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”.

B’Man: I have written many times that I believe that what we are experiencing (the fall of America) is planned and thoughtfully implemented. However, until I read this easy to understand outline at Video Rebel’s Blog, I had yet to find a comprehensive explanation (I certainly could not do this justice with my rants). Prepare yourselves for the inevitable:
The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 to do four things which the FED is still engaged in today. The Panic of 1907 was caused by speculators who used borrowed money to buy stock and by bucket shops which defrauded investors. The Monetary Reform Commission run by Senator Nelson Aldrich wanted an elastic currency so the financial blunders of the 0.1% could be covered up by passing the costs onto the 99.9% through inflation. An elastic currency also disguised the costs of wars to be disguised by inflation. The Federal Reserve also set up a fractional reserve banking system which permitted ten dollars to be loaned out for every one in deposit. This intentionally created an exaggerated credit cycle so bankers could profit from the wild swings in the prices of stocks and mortgages. And finally the Federal Reserve Note is an interest bearing currency which requires us to give the banks 500 billion dollars a year in interest payments for debts which are fictions created by a law passed in 1913. The Federal Reserve was designed to transfer our wealth to the bankers.
The Federal Reserve Act’s elastic currency made it possible for President Wilson to promise to enter WW I. Wall Street wanted to enter the war so they could bankrupt England, overthrow the Czar killing 60 million Russians in the process and set up Palestine as a Jewish colony to be protected by the British Army. This was similar to WW II. The Japanese Emperor had promised to withdraw from China and to even become an ally against Stalin as early as 1936. The German General staff under Beck and Canaris sent two men in March of 1938 to negotiate a treaty with the English offering to arrest Hitler. This means that World War II from the Rape of Nanking to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and from the invasion of Poland to the fall of Berlin need not have happened. That 58 million people died for nothing does not merit a footnote in the stories told by the victorious Allies.
After WW II the US gave north Korea to Joe Stalin so they could set up the Korean war to get anti-Communists killed while running America into ground. On 11-22-1963 President Kennedy was killed on the 53rd anniversary of the first meeting to create the Federal Reserve as a message to the voters to leave the FED alone. JFK’s death also allowed Israel to develop the nuclear weapons he had opposed. It also allowed the US to be led into the Vietnam war so America could lose it while killing a generation of anti-Communists and anti-Globalists, That millions of people died in Korea and Indo-China and even more Unpayable Debts were piled onto America which was very good in the eyes of bankers.
The Bretton Woods Conference of July 1944 was held by 44 Allies under the auspices of the UN. It tied all currencies to the US dollar. It also set up the IMF which most in the Third World and increasing numbers of Greeks, Irishmen, Italians and many other Europeans would agree are blood sucking imperialists. The IMF in recent years stole more than 20 billion dollars from the Irish people and has given nothing in return. That same conference also created the World Bank which for example forbade the Egyptians to develop a self sufficient agricultural system so it would be dependent on Imperial powers. The Bretton Woods system of monetary relations worked very well for the banks of London and Wall Street until August 15, 1971 when President Nixon took America off the Gold Exchange standard.
Michael Hudson in his book Super Imperialism described how the US was funding its wars by inflating the supply of currency used to settle trade. Since WW II we have been getting real goods like cars and clothes from foreigners in exchange for increasingly worthless paper. When Hudson explained this to the Pentagon, a general said, “Wow. We are ripping people off.”
The Arab-Israeli war of October 6 to 25, 1973 was a prelude to the Arab Oil Boycott. Saudi Arabia decided to reduce oil production by 5% per month on October 17. On October 19, President Nixon authorized a major arms shipment and $2.2 billion in aid for Israel. In response Saudi Arabia declared an embargo against the U. S. This quadrupled the price of oil. Dollars can be used to pay taxes to the US government. After the Boycott dollars could also be used to pay for oil sales between countries neither of which had a need to pay taxes to the American government. Henry Kissinger gave birth to the Petrodollar standard, The important points about Petrodollars are that the price of oil must be kept high so that excess dollars in the system do not circulate causing inflation and oil profits are plowed into US Treasury bonds. The Petrodollar Standard requires conflict in the Mideast to raise tensions and oil prices. It also requires banks like Goldman Sachs to use the derivatives market to buy and sell oil as many as 27 times from the time it gets pumped out of the ground until it arrives at a gas station. Of course higher oil prices do raise some production costs and cause some unemployment but Wall Street dies very well and nobody else matters.
Since the passage of NAFTA in 1994 and the subsequent devaluation of the Chinese yuan, America shipped 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas. This forever made economic recovery of the real economy impossible. In 1996 the head of CalPERS (California Public Employees’ Retirement System) told Catherine Austin Fitts that there was no point in investing to rebuild America because the decision had already been made to take America down. Subsequently Catherine who used to be the managing partner at Dillon Read Investment bank had a conversation with another high level funds manager. They had both independently come to the same conclusion. There was so much money being stolen from Americans by Wall Street that the only solution to the problem of missing pension funds, savings and retirement accounts was genocide. Wall Street would have to kill tens of millions of Americans because the tens of trillions they stole could never be returned.
Lest anyone think bankers are dull but honest men please consider the testimony of a former DEA agent who said it was impossible to get Federal Reserve co-operation in money laundering cases against the Too Big To Jail banks. He said 750 tons of Federal Reserve Notes had to be repatriated for just one case involving one bank. Transactions over ten thousand dollars require special reports to be filled out. A case involving 380 billion dollars would have generated 38 million reports for ten thousand dollar transactions or 38 thousand at a million dollars each. It is forbidden to mention in the Controlled Press that Ben Bernanke and his predecessor Alan Greenspan are Jewish.
