Police State Cracks Down On Gibson Guitars
America is a country in chaos. Bankers openly buy politicians who make the laws and appoint the judges who rule whether or not they are Constitutional, so you can certainly see the pecking order of importance. Without the hundreds of billions of dollars in "campaign contributions" (see bribes) these politicians will never make it to the big leagues. So today we have an example of the federal governments boot coming down on the neck of American business. Enter Gibson Guitars, a company which is 120 years old, now faces serious charges which may result in jail time for people within the company. The crime? Well they haven't been charged with anything, just raided multiple times, but the government (see corrupt bastards) say they imported illegal wood from overseas in violation of one of the millions of laws they have on the books.
Wow, thank God the government steps in to protect us.............
This would be a prime example of utter stupidity and triviality, or may even become the definition of making a mountain out of a molehill if you didn't consider the state of affairs in the rest of the corporate world. (Many of these examples are laid out in the documentary Inside Job) The US is run by the most corrupt, unscrupulous ruthless bastards in it's history and as such they are complicit in the crimes committed in the corporate world against the American people.
America is a country where people make hundreds of billions of dollars by creating a bubble, this time in real estate. Due to nothing but greed and made possible only through fraud this bubble is inflated to the point where it explodes. The bubble was so vast that it's shockwaves threatened to destroy not only the people who actively created it but other more innocent parties. So what do the corrupt bastards in the government do? Let those who perpetrated this crime fail? Face prison time? Execution? Hah. These people were given TRILLIONS of dollars FROM THE VICTIMS of the crime! It is so utterly perverse and sinister that it boggles the mind. Then these same assholes have the audacity to go after a company who actually still manufacturers things in this country and threaten them with prison time?!??!!
Corruption like this cannot go on forever, it just can't. Whether the people will rise up and demand justice, or whether it collapses under it's own filth, it will end.

What A Scumbag Jew
This is not a new story, but it is new to me. I am currently reading A Random Walk Down Wall Street and in the book they discuss Barry Minkow. I will embed a few videos which will give some background info but the gist of it is
1) Minkow starts ZZZZ Best Carpet Cleaning company at the age of 16
2) At 18 he is worth over a million dollars
3) The company goes public and on paper has revenues of nearly a 1/4 of a billion dollars.
4) Minkow is found out to be a fraud, running a ponzi scheme and working with organized crime (kosher nostra).
This brings you to the point in time where these videos take over. The 60 minutes interview in particular certainly put him in as good a light as possible basically "sure he has done bad things but look at him now what a great guy"
So at the end of the 60 minutes interview you get the sense that this jewish scam artist has turned over a new leaf, he is an evangelical preacher (lol) and helps the Feds uncover other frauds. All certainly sounds swell. Until of course reality hits. It turns out a tiger can't change his stripes. (the following is taken from wikipedia)
In 2009, Minkow issued a report accusing major homebuilder Lennar of massive fraud. Minkow claimed that irregularities in Lennar's off-balance-sheet debt accounting were evidence of a massive Ponzi scheme. Minkow accused Lennar of not disclosing enough information about this to its shareholders, and also claimed a Lennar executive took out a fraudulent personal loan.[26] In an accompanying YouTube video, Minkow denounced Lennar as "a financial crime in progress" and "a corporate bully." Lennar's stock plummeted in the wake of Minkow's reports. From January 9 (when Minkow first made his accusations) to January 22, Lennar's stock tumbled from $11.57 a share to only $6.55.[24] Minkow issued the report after being contacted by Nicholas Marsch, a San Diego developer who had filed two lawsuits against Lennar for fraud. Indeed, the language of the FDI report echoed that used in Marsch's filings. One of Marsch's suits was summarily thrown out; the other ended with Marsch having to pay Lennar $12 million in counterclaims.[15]
Lennar responded by adding Minkow as a defendant in a libel-and-extortion suit against Marsch. Minkow initially wasn't concerned, since he'd prevailed before in similar cases on free-speech grounds.[24] According to court records, Minkow had shorted Lennar stock, buying $20,000 worth of options in a bet that the stock would fall.[26] Even more seriously, he also bought Lennar stock after his FDI report, believing the stock would rebound after its dramatic plunge.[27] Minkow initially denied doing this, only to be forced to recant when confronted with trading records. Minkow also forged documents alleging misconduct on Lennar's part, and lied about having to go to the emergency room on the night before he was first scheduled to testify. He also went forward with the report even after a private investigator he'd hired for the case couldn't substantiate Marsch's claims. In an unrelated development, it was also revealed that Minkow operated the FDI out of the offices of his church and even used church money to fund it—something which could potentially jeopardize his church's tax-exempt status.[15]
On December 27, 2010, Florida Circuit Court Judge Gill Freeman issued terminating sanctions against Minkow in response to a motion by Lennar. Freeman found that Minkow had repeatedly lied under oath, destroyed or withheld evidence, concealed witnesses, and deliberately tried to "cover up his misconduct." According to Freeman, Minkow had even lied to his own lawyers about his behavior. Freeman determined that Minkow had perpetuated "a fraud on the court" that was so egregious that letting the case go any further would be a disservice to justice. In her view, "no remedy short of default" was appropriate for Minkow's lies. She ordered Minkow to reimburse Lennar for the legal expenses it incurred while ferreting out his lies. According to legal experts, it is extremely rare for a judge to issue terminating sanctions, since they are reserved for particularly egregious misconduct and have the effect of revoking a litigant's right to defend himself. Earlier, Freeman had been so angered by Minkow's behavior that she called him a liar in open court, a rarity for a judge. Lennar estimates that its attorneys and investigators spent hundreds of millions of dollars exposing Minkow's lies.[28][29]
On March 16, 2011, Minkow announced through his attorney that he was pleading guilty to one count of insider trading. According to his lawyer, Minkow had bought his Lennar options using "nonpublic information." The plea, which is separate from the civil suit, came a month after Minkow learned he was the subject of a criminal investigation. Minkow claimed not to know at the time that he was breaking the law. The SEC had already been probing Minkow's trading practices. On the same day, Minkow resigned as senior pastor of Community Bible Church, saying in a letter to his flock that since he was no longer "above reproach," he felt that he was "no longer qualified to be a pastor." Six weeks earlier, $50,000 in cash and checks was stolen from the church during a burglary. Though unsolved, it was noted as suspicious due to Minkow's admitted history of staging burglaries to collect insurance money.[26][30][31][32]
