Republican Reverse Robbing Hoods, part II: The Koch brothers caught pants down

Peter B. Collins receives Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com with groundbreaking news. Friedman succeeded to get access to a recording of the Summer Seminar organized by the Koch brothers in 2011 in Vail, Colorado. An anonymous source who participated in this activity taped key portions of this Seminar, featuring both Charles and David Koch, Governor Chris Christie and Judge Napolitano, and provided Brad Friedman with the recording. Friedman posted the complete audio and transcript of it on his blog and released the story as well to Mother Jones publication. Well, the revelations of this recording are so juicy and crusty. While listening to this tape, we have the « pleasure » of hearing Charles Koch referring curiously to Saddam Hussein while he speaks about defeating Obama, David Koch talking about Governor Chris Christie as « my kind of guy », speakers describing how the rich are the victims of an evil Obama, and how Democrats have been stupid (I agree with that statement!) to accept cuts in social programs and the social safety net, etc. Overall, you will hear a bunch of ultra-rich potentates showing absolutely no respect for the poor and the people who suffer in the lower classes. After years of constant attacks and attempts to rob and crush the poor and the middle class in the U.S. during the Bush Administration, a « second wave » is now under way with these neo-extreme-right activists, who for the most part stay in the shadows, well hidden behind the Tea Party useful fools. But now they have been masterfully exposed and showed for what they trully are by this anonymous inside source and by investigative journalist Brad Friedman. I have joined the podcast of Brad Friedman’s interview with Peter B. Collins, some of the related articles published on Mother Jones, and the integral audio files and transcripts of the recording of the Summer Seminar, posted on BradBlog.com. Excellent work, guys! Excellent anti-fascist researcher Dave Emory has been working as well on the Koch brothers case for some time. In particular, FTR #726 is of great interest to get acquainted more with these shadowy figures of American politics. What the Koch brothers are proposing to America leads directly to fascism. In effect, their machinations and use of the Tea Party clearly intends to repel the New Deal implemented by Roosevelt to replace it by something that would go along the lines of Mussolini’s Corporate State.

We all need weapons of mass-seduction after 9/11: Christine Mendoza and Paradise

After the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we all need weapons of mass-seduction. You know, to get a sense of closure, even if it will never come. A very beautiful young woman called « MSN beauty » on Youtube, aka Christine Mendoza, inspired me lately. I can’t help but to say to myself that, if I ever go to Heaven, women will be exactly like that: long hair down to the bottom, almond-eyes, perfect suntan, lips to die for, incredible curves and breasts that one couldn’t resist drinking to. Muslims may dream about having 70 virgins when they get to Paradise. But why not having just one mature woman like that instead? I’m telling you, in my Kingdom, women look exactly like that. There is no desire to go to war constantly when you have this kind of perfect beauty around you. I could die at the hands of Islamic terrorists but I would rather prefer to die in her arms. Then I could go straight to Heaven…and meet other adult females.

Les garderies en milieu familial et les familles d’accueil au Québec: Des nids d’abuseurs sexuels?

Cette semaine, suite à un reportage dans le journal La Presse concernant l’état des garderies en milieu familial au Québec, Benoit Dutrizac a abordé la question lors de son émission quotidienne au 98,5 FM. Après avoir interviewé le pédiatre Gilles Lupien, Dutrizac a ouvert les lignes téléphoniques pour sonder l’opinion publique. Or, cela n’a pas pris bien longtemps avant qu’une dame, Anne, appelle pour dire qu’il y avait eu de l’abus sexuel dans la « garderie » où elle avait confié sa petite fille. D’autres appelants ont fait des remarques d’ordre général sur l’organisation des lieux, des services, etc, qui sont venues corroborer les différents éléments présentés dans le reportage de La Presse. Une autre intervenante, Édith, a raconté à Dutrizac comment le conjoint de la propriétaire de sa garderie se promenait nu-pieds continuellement. Édith n’appréciait pas.

