Is It Still A Wonderful Life?

Scrooge and The Evolution of Henry Potter

George Bailey's nemesis Henry Potter and the
"Potter scowl" aimed at fear and intimidation.

     The man was shutting the door of his car in front of Home Depot when a sudden gust of wind blew the  receipt out of his bag.  Another patron pointed to the receipt as it whipped across the parking lot.  “Your receipt,” he yelled perhaps thinking it would be needed if the man wanted to return something.  Bolting out of his car the man ran for the receipt and recovered it quickly.  “I just got back from Switzerland and a napkin blew off of a table and four men went after it.”

    “Picasso blew his nose on it?” asked the onlooker.

    “No.   The Swiss have that much pride in their country.  They won’t pollute their environment,” said the man proudly.

     Won’t they?  It has been proven in a court of international law, from the mercury content in Nazi gold held in Switzerland’s “neutral” banks,  that Swiss gold along with the long standing Swiss image of fairness and neutrality is tainted.  Not only did the Swiss provide safe transport for Nazi held Jews and other dissidents headed for German concentration camps during World War II, but German gold extracted from teeth was sent back to Switzerland for safe keeping in gold bullion containing elevated mercury levels  from  the fillings and other dental work pulled from dead prisoners and melted into small gold ingots.

     Dr. Errol Solz Kahn, curator of the Museum of Non-refined Nazi Bridges and Crowns, the Geneva  home for the unprocessed extractions from Nazi death camp gold procurement and  processing centers, is vocal about Nazi gold and Swiss compliance.  “I’m the guy who when my dentist says he is replacing one of my old crowns, the one that is “porcelain on metal” I ask “what kind of metal,” knowing goddamn well that he means it’s gold,”   said Kahn.    Kahn hands his dentist a baggie and says “I want my fillings and crowns.  Don't speak that 'dentist code' to me and expect me to take it," Kahn harps boldly.

    “This one was supposedly extracted by the 'Bitch of Buchenwald', Ilse Koch,” said Kahn holding up a three-tooth bridge of pure gold worth about $5000.  "She called it mein kleines Liedchen or 'my little ditty'," said Kahn.
    
     Kahn reflected on Swiss bankers and the classic Christmas film by Frank Capra,  It’s A Wonderful Life.   “Henry Potter believed that you cannot give the little guy a break, but Potter learned something from George Bailey.  History has shown us that Henry Potter evolved.   George Bailey argued against the tight wad Potter,  ‘What should they wait for Mr. Potter?   To die?  It is too much to ask that people have a couple of nice rooms and a bathroom to live and die in?  Is it?” asked Kahn paraphrasing Jimmy Stewart's lines from the movie.

     The evolution of Henry Potter is seen in the “housing bubble” according to Kahn.   Potter evolved from a small thinking Scrooge to a big time Scrooge.   “Thank you, George Bailey!  You are absolutely right.  We can give people a whole bunch more than that.  We can give them mansions in the sky with four car garages while they’re still adding on and then we can pull the whole rug out from under them after they’ve taken the bait.  Brilliant.   Give people what they can’t afford and you can own them lot, stock and barrel.   Use the dark powers of Wall Street and Madison Avenue and they don’t stand a chance against our brilliant mind-science manipulators and a supply train ready to bank roll their manipulated dreams before we  steam roll them into bankruptcy," said Kahn mimicking Henry Potter's character.  "Today, with the housing bubble's burst behind us and the pockets of too-big-to-fail banks lined with taxpayers' sovereign dollars, even world travelers like the man at Home Depot is sticking to small remodeling jobs instead of going into hock with another Countrywide, Chase or Citibank.   I'll guarantee he's also holding onto his gold molars," said Kahn.

     “Confound it man are you afraid of money?” Henry Potter asked of George Bailey like Henry Paulson had asked Ken Lewis the embattled CEO of Bank of America when his company did not need the 2008 bail out money, but was forced to take it anyway.

    “Damn right I am,” said Ken Lewis who was then forced to use the bail out money to buy a troubled Merrill Lynch, formerly Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner and Smith with the Pierce being the ancestor of Barbara Pierce Bush and relative of President Franklin Pierce, the backer of William Walker whose personal dream included a Golden Circle of slavery around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.  Merrill Lynch's CEO had been “handler” of Ronald Reagan, Don Regan, the White House Chief of Staff.  Dr. Kahn noted that in the run up to World War II Union Bank on whose board was Prescott Bush, was closed by the FBI for violation of U.S. neutrality laws by trading with Hitler's banker, Fritz Thyssen.  Edward A. Pierce, the stockbroker in Merrill Lynch, had like Franklin Pierce attended Bowdoin College.  Bowdoin College was also home to Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Hugh McCullough of Kennebunkport, Maine,  the close friend of Massachusettes' Senator George Hoar who not only decried American imperialism on the one hand, but was good friends with Mississippi's Edward Walthall, aide de camp to the Confederate's Jefferson Davis, on the other.  Hoar's personal secretary was a member of the Robert Taft and Alfonzo Taft family.  Alfonzo was progenitor of Yale's Skull and Bones in 1833.

     “I swear, the American housing bubble was all contrived.  George Bailey’s little S&L’s raped as they were during the S&L scandal of the 80’s and followed by the housing bubble of the 90’s and the bail out of the 2008 was all just part of the natural evolution of Henry Potter’s brutal value system.  Frank Capra could see it coming and warned against it, but what happened to him?  The fascist “business plotters” of the 1930’s, the same ones who were challenged by General Smedley Darlington Butler, branded Capra a ‘Commie’ just like they did Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer for refusing to build hydrogen bombs.  And so we were left with a brutal second rate leadership pulling the strings while riding into power on the accomplishments of greater souls,” said Kahn.

CEO being forced to take Paulson's
bail out money when his
bank didn't need it.

 

   “And what happened?” asked Kahn.  “Alan Greenspan who is one of our most visible cases of Helsinki Syndrome (captives identifying with their captors), along with Paulson, gave us the old ‘Greenspan Put’ that promised that  there was nothing wrong with the Reagan/Bush I and Bush II era of deregulation and that it was good for the economy.  Of course after 2008's meltdown he saw the light and changed his mind saying 'My ‘Put’ went ka-poot'.”

