For sale: one used country - cheap
A very special relationship
Over the years, the Saudi Royal Family has put at least $1.4 billion into the hands of the Bush family and its friends.
That's "billion" with a "b."
Even in these days of inflation, that's real money.
Did Bush go to Saudi Arabia to ask for lower oil prices or to assure the Saudis they could keep sticking it to us as long as he and his family were given their cut?
Far-fetched?
Don't be too surprised.
In the days right after 9/11, all commercial flights in US air space including those for Congressmen, the private jets of billionaires, and transportation for donated organs*** were shut down.
There was one exception...
The White House arranged for dozens of still unnamed Saudi Arabians - including members of the House of Saud and the Bin Laden family - living in the US to be flown out of the country in style.
The FBI didn't think it was necessary to get a passenger list...but show up at a peace rally and they'll be sure to get your face on video and add your name to their database if you're arrested at one.
The US news media didn't think this post 9/11 mercy flight for Bush's personal friends was worth investigating.
==============================
From: House of Bush, House of Saud: The secret relationship between the world's most powerful dynasties by Craig Unger
"September 13, 2001 - Thousands of Americans were dead. They have been killed in a terrorist operation largely run by Saudis. Nonetheless the two men (Bush and Prince Bandar Of Saudi Arabia) each lit up a Cohiba cigar (on the Truman balcony of the White House)...
Few Americans realized that these two dynasties had a history dating back more than twenty years. Not just business partners and personal friends, the Bushes and the Saudis had pulled off elaborate covert operations and gone to war together...
They had been involved in the Iran-contra scandal, in secret U.S. aid in the Afghanistan War that gave birth of Osama bin Laden." pg. 15.

We all knew the Iraq Invasion was BS
More media flim flam
The US news media likes to pretend that Americans supported Bush's fraudulent, unprovoked attack on Iraq five years ago.
They're "shocked" to now discover that there "may" have been some "misstatement" of facts by the Bush administration at the time.
Good story. Too bad it's total bullshit.
Over 30% of Americans - even in the midst of Nazi-like war hysteria drummed up by media outlets like Clear Channel - were firmly opposed to the invasion before it took place.
Furthermore, millions in the US and around the world took to the streets in protest of the pending atrocity.
We all knew Bush could not be trusted to tell the truth and that his family has a long record of selling out the country to make a buck.
This is only news to the venal morons who report the news in the US.
Over 1,000,000 Iraqi civilians dead as a direct result of the invasion to date.

Who´s driving the war?
It's an open secret
Scott McClellan goes mute
Interesting...
Scott McClelan can attack his former boss, but he can't seem to mention the word "neocon" or "Israel" in connection with the US drive to war in the Middle East, first in Iraq and now Iran.
Who runs American foreign policy in the Middle East?
It's an open secret.
Hint: It's not us.

LIEBERMAN MUST GO
Demand the Steering Committee remove Joe Lieberman's position within the Democratic Caucus.
2,000 signers
We CANNOT tolerate a leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus who supports George Bush and McCain's War in Iraq. We CANNOT tolerate a Democratic chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee who endorses and stumps for McCain. We call on the Senate Democratic Steering Committee to strip Joe Lieberman of his chairmanship and his leadership role.

The Energy Non-Crisis
Lindsey Williams
He was crystal clear over a year ago that gasoline was headed straight to $4.00 a gallon and he says he knows why.
Williams became an oil industry insider by virtue of his success at mediating labor disputes in the Alaska oil fields.
Little did his colleagues know, he had no intention to become a "good old boy."

John McCain in Neverland
Military expert
He's running on his military record
Too bad he can't tell the truth to save this life.
McCain's pet domestic project: advancing the Republican plan to "privatize" Social Security.
Privatize is a code word for transfering Social Security assets to Wall Street.
There will be massive commissions made on this deal, something McCain who was shoulder deep in the S & L fraud of the 1980s understands very well.

Migrationsverket är ute och reser
Om Migrationsverket lär sig hur Iran tillämpar sharialagarna kanske verket inser att det är rättsvidrigt att verkställa utvisningen av Shohreh och hennes 5-årige son Arvin till Iran. Det skriver Birgitta Elfström, jurist i Varberg.