Un autre reportage de La Presse publié le lendemain rapporte certains faits relatifs à une garderie de Pierrefonds où le conjoint de la propriétaire, encore une fois, est soupçonné d’avoir commis de l’attouchement sexuel sur les enfants. Sans être psychologue, je crois que j’ai compris « comment ça marche ». Dans la vie, tout est une question de motifs et d’intérêts. Les humains ne font rien sans eux. Question: Qu’est-ce qui peut bien pousser ou motiver des conjoints à transformer leur maison ou leur appartement en garderie en milieu familial ou en famille d’accueil? La réponse est bien simple, elle tombe sous le sens mais, encore une fois, je ne suis pas sûr que ma société soit prête à l’entendre. Grosso modo, la situation semble être la suivante: Une femme peu intéressée par le sexe cherche ainsi à fournir « de la viande » à un conjoint pédophile… Je sais que ça fait mal, mais ça ressemble à cela.

Don Debar on Talktainment Radio presents the real situation on the ground in Libya

This interview with New York journalist Don Debar offers a much more credible and more believable assessment of the situation in Libya than what we have been given by our local news providers. Debar was in Libya recently and the account that he presents here make a lot of sense. To begin with, Debar de-mythologizes the country that we call Libya by sketching certain of its social and political dimensions unknown to the vast majority of the western public. Libya, up until NATO’s military campaign against it, have had a social safety net that would make people jalous even in a country like Canada. In effect, Libyans have had free education, free healthcare. Every Libyan has had the right to own his/her house and there has been no mortgage. And there has been also a certain redistribution of oil revenues, something NATO and the « Allies » never said to us, the population. Libya, up to this military intervention, has had the highest standard of living in Africa. According to Debar, a 1000 miles of non-polluted beaches could be enjoyed by any citizens.

« Revolutionaries » of this war originate from Qatar. To this day, certain areas of Libya haven’t seen any rebels. Among other elements of this interview, we note that: Nelson Mandela credited Qaddafi for the help he provided to end Apartheid; Qaddafi had the project of creating the United States of Africa, which would have integrated its economy with the use of a currency based on gold; Qaddafi paid for a telecommunication system made in Africa. These elements seem to have entered into conflict with a project of NATO called Africom that would probably resemble a form of neo-colonialism. Lode Vanoost, former Belgian MP, expressed a similar opinion. See this previous article to get a hold of that. Excellent journalist and brilliant author Russ Baker also expressed himself on the subject in a terrific article that you can consult through this last post, here: Russ Baker on the Peter B. Collins Show.

The Dalai Lama and Tariq Ramadan have sung in duet at the Second Global Conference on World’s Religions after 9/11

Well…I feel the need to pontificate a little today. Being a blogger and feeling sometimes relegated to the backseats of social and political discourse, I often have the impression that what I have to say about the world is considered useless and inconsequential by the power elite of this world. More humble people obviously appreciate this site and I am glad they do because, in the end, it is for them that I write and publish all these posts on my own time, for free. So today I hope you will allow me to celebrate my instincts, although I would have prefered evidently to be wrong. Last May, when I first heard about this coming Conference in Montreal, I had the feeling that the Dalai Lama and Tariq Ramadan would adjust their strategies and work on a common agenda. That’s why I had titled my post The Dalai and Tariq Ramadan will sing in duet…and that’s exactly what happened.

Let me explain a few things. A journalist from French-speaking radio station 98,5FM in Montreal, Canada, named Alain Pronkin, attended the Conference on September the 7th. In a two-part interviews given to host Benoit Dutrizac, he reported two things rather relevant for our purpose. First, Tariq Ramadan, this Muslim Brotherhood agent so « charming » and « moderate » that has become literally a sweatheart for the so-called progressive sector, was asked by a Buddhist raised in a Christian family why the Dalai Lama couldn’t visit the Mecca. Ramadan plainly and dully responded that the vast majority of Muslim scholars agreed on this and that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia wouldn’t allow it anyway. Period. So much for the religious freedom and « tolerance » that Ramadan is desperately trying to force upon Westerners. In other words, what Muslims mean by religious freedom is the possibility for them to impose their laws, their sharia, their Islamic veil, their sacred holidays, their prayers at whatever moment of the day and in whatever places they see fit, etc, that we, Westerners, have to accept in the name of so-called « openness ». But this principle of religious freedom doesn’t seem to work the other way around. If we, Westerners, want to express our religious freedom by visiting a holy place of Islam, even if it is only out of curiosity or for touristic experience, we can’t…unless Muslims permit it. Now you get the picture about religious freedom, Muslim style. Continuer la lecture