      “George Bailey, we loved you,” said Kahn.  “But the evolution of Henry Potter is now what we live with.  It’s as if mean spirited Mr. Potter became Santa Claus and then Attila the Hun,” said Kahn.

     When Kahn was asked if Ken Lewis just put on a good show and was part of the bail out plot so that he could appear coerced into a buyout of Merrill Lynch, Kahn said, "Sure that's entirely possible.  He could be suffering from Helsinki Syndrome, too, like Paulson and Greenspan.  Local banks remained 95% solvent in 2008.  That means that the local banks and probably the S&L's before the 80's scandal and plunder were doing a fine job of avoiding the kind of predatory lending that Potter championed and Paulson promoted, then 'fixed' at taxpayers expense.  Without Lewis you have no highly visible 'George Bailey' figure in the story and that would be just unfathomable.  George Bailey would still be some nameless local banker in thousands of small towns across America," Khan said adding "the sludge floating at the top of the septic tank, wrongly promoted as the 'cream that rises', does not totally abandon hope.  It's not good for public relations....theirs!" said Kahn sarcastically.

     Kahn noted that the housing bubble was aided by the Americans with Disabilities Act which in concert with the push for bigger and better houses was part of the housing bubble.  "Old was out.  New was in.  I knew an organization that revamped its entire facilities for hundreds of thousands of dollars for one disabled person," said I.C. Dahlite, CEO of EconoCastors, a Memphis, Tennessee manufacturing firm.  "Where is the Congressman who sponsored the ADA, Tony Coelho?   He went on to become Al Gore's 2000 campaign chairman and then on to become a Director at the George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential Library.  His payoff was better than Ken Lay's at Enron," said Dahlite.  "At least Coelho is still alive."

    Kahn believes that not since Senator Joseph McCarthy and his lawyer henchman, Roy Cohn, teamed up to carry out the "Business Plotters", John Bircher and American Fascist's agenda that we have seen such a high profile colonization of Helsinki Syndrome sufferers all in the same petri dish of American culture.

downfall and Cohn's journey South.  Cohn would be
characterized by actor Al Pacino in a popular
TV series Angels In America.

     "Frank Capra was indeed cut from a different piece of cloth from these other Jewish personalities," said Kahn.
       After Joe McCarthy's downfall Cohn went South where he did all he could to try to wrestle the W.L. Moody fortunes away from family control for his benefactor Shearn Moody...."dang near a dress rehearsal of the twins, Bill and David Koch, and their family battle over Koch Industries," said Kahn.
       It was the Koch brothers' father who perhaps more than any other  was responsible for not only the John Birch Society, but also for supplying Nazi Germany its jump start in petroleum refineries," said Kahn noting that even the Vatican was considering changing its longstanding relationship with the historic Swiss Guard because of the Nazi gold.  "When coupled with the documented Nazi 'rat lines' through Italy after World War II used in exporting known war criminals to the West through local Catholic churches a dark shadow is cast on the church which is still trying to recover from the Spanish Inquisition and numerous pedophile cases world-wide. 

GUN VIOLENCE AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY

Japanese Gun Control and American Diversity

By Riley A. Swelzgay CPW News Service

     In the wake of the tragic Stony Hook massacre politicians, social scientists and gun makers are lining up on both sides of the issue.   The NRA has recommended that American schools provide for at least one armed guard at every school.  Others point out that the placement of such guards has not prevented previous slaughters in states like Colorado.

     Igor Tripp, President of The People Kill People Foundation in Remington, North Dakota believes that reducing guns on the street will not solve the problem of what he calls the “troubled lone gunman who goes on a killing spree.”    A guest speaker this week at the Mall of the Americas' Gun and Ammo Show, Tripp said “limit the guns to a single shot 22 cal. pistol and he just carries fifty 22 cal. pistols in his book bag,” said Tripp whose new company Tripp'in Outbacker is manufacturing oversized books bags in China.  Tripp has lined up 42 appearances at gun shows across America all organized for opening in December and January. 

   Dr. Joe Seth Mingle, a noted physician, researcher and social systems analyst who studies homogeneous cultures and their effects on decreased gun violence believes that the reason Japan and Scandinavia have such low incidence of murder by guns is a combination of factors that could change abruptly under the right conditions.  
     “The Japanese have lower gun violence, but they take out their frustrations not on each other but on whales, dolphins and tuna.  This is a marvelous approach to curbing human on human violence, but unless the petro-chemical industry stops producing greenhouse gases and plastics that have now become a floating island of debris the size of Texas in the mid-Pacific, dolphins and whales will disappear as the Japanese solution.   Japanese may have to turn to other species like goats,” said Mingle who did not believe that Green Peace would send teams to defend goats against "goat murderers" like they do against "whale killers."  Mingle's recent article, The Social Efficacy of Scape-goating, has brought mixed responses in Japan and elsewhere.

     Mingle also noted that Japanese culture was significantly altered with the dropping of two atomic bombs at the end of World War II.  “Assault rifles were no defense against big bombs and those can’t be carried by individuals very well, though it's been pointed out that our new book bags could be altered slightly to hold a suitcase size theater nuclear device, so the Japanese turned to fishing instead.  It had less to do with an indigenous culture,” said Mingle whose father,  Dr. Karl Mingle, had studied as an American eugenicist the characteristics of Japanese, Chinese and Korean cultures and determined that humans are able to discern the smallest differences even within homogeneous cultures.  “My interest in noses changed to eyes for the Asian studies.  This led me to study and research brother-on-brother violence through the once NRA-backed Project Abel/Cain.  There we studied the Koch Brothers, David and William, the two twins who have fought a bitter battle over the control of Koch Industries.  William said that his twin brother David and Charles who control the private family company had made fortunes polluting and stealing oil from beneath public and native American Indian lands, a charge which David and Charlies Koch, heavy supporters of cancer and birth defect research, flatly deny.   Even twins are likely under the right conditions to blast each other into oblivion,” said Mingle citing the Goodman Syndrome, “but of course with the slow steady polluting of the environment that is something that will take care of itself in time, unless the Koch's research into chemo-therapy will find a silver bullet that counters the cancers created by other known petro-chem carcinogens.”

