On March 25th, 2009, the New York Times reported that the Taliban gets “direct support from operatives in Pakistan’s military intelligence agency” [...] ACCORDING TO AMERICAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS (emphasis mine).
According to President Obama, these revelations “aren’t new.” As it turns out, he’s right.
Tomorrow, 2 busloads of 9/11 First Responders are going down to Washington D.C. to make sure those who need to hear what they have to say, hear them loud and clear. Rep. Carolyn Maloney and others are having a committee hearing on the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. Please, today and tomorrow, call your Reps, and tell them that you support this bill. As the New York Daily news reports, this bill “will offer medical help and compensation for everyone affected by the attacks on the World Trade Center.”

On 9/11 the Bush administration declared a State of Emergency (SOE), which was formally proclaimed on September 14, 2001, and extended by Bush repeatedly thereafter, most recently on August 28, 2008. Under cover of this SOE, Bush secretly enacted many extreme measures, ranging from suspension of habeas corpus to preparations for martial law in America; all these were undertaken as part of secret so-called “Continuity of Government” (COG) procedures associated with the SOE, and first instituted on 9/11.
Congress has been derelict in it’s Constitutional duty to review this state of emergency; contact your Senators and Representative and demand they uphold the rule of law; each House of Congress must meet every 6 months to consider a vote on whether the emergency shall be terminated.

An article was published in the November 5, 1999 New York Times regarding the passage of “Gramm-Leach-Bliley” Act; it overturned the Glass-Steagal Act and opened the door for banks and securities companies to engage in the massive orgy of speculation and greed that led to the current economic meltdown. Clinton signed it into law, and most Republicans and Democrats in Congress, and the politically-controlled SEC, OTS, OCC, FBI, Fed Reserve and Treasury, did nothing to stop the criminal corporate profiteers from raping the American consumer and blowing up the economy. Even now, Obama’s administration is aiding and abetting profiteering from the current crisis, by the very same people who profited from rigged markets that led to the crisis.

Can someone explain to me how 5 suspected members of Al Qaeda (although there is no question regarding KSM) suddenly got their own PR machine from inside Gitmo and at the hands of a military judge, not to mention getting a world stage through which to frighten Americans some more? And the media? Well, they are too well versed in stupid to ask any sensible questions:
