Solving the Brutal Murder of a Prominent Orthopedic Surgeon and World Renowned Expert in Cancer Research

Dr. Mary Stults Sherman and the apartment building she was found murdered

Prominent orthopedic surgeon and world renowned expert in cancer research,  Dr. Mary Sherman (left) was brutally murdered on July 21, 1964 (the same day the Warren Commission started taking testimony on Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities in New Orleans) in her apartment building on St. Charles Avenue, in New Orleans. This 'assassination' remains officially unsolved--maybe because of the memo from J Edgar Hoover telling SAC-NO (Special Agent-in-charge of the New Orleans FBI office) that no active FBI investigation was to be conducted into the Mary Sherman murder--but there are some investigators and authors, in particular, Edward T. Haslam, author of Dr. Mary’s Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing Monkey Viruses are Linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK Assassination and Emerging Global Epidemics, and Mary, Ferrie and the Monkey Virus: Story of an Underground Medical Laboratory, who discovered the truth regarding this very strange murder and, believe it or not, the assassination of John F. Kennedy is closely intertwined. 

Dr. Sherman was stabbed in the heart, liver, arm, leg, and stomach, and her right arm and rib cage were completely incinerated, totally disintegrated, yet the hair on her head remained untouched. The incinerated body parts supposedly occurred due to a small mattress fire, but the investigators determined that the massive burns inflicted upon her could not have occurred in her apartment.  Of course, the details of her missing arm and ribs were not released to the public.  Moreover, the wound to the heart hemorrhaged but the wound to the liver did not, indicating that she was alive at the time of the heart wound but already dead by the time the wound to the liver was inflicted.

Who? What? Why?

The Bizarre and Strange Circumstances Surrounding the Death of JFK Jr.

Mostly taken from the documentary Dark Legacy II The Murder of JFK Jr.

The report of the National Transportation Safety Board came out on August 8, 2000 (on January 8, 2001, the NTSB removed their original posting, and greatly edited the contents of the report. The unedited original NTSB report, downloaded from the NSTB website in August of 2000, can be read at link), 13 months after the plane crash of JFK Jr.  It contradicts many of the lies pushed in the media.

Timeline:

On John’s fatal last Friday, he told his staff not to worry about their jobs, because, “As long as I’m alive, this magazine will continue to publish.” This would be a really cruel thing for a guy to say who was planning to kill himself in a few hours.

At 8:30, 45 minutes after arriving, John, his sister-in-law, and his wife took off from Caldwell Airport in NJ, and headed northeast toward Martha’s Vineyard ascending to a cruising altitude of 5,500 feet. An NTSB radar analysis shows the final moments of the flight in great detail.

At 9:33, the plane, still headed northeast, began descending from its cruising altitude of 5,500 feet.

At 9:38 the plane while still descending began a slight turn to the right so that it was headed due east, lining itself up with the southern coast of Martha’s Vineyard.

At 9:38 and and 20 seconds the plane completed the turn and stopped its descent, leveling off at 2200 feet. But it’s against FAA regulations for a plane to fly below 2,500 feet without first contacting the tower. So in a manner that’s typical of John’s carefulness and following procedures, he brought the plant back up to 2,500 feet.

At 9:38 and 50 seconds, with wings level, the plane was on final approach, with 14 miles to go to the airport. At 200 mph, the plane would land in about 5 minutes.

At 9:39 John contacted the tower.

At 9:40 and 15 seconds, one minute and 15 seconds later, the plane suddenly dove out of the sky, falling 2,500 feet in 45 seconds, crashing into the water at 200 mph.

At 10:00 Adam Budd (link is cached page because link was removed from Boston.com) reported the missing plane to the FAA.

“An employee of Martha's Vineyard Airport alerted federal aviation officials that John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane was unaccounted for nearly four hours before a phone call from a Kennedy family friend early Saturday morning triggered a massive air and sea search.

The first phone call - which cited Kennedy by name - prompted no action by the Federal Aviation Administration. It was made at 10:05 p.m. Friday, only 25 minutes after Kennedy's plane was lost on radar and presumably crashed into the ocean.

''Actually, Kennedy Jr.'s on board. He's, uh, they wanna know, uh, where he is,'' Adam Budd told an unidentified FAA employee at the Bridgeport Automated Flight Service Station.

Until the plane is found, there is no way to say if an earlier search would have made a difference in the survival chances of Kennedy, his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, or her sister, Lauren Bessette.

However, a transcript of Budd's call, obtained by the Globe, adds fuel to questions about whether the FAA responded as promptly as it should have, and as quickly as its own regulations specify, to concerns about Kennedy's missing plane.

FAA officials said they responded appropriately to the call.

''We've researched the matter and found the FAA was not told that the aircraft was overdue, or that there was any indication there was a problem or a cause for concern that would raise warning flags,'' said Eliot Brenner, a senior FAA spokesman.

Kennedy was flying to Martha's Vineyard to drop off Lauren Bessette, after which he planned to fly to Hyannis to attend the wedding of his cousin Rory Kennedy. A well-dressed couple with a child who had come to the airport to meet Lauren Bessette grew concerned when the plane did not arrive as expected by 10 p.m.

They sought help from Budd, 21, a Bridgewater State College student from Sharon, Mass. In a telephone interview last night, Budd said he is also a licensed pilot who has worked for the past month as a ramp attendant at the airstrip.

Budd said he first called the airport tower, but was told Kennedy's plane was not expected - Kennedy had filed no flight plan - and that it had made no radio contact.

Budd then called the FAA outpost in Bridgeport, Conn., a repository for flight plans that also provides pilots with weather information and notices about flight restrictions.

During his conversation with the unidentified FAA employee, Budd asked if the FAA could track an airplane. Budd said he was with airport operations at Martha's Vineyard, then mentioned Kennedy's name and provided two possible aircraft numbers for Kennedy's plane.

The employee questioned Budd repeatedly about who he was and where he was calling from. After Budd gave his name, the FAA employee asked if he was, in fact, with airport operations. He ultimately told Budd, ''We don't give this information out to people over the phone.''

At that point Budd gave up, saying, ''I'll just have 'em wait,'' and then, ''All right, it's no big deal.''

In the interview, Budd said the transcript tells only part of the story.

''You have to hear his tone of voice, because the guy was kind of rude to me, making me feel uncomfortable,'' he said. ''I've called before and they were happy to help me out. The guy might have been having a bad day or something. I don't know.''

Brenner, the FAA spokesman, said the problem with the tone was Budd's. ''There was no tone of concern in the voice or anything out of the ordinary,'' Brenner said. ''There needed to be some expression that this airplane is overdue.''

In the end, no action was taken until a 2:15 a.m. Saturday phone call from Carol Ratowell, a Kennedy family friend. Her call to the Coast Guard set in motion a multiagency search that began with calls to regional airports and officially became a search and rescue mission at 3:28 a.m.

Globe correspondent Jennifer Babson contributed to this report.

No search and rescue

Breaking news broadcasts at the time of the incident reported that there was final communication between the FAA and JFK Jr’s plane at the precise moment of 9:39 PM according to Petty Officer Todd Burgun from the Coast Guard base in Boston. This is absolutely consistent with the radar information from the NTSB that was used to reconstruct the last moments of the plane before it crashed therefore his report is credible, otherwise he could not have identified the exact minute that the plane was holding at 2,500 feet, waiting to get clearance from the tower before descending. He had to have gotten that information from FAA flight personnel in the tower at Martha’s Vineyard Airport.

This contact by JFK Jr. to the airport is very important for numerous reasons. Whenever you contact air traffic control, your particular radar blip is then entered into the FAA’s air traffic computer system. If anywhere on your flight path your plane should happen to descend below 100 feet, the computer will automatically set off an alarm at the FAA Traffic Control Facility. Therefore, as a result of Kennedy’s 9:39 contact with the tower, the computer should’ve set off a low altitude alarm in the FAA’s traffic control offices when the plane descended below 100 feet.

The FAA should’ve begun the search at 9:40 when this low altitude alarm went off. They knew before the plane hit the water. FAA regulations require that a search commence anytime a plane contacts the tower on its final approach and then fails to land within 5 minutes. As a result of JFK Jr’s contact with the tower,, the FAA also should’ve begun a search at 9:44 when JFK Jr’s plane failed to land.

How long did it take the FAA to begin a focused search... searching the approaches to the Martha Vineyard’s airport?

15 ½ HOURS!

The cover up:

The information containing JFK Jr’s contact with the FAA was disappeared. At 12:30 Burgun was removed/silenced from any further reports of any kinds. In fact, all government agencies went silent and reporters were referred to the Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steven Roark.

The report from Todd Burgun wasn’t the only on-the-scene reporting that disappeared from the news by the Pentagon. According to the Pentagon the families of both JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette waited 4 hours to report them missing. Total lie! Friends of Lauren Bessette, Carolyn’s sister, were waiting at the airport and when the plane didn’t land at around 10:00, quickly reported it to the FAA officials, who did nothing.

One hour later, at 11 PM Senator Edward Kennedy contacted the FAA to let them know the plane was missing. The FAA officials did nothing.

Since the FAA refused to act, at 2:15 AM a family friend, Carol Radziwill, contacted the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard contacted the FAA. The FAA then contacted the Air Force who told the Coast Guard that they were in charge and sent the Coast Guard on a wild goose chase, to search an area 100 miles away from anywhere the plane may have gone down.

Linda Killian from People Magazine questioned Lt. Col. Steve Roark, the director of the U.S. Air Force's National Search and Rescue School at the time and former director of the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, on TV about the time discrepancy regarding official notification of the missing plane. Raw uninterrupted static cut her off before she could even finish the question. This question never got answered and never got asked again and never got any mention in any media outlet.

At 6:30 AM Ted Kennedy woke up John Podesta, Clinton’s Chief of Staff. At 7:00 AM, Podesta woke up Clinton. At 7:15, Clinton told Podesta to call the Air Force and warn them if they didn’t have a search underway in 15 minutes, they shouldn’t bother to come to work Monday morning because they would all be fired, if they weren’t in jail.

So the Air Force scattered two planes and two helicopters across 20,000 square miles of ocean. The Air Force kept them searching this vast expanse for the next five and a half hours.

Of course, there were honest employees at the FAA who did their job, one of which is to perform what is called an “N-Tap” radar analysis. An “N-Tap” goes back to take-off, starting with the plane identifying itself to the tower, giving its “N number” its registration number, in this case, N529JK. The plane’s radar blip is identified at take-off. And this particular blip is then followed along its flight path until it disappears, indicating the crash site. The New York Times said this report was available at 5 AM.

When Col. Roark was asked why he his search was scattered all over the Atlantic, when the “N-Tap” report was available 8 hours earlier, pinpointing the location of crash, he said he would continue on the same track, stating that “we have nothing that absolutely pinpoints to one area as opposed to another, so we can’t rule out the entire flight.” When asked again about the radar position of the crash site, Roark lied and said it was just a “possible” position.

Moreover, all civil aircraft are required to carry an emergency beacon, an ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter), which are crash activated. The ELT sends out a signal that is received by a network of satellites that can instantly locate the crash within a matter of a few feet. 

In other words, the FAA knew where JFK Jr's plane went down before it hit the water.  But, it wasn't until 1:00 the next afternoon when Lauren Bessette's suitcase washed up on shore that the Coast Guard was able to focus on something remotely near the crash site.

JFK Jr was a careful and conscientious pilot, who did file a flight plan and who always flew his relatively new plane with a flight instructor as he was working on his instrument rating, not to mention his injured ankle.   He was not the careless, irresponsible daredevil that the media portrayed.  JFK Jr had a 17 year record--more than 300 hours--of careful, meticulous adherence to safety procedures.

Missing Pieces:

Where did the backup battery--necessary to preserve the last few words of the pilot on the radio and in the cockpit--to the cockpit voice recorder go?

Who was JFK Jr talking to minutes before he took off?  What as he talking about?  But it's missing despite the fact that it's supposed to be in the NTSB report.

Where is the aquamarine duffel that JFK Jr kept his flight log, which records who was on the plane?

What about the flight instructor who was reported--by family friend, Carol Radziwill--to be on the plane taken from the earliest statements after the crash? JFK Jr never flew his new plane without a flight instructor.  Later on, "the family" reported the flight instructor was not on the plane and that JFK Jr didn't even have a license to pilot the plane that crashed, when he most certainly did.

So who is this person identifying themselves as "the family" and spreading lies?  
Arnold Schwarzenegger, perhaps?



And where did the missing airplane seat go? Portions of five of the six seats were recovered. Could it be the reason for the delayed search?  They had to recover the body of the flight instructor who wasn't on the plane according to unreliable or coerced sources?

Assassination of JFK: Could it be Overlapping Agendas By Multiple Players?

Will America ever learn the truth of what happened that tragic day, 50 years ago? No, at least not in our lifetime, because, increasingly, reporting the truth, and/or the pursuit of truth is considered treason. History is handed down to us by the privileged classes, who are not only its authors, but the keeper of all important records. They, the privileged class, keep us immobilized as citizens by creating and maintaining a state of confusion where anything can be believed but nothing can be known for sure. That's precisely the kind of environment that was created right after the assassination of JFK.