In 1999 the final two nails in the coffin of the world economy was driven by Wall Street and the politicians they owned. They repealed the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 which had protected depositors from the wild speculations of investment bankers by separating the two types of banks. This has now exposed the Too Big To Jail banks to 227 trillion dollars in potential losses from the unregulated Credit Default Swaps market. Brooksley Born was Chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Omission in 1999 when she attempted to regulate CDS. They are a hybrid between insurance and derivatives which are a bet on the future value of a bond or a commodity. She knew that world was headed to a train wreck because for example when a bank sells a CDS guaranteeing the buyer from a loss in the value of a Greek bond no money has to be set aside to pay these potential claims. Some say the total notional value of the derivatives and CDS markets is 1.5 quadrillion dollars. The GDP of the entire world is only 60 trillion dollars, From 2008 to the end of 2011 Ben Bernanke created 30 trillion dollars to bailout bad decisions and frauds made by bankers all over the world. He has created additional trillions of dollars this year. There is no money set aside for these CDS losses thanks to the intervention of four Jewish men who told Ms Born she was nor allowed to regulate CDS. The men were Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers (Samuelson) and Arthur Levitt. The only Bailout Bernanke ever had was to print dollars to infinity thus reducing the purchasing power of your dollars to zero.
In 2000 Alan Greenspan started raising interest rates and tightening the money supply early enough in the year to take the stock market down before election day so George W Bush could win the presidency and take America to war for Israel. This War on Terror was designed to last until America went bankrupt and lost WW III. The whole point of NAFTA was to make America’s supply lines stretch 8,000 miles to China on a dodgy credit card so America would be guaranteed to lose WW III and be unable to demand the return of the tens of trillions Wall Street had stolen.
On September 10, 2001 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the Comptroller of the Pentagon Rabbi Dov Zakheim admitted to CBS News that they could not trace 2.3 trillion dollars on DOD spending. Using the works of Catherine Austin Fitts, I estimate that the bankers are allowed to steal at least 3 to 4 billion dollars a week from federal spending which we peasants are not allowed to audit.
On September 11, 2001 four airplanes were electronically hijacked using the Command Transmitter System which remotely takes over airliners that had been hijacked. There had been no hijackings of US passenger jets for many years prior to 911. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology found no Arab DNA on Flight 77 which allegedly hit the Pentagon. Robert Andrews, a former Green Beret, was the Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defense who commanded US Special Ops forces. He saw a bomb go off that killed the auditors attempting to trace the missing 2.3 trillion dollars. There were no Arabs on the 4 planes on the passenger and crew list published by CNN. Nanothermite which cuts through steel girders at 5,200 degrees Fahrenheit (2,871 Celsius) in 2 seconds is only available at above top secret labs in the US and Israel. It was found in the dust at the World Trade Center in New York. The Towers were taken down by controlled demolitions.
America has killed millions of Iraqis and Afghans at a cost of 2 trillion dollars for no good reason other than Israel wanted them dead. Israel claims all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates which is presently occupied by 300 million Gentiles. Israel’s goal is to get Americans into one final war in the Mideast. It will be a genocidal attack from which America is intended to suffer a death blow. I need to point out that the purpose of the drones killing innocent civilians is to display American arrogance and contempt for the Muslims so that when the war does start the oppressed people of the region will kill every occupying soldier. This will justify the use of nuclear weapons to exterminate the enemies of Israel. After the genocide is over, those Americans who do not die from starvation and radiation or perhaps a plague can take their place as Debt Slaves to Wall Street. By the way, the Iranians do not have a nuclear weapons program.
We are in the final approach pattern to the planned destruction of the dollar and the enslavement of the American people. Ben Bernanke has said he will be printing even more money and that he will be buying agency paper (FHA, Fannie Mae) from the Hedge Funds at 100 cents on the dollar. The current real inflation rate just passed 12%. In 2 months the Hedge Funds will sell their bonds. They could invest their proceeds in the stock market hoping that Apple will go from 600 to 700 dollars. Since interest rates on ten year bonds have gone up and will likely continue to rise, both the stock market and existing bonds will go down in value. The only safe investment might be commodities and gold and silver bullion. Inflation will pick up as higher fuel prices are passed through the supply chain, Foreigners will accelerate their flight from the dollar into bullion and commodities. This capital flight will spur inflation even further and send the stock market plummeting.
I am of the opinion that the generals and the admirals and the colonels and the naval captains will mutiny rather than commit suicide by attacking Iran.
I have heard several people of late say that things have deteriorated so much in America that the people who knew better but played along with the lies they were told have seen the light. Now these people are finally admitting what the rest of us have known for some time. Our self appointed leaders are stark raving mad and will get us all killed.if we do not say No. The people who have woken to the Truth have not become violent yet. If the politicians ever do give the order to launch World War III by attacking Iran, the US military will muting and arrest everyone in the chain of command who signed off on the internationally recognized crime of preemptive war. This will have to include the bankers who stole tens of trillions of dollars and have committed treason as well.
The dollar will be dead and the economy will need resuscitation to prevent worldwide mass starvation. But at least we will have redeemed ourselves by saying No to launching World War III and killing a few billion people.

I visited the Blog Queens site a couple of days ago and she wanted to know what could be done about the phoney Baloney called Kony.
I wrote:
Sounds like a job for the American Military (at least this is what the propaganda wants us to believe). You know, like the US Navy’s commercial that says it is a Global Force For Good.
Please believe anything…
This is a smart woman, but she and everyone else seems to have a memory that dates back maybe four days. Have we not been lied to about these “monsters” enough for people to understand that we are being lied to at every turn? Seriously?
Can we not realize that our government is hell-bent on controlling all the resources of the world and will stop at nothing and stoop to the lowest levels to brainwash us even more?
Do you think that we just desperately needed another dark-skinned Disney villain since Osama was killed by Obama died of kidney failure 10 years ago?
Dammit, people. Please wake up.
Something tells me that it all went down sorta like this:

I have referenced this film several times here, but have not offered the entire thing for your viewing pleasure and education. Altho I have not been given permission from Len to add it to my Youtube Channel, he did suggest that I link to a version with Serbian subtitles (just disregard them and watch the movie). I have shared it with several people, including my new friend Eamon, who has recently posted Rick Simpson’s video (Run From The Cure), investigating whether or not Cannabis can cure cancer, at his blog “The Great Purification” (please visit and check him out).
The following is one of the most important films on this subject that you can ever see and share. Len is a warm and caring person who was affected in his personal life by cancer and it set him on a course of discovery that culminated in this work.
This Is A Must Watch!
