Now that John Tiffany has had his law license temporarily suspended, what is Jack Idema to do?
Temporary Suspension Order — John E. Tiffany
New Jersey Law Journal
October 19, 2011 The Disciplinary Review Board having filed with the Court pursuant to Rule 1:20-15(k) a recommendation in DRB 11-272, that JOHN E. TIFFANY of HACKENSACK, who was admitted to the bar of this State in 1992, be suspended from the practice of law and compelled to pay a monetary sanction to the Disciplinary Oversight Committee for failure to comply with the determination of the District VI Fee Arbitration Committee in Docket No.VI-2011-0346F, and good cause appearing;
Idema can’t use Tiffany’s letterhead for future litigation and he is still hiding in Mexico thinking up new get-rich quick schemes. He is going to have to come up with some cash real soon. The next hearing involving William Hagler and Isabeau Dakota, is scheduled in Fayetteville, NC, this coming today.
The Idema Fan Club hasn’t mentioned the ongoing court drama on their site. Maybe because Idema is losing. Idema is directing his lawyers, Seth Neyhart and Thomas Stark. as well as writing up all the legal documents for them just to sign off on, yet they still are in a nasty court battle. William London should just step in but of course, it would be a conflict of interest issue. Rightfully so. William London has over 13 corporations registered with him as the Registered Agent in North Carolina alone.
Four of these 13 corporations are controlled by Jack Idema:
Isabeau Dakota, Inc.
3095 Tango Aviation LLC
Star America Aviation Company LTD
Counter Group, Inc.
For Isabeau Dakota, the last annual report was filed on 12-19-08. Nothing since that date. This is odd considering there WAS income during that period. Harvest Ministries is still renting although Idema is trying to evict them. As for the other three businesses ; NO ANNUAL REPORT HAS EVER BEEN FILED!
And of course, there is Walnut Hill Holdings, LLC registered in Delaware. The H J Idema Trust was originally under that group, but now to hide its remaining assets from creditors, so Idema is scurrying to find another option. He better hurry, the clock is ticking and the house of cards is finally about to fall. Not to mention taxes will be due very shortly on the crumbling assets Idema has left.
In late October, Fluffy, the Siamese tom cat, owned by the famous Seattle gay artist Herman Wonk, disappeared near the OWS camp site at Seattle Central Community College. The next pet to suddenly disappear was Euclid, the friendly black Labrador, well known in the upscale Capitol Hill district as a highly intelligent pooch who gave the answers to complex math problems by means of barks. Euclid was last seen tied to a street sign at a Starbucks only a block from the OWS camp in the early morning hours of November 11, 2011, as the owner briefly ducked into the coffee shop for his morning cup of latte and a sweet treat for Euclid who loved Starbuck's world class blueberry muffin for breakfast.
"Where could my little dog be off to without his favorite blueberry muffin?," thought Seattle College professor of Algebra 101 Rex Steiner, as he raced down the dark, cold and foggy Seattle street searching for his best friend, and continued thinking,
"Euclid is a well known and respected member of this academic community who has made many appearances on local and national talk shows. I blame myself for Euclid's going missing because I stayed inside the shop longer than usual in an argument with a former student of mine, a very attractive young lady who ripped me for allowing her to become a Humanities major owning a useless B.S. degree at age 22 with an unpaid $120,000 student loan and a lousy job at Starbucks! I mean was it my fault? Did I FORCE her to get that damn loan? I thought her father was a GS-13, step ten with the Department of Labor in Seattle and made the big bucks. Clearly, I got her confused with the pimple faced boy nerd in the third row at the 10.05 a.m. class who used his father's slide rule because he couldn't afford a pocket calculator and college tuition. Accidents happen! And I told the young lady as much in the heated argument that involved several other of my former students working as now as bus boys and strip artists at various gay dance clubs in the Seattle and Tacoma area."
"But I digress. As you can see my attention was stolen for perhaps 15 minutes. When I departed the coffee shop, Euclid was missing from his usual sign post. I thought at first he was chasing after Fee-Fee La Rue, the bitch poodle owned by Seattle Central Community College instructor of Feminist Studies instructor Donna Eastwood who used to be called "Clint" when a macho Teamster longshoreman at the port of Seattle. Therefore, knowing that Clint, err, Donna had an early "feminist anger management" class where Fee-Fee would howl in rage to his man hating lecture,"
So the upset professor hurried down the street towards SCCC.
In minutes he arrived at the main entrance of the college with cold Starbuck's coffee in his right hand and Blueberry muffin in the left. Then he heard familiar barks and looked left to see Euclid being pulled into the OWS camp by a very ugly girl and dirty girl perhaps 16 years old with a hungry look on her face. He hurried over rescue Man's Best Friend in the five years since his wife died, when his path was blocked by a Seattle policeman who was dressed head to toe in black under a white helmet. The last look Rex had of Euclid was the dog being pulled into the camp by the dirty and ugly girl who had been joined by an equally dirty and ugly boy of 17 or 18. Euclid's howls of fear and pain cut into the heart like a sharp knife.
"Civilians, except for the Media, can't enter the OWS camp," said the police officer who helped himself to Rex's coffee and Euclid's blueberry muffin.
"Oh, and thanks for the Starbuck's coffee and muffin even if they are as cold as me poor dead mother! The Seattle Police Department is always grateful for the heart felt gifts from upscale citizens like yourself! Lord, knows we have have hard time keeping a roof over our heads, and feeding our large Irish-American families, even with the overtime we get from the commie mayor of Seattle for breaking OWS heads. O'Hara is my name and _"
"Officer O'Hara!" shouted Rex, "I've just been DOGNAPPED by a very ugly and dirty girl who walked right in front of you dragging my poor dog, Euclid, " Rex shouted at the policeman busy drinking his coffee and eating Euclid's muffin. The burly Irish cop made quick work of the treats and responded,
"Yes, I saw the terrified animal being dragged passed me howling in pain just like an a poor Irish drunk in Seattle at the waterfront being cut off at Kelly's Pub, but what was I to do? There has been an outbreak of The Black Death at this OWS and the health department has ordered the general public except for the Media to be banned from the camp. The only reason the SPD allows the Media, especially The Seattle Times, inside the OWS camp is because we cops want them all to die because of the negative coverage we got at the recent Westlake Park riot where we maced that 84 year old woman..."
"The Black Death?!?" shouted the irate math teacher at the smiling Irish cop, "The Bubonic Plague in Seattle?!? There hasn't been a large public outbreak in the West since about 1350 in England! Why hasn't this been reported on the television news, or at least The Seattle Times? If the dread Black Death gets lose in Seattle, thousands could die and _"
People stopped and soon a crowd of upper middle class jogging togged yuppies gathered, who were quickly joined by a platoon of fellow bicycle mounted young and upwardly mobile, one of whom handed his lawyer business card to Rex Steiner and said, "Experienced hired gun here if you want to sue the Seattle PD."