     The Goodman Syndrome is named for  Michael Goodman  the British twin who killed his brother by pushing his head against a door knob, leading Dr. Mingle to believe that gun control advocates are what he describes as "dumber than a sack of door knobs," to the relief of his former NRA financial backers one of whom said "a good Goodman would have been packing".

     Mingle noted that it was this discovery, that even twins could kill each other with relish,  that led the NRA to remove its financial support from Project Abel/Cain.  "The NRA told me that if Abel had been equipped with a AR15 rifle, with or without a scope, that he could have survived Cain's attack and essentially changed history.  Adam Lanza was not that much different from the children he murdered," said Mingle.  "Well, except for the Asperberg Syndrome which is a form of Autism, which has itself become the subject of recent Congressional hearings to better understand the unexplained growth of Autism which appears to have no genetic or hereditary connections.   Some think its connected to immunizations and others to things like  the release of Benzene in to environment or other petro-chemical contamination."

Adam Lanza’s Big Guns
by Winsip Custer CPW News Services

     How does a 20 year old with Asperger syndrome end up in possession of guns worth about $2500 presumably registered in the name of his mother?  Why has a tragic pattern of mass murder and suicide manifested itself across a broad spectrum of the American landscape, not just in the South and West, areas normally associated with the love of hunting, target practice and gun totting?

     “Either these are random events associated with some yet unexplained social phenomenon exacerbated by the break down in the American family, the proliferation of weapons, the arousal of primitive instincts triggered by post industrial dehumanization of the masses or computer game reinforcement of murderous innate instincts, an unseen health anomaly like a brain tumor of congenitally or environmentally triggered psychological  condition or something else,” said Richard G.  Russell of Hold The Center Foundation of Denver, Colorado.

Adam Lanza hair cut may reveal chilling indicator of
early Fascist ideations.

 

     Russell believes that what the media is dismissing as a great mystery is showing the signs of clear linkages.  “You could not choreograph with greater intentionality a case for the disarming of the American population than with what has transpired in recent years. The fear of losing your most precious gift, your children and family, will provide the impetus for Americans to freely lay down their arms so that a hard right or left political ideology can take control.  Behind this is pure evil.  The impression of a left-right choice is misleading.  In  reality a small elite group bent on control and consolidation of power  is pulling the strings.  It is mind control on a grand scale and does to a large population what such trauma does to the individual psyche.   This is especially true when children are involved.  It makes them mailable and open to radical redirectioning," said Russell noting that even the name of the place, Stony Hook in Newtown, lent itself to future exploitation much like "Remember the Alamo" or "Remember Pearl Harbor" were slogans used to speed a response to a tragedy.
     America, he contends,  depends on the center holding and when the center no longer holds the nation is ripe for the wholesale rise of tyranny from the fringes and, subsequently, as a corrective....to a new revolution....impossible without arms. 
     What has not happened in our public schools and colleges is equipping students with the truth.  Did you lean in your civics and history classes about Marine General Smedley Darlington Butler and his confrontation with the 1930's fascist American "business plotters"?  "Why not?" asked Russell.  "Because the center has been systematically eaten away.    America's middle-class with its middle-class core values traditionally protected society from meltdown.  Without the middle we have 18th Century France in perpetuity.  Now is NOT the time to be talking about gun control.   The center will need them now more than ever, pulled from attacks and closets, dug up from hidden stashes, but increasingly those weapons are supplied by a few powerful families hiding behind a corporate veil and deeply connected to the 1930's fascist group that is still very much with us," said Russell who also pointed out that Michele Obama worked for the Springfield, Illinois law firm, Sidley Austin, that in 2001 had merged with Brown & Wood, the New York law firm with deep ties to "National City Bank boys" for whom Butler said "I was a goon on three continents".

     "George Carlin, the popular Irish-American comedian born in  New York, educated in a Catholic parochial school and taken to Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California for his final heart attack, was HBO's golden comic.  As Carlin aged he dressed more and more in black like the Catholic priests he claimed to abhor or like satanist high priest, Anton LaVey, or his successor, Col. Michael Aquino.   Carlin would say...  'You have no choice' .  Many agreed.  Life is feudal.   So they take the bait. Most failed to see the connections.  'Your choice is paper or plastic,' Carlin would say.   One cannot visit a bathroom or kitchen, must less a gasoline pump, without enriching the Koch family whose progenitor, Fred Koch, not only built Hitler's oil refineries, but helped start the John Birch Society along with being a close ally of the 'business plotters'.    If it is made of paper or plastic the Kochs petro-chemical and paper plants had a hand in it.  Through a maze of interlocking corporate directorates throughout the economy they make money on both sides of every conflict, every issue," said Russell, "just like their toilet tissue and hand towels get you from both ends.

    Now is the time, according to Russell, to question all of our assumptions about government from the right or left, because as dissimilar as Obama may look from the Teaparty/Koch Republicans, they are, according to Russell, in bed with each other.  The Democrats and Republicans are controlled by the fringes....both of them.   Carlin was supposedly a liberal comedian, but he was reinforcing the company line. The aim is to make the center disappear so that a prison planet of slaves and masters can be realized.  "It's nothing to laugh at," said Russell.

 

