Chandra Levy Scandal Revisited

This story is not about Chandra Levy or Gary Condit. It goes far deeper then that. This is a story about the manipulative powers of the main stream media. Lets turn back the clock to May 2001:


This is Chandra Levy. She was found murdered
at Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC
























She was having an affair with this guy. Gary Condit.
A married Democratic Congressman from California.
When Chandra Levy went missing Gary Condit had some explaining to do. He denied over and over that he was having an affair.
Finally he admitted it after he got caught trying to hide a
gift box for her in the dumpster. The media went crazy with speculation. It was front page news in the newspapers. It was the lead story on all the network news stations.

Did her kill? Did he pay someone to kill her? Why? Was she going to the press with the story to ruin his career? Where's the body? He had motive. He had to do it! The variety of stories was endless!




















Fast forward to March 2009:




Enter this creep. Ingmar Guandique.


Now the real truth is revealed and the murderer arrested. Barely a whimper from the MSM. You would need the Hubbell telescope to find any coverage! Why is that I wondered?



The Huffington Post blog wrote this which is typical of most media outlets:

WASHINGTON — In the nearly eight years since intern Chandra Levy was attacked and killed in a Washington park, witnesses said a Salvadoran immigrant boasted in letters and jailhouse conversations that he picked out women randomly and stalked them. One witness said the man even bragged of maiming and killing people..



Salvadoran Immigrant? As you read the blog you get the connotation the guy is merely an immigrant who happens to be of Salvadoran decent. The plain and simple truth is; this guy is an outlaw. He is in this country illegally period. No spin no bullshit. Once the MSM found out he is here illegally they dropped the story quicker then John Edwards leaving a hotel room!



This is another fine example of spin journalism from Time Magazine. The title tries to equate our border with the Great wall of China or the Berlin Wall. Take your pick.

Check the caption!


The Great Wall of America


West of Naco, Arizona, some immigrants, including a 10-year-old boy, scale the new border fence in an effort to reach the States.
West of Naco, Arizona, some immigrants, including a 10-year-old boy, scale the new border fence in an effort to reach the States.

SPIN:

They like to substitute the word immigrants for what they actually are...illegals.What this really is, is a test of America's stupidity. The media wants to hold your hand. Just like your mother did, when you were young, crossing the street. Aren't they wonderful.

Obama calls Gitmo 'a misguided experiment'










I got to hand it to Obama. He is one smooth talking S.O.B. He stood in the National Archives building in Washington, DC.... just in front of The Declaration of Independence... and gave the most wonderful speech I ever heard.


The Messiah's words echoed through the halls, wrapped in the American flag, dripping with self-righteousness. Chris Matthews must have felt another tingle going up his leg.

Were there any out and out lies? Maybe not.... But lets just say he was less then forthcoming with the facts, starting with this quote.





Instead of giving Bush a pat on the back for keeping us safe since 911 he said this:


"There are no neat or easy answers here," Obama said in a speech in which he pledged anew to clean up what he said was "quite simply a mess, a misguided experiment" at Guantanamo that he had inherited from the Bush administration.




He went on to say:


"In the midst of all these challenges, however, my single most important responsibility as President is to keep the American people safe. It's the first thing that I think about when I wake up in the morning. It's the last thing that I think about when I go to sleep at night. "


I suggest that on the surface this may be true. But when you dig down he is trying to fulfill a campaign promise to far left organizations like Code Pink the left wing Cindy Sheehan's that got him elected. I also believe he cares more about world-wide opinion on Gitmo then he does about the true safety of Americans. Its funny. All the bleeding heart cry baby liberals around the world, including the US, want Gitmo closed; but no one wants the terrorists in their own back yard!




Another quote:


"As we make these decisions, bear in mind the following fact: Nobody has ever escaped from one of our federal, supermax prisons, which hold hundreds of convicted terrorists."


I guess as President of the United States no one informed him that Gitmo is registered as a supermax prison. Mr. Obama no one has ever escaped from Gitmo either; but some released detainee's went on to kill again!


Mr. Obama. As you know we are up to our eyeballs in dept. In large part due to the 787 billion dollar stimulus plan you signed into law that no one bothered to read(10,000 dead people got a check). I don't know if any one told you but Gitmo cost the American taxpayer 200 million dollars to build. It was built for the sole purpose of keeping these butchers where they belong. What do you suggest we do with this Gitmo facility the US taxpayer just paid 200 million dollars for? A low ball estimate of over 100 million dollars is what it is going to take to bring these dogs to the United States. Your own party voted against funding it for Christ's sake! Money is easy to spend when it's not yours... isn't it?



