The Changing Times

 



 





There is a lawsuit going on against people. There is a $200 billion lawsuit filed on behalf of shareholders of the American International Group, which has been amended to include Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox as defendants. This case was filed earleir by the public interest law firm Freedom Watch USA on behalf of shareholders of AIG. AIG has watched the value of the company plummet by some $214 billion. This class action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Los Angeles. Freedom Watch USA founder Larry Klayman pronounced the words that the ruling elite in D.C. should be held accountable and con men exist on Wall Street (who are involved in the meltdown of the U.S. financial system and the economy). The amended complaint accuse additional defendants that they violated the constitutional rights of the shareholders by denying them the right to their property, the shares themselves. "The inspiration for this amendment was information disclosed by University of Missouri professor William K. Black on the Bill Moyers' PBS television show last Friday, where he implicated these government officials in a massive cover up of the banking scandal, mostly for the benefit of Goldman Sachs, the former employer of both Paulson and Geithner, in which they held a significant financial interest," Klayman reported. Klayman accuses Cox of having intentionally impotent oversight at SEC. He wants AIG CEO Edward Libby to be served with the lawsuit as well. He said that Barney Frank (the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee) refused to answer a legitimate question from a Harvard student about why Frank (and his committee) failed to oversee the banking scandal. Klayman accused the defendants of damaging AIG by using risky business dealings. These dealing made the company to exist on the verge of bankruptcy and have required in excess of $190 billion dollars to date of government provided monies to prevent total company failure. He believes that the damages sustained by the shareholders because of the defendants' mismanagement (breaches of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, etc.) is worth in excess of $200 billion. Klayman said 400 workers each received between $1,000 and $6.5 million, and seven executives in the unit responsible for many of the losses each got more than $3 million. Many people want members of Congress to return the money that they got from AIG for their political campaigns. AIG CEO Edward Liddy told Congress last week that the Fed signed off on the bonuses before they became public. Obama and Dodd were the top recipients of campaign largesse from AIG over the past two years, with Obama getting $104,332 and Dodd taking in $103,900. Others received money, too, but in smaller amounts. All together, AIG donated $644,218 to federal politicians. The company also has said some of the employees have promised to return the bonuses voluntarily. People want economic accountability and people have a right to make that known.