The nature of the "nonpublic information" became clear a week later, when federal prosecutors in Miami filed a criminal information charging Minkow with one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud. Prosecutors charged that Minkow and Marsch (listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the complaint) conspired to extort money from Lennar by driving down its stock. The complaint also revealed that Minkow had sent his allegations to the FBI, SEC and IRS, and that the three agencies found his claims credible enough to open a formal criminal investigation into Lennar's practices. Minkow then used confidential knowledge of that investigation to short Lennar stock, even though he knew he was barred from doing so.[33][34][35] Minkow opted to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge rather than face charges of securities fraud and market manipulation, which could have sent him to prison for life.[36]
On March 30, Minkow pleaded guilty before Judge Patricia A. Seitz. Minkow's attorney, Alvin Entin, admitted that his client had acted recklessly, but had been "deluded and taken advantage of" by Marsch. Minkow faces a maximum of five years in prison, and may have to pay as much as $350,000 in fines and penalties and $500 million in restitution. However, he has agreed to cooperate with the government in its probe of Marsch.[37][38][39]
The Los Angeles Times obtained a copy of the plea agreement, in which Minkow admitted to issuing his FDI report on Lennar at Marsch's behest. According to the agreement, Marsch offered to have Minkow retract his report if Lennar paid him in cash and stock. It also said that Minkow's report triggered a bear raid which temporarily reduced the market capitalization of Lennar by $583 million. Minkow faced a minimum of 30 years in prison had the case gone to trial.[40]
On June 16, Freeman ordered Minkow to pay Lennar $584 million in damages—roughly the amount the company lost as a result of the bear raid. Freeman's ruling stated that Minkow and Marsch had entered into a conspiracy to wreck Lennar's stock in November 2008.[39] With interest, the bill could easily approach a billion dollars—far more than he stole in the ZZZZ Best scam.[41]
On July 21, Seitz sentenced Minkow to five years in prison. However, he could serve as few as three years depending on how well he cooperates in the federal investigation of Marsch. In imposing the sentence, Seitz said that Minkow had "no moral compass that says 'Stop.'" Seitz also ordered him to pay Lennar $583.5 million in restitution—an amount that had been imposed a month earlier in the civil case.[23][42][43] This could be a potentially ruinous amount for Minkow, on top of the money he still owes the ZZZZ Best victims and Union Bank.
Seitz had recommended that Minkow serve his sentence at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery in Montgomery, Alabama. However, on September 20, he was ordered to begin his sentence at Federal Medical Center, Lexington in Lexington, Kentucky.[44]
So this evangelical jew is up to his same old tricks, I wonder what is going on at his church
(again taken from wikipedia) On June 14, 2011; KGTV in San Diego interviewed several members of Minkow's former church, who said Minkow swindled them. One woman said Minkow asked her for $300,000, purportedly to help finance a movie about his redemption. The FBI is investigating.[45]
Almost a month later, on July 6, it emerged that officials with Community Bible Church had accused Minkow of running the Fraud Discovery Institute with church funds, applying for credit cards in the names of church members and leading his flock into bad investments. Church officials had made the claims as part of a confidential pre-sentencing report. When Minkow's attorney, Alvin Entin, got word of the letter, he asked for and was granted two weeks to review the allegations and respond to them. This pushed Minkow's sentencing back to July 21.[43][46] This was the second time Minkow's sentencing had been postponed; it was originally slated for June 16 but was postponed to July 6.
So I reiterate the title, what a scumbag jew. All told this jew has probably defrauded people of billions of dollars, he is a scam artist of the highest order. That is bad enough, what is worse is that clearly he cannot be rehabilitated into regular society. Just another example of a jew stealing money from others time and time again. It is their racial commitment.

The Little Man
I spoke with a guy who runs a convenience store the other day. Vietnam vet, nice guy, I've known him for several years. You walk into his store now and the shelves are bare, a little bit of beer, no cigarettes. So I asked him about business, he said the majority of people in the surrounding area are unemployed (which is true). He said before he was selling 300 cases of beer per week, last week he sold 12. As I said his cigarette shelves are bare so he isn't selling those either. It's sad to see any mom and pop shop in decline, but the story takes a sadder twist.
He said the distributor he bought cigarettes from went to $64 per carton (his price) for Class A cigs like Marlboro Reds. At places like Wal-Mart the same carton is low to mid 50's. He said that companies like that and bigger gas stations get a kickback from Philip Morris because they sell so many cartons, basically making it near impossible for the little man to sell them. Another story about his milk distributor who went up to 6 dollars per gallon on milk when you can buy it yourself for 3 bucks on sale at a chain drug store.
The little man cannot compete with these national chain stores, not even close. So either they have a very loyal customer base who just ponies up the extra money, which in the best of times may be plausible, but in a wrecked economy like this it's not going to happen. So the little man folds, gone for good and we become a nation of huge multi national corporations.
Don't misunderstand me, there is nobody who I hold in higher regard than entrepreneurs, and I realize that in the case of Wal-Mart it is the fruits of arguably the most successful entrepreneur. I also understand the buggy whips, and I wouldn't want to feel nostalgic for them. But at the same time we see well connected companies getting kickbacks while the little guy struggles, it doesn't seem like the way things should be. The entire 20th century there were big companies, but they coincided with small mom and pops, only in the latter part did the corporations begin to take over as government involvement (taxes and regulations) raised the barriers of entry to the point where nobody can compete other than those standing on the top of the hill.
So whoever is to blame it is a sad day when the little man gets shut down.
The Gold Tsunami
The Gold (and Silver) bull continues to closely follow the giant wave formation of a tsunami. The recent more parabolic rise in Gold up to above $1,900 is analogous to the little ridge
of water we first saw way out in the distance, and now, much like when
the waters recede from the shore early in the tsunami wave formation,
Gold is undergoing a correction.
As the “Gold” waters receded, the diehard deflationists have run out onto the bare sea bed to whoop and holler that the sea of Dollar Inflation is ending. They
currently hop about the nearby sea floor waving their arms in victory
as they envision a catastrophic deflationary depression that will wreck
the financial market back to the Stone Age, and the price of the
Precious Metals along with it. Unfortunately,
they fail to understand the wave cycle at work as the waters are sucked
away from the shore only to strengthen the Gold tsunami wave that grows
in the distance For the great Gold tsunami wave is being bolstered as
the economy deteriorates, thereby necessitating a continued parabolic
growth of printing of paper currencies worldwide. Where
the first little parabolic rise in Gold merely caught the attention of
the public, the growing strength of that wave as it reaches shore will
leave everyone running for the hills of Gold and Silver.
The Fed Shows Inflation When They Want To and Deflation When They Want To
Last
week, the Fed met for a special two-day meeting that ended with a dull
thud as they announced “The Twist” that sounds a bit like a dance from
the 60s. They also stated that
the economy was weakening - economic weakness that has motivated them to
aggressively inflate the US Dollar for 10 years, now. Yet,
market expectations were for the Fed to announce another round of
Dollar Inflation via QE3 at the special 2 day meeting so the markets
sold off in response to the failure of the Fed’s announcement.
