Mainstream Media Refuses to Disclose that Independent Pundits Are Actually Lobbyists Published on 02-25-2010 http://blacklistednews.com/news-7539-0-5-5--.html Source: Washington's Blog As reporter Sebastian Jones points out (see this and this ), former Congressman Richard Gephardt runs a lobbying firm representing giant insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Retired General Barry McCaffrey sits on the board of a giant defense contractor, DynCorp, and lobbies for war. And many other pundits interviewed by the mainstream news are really high-level lobbyists for giant companies, pushing their agendas. And yet they are treated as independent experts by the media. Indeed - 2 years after Jones asked the large networks why they don't have a disclaimer on the screen beneath the pundits' names saying who they really work for - nothing has been done. The corporate media are acting like virtual escort services for the powerful, selling access - for a price - to viewers and to powerful government officials, instead of actually investigating and reporting on what those in power are actually doing.

[cia-drugs] How Obama Sold Out Paul Volker
http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=78f=1414t=5658673 How Obama Sold Out Paul Volker Charlie Gasparino explains how Obama's investment banker friends killed Paul Volker's reform plan that Obama proudly announced last month. The fixers always seem to win in Washington -- one of the best arguments I know for limited government.. The president needed the gravitas of the former Fed chairman to sell his bank reform to Wall Street. But when the big banks didn't buy it, Obama sold him out. Barack Obama owes Paul Volcker a lot, but he apparently owes the fat cats on Wall Street even more. That's the only reasonable conclusion that can be made from the president's timely and, in some ways, bizarre about-face on the former Fed chairman's plans to reform the financial industry and prevent another meltdown. As first reported by the New York Post, Volcker's bank-reform idea-the one trotted out by the president with Volcker standing at his side just hours after Republican Scott Brown won Teddy Kennedy's seat and vowed to help crush Obama's economic agenda-has been nixed in favor of a watered-down version that bank chiefs like J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and other Obama supporters on Wall Street are advocating. I am told that both Larry Summers and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, good friends of Wall Street, considered the 82-year-old Volcker little more than a crank who should be ignored. And so he was. The Volcker Plan, as I have reported in The Daily Beast, certainly had its shortcomings; its main emphasis was to stop banks that are deemed Too Big to Fail from engaging in so-called proprietary trading, or engaging in risky trades with their own capital-the theory being that taxpayers would again have to bail out the banks if their bets turned sour, as they did in 2007 and 2008. The problem with the proposal was that proprietary trading wasn't the major reason for all those big losses that led to the financial collapse and the taxpayer bailouts. Yet for all its drawbacks, at least the Volcker Plan was the start of a conversation about whether taxpayers should be forced to subsidize the risk-taking activities of Wall Street. That debate, as we know now, is over. Sources tell me a coalition of Wall Street heavyweights from Dimon to people like Larry Fink, the head of money-management powerhouse BlackRock-Obama supporters all-made their opposition to the plan well-known to the administration. The message was clear: Wall Street, which helped elect Barack Obama with an unprecedented support for a Democratic presidential candidate (Goldman Sachs was the second largest contributor to the president's campaign), was ready to start backing the opposition of the so-called Volcker Rule. The bottom line: Even as Main Street struggles with severe unemployment, Wall Street still wants its billions in bonuses. And with that, Volcker, one of the nation's great economists, was thrown under the bus. Of course, the administration is still pushing for reform of the banking system to prevent another meltdown, but by all accounts, the measures floated so far will do nothing more than force the firms to hold a little more capital if they want to roll the dice in the markets. The main thrust of what Volcker wanted to do and needs to be done-prevent the American taxpayer from ever again having to subsidized banks' risk taking-appears nowhere to be found. Of course, you don't have to be a political junkie to understand why the president did a 180 on Volcker and his plan; already, Wall Street has begun to hedge its bets by supporting some Republicans, and it isn't a good thing having someone as powerful as Jamie Dimon, a lifelong Democrat and Obama supporter, against you. (People close to Dimon say while he still supports the president, he's also angered by some of his agenda.) Even so, there was something particularly smarmy about how the former Fed chairman was used. Volcker's greatest achievement was defeating an economic calamity known as stagflation-the combination of high unemployment and high inflation-that scorched the American economy in the late 1970s, and threatened the country's status as the world's pre-eminent superpower. Volcker left the Fed in the mid-1980s and since then has been sounding the alarm bells on all those financial innovations that blew up in 2008 and still haunt the banking system. He hated one of the greatest of these innovations: the creation of the financial supermarket model of banking that combined risk-taking trading activities with federally insured deposits. If Volcker had his way, there would have been no Citigroup, one of the most costly of the bailed-out banks, and we would have been all better off for it. In 2007, Volcker became an early supporter of then-candidate Obama. I am told Volcker believed Obama had the temperament to tackle the massive spending in
[cia-drugs] Afghanistan's thriving opium trade
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/24/AR2010022404914_pf.html Officials puzzle over millions of dollars leaving Afghanistan by plane for Dubai By Andrew Higgins Washington Post Foreign Service Thursday, February 25, 2010; A10 KABUL -- A blizzard of bank notes is flying out of Afghanistan -- often in full view of customs officers at the Kabul airport -- as part of a cash exodus that is confounding U.S. officials and raising concerns about the money's origin. The cash, estimated to total well over $1 billion a year, flows mostly to the Persian Gulf emirate of Dubai, where many wealthy Afghans now park their families and funds, according to U.S. and Afghan officials. So long as departing cash is declared at the airport here, its transfer is legal. But at a time when the United States and its allies are spending billions of dollars to prop up the fragile government of President Hamid Karzai, the volume of the outflow has stirred concerns that funds have been diverted from aid. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, for its part, is trying to figure out whether some of the money comes from Afghanistan's thriving opium trade. And officials in neighboring Pakistan think that at least some of the cash leaving Kabul has been smuggled overland from Pakistan. All this money magically appears from nowhere, said a U.S. official who monitors Afghanistan's growing role as a hub for cash transfers to Dubai, which has six flights a day to and from Kabul. Meanwhile, the United States is stepping up efforts to stop money flow in the other direction -- into Afghanistan and Pakistan in support of al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Senior Treasury Department officials visited Kabul this month to discuss the cash flows and other issues relating to this country's infant, often chaotic financial sector. Tracking Afghan exchanges has long been made difficult by the widespread use of traditional money-moving outfits, known as hawalas, which keep few records. The Afghan central bank, supported by U.S. Treasury advisers, is trying to get a grip on them by licensing their operations. In the meantime, the money continues to flow. Cash declaration forms filed at Kabul International Airport and reviewed by The Washington Post show that Afghan passengers took more than $180 million to Dubai during a two-month period starting in July. If that rate held for the entire year, the amount of cash that left Afghanistan in 2009 would have far exceeded the country's annual tax and other domestic revenue of about $875 million. The declaration forms highlight the prominent and often opaque role played by hawalas. Asked to identify the source of funds in forms issued by the Afghan central bank, cash couriers frequently put down the name of the same Kabul hawala, an outfit called New Ansari Exchange. Early last month, Afghan police and intelligence officers raided New Ansari's office in Kabul's bazaar district, carting away documents and computers, said Afghan bankers familiar with the operation. U.S. officials declined to comment on what prompted the raid. New Ansari Exchange, which is affiliated with a licensed Afghan bank, closed for a day or so but was soon up and running again. The total volume of departing cash is almost certainly much higher than the declared amount. A Chinese man, for instance, was arrested recently at the Kabul airport carrying 800,000 undeclared euros (about $1.1 million). Cash also can be moved easily through a VIP section at the airport, from which Afghan officials generally leave without being searched. American officials said that they have repeatedly raised the issue of special treatment for VIPs at the Kabul airport with the Afghan government but that they have made no headway. One U.S. official said he had been told by a senior Dubai police officer that an Afghan diplomat flew into the emirate's airport last year with more than $2 million worth of euros in undeclared cash. The Afghan consul general in Dubai, Haji Rashoudin Mohammadi, said in a telephone interview that he was not aware of any such incident. The high volume of cash passing through Kabul's airport first came to light last summer when British company Global Strategies Group, which has an airport security contract, started filing reports on the money transfers at the request of Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security, the domestic intelligence agency. The country's notoriously corrupt police force, however, complained about this arrangement, and Global stopped its reporting in September, according to someone familiar with the matter. Afghan bankers interviewed in Kabul said that much of the money that does get declared belongs to traders who want to buy goods in Dubai but want to avoid the fees, delays and paperwork that result from conventional wire transfers. The cash flown out of Kabul includes a wide range of foreign currencies. Most is in U.S.

