America's House and Senate, just a couple of short weeks ago, passed a law that was denounced by The American People, where representatives and senators were receiving calls 50:50 against - 50% "No" and 50% "Hell No". In response, Wall Street banks employed spam-call-banks to "counter" this outpouring of public opinion and CEOs of Fortune 500 companies broke the law by sending out emails and other communications that essentially threatened their employees with loss of their job if they did not lobby for this horrible bill to be passed. The bill passed after Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke threatened Congress...

CONGRESS: THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! You are being asked to pass a $700 billion “bailout” or “rescue” package and are told by your leadership that it is “necessary” to prevent a catastrophe in the financial markets and, by extension, on Main Street. Please think carefully about the following facts before you vote: · Public opinion is running anywhere from 100:1 to 300:1 against passing this bill, according to sources on Capitol Hill. You must return home after you pass this package to ANGRY constituents with an election less than a month away. Given the massive size of this package, the...

Watch that video. Watch it twice, three times if you have to. Go look at the other video, and the other Ticker referenced in there. Now understand that there is no solution to this fast and vicious destruction of America's financial markets and financial companies until and unless the lying stops. It has NOT stopped and in fact has gotten materially worse. Folks, this meltdown will not stop until either: ALL financials mark everything to the market, ALL OTC derivatives are traded on an exchange or declared void, and ALL balance sheets are transparent so we can determine who is...

Arizona blacks: Where's McCain? By JONATHAN MARTIN | 4/8/08 4:38 AM EST Text Size: Oscar Tillman heads the Phoenix area branch of the NAACP and is a former statewide president of the group. He has been a leader of Arizona’s small, tight-knit African-American community for decades. So it comes as something of a surprise to learn the name of one person, over all those years, with whom he has never spoken. It is the state’s senior senator better known these days as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. John McCain, said Tillman, “has pretty well zero relationship with the African-American community...

OK, fellow Freepers, try not to throw your computer through the wall! Many apologies if this has been posted already, but I searched "Illegal Immigration", "Dobbs" and "Cohen & Grigsby" before posting this YouTube video; and just in case, I couldn't let this pass... This, IMHO, is the epitome of digusting, traitorous attorneys at work. This is a clip of a legal seminar on how to exclude qualified U.S. citizens from legitimate job postings in their own country. Who are these people!!!?!??!?! I have to say, that I am absolutely ashamed of the fact that I share the same hometown...

Michael Savage had a guest on his show on November 11, who had a classic description of the MSM. Jeffrey Babbin, a former DOD official, made the argument that the so-called "Mainstream Media", was not in fact "mainstream" at all, but rather an obsolete delivery system for news, much like an old 1985-era PC is an obsolete delivery system for computing power. Just like a "legacy system" computer, Babbin believed that "Legacy Media" was a more apt description of Rather, Brokaw, Jennings, The New York Times, et. al. This new description strips the old-line media of the now false impression...

Mugabe's loggers to ravage rainforest The army of Zimbabwe's despotic ruler will help to fell trees in 85m acres of Congo.

High-Tech Security on Tampa Streets The Associated Press Sunday, July 1, 2001; 5:22 p.m. EDT TAMPA, Fla. –– Tampa is using high-tech security cameras to scan the city's streets for people wanted for crimes, a law enforcement tactic that some liken to Big Brother. A computer software program linked to 36 cameras began scanning crowds Friday in Tampa's nightlife district, Ybor City, matching results against a database of mug shots of people with outstanding arrest warrants. European cities and U.S government offices, casinos and banks are already using the so-called face-printing system, but Tampa is the first American city to ...

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- Palm Beach County, Florida, officials said they expected at least 50 percent of about 462,000 presidential ballots cast in the predominantly Democratic county to be hand recounted by the end of today. Early this morning, county officials said 202 out of 531 precincts -- or about 38 percent -- have completed their hand recounts, which may or may not be included in Florida's final presidential tally. Officials tell CNN the precinct recount there has shown little change from Election Day results. Palm Beach: No 'big swing' "We have not noticed a big swing either ...