What
occurred in the Precious Metals markets seems a bit absurd as Gold and
Silver were pounded aggressively lower in price though the Fed often
leads rounds of Dollar Inflation with suggestive hints of deflationary
pressures. To some extent it
defines the need for their move, and it probably intends to show that
they are in control of something that they cannot control. The massive deflationary backdrop of debt demands that they either “inflate or die.”
Commentators
noted that the exaggerated fall in Gold, Silver, and in the PM stocks
resulted from margin calls “where investors sell what they have to
sell.” Yet, the extent of the
weekly fall in the DJIA was rather small compared to the 2 week fall
back in early August - a time when Gold, Silver, and the PM Stocks moved
higher. A more likely cause for
the fall in the PM sector lies in the Fed’s failure to announce QE3 as
it pointed to economic weakness, combined with this coming Tuesday’s
Gold and Silver options expiration date - a monthly bashing that
generally sees Gold and Silver whacked to lower levels. Further
downside pressure on the PM sector probably stems from big trading
firms reversing their “long Gold/ short PM stock ratio trade.” The
large swings in the Gold price over the last 30 days provided the
volume they needed to sell paper gold, and to cover and accumulate the
Gold and Silver shares. Given
the timing one has to wonder whether these large traders are the same
firms who trade for the Market Stabilization Fund, and if they knew in
advance that the Fed would tip its comments to deflation this week.
The Gold Chart
The
following Gold Chart shows that the cyclical tendency since early 2009
has been for Gold to bottom at the green arrows with Gold correcting
down to and through the dotted Bollinger Band (BB) mid-line to hit the
34 week exponential moving average while the RSI Indicator approaches
the 50 line. Gold fell to the BB mid-line on Friday as the RSI approached the 50 line. Black rays off of the 2008 top show that Gold has been bottoming at each black line extended over the “last top.” Gold reached that juncture on Friday. We might see Gold weakness early next week, but we expect the basic relationship to hold. Near this point in the 70’s Gold Chart, an imminent bottom produced a sharp rise.
REVIEW OF OUR EXPECTATIONS
1) A major bottom for the PM stock indices is now in place as we laid out for subscribers (see HERE for subscription details) early in the week of August 8th based on the fractal relationship to 1979.
2) Price
and the technical Indicator readings for the PM Stock Indices continue
to track the 1970’s with much higher prices expected in the
intermediate-term. Per the 70’s PM Stock Model we expect this run to be
the first, and smallest, of 3 momentum runs to come for the PM stock
indices over the next few years. The mid-900s appear to be a realistic target for the HUI Index into year-end, or into early 2012.
3) We have reached the point in the cycle where leverage returns to the PM stocks with a vengeance per the late 1970s charts.
4) The fundamentals for Gold, Silver, and the PM Stocks could never be better. In
fact, the Fed’s announcement this week was read as “deflationary”,
where in reality it screamed, “We must launch an accelerated program of
Dollar Inflation, and soon!”
5) Gold
has now corrected in a very similar time sequence to the late 70’s,
though the depth of the correction has been deeper over the last 2 days.
Current Gold price
relationships to the Bollinger Band mid-line and 34 EMA line suggest
that an intermediate-term bottom is likely due this coming week. Such a bottom would fit the 70’s model nicely.
6) The
US cannot pay its “regular bills” and interest on its debt, based on
its current cash flow, much less cover other important needs that are
growing astronomically. We now depend on the Fed printing an accelerating number of Dollars. This is what QE is - pure debt monetization that devalues the US Dollar aggressively. For the U.S. economy, it is either “print or die.” We
expect that the Fed will print while acting like they have some choice
in the matter other than a total Deflationary Depression. This fact has been true since early last decade.
7) The
Fed generally appears to prefer to see the prices of Gold, Silver, and
the Commodities correct to create overhead resistance on the charts
before they announce Dollar Inflation moves. That
is probably what was intended via the announcement at their special
2-day meeting creating the exaggerated fall in the PM sector this week -
coupled with the usual sharp weakness going into Gold and Silver
options expiration, next Tuesday.
8) With
the big funds ending the long Gold/ short PM stock ratio trade, the PM
stocks should be heavily supported after this bottom is complete.
9) The long-term PM Stock Model from the 70’s suggests that we will be entering the “sweet spot” of a 3rd Wave advance as soon as this correction is over.
10) Our upside targets for Silver for this run into late 2011/ early 2012 of $52 to $56 should be achievable for silver, with $58 to $62 as real possibilities.
11) We still expect all of our intermediate upside price objectives for Gold to be reached by late this year, or early next. We expect the next run in Gold to reach the $2250 level and $2500 level before a higher run takes us up to $3,000 Gold, or higher.
12) The
recent exaggerated decline in the PM sector will likely act like
pulling and letting go of a huge rubber band in terms of how the PM
sector will advance after this correction ends.
13) An
end of the aggressive and accelerating course of US Dollar Inflation at
this time by the Fed would create a deflationary depression that would
dwarf that of the 1929 era yet the Fed has gained the right from
Congress to inflate to infinity if necessary. That
right is the major difference between today and 2008 when nobody could
foresee the Fed moving to aggressive Dollar Inflation via debt
monetization after they blew out the banking multiplier loan system of
Dollar Inflation. Debt
monetization, QE, is a more permanent form of Dollar Inflation that
cannot easily be reversed, thus the Dollar Devaluation via QE will be
mostly permanent leaving a more permanent high price of Gold when it is
all over.
14) We believe that we lie at a “load the boat moment” in this historic Gold and Silver bull for Gold, Silver, and the PM stocks.
Summary
1. The mid-900s appear to be a realistic target for the HUI Index into year-end, or into early 2012.
2. $52 to $56 should be achievable for silver, with $58 to $62 as real possibilities, by late 2011/ early 2012
3. The
next run upward in Gold to the $2250 level followed by $2500 with the
potential for $3,000, or a bit higher, is now on the radar screen for
late this year, or early next.

Rick Perry The Pornographer
SOURCE
Maybe it’s time for Ben Bernanke to actually be concerned about Rick Perry’s warnings that things are going to get ugly. Or, at least, perhaps the head of the Fed might want to ask for clarification:
Is that “Big Tit Brotha Lovers 6”-ugly or “Bisexual Barebacking Vol. 1”-ugly?
It turns out that those are just two of the titles that have been released by Movie Gallery, at one time the largest domestic distributor of pornography in the country. Oddly enough, it turns out that Texas governor and GOP presidential hopeful Rick Perry has invested quite a pretty penny into the porn-pushers.