The policeman O'Hara smiled at man, "Now lad there's no problem here." Then he boomed to crowd, "Move along, people, move along, nothing to see here! Just a poor upset man here missing his wee best friend, a black doggie. Have any of you good people seen him? What's the little missing doggie's name."
"Euclid, " said Rex Steiner adding, "And I know where he is..."
"So there you have it, good people and solid citizens of Seattle! Another happy ending accomplished by your police department! And shortly dog and man will be reunited and the details published in the SPD's favorite newspaper, The Seattle Times, in the local section, but on page B 1 with a color picture."
The large Irish cop put a friendly arm lock on the small professor and guided him to the side. The crowd came apart as first the bicycle riders pedal off down the sidewalks they clearly own to the curses of the joggers, who know damn good and well they own the sidewalks of Seattle.
"Now tone it down, laddie (The Irish cop is about 30 and the professor pushing 50, but the policeman talks to him like he would a teenager) - The poor doggie is likely dead already and in the cooking pot." At that moment a loud animal-like scream heard for blocks is heard. "May the wee little black beast be at rest. " The cop crosses himself....
"I want those dog murdering dognappers arrested immediately!," said the red faced Rex while shaking with fury.
"There is nothing me and my coppers would like better to do, but there is The Black Death to worry about! I have seven young children at home, most of them red heads fathered by me, and me old lady with a bun in the oven! Yes, me and boys would love bust some commie OWS heads this morning and make some arrests, but our hands are tied by the commie mayor and Homeland Security and _"
"Are you telling me Homeland Security knows about The Black Death and dog murders in Seattle and is doing nothing,?" asks Rex with a flood of tears running down his face.
"Yes, they do - the FBI, the Secret Service and the rest of them in Homeland Security have known since the first deaths back in October," responded O'Hara with a troubled look on his face, "But orders straight from O'Bama our Black Irish president is to keep this on the q.t. because the OWS is key to his reelection in 2012. So you can see if The Black Death were to break out at an OWS camp, it would be a PR disaster to O'Bama. As is well known, your Irish cop and politician are the best money can buy and..."
"THE LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ARE DOING NOTHING WHILE THOUSANDS ARE BEING INFECTED WITH BUBONIC PLAGUE BECAUSE OBAMA WANTS TO BE REELECTED IN 2012!!!, shouts Rex at the top of his voice who is quickly surrounded by several policeman who throw him into a nearby waiting paddy wagon accompanied by O'Hara, a medic and very physically fit young man in neat sports clothes. The medic plunges a hypo into a vein in the neck and Rex ceases his struggles. The young man takes command and quickly flashes a badge, "Agent McKenna of the U.S. Secret Service and Homeland Security."
The medic checks Rex's pulse and heart beat and gives a worried look to McKenna who continues,
"No doubt you have grave concerns about the current situation and well you should, because you are under arrest for violation of U.S.C. 871, threat against the president, which carries a mandatory five years in federal prison, three years probation and a $250,000 fine. In minutes you will be standing before a federal judge and receive the formal indictment. Do you have anything to say? Of course, you have the right to remain silent, but you won't with the drug we just gave you. Yes, you will confess everything I tell you to confess. And if for some reason you don't confess, I'll tell the judge you planned to assassinate the president using a black attack dog to rip out his throat."
But Rex is feeling the best he's felt since someone dumped a drug into his drink at the Five Corner Bar near the Space Needle back in '95..."This must be the same AWESOME stuff," he thinks and smiles to his three kidnappers feeling nothing but platonic love for them. Finally, he sees The Truth About Life And The Great Equation as St Peter and Heaven's Gates appear in a white light and Rex follows him into The Ultimate Destination For The Good.
"He's dead, " says the medic, "looks like we lost another one!"
"And the pity of it is that the poor man just wanted his dog back! Well I'm sure the two of them are together for all eternity. Me old granny from the Old Country said, the Lord allowed good dogs into heaven and I'm sure a gentle Lab would to his liking," said O'Hara, just after telling the driver over the radio to turn the paddy wagon around and head for the morgue instead of the federal courthouse.
"What a beautiful thing to say, you Mick bastard," said the medic who added while pulling a flask out of his coat continued, "Here have a drink of good Scot whiskey on O'Tootle. the police medic, and let's have an Irish wake for this poor dead man who was named..."
"Rex Steiner," said McKenna while going through his wallet and taking the cash while giving the VISA and AMERICAN EXPRESS cards one each to O'Hara and O'Tootle while saying, "Rex has no need of them anymore, but us hard working cops need a small bonus."
O'Hara accepted the drink of whiskey, took a large gulp from the flask, which he passed to McKenna and stated, "You must be Irish."
"Like our president I'm a half breed, half Irish on my mother's side who was an O'Reilly. This is the reason I took the money and not the credit cards - a half Irish cop is only half as corrupt as full blood Irish policemen like you two. Anyhow, the U.S. Secret Service has better pay, perks and credit union. Why clear I above $100,000 a year, and this before the bribes. We SS are not greedy bastards cheating our hard working brothers in blue."
"This here Secret Service sounds like a good deal! Do you have room for a Mick SPD guy. I could use the pay bump what with all my family responsibility?" asked O'Hara after taking another belt from the flash passing it O'Tootle, who finished it off in a last big gulp.
"Not a chance," responded McKenna as the paddy wagon halted by the morgue and the men waited patiently for the attendants to open the doors and remove the body. McKenna continued, "The SS only hires cops who look like handsome movie stars, like himself, I'm told I look like a young Martin Sheen."
The doors open and a man grab O'Hara who growls at him, "It's this here stiff sitting next to me." The lead morgue attendant shoots back in an irritated voice, "Really? Well excuse me! The man has a big smile on his face like he just won the Washington State lottery and was thinking about a cruise to Hawaii, and you have a big red nose with the smell of cheap whiskey about you. It wouldn't be the first time I unloaded a dead drunk cop in full riot gear here."
"Funny guy," says O'Hara, "You need to be on stage as a stand up comic."
The three policemen form an honor guard for the dead Rex and salute his corpse as the attendants roll the cart into the Seattle morgue. In a sober mood the threesome climb into the paddy wagon. The first to speak is O'Hara who says into his radio mike, "Driver take us to the Five Corners Bar & Grill. Where? You know that rotten dive that rips off tourists near the Space Needle that's open 24/7, we all need a strong drink."
"I hope old Rex didn't take our murder of him personal." said McKenna breaking the silence of several minutes, "After all, we were only following orders from the very top of our chain-of-command! If the public knew that Black Death had broken out in Seattle, the panic in the streets would be awesome to behold, worse than 1968, I'll wager. No, President Obama made the right call: let the U.S. Department of Homeland Security quietly deal with the situation."
"I have no problem with that, Agent McKenna, but don't you think killing an innocent dog lover is a bit too much?" said a red eyed O'Tootle who added, "My conscience is acting up gang busters on this one!" while more whiskey scented tears ran down his face.
McKenna responded to the sad police medic, "It's like a military operation when a bomb drops short and kills an innocent man. What do they call it? Collateral damage? Things just went terribly wrong this morning! No one's fault, really. Shit happens. It's not that we are psychopaths. We are normal people who feel really bad about killing a good math teacher at a fine Catholic college, which reminds me to call the Bishop and to tell him he needs to get a substitute for the Doctor Steiner's morning classes. He would have wanted me to do that for him."
"No one responsible?" interjects an angry O'Hara, "What about that ugly commie bitch who stole Rex's dog? I say she gets the next early morning ride to the morgue, along with that hideous boyfriend of hers."
McKenna said in reply after handing a tissue to O'Tootle to dry his tears"But O'Hara, don't you think even drugged, diseased and filthy commies have a right to a meal of prime dog meat? Have you ever been hungry? The Service sent me once to Ranger training in the U.S. Army to spy on this sergeant we thought was going to assassinate Obama. I had to do everything they did since I was posing as trainee soldier including being dumped butt naked in the middle of the Rocky Mountains with a only knife to survive. You best believe I killed and ate any creature I came across for the next several weeks until the helicopter came back to pick me up....So there you are, cold and starving in Seattle walking down the street in the early morning and you see a well fed dog obviously abandoned by the owner. What do you do? I'll let you what, when you're starving to death like I was in Colorado, you dream of a fat dog to kill and cook."
The paddy wagon stopped and the trio of cops walked into the nearly empty bar to the backroom where the cops did their drinking alone. The very attractive waitress with long black hair, Mayan tattoos and low cut black dress took their orders for bottles of whiskey and peanuts. This was delivered quickly, thanks to the slow morning business. The door was then shut and locked on the inside by O'Hara, who did not want the public to see him drinking in uniform.
When the glasses were charged, O'Hara gave a toast, "Up the Republic!" The men downed the drinks in about a microsecond. O'Hara broke the silence with a question to McKenna,"So you're saying Rex Steiner killed himself?"
"Yes, the victim of terrible comedy of errors! It would appear his dog was stolen by an honest Communist, a woman who President Obama would be proud to call friend, too law abiding to steal food, or eat food meant for the homeless at the Salvation Army Mission. What followed was a Shakespearean tragedy."
Infamous video gone viral showing Idema waterboarding suspected Al Qaeda members in an effort to find Bin Laden at his private prison in Afghanistan.
Recently on the Leftist blog Invictus with strong ties to the neo-Communist DAILY KOS, the charge is made that Jack Idema was employed by the U.S. Government as its "Torturer In Chief" in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2004.
--------------------------------------
Invictus:
The following video was posted at both LiveLeak.com and You Tube, and provides "a glimpse of what went on during interrogations of [Afghan] insurgents by Jonathan Idema," who worked in conjunction with NATO forces in Afghanistan "counterterror" operations.
Idema is a controversial figure. He was arrested by Afghan authorities in July 2004 in Kabul, where according to a New York Times report, he had been holding eight men prisoner. Some of these men "said they were kicked and beaten, had scalding water poured on them, and had their heads repeatedly dunked in a bucket of water." Idema was pardoned by Afghan President Karzai in March 2007. He had claimed all along that he was working at the behest of U.S. authorities. The U.S. denied this, though admittedly he did work with international forces on counterterrorism operations.
In a well-documented examination of his career at Wikipedia, Idema's connections with U.S. Special Forces is dissected. Idema's various disgraces and problems with the military never kept him from working at various times with U.S. Special Forces, and interestingly, he has been connected to private contracting firms associated with the "war on terror," including Star America Aviation Company, Ltd. (SAAC).
One of the latter company's executives is retired Major General Jack Holbein, a former leading commander at U.S. Special Forces Command. SAAC is linked to a shell company, Isabeau Dakota, Inc., that listed Idema's father as president and sole officer, in that both are registered as corporations by the same individual, William L. London, who appears to be an attorney in Sanford, North Carolina. There is some evidence, given the connections noted in his Wikipedia entry, that Idema served as an off-the-record asset or operative of U.S. Special Forces.
Major General Holbein was listed in the 2008 Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) report on detainee abuse (large PDF) as one of the recipients of the Defense Department's interrogation-torture proposal developed by James Mitchell and John "Bruce" Jessen at Joint Personnel Services Agency (JPRA). Holbein was then Chief of Staff at U.S. Joint Forces Command (JFCOM), and JPRA was under command authority of JFCOM at that time. The implication of the SASC report is that Holbein and others helped send the torture proposal up the chain of command.
JFCOM was disbanded last August, "the first time a Defense Department combatant command has been dissolved" one news account explained. According to the article, by Hugh Lessig at The Daily Press:
The military is keeping the core mission of JFCOM: training the military to operate and fight together. But instead of maintaining a separate four-star command and all the overhead it entails, personnel will report directly to the Joint Staff.
The former JFCOM functions remaining in Hampton Roads include those related to joint training, developing new concepts and doctrine, experimentation and what the military calls "lessons learned."
-------------------------------------------
There are problems with this latest Leftist theory:
(1) The U.S. Army in Afghanistan knew early on that Idema was an ex-con, bounty hunter, psychopath and a man consumed by greed for the $25 million reward for Osama bin Laden's capture.
(2) In fact, it was the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, with the knowledge and approval of the American authorities in that war torn country, who "washed their hands" and paved the way for his arrest, trial and imprisonment by the government of Afghanistan for running a private prison and torture chamber.
(3) Shortly after Idema was imprisoned he converted to Islam and turned traitor against America. The immediate result was to be moved to "luxury condo" in the prison with Internet/ satellite communication where for a price he provided his torture videos to Islamists, including the one above.
(4) As has been published on this blog, Idema created Isabeau Dakota, Inc. with Penny Alesi as president, as a front organization to do business legally in the United States, while keeping his corporate officers in the dark about what was really going on, especially in regards to the "Idema Building" in North Carolina.
(5) The connection between Isabeau Dakota, Inc. to Star Aviation, retired Major General Jack Holbein and Idema will be the subject of a future article on this blog. However, the bottom line to all Idema's relationships - business or personal - was to put dollars in his own private bank account by means of deception, lies and disinformation.
Clearly, with the publication of his article, which is racing around the Leftist Blogsphere at the speed of light that will no doubt be picked up by the Big Left Media propaganda organizations like The New York Times, an attempt is being to establish that a relationship under contract existed between Idema and the USA government to imprison and torture Afghans in order to discover the location of Osama bin Laden during 2001 to 2004.
