Manute Bol: The Passing

Manute Bol passed last month. He was the tallest player ever to play in the NBA. The walking telephone pole weighed only 190 pounds when he joined the NBA. He was found by a basketball scout in Sudan and he didn't even play basketball!

Manute used all his fame, fortune, and time to help his kin folks back in Sudan who were being slaughtered in a "civil war" flamed and continued by the Sudanese government. He never suspected the US or Chinese governments as the instigators in the shadows propping up the Sudanese warlords and their janjaweed genocidal gangs. What can a tribe do when the government has helicopter gunships? The UN and the fake African Union exist only as cardboard cutouts.

Expect the rightful owners of land to be cleared from it and its habitants extermined when oil is involved.

Today's Financial, Political, and Psychological Pyramid

PYRAMID OF EMPIRE

This is an excellent presentation of our current financial, political, psychological system. It shows Wall Street sittting on top of government and its private citizens. Wall Street funds both the government and the citizens and also takes back tribute in the form of interest from the government and taxes from private individuals.

Kudos to the author for a great presentation.

Michel Chossudovsky: The Cause of Civil Wars in Africa

WHY CIVIL WAR?

This blog asks why? Why and how do things happen? What is the reason or the source? What's the motivation? Who's he beneficiary? What is the logic? I am always attempting to find out information that can help me solve these riddles which bug me. There must be an explanation to these questions!

Here is some material dug up by Michel Chossudovsky to explain the cause/source of the Rwanda, Congo/Zaire, and Uganda civil wars and civil upheaval. Where would be without the internet?

It explains that the School of the Americas trained the warlord and their henchmen to bloody the region so as to increase the US's control and secure raw materials at a low price, of course, at the cost of the African population. So that's what the CIA and special forces are for!

Remember, people don't just wake one day and decide to kill each other! There must be a catalyst! A situtation must be created, so desperate, that some person must kill another person in self defense. Others must be rajavascript:void(0)llied into a frenzy in support of "their warlord". That warlord has plans whose sole purpose is relegated to him being sole beneficiary of any results.

BP Oil Spill: The Lies and Deception of a Corporation

IMMUNITY AND IMPUNITY

Today we'll connect the dots from Alaska, to Nigeria, to the Gulf of Mexico. The common denominator? The product, oil, and the connection of the producer to the consumer.

It's time to recognize the behavior patterns by corporations. What they are they consistently allowed to get away with?

This oil spill event is a good opportunity to focus in all the little moving parts. How and why did it happen? Why does it continue to keep happening?

We give them a pass because they need to make extraordinary profits to make the shareholders happy. Else the shareholders start complaining like a really old, rusty, wheelbarrow.

In turn, we want the product on the cheap and we want it guilt-free. Please mainstream media, reinforce the idea that nothing bad is going on, so that I have a clean conscious, so that I don't have to do anything, and I can go about my merry way.

These corporations and executives will only do it, if they can get away with it.

BP Oil Spill: Birds Up Close

BIRDS EYE VIEW

We're seeing first hand how corporations behave in mist of ourselves. We the stockholders demand unhindered, maximized profits. Externalize the costs, internalize the profits. Tony Hayward's only doing what the pensioners and 401k mutual funds have asked of him. Let's stop blaming the politicians and executives.

Ray Raphael: The Myths of Revolution

BREAKING THE MYTHS OF A REVOLUTION

Ray Raphael has written the book Founders: The People Who Brought You a Nation to dispel our notions of a revolution.

The American Revolution was not carried out by the leaders. It was a completely ground up, grass roots movement that was carried out by majority of the individuals of society. They would ride up from all around the surrounding areas (no small feat) for one night of elections They would get the politicians to swear allegiance to the majority's desires, ideas, and plans and to carry them out. If it looked like a politician was not loyal to the town's wishes, the people who gathered would get rid of them. The leaders such as George Washington were just there at the right place at the right time to end up in the history books. And that's what's not being told in history books. We are focusing on the wrong part of the structure that is a revolution.

To truly understand what Ray Raphael is saying is to truly understand the concept of "Of the People, For the People, and By the People". Viva La Revolucion!

David DeGraw on Max Keiser exposes Tim Geithner

PLANET OF THE PYSCHOS

Would you like to have the guy that was the head of the IMF, who during his tenure, destroyed numerous third world countries be in charge of your country's Treasury? Well it's happened without your permission or knowledge.

David DeGraw exposes the charlatan Tim Geithner, who claims to work for the public's interest as the US Treasury Secretary. It is no surprise, that during his term, IMF type hits have been pursued to bring the biggest economy ever in the history of the world on its knees begging for a new direction.

Scary, just scary. I was completely floored when I heard about Tim's background. No wonder we are where we are!

Food Price Manipulation

FEED ME! FEED ME! PROFITS THAT IS

First it was oil that hit $150 per barrel for no reason whatsoever in a recession year!

The speculators are at it with food also. It's a game that's allowed with people's stomachs. Futures, commodity trading, and speculators determine what price is paid for food around the world. It has nothing to do with supply or demand but rather greed, collusion, and manipulation by those who have the purse to buy and sell in great quantity. Who profits from the price increases? Certainly not the farmer.

Driven to eat mud - Ganne, India

CORRUPT TO THE BONE

What is it about a society, a system, a structure that neglects its people? If money or supply of food isn't the problem, then what is? Is it the corruption? Why are people so dismissive of improprieties? Take the problem to task! If a person does a honest day's work, is he/she not entitled to a fair meal?

Laws in India are in place to theoretically provide for the basic necessities through subsidies and distribution. The intellectuals of yesteryears have already thought it thought and implemented their plans. What sits in the way are corrupt workers and politicians who steal the product intended for poverty stricken end consumers. The cowardly thieves will eiher use it themselves or resell it for a profit.

Nip corruption in the bud or it will nip you eventually!

The Birds of the BP Oil Spill

IT'S FOR THE BIRDS

The oil spill claims a large number of birds. Here is some graphic footage.

Maybe paying double for energy from solar or wind isn't such a bad idea after all? Use less oil? Buy fewer things? Travel using less fuel? Just because you can, should you?

Are any BP executives going to prison? Will the investors see a smaller dividend or no dividend? As it stands now, a billion dollar dividend will be handed out.

Is this a classic case of psychopathy to keep allowing deregulation and not to punish those who've manipulated the system with bribes?