Yes, that’s bible-thumpin’, Jesus lovin’, conservative-minded, prayer rally holdin’, Bernanke-threatenin’ Rick Perry. The same Rick Perry that had told a few hundred Republicans in June to "speak with pride about our morals and our values and redouble our effort to elect more conservative Republicans."
Politician, presidential candidate and . . . pornographer?
A recent report reveals that Perry invested upwards of $10,000 into Movie Gallery stock, whom, while releasing a bit more family-friendly titles, also helped bring pictures like “Teend Never Say No” to a broader audience by releasing them to their rental stores.
While that flick hasn’t officially made its way around the offices at RT, we are willing to bet that it might not be the best glowing example of the “abstinence only” sex-education that Perry was pushing in Texas high schools.
And that’s not even the big finish. It has also been unearthed that Perry signed onto a bill as Texas governor that would protect porno companies from facing “tort suits” for putting products across state lines. That meant higher profits for porn, higher profits for Movie Gallery and, thus, higher profits for Perry.
Perry’s initial investment in Movie Gallery occurred in 1995, but today there is no telling if and how much the governor has tied to the smut sellers. In 1998, Perry moved his investment to a blind trust, meaning the hard investment info is now sealed. Why would he make such a move? It may or may not have had something to do with the American Family Association asking federal investigators to probe into Movie Gallery at that time.
And yes, that's the same American Family Association that recently put together a prayer rally in The Lone Star State that featured a highly-publicized appearance by Perry himself.
All of this of course lends itself to one very important question: do the actions in “Bisexual Barebacking Vol. 1” oppose the anti-gay agenda perpetrated by the AMA?
Actually, there are much bigger things at stake here, particularly the problematic position that Perry has put himself in barely a week after he announced his official run for the presidency. After getting a late start in the race for the GOP nomination, Perry has already made not-so-pleasant headlines for threatening Ben Bernanke over quantitative easing and questioning President Barack Obama’s love for his country.
While the jury might still be out at that one, we do know at least that Perry is aware that Brothas love big tits. And there are at least six volumes of sensational, cinematic glory that can vouch for the fact.
Max Keisier And Alex Jones TOTALLY Destroy ALL Of Their Credibility
They claim Ben Bernanke is protestant. You heard correctly, Ben Shalom Bernanke is not a jew..........
You must fast forward to around 5:15 to get to this call.
By blatantly lying they have both destroyed any kind of credibility they ever had.
Top 10 Poorest Countries On Earth
Wow, they are all countries full of blacks. Why am I not surprised. As I have said many times "you cannot import the third world into your country and expect to keep your first world status" The demographic crisis is the most important we face.
The level of economy in countries around the globe is not even. It is somewhere very high and somewhere very low. GDP, literacy rate and employment rate
are several parameters of a country to determine the level of its
economy. According to a report of the United Nations, hunger causes the
death of about 25,000 people everyday. Unfortunately,
the number of children is greater than that of adults. Consider
several facts of income disparity between rich and poor nations to
measure the cleavage between the haves and the haves not. The combined
income of the world’s richest individuals leaves far behind that of the
poorest 416 million. 982 million out of 4.8 billion people in the developing world live on $1 a day. Another 2.5 billion live on below $2 a day. 40% of the poorest population made up 5% of world income while 20% of the richest population made up 75% of global income in 2005.
A country with a GDP per capita of $765 dollars or less is defined as a low-income or poor country.
You may wonder why poor countries remain poor. Some interrelated
factors like geography, industrialization, colonialism, education,
resources, infrastructure, overpopulation, investment, government and
debt make poor countries remain the heavy foot of poverty.
Look into the fragile features of the ten poorest countries of the world.
10. Ethiopia (GDP – per capita: $700)
“The Sadomo region of the Ethiopia is known for producing the best coffee second to Harar….Make Trade Fair!” – mcandrea
Ethiopia
ranks 170 out of 177 the poorest countries on the Human Development
Index (UNDP HDI 2006). Half of its GDP depends on agricultural
activity. The agricultural sector suffers lowdown because of poor
cultivation techniques and frequent drought. 50% of its population 74.7
million bears the burden of poverty and 80% lives on bread line. 47%
of males and 31% of females are literate. Some parts of Ethiopia run a
high risk of hepatitis A, hepatitis E, typhoid fever, malaria, rabies,
meningococcal meningitis and schistosomiasis.
09. Niger (GDP – per capita: $700)
Niger with a population of 12.5 million is one of the ten poorest countries in the world. Drought is a common natural calamity in Niger.
It often undergoes a phase of severe food crisis. 63% of its total
population lives on below $1 a day. Adult literacy rate is as low as
15%. Life expectancy spans up to 46 years. A number of people die of
hepatitis A, diarrhea, malaria, meningococcal meningitis and typhoid
fever.
“Escaping from poverty”
08. Central African Republic (GDP – per capita: $700)
“Rebel in northern Central African Republic”
The Central African Republic
ranks 171 as a poor country. Agriculture is the backbone of its
unstable economy. Life expectancy of its meager population 4.3 ranges
from 43.46 to 43.62 years. 13.5% of its population is at risk of AIDS.

The rank of Guinea Bissau
as a poor country is 172. Farming and fishing are the only pillars of
its economy. The level of income is not even in all parts of the
country. About 10% of its adult population is at risk of HIV.
06. Union of the Comoros (GDP – per capita: $600)
Population growth and unemployment at a high rate are responsible for the poor economy of Union of the Comoros.
Population density at a rate of 1000 per square km in agriculture
zones may result in an environmental crisis. Agricultural contribution
to its GDP is 40%. The low level of education has raised the level of
labor force. Economy mainly depends on foreign grants.
05. Republic of Somalia (GDP – per capita: $600)
“Sixteen
million people in eastern Africa are in need of emergency food aid and
the threat of starvation is severe, according to FAO’s latest report on
the Food Supply Situation and Crop Prospects in sub-Saharan Africa.” – ☠ ● qυєєη σƒ яσ¢к ● ☠
Agriculture is the base of the economy of Republic of Somalia
in the Horn of Africa. Nomads and semi-nomads comprise a major part of
the population. Rearing livestock is the primary source of livelihood
for them. The small agricultural industry contributes 10% to its GDP.
“Mogadishu.
October 2004. View of Mogadishu north. Mogadishu is the place where
effects of the conflict are more striking. There are arround 400.000
internally displaced persons. Access to health structures is quite
impossible for the danger to circulate in the streets where combats are
on-going and all type infrastructures have disapeared: water,
sanitation, schools… The absence of state during more than 13 years has
made impossible any investment in public structures. It is estimated
that around 72% of Somalia’s population lacks access to basic healthcare
services and the healthcare system is in ruins.” – abdisalla
04. The Solomon Islands (GDP – per capita: $600)
“Solomon Islands Tsunami — Minister whose church was washed away”
The Solomon Islands is a country in Melanesia.