Desipte the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collections Act of 1992,  there are more than 50,000 pages of documents regarding the assassination in the national archives yet to be released solely because the CIA doesn't want them released. So should we automatically assume the CIA killed John F. Kennedy? Not entirely. Remember that state of confusion they like to create? Well, there were plenty of different factions of government, industry, and even amongst nations, who had "good" reason, albeit, different reasons, for wanting Kennedy dead. You see, JFK was killed in order to change the direction of the nation on more than a few important policies.

The CIA, no doubt, had plenty of reason.  They were furious over Kennedy pulling the plug on the Bay of Pigs, for the firing of Allen Dulles, for threatening to destroy the agency completely, not to mention, his strong desire to end the Vietnam war. Then you have those pesky Texas oil billionaires who did not like Kennedy’s policy concerning oil depletion allowance.  Then you have organized crime who believed Kennedy had betrayed them after all the help they had given him to get elected. And what about Israel, who was furious that Kennedy refused to allow them to acquire nuclear weapons? And finally, members of the Federal Reserve who were very angry over Kennedy’s executive order 11110, which put $4.5 billion in currency into circulation to power commerce without accruing interest to the private central bank. In other words, re-established the Treasury’s power to print money. The assassination occurred 5 months after JFK signed EO 11110.

Executive Order 11,110

AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289 AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows:

Section 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is hereby further amended-

By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph (j): (j) The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12,1933, as amended (31 U.S.C.821(b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denomination of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption and—

By revoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof. Sec. 2. The amendments made by this Order shall not affect any act done, or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not been made.

John F. Kennedy

The White House, June 4, 1963.

When you have overlapping agendas by multiple powerful institutional self-interests, they will all cooperate to make it happen, and that is exactly what happened.  Though we'll probably never know the details, the truth is that all of these powers contributed, either directly or indirectly, in a very compartmentalized operation (need-to-know basis), giving everyone involved plausible deniability concerning both the assassination plot and subsequent coverup.

In the following videos, Peter Janney, author of Mary's Mosaic: The CIA Conspiracy to Murder John F. Kennedy, Mary Pinchot Meyer, and Their Vision for World Peace, whose father was a high-level CIA official involved in the death of JFK's mistress (the last two yeras of his life), Mary Pinochot Meyer, reveals "hidden facts and dark official secrets" which resulted in the assassination and cover up of JFK, not to mention, the subsequent assassination of the love of his life. 

“Vulnerability isn't necessarily a sign of weakness. Very often, it's the emerging strength of a healing heart crying out for connection. - Peter Janney,

Exiled Former Black Panther Assata Shakur’s Elevation to Number One Domestic Terrorist on the FBI List?

One must ask the question, why--especially in light of COINTELPRO repression, the FBI's counterintelligence program's effect on black leadership and their terrorism in the black community--since 2005, did the FBI double the $1 million bounty on exiled former Black Panther Assata Shakur’s head, naming her the number one domestic terrorist? Assata's a 60+ year old grandmother and this event--the killing of New Jersey officer--occurred forty years ago! Why, so many years later, are they putting former political activist, Assata Shakur in the limelight?  Why are they bringing this old issue back into the public eye?

And then, the mysterious death of Malcolm X's 28-year old grandson, Malcolm Shabazz in Mexico, where he was to meet with labor organizers, and who, much like his grandfather, was outspoken about the mistreatment of African Americans in the US. and who, much like his grandfather, has been maligned in the press, in the grandson's case, for his troubled past, in particular, an unfortunate incident that he was, indeed, responsible for when he was 12-years old, but an incident that he already paid the price.  Moreover, like his grandfather, he was constantly monitored by the U.S. government.  Back in February, Shabazz was arrested by the FBI on unknown charges while en route to Iran to attend the Hollywoodism International Conference. Shabazz released a lengthy statement via former U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney's Facebook page back in March addressing the arrest and stating that federal agents were not involved.

I sincerely appreciate the care and concern of the People over my well-being after Press TV’s report of the most recent events which have transpired regarding the F.B.I.’s harassment of me.

Given the storm of lies, and half-truths that come with being associated with being the descendant of El Hajj Malik el Shabazz, also known as Minister Malcolm X, any and everything that I do; great or small, good or not so good, real or imagined is subject to controversy. However, in this missive I will take this opportunity to properly and fully disclose what transpired.

In the beginning of 2012 I had been informed that I was under investigation by the F.B.I.’s Counter Terrorism Task Force Unit located in Goshen, N.Y.

The agents of this division-and in collaboration with others-have visited several residences of which I was known by them to frequent. However, they would never come when they knew me to actually be there. They would leave their cards with the residents asking them to tell me to call them, and then would tell surrounding residents to observe the house and to notify them if they saw me.

These are the homes of long-time friends, and very close supporters. Yet, when federal agents begin knocking on someone’s door on multiple occasions to snoop, and ask questions, whether one is guilty of an offense or not, it’s enough to coerce people into distancing themselves from you. This cheap tactic employed by the F.B.I. is a means of agitation and harassment. They seek to neutralize my networking abilities.

They have visited locations in California, Chicago, Miami and most aggressively in New York.

People were advising me that if I had nothing to hide, then I should just contact them as requested and cooperate. Though I must say that in these kind of matters I am of a particular ethic. For one, I have been engaged in no criminal activity of their concern, and they could have located me if they so chose. Secondly, I don’t recognize the authority in them beckoning me.

It wasn’t even until my mother informed me that they had been contacting her that I truly became agitated. She advised me to see what they had to say, and so I obliged the next time they came around looking for me. My encounter was with 2 federal agents of Goshen, N.Y.’s Counter Terrorism Task Foci Unit. The primary agent identified himself as Special Agent Tom Brozicky.

They expressed concern over-as they put it-my “international travels”; I have lived and studied in Damascus, Syria for over a year, and now the U.S. is instigating conflict within the very same region; I went on ex-congresswoman/former presidential candidate Cynthia Mckinney’s delegation along with Dr. Randy Short to Libya, and met with Leader Muammar Gadhafi one week prior to N.A.T.O. intervention and I was most recently getting ready to travel to Tehran, Iran to be a participant of the International Fajr Film Festival and give a lecture addressing the issues of Hollywood and violence:

- Modern Violence and Terrorism,
- Provoking clashes between religions and populations

I was picked up by authorities after I filed for a visa to Iran, and 2 days prior to my departure. A detective squad from the City of Middletown Police Department surrounded me in the street about 2 blocks from where I was residing. They asked me my name, and I gave them an alias, but they were already well aware of who I actually was. I didn’t tell them my real name because I didn’t know what was going on. When I was brought before a Judge of City of Middletown court I was surprised to be informed that I was being charged with Grand Larceny, and False Impersonation charge. Then I was sent to jail, and told to appear again 7 days later. Then following court date the bogus charge of Grand Larceny, which they only put to justify stopping me in first place, was dropped. And they left me to face the False Impersonation. I was offered 90 days for the offense of giving the authorities the wrong name which I declined before bailing out after 2 weeks.

