I’ve said it over and over again: follow the money. Its too profitable to make it legal.
Obama’s magical ascendance to power, fame and fortune would have been an impossibility had he been arrested for his confessed weed smoking (intercepting) and his “blow”.

… to understand that the official version simply makes no sense.
The International Translations Team of AE911Truth would like people all over the world to know about the evidence of explosive demolition of the 3 high-rises on September 11th 2001.
I happen to be an engineer, but I knew that these buildings “blew up” and didn’t “fall down”. It doesn’t take a brainiac to figure that out. But it does take a moron to believe anything our government tells us.

April 16, 2011 – The General Services Administration inspector general said Monday that he’s investigating possible bribery and kickbacks in the agency, as a central figure in the spending scandal asserted his right to remain silent at a congressional hearing. (April 16)
Of course the entire government cabal has been playing all of us for fools. Its no secret that some of the better paying jobs for schlobs like me would be in some government office. It is also no secret that they use and abuse privilege, not to mention POWER at every opportunity.
What is a bit different is the fact that they are willing to discuss their criminal abuses so openly in emails and readily admit that (so it seems) they are about to be ended. Of course, please do not think for a second that this will end all of the abuses, for anyone keeping tally would understand that most of the Congress is on the take and use and abuse our tax dollar at every possible opportunity, themselves.
More than likely, they know that we (poor folk) are about to catch on and insist something be done. So, they need a scapegoat. And why not Jeffry and the entire GSA? I’m sure there is some open door ready for his corrupt ass, just like all the criminals that “seem” like they are holding accountability hearings, yet they would NEVER address the real issues like the Federal Reserve, Central Banking and the fact that most of their own are corrupt as any three card Monte con man.
Issa is very concerned about Obama’s administration’s spending and abuse. But, if he REALLY wanted to do something, he would be all over that $2TRILLION dollars that disappeared on Sept 10, 2001. I’m sure there is plenty of other monies that have disappeared without even a snort from these men”looking for answers”.

Just want to share this: I just received my 1,000,000th hit on this blog. This is our 2,495th post. I started this in Nov of 2007.
Thank You For Putting Up With Us!
My biggest hitter ever was around 7,000 hits. But for some reason, this post from Easter 2009 is getting a lot of views this week. Maybe its the dead bunny picture. Maybe its me calling out Benny Hinn for his inability to heal his comb-over. Or, just maybe it holds some credence with readers.
Nonetheless, I want to share it again for those who never saw it. But before so, let me start with this bucket of bullshit:
Can you imagine any other maniac who could sit there and read a teleprompter speech so full of lies and distortions and STILL Americans swoon when he says such crap? If being a “Christian” means being anything like this monster, sorry, you can keep it.
My wife is in the kitchen early this morning putting little chocolate treats in plastic eggs for our 4 year old, who has already hunted Easter Eggs twice this week (once at pre-school and again yesterday at a local church that invited us to be a part of the festivities).
I don’t enter church buildings very often any more, for a lot of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that I dislike being a hypocrite, so being a “Easter Sunday” church goer is something that I simply cannot be. Its all or nothing with me and the truth is that I cannot find anything resembling what the Christ taught in any of the churches or from the leadership of those churches. It is essentially mini man-made kingdoms who grab some little tag to use as their pull. As Saul/Paul noted, “What? Is Christ divided?”
Apparently so, into many hundreds, if not thousands, of sects and cults. Divided? Its a confetti at this point.
There were about 25 kids at this event (small church) and they put out over 600 eggs (my 4 year old found 53, which put her in second place to some little punk who had help from his parents)… cheating bastards… (I kid). Now, my daughter has this idea that the Easter bunny is Santa Claus Lite and my wife is stuffing even more chocolate into eggs… wtf?
Anyway, so right before the “egg hunt”, there was this little ole lady who took it upon herself to explain to all these children the significance of the egg hunt and bunnies on this occasion supposedly set up to recognize and celebrate a freaking torture/murder.
“Now this egg represents a new beginning”… “it can be dead or it can be a live chicken”… “When I was a little girl” (tears start falling), “my mother and daddy would take us to church and we would hunt real eggs that were decorated and then we ate them.”
WTF??????
I glanced around, looking at the faces of the kids and it was just like driving on the Natchez Trace at night (more deer in the headlights than you would ever imagine possible).
I could imagine them saying in their head’s, “Will you just shut up and let’s go outside.”
I am not dogging their beliefs, but it was clear that the basic agenda was to recruit BuelahLady and I to attend the church. Somehow, they got wind that we used to be leaders in a Methodist church (I actually was the Music Director and Associate pastor… yeah, whatever). In one of those “God things”, their Music Leader had recently left the church to expand her horizons at another church (they had a really keen choir, as it was told). So, basically, God provided a miracle, if we would just come to their church and take over some responsibilities that God gave us “gifts” to do and that we shouldn’t waste them… blah, blah, blah.
But the kicker was the pastor, who came up to me with this little sly, shit-eating grin and said, “You should come to the Easter service I’m preaching tomorrow. The sermon name is ‘Its time for the church to get nekkid’.” He then laughed and explained that he found this one obscure verse in Mark (but couldn’t remember Chapter, nor verse, which I considered strange after his little story).
He said, “I have never heard anyone preach on this verse”.
I said, “I have some teachings that I could share with you that I bet you never heard before.”
I could hear the buzz in his ears as his mind decided that my sentence was unworthy of attention and started right back where he left off.
Look, anyone can worship or go to church or whatever floats your boat. But, there is not a single religious leader in the world that I consider better than myself, in any way or circumstance. I refuse to put The Pope, Mike Huckabee, or even Mohammad himself on any pedestal, when their very followers are crazy f*ckers who betray the teachings of the ones they claim to represent.
I mean really, if Benny Hinn has all those healing powers, why in the hell doesn’t he fix that comb-over? At the very least, that rug needs to be “slain in the spirit”.
Sorry, that is just the way I am.
So, Happy Easter, but beware of the cute little bunnies. I have a niece who lost the tip of her finger to one of these vile beasts (true story).
However, I would be remiss if I didn’t explain that these creatures do taste wonderful in chocolate…