By the way Mr. Obama. 





 I'm sure you heard about the homegrown terror suspects arrested in NYC. They were going to blow up a temple and shoot down a military plane. All of these guys were in jail on a unrelated charges when they converted to radical Islam. What do you think is going to happen if you introduce 240 Gitmo dogs into our federal prison system??? I'll tell you what it will do. Our federal prisons become a breeding ground for terrorists!






One final note. I noticed you conveniently left out the welfare check any released detainee's will be receiving. Smart move. In this eloquent speech you gave, you blamed Bush for everything. Since your so slippery with the facts you failed to mention why we have not been attacked since 911. There is a reason. Which is it Mr. Obama.... an accident or just a coincidence or maybe waterboarding?

Taliban's Alternative To Waterboarding

Warning:
This video gives new meaning to the word graphic!!!!

(No BS)

We all know Pelosi said she knew nothing about waterboarding. Liberals condemn it. However, no one has ever died from waterboarding.




Now it is time to look at what goes on..... on the other side of the fence.








How do you feel now? Do you feel like throwing up? I was so repulsed I turned it off.
Now image what's going to happen if Gitmo is closed down. Some of these butchers are going to be released into our American society. Your taxes are going to them in the form of a Welfare check!

As sickening as this video is it is a reminder of what animals they truly are.

How comfortable are you going to be with these butchers living next door?

Write your Congressman or Senator now and demand they not be released!

Shocking.....Specter A Democrat!


The shock of a lifetime!!! .........Someone cut me some slack.



I was going to say he is a closet liberal but he is in the closet about as much as Barney Frank!

There are two constants in life:

1. The sun coming up in the morning.

2. Arlen Specter stabbing the Republican party in the back.

Every time the Republican Party needed his vote on a pivotal issue... The Bailout... Illegals getting Social Security... Abortion.... The Ted Kennedy inspired Shamnesty Bill.... to name a few, he always went the other way.


Unequivocally Arlen Specter has told us this....I have no value system. Screw America. I would run in the Nazi party as long as I was re-elected Senator!

I hope the people of PA see this for what it is. A con job!
He is one of the reasons I have been shouting for term limits.

Here is the problem as I see it with Specter on the next go around. Americans are basically stupid, becoming just another twig in the river of hope and change. We allow the "wind" of the media to influence are decisions and follow blindly whatever the "growing trend" is with no research of the candidate. We are so absorbed with are everyday lives that we expect nothing from are politicians. And that's exactly what we get! Why do I say that? Because I could almost guarantee you people like Pelosi, Specter, Frank, and Dodd (all incompetent lying bastards) are going to be re-elected.

A case in point.

Let's take the good people of Minnesota. First they elect Jesse (The Joke) Ventura a wrestler for governor. Now it appears Stewart Smalley (aka Al Franken) is going to be a Senator. Why? Because Donald Duck turned it down.

Oh....I almost forgot. They also elected Keith Ellison , a Minnesota Democrat and the first Muslim ever elected to Congress and sworn in on the Koran.



It gets even better. This woman is running for the Senate in Louisiana. Her name is Stormy Davis. What are her qualifications? She is a porn star! Larry Flint of Hustler magazine is going to be her campaign manager. Hey, I ain't making this stuff up. I'm just trying to keep you.... a breast.... of the situation.



Getting back to Specter. I hope the people of PA see him for what he really is. He's not a Republican or Democrat. He's a son-of-bitch!

READ THIS NOW!...In Case You Forgot














Security Before Politics

By Porter J. Goss
Saturday, April 25, 2009

Followed by an excellent commentary by Ed Kilbane

Since leaving my post as CIA director almost three years ago, I have
remained largely silent on the public stage. I am speaking out now because I
feel our government has crossed the red line between properly protecting our
national security and trying to gain partisan political advantage. We can't
have a secret intelligence service if we keep giving away all the secrets.
Americans have to decide now.

A disturbing epidemic of amnesia seems to be plaguing my former colleagues
on Capitol Hill. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, members of the
committees charged with overseeing our nation's intelligence services had no
higher priority than stopping al-Qaeda. In the fall of 2002, while I was
chairman of the House intelligence committee, senior members of Congress were
briefed on the CIA's "High Value Terrorist Program," including the development
of "enhanced interrogation techniques" and what those techniques were. This
was not a one-time briefing but an ongoing subject with lots of back and
forth between those members and the briefers.