Ny anmälan om ung flickas död
2008-06-23 04:01
Tog 14-åriga Felicia verkligen sitt eget liv?
Det kan bli en ny polisutredning om vad som hände den 14-åriga flicka som hittades död i skogen utanför Asige för tre år sedan. Vissa omständigheter antyder att det inte var ett självmord.

Dollars, Oil and the Big Wipe Out
The Petro-Dollar War
The first thing the US did when it invaded and took over Iraq was reverse Saddam Hussein's recently policy of demanding Euros in payment for his countries oil.
Some think that's what the war was all about and that Iran's insistence on receiving Euros for its oil is the real reason that country has been targeted.
Dollars? Euros? What's the difference?
The difference is this...if you are the dominant currency, you can support your lifestyle and war machine by printing more when you run out.
Take that power away and there will be a very economic painful dislocation in the US.

Solar powered electric car
Not a dream, it works
It may seem that a lot of the videos on Brasscheck TV are "negative."Well, you can't built something new until you expose and clean out all the crap.
As I mentioned to a friend recently "a lot of formerly deeply buried s*** is finally seeing the light of day these days."
A new day is coming.
Human ingenuity is boundless and the good guys really do outnumber the bad guys. We just have to get better organized.
There's a good reason the powers that be work so hard to try to dumb and beat us down. We're damn hard to tame, and they know it.
If you want the plans for this car, they're here:

How we look to the world
In Humor, Truth
The first video is from India.I'm not sure what country the second one is from, but the language is Arabic.
Obviously critical, but light-hearted about it.
I'm not so sure how light-hearted I'd feel about a country as mad with power and lacking in morality as ours has become.
We're very lucky for the residual good will we somehow manage to retain.

More censored impeachment news

Have you even heard about them?
Bush & Co. should not only being impeached, there need to be criminal charges including but not limited to treason.

Censored: Kucinich calls for impeachment of Bush
You didn't see this on the news
This is a serious motion, delivered on the floor of Congress, to impeach President George W. Bush.It happened just a few days ago.
Did you see it on the news?
No.
But you can see it on Brasscheck TV.
By the way, much of the evidence presented by Rep. Dennis Kucinich regarding fraud in the 2004 presidential election was presented in detail months ago on Brasscheck TV.

ORDET ÄR FRITT
Samhällsklyftorna ökar
Nu får det snart vara slut på eländet!
Nu rinner vattnet i bägaren över. Tusentals människor riskerar att bli av med sin sjukpenning. Ett klubbslag av den borgerliga majoriteten i riksdagen den 4 juni skapar bara nya pålagor för sjuka människor och vanligt folk. Arbetslösa står också i en strykklass för sig.
Samtidigt ser vi hur redan välbeställda får den ena skattesänkningen efter den andra. Mest åt den som har det bäst. Sedan regeringsskiftet upplever vi bara hur klyftorna ökar.
Högerregeringen Reinfeldt kan inte stava till rättvisa. Än mindre förstå vad rättvis fördelning innebär. Regeringspolitiken leds istället av devisen: Åt dem som har ska varda givet. Och gärna ännu mer.
Det är nu hög tid att vända ryggen åt en hjärtlös politik.

Springnota för antifacklig sallad
Att driva företag är faktiskt inte någon gudagiven rättighet. Att driva företag innebär ansvar. Ansvar gentemot anställda. Ansvar gentemot underleverantörer: Ansvar gentemot samhället. Att driva företag är ingen lekstuga.
Som sagt företagande är ingen lekstuga: inte ens på Stureplan.

»När något oväntat händer kollapsar ekonomin«
2008-05-26
– Många av våra medlemmar törs inte berätta för arbetsgivaren att de är med i facket. De är livrädda. »Säg inte till arbetsgivaren att jag har ringt!« De är så tacksamma för att de har ett jobb och vågar inte ställa krav, förklarar Suzanne Jensinger, försäkringsrådgivare och ombudsman, Hotell och Restaurang Facket.