What if Cannabis Cured Cancer
I follow Len’s work because I trust what he is doing and believe that what he has produced is one of the most important avenues towards educating and curing ourselves of that menacing disease. He can be seen in this following video in a Q&A setting that is informative, as well:
After the screening of his documentary, “What if Cannabis Cured Cancer”, director Len Richmond discusses marijuana and cancer with the audience. Photographed by Steve DeVol.
And its not just from the medical side, altho that is my main purpose. For even that maniac, Pat Robertson has come out to say,
“I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing possession of a few ounces of pot, and that kind of thing — it’s costing us a fortune, and it’s ruining young people.”
As Kenny pointed out, there must be some other agenda (or maybe he is finally completely losing his mind and saying what is obviously true). I dunno what his motive is, but I agree that it should be made legal again.
Of course, you could always simply do what many Doctors themselves won’t do, and that is use their own recommended cancer treatments. You see, many are saying that Unnecessary Cancer Treatments Are Accelerating Death (as found at Activist Post).
Many doctors themselves state that they would not receive conventional cancer treatment if they had cancer. Their decision to refuse mainstream cancer treatments likely has to do with cancer drugs being found to have been found to actually make cancer worse and kill patients more quickly. And yet when individuals first hear that they have cancer, they hastily accept the treatment assuming that it is the only hope for survival.
Short of surgery that removes the growth (generally only successful if done very early, as my friend Korn Likker recently went thru, and is now recovering, is finding out first hand), most of those treatments are what actually kill the person, before cancer can get them. And this doesn’t address the concern that the quality of life before it gets them is greatly diminished.Some suggest that 75% of Physicians Refuse Chemotherapy Themselves.
Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers, and well wishes for my buddy Korn Likker. He is in intense pain, but the doctor said the surgery was a total success (he got all of the cancer). If this country (or even starting with this state) had any compassion, they would immediately re-legalize cannabis, or at the very least, allow medical marijuana treatments. But they don’t really care, do they?

Submitted by Don Lucas (please reference the original article found at WSWS.org):
Brothers and Sisters
Lies are lies, and they all bear bad fruit. This is not going to be another little history lesson. Below is what happens when lies are told. This actually happened and it is NOT an isolated case. I have sent several articles on this subject and if you have read them you will know that what happened in the copied article below is common. You just won’t find it on the news unless for some reason it develops a life of its own.
“Common” i.e. “it happened all the time” is how this incident was described by Major General Steve Johnson. I will have a few brief words to say at the conclusion of the article.
As part of a plea deal, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, leader of a Marine squad responsible for the 2005 slaughter of 24 Iraqi civilians, will spend no time in a military prison. Wuterich, 31, pleaded guilty on January 23 to a single charge of negligent dereliction of duty for his role in the massacre in Haditha and its subsequent cover-up.
The Marine faced a sentencing hearing Tuesday at Camp Pendleton, California. Previously indicted on unpremeditated murder charges in 19 of the 24 civilian deaths, counts carrying a maximum sentence of 152 years in prison, Wuterich was allowed to walk free. He still faces possible reduction in pay and rank. (OMG, not a possible reduction in pay and rank!! Jeez, it was only 24 innocent civilians.) During proceedings Monday, the court did not discuss a discharge for Wuterich, who has remained on active duty since the massacre.
The Haditha case was the longest running criminal prosecution against military personnel involved in the Iraq War and Wuterich was the last man among the original eight facing charges in the case. Six other Marines had charges dismissed, and one Marine was acquitted.
The plea agreement of Wuterich brings the three-and-a-half-week long court martial to a close, thereby suppressing more details about the killings, one of the worst atrocities committed by US soldiers against civilians since the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. (Remember, My Lai was a common occurrence too. It just happened to make the papers, the same as this atrocity)
As in other atrocity cases related to the US occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan—among them the Abu Ghraib torture case, the Blackwater killings of Baghdad’s Nisour Square, the Afghan “kill team,” and others—the outcome of the Haditha killings absolves higher level military and government figures of any responsibility for the consequences of policies (CYA) that low-ranking military personnel carry out.Like the massacre itself, the outcome of the case underscores the criminal character of the wars and the political establishment behind them.
Wuterich pleaded guilty to the minor charge of negligent dereliction of duty for ordering the squad to “shoot first and ask questions later” on the night of November 19, 2005.
Although the rampage began after a convoy in which the Marines were traveling was struck by a roadside bomb, testimony of the men make clear that Wuterich and others were knowingly slaughtering innocent bystanders with no provocation.
Sergeant Sanick Dela Cruz, a young corporal at the time of the massacre, testified earlier this month that he witnessed Wuterich order four teen aged students and a taxi driver out of a passing cab, then execute them as they knelt in a position of surrender. Dela Cruz, who had been granted immunity in exchange for his testimony, said he and others riddled the victims with bullets as they lay on the ground, then urinated on their corpses. Afterward, Dela Cruz told the jury, Wuterich ordered him to lie about the killings, concocting a story involving the victims running away and coming under fire by Iraqi soldiers.
After the street shooting, Wuterich ordered the squad on a sweep of three nearby houses, where families including many women, children, and elderly residents had been sleeping. The Marines went room by room, throwing grenades and opening fire on the unarmed occupants. Nineteen civilians were killed. At no point were the Marines engaged by return fire.
Squad member Colonel Stephen Tatum had testified that in one dark bedroom, he joined Wuterich in firing upon small silhouettes. (FYI-’small silhouettes’ are children) Facing the court Tuesday, however, Wuterich insisted he “never fired any weapon at any women or children that day.” He also stated that although he was entering a guilty plea, he rejected the suggestion that it was an acknowledgement of wrongdoing by his squad or the chain-of-command. “In no way should my acceptance of responsibility ever be considered an indictment of the Marines or the commanders.” (If murdering God knows how many innocent men, women, and children, is not an indictment of the Marines, they what, pray tell is? Dropping two atomic bombs on innocent civilians? No, that was the Army/Air Force, not the Marines).
“The case doesn’t end with a bang, it ends with a whimper and a pretty weak whimper at that,” former Marine Corps prosecutor and judge Gary Solis commented to the Associated Press. “When you have 24 dead bodies and you get dereliction of duty, that’s pretty good defense work.” (FYI- that is not ‘pretty good defense work”, that is a cover up from the very top)
The announcement of the plea deal provoked outrage and statements of condemnation from Iraqis. “This is a disgraceful sentence for an inhuman crime that lines up with the Abu Ghraib scandal and the Nisour Square massacre,” Hussein Ali, an engineer in Baghdad, told Reuters. “History will mention this sentence and will show how the Americans have ablack history that disrespects human blood.” (Imagine if you will, the reverse happening here in the US. How do you think you would feel if 24 men, women, and children were massacred out of pure vengeance? Especially knowing that the massacre and wanton killing of civilians, even if only a few at a time, were a common occurrence in the “liberated” town you lived in. Imagine if that was your wife and children, murdered in their beds. Just a thought.)
Khalid Salman, lawyer for the victims’ families in Haditha and cousin of one of those killed in the attack, said he was in disbelief over the sentence and had to double-check the news. “This is not a traffic felony,” he said. (No, because had it been a traffic penalty he would have paid afine.) Another Haditha resident and relative of one of the victims told Reuters, “This sentence gives us the proof, the solid proof that the Americans don’t respect human rights… This is an insult to the victims and an insult to all Iraqis.” (Like it or not, this is how “they” see “us/US”, and how they view Christians.)
The outcome of the trial completes the effort of the military to tamp down the implications of the case. From the beginning, the story was presented as one of a chaotic firefight involving insurgents and an embattled Marine squad. After an outcry from relatives and witnesses, the military offered relatives settlements of $2,500 per victim. ($2,500, is adding insult to injury) The military regards civilian casualties as a cost of doing business, and that the Marines need to get “the job done” no matter what it takes, a 2007 investigation into the Haditha killings by Army Major General Eldon Bargewell concluded.This perspective, codified in official military policy, found expression in widespread killings of civilians. Indeed, over the eight years of official occupation, well over a million Iraqi civilians were killed.
Documents found in an Iraqi dump, retrieved by the New York Times last month as they were being burned, bear out Bargewell’s findings. Among the papers were statements given by military personnel on the Haditha massacre. “I mean, whether it’s a result of our action or other action, you know, discovering 20 bodies, throats slit, 20 bodies, you know, beheaded, 20 bodies here, 20 bodies there,” Col. Thomas Cariker, a commander in Anbar Province told investigators, describing the scope of the carnage.
Major General Steve Johnson, who was commander of US forces in Anbar Province at the time, stated dismissively that “it happened all the time … it was just the cost of doing business on that particular engagement.” Civilians were routinely shot down at checkpoints, other officers explained, when the men stationed as guards got edgy or confused. “I had Marines shoot children in cars and deal with the Marines individually one on one about it because they have a hard time dealing with that,” one officer testified. (A “hard time”? As I’ve said before, PTSD is a result of soldiers witnessing, and/ or actually killing innocent human beings. It also involves seeing and/or doing all of the horrors of war. It is especially doing these things which they do in clear violation of their God given conscience. It’s not “counseling” they need, but confession and repentance.
Brief Commentary
To those among you or even to those you know, be they friends or family, if you cast your vote for any of the Presidents and/or Representatives who voted for Iraq War 1, Iraq War 2, Afghanistan War (10 years and counting), Libya and the rest of the Middle East (CIA fomented) and now it would appear the soon bombing/missile attacks, and very possibly a ”targeted nuclear attack” on Iran’s “alleged” nuclear weapons facilities, please search your heart and the scriptures (which I have reiterated scores of times) to see if you have any culpability in this endless loss of life and destruction of whole countries.
The answer to this is simple if you base your conclusion on scripture… Yes. If the answer is yes, then please repent and tell your brethren who voted for these war criminals do all they can to bring scripture light and truth to others as well. I will not belabour the point, but if you find yourself searching the Old Testament and even the New Testament for scriptures that would seemingly contradict Gods Royal Law of Love to all men (think John 3:16 as a starting place), then you are wrestling the scriptures to your own destruction.
Jesus does not authorize the death and destruction innocent life. You will find nothing in the New Testament that authorizes Christians i.e. those who in truth follow Jesus and keep His commandments, to kill innocent people. Knowing these truths, if you fail to repent of your support for these Satanic Wars of Aggression and to Warn your brethren who through ignorance (as is the case with most) have supported said War Criminals and Agents of Satan, their blood will be upon your soul in the Day of Judgement. You yourself will not be held blameless, if you have not repented and washed your Garment of Righteousness in the Blood of the Lamb which is the ONLY THING that can save you.
If you are guilty of these sins and do not repent (or even if you do repent) and then blithely go on your way thinking that by “leading others to Christ” and “making disciples of them” (which usually ends up being “regular church attenders and especially 10% tithers), you are FAILING to Warn them of the very things which can and will Destroy their eternal souls. It is not enough to get someone saved and then watch them align themselves with the Satanic evils of this world and say NOTHING. How can you stand before God with clean hands and a pure heart if you countenance these things by your SILENCE?
If you think it is enough to get them delivered from the evils of Hollywood and sexual sins, to rail against homosexuality, to rant about those “evil Democrats”, and not warn them of the dangers of supporting war criminals and ipso facto all of the Death and Evil they perpetuate, you are walking in Deception. Am I going too far? Look at the photos attached and into the faces of the recipients of Americas wars and the Christians who support them, in its multitude of other rapacious sins which I don’t have time to go into, and ask yourself…Am I innocent? It their life as valuable as mine?

Paul continues to sidle up to the very criminal, lying cabal (think Bruce Fein) that has gotten us into the mess we are in (h/t aangirfan)
I had another communication with Ry2Sense (he blocked me from his Youtube Channel… I must be a bear to deal with, or the young man is a pussy, or better yet, Ryan wants no real truth to be read on his channel). I want to give my friends who have defended him the benefit of the doubt and in turn, give him a chance to redeem himself for the stupid things he has said or written in full ass-.up ready-to-receive-the-pound display.
It is much more than the 911 thing (and Ryan simply apologizes for Paul’s asinine distancing himself from the truth and/or Truthers… of which Ryan obviously is not and cares little for). 9/11 is the absolute nut-cutter, but some sycophants could care less about that truth. They have other agendas to pursue. I sent Ryan the data (the math)… I told him where I got it (Paul’s Plan To Restore America economic plan)… and I asked him to research it.
