There Are No Words To Describe The Following Part II



Chances are that you are one of 8,000 people who land here every day to see this disturbing video detailing the extreme lack of oversight at the Federal Reserve. Please pay it forward and help your fellow taxpayers by emailing this story to a few friends and keeping this viral video alive and growing. Promoting much greater awareness about the Federal Reserve is the only way we're ever going to stop the heist. Sending just two emails can make a tremendous difference. Thank you!

Gross Negligence at the Fed. The drama unfolds slowly at first, so be patient and please watch it in its entirety. First-term (anti-bailout candidate) Democrat Alan Grayson questions Elizabeth Coleman, Inspector General of the Federal Reserve. The issue is oversight of the Fed's ever-expanding balance sheet, and the potential multi-trillion dollar loss that would be borne by you.


If watching the clip sends you into an apopleptic seizure as it does to me, then please send a mass email to everyone in your address book with the link inside. So far 75,000 165,000 275,000, 410,000, 525,000, now 675,000 of you have come to see this clip from emailed links. We need millions of Americans to become aware.

You can easily send this video to your representatives in Washington. Their email addresses and phone numbers can be found here.

There's no doubt we face an uphill battle, but if we are to have any realistic shot of breaking Wall Street's hold over Washington, it's going to happen through awareness. It's that simple. The more that voters learn about these abuses, the more noise we can all make. And you are making that happen with your emails. I've been amazed. Thank you!

Court Orders Probe of Afghan Attacks

UNITED NATIONS -- Investigators at the International Criminal Court have begun looking into accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan to determine whether there is cause to open a formal investigation, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the court's chief prosecutor, said on Wednesday.

The prosecutor said forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization -- which include U.S. servicemen -- could potentially become the target of an ICC prosecution, as the alleged crimes would have been committed in Afghanistan, which has joined the war-crimes court. However, every nation has the right to try its own citizens for the alleged crimes, and the ICC can step in only after determining a national court was unable or unwilling to pursue the case.

The specter of international trials of U.S. troops was central to the Bush administration's objection to joining the court, and the U.S. hasn't ratified the Rome Statute that set up the ICC in 1998. While the Obama administration has spoken more positively of the court, the president hasn't signed the treaty, which would need Senate ratification.

Mr. Ocampo said the court was also looking into the actions of the Taliban. ....

PM's secret Moscow visit was part of campaign against missile sales to Iran

By Barak Ravid

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Moscow on Monday was part of quiet diplomacy between Russia and Israel over Russia's plan to supply S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, Haaretz has learned.

A senior government source in Jerusalem confirmed yesterday that Netanyahu was in Russia for talks on security issues, particularly the sale of Russian weapons to Iran.
The missiles could help Iran protect its nuclear facilities from attack. ....

U.S. Says Iran Could Expedite Nuclear Bomb

by William J. Broad, Mark Mazzetti and David E. Sanger and written by Mr. Sanger.

WASHINGTON — American intelligence agencies have concluded in recent months that Iran has created enough nuclear fuel to make a rapid, if risky, sprint for a nuclear weapon. But new intelligence reports delivered to the White House say that the country has deliberately stopped short of the critical last steps to make a bomb.

In the first public acknowledgment of the intelligence findings, the American ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency declared on Wednesday that Iran now had what he called a “possible breakout capacity” if it decided to enrich its stockpile of uranium, converting it to bomb-grade material.

The statement by the ambassador, Glyn Davies, was intended to put pressure on American allies to move toward far more severe sanctions against Iran this month, perhaps including a cutoff of gasoline to the country, if it failed to take up President Obama’s invitation for serious negotiations. But it could also complicate the administration’s efforts to persuade an increasingly impatient Israeli government to give diplomacy more time to work, and hold off from a military strike against Iran’s facilities..

In interviews over the past two months, intelligence and military officials, and members of the Obama administration, have said they are convinced that Iran has made significant progress on uranium enrichment, especially over the past year.

.... The intelligence updates for Mr. Obama follow the broad outlines of the conclusions delivered to President George W. Bush in 2007, as part of a 140-page National Intelligence Estimate. It was based on information gathered by American spy agencies that had pierced Iran’s military computer networks, coming up with surprising evidence that the country had halted its weapons-design effort four years earlier. ....

Administration Seeks to Keep Terror Watch-List Data Secret

The Obama administration wants to maintain the secrecy of terrorist watch-list information it routinely shares with federal, state and local agencies, a move that rights groups say would make it difficult for people who have been improperly included on such lists to challenge the government. ....

Obama's team 'socialists with communist background' Prof with ties to radical White House associates says president understands socialism


By Aaron Klein


Manning Marable
NEW YORK – Many of the people working with President Obama are Marxists or socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party, according to a socialist Columbia University professor with strong ties to Obama's radical associates, including Weathermen terrorist Bill Ayers.

"What makes Obama different is that he has also been a community organizer. He has read left literature, including my works, and he understands what socialism is," wrote Manning Marable, professor and founding director of the Institute for Research in African American Studies at Columbia University.

"A lot of the people working with him are, indeed, socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party or as independent Marxists," Marable wrote in a December 2008 piece published in the Socialist Review.

In the article, Marable contends "Obama is not a Marxist or a socialist – he is a progressive liberal." .....