When I was being held within the belly of the beast on trumped up charges, to my rescue came the journalist at Press TV based in Iran. My relationship with powerful and progressive news outfit began in April of 2012, and prior to that I had discussions with their journalist regarding current events internationally. I developed a positive rapport with some of them, and as a result was invited to travel to Iran to discuss the impact of Hollywood in stereotyping Muslims, Iranians and African people. From January 15th through 18th, 2013, I was a featured interviewee for the Press TV documentary “The Façade of the American Dream”. And prior to my date of departure to Iran, Lifetime television released a television bio-picture called “Betty and Coretta” which was a sensationalistic misrepresentation of my grandparents, my mother and me. This film aside from being poorly acted, and shallow in depth also threatened to inflame old controversies, and open unhealed wounds and to remind the public of sad outcomes without ever identifying B.O.S.S.I., the C.I.A., F.B.I. and other forces that set the climate for my grandfather’s assassination, and made my family a long-suffering casualty of COINTELPRO, and other anti-Black repression programs. Naturally, anything done to stir up old hatred of The Shabazz Family will impact me as the name-sake, and first male heir of Malcolm X, and whether I am high or low in fortunes does not exempt me from this reality.

The formula for a public assassination is: the character assassination before the physical assassination; so one has to be made killable before the eyes of the public in order for their eventual murder to then deemed justifiable. And when the time arrives for these hits to be carried out you’re not going to see a C.I.A. agent with a suit and tie, and a badge that says “C.I.A.” walk up to someone, and pull the trigger. What they will do is to out-source to local police departments in the region of their target, and to employ those that look like the target of interest to infiltrate the workings in order to set up the environment for the eventual assassination (character, physical/incarceration, exile) to take place.

For several months prior to my arrest in late January, 2013 I faced a pattern of harassment from law enforcement which is usually reserved for important figures. On Thursday, November 1, 2012 @ 11:53pm in the park circle area of Middletown, N.Y. I was stopped by officers of the Middletown Police Department, and given a ticket for “J-Walking” (crossing in the middle of the street), which then escalated into a “Disorderly Conduct” supposedly because of the exchange of words that I had with the officers. I told them that they couldn’t possibly be serious for writing me a “J-Walking ticket”, that I didn’t appreciate how they were treating me and that they

shouldn’t be looking at me as less of a man because they were in police uniform. For this I was arrested, the officers stole the little amount of money that I had on me, they then stripped me and threw me in a freezing precinct cell for the remainder of that early morning. I was finally taken before the “Judge Steven Brockett” around 1:30pm. He gave me an unreasonable bail, and then ordered that I be remanded to the Orange county Jail.

This penalty may seem a bit extreme or harsh to most of you, but here is where it gets worse: On Tuesday, October 30th, exactly 2 nights prior to this incident, the same officer “J Berman” who wrote me the ticket for “J-Walking” and “Disorderly Conduct” stopped me coming from out of a store in the same area, and questioned me as to what I was doing.

I told him that I was coming out of the store. He asked to see what I bought which was a pack of sun flower seeds. I had actually just so happened to be eating a few while he was talking to me, and I spit one of the shells on the ground. At this point officer “J Berman” threatened to write me a ticket for littering. Needless to say, I was dumbfounded, but I went home that night.

Yet, it still doesn’t even begin there. I had an encounter with other officers of the Midletown Police Department one week prior to officer “J Berman’s” threats to write me a ticket for spitting a sun flower seed on the ground: I was coming out of a restaurant with my mother, and her friend. As the 3 of us entered the car to leave 2 police cars converged on our vehicle, and boxed us in. My mother was petrified. With guns drawn I was then ordered to step out of the back seat. I asked them why to which they replied that I had several warrants for my arrest. I told them that they were mistaken, but I still complied with their request. Humiliated in front of all on-lookers I was then thrown on the car while the officers ripped through my pockets. After they were done they said that it was my lucky day because I actually didn’t have any warrants at all, and so I was free to go! One of these officer’s name was “R. Ribeiro”…

You may wonder if it could possibly get any worse than this. Well, it does! Approximately 3 weeks prior to the public humiliation of my mother, and me by “R Ribeiro” and another officer of the Middletown Police Department I found myself subject to the discrimination and prejudice of Mayor Joseph M. Destefano of Middletown, N.Y. himself. A friend, and I went out to eat at a restaurant in Middletown, N.Y. which is owned by the Mayor, and to our

surprise he appeared from nowhere and asked us to leave. When we inquired as to why he stated that officials of the Middletown Police Department told him not to let us patronize his establishment. Mind you that this goes without incident.

As I stand for the people, God-Willing, I would pray that the same people wouldn’t hesitate to stand for me. If these unjust and heinous actions are tolerated and allowed to be done to me without recourse, then no one is safe. Just as Huewy P Newton of the Black Panther Party stated that police are in the white community to protect and serve, yet occupy ours like a foreign troop… I tell you that we shouldn’t fall victim to the conditioning of feeling inferior or fearful at the presence of law enforcement for no apparent reason.

With that being said, I was not arrested by federal agents. I was taken in by a squad from the City of Middletown, N.Y.’s Police Department. I was not being held in an “undisclosed location” so to speak. I was actually being held in the Orange County Jail in Goshen, N.Y. However, from the time that I was booked at the precinct, to standing before a Judge the next day who told me to come back in 7 more, to being processed at the Orange County Jail and up until 7 days later I was not permitted to make any calls to notify anyone of my status; as though I had just been kidnapped from of the street.

Unfortunately, until this day my family hasn’t been fully abreast of my situation as I haven’t had the opportunity to properly consult with any of them. Dr. Randy Short who notified Press TV of my situation is a close comrade of mine who was on our delegation in Libya. Media reports from Press TV about my situation were not intended to create controversy. In reality, I have a few associates that are affiliated with this reputable International media outlet, and they had expected to meet with me in Iran. So when I disappeared, and rumors spread, the inability to get concise information from a credible source prompted them to rouse public attention on my behalf, for which I am grateful. In April of 2012 I had the opportunity to be a guest analyst/contributor on Press TV. This network has a large following all over the world, and millions find it’s news, documentaries and programming to be both an educational, and insightful alternative to the conglomerated, and highly biased mainstream American and British news media. Regarding the Source magazine, nothing that they published was vetted by me, and was made by persons, at best, vaguely familiar with my situation. Further, I have never had an affiliation or relationship with The Source, nor have they ever directly consulted with me about anything. -- Malcolm X's 28-year old grandson, Malcolm Shabazz

From Miguel Suarez:

"To who responds, I am Miguel Suarez, leader of a labor movement in the United States and I am accompanied by Malcolm X’s grandson. His name is Malcolm Shabazz and he wanted to see if it is possible to to speak and publish our history in their [publication]…what we saw in Mexico City."[..]He was murdered. He was in Mexico City and I believe they attempted to rob him and he didn’t allow it, so they beat him to death and he died on his way to the hospital,” said Ruiz. “This is all I can confirm, everything else is under investigation for the meantime.”