Arizona legislature has concocted a new law waiting to be signed by the governor of that state. Jonathon Turley writes about it here.
In one of the most sweeping attacks on free speech in America, the Arizona legislature has passed a draconian bill that would criminalize speech on the Internet (“any electronic or digital device”) that prosecutors consider “obscene, lewd or profane language or . . . suggest[ing] a lewd or lascivious act if done with intent to ‘annoy,’ ‘offend,’ ‘harass’ or ‘terrify.’” The law is largely undefined and is in my view facially unconstitutional. The law would drive a stake in the heart of free speech. Yet, people like Bill Clinton have been calling for such a crackdown on Internet speech for years.
Of course, on its face anyone knows that such a law is unconstitutional and ready for abuse. But I am not surprised that it begins in Arizona nor will it surprise me that it will spread like wildfire across the USA. The MSM is losing its readership/viewers to the internet and they won’t die willingly or without a fight. Nor will the politicians that take advantage of the presstitute media be willing to fight against such a stupid, unconstitutional law. Nor will the country’s savior law expert POTUS, especially when he says stupid crap like this:
The question I ask myself is, “Is that what I do here“? Is that last paragraph an example of what could be deemed offensive or annoying?
I am sure some people get offended and annoyed by my rants, just like someone asleep might be initially annoyed or offended that I wake them up from their slumber to tell them their house is on fire and they will die if they don’t wake up. Sometimes, it seems evident, that one MUST annoy and offend to get someone’s attention. If you haven’t figured it out yet, that is precisely what the BuelahMan persona is all about. People that know me (like Dr Doug and a few others) know that in my real life, I seldom resemble BuelahMan or interact the way he does. BuelahMan is me on steroids, so to speak.
If warning people I care about, or even my fellow Americans whom I do not know personally, about the pending doom we are facing (many of us are already right smack-dab in the middle of it as I write this) is terrifying, that is not my intent. Is it harassment to continually point out the thievery, lies and shenanigans that out government conducts? Is it a bad thing that I prod people in a horrible financial situation (like what my family and I are currently experiencing) to grow their own food? Speaking of which, I am right in the middle of preparing my second garden spot for okra, tomatoes, squash. Also note the two old swing sets that I will have hanging plants on. A third spot is an old flower garden I am tearing down/cleaning up to plant miscellaneous (onions, etc).
I basically practice what I preach.
I am also scouting for deer and turkey to be prepared for next season’s hunting (I plan on building a couple of tree stands/hunting boxes at the prime locations), so I can put meat in the freezer. I am also preparing my fishing tackle for catching food, as well, and will be fishing very soon (hopefully this weekend).
The only people that I ‘annoy’, ‘offend’, ‘harass’ or ‘terrify’ are the ones who are ripping me and my fellow countrymen off. The ones who are intent on destroying the Constitution I swore to uphold (apparently I meant it and they did not). Its the same with every blogger, video producer, or ranter (like me) that holds these criminals to account. We scare the hell out of them and they must pull a stunt like this to stop the truth from being told. Expect it. Its their last recourse.
Now, as you can see in my new garden spot, I have raking to do to get the rest of the sod out, pots to hang up on swing sets and a small garden to finish so I can plant onions, carrots, etc. What I haven’t done yet is hang my gutters along the fence top posts for my herb gardens (I’ll put up around 50 – 75 feet of gutter for this purpose).
If you have the wherewithal, the strength and place, you should do so, as well. You will need it this year more than any other. And don’t be fooled by that article, its not just the Middle Eastern problems or fuel prices. Inflation is hitting us squarely due to the unimaginable amount of bailouts, money printing and thievery going on right in front of us. Things will only get worse.