The End Run from the April 10, 2009 wrote about a former Obama advisor promoting the new world order in wild way. This person is named Lawrence Korb. He was the Vice President of the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) from 1998-2002. He was also the CFR’s director of National Security Studies during that same period. From 1985-1986, he was Vice President of Corporate Operations at Raytheon. He was the Assistant Secretary of Defense from 1981-1985 during the Reagan Administration. He was an advisor to Barack Obama when Obama was campaigning for president. He currently is a Senior Fellow at American Progress and a Senior Advisor to the Center for Defense Information. He spoke at the University of Pittsburgh on the evening of March 19, 2009. Korb talked about Obama's plans for Afghanistan in depth. He said that he wants thousands of more troops in Afghanistan in order to stabilize that nation. He admits that this policy is a betrayal of what his anti-war supporters want, which is an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan (just like in Iraq. Kibruk in Iraq is its 2nd largest oil producer in the nation with voting issues). This and other reasons prove that Barack Obama isn't anti-war just like George W. Bush. Korb talks about the blogosphere wanting to cease mobilizations in Afghanistan. Korb wants to go big in Afghanistan, which can last at least 10 years. Most polls shows that Afghans have a favorable view of the USA in less than 50%. As the Guardian reported last month, “The number of civilians killed in the war in Afghanistan increased by 40% last year to a record 2,118 people." More than 420 U.S. troops have already been killed in combat in Afghanistan since the war began, according to USA Today. Despite of these facts, Korb wants to continue forward with war in Central Asia. Afghanistan has a narco problem. Opium can risen greatly since 2001. Then, in December of 2001, The Asia Times reported that the U.S. had gotten convicted drug lord and opium kingpin Ayub Afridi released from jail, allegedly to help establish control in Afghanistan. The Taliban banned the crop of opium. Then, America funded opium farmers to defeat the Taliban. The invasion of Afghanistan was planned months before 9/11 since the Taliban didn't play ball with the Anglo-American establishment. This doesn't mean that the Taliban is innocent. The Taliban has done evil things toward women and other people. A few months later, it was reported that estimated opium harvests in Afghaistan in the late-spring of 2002 would reach a world record 4,500 metric tons. In 2007, that number was a record-breaking 8,000 tons; and in 2008 it was 7,700 tons. Last month, Reuters reported that today Afghanistan “grows more than 90 percent of the world’s illegal opium poppies, the source of heroin.” Peter Dale Scott is a former Canadian diplomat and professor at the UC Berkeley. He's an expert on the drug trade. He said that CIA operations in Afghanistan caused as high as 40% of the heroin coming into America as existing from Afghanistan. Global and Mail, Canada’s largest-circulation national newspaper, published an article entitled “Afghan officials in drug trade cut deals across enemy lines”, and subtitled, “Corrupt politicians are safeguarding traffickers who then help the Taliban, Globe investigation finds." The article found that a drug dealers had an letter of protection from their boss General Mohammed Daud Daud. Daud is the deputy minister of interior. He's ironically responsible for counternarcotics, which is Afghanistan's most powerful anti-drug cazr. Documents show how Gen. Daud safeguarded shipments of illegal opiates (even when he commands thousands of officers sworn to fight the trade. The dealer moved 183 kilograms of pure heroin before he was caught by a specially trained unit in of police in Afghanistan). Korb said that Pakistan had nuclear weapons and we should fight in Afghanistan to stabilize Pakistan. Korb said that Iran once support America to fight the Taliban until Bush called Iran as a nation among the Axis of Evil in his famous speech. Korb said that certain militarization of society isn't a violation of Posse Comitatus. Beard also cited a recent plan by the Iowa Army National Guard to conduct urban warfare training exercises (and how the government stole guns in New Orleans from innocent citizens during the Katrina event). These plans were canceled as a result of public outcry. Korb side steps issues about false flag operations that were conducted by the government like the Gulf of Tonkin, Operation Gladio in Europe, and the U.S.S. Liberty Incident. The 9/11 Commission was a fraud with conflicts of interests and it didn't expose some of the real issues from Ptech (including Building Number Seven's mysterious collapse) to NORAD standing down. So, Korb is a CFR neo-liberal agent that wants the war on terror and other globalist policies.




BEN MOOK from the Daily Record on April 10, 2009 wrote about how a lawsuit is going on against companies that sold WMDs to Saddam Hussein. They are among 5 survivors of the 1988 poison gas attacks on the ethnic Kurds. They filed this class action lawsuit in Maryland. They claim that 3 American companies and the government of Iraq violated the Geneva Convention by using mustard and nerve gas to kill then of thousands of people. The lawsuit (which was filed in the U.S. District Court in Baltimore) says that the companies supplied the regime of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein with the chemical precursors (and compounds needed to make the poison gas that was used in the six month long program called "Operation Anfal"). One of the companies, which is called Alcolac Inc., was headquartered in Baltimore at the time of the attacks but is now defunct. Some of of its assets were acquired by a French firm, Rhodia Inc, which is mentioned in the complaint but not named as a defendant. A spokesman for Rhodia is named David Klucsik. He said that Alcolac was not acquired until 1989 by a predeccesor to Rhodia called Rhone-Poulenc. Rhodia is the chemicals arm of Rhone-Poulenc was spun off in 1998. The Geneva Convention banned the use of chemical weapons in warfare ever since WWII. The Nashville-based Kurdish National Congress of North America, also a plaintiff in the case, has been working for years to build the case against the defendants. They found a lawyer willing to tackle it, according to Dr. Kirmanj Gundi. Meran S. Adbullah who is 34 years old, is from Nashville. In 1988, Adbullah lived with his family in Ekmole, which is a village near the Turkish border that was under the control of Kurdish forces known as the Peshmerga. His mother, father, and older brother stayed behind to gather personal effects. He said that his parents and brother died in the attacks (when their bodies were found near a creek with suitcases still in their hands). So, Adbullah has a right to see justice and damages ought to be made known in the world. Operation Anfal was a wicked action that was done against the Kurdish people. Western corporations gave WMDs to Saddam indeed (including military weapons to Iraq during the 1980's in order to fight a war against Iran). The US Department of Commerce licensed 70 biological exports to Iraq between 1985 and 1989, including at least 21 batches of lethal strains of anthrax. The French newspaper Le Figaro, in an article published in 1998, said researchers at the Rockville, Maryland lab of the American Type Culture Collection confirmed sending anthrax samples via mail order to Iraq. So, certain elitists are responsible for the crimes of Saddam.