The controlled demolition of America on 9/11: Meet the Saudis and their Islamic nano-thermites

I will try in this post to do the impossible: assemble and summarize the most important elements of information available on 9/11 but that are not, for the most part, belonging to the official version. I rely for this, as it is often the case, on Dave Emory’s research, and as well on other sources, such as Daniel Hopsicker’s investigative reporting and John Loftus’ vast knowledge in intelligence. This is definitely the most complicated, complex, deep and troubling file probably of all modern times, so please bear with me. I have already presented the financial and economical aspects of 9/11 in an earlier post, so check it out for more information.

First, the main lead concerning 9/11 seems to implicate the Saudis, especially the Royal Family and the bin Laden family. The Bush Administration refused to release to the 9/11 Commission as much as ¾ of the national security papers available during the Clinton era, in all probability for the highly sensitive material that they contain. According to some sources in the journalistic community that Emory cites, previous attempts to use planes to launch terrorist attacks were contemplated in the years prior to 9/11 by Al-Qaeda, involving in some cases the Eiffel Tower, the city of Tel-Aviv in Israel, various other targets…and the World Trade Center. Several intelligence agencies throughout the world, such as Egyptian, Italian and Israeli intelligence, and in the U.S., tried to warn the Administration of an imminent attack that would take place around the Millenium, but their warnings were ignored. U.S. dependency on Saudi oil and the considerable reinvestment that the Saudis effectuate in the U.S. played a key role in the cover up of this intelligence. Continuer la lecture

Daniel Hopsicker and the New American Druglords: Let’s meet some of the nice people who were involved in 9/11

 9/11 is definitely is one the deepest trauma ever to have happened to America. Never we would have thought that our peaceful environment, western countries and cities would be disturbed by such a terrible event. We used to think that wars and trouble only happen elsewhere, in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, in other words everywhere but not here. We were wrong. A network of crooks have taken control of the Earth and they hit us with great savagery on that terrible day. Lead 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta learned to fly at Huffman Aviation fly school, located at Venice Airport, Florida. In these video segments that you can also find at independent investigative report Daniel Hopsicker’s website, Madcowprod.com, you will learn a few things about the connections between the 9/11 hijackers and international organized crime.

The documentary begins by talking about the character of Rudy Dekkers, who was all over the place in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. To give you some of the highlights, did you know that months just prior to 9/11 Venice Airport was literally swarmed by Arab men who had come there to learn to fly? Did you know that a DC9 was busted in Yucatan in 2006 flying from Venezuela carrying 5.5 tons of cocaine, and that that DC9 was owned by a St-Petersburg, FL, company that used an adress at Venice Airport? Did you know that the owner at the time of Huffman Aviation, Wally Hilliard, who also worked for the CIA, was caught with 43 pounds of heroin? Did you know that while in America ordinary citizens are strip-searched although the vast majority of them do nothing wrong, private planes are not inspected at all at Venice Airport and that no federal agencies recognizes any responsibility to do so? Have you ever been acquainted with the charming Michael Brassington, one of Wally Hilliard’s pilots, who seemed to be able to get away with everything he did? Brassington appears to have been involved in currency, drug, people, and diamond smuggle, among others. He finally saw his career as a pilot terminated when the Bombardier Challenger CL-600 he was flying skidded off a runway in New Jersey before hitting a steel fence, crossed a 6-lane highway, crashed into a warehouse and bursted into flames.