Today, I am slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood
that the techniques on which they were briefed were to actually be
employed; or that specific techniques such as "waterboarding" were never mentioned.
It must be hard for most Americans of common sense to imagine how a member
of Congress can forget being told about the interrogations of Sept. 11
mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. In that case, though, perhaps it is not
amnesia but political expedience.

Let me be clear. It is my recollection that:

-- The chairs and the ranking minority members of the House and Senate
intelligence committees, known as the Gang of Four, were briefed that the CIA
was holding and interrogating high-value terrorists.

-- We understood what the CIA was doing.

-- We gave the CIA our bipartisan support.

-- We gave the CIA funding to carry out its activities.

-- On a bipartisan basis, we asked if the CIA needed more support from
Congress to carry out its mission against al-Qaeda.

I do not recall a single objection from my colleagues. They did not vote
to stop authorizing CIA funding. And for those who now reveal filed
"memorandums for the record" suggesting concern, real concern should have been
expressed immediately -- to the committee chairs, the briefers, the House
speaker or minority leader, the CIA director or the president's national
security adviser -- and not quietly filed away in case the day came when the
political winds shifted. And shifted they have.

Circuses are not new in Washington, and I can see preparations being made
for tents from the Capitol straight down Pennsylvania Avenue. The CIA has
been pulled into the center ring before. The result this time will be the
same: a hollowed-out service of diminished capabilities. After Sept. 11, the
general outcry was, "Why don't we have better overseas capabilities?" I
fear that in the years to come this refrain will be heard again: once a
threat -- or God forbid, another successful attack -- captures our attention and
sends the pendulum swinging back. There is only one person who can shut
down this dangerous show: President Obama.

Unfortunately, much of the damage to our capabilities has already been
done. It is certainly not trust that is fostered when intelligence officers
are told one day "I have your back" only to learn a day later that a knife is
being held to it. After the events of this week, morale at the CIA has
been shaken to its foundation.

We must not forget: Our intelligence allies overseas view our inability to
maintain secrecy as a reason to question our worthiness as a partner.
These allies have been vital in almost every capture of a terrorist.

The suggestion that we are safer now because information about
interrogation techniques is in the public domain conjures up images of unicorns and
fairy dust. We have given our enemy invaluable information about the rules by
which we operate. The terrorists captured by the CIA perfected the act of
beheading innocents using dull knives. Khalid Sheik Mohammed boasted of the
tactic of placing explosives high enough in a building to ensure that
innocents trapped above would die if they tried to escape through windows.
There is
simply no comparison between our professionalism and their brutality.

Our enemies do not subscribe to the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury.
"Name, rank and serial number" does not apply to non-state actors but is,
regrettably, the only question this administration wants us to ask. Instead of
taking risks, our intelligence officers will soon resort to wordsmithing
cables to headquarters while opportunities to neutralize brutal radicals
are lost.

The days of fortress America are gone. We are the world's superpower. We
can sit on our hands or we can become engaged to improve global human
conditions. The bottom line is that we cannot succeed unless we have good
intelligence. Trading security for partisan political popularity will ensure that
our secrets are not secret and that our intelligence is destined to fail
us.

The writer, a Republican, was director of the CIA from September 2004 to
May 2006 and was chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence from 1997 to 2004.




Please take the time to cut and paste this article and email it to your Senators and Congressman with your take on it. Here's mine.


We wholeheartedly agree with the premise of this article by Porter Goss. Please use your influence to put a stop to these political "gotcha games". Go back and look at the pictures of the trade towers, look at the poor people, jumping hand-in-hand from them to their death in order to escape the searing heat and end their misery. Look at the Berg and Pearl beheading video's.
Enhanced interrogation techniques didn't cause this, they prevented more of it.


I guess you can't say it any better then that. Thanks Ed.

The Crucifixon Of George W. Bush



Love him or hate him George Bush kept this country safe after 911. There was not one documented attack. This is irrefutable. I know of two he had thwarted. One at JFK and the other at Fort Dix.
There were others, but you have to look hard, because the media likes to bury it.


Now as a reward for keeping our country safe the Obama administration (with the inducement of Pelosi) wants to bring criminal charges against Bush and his advisers for using harsh interrogation techniques mainly water boarding.


"Were going to go to where the truth takes us" Obama said. Where was that same logic when Geithner and everyone of his appointee's got caught cheating on their taxes?