The overwhelming evidence produced on this blog and elsewhere is that no such contract ever existed between Idema and the American government. This particular truth the Left ignores, because it doesn't fit their agenda against waterboarding and other forms of intense interrogation, is the obvious one that the U.S. Army feared Idema as a loose cannon who caused endless headaches with their covert operations and alliance with the people and government of Afghanistan to rid the country of Islamists.
A person wouldn't know these are bad economic times by walking the The Strip in Las Vegas lined with one gambling palace after another. My favorite will always be "Caesar's Palace" with its Roman Empire theme and its statue of Julius Caesar with the right arm pointing at the main entrance. This is very good advice for those walking into arguably the most famous gambling palace in the world -- "Take a look pilgrim at this wealth on display and leave. This display came from the hard earned money from losers like you." Perhaps the owners of Caesar's should add a line by Dante to the pedestal of Caesar's statue, "Abandon all hope ye who enter here."
I doubt such a warning would have any effect on business here at Caesar's or any other gambling joint on The Strip; the crowd almost pushes you inside as you approach the entrance. Don't these people understand the odds are so much against them? I think they know. I also think they don't care. I think at some level they see their trip to Las Vegas as a metaphor for life -- life is after all a gamble. If one successfully is born and escapes death by the high rate of abortion that in some areas of this country rivals the birth rate, then one has won big time at the lottery of life's first big wager.
Death who taking a holiday with me here in Las Vegas and walking at my side dressed in loud clothes and looking like a used car salesman from Phoenix says,
"Whether they win or lose, all these thousands of people you see today will be my clients. I daresay most won't be the 50 years of hard sales like you. I don't even have to say a word to them. I simply show my face and they follow me to the dark shore without resistance. I even sense happiness and bliss from the majority of my clients! I think they are pleased: They want to rest."
I walk over to a bar in the middle of sea of gaming tables and slot machines. I set down and order a Coors, and Death sets down beside me and orders a Martini telling the very attractive and very blond young female bartender, "shaken not stirred like the ones James Bond orders." The bartender "Sally" by name tag takes our orders and you can almost hear her thinking, "A couple of born losers here -- an old man too cheap to buy mixed drinks and a creepy washed out salesman trying to be cool."
I turn to Death and say, "I talked to the Secret Service (SS) this morning."
Death, who is looking very pleased being in the middle of thousands of soon-to-be clients replies,
"I know all about your conversation. I was there in the motel room when you called the agent in Orlando, Florida. I don't think it was a good idea. They like you not. This is especially true when you pop up out of nowhere. These guys are like the old Stasi in East Germany -- They come to see you at the worst possible moment, you don't surprise them. This is not how the secret police game is played and you ruined their sport for the day."
Sally the bartender returns with our drinks and I ask, "I'm wondering if I could start a tab?"
She smiles with visions of a good tip dancing in her pretty blue eyes, "No problem honey if you give me your credit card in advance and a minimum order of $20."
I hand her my American Express card and she departs to open the tab. I take a sip of my Coors brewski and Death knocks back the entire Martini in one fell swoop.
"It must be great to be Death and not have to worry about things like hangovers, liver cancer and heart attacks from excess drinking."
Death smiles at me with pearl white teeth and states, "My job does have its upside. When I'm posing as a mortal I can actually taste the drink and feel the effect to some degree. I can't get drunk. Death must always be cool and rational."
I change the subject, "But back to my conversation this morning with Agent Smith of the Orlando SS -- He seemed quite friendly and even said he knew me by reputation. I felt somehow flattered; I mean out many people can ring up the SS and be told they are known by the stranger answering the phone 3,000 miles away? I told him I'd heard they were asking everyone I knew in Melbourne, Florida where I'd got off to and these people were calling me on my cellphone asking me what the heck was happening, and since I didn't know the deal , I'd thought I'd go right to the source and ask the horse -- am I to be arrested? Agent Smith replied there were no warrants outstanding; they just wanted to talk to me to see how I was doing."
Death looked past me to watch a man in an electric wheel chair move in front of a slot machine and appeared very pleased; no doubt another client in the making,
"Agent Smith speaks from a script. He was the Duty Officer that day in Orlando. He has nothing against you personally but it's war and you are the enemy. I wouldn't believe anything he said. Did you know you're the only Class III type at liberty in the country? The others are all locked up or dead. At the higher levels of management it is personal as well as professional. If it were up to these SS officers, you'd be dead along time ago. They feel you're a threat to national security just by your continued existence. However, they are bound by federal law and dream of the day when they are the law. This day may be soon coming."
I kick back another large sampling of Coors and ask, "I should have talked to you before about the SS." (By the way, the Secret Service hate to be called the SS: I understand it reminds them of the German SS. I would note the other federal security agencies are called by their initials: the Federal Bureau of Investigation is the FBI, the National Security Agency is NSA, and the Central Intelligence Agency is the CIA) Death shows me his empty Martini glass,
"It'll cost you," he states.
I motion Sally and point to Death's empty glass. She starts to mix another drink for him. Business is slow at the bar at 7 P.M. , the public is busy gaming and losing fortunes to Caesar. "What would you like to know?" asks Death with his white smile.
I take a big sip of Coors and ask, "Will they ever stop dogging my heels?"
Death looks at the approaching Sally with the Martini in hand,
"You know the answer: never as long as you live. You're too important; too many reports written about you; too many careers on the line. Also, for some important SS officers it has become personal -- You do recall Agent McKenna? He's a senior SS agents now. At one time he was case officer and you insulted him by saying he committed perjury when he gave testimony at your trial."
Sally places the drink in front of Death and says, "Honey I don't what your problem is but you give me the creeps. I think you're had enough."
Death takes a drink and replies, "Men giving you the creeps never stopped you from serving them before." Sally steps back from Death and becomes upset,
"What do you mean?" she asks in a nervous voice.
Death smiles at her, "You know exactly what I mean."
I jump into to the confrontation and try peace making,
"Don't let my friend bother you, Sally: It's just his way. He can tell jokes as good as Jerry Seinfeld when he's in a different mood.
Sally calms down a bit and says, "You're okay, but your friend is weird. One more Coors for you and both of you cowboys are out of here. If you two try to stay I'll call security. Do I make myself clear? If not security will explain the situation. I can '68 anyone at anytime and you're out the door."
Sally walks to the end of the bar and motions over a security host, a large black man who looks very mean and he stares at us with concern. Death smiles and waves the Martini. This is a declaration of war. The security man takes up position a few feet away arms crossed and eyes daggers, I look at Death and say ,
"You have a very negative effect on people."
Death kicks back the Martini in one gulp, "They can sense me. It's not a wonderful feeling, especially if you are young and healthy like our pretty young blond bartender. The gut feeling is to get me back to the shadows, or at least out of Caesar's -- I'm bad for business."