Fishing holds its domestic economy. Above 75% of the labor class, is
involved in fishing. Timber was the main product for export until 1998.
Palm oil and copra are important cash crops for export. The Solomon
Islands are rich in mineral resources like zinc, lead, gold and nickel.

A beautiful country ruined because of one mans greed. ” – Mr Sean
Republic of Zimbabwe is located between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers in the south of Africa.
Its economy suffers a slowdown due to supply shortage, soaring
inflation and foreign exchange shortage. Zimbabwe’s involvement in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo left its economy fragile. The worst
consequence of the knelt-down economy is unemployment that is as high
as 80%.

Republic of Liberia on the west coast of Africa
is one of the ten poorest economies across the globe. A decline in the
export of commodities, the flight of many investors from the country,
the unjust exploitation of the country’s diamond resource, looting and
war profiteering during the civil war in 1990 brought the economy of
the country to its knees. External debt of the country is more than its
GDP.

is the last at the bottom of the economic heaps. Depreciation of Franc
Zone currencies, incredibly high levels of inflation in 1994, eruption
of the civil war, and continuation of armed conflict and slumping oil
price in 1998 broke down the economy of the country.

81 Year Old Crack Dealer Arrested. Guess What Color She Is.
SOURCE
Meet Ola Mae Robinson.
The 81-year-old Alabama woman was arrested this week for allegedly selling crack cocaine from her home in Prichard, a city outside Mobile. Cops reported that a search Wednesday of the octogenarian’s home turned up cocaine and prescription pills that she was peddling.
As seen in the above mug shot, Robinson appeared to be wearing a neck pillow when she was booked into the county jail.
Known as “Mama,” Robinson’s rap sheet includes previous convictions for narcotics sales. During a previous police raid at her home, investigators found a green tin (“marked sugar free mints”) inside her purse. The tin contained crack cocaine. Her purse also contained pill bottles containing Xanax and the painkiller Hydrocodone.
Despite her advanced age, Robinson is not, remarkably, the oldest crack dealer named Ola Mae. That distinction goes to Floridian Ola Mae Agee, who was sentenced last October to 18 months in prison. Agee, who was 87 at the time of her conviction for cocaine distribution, died in prison last December.
Mestizo Kill 8 Year Old White Step Daughter
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) -- Prosecutors charged a Nebraska man Friday with killing his 8-year-old stepdaughter a day after her body was found in a remote area several miles north of their home.
Salvador Carlos Lopez, 32, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kerra Wilson, according to court documents. Investigators found Kerra's body Thursday evening in a rugged area of Sioux County - miles away from the family's home - after a rancher reported seeing something suspicious.
A Nebraska State Patrol investigator said in court documents that Lopez acknowledged killing his stepdaughter after Kerra's body was found.
Police spent two days searching for the girl after Lopez and her mother, Amada Lopez, reported her missing. Lopez had claimed he dropped her off at school Wednesday, but investigators don't believe that.
Authorities said Friday that the last time the brown-haired, blue-eyed girl from Mitchell was seen by anyone other than her stepfather was Tuesday evening, when Kerra was with her grandparents.
Mitchell Elementary School principal Kirk Kuxhausen said Kerra did not appear in any of the security camera footage shot in the school or on the playground on Wednesday.
Investigators weren't initially able to find the body because the surrounding terrain was so rugged. Investigators were still trying to determine when and where the girl was killed, Nebraska State Patrol Lt. Monica Bartling said.
"We were hoping to bring Kerra safely home to her family; sadly, we weren't able to do that," Bartling said.
Kerra Wilson has three younger siblings who are all staying with family members. A phone listing for Kerra's mother was disconnected Friday.
Lopez' co-workers at the Pathfinder Irrigation District declined to comment Friday.
A judge ordered Lopez to be held without bond at least until his initial court appearance Monday morning. He has been held in the Scotts Bluff county jail since Thursday. Bartling said Lopez does not have an extensive criminal record.
The Official 2001 FBI Docs On Urban Moving Systems And The 9-11-2001 Dancing Israelis Incident
SOURCE
The controversy around Urban Moving Systems (active as a business since approximately 1996) centers around the fact that it was a Mossad front company, and whether or not the “employees” (agents) knew what was about to go down on September 11th.
There were also, according to the FBI report, traces of explosive in the van used in the Dancing Israelis incident. Were members of this group involved in rigging the towers for demolition?
In section 5, page 25 of the FBI report, a male eyewitness who was painting the interior of an apartment spots the Dancing Israelis on a nearby roof “less than 5 minutes” after the first plane hits the WTC. The location of the roof, 100 Manhattan Avenue in Union City, NJ, is a 5 minute drive from Urban Moving Systems at 3 W 18th Street in Weehauken.
This contradicts the statement of one of the Israelis in the 2nd video, who claims they began driving to that point after the first plane hit the towers.
There were a number of reasons I retrieved and posted the 4 page police report from the East Rutherford, NJ P.D. on the 9-11-2001 Dancing Israelis incident. If any 9-11 researchers had seen the report, they failed to make it available for public scrutiny.
As a consequence, some individuals have concluded that the Dancing Israelis were an “urban legend”, based only on researchers’ opinions and a slew of seemingly disparate facts.
Fill out an FOIA request, or write a letter, and these public records are yours for a few dollars, or free. So why have we not seen (until now) official documentation on these suspicious events – events that apparently never got a mention in the 9-11 Commission Report?

Left On Red
Well, why not?
If the way is obviously clear in both directions, if it’s obviously safe to enter the intersection, make your turn and proceed. . . why not proceed?
Because of The Law.
It is (usually) illegal to make a left turn on red. Sometimes, a right turn, too.
But why is it illegal?
Because The Law assumes a very low standard of competence – and applies it generally. If you think about it, this least common denominatorism is another form of collectivism. The individual – his merits, his skill, his initiative and judgment – all irrelevant. You can literally be Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (or Danica Patrick), a superbly skilled and scrupulously conscientious driver whose actions were impeccably safe – and still you will receive a ticket – and all that goes with it, including the smear of “unsafe driving” – if you are caught ignoring a red light – ignoring The Law – and using your own eyes and skill and judgment instead. You are expected – required – to sit like one of Pavlov’s dogs, not merely awaiting the green signal but (and this is key) paying no attention whatsoever to the flow of traffic in the lanes you are hoping to cross. You are not encouraged to monitor the situation, to use your own eyes to see whether traffic’s coming.
Just wait for the light. Good doggy!