We are looking into a number of questions of Goldman Sachs' derivative arrangements with Greece, Bernanke said in testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. The European Union has demanded that the Greek government provide details of how it used currency swaps and other instruments. The New York Times reported that Greece in 2001 had borrowed billions, with the aid of Goldman Sachs /quotes/comstock/13*!gs/quotes/nls/gs (GS 156.36, -0.08, -0.05%) in a deal hidden from public view because it was treated as a currency trade rather than a loan. Bernanke also said the Fed was looking into trading of credit default swaps that allow financial firms and investors to bet that Greece will default on its debt. Bernanke said this trading was counter-productive and under review by the Fed and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Where was the FBI kid? That's the last mystery for me. We almost had a Columbine here. A 12-year-old brought a bag of rifles and shotguns to school. He rode with his mother, who worked at the school.

Re: ...for a week, and arrested a carload of muslims in Chesapeake(I think) after they laundered their Boston car in Va Beach on their way to FL : Yes, in Chesapeake, there was something there covered up. Virginia Pilot covered it and it disappeared. But what do we do about Cassius? And the group? The real leadership must simply go along with Cassius and Brutus and the others of the senate league. Or get whacked. Bodies of Caesars will pile to the Nile til gunboats of peasants get dressed up in style. In a more serious tone: Sites like this and alternate media have begun to bring out horrors that were considered standard but not public. Public is still in tv trance. Brutus types and Cassius types are also still in a quandary. What can be done? Revolutions of all types set history back. This is a slow plod to change. Alas, it will pass, but boils on the ass.

FBI, (oddly), did not see a conflict of interest in this Yes, that's the last Columbine mystery I'm interested in, if I can have the NATO officer MK tour aspect before that. Dad wrote the trenchcoat manual, son made the video; no conflict there that I can see. Just plain old oligarchy mazzini gangers shaking us down every which way. The bully had also graduated the year before, so maybe bullying was not the reason why. Or if it was, the script was written the year before and the media kept to it!? The thing about the Fuselier kid graduating the year before is that his whereabouts still ought to be accounted for, like GHWB 11-22-63. The internet rumor I heard is that his whereabouts are unaccounted for, but, they initially would be, until questions were asked and...what?

The latest [Blackwater] victim has been a university professor who was shot dead on Monday as he drove home.

[cia-drugs] The Road to Armageddon
The Road to Armageddon Paul Craig Roberts February 25, 2010 The Washington Times is a newspaper that looks with favor upon the Bush/Cheney/Obama/neocon wars of aggression in the Middle East and favors making terrorists pay for 9/11. Therefore, I was surprised to learn on February 24 that the most popular story on the paper's website for the past three days was the Inside the Beltway report, Explosive News, about the 31 press conferences in cities in the US and abroad on February 19 held by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, an organization of professionals which now has 1,000 members. I was even more surprised that the news report treated the press conference seriously. How did three World Trade Center skyscrapers suddenly disintegrate into fine dust? How did massive steel beams in three skyscrapers suddenly fail as a result of short-lived, isolated, and low temperature fires? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7, reports the Washington Times. The paper reports that the architects and engineers have concluded that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Institute of Standards and Technology provided insufficient, contradictory and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers' destruction and are calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials. The newspaper reports that Richard Gage, the spokesperson for the architects and engineers said: Government officials will be notified that 'Misprision of Treason,' U.S. Code 18 (Sec. 2382) is a serious federal offense, which requires those with evidence of treason to act. The implications are enormous and may have profound impact on the forthcoming Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial. There is now an organization, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth. At the main press conference in San Francisco, Eric Lawyer,the head of that organization, announced the firefighters' support for the architects and engineers' demands. He reported that no forensic investigation was made of the fires that are alleged to have destroyed the three buildings and that this failure constitutes a crime. Mandated procedures were not followed, and instead of being preserved and investigated, the crime scene was destroyed. He also reported that there are more than one hundred first responders who heard and experienced explosions and that there is radio, audio and video evidence of explosions. Also at the press conference, physicist Steven Jones presented the evidence of nano-thermite in the residue of the WTC buildings found by an international panel of scientists led by University of Copenhagen nano-chemist Professor Niels Harrit. Nano-thermite is a high-tech explosive/pyrotechnic capable of instantly melting steel girders. Before we yell conspiracy theory, we should be aware that the architects, engineers, firefighters, and scientists offer no theory. They provide evidence that challenges the official theory. This evidence is not going to go away. (ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW) If expressing doubts or reservations about the official story in the 9/11 Commission Report makes a person a conspiracy theory kook, then we have to include both co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission and the Commission's legal counsel, all of whom have written books in which they clearly state that they were lied to by government officials when they conducted their investigation, or, rather, when they presided over the investigation conducted by executive director Philip Zelikow, a member of President George W. Bush's transition team and Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and a co-author of Bush Secretary of State Condi Mushroom Cloud Rice. There will always be Americans who will believe whatever the government tells them no matter how many times they know the government has lied to them. Despite expensive wars that threaten Social Security and Medicare, wars based on non-existent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, non-existent Saddam Hussein connections to al Qaida, non-existent Afghan participation in the 9/11 attacks, and the non-existent Iranian nukes that are being hyped as the reason for the next American war of aggression in the Middle East, more than half of the U.S. population still believes the fantastic story that the government has told them about 9/11, a Muslim conspiracy that outwitted the entire Western world. Moreover, it doesn't matter to these Americans how often the government changes its story. For example, Americans first heard of Osama bin Laden because the Bush regime pinned the 9/11 attacks on him. Over the years video after video was served up to the gullible American public of bin Laden's pronouncements. Experts dismissed the videos as fakes, but Americans remained their gullible selves. Then suddenly last year a new 9/11 mastermind emerged to take bin