I take a healthy mouthful of Coors knowing that our time at Caesar's is limited and pick up where I left off,
"Agent McKenna did commit perjury!"
Death smiles his pearl white smile, "Of course he did, but only under orders and for the greater good of the nation. He didn't expect to be called on it. So what else would like to know about the SS? They have you screwed, blued and tattooed, so you may as well give it up and take the sleeping pills. If you wash the pills down with Coors and put a plastic bag over your head you'll be at the dark shore in no time. Many of my clients do this in Vegas, especially after losing at the tables."
Bartender Sally and Mr. Black the security guard approach our seats. Sally hands me back my credit card, "The drinks are on the house. I think you're good people, cowboy, but your creepy side kick reminds me of death warmed over. The deal is you can come back after you lose the grave digger and sober up, but El Creepo is banned from Caesar's property forever."
Death smiles with white teeth flashing, "I don't think you can do that, but I'm on holiday so I'll leave with my good friend Ron."
Mr. Black speaks, "Okay you two birds, let's all march to the door. Ron say goodbye to the lady,
"Departing is such great sorry. But I'll be clean and sober tomorrow," I say.
Sally laughs and feels her sunny self again, "A poet and you know it, Honey! As we say out West hasta la bye, bye!"
We three dog soldiers literally march to the entrance of Caesar's and for a moment the gamblers stop in the process of losing to watch the weird threesome: A large black man dressed head to toe in black with SECURITY painted in white letters on the back of his shirt closely following two white men; the loudly dressed one on the left sensed as very bad news who as the trio passes the statute of Julius Caesar on the way out the door gives a stiff armed Roman salute and yells in loud voice that echoes all over the Casino,
"Hail Caesar! We Who Are About To Die Salute You!"
I look back as we pass the doors -- for a moment the crowd has been frightened to the core of their beings and each of the hundreds of hearts at the gaming tables and slot machines have felt the icy grip of death for a moment-- but they soon recovery and continue their personal gladiator game with death at Caesar's Once And Forever Palace.
"The war has started already, it is an undeclared civil war in all the Anglosphere countries between the Freedom Fighters of the Right and the International Socialists of the Left, and only choice is the path that leads to victory or death." --Ronbo
The quick-deed of the “Idema Building” on 450 Robeson Street, Fayetteville, North Carolina that Penny Alesi gave to William Hagler was the beginning of a side show that continues to this day.
Ms. Alesi never wanted this controversy that has landed in a North Carolina court and has attracted much local media attention and some national coverage. In early August, 2010 when Ms. Alesi escaped Idema white slavery in Mexico to the USA (She filed charges in Mexico against him on July 30, 2010 – the document is here), she made a good faith offer to settle out of court if Idema (1) Shipped to her all her personal belongings (2) Returned her “Mexican” cat she had named “Tinka.” (3) Repay the balance on the American Express card that Idema had gained by fraud in her name. Idema did nothing to settle his legal obligations to his former wife, which were extremely modest when compared to the trials that she went though in Mexico at the hands of man many would describe as a latter day Marquis De Sade, who took delight in the torture and sexual degradation as his prisoner at an isolated resort in Mexico. Ms. Alesi also gives part of blame for the North Carolina legal proceedings to Idema's legal team in that she believes are blinded by greed and corrupt to the core.
Ms. Alesi thinks Idema and some of his associates were well aware that she suffered from the most lethal form of AIDS and hoped she would die, or be too sick to continue resistance. If this line of attack failed, Ms. Alesi believes the plan was to silence her by means of harassment and death threats.
The attack has obviously failed as well and Ms. Alesi very much still in the struggle.
Affidavits filed on November 3, 2010 from Lynn E. Thomas and John Edwards Tiffany regarding the lawsuit over the “Idema Building” and William Hagler are excellent fiction that slanders Ms. Alesi. Tiffany has been Idema's lawyer since his adventures in Afghanistan starting in 2001/02, and has ties to another Idema important issue - the controversial death of Rita Gray. (The death of Ms. Gray and the Idema/Tiffany connection to it will be covered in a future article). The other member of the “Idema Legal Team” are Tiffany's cousin and fellow lawyer, Vallerie Magory, who also teamed up with William London regarding the H.J Idema Trust.
What Thomas and Tiffany wrote in the affidavits concerning Ms. Alesi are good entertainment, but completely false. Tiffany knew her as the wife of Jack Idema when they first met at Idema's father funeral. He also saw her while in Mexico at the STAR meetings. Tiffany was also aware that Ms. Alesi's name was being used for many purposes by Legal Team Idema and never mentioned the fact to her – this was the case with William London as well – who was first to congratulate Ms. Alesi on her marriage to Idema.
It would appear that Tiffany had an easy job as Idema's attorney, as Idema (a real jailhouse lawyer, for sure!) would write up the legal issue at question and send the document to Tiffany, who would copy, sign and submit the finished product to the court. One hears much about “ghost writers” who create books for famous people like Obama, but this is first time this investigative reporter has heard of a “ghost lawyer” - in this case Idema - who uses a real lawyer's letterhead, signature and license to practice law. Ms. Alesi has documentation as well (to be produced at a later date) of this unusual manner of law practice. This legal project of Idema's was financed by the Ms. Alesi's corporate American Express card obtained by fraud by Idema, where these legal documents sent to Kinko to be reproduced and charges billed. Ms. Alesi has copies of these documents where all that need be added for submission to the court are Tiffany's signature.
The Thomas Affidavit is quite interesting as well. Ms. Alesi has described Thomas as a “professional victim” who can tell lies and pump out a sea of salty tears on command concerning her alleged abuse by Ms. Alesi! One of the oldest tactics used by criminals and communists is to accuse the accuser. In this dirty little game that is based on psychological projection is to charge the victim with being aggressor. The father of the Russian Revolution, Lenin, once famously told his stooges the best way to attack the opposition, “accuse them of what you are.” If this is true, Thomas is quite the villain, as she has committed a serious hate crime by exposing Ms. Alesi's HIV status to the world on the Internet. Thomas attempts to advertise her herself as an American patriot and Christian, but many think she has would have made an excellent Bolshevik in the party of Lenin.
"Well lets see here ... Now here is proof of a conspiracy. Lynn Thomas has admitted here that she has been in contact with Jackbo's lawyers. That through Jackbo's lawyers she posted a partial deposition that was under a Court Order of Protection. That she is and has been involved as a accessory to perpetrate a fraud. Nice Christian Woman ....................................................... Got to love this Psychotic and Homicidal Lynn Thomas! She has been receiving threats .............................................................. LOL! Sick girl Lynn you really need help!"