What’s wanted are three things: Docility, passivity – and (most of all) obedience.
These are the true underlying principles of American traffic law – not “safety.” If this were were not the case, then good drivers who for good reason ignore pointless traffic signals – the classic example being an endless red light at an obviously empty intersection where it’s clear to all there’s no other traffic around for miles – would not have to fret the possibility that, while no traffic is present, there might be a cop hiding in the bushes, patiently waiting for some not-fully-conditioned individual to use his senses and exercise judgment rather than demonstrate blind obedience to The Law.
When this individual goes to court, the question at issue will never be whether his actions were safe. Whether it was reasonable to ignore the traffic signal and proceed. The accused could literally provide a video of the entire incident that clearly showed no danger to anyone; that he exercised the appropriate caution before proceeding, that at no time was he in any way putting himself or any other motorist in danger. None of that matters. Only The Law – and mindless, literally mindless, unquestioning obedience matters.
In fact, the worst possible sin (in the eyes of the system) one can commit these days is to use one’s mind – to question, and to act accordingly, based on reasoned judgment.
This subtle conditioning has had a widespread soporific effect. A dulling of the American spirit. One sees the results not just on the road, but everywhere. People – most people – just do as they are told. They almost never ask why anymore.
Few think.
Even fewer act based on their thinking.
They just … shuffle along in a kind of stupor.
It is why driving has become such a depressing – and aggravating – experience. People are no longer expected to pay attention to anything except The Law. Not to conditions, not to the traffic around (or behind) them. Just … wait… for … the light.
And more subtly: Do as you are Told.
This reflects the mindset of modern America – and an American people that is much more like the Weimar-era German (or Soviet) people than it would probably like to believe. A people that is reflexively deferential to authority (examples: TSA groping/scanning; random “checkpoints” – etc.) that not only does not question but gets its back up at those few who do question.
Or worse, who disobey.
Consider what the typical American would probably say in response to this column: Why, he is encouraging people to break The Law! Does he want to legalize drunk driving, too?
And yet, it was once (a long time ago) precisely the opposite quality that defined Americans. They were individuals – and they questioned. Our culture and society once upon a time encouraged them to question, too. If something did not make sense, it was ignored – and even ridiculed. People who thumbed their noses at stupid, tyrannical laws – and those enforcing them – were admired.
Today, you are expected to Submit and Obey, regardless. It is The Law.
Period.
But unlike Orwell’s 1984, the populace is not kept in check by overt force. Instead, as in Huxley’s Brave New World, the populace has been infantilized and is kept perpetually distracted by idiot games and gadgets. There is also soma for those who think too much in the form of various “anti-depressants” and so forth. In the book, non-conformists and freethinkers were exiled to an island – isolated spots around the world where they were – finally – left in peace to do as they wished.
That may be the best we can hope for – those of us who for whatever reason haven’t been effectively conditioned to automatically Submit and Obey, who dare to think – and act accordingly.
I suppose it’s better than the lethal chamber reference by Huxley’s World Controller, Mustapha Mond – and much more so than Orwell’s Room 101.

Hal Turner Released From Prison
This seems to be a difficult issue for some, but I will repeat what I have said from the very beggining. Hal Turner does not deserve to be in jail for what he said. This is not debatble and has nothing to do with him working for the FBI. Now he may be a rat, but that is a seperate issue than what he was being held in prison for. Do not confuse the two, but I am glad he is out of prison for the principal of it.

Keep Your Head
As anyone who follows the markets knows Gold and Silver have had a horrible week. Silver is down over 25% in 2 days. Volatility like that is hard to stomach, and can be crippling mentally. But to be succesful in life and investing you must remain psychologically vigilant.
The fundamental reasons for owning precious metals have not changed. Here are several quick reasons why gold and silver are crucial to have.
1) All fiat currencies eventually go to zero. No exceptions.
2) Since all currencies are fiat, it is up to you to become your own central bank, putting your personal finances on the gold standard and backing whichever percentage of your net worth in precious metals as you deem neccesary. If you do not do this you are 100% at the mercy of helicopter Ben.
3) There is no conventional way out of our debt crisis, it is a statistical impossibility to ever repay what we owe without devaluing the currency, just look at the debt clock.
Being a succesful investor requires mental fortitude, your resolve cannot be shaken and you cannot allow your emotions to dictate actions. If you have done your homework as you should, and understand why you bought precious metals in the first place, than the rest of this is noise and you must acknowledge it as such. Investing in things like gold and silver are very different than equities. For example if you bought into a company which went down 25% in 2 days, it is probably a sign of major internal problems. However if precious metals move down in the same time it must be seen as a buying oppurtunity. The pshycological problem stems from a fundamental misdirection, which is pricing gold in dollars and not dollars in gold. It is the dollars becoming worth less in your pocket not gold gaining value and vice versa as we have seen this week where money comes into the USD, dollar rallies and as such things priced in dollars go down. This needs to be seen for what it is, an anomaly as this chart proves.
If you go to the grocery store and all the food was suddenly 25% off would you walk away, and say "dang I shouldn't have bought food last week" or "something is up, I'm going to wait till I see other people buying food" or would you say, "I was just paying full price for this food last week and now it is 25% off, I'm loading my cart."
I have been investing in precious metals long enough to know that it doesn't matter if you buy silver at 30 and next week it is at 25, if several years from now it is 75. I remember buying silver a few years ago at 14 bucks, it got to the high teens then low 20's and I was on the sidelines waiting for a pullback, which came thankfully, but the point is at this point it doesn't matter one bit if I had bought at 18 or 20 or 22, those prices are a steal now. And as I said if you understand why you are doing it than you must keep your head when those around you are losing theirs.

The Greatest Threat Against The Ron Paul Camp To Date
Original Article (posted here to keep it from dissappearing)
Who ‘Really’ Is this Bruce Fein?
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero
Last week, right after publishing my article on Congresswoman Schmidt and Bruce Fein’s brilliant foreign lobby money rechanneling-laundering scheme, and to my shock, I found out about this:
The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced today that constitutional and international law expert Bruce Fein will join the campaign as senior advisor on legal matters.While some at Rep. Paul’s Camp were busy celebrating and cheering the announcement as a brilliant strategic move, I was frantically gathering cases and research notes, corresponding with current and former colleagues from the intelligence community who had come to support Rep. Paul, and communicating with a few friends with Rep. Paul’s Campaign who were equally troubled by this development.
“Bruce Fein’s participation adds to our campaign’s already intellectual heft, enabling us to more broadly engage the conversation about constitutionality, civil liberties and the dangers to national security of an increasingly interventionist foreign policy,” said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
I understand the ‘cheering’ side of Paul’s camp as they have been excited and impressed by the in- writing-and-words-only side of Bruce Fein. Not so different than those who were fired up and sold on the in-words-only rhetoric and promises staged by President Obama. The Constitutional Scholar Fein and the Constitutional Expert Obama. A Great Penman Fein and the Great Orator Obama…and of course the contradicting realities and the contradicting facts.
However, in this case, there are already too many established facts and too much history on Mr. Fein, and way too many rational and realistic people among Paul supporters to ring the alarm bells and counter this great threat before it’s too late. I will go as far as calling the penetration of the Ron Paul camp by Bruce Fein ‘the greatest threat to Paul’s camp to date,’ and will make a solid case for this characterization based on glaring and alarming facts; facts and concerns shared by several loyal Paul advisors today.
Who is the real Bruce Fein? Why there are so many different versions of Fein – one contradicting the other? How do his real actions and intimate associations stand in stark contrast to Ron Paul? What is the most likely plot in planting Mr. Fein within Paul’s campaign?
Foreign Lobby & Influence Peddling
Ron Paul has been consistent and exemplary in his strongly held principles on the Foreign lobby and influence peddling; a rarity in the US Congress. He has displayed intense disdain for foreign lobbying and foreign influence. He even considers congressional ‘junkets’ as another means to be compromised: stressing that he would not travel abroad on agenda-driven foreigners’ dime:
“I just think it’s unnecessary for congressmen to travel overseas, and the people in our district were on my side,” he said in an interview. “You don’t need to go to Bosnia to understand we have no business there.”
With Bruce Fein you have exactly the opposite stand. He has been a crusty foreign lobbyist making millions of dollars peddling his foreign bosses’ interests and influence in Congress and government agencies. For Fein it has never mattered who the foreign client or what their agenda. He does not care whether his foreign clients are criminals or terrorists or dictators. As long as they pay him handsomely he’ll sell their agenda and interest no matter what they may be. The words ‘principle’ or ‘taking a stand’ have never entered this foreign lobbyist’s dictionary or comprehension:
One minute, on behalf of one set of his foreign designated ‘terrorist’ bosses, Bruce Fein is busy selling the need for a genocide declaration by the US Congress against one nation:
“For the past year I have written about Bruce Fein in many articles that have been widely published and circulated. He is reportedly paid $100,000 per month to tell lies in Washington about the Government of Sri Lanka… Who are the American individuals backing this group? Where are they getting their money to pay Bruce Fein? Does former US Ambassador Blake have something to do with them…”
The next minute, on behalf of another well-known foreign mob boss, Bruce Fein is busy peddling influence and selling Congress his foreign bosses’ anti-genocide agenda:
“In 2007, Ayasli transferred $30 million in stock to fund a new endeavor, the nonprofit Turkish Coalition of America. The organization is headquartered in a Washington suite that has also been listed as the address for the Turkish Coalition USA PAC, the lobbying firm of Lydia Borland (who has represented the Turkish government), and the law firm of Bruce Fein and Associates (Fein comprises half of the Turkish American Legal Defense Fund)…”Bruce Fein sees no problem with representing foreign groups like this:
“materials put out by the Turkish Coalition of America and authored by a lawyer, Bruce Fein, who now represents Schmidt in the complaint, say that Congresswoman Schmidt has on numerous occasions voiced her opposition to such resolutions and maintains that the historical question is not appropriate for Congress to legislate. The congresswoman, based on her independent research, does not believe the tragic events constitute genocide…”
Fein hit the jackpot in 1991 when he signed on to represent Mozambique’s notorious guerrilla army, RENAMO, which was seeking to overthrow its country’s leftist government. When Fein came on board, RENAMO’s reputation has hit bottom…Mr. Fine, who now fakes and preaches non-interventionism and anti-influence peddling only to echo Ron Paul, in real life has been practicing the exact opposite:
…
Even the Reagan and Bush administrations kept their distance from RENAMO, despite their anti-Communist rhetoric…
…
Fein, however, eagerly signed up to flack for Dhlakama’s terror army. Like most foreign lobbyists, he bilked his client for huge sums of money while performing virtually no work.
“Now, Fein has returned to lobbying and is working for a client that has the dubious distinction of making RENAMO look good: The Sudan. That country’s government is barred from receiving U.S. foreign aid because of its support for terrorism and because of its revolting human rights record. Amnesty International reports that the Sudanese government not only assassinates and tortures its “enemies,” but that paramilitary forces have kidnapped scores of children, who are believed to be held in domestic slavery by their abductors or taken to camps in remote rural areas, where they are trained for military service”
Here is another on-the-spot description of Real Bruce Fein as a crusty “Beltway Prostitute”:
“Well, well, well. Wasn’t Bruce Fein just recently condemning the Government of Sri Lanka for trying to put an end to the LTTE? But this time he’s defending a sovereign government for protecting itself – rather than slandering it using falsehoods. Now you see what I mean when I earlier referred to Mr. Fein as a “Beltway prostitute.” He will accept money from anyone who can pay the price – regardless of where that money came from, or who his legal and public relations services might unjustly hurt. What an embarrassment to the US legal profession.”You see, for Mr. Fein pimping the Congress on behalf of foreign clients is about dollars. Nothing more; nothing less. Whether it is advocating additional foreign aid for one country while our nation is being bankrupted, or dragging our Congress to get involved with domestic meddling and the affairs of another foreign country, Bruce Fein has never been about the United States’ interests; just the opposite. Give Fein the dollars and he’ll sign up to lobby for any one: terrorists, corrupt foreign governments, mobsters, assassins …
Long pocketed as a ‘lobbyist’ by Pakistan, Sudan, Turkey, Tamil, and others,
Bruce Fein is the exact antithesis to Ron Paul’s principled position on issues related to foreign lobby, corruption and influence peddling in government.
Overt Neocon Ties & Covert Israel Pedigree
Ron Paul has been in staunch opposition and a counter to Neocon agendas and field players. Whether on the Israel lobby and agenda driving the hawkish currents in our nation today, or the corporate war machine interests guiding our foreign policy practices, Paul has consistently stood firm and unrelenting.
Mr. Fein’s public pedigree makes it fairly easy to spot his overt ties and links. For example: he has been an adjunct scholar with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). By now I think the majority of Americans know about AEI’s claim to fame:
“AEI is the most prominent think tank associated with American neoconservatism, in both the domestic and international policy arenas.[10] Irving Kristol, widely considered a father of neoconservatism, is a senior fellow at AEI, and many prominent neoconservatives—including Jeane Kirkpatrick, Ben Wattenberg, and Joshua Muravchik—spent the bulk of their careers at AEI.”A well-known couple of facts about AEI:
1- In order to be accepted by AEI, to become one of their scholars, proven neoconservative inklings and ties are the never-waivered prerequisites.Acceptance to the tightly knitted and guarded AEI Neocon community also extends to family members and religious affiliations. Bruce Fein has passed both litmus tests in becoming a highly-regarded member of AEI. His wife, Mattie Fein, has been a vocal hawk, neocon propaganda distributor, and a very familiar face within the Beltway neocon community:
2- AEI seeks candidates who put Loyalty and Allegiance to Israel above all.