Dublinmick shared this little bit of information from the AtlanteanConspiracy blog with me and honestly I don’t know what the truth is about the theory. If all the connections are true, then we have two possible scenarios.
1: is that all the 44 POTUS’s are related or have family lineage connected to various royal families throughout time (which seems amazingly impossible to me)
-or-
2: anyone, if they look hard enough will find they, too, have lineage back to these same royal families.
Did you know all 44 U.S. presidents have carried European royal bloodlines into office? 34 have been genetic descendants from just one person, Charlemagne, the brutal eighth century King of the Franks. 19 of them directly descended from King Edward III of England. In fact, the presidential candidate with the most royal genes has won every single American election.
According to the information link above, even the opposition party will have a royal descendant run against the royal descendant office holder. It is supposedly a shoo in. Also note that it is rumored that Bush, Cheney and Obama share royal lineage, as did Clinton and Dole. It would also explain why Obama and Osama looks so much alike, since Osama is cousins with the Queen of England (and too is Obama). Very weird stuff, but I am not convinced. It is also similar to the 6 Degrees of Separation theory.
There are theories that suggest everyone is connected and that all Europeans can find ancestral links to Charlemagne. Others note that everyone is related to Genghis Khan (since he was so “prolific”, as one commenter wrote). It appears that Obama has royal links (moreso than Bush did). Bush had more than Kerry (so he was given the title).
But the real question (as it pertains to our current plight, here in America) is should we try to find out who has the closest connections to the entire scheme of the candidates right now? Is it possible that old man Paul is related? Or Romney? Or Gingrich? Santorum?
They are all obviously crazy enough to have been mentally affected by cousin on cousin sex.

As far as I know, I am not related to any royalty, so that explains why I am not president. What’s your excuse?

Why, pray tell, Ronnie Boy? Because that corrupt system is what keeps you in your seat? Or is it because you are simply a dinosaur that is holding on as the meteor hits Earth? Or maybe you are the shill I have claimed you are.
I said long ago that your best chance was to drop that stinking monstrosity and embrace the real truths that confront us. But you refuse and I hope that you go away soon. You are a half-honest hack that is either too stupid to jump that sinking ship or you have an ulterior motive.
But beyond his obvious lies, what gripes me the most are the people who are still clamoring and defending just another fake “hope” for “change” diversion and are apparently too stupid to realize the real agenda of Paulsterity, no matter which reTHUGlican or demoRAT is (s)Elected.
You must deny them all. Never an R or D Again!
A Bushie = An ObamaManiac = A PaulTard
No Difference.
If you haven’t figured out that there will NEVER be a Savior from either of those parties, then you are a fool.

They want the strictest governing laws in the country, but it is a start. One Republican law maker (also a physician) is afraid that his fellow doctors are not trained in how to dispense it. Maybe he should read here and learn something.
Quack.
Maybe I could do this for a living when it gets legalized. ARF has his preference.