"So Thomas attacks forgetting all about the FACT that Jackbo has had many opportunities to prove his case in court and every time he sued one of the people Thomas continues to wrongly defame he has not just lost in court but ended up being sanctioned and owing the defendants money. Of course Thomas reports on all that? Well of course not! Every time Jackbo has gotten his ass handed to him Thomas rails against the truth and attacks or threatens the person who was wronged. Just like the threat of calling the FBI. LOL! Calling the FBI! LOL! Lynn Thomas is going to call the FBI! Ok, here is the jist of the conversation between Thomas and the FBI."
"Thomas just plainly for what ever demented reason refuses to acknowledge the truth and this includes emails and statements from Jackbo's old Commanding Officer and Green Beret Billy Waugh. But note that Thomas only attacks a selected group of people. You have to ask why? Why not bring to light that Jackbo's old Commanding Officer wrote personally to Thomas and Thomas even refused to answer or post his email. Also note that Thomas has not even mentioned the fact that Billy Waugh slammed the door on Jackbo's private prison. She forgets that 98% of Jackbo's claims have been exposed as BULLSHIT! His military record, how and why he entered Afghanistan, and even the FRAUD Jackbo committed playing US Military covert terrorist hunter killer. But none of this sinks into Thomas lying brain. Yes she is a very sick and demented woman."
This is more proof of what Jack Idema, Lynn Thomas and the rest of his gang will do to destroy the lives of their opponents.
OWS “Kent State moment”? More like “Dorothea Lange moment”
The original Kent State moment
Conservatives misunderstand liberals’ oft-repeated wish that the Occupy Wall Street movement “needs a Kent State moment.” Why would these left-leaning pundits and activists hope for fatalities amongst the protesters?
But that’s not what they’re hoping for. When a normal person hears the words “Kent State,” the immediate association is that fateful day in 1970 when four student protesters were killed by National Guardsmen. But when a leftist hears the words “Kent State,” the immediate association is that fateful day when the media published an iconic photograph of an anti-war martyr that was the final tipping point that convinced the majority of Americans to oppose the war.
So when modern liberal pundits wish for an OWS “Kent State moment,” they’re not wishing for fatalities, but rather for the appearance of that one photograph which will reverberate around the world and forever establish the Occupiers as oppressed victims. It is the photograph, not the shootings, that is the “Kent State moment.”
The original Dorothea Lange moment
So far, they haven’t got it — not for want of trying. For the last several days The San Francisco Chronicle has helpfully featured a slide show of nominees on its Web site to hopefully stir up interest in one or another iconic martyr image, but so far, no Occupy photos have quite caught on, Kent State-style.
However, a new photo has emerged which isn’t OWS’ Kent State moment, but rather itsDorothea Lange moment. Dorothea Lange, as you may remember, was the 1930s photographer whose stark portraits of suffering Americans summarized and epitomized the Depression. One of her photos, shown here, became so famous that it’s now the first picture that comes to mind when people think “The Great Depression.”
This new photo of two young Occupiers taken by photojournalist El Marco in New York’s Zuccotti Park shortly before it was dismantled I think could become the iconic image of Occupy Wall Street – not a newsworthy photo of violence and martyrdom, but rather a thoughtful intimate portrait of two prototypical OWS lovebirds. It doesn’t just capture a moment — it captures an era:
[Click on image to see it full-size, suitable for framing.]
I like to call the picture “Zuccotti Love.”
Photo credit: El Marco. It is published here for the first time, but it will also soon appear in a report on his Web site.
Watching the “Occupy Wall Street” mutants (as I less-than-affectionately call them) riot on Thursday as part of their “Day of Action,” I couldn’t help but notice a striking resemblance to children throwing temper tantrums. And I couldn’t help but think: Why would adults act this way?
The “occupiers” are the post-digested remains of the natural journey through the intestinal tract of the metastasizing liberal ideology in education and pop culture.
The “millennials,” as they’re called, are the first generation spawned from the “progressive” idea of equal outcome disguised as equal opportunity. They are the “Participation Ribbon People” – a generation rewarded and praised simply for showing up. The result of social promotion, time-outs over spanking and the misguided concept that reward is deserved and not earned.
The movies, books and music these kids devoured portrayed business as evil and CEOs as thieves in suits whose wealth comes not from hard work but by exploiting the poor or selling dangerous and defective products to an unsuspecting population.
This generation grew up with “reality TV,” which is not, of course, realistic at all. It measures success as drinking more beers before you vomit than the next guy. A sex tape brings not embarrassment but celebrity status.
It might have seemed as if these children of entitlement treated rioting as an audition for the Jersey Shore, but they weren’t – although MTV was at Zuccotti Park recruiting candidates for “The Real World.”
The only thing more prevalent among the “occupiers” than body lice is their sense of entitlement. They’re entitled to forgiveness of the college loans they willingly took out. They can trespass on private property and stay as long as they like. They claim to represent the “99 percent” of the country not among the wealthiest 1 percent. But do they?
Their world is one in which an unrepentant domestic terrorist is called “Professor” and is friends with the President of the United States, dodgeball is banned for “brutality” and kids picking on each other is criminalized. Self-esteem is their goal. They don’t intend to earn it through hard work and accomplishment. No, they want it given out like scoops of ice cream at a birthday party. The way it’s always been.
Nothing undermines civil society more than the belief that every thought is correct, that every desire should be fulfilled. It doesn’t work that way, of course. And when people discover their every whim won’t be met, they find scapegoats.
Zuccotti Park has been filled with people who’ve been coddled their whole lives, who’ve never been told they’re wrong, who’ve been raised to pursue feeling over logic. They’re being confronted with an uncertain future, and its doubly scary for them because they never have been allowed to face the consequences of failure.
They’ve been encased in an emotional bubble-wrap that protected them from reality until graduation. They’ve never truly faced failure. They got a ribbon or trophy every time. Now, suddenly, someone won’t hire them or promote them or give them a good apartment at a low price. What’s worse, someone else did get that job, that promotion. That someone must have cheated.
Thankfully, few in the Ribbon Generation have been successfully indoctrinated, which is why the protests have been so small. But the indoctrination continues, every day. Every day, more children are led to believe fulfillment of their constitutional rights means it’s OK to deny others of theirs.
The current attempt by progressives to impose their will on America is doomed to failure. It’s stupid to think you can bring people to your cause by obstructing their movements or annoying them in the public square. But progressives are patient and determined. The know one day the Participation Ribbon Generation will have children of their own. And those children won’t find counter-indoctrination examples at home many children have now.
President Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
If there is any good to come from the “Occupy” movement it’s that it can serve as a reminder of how special and important liberty is. After all, if a tiny group of committed Utopian socialists can’t create a tiny socialist Utopia when it’s just them in a park, where is this notion likely to succeed?
The Socialists lost a third of their seats as voters dumped a government that presided over a dramatic economic slump which has left 23% of Spaniards out of work.