     Russell has noted that Peter J. Lanza, Adam's father, is a graduate of Fairfield University, a Jesuit University, which is also the alma mater of California District Judge Joseph Russoniello.  Russoniello has been at the center of two highly publicized and quickly, but falsely debunked, truths systematically squelched by America's media. 
     “That would be Russoniello’s place in the cover-up of the Presidio child abuse scandal in San Francisco.  That scandal was connected to the U.S. Army and to U.S. intelligence superstar and Satanist, U.S. Army Col. Michael Aquino.    Aquino has also been identified as a participant in the  Jesuit related Boys Town scandal known as The Franklin Cover-Up by Rusty Turner, an employee of the scandal's primary protagonists, Larry King.  Gary Webb’s investigation into the CIA’s Iran-Contra drug connections in his book Dark Alliance  when read alongside John DeCamp's The Franklin Cover-Up pulls it all together.  John DeCamp was an aide to CIA Director and honorable Catholic layman, William Colby.  According to DeCamp, William Colby was murdered.  That charge was denied by Colby's son, but DeCamp's exposure of the Franklin scandal stands on it own,” said Russell who believes that the circumstances surrounding Colby's death like those of Gary Webb, Danny Casalaro and Mark Lombardi are all highly problematic. 
     Like Webb, Casalaro and Lombardi had put the same shocking loose ends together.  Lombardi, a former curator for Houston, Texas' Contemporary Art Museum died mysteriously in March 2000, months before the contentious 2000 Presidential election that would tetter between George W. Bush and Al Gore in Florida where Jeb Bush was Governor and where the "Business Plotters" families still sun bathed.  Lombardi's art work, on display at the Whitney, traced in visual form the Iran-Contra supply lines and could potentially tarnish the election for GWB since the Reagan/Bush administration had envisioned and enacted the whole Iran-Contra program with its drugs for weapons components.
     Russell has written about the methodical erosion of social stability and he sees Fairfield University as, ironically but also by design, a center for normalizing violence in American life.  Fairfield is home to the Charles F. Dolan Business School, named for billionaire media mogul, Charles F. "Chuck" Dolan of HBO and AMC. 
     "If people would just follow the money it would become clear.  To support the military complex's policy of endless wars the American populace must be desensitized to violence and blood letting.  How does that happen on a wide scale?  You take what had been relegated to crumby B movies and make it mainstream....HBO's True Blood and AMC's Walking Dead do exactly that.  Young girls strolling down Main Steet in the rain.  The rain is blood.  Walking Dead?  It's message is 'it's fun to kill people'," said Russell who believes that the flood of vampire genre' flooding the media does the same.  "Humphrey Bogart may have starred in a film that attempted to curtail violence like The Harder They Fall, but today's blood sport, cage fighting and the like, also make blood and brutality part of the American norm.  Add to this Colombine, Aurora and now Sandy Hook and all sanity is out the window," said Russell.

     Russell, originally from Boston, Massachusetts where his ancestors were in the whaling and shipping business, said that no American could understand the recent events without reading John DeCamp's The Franklin Coverup, Gary Webb's Dark Alliance, Linda Goldman’s continuing coverage of these stories in the San Jose Mercury News, Danny Casalaro’s story about the Octopus, and Mark Lombardi’s art exhibit at the Whitney Art Museum in New York City, the domiciling of Joseph Goebbel's memoirs by the Hoover Institute at Stanford, Donald Rumsfeld's purchase of Misery Plantation in Virginia, the iconic location for the renditioning of abolitionist Frederick Douglas and the connections of the Walker Bush clan to filibusterer, William Walker, who desired to create in the Caribbean region a "Golden Circle" of human slavery.

    "People need to be aware that the Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles office of the FBI, Ted Gunderson, had verified the marriage of Aquino to the U.S. Army and government.




Connie Mack (r) and Henry Ford (l).

     On December 17th, 2012 on CNN's Early Start, Congressman Connie Mack IV and his wife Mary Bono Mack made the case for stronger government intervention.  They talked about the need for gun control.  "This is an uncharacteristic response for Republicans," said Russell.  "Mrs. Bono-Mack is the California Congressional Representative, the home state of both Judge Joseph P. Russoniello and the Hoover Institute that domiciles the memoires of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi master of propaganda and on whose board is such notables as Donald Rumsfeld with deep ties to the power elites who date back to the 1930's fascist 'Business Plot' and which included Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Charlie Lindberg, John Burroughs and Prescott Bush," said Russell.
       The plotters all had  homes in Florida and several in Fort Meyers where Connie Mack took his baseball team for summer camp.  Today Fort Meyers is also home to Connie Mack IV.  Mrs. Mack, formerly the wife of California Congressman Sonny Bono, noted that the government should take a bigger part in providing a solution to the growing violence and that the CDC or Center for Disease Control had an established program for studying this growing problem. It was not until this tragedy that Mrs. Bono-Mack became aware of it.  "Since when are leading Republicans talking about the government taking a bigger part in people's lives?" asked Russell.       
     Connie Mack IV is the direct descendant of the famous American baseball player who changed his name from McGillicudhy to Mack.  Connie Mack IV retired from his Florida State congressional seat to run for Porter Goss' US Congressional seat when Goss was appointed Director of the CIA.  It was Goss who suppressed the Hitz Report which confirmed Gary Webb's investigation and conclusions.   When Webb's investigation threatened to spark an L.A. riot about the time of the Rodney King beating when blacks were feeling abandoned by their government and police, Porter Goss' replacement at CIA, John Deutsch, was sent by Bill Clinton to quell the riot.  It was at this meeting with community leaders that LA policeman, Michael Ruppert, came forward to validate citizens' concerns.  
     "Judge Russienello's connections to the suppression of Webb's discoveries in Dark Alliance and Russienello's previous suppression of the San Francisco Presidio child abuse case that included Col. Michael Aquino, a high clearance specialist in psychological warfare and head of the Satanic Church of Set now become clear.  Gary Webb had blown  the lid off of the government's drug connections," said Russell, "and he was murdered for it on December 10, 2004.  Today, the medical examiner who called Webb's death a suicide...two gunshots to the head....two...., should be hauled up on criminal charges for lying.  Perjury.  Hell, treason!" said Russell.

     Russell noted that Asberger Disease is a form of Autism and the origins of it along with the unexplainable rise in Autism is very much in the news.   The weeks prior to the Connecticut shootings  the issue of Autism flooded the American media as parents who questioned the cause for the rise in Autism pressed for greater government intervention.  "That puts more power with the government and CDC which will be counted on to provide justification for future legislation, but can you trust the conductors of the Tuskegee Experiment and founders of the Cold Spring Harbor eugenics studies to provide sound research?" asked Russell who noted "you've got to be one traumatized puppy to believe that the government....this government.....any government....is a benevolent and benign entity."
      After listing the names of the murdered children in his address to the grieving families President Obama said "God has called them all home.  For those of us who remain let us find the strength to carry on and make the country worthy of their memory."
     "God has called them home?" said Russell.  "Wow.  Can you use another method, Almighty, sweet Jesus?  I think a demonic personality killed them so they can't go home.  God will take care of this too, I believe, far better than any of us can now, but now is not the time to be traumatized by this tragic loss.  Now is the time to stand up and be counted and not to roll over and give up." 