He did nothing except the standard knee-jerk, sycophantic regurgitation of talking points.
The damned details are right there for anyone to see, but when the horse refuses to drink, (we deal in mixed metaphors around here) we can easily see where some people are either too stupid or, maybe part of the hood-winking. Sure, I also know that emotional ties become very strong when someone like Ryan puts themselves on the line by touting so much bullshit that when the truth is heard, one must run away screaming with their fingers in their ears. He is committed and when a committed person sees or hears the truth, it is still damn near impossible to get them to see the light (when they are desperately clutching the blindfold down over their own eyes).
Now, Ryan wrote one key sentence that really tells it all. When I addressed that Paul would continue the Bush-era tax cuts (that have only served the ultra rich and to make the burden be on us poor people), Ryan replied, “For one there is nothing wrong with Bush’s tax cuts. ” The funny thing was Ryan’s very first sentence to me in his reply:
I’m sorry but you don’t seem to know anything about economics or Ron Paul.
Heh.
No, I’m no economics expert, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night.
Is he an idiot or a shill?
He then regurgitates the BS:
Paul isn’t cutting Medicare or Social Security or food stamps at all. SS is your own money. Paul’s idea is to allow the youth to opt out of it. And phase it out. And he would cut a lot more than 15% form the military. He end both wars and close down bases all over the world.
What the Freak is wrong with people? I didn’t write the plan for Paul (and obviously, Paul didn’t either). One thing is for sure, I have not heard a single person who has actually LOOKED at the data to be able to discount or negate my findings. The ONLY ones who even try are the ones so enamored with Paul that they can’t see or don’t want to see what is plainly right in front of their two eyes.
I don’t have a dog in the race (I am no ObamaBot nor do I have another candidate I am pushing, especially from either of the parties). So, what could possible be my motive, if one believes I have a negative motive?
Look, I am tired of getting screwed. And worse, I am sick and tired of numbnut, insouciant sycophants with some emotional attachment to a candidate that cannot even READ their favorite candidate’s OWN GOD DANGED paper to see where they are screwing their fellow Americans (hell, I don’t know if Ryan is an American, I know he works for the Japanese government, for whatever that is worth beyond the obviously dubious connections that would bring).
So, for all of you Ryans out there, take this (beware, strong language… but funny):

Help Prevent Tyranny by Educating People: Copy the Body of this Post and Send It In An Email – All Modern Browsers Allow You To Do It – To Your Elected Representatives, Local Law Enforcement, Military Friends and Everyone You Know
Everything Happening Now Was Planned Before 9/11
Special preface to my friends in the military, law enforcement and intelligence and other government servants: You are sworn to defend and uphold the Constitution, and the facts below may help you do so.
We’ve been told that “9/11 changed everything” and that we’re living in “a post-911 world”.
We’ve been told that what our government is doing now has been rendered necessary by the urgent post-9/11 threat from terrorists.
In reality, however, virtually everything happening now was planned before 9/11. Please see for yourself:
The Patriot Act was planned before 9/11 (and see this). Indeed, former Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke told Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig:
After 9/11 the government drew up the Patriot Act within 20 days and it was passed.
The Patriot Act is huge and I remember someone asking a Justice Department official how did they write such a large statute so quickly, and of course the answer was that it has been sitting in the drawers of the Justice Department for the last 20 years waiting for the event where they would pull it out.
The Afghanistan war was planned before 9/11 (see this and this)
The decision to launch the Iraq war was made before 9/11. Indeed, former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted “crap” in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill – who sat on the National Security Council – also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, Cheney said a Bush administration might “have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power.” And see this.
The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11, and the Christian Science Monitor notes that the U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability
I have written about Ron Paul several times here. I like a great deal of what the man has to say. Were it an open and honorable election system, where political parties were not owned lock, stock and barrel by Corporate interests with a goal of subservience to Big Money, I would say right here and now that I would vote for him as POTUS.
Of course, he is a reTHUGlican. He proves his allegiance in this video below where Sean Hannity tries to get him to say that he would not become independent in his run for POTUS.
The “statist”, Sean Hannity (and the other ass-kissing sycophants like Rush and O’Lielly) have done little more than discount and belittle Paul’s run. Minimize the non-interventionist stance… argue about what America’s role in the world is, but then stroke him for the initiatives that could easily be hijacked into an austerity jackpot.
Take the hints in the video below to see where I am going with this and listen carefully, as the slimeball, Sean, sets the stage for his gullible, sheep-like listeners:
Ron Paul could very likely be our next president. Obama is despised and even those on the “left” are angry that he is a liar and worse than Bush (even though I have been telling them this for years now). All the other reTHUGs are fools, war mongers, globalist pigs (just like their demoRAT counterparts). The American public is hoping for someone like Paul to step in and change things. You know: hope and change (AGAIN).
President Paul will be lauded as an economic genius and many of his harshest policies will be pushed from the THUGs (and will also be rallied by the RATs). They will use the man’s platform to continue the globalist, world-stealing, Israeli-kowtowing agenda. And he will get all sorts of adulation for it. But guess which of his platforms will be ignored, belittled and struck down? All of his foreign interventionist/bring the troops home rhetoric (which is WHAT gets him elected… just like that is what got the criminal, Obama elected). Anything to do with dismantling the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, etc will be squashed and he will acquiesce, saying that it is a tough battle and new information given him that he didn’t have before will change his policy to be the same world-controlling Empire. Auditing/dismantling The Fed will take a back seat, because he will be over-seeing the crash of the Dollar and will be one of the first to endorse a new currency and slight changes to the system. But, one should never believe for a second that the real power brokers will ever lose their power, no matter what replaces what we know as the Fed.
What has become evident is that it is now impossible for the blowhards like Hannity to continue to ignore Paul, so they will now begin the embrace: the massage to turn the perception of Americans towards Paul. Hijack his campaign and do the same old/same old.
For sure, never doubt that he will be neutered the moment he wins the election and we can experience all that hope and change again this election cycle, just like ALL the other hopes and changes we have experienced in the POTUS elections.