With the PP winning 186 of the 350 seats in parliament, 56-year-old Rajoy was given a free hand to carry out sweeping reforms and impose further austerity in an attempt to turn the country around.
"It is no secret to anyone that we are going to rule in the most delicate circumstances Spain has faced in 30 years," he said. He pleaded for time. "There will be no miracles," he said. "We haven't promised any." With yields on Spanish sovereign debt reaching new highs at the end of last week, markets are unlikely to give him much breathing space. He will come under immediate pressure to reveal exactly how he intends to kickstart growth, which is currently at zero, and cut spending. The burst housing bubble has left banks dangerously exposed to loans to real estate developers and construction companies.
Unlike neighbouring Italy or Greece, which handed the reins of government to unelected technocrats in recent weeks, Spaniards have been able to choose the government they want to deal with one of the worst economic crises in living memory. They can expect an immediate dose of added austerity
BTW, the part about “give us our orders” is pretty jarring. He could be talking about members of Congress, but he could also be talking about himself and his fellow MSNBC anchors. It’s not clear. You can imagine if Sean Hannity had said this about Bush. Media Matters would crank into super-hyper-crazy-overdrive over that one quote. I’m just going to say it’s noteworthy.
The Leftist revolutionary forces and the revolutionary terrorist barbarians of radical Islam are allies in an unholy cabal with the same goal in mind: The complete destruction of Western Civilization. They are opposed by only a few brave Freedom Fighters who understand that appeasement, compromise and living side by side by with these forces of tyranny is impossible and who realize that the best means to stop revolution is counter-revolution.
As is well known in my circle of friends, since 2005 with creation of The Freedom Fighter's Journal, I've collected the names and locations of a large number of trustworthy people all over the USA, Europe and the world, who, whether they want to admit it at the present time, are a revolutionary cadre: A small radical minority of rugged individualists and heroes who have been "Mugged By Reality" in a dozen different nations and understand that the various governments of the West cannot be reformed -- They must be destroyed or they will murder our lives and liberties in time.
My main focus is revolution in the USA first -- a Blue Revolution -- like the original American Revolution to restore liberty and put into place lasting checks on a return by socialists and Islamists to power. I think if America, the world's most powerful country, does a 180 degree turn in its politics, philosophy and culture: The rest of the world will follow our lead beginning with the Anglosphere countries: Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
I think that if we don't elect the severe choice of revolutions and civil wars in our various countries and destroy socialism and Islamism, the world will be plunged into A New Dark Age of tyranny and the level of our Civilization reversed back to that of the non-industrial European Middle Ages.
History has taught us that Revolutions are as necessary from time to time in a country as forest fires are from time to time in order to destroy the dead wood that threatens the existence of a nation. On April 19, 1775, the American Patriots stood against the army of most powerful imperial force in the world, the British Empire, not because they hated the glorious historical example of Britain to the cause freedom and its generous gift of liberty that even in the 18th century had produced "13 Little Britains" (The 13 original colonies and later states)-- rather because they embraced these imported British ideals of liberty as being the products of the wisdom of human history that began with the Glory That Was Greece and The Grandeur That Was Rome. The American Patriot's rebellion was a Revolt against a government and ruling class that had become oppressive and the enemy of its own true constitution.
The time has come, Freedom Fighters of the World, in particular Americans, to admit that the time of open rebellion against The State has arrived. It is in vain to think of reform of our various governments, they must be destroyed. It is in vain to think of reformation, this will be only used by the opposition to further limit freedom. It is in vain to look for a great leader like Lincoln or Churchill to lead us away from the abyss of revolution and civil war. The war has started already, it is an undeclared civil war in all our Anglosphere countries between the Freedom Fighters of the Right and the International Socialists of the Left, and our choice in this war is victory or death.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
--Patrick Henry March 23, 1775

Van Jones offered a prediction Wednesday for those who have been watching the Occupy Wall Street movement: “You haven’t seen anything yet.”
The former Obama administration “green jobs czar” — an ardent supporter of the Occupy movement since its inception — said in an interview with CNN that the movement is ready to evolve into the areas of politics and policy-making, much like the Tea Party did in 2010.
“You’re going to see an evolution now as you go from protests, keep the protests, but now expand into politics,” Jones said. “And if you thought there was an earthquake in 2010 when the Tea Party moved into politics, wait until this 99 percent movement moves over into politics. You haven’t seen anything yet.”
Jones said the movement is “going to be recruiting 2,000 candidates to run for office now under this 99 percent banner“ as Occupy Wall Street enters ”phase two.”
“Phase two, you move from anger to answers. You move from pointing out the problem to pointing out the solutions,” Jones said. “What you’re going to see now is you have the Occupy movement at the center, that’s the beating heart.”
"I understand there are places like MSNBC that are essentially the Obama re-election team. But, you know, that's fine. This is a free society. You can also say that Fox tends to be nicer to [Republicans] than to Obama," presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said at a campaign event in Jacksonville, Florida today. Gingrich praised the mainstream media for vetting candidates, noting, though, they only do it for Republican or conservative candidates. Gingrich says he is confident that after the media vets him that the American people will be satisfied. "In the next three weeks, I predict to you we will have all sorts of questions about me. And it's fine. You can not ask the people of the United States to loan you the most powerful governmental job in the world, particularly in a campaign that's promising very dramatic change, and not have them vet you carefully and thoroughly," Gingrich said.
OWSnews.org is being launched by journalists and organizers at New York’s Liberty Park occupation and over 20 other occupied locations throughout the US. This service is specifically dedicated to aggregating and producing news reports on the OWS 99% Movement. Our website also features many social networking capabilities which allow registered users to create their own profile, share ideas and easily communicate with many other journalists and OWS activists. You can be one of the first people to join this network by creating your own profile and contributing to the site by registering here: OWSnews.org/register.
Before jumping into our first newsletter, we would like to bring your attention to a voting feature that is present on all of our news reports. It is a Reddit-style function which allows people to vote reports up or down. Moving forward, we will use this voting process as an online General Assembly editor to determine which news reports will get featured on the homepage. Once you are registered for the site, please vote up the reports that you like.
As we are currently coordinating and developing an editorial process with over 1000 occupations throughout the US and internationally, we thought it would be appropriate to launch by honoring and featuring some of the journalists that have spent years dedicated to investigating and exposing the crimes of Wall Street. We have an amazing list of contributors and this is just a taste of what is to come.
As participants in the Occupy Wall Street movement continue protesting the record profits made by banks bailed out by taxpayer money, a group of grassroots activists are hitting America’s largest banks — including JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo — where it hurts most: The wallet.

When it comes to prosecuting the lead players involved in the fraudulent financial activities that have led to the destruction of our economy, the Obama Administration, loaded with Wall Street campaign contributions and led by major financial firm operatives such as Tim Geithner and Bill Daley, has delivered empty rhetoric and minimal action.