       Russell continues..."It has been widely noted that a country that rivals the U.S. in similar gun violence is Germany where the nation observes very strict gun laws, but which produced Hitler and Goebbels and Himmler whose interest in the Thule Society, paganism, satanism is also a supreme source of  fascination for men like Aquino and apparently members of the Hoover Institute,  people who have been given full access to the halls of U.S. government and the Pentagon where men like George H. W. Bush whose nickname at Yale was 'Molloch' wield power.  Before we say that the U.S. has become like the 'Wild West' remember that before the 'Wild West' was the class warfare of Europe with its Thirty Years Wars and before that Attila the Hun's brutal rule and elsewhere the Mongol hordes of Asia under Genghis Khan.  Some things never change," said Russell.  "Personal responsibility and societal diligence are a must if we want to avoid another Dark Ages.  Gun control?  Yes.  Control YOUR guns!"

Unfortunately, Russell also believes that with so many of the "Business Plotters" who are American fascists and John Bircher-related industrialists controlling the U.S. gun production, even the NRA which is essentially their PR team and their ludicrous suggesting of posting an armed guard at every school may be part of their overall plan of disarming any and all opposition as quickly as possible.  "As misguided as the South was in supporting slavery, their real problem was that the 1833 class of Yale institutionalized a slave-minded culture of Connecticut Yankees bigger and stronger than the Southerners.   Future freedom fighters basing their love of freedom on egalitarian and democratic values will be branded by this group as 'commies' and like the misguided 'Johnny Rebs', true freedom fighters will find that they can't make zip guns fast enough to keep up with the newest fascist controlled-Springfield armory that supplies their captors.  The future 'arsenal of freedom' will be sling-shots," said Russell.

PUSH THE WHOLE CONGRESS OVER A PHYSICAL CLIFF!

FISCAL CLIFF DEBATE LEADS TO AMERICANS TO THE EDGE

Will Duit Nowe for CPW News Service

     A new poll by Sogby Pollsters LLC, indicates that Americans have had it with their leaders.  “What leaders?” is the increasing response from the American public according to Phillip Sogby the poll’s founder who said that the responses from the public are increasingly hostile.   “Send the lemmings over the edge, but not a fiscal one.  Isn’t that what the Grand Canyon was used for by Native American Indians when their leader went bonkers?” said one Buffalo, New York welder.

     “The public realizes that the worst Congress in U.S. history is fiddling like Nero while the nation’s credibility is burning.  Who do they think ran up the bills in the first place, Jenna Bush or her Daddy?  Then when Henry Paulson, Bush’s Treasury Secretary handed the bail out bill to Obama, the guy who’d only recently won a place at the Woolworth's lunch counter, they play a game of ‘pin the tail on the donkey?”  said Jack Feldman of Omaha, Nebraska.

    “Obama’s also to blame for not pulling the plug on the whole charade while taking it on the chin for being the entitlement President, but what can he do?   I know a Texas oil field service company that went from a $500,000 a year company to a $4 billion company overnight by morphing into a military contracting company that picks up spent enriched uranium shells in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Does that qualify as an entitlement when it's tax payers dollars paying for it?   JFK supposedly tried to reign in the out of control war profiteers and look what happend to him.  With U.S. manufacturing jobs going to children in China and India the only thing we’re really good at anymore is making brass shell casings, lead bullets, drone airplanes and missiles.  That means that we have to keep the wars going on for the sake of the home front employment figures and to justify those security workers at the airport who make you remove your shoes.  Meanwhile the rich get richer from their war profits,” said Billie Wilson a Seattle housewife whose husband recently died of liver failure from alcoholism after being laid off from his bullet and gun belt manufacturing job.   "A Quaker and a pacificist he started hitting the bottle and started making dud bullets like those Jewish slave laborers in the Nazi concentration camps," said Mrs. Wilson.  "When they found out what he was doing they fired him."

    “Congress is facing a cliff?” Wilson continued.  “Give ‘em a push!”

Pedestrian Project Targets Prison and Drug War Reform

Striped Joggers Running Down Injustice
 

By Ronald J. Reebok for CPW News Services

     Lester G. Moore  of the Joggers Against Privatized Prisons and the Phony Drug War have begun a forty year run for prison reform and cessation of what Moore calls “the phony war on drugs.”

     “It’ll take forty years to change things.  We have swelled U.S. prison populations by incarcerating people for minor drug offenses and those prisons are among the only growth industries in America and with their privatizition has come a gluttony for new inmates, secret prison labor that equates to a return to slavery and Shawshank-style corruption without any redemption.  Something’s gotta be done.”

     JAPPPDW is doing it.  Their members jog in prison stripes, thus calling attention to a national disgrace.

     “We have the highest incarceration rate of any industrialized nation thanks to our stupid drug laws and who is it that determined that, for example, that the use of Marajuana should be a crime crime.  Marajuana has actual food value so if were eaten instead of smoked it should be in the bins at Whole Food Stores,” said Moore whose first month of jogging in prison stripes brought two trips to the police station in handcuffs.

      “We assumed he was an escaped convict from some other county,” said Sgt. Michael Rivers of the Barksdale, California police who noted that while their prison uniforms are striped, Moore's had a number missing from the back of his shirt.  “If we had known that he was a normal person or that we’d be facing a civil liberties charge as a result  of his arrest we’d have let him run in pink underwear.”

     When told that in Arizona inmates wear pink underwear Sgt.  Rivers said “we’d have never stopped a jogger in pink underwear.  I’d have assumed he was gay or making a statement about stamping out breast cancer.”

     According to Mr. Moore the Reebok  Company has pledged support of JAPPPDW by coming out with black and white striped jogging shoes and Stripes Convenience stores in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas will provide half price Monkey Juice to JAPPPDW joggers who buy their Monkey Juice while wearing prison stripes.    “Monkey Juice will also donate 25% of the JAPPPDW sales to  juvenile diabetes research,” said Moore who is also founder of SOHFCS, Stamp Out High Fructose Corn Syrup.

    When told that Monkey Juice is filled with high fructose corn syrup Mr. Moore said, "Well we can't fix everything overnight."