There is one thing that defines everyone over the course of these early years of this new century. That thing is the 9/11 attack. Everyone in government and every field of endeavor the world over is defined by their position on this event. It is not necessary to know the truth. It is only necessary to know the extent of the lies in order to define any leader in any position anywhere in the world. By what they have said and by what they have not said, one can accurately judge who is an enemy of the people’s of the world. One can accurately determine who is a tool of the psychopaths or one of them.
They will pull every stunt to keep us ignorant to the truth of this day, ten years ago. They will enact legislation that congeals the lies told into a nice, heroic story. You will have POTUS candidates who, like most every other POTUS candidates, will attempt to manipulate the emotions that this day brings. Some will go so far as to sing about it and use the horrific images of that day to garner support for his dying campaign:
Just read thru the comments to get a feel for how the majority think about such a display and this character, Cain.
B’Man’s comment: Just what this country needs: another narcissistic bastard totally devoid of empathy and decency, set upon nothing more than exploiting Americans at this time in our dark history.
You, sir, are a disgrace and I hope this video is the final straw that sends you packing.
Now, I know that there are still plenty of people who believe the lies… as hard as I find that to swallow in face of all the evidence presented since that day (altho it has been totally ignored by anyone of power or the media). Maybe its easier for people to just believe the story no matter what your own eyes (or thousands of experts have to say on the subject). Just view these snapshot videos from various engineering, architectural and demolitions experts about the impossibility of the buildings simply falling down from the plane impacts.
That is, “IF” there were planes or humans piloting them:
I have to point out that there have been a lot of “solutions” provided from the “reactions” to the “problems” of “terrorism” (all of this manufactured whole cloth from the criminality of that day).
Several changes to the laws were made after this fateful day. All under the guise of protecting Americans, when their actual purpose has been to erode our rights and liberties in this country.
Why Israel? Because they have the most to gain from all of this. For as we never forget 911, we must also never forget that the long sought agenda of “Greater Israel” never dies.
That couldn’t be, you say? That our “ally” would never harm us, nor would they ever have a goal of expansion throughout the middle east, but globally, as well. Naw. Nothing to see there.
The results of polls on peoples’ beliefs about 9/11 around the world might surprise you:
In its January 2011 issue, the popular German magazine “Welt der Wunder” published the results of a poll conducted by the Emnid institute on 1005 respondents. The poll indicated that nearly 90% percent of Germans are convinced that the government of the United States is not telling the whole truth about the September 11 attacks
A new poll conducted in France by HEC Paris shows that 58% of French people doubt the official version of 9/11, and 49% believe the U.S. government might have intentionally allowed the attacks to happen
A Zogby poll conducted in August 2007 found that 51% of Americans want Congress to probe Bush/Cheney regarding the 9/11 attacks, two-thirds (67%) of Americans say the 9/11 Commission should have investigated the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7
A poll conducted by CNN-IBN in August 2007 found that only 2 out of 5 of those polled in India – the world’s second most populous country – believe that al-Qaeda is responsible for the 9/11 attacks
Indeed, a poll taken by World Public Opinion, a collaborative project of research centers in various countries managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, College Park, polled 16,063 people in 17 nations outside of the United States during the summer of 2008. They found that majorities in only 9 of the 17 countries believe Al Qaeda carried out the attacks. The poll showed that in the world’s most populous country – China – only 32% believed that Al Qaeda carried out the attacks.
Yep. There are more and more people getting pissed like my buddy Ed. Some people are coming out and getting to express their anger, too:
Yes, people are pissed. Some know where to get info on this subject and many others are too busy with life or simply cannot find the time to care (as crazy a notion that is to me, I understand). So, I have my favorite places to go for info on 911. I recommend Greg’s place: The Goon Squad. I recommend Mr Friend’s blog. I like Reflections In A Petri Dish (you should really go hear 911 Was An Inside Job).
Deek has a wonderful take on it (yet with harsh language, beware):

The link within my tweet is to IncidentNews, which is a .gov website that provides publicly available information related to oil and hazardous material spills, both current and historical.
At 1014 hours local time on 8 June 2011, USCG Sector New Orleans notified the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator of a reported mystery slick WSW of Breton Island. The size of slick is reported as “several miles” in length. The initial information is sketchy, and the USCG has launched a helicopter and small boat to investigate as well as coordinating with the USFWS Breton Wildlife Refuge Manager. No responsible party is yet known. NOAA was requested to provide an Initial Trajectory Analysis and Resources at Risk analysis. In 2005, this same refuge was impacted by a small spill resulting in the death of more than 600 pelican. USFWS reports that there are nearly 7000 pelican on North Breton Island currently and this is nesting season.
Incident Details
Spill, potential spill, or other: Oil Spill
Cause of incident: Mystery Spill
Products of concern: Unknown
Latitude (approximate): 29° 26.08′ North
Longitude (approximate): 89° 16.42′ West
"The size of slick is reported as “several miles” in length."
You may recall reports last week that a fisherman discovered a several miles long slick and that efforts were underway to find whether it was BP oil resurfacing from last year’s blowout. By week’s end, our friends at the National Wildlife Federation had already determined that the oil near Venice was not from the BP disaster. They were able to retrieve a sample from the fisherman and have it tested at a lab at LSU, which concluded it was not oil from BP’s Macondo well.
The link above has a link to the National Wildlife Federation report, and a slide show of the new oil leak from a different well in the Gulf Of Mexico. While this oil spill is no ‘BP Deepwater Horizon Macondo’, it is still an oil spill that is being ignored. Ignored because this is an everyday occurrence in the Gulf of Mexico.

The following is presented in full with permission from James Colbertt. I believe this is one of the very best presentations about this subject and that every redneck should read, study the links and gather a true understanding about the myth of OBL and how this bogeyman has been used to make you submit to tyranny of the Fascist state America has become. As I understand it, James is Canadian and I feel it is a shame that he is more patriotic than many Americans. I commend him for his work.
This is James Corbett of corbettreport.com with the last word on Osama Bin Laden.
Osama Bin Laden was one of the 54 children of Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, a construction magnate who made his fortune by cozying up to the royal family of Saudi Arabia. The bin Laden family has had an intimate relationship with the upper reaches of global power politics for the past half a century.
In 1996, after the bombing of the Khobar Towers for which Osama took credit, the Saudi Binladen Group was given the contract to rebuild the facility (see article on page 14).