As I have stated before the Democrats preoccupation with the way these prisoners are treated never fails to fascinate me. Personally, as far as I'm concerned, you could take Khalid Sheik Mohammed and the rest of his cohorts, cut their balls off and shove them down their throats!



This was Pelosi's original statement in the Washington Post

Pelosi Denies Knowing Interrogation Techniques Were Used

By Paul Kane

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) today said congressional leaders were never briefed about the use of an enhanced interrogation practice, rejecting GOP claims that leadership was aware of the controversial tactics by late 2002.

Pelosi said the select few lawmakers who were briefed about handling of detainees from the war on terror, were then forbidden from discussing what they had learned with their colleagues. This produced an environment in which the top lawmakers were told of the existence of legal opinions supporting the rationale for waterboarding detainees, but never told that it was actually being used, according to Pelosi.

"Flat out, they never briefed us that this was happening," she said.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You lying f-ing bitch!


This is the Washington Post article that (to use her term) caught her... in a flat out lie.


In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.

Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.

"The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough," said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange.

Congressional leaders from both parties would later seize on waterboarding as a symbol of the worst excesses of the Bush administration's counterterrorism effort. The CIA last week admitted that videotape of an interrogation of one of the waterboarded detainees was destroyed in 2005 against the advice of Justice Department and White House officials, provoking allegations that its actions were illegal and the destruction was a coverup.

Yet long before "waterboarding" entered the public discourse, the CIA gave key legislative overseers about 30 private briefings, some of which included descriptions of that technique and other harsh interrogation methods, according to interviews with multiple U.S. officials with firsthand knowledge.

With one known exception, no formal objections were raised by the lawmakers briefed about the harsh methods during the two years in which waterboarding was employed, from 2002 to 2003, said Democrats and Republicans with direct knowledge of the matter. The lawmakers who held oversight roles during the period included Pelosi and Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) and John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), as well as Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan).

Individual lawmakers' recollections of the early briefings varied dramatically, but officials present during the meetings described the reaction as mostly quiet acquiescence, if not outright support. "Among those being briefed, there was a pretty full understanding of what the CIA was doing," said Goss, who chaired the House intelligence committee from 1997 to 2004 and then served as CIA director from 2004 to 2006. "And the reaction in the room was not just approval, but encouragement."

Congressional officials say the groups' ability to challenge the practices was hampered by strict rules of secrecy that prohibited them from being able to take notes or consult legal experts or members of their own staffs. And while various officials have described the briefings as detailed and graphic, it is unclear precisely what members were told about waterboarding and how it is conducted. Several officials familiar with the briefings also recalled that the meetings were marked by an atmosphere of deep concern about the possibility of an imminent terrorist attack.

"In fairness, the environment was different then because we were closer to Sept. 11 and people were still in a panic," said one U.S. official present during the early briefings. "But there was no objecting, no hand-wringing. The attitude was, 'We don't care what you do to those guys as long as you get the information you need to protect the American people.' "

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After being given an hour long briefing in 2002 where she and three others were told of the waterboarding and given a tour of the detention facility she now states this.

“Well…But the CIA didn’t tell me they would really use it!"

Remember Clinton.... what does.... is mean? Now we have... what does.... know mean!



This has the same ring of truth and sincerity to it as a guy sitting in a church for 20 years, married by the worthless waste of skin pastor, having your children baptized by that pastor, listening to the sermons of that pastor of inaccurate lies of hate filled rants against America. Then have the balls to claim you knew nothing about it!!!


By the way, I seem to remember a president pointing his finger while lying to 300 million people on national television. Whatever happened to him? Oh..I remember now. He's the one whose wife ran for president after dodging bullets in Bosnia.



This is nothing more then a diversion to keep America's eyes off the real problem. America is broke. In more ways then one!

Minnow Swallowing The Whale

Every time this happens it kills me. I'm talking about the Somali terrorists (the media likes to call "Pirates") taking over a US container ship. Since 2005 there have been dozens of ships from various countries hijacked by the Somali's. It is estimated they have made over $30 million in ransom.




This is the Maersk Alabama. The ship they captured. It is 508 ft long and weighs 30,662 tons. These ships can carry in excess of $100 million in cargo. It is so big you can't get the whole ship in the photo.