News in the Middle East are coming on fast. The new Israeli government is headed by Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Some speculate that he desires a Palestinian state. The Obama administration has supported a 2 state solution and peace negiotations. Netanyahu said that he wants peace with security for his country. He wants to strengthen the Palestinian economy and engage in the peace process while not excluding making progress on the Syrian front. Some have criticized Netanyahu as being too radical on Middle Eastern issues as a hawk. Some believe that Netanyahu will use the hawk Avigdor Lieberman strategically for his tough rhetoric to satisfy the more hawkish Israeli constituency. Some feel that if a Palestinian state does occur that's credible, it might occur under someone like Netanyahu (who isn't known for being soft). Persuading Labor to join his coalition government and Ehud Barak as his defense minister also shifts the balance of power toward moderation. A new Palestinian state that's controlled by the elite has been promoted by the Vatican and the Council on Foreign Relations for over 10 years. The Olso Accords and other agreements set the stage for these events. The truth is that peace should occur in the Middle East. Yet, it should never be a charade or controlled by elitists. It ought to be controlled by the Israelis and Palestinians themselves.






Steven Ertelt from LifeNews.com on April 9, 2009 made it known that Texas lawmakes want to see competing bills in order to scrap or defend a 10 day futile care law. The law allows medical facilities to give families just 10 days to find places to care for their loved one when a medical center refuses treatment. The statue allows hospitals and other medical facilities that believe that a patient is too far gone to help to give their families just 10 days to find another facility that will offer the treatment or lifesaving medical care. There are names like Emilio Gonzales and Andrea Clark making headlines, because they became potential euthanasia victimes. Pro-life advocates and disability rights activists have complained about the futility care law and want to see it changed or rescinded. One bill is called HB 3325. It would permit an attorney to represnet the family or patient. The other bill was named HB 2964 which retains the right of hospitals to cut off treatment but extends the time limit a mere four days from 10 to 14 days for the family to find another medical facility willing to provide care. Wesley J. Smith, a California bioethics attorney who has been monitoring futile care laws, says HB 3325 is the bill he prefers (because the current Texas Futile Care law is a disgrace because it gives a mere 10 days for people to find patients another hospital in order stop the state from getting rid of life sustaining treatment from patients). Smith calls HB 2964 "an explicit defense of Futile Care Theory" and says the other measure is "the only bill that would eliminate most of the injustice that is the heart of futile care." "My worry is that like last time, the real point of 2964 is to cynically confuse and divide the anti futile care forces, thereby allowing the current unjust law to remain firmly in place," he concludes. It's important to protect life from birth into death. It doesn't take a genius that big corporate Foundations want abortion and enuthanasia to exist. Both of those procedures are apart of the same dehumanization campaign that wants to murder innocent life instead of helping to perserve life.