“However history may ultimately judge his opposition to the establishment of Israel, by 1949 it was clear that Forrestal was, in a sense, one of the casualties of the diplomatic warfare that had led to the creation of the Jewish state.“
Arnold Rogow, ‘James Forrestal, A Study of Personality, Politics, and Power‘ (1963) p. 195
James V. Forrestal was America’s first Secretary of Defense. He was also the leading official in the Truman administration opposing the creation and U.S. recognition of the state of Israel. President Truman relieved Forrestal of his position in late March of 1949. Within a few days he was committed, apparently against his will, to Bethesda Naval Hospital suffering from “exhaustion.” In spite of the invaluable service he had rendered to the country during World War II, first as Under Secretary of the Navy and then Secretary of the Navy, he had in 1948 and early 1949 been the subject of an unprecedented press vilification campaign, led by powerful columnists Drew Pearson and Walter Winchell.
At around 1:45 am, May 22, some seven weeks after his admission to the hospital, Forrestal plunged from a 16th floor window of the hospital to his death. A belt or cord, said to be from his dressing gown, was tied tightly around his neck.
On May 23, a review board was appointed by Admiral Morton D. Willcutts, the head of the National Naval Medical Center to investigate the death. The board completed its work on May 31, but not until October 11 did it publish a brief, summary report of only a few lines. No explanation of the delay was given. The summary concluded that Forrestal had died from the fall, but it had nothing to say about what caused the fall, except to conclude that no one associated with the Navy was responsible. In short, it did not conclude that he had committed suicide, as initial reports stated and the public is still given to believe. No mention was made in the summary, or in those later October press reports, of the belt around Forrestal’s neck.
The Willcutts Report, itself, was kept secret, and, curiously, no hue and cry was raised over that fact. After two unsuccessful Freedom of Information Act tries with the National Naval Medical Center, I was finally able to get the report of the review board from the office of the Navy’s Judge Advocate General, and my analysis is at http://www.dcdave.com/article4/040922.html .
At the time of the death, all the press made much of a book containing a morbid poem from Sophocles, “Chorus from Ajax,” that Forrestal had supposedly been copying from shortly before his plunge from the window. The press reports all say that the book and a transcription “were found,” but they never say by whom. Neither does the Willcutts Report. No witness is produced who claims to have discovered the book or the transcription. Rather, the first person to get a good look at Forrestal’s vacated hospital room found broken glass on his bed, a likely sign of some sort of struggle. She also described bedclothes half turned back, but the official “crime scene” photographs taken many hours later, show a bed with a bare mattress, an obvious sign of a cover-up. One can also see that articles were moved around from one picture to the next: http://www.dcdave.com/article4/040916.htm. Needless to say, no news report has ever mentioned the broken glass or the laundering of the room before photographs were taken.
Pro-Israel writers like Arnold Rogow, Winchell biographer, Neal Gabler, Jack Anderson, Charles Higham, John Loftus, and Mark Aarons have continued the character assassination against Forrestal, falsely characterizing him as an an anti-Semitic nut who had made several previous suicide attempts. This claim of several previous suicide attempts, echoed at this Arlington Cemetery web site: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jvforres.htm , is virtually proved to be false by the testimony of Forrestal’s Bethesda Hospital doctors in the Willcutts Report. They agree that, from all indications, he had never before attempted suicide.
The indications are very strong that Forrestal kept his no-suicide-attempt record intact on May 22, 1949, and became another casualty of the creation of the state of Israel in the same sense that Lord Moyne, Count Bernadotte, Yitzhak Rabin, Rachel Corrie, 34 crewmen on the USS Liberty, and Palestinian leaders on a regular basis have been casualties.
The Willcutts Report is available in pdf form on the web site of the Seeley Mudd Manuscript Library at Princeton University. Copies should also be available for perusal at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, and the Library of Congress. I have given the appropriate officials at these libraries compact discs of the report.

Addendum
Two months after posting this article, I revealed in Part 3 of “Who Killed James Forrestal?” the strongest evidence yet that Forrestal was murdered. I obtained Forrestal handwriting samples that clearly differ radically from the handwriting of the copied Sophocles poem. Another important research milestone was reached in early February of 2010 when the proprietor of the ARIWatch.com web site, who uses the nom de plume of “Mark Hunter,” put up a searchable htm version of the Willcutts Report, complete with his own analysis.