These are the five Somali's that hijacked the ship in what appears to be a 20ft runabout. The guy nearest the bow has a RPG straddling his shoulder. The guy in the middle is leaning back, having a beer, expounding on his sexual exploits. The one to his immediate right has a rifle maybe a machine gun. The guy to his right is wondering if the guy in the middle is talking about his girlfriend. The guy at the stern just came along for the ride and is now wondering if this was such a good idea.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Why does this happen? Because all of these ships are unarmed. Combine that with the fact Somalia is a lawless country with no government.To add frosting to the cake according to Wikipedia they get their weapons from Yemen whose population is 99% Muslim. Lets see.... Muslim, terrorists, and guns. Not exactly an unheard of combination!

So what is the world of shipping going to do? Take down the flag of their country of origin and hoist the white flag? Oh....wait a minute..they already did that!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------





The solution. To borrow an over worked line from Scarface. "Let me introduce you to my little friend."

I give you the Vulcan 20mm cannon. It fires 6,200 rounds per minute. A hail of bullets so fierce a mosquito couldn't get through at several thousand yards! Imagine a dozen of these placed around a cargo ship.





This is his big brother. Four of these wouldn't hurt either.




---------------------------------------------------------------------------



This worked out so well for the Somali's I think I'm going to the store and buy a pea shooter and have Fort Knox surrender to me.



Bottom line. Blow these bastards into next week.

The Senator And The Congressman

I got to thinking the other day when Barney Frank, a homosexual, called Justice Scalia a homophobe. I started to think about the Larry Criag scandal.



Mug shot of Craig 2007
http://img.wonkette.com/assets/resources/2007/12/larrypoy.jpg

You remember Larry Craig? He was the Republican Senator from Idaho. I said (was) because he was forced to resign in disgrace after a sting operation in a bathroom incident in Minneoplis when his foot touched a police officer's foot in the stall next to him. There was no sexual act committed.


Craig pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct by signing and mailing a plea petition, dated August 1, 2007, to the Hennepin District Court in Minnesota. He paid $575, including fines and fees.

After the incident men were coming out of the woodwork claiming to have had sex with Craig. Late night talk shows had a field day. I'm not defending Craig. I think he's guilty.

BUT


Hold this thought a minute... He was forced to resign in disgrace...

--------------------------------------------------------

In 1990, The House Ethics Committee recommended Frank be reprimanded because he "reflected discredit upon the House" by using his congressional office to fix 33 of Steve Gobie's parking tickets. Frank confirmed that he paid Gobie for sex, hired him with personal funds as an aide and wrote letters on congressional stationery on his behalf to Virginia probation officials, but Frank said he fired Gobie when he learned that prostitution clients were visiting the apartment.

The investigation into Gobie and Frank's interactions were prompted by Gobie's attempt to cash in on assertions that Frank knew and approved of Gobie's illegal activities in the Frank residence. "Two years [after Frank fired Gobie], Gobie tried unsuccessfully to sell his story to the Washington Post. He then gave the story to the Washington Times for nothing, in hopes of getting a book contract for the male version of "The Mayflower Madam."

Welcome To The Real World



You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

Pelosi Welcoming Illegals


On the evening of March 7th, Nancy Pelosi spoke before a crowd of immigrants and illegal aliens.

Choosing the rights of illegal immigrants over the rights of American citizens, Pelosi informed the crowd that ICE raids were “un-American” and should be stopped immediately.

This is a slap in the face to law enforcement and border patrol agents who are trying to protect our border! This bitch should be run out of town on a rail. What happened to "Defend and protect the Constitution!"


PELOSI TRANSCRIPT (excerpts)

“…I want to join all of you in welcoming my colleague Congressman Gutierrez to San Francisco. As he… (applause) As he said, he’s on a nationwide tour that goes on and on across the country, lobbying for and advocating for comprehensive immigration policy.

And yes a fair policy for everyone to stop the raids. To stop the raids….

…How then could America say it’s ok to send parents of children away? What value system is that? I think it’s un-American. I think it’s un-American…

Who in our country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families?

It must be stopped. It must be stopped.

Gutierrez, (unintelligible) I know San Francisco Organizing Project (unintelligible) has been part of this and St. Peter’s and St. Anthony’s, and so many to make this evening such an important testimony to the need for change….

And all over the country it’s going to said… But, I want to bear witness to, people are turning out with courage and conviction and, and insistence that this stop. There are ways it can stop, by just changing policy by the administration, which I think will happen, but we need comprehensive immigration reform and we need it soon. And we need it soon. And we need it soon….

But for this really to work, in addition to trying to help individual families, we have to have a change in policy and practice and again… can’t say enough; The raids must end. The raids must end.”


