"Fake Plastic Trees"?

Thought this might be of interest to some of you:


Shortly after the bombing of Pan-Am jet 103 Time magazine published an article reporting that a rogue CIA unit had done the bombing in oder to kill another CIA team that was on the plane and about to expose their drug trafficking operations. Here are some recent articles on the release of the man convicted of the bombing and jailed. There are been numerous revelations about the case about tampering with evidence, paying someone two million dollars to testify against Libya and also charges of withholding evidence that proved the innocence of the accused.

Insider Selling in August was 30.6 times insider Buying. The insiders are bailing themselves out. Selling their worthless stock in their own companies.

Any audit of The Federal Reserve will just end up being a whitewash. They'll select people to be on the committee who they'll know in advance will play the game, and come up with the conclusions that the powers that be want them to come up with.

LOL...And somehow the people on that committee won't report that The Fed is privately owned, is run for profit, creates money from nothing, and charges the U.S. taxpayer interest on every single dollar that it creates.

Now that's what I call a kickass audit!

HR 1207, the Fed, & the teeth-gnashing Truth - #12

ATL's infowars link:

and Lenny's non-link-substantiated posted comment:
"Insider Selling in August was 30.6 times insider Buying. The insiders are bailing themselves out. Selling their worthless stock in their own companies",

beautifully combine to point the finger at exactly why RanD's Aug. 30, 2009 3:22 "Die-off" & the Profit Motive - #10 post closed with the words:

"...it's deceit via denial and an irrational desire for money & power accommodated by a primarily greed-driven profit-oriented economic system that's led us to The Disappearing Male situation, as well as to The Disappearing Honey Bees etc etc situations, [a properly repositioned comma, there] and is in fact exactly what underpins & drives our now global-wide comprehensively socio-psycho-eco-systemically 'intoxified' (i.e., 'Satanized') human condition.

"Moreover: the above also tells us why we're necessarily going to see the profit-motive progressively diminish into nothing more than simply an indicator of enterprise efficacy right as this developmental process we're going through proceeds to completion."

*****

Hey gals & guys, I'd say the above tells us there's some pretty fine family teamwork coming into focus down here at FTW land.

PS...

businessman - Had I seen it coming I'd have damn sure worked in reference to your above 10:07 PM typically right-on-target post with my 4:36 AM post. Love reading your stuff!

RE: 9/11 planner is recast as key asset for CIA... i can't find this article. the link JO (rf) provided leads to a dead end. i don't really need to read the article, just pointing out the dead end. msnbc & w.post do not have it.

i've read enough 9-11 stuff to last me another lifetime. another article cementing the "fix-is-in" is unnecessary, although it might serve as a pointer on the ever-changing roadmap.

thanks to all here for their continued diligence, i love this site, i love all you posters, i love JO & MR and wish you all well!

Has the backtracking on swine flu begun already? Wonder of those millions of vaccinations will still be given - well, not really.

I know there's a way to keep links from getting mangled in these comments, but am too tired at the moment.

RayLeeUS:

Thanks for alerting us to a valuable article, but your links didn’t work. I searched within the CNN Website using “gupta flu guide” and got
Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s suggestions on the flu
.

Dr. Gupta would be surgeon general right now, but he withdrew his name in order to keep his position as a private sector commentator on just such issues as this. Perhaps it’s true that sometimes we can do more outside of government than on the inside. Anyway, this is the well-considered advice of America’s leading doctor.

Again, thanks RayLee.

Good news !


GM China expects sales to rise more than 40% this year

“Buick, a struggling brand elsewhere that is popular among China’s middle class, saw sales rise 102.8 percent year-on-year last month with more than 38,900 units sold, the company said.”

Cruise the Miracle Mile. Get laid in the back seat. Your time has come, China. Never mind disappearing farmland, pollution or parking problems. What you need is drive-in movies. No, wait. Meter-wide plasma TVs with DVD players in your own cement mansion, and robotic massage chairs, too. This is The Life, China. Welcome to the Spectacle. Have a cheeseburger.