Also in 1996, FBI agents in the Washington field office were investigating the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, a suspected terrorist organization that included Abdullah Bin Laden, the group’s president and treasurer, and Omar Bin Laden. BBC News uncovered internal FBI documents showing how the agents were ordered to stop their investigation. The case was only reopened the week after 9/11 and the day after both brothers fled the US with FBI permission.
In 1998, another FBI investigation into the Bin Laden brothers, this one initated by the New York field office, was called off by the State Department because, it was revealed, the Bin Laden family had been granted Saudi diplomatic passports in 1996 and thus had diplomatic immunity inside the United States.
In the days after 9/11, two dozen members of the Bin Laden family and over 100 members of the Saudi royal family were flown to assembly points in Texas and Washington and then flown out of the country. At least one of these flights took place during the total ban on civilian air traffic over North American airspace. Declassified FBI documents show that the Bureau believed the Bin Laden family flight out of the country—carrying suspected terrorists Abdullah and Omar Bin Laden—was chartered by Osama Bin Laden himself, but some of the passengers, including Abdullah, were not even interviewed in person by the FBI before their departure.
Of course, for the purveyors of the official conspiracy theory of Al-Qaeda, none of this has any relevance because the Saudi Binladin Group, the family business conglomerate, issued a terse, two-sentence statement in April of 1994 publicly disowning Osama. The facts, however, indicate that this public disowning was in fact a ruse.
In 2004, Osama’s half-brother Yeslam Binladin admitted that the family shared a joint Swiss bank account with Osama. The account was not closed until 1997, the year after the Khobar Towers bombing.
Nonetheless, the question remains: do the Bin Laden family connections to the highest circles of power in the American political establishment have any relevance to the story of Osama Bin Laden? Is there any evidence that American intelligence was involved with Osama himself over the years?
During Operation Cyclone, the US government funded the Afghan mujahedeen in their struggle against the Soviets in the largest covert operation in CIA history to that time. An estimated $5 billion in arms and funding were supplied to the jihadis, including stinger anti-aircraft missiles and other equipment that kept the Soviet Red Army bogged down in the country for years.
Officially, the CIA’s contact was limited to the Afghans themselves, and no funding was given to the so-called Arab Afghans like Osama Bin Laden, the Muslims from the Arab world who came to Afghanistan to aid in their fight against the Soviets. In reality, however, CIA funds were being funnelled to the ISI, the Pakistani intelligence service that distributed those funds to the Arab Afghans through an organization called MAK, or the Bureau of Services. Osama Bin Laden was the one in charge of MAK’s finances.
This much was admitted by Osama’s brother Salem in 1985, who confessed that Osama was “the liaison between the US, the Saudi government and the Afghan rebels” at the time. In 1986, Salem asked the Pentagon for anti-aircraft missiles on Osama’s behalf.
The former chief of the US visa bureau in Jeddah, Michael Springmann, has testified that during his time there, he was respeatedly ordered by CIA officials to approve visas for Bin Laden’s mujahedeen cohorts so that they could be provided training at US military bases. 11 of the 19 alleged 9/11 hijackers would go on to get their visas from the same consulate.
FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds has admitted that in her time at the FBI she saw proof that the US had maintained a “very intimate relationship” with Bin Laden all the way though the 1990s up to September 11th.
The Guardian reported that Osama had travelled to the American Hospital in Dubai for kidney dialysis treatment in June 2001. While there, he was visited by the local CIA station chief. When the CIA official later boasted about having met Osama Bin Laden, he was promptly recalled to Washington.
In a July 2005 article in the Guardian, Robin Cook, the former speaker of the House of Commons, asserted that the name Al Qaeda itself actually referred to the database containing CIA assets from the Afghan mujahedeen struggle.
Even Osama’s alleged responsibility for the 9/11 events has been repeatedly called into question.
After video of what the Pentagon alleged was Osama Bin Laden confessing to the 9/11 attacks emerged in December 2001, a German national news program conducted its own investigation into the tape. According to its own, independent translators, every single point in the video that the Pentagon alleges indicate Osama’s foreknowledge or complicity in the 9/11 attack has been mistranslated, and the video does not in fact provide any proof of confession.
Famously, FBI spokesman Rex Tomb told investigative journalist Ed Haas that the FBI did not include 9/11 on Bin Laden’s “most wanted” profile because there was no hard evidence connecting him to the crime.
And yet within the first minute of TV coverage of the second plane hitting the World Trade Center on 9/11, Osama Bin Laden was named as the likely perpetrator of the event. This idea solidified into a near certainty within hours, and the 24/7 news coverage shifted almost immediately to the question of when the US would invade Afghanistan.
In an interview the day after 9/11, confronted with this tendency of the press to jump to conclusions about Osama Bin Laden, ex-CIA station chief Milt Bearden made some unexpected statements about the supposed terrorist mastermind.
And now, in May of 2011, after Osama Bin Laden has been allegedly tracked down and allegedly shot by a Navy Seal team, after a trillion dollars and two wars have been waged in the name of fighting his shadowy, non-existent terror organization, as the very fabric of our society itself has been torn asunder in the neverending hunt for the terrorist boogeyman under our collective bed, perhaps it is time to ask once again what Osama Bin Laden means to us, after all.
If one were to base their understanding of Osama Bin Laden solely on mainstream media coverage of him over the last 10 years, a very different picture would emerge to the one that you have just been presented.
This media-constructed image would be one of a radical Muslim who appeared out of nowhere in the 1990s to begin a string of increasingly devastating terror attacks on American targets. After masterminding the 9/11 attacks in some undefined manner from a cave fortress in the hills of Afghanistan, he supposedly outwitted and outmanoeuvred the combined might of the most powerful military and the most technologically sophisticated intelligence dragnet in the history of the world for an entire decade, all the while releasing videos and audiotapes from his secret compound to taunt his would-be captors. Finally, we are told, he was tracked down and shot in a special forces raid during which live video transmissions were inexplicably unavailable and then buried at sea before his death could be confirmed by any independent third party.