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is a statement made by Harry ("The war is lost") Reid in 2007 on the proposed Shamesty Bill defeated by people who really love America.


"This week we are going to complete this legislation and we will hopefully complete the final passage that will strengthen our border security and bring 12 million Undocumented Americans out of the shadows."

Undocumented Americans? Isn't that a oxymoron.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(excerpt from)

Veterans for Secure Borders

The real agenda

Our intentionally unsecured borders and our government's deliberate and unapologetic lack of enforcement of our immigration laws is merely a precursor to a much larger goal - a "New America" in a borderless "North American Union." This New America would replace the traditional self-governing "Old America" for which our founders sacrificed and our soldiers fought and died to preserve.

Democrats...its in their blood.

Mortgage Boy..This piece of crap is up for re-election in 2010


Allow me to add a few comments on this article. Dodd is Senate Banking Committee Chairman. This is the same Chris Dodd that
got a sweetheart deal on his mortgage from this snake
http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2008/US/03/29/countrywide.ceo/art.mozilo.afp.gi.jpg Anthony Mozilo the former CEO of Countrywide. When asked about this (July 2008) Dodd said he would provide full details on his mortgage dealings. When the news broke, the Senator first denied that he sought or expected preferential treatment. He later admitted that he knew he was considered a VIP at the firm but claimed he thought it was "more of a courtesy."

When pressed by the WSJ to produce the papers he said,"he can't find them."
This guy is the
Senate Banking Committee Chairman and he can't find his own mortgage papers???

Instead of being arrested, the snake (Mozilo) left Countrywide with with a severance package of $110 million! In a Time Magazine article... 25 People To Blame For The Financial Crisis... Mozilo was ranked 3rd.

If this bastard is re-elected in 2010 (frankly, he should be removed from office now) the people in Connecticut have only themselves to blame. He has been a fixture there since 1981. Its not an election, its a coronation. Wake Up!




Sen. Dodd Admits Adding Bonus Provision to Stimulus Package

Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said Wednesday the Treasury forced him to add language to the stimulus bill last month that exempted all executive bonuses made before February 11, 2009.

In a dramatic reversal Wednesday, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., confessed to adding language to the stimulus bill last month that exempted all bonuses that bailed-out companies had promised to employees before Feb. 11, 2009.

(Want finger pointing...point it at yourself)


Dodd told FOX News that Treasury officials forced him to make the change.

"As many know, the administration was, among others, not happy with the language. They wanted some modifications to it," he said. "They came to us, our staff, and asked for changes, and the changes at the time did not seem that obnoxious or onerous."

But the provision has become a flash point for criticism amid the controversy over $165 million in bonuses given out by AIG after securing more than $170 billion in federal aid. The language in the stimulus bill wasn't specific to AIG, but some have expressed outrage that it appears to have created a loophole.

Dodd said the argument put forward by Treasury was that a "flood of lawsuits" would come forward if the change was not made.

Dodd said he was unaware of the AIG bonuses at the time the bill was being written back in early February. He also said he has no reason to believe Treasury officials making the argument knew about the AIG bonuses.

When asked how administration officials have this kind of leverage over members of Congress, Dodd said, "The administration has veto power. ... No one suggested a veto to me, I don't want to imply that to you. But certainly that's not an insignificant tool."

On Tuesday, Dodd told FOX News that he didn't add the exemption.

"When the language went to the conference and came back, there was different language," he said then. "I can tell you this much, when my language left the Senate, it did not include it. When it came back, it did."

Dodd still thinks the Treasury can get the bonuses back, despite the inclusion of a date in the stimulus bill, and he said officials are, in fact, using his very language to claw back the money.

"There is language after that date that says explicitly that the Treasury has the right to modify, reaching back, those bonuses, compensations, if it's inconsistent with the TARP legislation or contrary to the public interest," he said.

"In fact, it's that phrase that the administration is relying on this evening as a means by which they can reach back and maybe get these bonuses back," he said.

Still, Dodd has his enemies. The Senate Republican re-election campaign quickly shot out a statement on the Dodd reversal, as he is a prime target in the 2010 midterm elections and is facing a Republican opponent who, in one poll, is in a statistical tie with him.

"Senator Dodd's reversal on this issue is both astonishing and alarming," the National Republican Senatorial Campaign said in a written statement. "Contrary to his statements and denials over the last 24 hours, Senator Dodd has now admitted that he and his staff did in fact change the language in the stimulus bill to include a loophole for AIG executive bonuses."

The group added that Dodd had "misled voters and equivocated on his statements."