Montana wants to stop federal gun control laws. Montana's proposed gun laws may have the basis for a court showdown over states' rights (if the governor signs a bill to release some firearms in the state from federal regulation). The proposed law aims to exempt firearms, weapons components and ammunition made in Montana and kept in Montana from federal gun laws. The bill wants to prevent federal gun laws from effecting Montana, because Montana already has gun laws there. This can allow gunowners and seller to not be bound under federal regulations, license requirements, and background checks completely. "We'd like to just be able to make our own guns here in Montana and have the feds stay out of it," said Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association, which helped draft the bill. House Bill 246 sailed through the Montana Legislature, but Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer has not yet offered a position on the measure, which awaits his action. The federal ATF hadn't made a firm position on the issue. "ATF is not going to take a position on this because we don't make any of the laws, we just enforce the laws that Congress makes," said Carrie DiPirro. DiPirro is the spokeswoman for the Denver field division, which oversees Montana. Congress can regulate interstate commerce as the Constitution says. This is why some promote gun regulation in America. In essence, those in Montanta want the House Bill 246 to pass, because it promotes state's rights. The Second Amendment or gun rights is great to promote. Barack Obama may not want to ban all guns in America, but some of his allies do. Even Eric Holder supported the D.C. gun ban. That's all the more reason to promote the truth and perserve the right of self defense (even using arms if necessary).





Monsanto has been criticized for its bad health effects of their milk products among other things. Monsanto is a corporate monopoly that promotes poisons in their products. Monsanto came about in 1901 and they have promoted Agent Orange, PCBs, Terminator seeds and recombined milk, among other infamous products. Monsanto wants rBGH or milk with bovine growth hormone (including recombined milk) to exist in the food market. Consumption of dairy products from cows treated with rbGH raise a number of health issues," explained Michael Hansen, a senior scientist for Consumers Union. "That includes increased antibiotic resistance, due to use of antibiotics to treat mastitis and other health problems, as well as increased levels of IGF-1, which has been linked to a range of cancers." Some in Mansanto (which is a St. Louis-based agri-chem. giant) want to suppres any chance of having a rBGH free labels on products in the state level. Monsanto spokesperson Lori Hoag said that RBST is a supplement that can help the cow to produce more milk. She said that it's injected in the cow, not the milk. She therefore claims that there is no difference between regular milk and Monsanto milk products. "Monsanto has an unfortunate habit of mixing some things together that confuse the issue," counters Rick North, director of Campaign for Safe Food from Physicians for Social Responsibility's Oregon chapter. "It's true that all cows have natural bovine growth hormone. But only cows injected with recombinant, genetically engineered bovine growth hormone have rBGH. And this isn't a 'supplement.' This is a drug that revs up cow metabolism so high that they're typically burned out after two lactation cycles and slaughtered. Non-rBGH cows typically live four, seven, ten or more years." The threat of rBGH to cows and humans is something that's real. That is why Canada, Australia, and parts of the EU to ban Monsanto's recombined milk outright. Monsanto in America have signed off in another unproven growth oppurtunity (that can harm the enviornment). Monsanto of cousre wants money. That is why they don't want states to have common sense rBGH free labeling of prodcuts. Monsanto infamously got two Fox News journos fired in 1997 for refusing to bend the truth about rBGH on the air. Yet, over the long term, the multinational's attention to press relations hasn't paid off so well. Medical authorities like Samuel Epstein and Robert Hare, quoted above, have targeted them from both the physical and psychological health perspective. Farmers and consumers want labels globally between natural milk and recombined milk. In 2007, its efforts at an outright ban on rBGH-free labels in Pennsylvania were almost cleared for takeoff, until the state invited its citizens to publicly comment, which eventually doomed the move. That scenario has replayed itself across the United States in accelerated fashion with success. "The issue looks pretty dead in Indiana and Ohio, and there are solid victories in Pennsylvania and New Jersey," explains Recipe for America's Jill Richardson, author of the forthcoming book Vegetables of Mass Destruction. National Family Farm Coalition and other groups are fighting Monsanto's extremism as well. Labeling recombined milk should be a common sense plan to make sure that our health is protected. Too much pro-Monsanto growth hormone have been found to cause dangerous side effects on plants, animals, and human beings indeed.