Regarding the Assata Shakur issue, Dhoruba bin Wahad, former Black Panther and co-founder of the Black Liberation Army claims that domestic law enforcement--FBI, Department of Homeland Security, etc.-- is at odds with Obama. Why?  President Obama's agenda to "reemphasize economic development and economic cooperation" in Latin America, in particular Cuba, and that will require covertly deconstructing the Cuba embargo and to "co-opt and counter the effects of the new so-called leftist geopolitics there".  In order to make this possible, the extraordinarily profitable--to domestic law enforcement--"war on drugs" will have to take a back seat, which probably means a substantial loss of funding.    The US is reasserting dominance in a post Castro-Chavez Latin America as the geo-economic center for Latin American nations.  Dhourba bin Wahad claims that “the recent Jay-Z/Beyonce trip was about opening up Cuba” to U.S. tourism, “to disrupt and undo the Cuban revolution.”  In other words, he believes that Shakur’s elevation to number one domestic terrorist on the FBI list “represents the disgruntlement of U.S. law enforcement” with this  new approach towards Latin America.

There is no doubt that Assata Shakur is a pawn in the chess game of US imperial diplomacy, but this the only explanation? Hardly.

"Assata Shakur could not have been named “most wanted terrorist” without the explicit approval of the first black president and his attorney general. In doing so, they have declared open war on the black liberation movement, something that J. Edgar Hoover and COINTELPRO were only able to do in secret. [snip]

Forty years later though, we live in the era of secret kidnappings, regular torture, ghost prisons and executive branch murder by drones or special ops teams. Today the federal Department of Homeland Security funds counter-terrorism fusion centers which openly disseminate the kind of inflammatory and fanciful disinformation to local police and security contractors about those the government wants targeted that J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI agents had to come around and whisper in their ears. Now that is progress.-- Bruce Dixon

Here's another take:



One thing for sure, putting Assata on the Top 10 Most Wanted Terrorist list will keep Cuba on the state sponsors of terror list, along with Iran, Sudan, and Syria, and somehow, I doubt President Obama objects.

Anatomy of a Massive Cover Up at the Highest Levels.

An inquest of an inquest:

The following documentary asks these questions:

Was it pure coincidence that Diana told people she would be deliberately killed in a car crash?

Why did the CCTV cameras along the route apparently fail to record anything?

Were the driver's blood samples tampered with to make him appear wildly drunk even though he seemed to be sober?

Why were Diana's phone calls being bugged by the secret service?

Who was driving the white Fiat Uno who may have caused the crash?

And last but certainly not least, why weren't the press more suspicious?

The unelected extended family of extremely wealthy aristocratic free-loaders, the Royals, like to present themselves as a benign and freedom loving tradition, thanks mostly to their highly paid establishment sycophants who wouldn't dare cross them. Wouldn't dare cross them?  Wait.  I thought the royals were figureheads whose birthright is upheld only to entertain and charm the masses with their quaint pageantry.

Not true.  I mean, the Queen has the power to unseat an elected Prime Minister.  That's right. According to the Constitution, all public power (executive, legislative and judicial) is created and commanded by the Queen. She has the power to: dismiss and appoint a Prime Minister (she may choose a Prime Minister of her own choice, though nominally she appoints the individual most capable of commanding the House of Commons); to dismiss and appoint other ministers; to summon, prorogue and dissolve Parliament; to grant or refuse Royal Assent to bills (making them valid and law; to commission officers in the Armed Forces; to command the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom; to appoint members to the Queen's Council; to issue and withdraw passports; to grant Prerogative of mercy (though Capital Punishment is abolished, this power is still used to remedy errors in sentence calculation); to grant honors; to create corporations via Royal Charter. She also has the power to shape foreign policy by: the power to ratify and make treaties; to declare War and Peace; to deploy the Armed Forces overseas; to recognize states; to credit and receive diplomats. Does that sound benign, or as if the Queen's merely a figurehead to you?

Which brings us to the car "accident" that killed Princess Diana, her driver, and her betrothed, Dodi Fayed. It was just after midnight, on August 31, 1997, that the much celebrated couple and their driver, Henri Paul, left the Paris Ritz in a Mercedes and then proceeded to crash into a concrete pillar in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel, ten years later, leading to the largest, most sensational inquest in British history. Hundreds of witnesses were called.

"Whether you think it's an accident or murder, it was chillingly convenient for the Windsors that Diana died when she did."

Before continuing to read, keep in mind that there is no doubt that the media had already reached their verdict long before the inquest started, while at the same time, declaring it a waste of time and money. Many media organizations, including the BBC,  sent their royal reporters to cover it, rather than their legal ones. Even though Diana was no longer a royal at the time of her death After all, their job is to suck up to the palace and present the royals in a favorable light.

The French report of the "accident" was kept secret. The British report was riddled with contradictions. Several coroners came and went when attempts to hold the inquiry without a jury was finally overturned.

The inquest was held at the Royal Family's own court,  Royal Courts of Justice.  So is it any wonder that the royal representative in charge, the so called "judge", or coroner as it's called in the court system, in this case, Lord Justice Scott Baker, who has sworn an oath of allegiance to the Queen, has already decided that the key royal suspects need not even appear at the inquest in order to be questioned?

From the outset, it was clear that the coroner was on the side of the establishment, which is not surprising considering he is a part of it. He led the jury in the direction of it being an accident, despite the fact that right from the start, the circumstances surrounding the crash were very suspicious. Within minutes after the crash, the French police allowed a road sweeping van to wash away all of the evidence. That's exactly what the Pakistan police did on December 27, 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan after Benezir Bhuto was assassinated.

Moreover, less than one day after the accident, the French authorities leaked a story to the press that this was an accident and that the driver was "dunk as a pig" before the blood test results were even complete. Later it came out that he only consumed two Ricards, one-quarter the alcohol the French authorities claimed.

The coroner even prevented the jurors from knowing the state of the relationship between Dodi and Diana. Prince Philip's very hostile letters to the Princess were redacted, or "censored into incomprehensibility." One witness, Simone Simmons, a friend of Diana, received a gag order, stating she could not mention these letters. She was not the only one to receive one. Makes you wonder how many people were paid off to stay silent.

In the days/weeks/months leading up to her murder, Princess Dianna and her affair with Dodi Fayed plastered the tabloid headlines, speculating on possible marriage, baby, etc. Diana said,

"The most daunting aspect was of the media attention, that I seemed to be on the front of the newspaper every single day, and the higher the media puts you...place you, the bigger the drop."