John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt state in their controversial bestseller, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, that the tone of the right-leaning component of the Israel lobby results from the influence of the leaders of the two top lobby groups: AIPAC, and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. They go on to list, as right-leaning think tanks associated with the lobby, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and the American Enterprise Institute.
In 2007, Fein penned an opinion piece in the Washington Times calling on the United States to pledge military support to Iranian dissidents in the event of an uprising. Fein, whose father is of Iranian descent, was identified in the piece as the founder and president of the Institute for Persian Studies.While Fein’s AEI and neocon connections and strong ties are overtly stated, his loyalties and allegiance to Israel and the Israel lobby are not; that is, until you start digging. A former AEI member who now works as a congressional aid stated, ‘Bruce Fein was liked and trusted there as ‘one of them,’ a real Jewish man loyal to Israel and its interests.’
Fein has been successful in playing both sides of this field, and keeping his Israel related activities and ties mainly covert. However, in 2010, Fein’s wife, Mattie Fein, began expressing the couple’s views on Israel and Israel’s interests less covertly. Some attribute that to Mattie Fein’s desperate need and her fierce competition with Harman over Israel lobby dollars. Here is Mattie’s response to the test question by the Zionist community:
7. Would you support Israel taking military action to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons? Under what circumstances?
The United States should support whatever Israel believes is justified by national security worries over Iran.
And here is Bruce Fein’s buddy from AEI, the scandalous John Bolton, who’s been backing the Fein couple including Mattie Fein’s fundraising and campaign:
I was privy to some of the logistics involved in setting up the fundraiser that Bolton held for Mattie’s campaign. It amazed me how quickly some establishment Republicans tried to steal the thunder of Bolton’s appearance through various subterfuges and poaching, and it is a credit to the man’s character and timber that he refused to be a part of it. He was there to endorse Mattie Fein against Jane Harman, and he wouldn’t let third parties screw that up.Mattie Fein’s established Neocon pedigree, her hawkish propaganda and activities nicely echoes Bolton’s own. Some liken the relationship to mentor-protégé dynamics that began with the marriage to Fein and entry into the AEI circle.
The Question of Ethics …or Lack of
Even Ron Paul’s foes would admit that he has been a man of principle throughout his life; both inside and outside his congressional career. Those who may disagree with his political platform and stand would acknowledge his adherence to ethical practices, whether in his personal-family life or career.
Bruce Fein’s career on the other hand, in contrast to his writings and well-played public role, has been driven by lucrative foreign lobbying deals, influence peddling in the halls of Congress, the State Department and the CIA, and all that mostly for foreign agendas directly in conflict with those of Americans. Not only that, his regard for ethics as an attorney appears to be nonexistent. In his most recent scandal involving indirect funneling of foreign lobby dollars to Rep. Jean Schmidt, he was determined to have been intentionally misguiding his client on the sources of $500,000 dollars in legal fees:
In a statement released on August 5, the House Ethics Committee ruled that Rep Jean Schmidt has received multiple improper gifts totaling $500,000 from the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA) between 2008 and 2010. The Committee ruled that Schmidt must pay the money back, However, she will not face sanctions by the House as she was able to pin the blame for her behavior on her attorneys Bruce Fein and David SaltzmanYou can read the full report by the House Ethics Committee here. It remains to be seen whether anyone will go after Bruce Fein and his license for this highly scandalous case and ethics violations. His two possible explanations for this case would be: 1- I did not tell my client that my legal representation of her case was part of foreign lobby money funneling to her; 2- My client was fully aware of the foreign lobby bribery nature of my legal representation and services, but to protect her and my foreign bosses I took the blame. Under either explanation one glaring point remains clear, and that is the lack of ethics on behalf of the involved attorney-Bruce Fein. On the other hand, Mr. Fein appears to have had practice in riding ethics related scandals and waves. At least in the scandalous ethic violations case involving Bruce Fein and his partner Ephraim Chukwuemeka Ugwuonye, Esq.
I started with that famous quote from Marcus Tullius Cicero because it applies to this report and the plots delivered from within. When it comes to Ron Paul’s Campaign no one would ever have to worry about known snakes and neocons like Paul Wolfowitz or Richard Perle. The enemy sent to you will be one who talks just like you; speaks your words and shouts your slogans.
And does so very convincingly.
I have tried to be brief with carefully and well-sourced facts and cases to provide a factual profile for the real Bruce Fein. Considering the facts and who Mr. Fein is, and has been, why would he methodically go about attaching himself to Ron Paul and his campaign? After consulting with several well-respected and trust-worthy sources, the troubling answer was summed up in two possibilities:
1- This is a commonly used ploy by the establishment to penetrate Ron Paul and his camp which has been gaining momentum. This is where the plant carries inside information and strategic plans to the establishment, and simultaneously tries to exert negative influence over decision making and strategy-setting processes.Personally I am leaning more towards the second possibility and here is why:
2- The plant willingly and knowingly becomes the fall-guy bringing down the target candidate. Highly damaging and scandalous information about the plant would be strategically released to the media-public, and the candidate suffers the ultimate consequences.
I was privy to the extensive rap sheet maintained on Mr. Fein, his foreign mob bosses and their operations at J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. Mr. Fein is well aware of this rap sheet and the FBI’s long-maintained operations. I know with certainty that if released by the FBI, whether partially or completely, it would be used as ongoing front-page headlines by the media, to bring down the entire Paul campaign before the primaries.
Ron Paul already has a highly-respected constitutional scholar who is articulate, eloquent, passionate, and most importantly, trust-worthy, clean, and from outside the poisonous capital beltway. That person is Tom Woods. Paul does not need this man Fein. He does not need this glitzy-oily foreign lobbyist who stands in total contrast to Paul’s platform.
I like Ron Paul. I support his stand on foreign policy related matters and his objectives on what need to be changed. I applaud Paul’s stand on our liberties, and I back his quest for a much smaller government. I have done so for years. Please don’t let the establishment succeed in their plot. Bruce Fein is the greatest threat to Paul’s movement to date. He would be a stain – a taint; not one easily removed after the fact. Please begin the countdown, and have Ron Paul remove this man from the campaign as a trusted advisor and insider. Let the countdown begin today; at this hour -at this very minute.
Before it is too late.