Gordon Brown, Child Labor and Christmas Tears

United Nation's Special Envoy Releases Timely Video to ABC News

by Winsip Custer CPW News Services

 

     Former British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, now the United Nations special envoy on global education is the champion for the world-wide eradication of child labor.  This week 14 children were freed in India processing Christmas toys and trinkets for the insatiable commercial gold mine of post-Thanksgiving retail sales.

      Brown released to ABC News and to Yahoo a video of the raid that freed the children from their shackles.  “There in that sweat shop of horrors children were not Santa’s little helpers and elves,” said Sanjib Patel, a witness to the raid.  "The Christmas creshes were being glued together with tiny fingers often burned by the hot glue guns they were using in the fire trap tenements.  It was reminiscent of the poor Hebrews in slavery under the Egyptian Pharaohs or in the forced labor camps of Nazi Germany or like Oliver working for that damned Artful Dogger in post industrial England or even the children working the mines in Rockefeller's Ludlow, Colorado operation before their families were machine gunned," said Patel whose father, a mine superintendent for the British mining firm near Lahore, Rhodes and Rothschilds Ltd. Company, resigned to create the Helsinki Syndrome Survivors For Change.  "Survivors of Helsinki Syndrome come disproportionately from lower socio-economic groups trying to impress their captors.  HSSC has joined with PECKER, Power Elite Children Kicking Established Routines which includes relatives of John Walker Lindh the American Taliban whose father was legal counsel for Pacific Gas and Electric (known for poison water wells in Hinckley, California as well as it part in the Enron scandal in California),  Jim Morrison lead singer for the Doors whose father was the U.S. Navy Admiral in charge of the Gulf of Tonkin affair and William Ayers (friend of Barack Obama and a Chicago professor) the son of a Chicago industrialist who became a member of the radical Weather Underground terrorist group," said Patel.  Patel noted the similarities and differences between Helsinki Syndrome and the Oedipal complex that informed Lindh, Morrison and Ayers in their resistance to their own dysfunctional socio-economic and family systems.  Patel noted that when the CIA connections to the drug trade in Indo-China's Golden Triangle was linked to the Vietnam War it became clear that Jim Morrison's drug habits were serving a type of high flying upper eschelon young adult and child labor program that ironically flew for years under the radar of public scrutiny.  "Here as nowhere else the U.S. war on drugs is seen to be what it is and always has been.  A scam," said Patel.

      "The same was true of Lindh and Ayers," said Patel whose father's sweat shops in India were known as "Hotel Hell."

     “There is no parent in the world who would ever want their children to be subjected to conditions that you see in these films of children in dingy basements, without air, without food, without proper care, being forced into child labor for all these hours of the day.  I think that every parent who sees these films will want their practice brought to an end as quickly as possible,” said Gordon Brown.

     In Los Angeles, Rilley B. Goyner, spokesman for the child advocacy group Better Working Conditions for Child Laborers, said that he was appalled at the conditions revealed in the video.  “Child laborers deserve our respect and fair treatment and our organization demands it,” said Goyner, whose Hall of Names, a museum associated with famous child laborers who have also fought for better working conditions, lobbied the U.S. Congress to censure former U.S. Defense Secretary   Donald Rumsfeld for buying the Virginia plantation where Frederick Douglas was “renditioned” before being returned to his slave owners in the South, and appealed to several Roman Catholic Dioceses to eliminate the sexual abuse of unpaid altar boys.  From his prison cell, former Penn State football coach, Jerry Sandusky, reiterated his coaching mantra..."It's not what happens to you kids, but what you do with what happens to you."

     In response to Sandusky's comment one of his former players whose name never surfaced during the Penn State scandal said without wishing to be identified, "I was two days away from blowing Coach Sandusky's brains from here to the Hula Bowl just as the scandal broke and now I have to figure a way to get at him in prison.  I'm driven by Sandusky's shouting at me when I was ten years old.  "What ya gonna do with this?  No pain, no gain!" said the teary eyed thirty-two year old.

      Among the names in the BWCCL Hall of Names are Shirley Temple, Jody Foster, Brooke Shields, Sean Astin, Drew Barrymore, Drake Bell, McCauley Caulkin, Dakota Fanning, Elijah Wood, Ethan Hawke, River Phoenix, Linda Blair, Reese Weatherspoon, Christina Ricci, Tom Cruise, Kurt Russell and others. "I especially find hypocritical the way kids are used in movies like Taxi Driver, Casino and Gloria where it is quite obvious that they are not removed from the set during filming of the most vile language and situations.  I don't know how that stacks up against what my father did, but it can't be good for kids," said Patel who watched dubbed versions of Spanky and Our Gang while making Christmas creshes with other Indian children in the 1950's.  "The kids all wanted to work at my father's Hotel Hell because we had the only black and white TV in the ghetto."

      Priyanke Ribhu of Global March warns that there are some telling signs to American consumers of what to look for this Christmas.  Toys that do not bear a label of origin should be avoided.  A surprisingly low price for products and especially soccer balls made by British companies and featured in Bryant Gumbel's Real Sports documentary episode #138, Childhood Lost.  Among the soccer balls featured in Gumbel's story are those made by Mitre which supplies soccer balls to the U.S. Professional Soccer Association teams as well as balls sold in Walmart stores world-wide.

Farhad Izima and Billy Brighton favor better working conditions for Indian children.

 

      Little Johnny Falcon Talon, a native American child advocate who took on the issue of child advocacy following his own odyssey with child abuse in the American Northwest, has pledged to help children around the world who will join forces with his organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, receive training in 9mm and 45 cal. firearms and a course on how to conceal weapons.  “So far we have been joined by Billy Brighton and Farhad Izima who work for Toys R Us and Big Lots,” said Little Johnny Falcon Talon.

Johnny Falcon Talon of Vancouver, B.C. claims that
American children like these are in fact child laborers indoctrinated
in the false "bigger is always better" ideology
that leads to Global Warming, housing bubbles
and "other aspects of mindless existence".