What emerges from the official Osama Bin Laden story is not a person but a comic book villain, a faceless, mysterious, motivationless embodiment of “terrorism” with all the reality of a Lex Luther or Cobra Commander. His is a powerful myth, made all the more powerful because it has been constructed and promoted by the very politicians and string-pullers who claim to be opposing him. Like Orwell’s Emmanuel Goldstein, his face can be put before the public from time to time to produce the Two Minute Hate, a cathartic projection of anger upon an empty image. We know to hiss when his picture is dangled before us and cheer when we are told he is dead. But always, always, it is stressed that he is fearsome, that he is ruthless, and that the only way to stop him is to surrender our rights and freedoms. Even in death, we are told, he and the mythical army of devotees he supposedly ruled over, are a clear and present danger to our society necessitating the continuation of the neverending wars against abstract nouns, TSA agents groping children at the airports and extra-judicial no-fly lists that are turning in to no-ride lists and no-buy lists.
The only thing we can say for certain is that the Osama Bin Laden character has now been disposed of in a far-fetched burial story only fitting of his cartoonish myth. And now the public is already being prepared for his replacement myths, a gaggle of similarly cartoonish charactersno less connected to the Western intelligence establishment than Osama himself.
But after finally waking from the 10 year nightmare of the Osama Bin Laden fable, are the public willing to go straight back to sleep? Or are they going to start questioning the official narratives that are cemented into place in the wake of every large-scale event, narratives that always support more government intrusion in our lives, expanded wars of aggression around the globe and an ever-expanding police state?
It’s an important question, and one that must be answered quickly, while the public is still wary and skeptical of a government that has lied to them time and time again and then refuses to provide that public with a single credible shred of proof that the largest manhunt in the history of America has ended with the disposal of this intelligence asset, Osama Bin Laden.
For if the public does choose to go back to sleep and dismiss the copious documentary evidence that the entire war on terror is a fraud being perpetrated by the same people who claim to be fighting the terrorists, we may never be able to awake from whatever nightmare they have planned for us next.

There are several 911 videos that people can view here and many other places. Altho I don’t consider this the most comprehensive film made, I do believe there are some excellent eye witness accounts and dots connected for anyone trying to understand the real motive for the 911 “attacks”.
BTW: there will be a sequel.

I first featured that video for Lynda in 2009. In a follow-up post I linked to an essay that asked where the hell did they go? If we only had that kind of student uprising (for those very same hippies are now part of the status quo) we might take back control of this country (but I am not holding my breath).
I want to be optimistic enough to think that at some point, Americans will get pissed enough to do something like the Hippies of old did. Unfortunately, those very same Hippies, by and large, are now a part of the problem since they forgot what they fought for back in the day and now have taken up and replaced “The Man” that they once hated and rallied against. The Hippies ARE now “The Man”.
But is it too late? Do we still stand a chance of taking back this country from the Oligarchs?
It’s a pretty twisted state of affairs, but the masses still lie in a half-awake, half-asleep dreamlike state, convinced that the MSM practices genuine journalism, that there actually is a meaningful separation between the Republicans and Democrats, and that at least one of those parties actually represents the interests of ordinary Americans. And perhaps the worst part of it all is that, by some unfathomable mutation of logic and understanding, the most ignorant and politically uninformed Americans tend to be the most vocal, the most opinionated, the most unwilling to bend. How can ever hope to make any progress when we’re surrounded by people who actually believe corporations help America, that taxing the rich is a bad thing, that offering universal health care is an unthinkable evil?
The sad truth is that things will have to become far, far worse before we can have any hope of them getting better.
My reply to this last part was:
How much worse can it get for many millions already hurting? I would like to think that there will be some measure of anger that will culminate into some mass citizen education and uprising. But, I cannot, for the life of me, understand just how bad it would need to get to overcome the brainwashing. I would have thought we would have met that critical mass already.
All of this takes me back to a current discussion on this post, where we have come to the real nut to cut: When do we hit the beach?
My personal opinion is that there is absolutely no way we could ever get enough people to understand, much less fight against the power-elite that own and control everything in this country, including the military and police forces. I believe that an armed revolt is simply mass suicide.
No, as I wrote in one of my responses, I believe we have a much better chance of unarmed revolution simply by not participating in the game any more. I believe that it would be infinitely easier to convince people of a non-violent revolution than a violent one, when critical mass is met. Sure, it might take even more hardships to get a mass of people to agree and participate, but like I said, I would have already thought we were there. I mean, I am hurting. Almost everyone I know is feeling the pain. How bad must it get before people wake up from their slumber and do what James Corbett suggests (and I have been, too, for quite some time) in his latest blog post:
The Only Way to Win the Game is Not to Play
When we pull back from the geopolitical grand chessboard we find that it is in fact one player, the global financial elite, playing both sides. Whether you root for black or white, the elite will win in the end. In the face of such a false choice, the only real choice is not to choose at all.
Surely we can’t condone the bombing of Libyan civilians, and it makes no sense to side with a brutal communist dictatorship that enforces one child policies with forced abortions and harvests the organs of its prisoners. So we must identify ourselves as not being on either side. Depending where we live, who we work for, and how we spend our money, we may be tied to one side or the other, whether financially or socially, but that does not mean that we must continue to give our allegiance to any of these global power players in their Machiavellian manipulations of the planet.
Although it may not be as fundamentally satisfying to us as human beings, geared as we are to confrontation and battle as a way of resolving our problems, the best thing we can do is in fact to ignore the big players all together, withdraw ourselves from their system, and begin constructing our own self-sufficient communities. Everyday we make a conscious decision of our own free will to shop at their stores, to bank at their banks, and to eat the foods they process in their factories. With changes in lifestyle, we can detach ourselves from all of their levers of control over our lives and at the exact same time starve their war machine of the funds and the support that it needs to function.
As others have pointed out time and again, every community garden, every farmer’s market, every solar panel, every community currency, every neighborhood mutual aid society is a monkey wrench in the plans for the global war and a nail in the coffin of the ambitions of the globalists.
Unhooking ourselves from the system that is oppressing us is not an easy task, nor will it be an overnight one, but it seems that time is running out before the elite manipulate us into another big war. The consequences of a third world war, doubtless a nuclear one, are horrific. The elite are hoping to bring about this conflict in order to create a new, further centralized, truly global system of government from the ashes of the old world order. But they need our support in order to do it.
Let’s not give it to them.
