW YORK (AP) February 4, 2009 — Time Warner Cable Inc. last year became the first major U.S. Internet service provider to charge customers extra if they exceeded a certain amount of data traffic every month. That trial run apparently went well, because the company said Wednesday that it will expand the test…
This shooting happened in San Gabriel, California. Eerily similar to the shooting in Florida. Masked gunmen open fire on a crowd then run, no motive and no leads. Could this be a new gang tactic, copycat crime or the start of a operation that one: gets people to feel unsafe in middle America and two: to ban all weapons.

Another reason to get you in the system. So I guess fingerprints aren't enough anymore. Next it will be spinal taps. You see, spinal fluid is unique to each person. As the cop bends you over the hood of his car, "don't worry I had a two hour training course , this won't hurt" New at your local postal service pay for one spinal tap and get the next one… Continue

New Word Order is already on the rise, this "crisis" is just the beginning. We know that this economy crisis was made by our own leaders and that this is exactly what they wanted. David Rockefeller said that we need a crisis in order to bring forth a new world order. David Rockefeller owns almost all of NYC, he is also in control of the banking system here. See how things seem to be connected.He is also a member of the trilateral commission, there main goal is to have a "globalized… Continue

Just a small increase in funds in order to win the hearts and minds of YOU. I bet the psychological operations are not just for foreigners. Do we really need to waste billions to influence other countries? Not if our leaders would stop sticking the US in other countries' business, devastating their land, and manipulating their governments. It is sad they hate using diplomacy to solve problems. Would rather act like they are trying to talk while launching a gorilla campaign. The ultimate poker… Continue

The whistleblower who detected the alleged Bernard Madoff fraud nine years ago yesterday subjected the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to a devastating public attack.
Testifying to Congress, Harry Markopolos accused the US regulator of being scared of confronting big Wall Street investors and of being crippled by internal squabbling and incompetence. Mr Markopolos said that many banks and funds on Wall Street knew about Mr Madoff’s fraud before it was exposed but “those… Continue
Two things about the article. First, it seems that the world will not come to a devastating end where all life is extinct as some want the citizenry to believe. Yes in a warmer climate some species will become extinct. However, if the planet cools some species will become extinct. I bet most animals and plants will adapt like they always do. Seems to be, for the most part, beyond our control.