    Falcon Talon said that his biggest concern was for the "deprogramming" of four child employees of AT&T.   "AT&T is responsible for not just the warrantless wiretapping that Americans are told is essential for our safety, the NOVA documentary The Spy Factory covered this fact well, but is also responsible for indoctrinating children in the ridiculous notion that bigger is always better," said Falcon Talon whose commercial interests include the construction of hurricane and earthquake resistant buildings known as "declining density structures". 

   "It's all over the place," said Falcon Talon noting that child laborers were selling products in the U.S. that were made in the third world, or in China where "God only knows what's going on in NIKE factories.  And we have no guarantee that products weren't made by child laborers in the type of working conditions that Gordon Brown had brought to the world's attention," Falcon Talon asserted.

Academy Sporting Goods where along with Walmart stores Mitre soccer balls made by
child laborers were sold. Academy uses child laborers (l) to promote sales in their advertising as does Net10 Wireless (r).

 

PAULA BROADWELL'S NEW BOOK

Paula Broadwell Announces Sequel to All In: The Education of General David Petraeus

by Cathy Opusdalilly for CPW News Services

 



     Simon and Schuster announced today that Paula Broadwell’s sequel to All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, will be available in time for Christmas.     Sub-titled Still Looking For General Zod, the book’s introduction is written by Tampa, Florida socialite, Jill Kelley. 

     "People cannot get enough of the Jill Kelley and Paula Broadwell story, “ said Mordecai Zuckerman, Simon and Schuster’s spokesperson who also noted that Mrs. Broadwell's proposed title, All In:  Up to the Hilt, was rejected by the publisher.  "We like the military imagery, but it didn't do justice to the deeper motives directing Mrs. Broadwell's interests in General Petraeus.

     Dr. Harvey Hykyte of the Center For The Study of Zod-Odditites in Roswell, New Mexico believes that both Kelley and Broadwell suffer from an acute form of the Zod-Oddity Syndrome a purely feminine obsession with military men of the highest rank.  “The key is the rank.  Rank is everything to these women.  Low rank triggers no attraction at all.  Tests show that the lower the rank the more the sufferer thinks of privies and potato peelers, foxholes and gun oil, though there is some indication that the thought of guns and oil triggers minor levels of eroticism, but not enough to cause them to want to mount the officer like Mrs. Broadwell mounted the pilings at the West Point obstacle course.  The higher the rank the better.  Rank, rank, rank.  They eat, sleep and breathe rank.  Whoever can outrank another officer will win the Zod-Oddity sufferer's interest and affections," said Dr. Hykyte.

 Center for the Study of
 Zod-Oddities in
Roswell, New Mexico.

 

     Jill Kelley, who wrote the introduction to Broadwell’s All In: Part II, was not initially interested in participating in the book.   "A seven figure advance sealed the  Simon and Schuster offer," said Zuckerman who also announced that he has signed an agreement with Dr. Harvey Hykyte to published his new book The Heartbreak of Zod-Oddity:  Rank And the Women Who Reach For It.

    Challenging Dr. Hykyte's assumptions and diagnosis of Mrs. Broadwell's disorder is Dr. Fleming Eon Goldman.  "This has all the making of a counter intelligence move," said Goldman who has served for thirty two years as president of the American Counter-Intelligence Society for Intellectual Advancement of Public Disclosure.  "I believe that the only thing in Mrs. Broadwell that is anything like the luny wingnut that chased General Zod is the fact that she was the sharp stick with which General Petraeus could gouge out his own eyes and become forever associated with the not-nearly-good, the bad and the really alluring whose ugliness is soul deep.  That stick could have been married or single, brunette, red head or blond,  male or female depended on the General's sexual orientation, but whoever the powers that be used, the results are the same.  The man took himself out of the picture in a way that effectively severs the institutional memory on a sxxx-load of military dirty dealing," said Goldman.

Petraeus Blinded Like Belisarius by the Well-Clothed Emperor

Petraeus Affair The Sacrificial Blinding of the American Belisarius

By Winsip Custer

 

    National Review Magazine On-Line has called him a “modern Belisarius” on November 19^th, 2012.  That was 14 months after this reporter had made the comparison on September 14, 2011 in an article titled Petraeus,Westhusing and the Lessons of Belisarius.  The NRMOL comparison uses the analogy inappropriately.  The writer, Victor Davis Hanson, an honored historian who has taught at the numerous U.S. military academies and think tanks should have known better.  A professor at Stanford and a fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institute, Dr. Hanson's associates there include Condoleeza Rice,  Donald Rumsfeld, Edwin Meese and George Schultz.  Stanford University will, of course, be forever associated with its namesake, Leland Stanford, one of the  first U.S. Transcontinental Railroad's "Big Four".  It will also be associated with Myron Du Bain, president of the Stanford Research Institute and the "men who stare at goats" experiments of the CIA's MK-Ultra program.  Hanson sees the West as the giver of enlightenment through military conquest, a role that was honed by the Greeks.  In a recent discussion on his book on the Peloponesian Wars, Hanson explained that Iraq, Afghanistan and other tribally led regions are parasites.

     Frederick Mellon, noted economist whose Eco-Echo-Micro-Macro Theory has convincingly argued that all humans and human organizations on planet earth, however enlightened they appear to be, are simply parasites sucking the resources out of a dying planet.  "Who are you going to believe?" asked Mellon.  "The truth or a nose picking professor who was probably part of du Bain's LSD experiments at Stanford and whose bad trip left him with a fixation on white soxs?"

General Smedley Darlington Butler.
 

    The Hoover Institute is no stranger to propaganda.  It domiciles the papers of Nazi propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels.  Dr. Hanson has been a staunch defender of Donald Rumsfeld who purchased the plantation where U.S. abolitionist Frederick Douglas was renditioned before his return to the South....."Misery Plantation".   If ownership of such a high profile icon in humanity's struggle against tyranny was intended to serve as a constant reminder to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeldt that forgetting history dooms one to repeat it, the Plantation's purpose was thwarted at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq.