Retention Bonuses

First of all the salutation is wrong. There is nothing "honorable" about Barney Frank but that's a story for another day.

Secondly, why does Cuomo have to inform Frank whats going on? Isn't it Frank's job to know! After all, he is the chairman of the House Financial Committee, which oversees the entire financial services industry, including the securities, insurance, banking, and housing industries.

Liddy (CEO) said they had to pay a "retention" bonus to keep the best and brightest people with the company. Out of 73, 11 have already left the company. One guy who has already left according to Cuomo got 4.6 million! (By the way, these were the same people that invested in credit default swaps and CDO's, something that Warren Buffet said, "Was the black hole of investments." )

This is the same kind of toxic crap that brought Lehman Brothers down. Speaking of Lehman Brothers, they are done, gone, and have no one to blame but themselves. They were in existence for 150 years. Now they're gone. No one cares. The sky didn't come crashing down. It didn't cost billions in taxpayer dollars. Why? Because the free market system works!

The bottom line on AIG comes down to a multiple choice. Select A or B.


Sept 2008
A. AIG a major player once worth billions goes belly up because of greed and poor business decisions. Thousands loose their jobs.

Sept 2009
B. After the US taxpayer paid approximately $180 billion, AIG a major player once worth billions goes belly up because of greed and poor business decisions. Thousands loose their jobs.

For Once... We Agree (with reservations)


American Tax Dollars At Work




AIG Bombshells: $1.2B in Bonuses, Over $100B Paid to Goldman, Other Banks

Posted Mar 16, 2009 11:34am EDT by Aaron Task in Newsmakers, Banking

Updated from 11:34 a.m. ET

Update: President Obama has instructed Tim Geithner to "pursue every legal avenue to block these bonuses" planned for AIG executive. It's "hard to warrant any bonuses" at AIG and there is no way to "justify this outrage," the President said midday at the White House. After tripping over his words at one point, the President said, "I am choked up with anger," a familiar feeling in America today.

Earlier: Every time AIG is in the news, it's almost guaranteed to provoke a gag reaction from American taxpayers and policymakers. This weekend was no different as two stories of bailout abuse and outrageous behavior came to light:

First, AIG was lambasted as disclosures of its $1.2 billion bonus pool came to light. About $450 million of the bonuses were planned for employees of its financial services unit, the rogue hedge fund insider the insurer, which lost $40.5 billion later year. The Wall Street Journal reports at least seven individuals at that unit were due bonus payments of $3 million each.

AIG CEO Edward Liddy says "the firm's hands are tied" because those bonus payments are "contractual commitments"; apparently, both he and regulators fear the fallout of trying to abrogate contracts, which may be legally binding but were signed before AIG became a ward of the state.

Second, in part to quell the outrage over the bonus revelations - which apparently only came to light because a $165 million payment was due on Sunday - AIG released the names of its counterparties who, thus far, have received at least $90 billion of the $173 billion of government funds the firm has received in what amounts to a backdoor bailout of Wall Street firms, banks and foreign institutions. (Reports vary but Bloomberg says the counterparties got $105 billion of AIG bailout funds.)

Along with Merrill Lynch, Bank of America and Citigroup, the prime beneficiaries of the AIG bailout bonanza include European banking giants Societe Generale, Deustche Bank and Barclays.

But at $12.9 billion to date, Goldman Sachs is at the top of the list AIG bailout beneficiaries. This only reinforces the perception the AIG bailout was really a bailout of Hank Paulson's former firm. And, by the way, AIG's Liddy had to resign from Goldman's board in order to take the AIG job last fall.

Are you outraged yet? The good news is you're not alone: Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, Larry Summers, NY Fed President (and ex-Goldman economist) William Dudley, Rep. Barney Frank, Sen. Bob Corker and others have each expressed anger and outrage over the AIG bonuses and payments to counterparties.

The real question is what they, and President Barack Obama, are going to do about it? The really scary thing is there's no end in sight to these AIG outrages, unless we make a major change of course - pronto.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AIG and Bernie Madoff are the same. Only difference is AIG's not trying to cover it up.

How could anyone in their right mind think they should be rewarded for driving a once prosperous company into the ground???

How many more outrageous events have to occur at AIG before Edward Lilly is fired?

Like I said time and time again who is watching where the money is going. Would they even be getting a bonus if suckers like us didn't give them billions?

Everybody is outraged. I wonder? Frank, Schumer, and Dodd are using this as a deflection to keep our attention off the Stimulus Bill. These executives should be shot but this is small potatoes compared to the wasteful spending of billions on pork in the Stimulus Bill!

By the way, Barney Frank should be the last one to say anything. If a statue could be sculpted with a blend of incompetency and dishonesty it would be in the likeness of Barney Frank.

Pet Sematary





Sematary instead of cemetery? Remember this disgusting book. Later to be made into a movie. Somehow I was conned into going to the movie. Honestly I almost walked out. I have walked out of movies before, and should have this time.

However, this movie will serve some purpose, and that is to make a point.

To put this garbage in context a couple with two young kids living in Maine has a cat that is run over in front of their home. On their next door neighbor's advice they take the cat to the pet sematary to bury it. The next afternoon the cat returns home. It smells of death, with an unearthly look and weird eyes. Birds and mice are torn apart, not to eat, but for shear pleasure.

A while later the guy's son is run over by a Mack truck. He burys his son at the pet sematary.
Shortly thereafter the kid returns home, possessing all the skills of a demon, he now resembles "Chucky". First he kills the next door neighbor. Then his own mother.

Finally realizing what a monster he is the father is forced to kill his son. He then gets the bright idea to bury his wife (the son had just killed) in the pet sematary. Even if you didn't see the movie, I bet you could guess the result.

OK. Three days later she taps him on the shoulder and says........."Darling."

If you do the same thing, you get the same results!




If there is a moral in this story I guess it would be:

  1. Don't mess with mother nature....or
  2. Don't interrupt the Yin and Yang of the natural world...or
  3. My favorite. Don't defy the will of God by trying to change the universal progression of... death follows life.

Simply put. Some things are better off dead.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are probably wondering.... what the hell does this have to do with politics!

Two words. Free market.

Our government has become the "Pet Sematary."

First Bush and now BHO is the caretaker of the "Pet Semetary." They are interfering with the natural progression of the free market system. You cannot artificially keep something alive that desperately needs to die. Banks that have made poor business decisions (if you had a pulse you got a mortgage) will be absorbed by banks following sound business practices. Our democracy is set up with laws to provide for this contingency. Its called bankruptcy.

Lets take the case of insurance giant AIG. Just recently they announced they lost 62B last quarter. The biggest lost of any company in the history of the world! So the "Pet Sematary" sent them another 30B. Last time I checked a share of stock in AIG was worth 43 cents; their market cap was 1.16B. Essentially that is net worth of the company. . All told, the taxpayer (so far) is on the hook to AIG for a staggering 180B!!!

I hate like hell to see the car companies go out of business. The fact of the matter is:

GM said it would need up to $30 billion from the U.S. Treasury to continue operating. GM has already received $13.4 billion.

Chrysler wants $2 billion more on top of the $4 billion it has already received and the $3 billion it is expecting from Washington.

To its credit Ford has not asked for loans. Makes me want to buy a Ford!

Here again with the big three bankruptcy is in order. File for it, restructure, and get rid of the UAW. Maybe a merger is also on the agenda.
The big three have been losing market share since 1962. GM's market capitalization is smaller than Harley-Davidson's. In 1962 half the cars sold in America were made by GM. Now its market share is roughly 25 percent. In 1999 the Big Three -- GM, Ford, Chrysler -- had a 71 percent market share. Their share is now 58 percent and falling. How will throwing billions of dollars at it with the same management effect a different outcome?

But wait. The "Pet Sematary" will tell you, "They're to big to fail!" No there not. They're to inept to succeed. The answer is file bankruptcy, restructure, or merge. The only true test of achievement is result. You can't turn a jackass into a race horse no matter how much money you throw at it.

Another word the "Pet Sematary" likes to throw around is transparency. What exactly is that? Its the full, accurate, and timely disclosure of information. The other "Chucky." (rhymes with Schumer) said this recently, "Yeah, there's a lot of pork in the bill... but so what the American people don't care!" Well I must say. He is transparent. Not only is he is going to shove it up our ass, but he's going to rub our nose in it too!

Shovel-ready is another catch word they like to use. You better have one ready to dig your way out of debt because Pelosi is already talking about... Stimulus II... The Sequel.


When you're in your car and its 96 degrees and a dead animal is lying on the side of the road you can barely stand the smell. A month later you drive by the exact same spot and you can't smell or see anything.

With the stroke of a pen we have put a scar on future generations of Americans by paying 787Billion to clean up a stink that the free market system would have naturally taken care of all by itself.

If only we would have given it a chance to work.