The inquest exploited this prior media frenzy for all it was worth by devoting several weeks to a minute investigation of her period, contraceptives and her sexual habits. Was she, in fact, impregnated by Dodi. It was as if the establishment wanted to de-mythologize her in the eyes of ordinary people.

Diana died after arriving at the hospital and although having been stripped of her royal status in life, in death, her corpse mysteriously became royal property. Within hours, royal representatives had given orders for her body to be partially embalmed, a process that conveniently made it impossible for anyone to tell if she had been pregnant.

What's more, Diana's attorney gave a sworn statement from Diana, predicting her death in a car "accident"--devastating evidence about Diana's security--and handed it over to Police Commissioner Condon (1993-2000) who concealed it for three years, who then passed it on to his replacement, Stevens, who concealed it for another 3 years. Both were made Lords by the queen for their good work.

Another thing, Diana habitually wore a seat belt with the exception of that fateful night when she sat in the rear right seat. Why? Well, when the car was subsequently examined by a crash expert on behalf of Metropolitan police , the rear right seat belt was found to be defective, "jammed in the retracted position because part of the integral mechanism had become displaced." Had it been tampered with? And why wasn't the inquest told about this?

Now most people still blame the paparazzi for causing the "accident", however, it was clearly demonstrated that they were not involved. While it's true some of the paparazzi outside the hotel set off in hot pursuit, they never caught up. Their scooters and motorcycles were unable to keep up with the much more powerful car. Police evidence given at the inquest confirmed, by the time the Mercedes entered the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel all the pursuing paparazzi had been left far behind.

Yet several witnesses had seen several motorcycles and a white Fiat Uno surrounding the Mercedes, along with several motorcycles, and blocking its progress as it entered the tunnel. They saw a very bright flash and then saw the white fiat collide with the Mercedes, which then lost control and crashed headfirst into a concrete pillar. Who was driving the other vehicles?? Because the paparazzi had been excluded after a very close analysis of all the known paparazzi who were on duty that night and they could all be accounted for.

What about the infamous cameras embedded all over the UK? Well, the always on CCTV at the entrance of the tunnel was conveniently switched off when Dodi and Diana's car entered its underground passage. But too many witnesses identified the car, and motorcycles, not to mention, the paint from the white Fiat Uno was found on the Mercedes. So who was driving this car? It's believed that James Andanson, a millionaire photographer, who owned a white Fiat Uno, connected to intelligence, and who was not present at the hotel when Diana and Dodi left, drove the car. Also, he gave contradictory alibis. Moreover, in the year 2000, Andanson's body was found in the trunk of a burned up car with two bullet holes in his skull, and no keys to be found anywhere. Despite those facts, the authorities declared it a suicide. Really? He drove the car without keys, shot himself in the head, twice! and then set the car on fire.

What about the "drunken pig" of a driver, Henri Paul?

Well, if he was really a chronic alcoholic, this would've been diagnosed during the stringent medical evaluation he underwent three days before the crash while renewing his pilot's license...that he passed with flying colors. So why wasn't the doctor who gave him a clean bill of health at the inquest or questioned by the police. In fact, Police Commissioner Stevens (2000-20006) stated to Paul's parents that Henri Paul was not drunk and that he was driving at a lower speed than indicated in the French proceedings.

Six weeks later, after Paul's parents testified at the inquest, Police Commissioner Stevens published a report that Paul was drunk. Henri Paul's residence was searched twice by the French Police. The first time, all that was found was an unopened bottle of champagne and a quarter bottle of a martini which hardly supports the claim that he was an alcoholic. So the police returned a few days later, and this time they found enough alcohol to stock an entire bar!

Here's another thing. The coroner at the inquest said Paul had no links to the security services. But Paul's bank accounts show that he received 349,800 French francs (34,980 pounds) during the final months of his life, mostly by checks. But the inquest never investigated who wrote those checks, nor investigated the transactions on his five credit cards, not to mention his mobile phone records.

That's not all. An autopsy was carried out by Dr. Dominique Lecomte, a doctor notorious in France for covering up medical evidence that would be embarrassing to the state. She committed 58 basic errors during the autopsy. Not only were her results inept, but "biologically inexplicable" as well. Every scientist involved in the inquest signed a joint statement stating that the blood test results for Henri Paul were "biologically inexplicable". There was a good chance that the blood samples were not even from Henri Paul.

But both doctors--Lecomte and Papal--did not attend the inquest even though as citizens of the European Union, they were legally obliged to. They were protected by the French government, who publicly sighted reasons of public order for their refusal, however the real reason was protection of state secrets in the essential interests of the nation.

In 2006, a team of scientists offered to do a DNA analysis of the blood samples to determine if they were in fact, from Henri Paul. The French government told them the samples no longer exist.

And what about the 3 hours and 41 minutes it took to get Princess Diana to the hospital? While Dodi Fayed and Henri Paul died instantly, and the bodyguard Trevor Reese was seriously injured, Diana was still conscious and alert. It was Dr Jean-Marc Martino, an emergency specialist who oversaw the Princess's treatment from shortly after the crash, who made a series of bizarre decisions that sealed her fate. It took an astonishing 37 minutes after the crash for Dr. Martino to remove the still conscious Diana from the Mercedes to the ambulance. The back of the car was undamaged, so there is no excuse for the delay. Then, it took an extraordinary 81 minutes for the ambulance to set off for the hospital, and another inexplicable 1 hour and 43 minutes for the ambulance to travel the three miles of empty roads to finally arrive at the hospital!

At the inquest, experts agreed that Diana's life could've been saved if not for the suspiciously slow and furtive actions of Dr. Martino and his crew.

But, why would anyone, let alone the powerful secret services of France, Britain and America want Diana dead? The secret services would never kill anyone, right? After all, Richard Dearlove, head of British Intelligence in 1997 calmly announced we have never killed anyone in the last 50 years. But Richard Tomlinson, a former MI6 agent gave testimony at the inquest by video link in France that contradicted that absurd statement. He couldn't come to Britain because if he had he would've been arrested. Tomlinson "outlined the execution of an assassination of a Serbian leader--Milosevic-- that involved arranging a car "accident" in a tunnel by flashing a very "bright flashing strobe gun to disorient Milosevec's chauffeur while the cavalcade passed into the tunnel. The advantage of a tunnel crash that there would be fewer incidental witnesses and greater chance of fatality." Sound familiar?

But, still, why would they want to kill Diana? Perhaps, it was her campaign to ban land mines. On January 15, 1997 Diana visited Angola to partake in the greatest photo opportunity the campaign had ever had, followed up in February 1997, by a photo op in Bosnia. Afterwards, she received a call from a British government defense minister who threatened her saying not to meddle in things she doesn't understand, and that accidents happen.

All of her calls were being monitored by British and American secret service. The Americans finally admitted to having over 1200 pages of transcripts in a National Security Council report, dated, January 5. 1999. Her campaign was clearly infuriating the armaments industry

Then, less than three weeks after the crash, the OSLO meeting in Norway, September 19, 1997 began. With Diana out of the way, most of the press didn't even bother attending. And Bill Clinton was the only western leader who voted AGAINST the ban on landmines, something he would've had a hard time doing if he had to look in Diana's eyes.

The only senior representative of the royal household to appear at the inquest was Sir Robert Fellowes, the Queen's private secretary. On Day 68 of the inquest, he stated that he was not at the palace before, during or after Diana's death because he was on vacation. Really?

In The Blair Years: The Alastair Campbell Diaries, Campbell writes of contact with Robert Fellowes from August 31 through September 5, 1997, proving Richard Fellowes was not on vacation and at the very center of Diana's funeral arrangements, overseeing her burial throughout the week.  Diana described Fellowes as one of the men that she fears. She said "he hates me and will do anything he can to get me out of the royals." Sir Robert Fellowes was made a lord in 1998 for his good work.

So why weren't the press more suspicious? Well, journalists have to answer to their editors who must answer to their proprietors, and in the UK, they all want knighthoods. The upshot is that most journalists are instinctively pro-establishment, therefore all to willing to believe the official story of Dianas's death even though it does not make any sense. It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding something.

In conclusion, there is no doubt that the entire inquest was skillfully manipulated by powerful unelected forces to the advantage of the royal family. This could only happen because Britain is, in essence, a monarchy, not a democracy. Much of Britain still operates on a system of unelected power, and its center are the Windsors, the old aristocracy and their vast wealth. Just as in medieval times British royalty live a life of unfettered privilege, the British taxpayers funding their lavish existence, officially 40 million pounds, unofficially, much, much more.

Why Was President Obama's Seemingly Important Press Release Ignored by Mainstream Media?

On November 21, while aboard Air Force One, President Obama dictated a press release that has been virtually ignored by the Western Press. He announced that the White House was going to investigate and mitigate the possible systematic infiltration of violent traitors within the executive branch. According to Senior editor of Veterans Today, Gordon Duff, "There is, currently, within the U.S. military, the Executive branch of government and among extremist "power brokers" in America an active plot to "alter" America's form of government through "decapitation"

From the White House:

"Presidential Memorandum -- National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES

SUBJECT: National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs

This Presidential Memorandum transmits the National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs (Minimum Standards) to provide direction and guidance to promote the development of effective insider threat programs within departments and agencies to deter, detect, and mitigate actions by employees who may represent a threat to national security. These threats encompass potential espionage, violent acts against the Government or the Nation, and unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including the vast amounts of classified data available on interconnected United States Government computer networks and systems.

The Minimum Standards provide departments and agencies with the minimum elements necessary to establish effective insider threat programs. These elements include the capability to gather, integrate, and centrally analyze and respond to key threat-related information; monitor employee use of classified networks; provide the workforce with insider threat awareness training; and protect the civil liberties and privacy of all personnel.

The resulting insider threat capabilities will strengthen the protection of classified information across the executive branch and reinforce our defenses against both adversaries and insiders who misuse their access and endanger our national security.

BARACK OBAMA

Or, as one commenter [to the Duff article], Kathryn, said, is this "a government smokescreen to arrest more 'Bradley Mannings'?" In other words, is this another smokescreen to continue the war on whistle blowers? Shielding the real enemy to America, to humanity: the power elite?

Is the US Terrorizing Pakistan with Assassination Drones?

Despite the fact that we're not at war with Pakistan, the US regularly uses drones for attacks on Pakistan's tribal regions, claiming the airstrikes target al-Qaeda and Taliban militants, but locals, and official reports say civilians are the main victims of the assaults.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's chief counter-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, has defended the non-UN-sanctioned CIA assassination drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal regions, calling them legal and ethical, and needed to save American lives.  Really? .

The US resumed its drone operations in Pakistan in recent weeks after it halted the strikes in November 2011, when 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in NATO airstrikes at two checkpoints on the Afghan border.

US Drone Kills 16-Year-Old Pakistani Boy 3 Days After He Attends Anti-Drone Planning Meeting :

A group of Pakistanis met in Islamabad late last month to discuss the impact of U.S. drone strikes in their communities. One of the attendees was a 16-year-old boy named Tariq Aziz who had volunteered to learn photography to begin documenting drone strikes near his home. Within 72 hours of the meeting Aziz was killed in a U.S. drone strike. His 12-year-old cousin was also killed in the Oct. 31 attack. "People were aware of the threat to them, yet they volunteered. Tariq in particular because he, at his age in that remote community, was familiar with computers, was excited about the idea of being able to document the civilian casualties," says reporter Pratap Chatterjee, who met Aziz days before he was killed.

Ron Paul and the Multi-Trillion Dollar a Year System of Wealth Generation for the Inside Players

We've all heard, "He who controls the gold makes the rules", as well as the famous quote, “Those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it.” Yet, most of us do not fully comprehend who owns all the gold, and we're conditioned to believe that the only pertinent history is stored on our Twitter, Facebook, and/or cell phone.

Meanwhile, in our ignorance of history, without any idea who really owns all the gold, war on the middle class; war on our civil liberties; a widening inequality gap; unemployment and underemployment; Washington gridlock, and wars, proxy wars, and secret drone wars continue to escalate, supposedly on our behalf.

What's the answer? Why, Ron Paul, of course.

But, first, before settling on Ron Paul as a savior, who will deliver "We the People", from evil, don't you think it's important to understand not only history, but who really owns the gold, and its implications? Because, one thing for certain, it's not us. Over 80% of the physical gold is owned by the "ruling elite". "We the People" own less than 10%, with independent commercial interests owning the rest.

As I have posted before, here, and here,  according to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) the Federal Reserve, despite what Ron Paul says, is already audited, and the currency is already backed, at least, in part, by gold, and, in part, by us - our labor.  Moreover, the market price of gold on the London Fixing ranges between $1600 to $1800 per oz; however, the statutory price of gold is $42.22 per fine troy ounce. As of 9/30/11, there were 261,498,900. And most importantly, the  treasury may redeem gold certificates at any time for the statutory price!

Walter Burien, in his article, SO YOU WANT A GOLD BACKED CURRENCY - THE 50-YEAR PLAN IS COMING TO A CLOSE, explains that what we are seeing at this time is the "culmination of a “50 year plan” that began in 1963 - after the assassination of JFK - when we went off the gold and silver standard...that's when the 50-year plan began. At that time, there was an organized effort to "buy all of the gold each and every year. Hundreds of tons per month as they manipulated to keep the price low."

By 1999, their stockpile of gold increased by over 20,000 tons, and continued to do so right up until 2000. By 2001, the stage was set as 9/11 created the sky-is-falling fear, aided by the 2008 financial crisis, needed so that Ron Paul's sound-bite conditioning on the importance of gold-backed currency could really take off.