The Occupy Movement is not only resulting in the occupation of public space, but also in political space. We are already shifting the dialogue and the movement has just begun. When we started planning the occupation of Freedom Plaza six months ago, our goal was to create a place where the ignored voices of the American people could be heard. They are starting to be heard thanks to occupations all over the country. If it is not clear to the economic and political elites, this is the beginning of an American revolt. ... Read More >>

There is no shortage of hatred for the biggest banks. Indeed, the Occupy Wall Street movement is leading a national revolution against these Byzantine, powerful Goliaths for the economic devastation they have caused. This makes it difficult to choose the worst of the bunch. That said, a strong case can be made that Bank of America deserves the title of the nation’s most despised bank. Here are ten reasons to take your money out of Bank of America – and park it at a credit union or community bank near you. ... Read More >>
Jon Friesen, 27, tall and lanky with a long, dirty-blond ponytail, a purple scarf and an old green fleece, is sitting on concrete at the edge of Zuccotti Park leading a coordination meeting, a gathering that takes place every morning with representatives of each of Occupy Wall Street’s roughly 40 working groups. “Our conversation is about what it means to be a movement and what it means to be an organization,” he says to the circle. A heated discussion follows, including a debate over whether the movement should make specific demands. ... Read More >>
This is the opinion of one citizen who makes no claim to be speaking for the movement as a whole or any group of citizenry. It is presented as food for thought. There are really only three ways to cripple Wall Street’s democracy-killing concentration of wealth and power: take our money out of Wall Street and the TBTF banks, eliminate private money from elections and abolish Wall Street’s dealer, the Federal Reserve. There are only three things–and only these three–that will cripple Wall Street’s democracy-killing concentration of wealth and power ... Read More >>
What this movement is about is more important than specific legislative demands. It is expressing dissent to the system itself. It is not a Democratic Party organ. It is not about demanding that President Obama’s single [jobs] bill pass or anything along those lines. It is saying that we believe the system itself is radically corrupted, and we no longer are willing to tolerate it. And that’s infinitely more important than specific legislative or political demands. ... Read More >>
Among the demands of the Wall Street protesters is student debt forgiveness – a debt “jubilee.” Occupy Philly has a “Student Loan Jubilee Working Group,” and other groups are studying the issue. Commentators say debt forgiveness is impossible. Who would foot the bill? But there is one deep pocket that could pull it off – the Federal Reserve. In its first quantitative easing program (QE1), the Fed removed $1.3 trillion in toxic assets from the books of Wall Street banks. For QE4, it could remove $1 trillion in toxic debt from the backs of millions of students. ... Read More >>
Steve Keen, a well-known Australian professor and economist, spoke at Occupy Sydney saying that the protests all over the world show economic models have failed. He’s not the only one saying this obviously. But, what does that actually mean for policy makers trying to find solutions to the Eurozone debt crisis, or trying to help the ailing US housing market and economy? Steve gives his take on an interview on the new RT show Capital Account with Lauren Lyster. In his view, debt forgiveness will be a big part of the solution. ... Read More >>

One of the most frequently repeated, recycled and dismissive questions about Occupy Wall Street is its supposed lack of an “agenda.” The “what do you people want” question has been featured in media interviews almost to the exclusion of all others.

I’ve spent countless hours at Liberty Park talking with people of all political persuasions, from all walks of life, from all over this country, no, check that, from all over the world. The second you walk into the occupation, you can’t help but get knocked around like a volleyball. At every turn, there is an amazingly in depth debate on deep political, philosophical, economic and cultural issues. Media cameras are everywhere.

"Speaking through an American interpreter, Lieutenant David Wallach who is a native Arabic speaker, the Iraqi official related how al Qaeda united these gangs who then became absorbed into “al Qaeda.” They recruited boys born during the years 1991, 92 and 93 who were each given weapons, including pistols, a bicycle and a phone (with phone cards paid) and a salary of $100 per month, all courtesy of al Qaeda. These boys were used for kidnapping, torturing and murdering people.
At first, he said, they would only target Shia, but over time the new al Qaeda directed attacks against Sunni, and then anyone who thought differently. The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11 years old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man’s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, “What did he say?” Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family." -- Michael Yon
IDEA POWER
"Ideas power men. Men power cultures. Cultures power civilizations. Civilizations power history. Ideas are the fuel of man's mind. It is not a question of whether man chooses to be guided by [philosophy]: he is not equipped to live without it." (Ayn Rand) "History is philosophy teaching by example "(Lord Bolingbroke) "The trouble with nations is that there is an unequal distribution of capitalism. "(Rush Limbaugh) "Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. "(Thomas Jefferson)

T.R. On Islam
The following passages were written in 1916 in Teddy Roosevelt’s book, “Fear God and Take Your Own Part”, reproduced in “What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an” by William Federer.
Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, an on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated. Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor. …..The civilization of Europe, American and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization because of victories through the centuries from Charles Martel in the eighth century and those of John Sobieski in the seventeenth century. During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors; and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from the two continents; and today, nobody can find in them any “social values” whatever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned.There are such “social values” today in Europe, America and Australia only because during those thousand years, the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do — that is, to beat back the Moslem invader.
.....victorious with terror
"I have been made victorious with terror" Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

THE S.E.A.L. MOTTO
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required, yet guided by the very principles I serve to defend. Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.
The Freedom Fighter's Journal
This Blog is dedicated to the heroic men and women of the world past and present who have stood up for liberty often at the cost of their lives; lives often spent in dubious battle against the forces of tyranny; lives that often end at the end of the tyrant's rope and the anonymous grave; but whose last thoughts often echo the words of Nathan Hale, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
Brilliant and Psychotic
"The Freedom Fighter’s Journal. Written by Ronbo, this BLOG is scary! Vacillating between brilliant and psychotic, if you come back often enough you will find yourself wondering if this is the writing of a tortured patriotic soul or that of a demented spirit awaiting the next white room vacancy in central Florida. But what matters is that the topics make you stop and think! And after all, this is the “Thinking Bloggers Award.” -- THE GRAY DOG

Danger To The West
The biggest danger to the West is this climate of defeatism, appeasement, and cultural collapse now on display for the Islamists to see. This is the single biggest impetus to Islamist terrorism. We all have to grasp that terrorism is not the biggest threat we face. The biggest threat is the ideology that drives it. It’s not enough to fight terror, vital though that is. The principal battleground is the world of ideas, the battle for hearts and minds. The Islamists see this very clearly. They understand that psychological warfare — the fomenting of paranoia, resentment, hysteria, and demoralization — is their most effective weapon. If they can hijack the human mind to the cause of hatred and lies, they have an army; and if they can bamboozle and demoralize their victims, they will win.