This promotion by the cartel to make the public believe “it is essential to have a gold backed currency” will continue.  And according to Burien, "international circumstances will be created to bring the fear level to the brink". He goes on to say, in 2013-14, the powers that be will yield to demands for gold backed currency, which will give the cartel the liquidity to unload what they have stockpiled for half a century as the country obtains the physical gold to back the currency at 1000% + profit locked in, leaving the public as the bag-holder.

After the conversion is complete, then the collapse in gold prices begins (2015-16), with the true and real collapse of the dollar now taking place backed by the quickly diminishing value of gold. Hence, the wealth transfer to the cartel, complete.

This should come as no surprise to any of us. The 'Godfather' federal government - or in Burien's words, "wealthiest organized corporate syndicate ever known who out of self interest selectively spoon feeds the population the parameters of how and what to think due to the money involved. They have the best psychologists; market strategists; and create the curve of public opinion that money can buy" - has been making us an offer we can't refuse for quite some time, as one man summed it up so well:.

"...here's my BAD dream as the owner of a small business...(speaking of the Federal Government) they'd like to make me a business offer. Seriously. This is a real offer. In fact, you really can’t turn them down, as you’ll come to understand in a moment…

Here’s the deal. You’re going to start a business or expand the one you’ve got now. It doesn’t really matter what you do or what you’re going to do. I’ll partner with you no matter what business you’re in – as long as it’s legal.

But I can’t give you any capital – you have to come up with that on your own. I won’t give you any labor – that’s definitely up to you. What I will do, however, is demand you follow all sorts of rules about what products and services you can offer, how much (and how often) you pay your employees, and where and when you’re allowed to operate your business. That’s half of your profits.

Now in return for my rules, I’m going to take roughly half of whatever you make in the business each year. Half seems fair, doesn’t it? I think so. Of course, that’s half of your profits.

You’re also going to have to pay me about 12% of whatever you decide to pay your employees because you’ve got to cover my expenses for promulgating all of the rules about who you can employ, when, where, and how. Come on, you’re my partner. It’s only “fair”.

Now…after you’ve put your hard-earned savings at risk to start this business, and after you’ve worked hard at it for a few decades (paying me my 50% or a bit more along the way each year), you might decide you’d like to cash out – to finally live the good life.

Whether or not this is “fair” – some people never can afford to retire – is a different argument. As you partner, I’m happy for you to sell whenever you’d like…because our agreement says, if you sell, you have to pay me an additional 20% of whatever the capitalized value of the business is at that time.

I know…I know… you put up all the original capital. You took all the risks. You put in all of the labor. That’s all true. But I’ve done my part, too. I’ve collected 50% of the profits each year. And I’ve always come up with more rules for you to follow each year. Therefore, I deserve another, final 20% slice of the business. Oh…and one more thing…

Even after you’ve sold the business and paid all of my fees…I’d recommend buying lots of life insurance. You see, even after you’ve been retired for years, when you die, you’ll have to pay be 50% of whatever you estate is worth.

After all, I’ve got lots of partners and not all of them are as successful as you and your family. We don’t think its “fair” for your kids to have such a big advantage. But if you buy enough life insurance, you can finance this expense for your children.

All in all, if you’re a very successful entrepreneur…if you’re one of the rare, lucky, and hard-working people who can create a new company, employ lots of people, and satisfy the public…you’ll end up paying me more than 75% of your income over your life.

Thanks so much.

I’m sure you’ll think my offer is reasonable and happily partner with me…but it doesn’t really matter how you feel about it because if you ever try to stiff me – or cheat me on any of my fees or rules- I’ll break down your door in the middle of the night, threaten you and your family with heavy, automatic weapons, and throw you in jail.

That’s how civil society is supposed to work right? This is America, isn’t it? That’s the offer America gives its entrepreneurs. And the idiots in Washington wonder why there are no new jobs…LOL.....who wants to be in business today?????

FYI...65% of new jobs were created by small businesses.

Verdict: A US State Conspiracy Killed Martin Luther King

According to a Memphis civil trial jury’s verdict on December 8, 1999, in the wrongful death lawsuit of the King family versus Loyd Jowers "and other unknown co-conspirators," Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by a conspiracy that included agencies of his own government. That's right. A US State conspiracy killed Martin Luther King.

Uh...am I the only one who never knew this trial even took place? Was there a media blackout or something? Because, we know that never happens in the United States, right?

What Would Debbie Downer Say?

Source:

America:  Osama Bin Laden's dead!  President Obama's the man!

Debbie: Until Fox News twists this to make Bush the hero. According to redstate.com, it's thanks to President Bush because of his “enhanced interrogation techniques” at Guntanamo Bay Prison that Osama is dead.

America:  Well, whatever the story is, it's the first time in a long time that all is right with the world!

Debbie:  Good thing that the millions of  lives lost/destroyed, the trillions of dollars spent, the implementation of "Big Brother" type surveillance/loss of our 4th amendment rights,   unmanned predator drones, piloted by gamers,  the shredding of our Constitution, unemployment, the foreclosure crisis, the bankster's plundering of the economy, is all behind us. Right?

America:  Right! It's a good thing that we water-boarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed because that's how we got the information that killed Osama.  This is pay-off! It's time to get out the kilts and bagpipes, prepared speeches, glow sticks, and head down to Ground Zero!

Debbie:  I wonder if any of  the sick and fallen 9/11 heroes will be able to make it.  Probably not. The ones who have not yet succumbed to toxic WTC dust are too busy trying to prove they're not terrorists. 

America:  Yeah, too bad for them, but, now that our bad-ass military brought down Osama, those sick and fallen heroes have not suffered in vain. For the first time in a long time, our future looks bright!

Debbie:  The  nuclear hell-storms that al-Qa'ida plans to unleash according to WikiLeaks should make it very bright. The Islamists vow bin Laden death will not mute Jihad call.  I'm sure the Department of Defense, Homeland Security and TSA are getting ready to roll out plans to escalate  the use of torture, fire up more predator drones, ratchet up the surveillance state, and...

America:  Alrighty then, well, it's May...no worries about frost interfering with our celebrations...

Debbie: Mr. Frost interviewed Benazir Bhutto in November of 2007, before she was murdered. She told him, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh – one of those convicted of kidnapping and killing U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl - murdered Osama Bin Laden.

America: You know what, Debbie? You're really taking a royal crap on our celebration of Osama's death. We, the people completely held our tongue when you showed us pictures of dead Iraqi babies, and we didn't say one word when you went on and on about the NATO strikes that took out a school for disabled children in Libya...

The US government, as Paul Craig Roberts said, has an  "unlimited belief in the gullibility of Americans".