     A fifth generation California vineyard keeper, Hanson has written what critics have called a non-apologist's assessment of the American family farm.  Fields Without Dreams was a eulogy not a call to arms. 
     One review said of Hanson's book: "As we read this book it became clear that Professor Hanson's uniformly negative opinions of the people who now support themselves as professional farmers are truly clouded by his amateur status as a farmer. The sad thing is that he does not see that himself. In case you are wondering, his profession is, after all, that of College professor."  Another says that he personally knows Hanson and then provides a litany of Hanson's accomplishments in his family's California's grape and raisin business.  What is clear is that someone, perhaps Hanson's father or those of his powerful friends at Hoover ate sour grapes and set the children's teeth on edge when it comes to America's smaller farms.  We know, for example, that George Schultz's company, Bechtel, was involved in Bolivia's water wars whereby the World Bank promised clean water if the people signed over all their access to water, even rainwater, to the corporation which would charge the people about 20% of their annual household income.
    Recognizing the corporatization of the family farm, illustrated recently by ConAgra's multi-billion dollar purchase of Ralsco, Hanson's inclusion in the California wine culture puts him squarely within the company of Robert P. "Bobby" Koch, the Wine Institute's chief Washington lobbyist and husband of George Herbert Walker Bush's only daughter, Dorothy, sister of George Walker Bush.  Jenna Bush, Dorthy's neice, spent time after college writing a book about the poor of South America while touring the 100,000 acre family property near the headwaters of the Amazon just across the border of Bolivia and Brazil in Paraguay. 

    When one takes a good close gander at propaganda, however seemingly sophisticated and credentialed the source, it becomes evident that the truth never speaks for itself.  The truth must be championed.  If you cannot trust that the map that you are following is trustworthy, you are as likely to end up in Auschwitz or Abu Ghraib instead of your intended destination, Albuquerque.   Believe it or not, history is replete  with examples of  lighthouse keepers that move the light at night so that unsuspecting sailors trusting their bearings are misdirected to run aground for the salvage value of their ships and cargo....a fairly accurate analogy to the U.S. ship of state.

 

      The bizarre nature of the outing of not only General Petraeus, but also of a colleague, General John R. Allen, has Republicans and Democrats pointing fingers wildly at what they assert was a politically motivated action.  Either it was to cover over what Petraeus knew of the Benghazi embassy attack or it was, according to some Democrats, a public disclosure that was aimed at embarrassing Obama as inept.   His opponents claimed he should have known that the George W. Bush appointed head of the Iraqi “surge” and General whom Obama kept in the saddle to become the  new CIA Director, was seriously compromised.    

     The assumption is that the President would have handled all of these events differently, more expeditiously, with greater wisdom and decorum, if he were an effective leader who had prevented the death of four in Benghazi as George W. Bush had failed to do with 2,753 at the World Trade Center in spite of advanced warning of terrorist plots to use domestic aircraft as missiles.  At the very least, it was being argued when the Petraeus story broke, that Obama should have been honest about the events in Benghazi and on the home front, allowing a celebrated U.S military officer to retire from public office graciously and gracefully with the least possible damage to his family, his wife and children and the organizations he has served.  Which if Obama was trying to protect his reputation is what would have happened through top-down pressure brought to bear on lower level FBI agents from Director Mueller long before the well-timed waste-bearing flatulence hit the politically spinning fan blades. 

     Was Petraeus that much different from William Jefferson Clinton or Barney Frank except for the absence of the Clinton/Lewinski power differential within the workplace and Frank's sexual orientation?  A tragedy is still a tragedy, but even sex scandals repeat themselves differently as these examples clearly show and with widely different outcomes.

   Unfortunately, a reasoned approach to the crisis and civil decorum is not what happened.  What happened is high school all over again.  The scandalous emails were, from all outward appearances, released in such a way to provide the greatest collateral damage like a terrorist bomb detonated in a town square during a community carnival,  like a fog of Agent Orange spray blasted to defoliate the underbrush of the U.S. Presidential election, or Corexit sprinkled into the froth to sink the grease and grunge that the nation's leaders had in a deeper sense created.  Why had not the NSA who reads every one's emails long ago read Petraeus' and Allen's even if the FBI hadn't and doesn't the NSA talk to the President?  Of course, Obama didn’t elevate Petraeus.  Bush did. 
     The decider of “Mission Accomplished”, yellow cake uranium and countless other political missteps put Petraeus in charge.  Petraeus' leadership was to  help fuel a planned terrorism-on-the-run out of control war, two wars, Iraq alone to have cost a measly $60 billion and which now sits at over $1.5 trillion and still the nation that we had a clear hand in breaking is a disgusting mess.   We were told by General Colin Powell we would fix what now remains an open sore and monument to the stupidity of war.  The dead and wounded?  How does one put a price tag on that?  
     One would think that George Walker Bush's ancestor was Texas Ranger Samuel Hamilton Walker for whom the Colt Walker pistol is named. Perhaps to the nutty filibustering fruitcake, that "gray-eyed man of destiny", William Walker.  Or that Bush's friends at Yale are heavily invested in everything from gunpowder, to lead mines, to tank track makers, military uniform contractors like General Patton's family who was a major supplier of WWII uniforms, or to spent ordinance picker-uppers and mine diffusers whose no-bid contracts with the Pentagon are mired in secrecy in a system that morphed from liberators to  the subject of Eisenhower's  departing advice and warning, ironically given from a war hero who had made a fine living off of the complex, expanded its arsenal like no other and was said by Harry Truman to have defeated the Nazis "only to become one."

   Petraeus has long been compromised.  Holly Petraeus was the West Point Commandant’s daughter.  Her husband appears to have been picked early for a major role in the U.S. military establishment.  In addition he had suffered a traumatic case of “friendly fire” at Fort Campbell, Kentucky where a soldier, according to various accounts of what happened, fell or tripped, accidentally (or on purpose?) perfectly perforating the young officer’s lung.  Rushed to the hospital his wound was closed by none other than George W. Bush’s closest ally in the Senate, Senator Dr. William "Bill" Frist from Tennessee, whose business partner at Columbia-HCA Hospitals, Richard Scott, went on to become the Governor of Florida where the two Generals unwisely succumbed to the affections and friendship of Mrs. Kelley, also a friend of the FBI agent who reported the General’s indiscretions.  How such a state as Florida became the playground for Mrs. Kelley is beyond most of us until we remember Jeb Bush and Texas' Richard Scott have been its governors with Scott's place in the annals of corporate fraud forever concreted by the $1.7 billion Columbia-HCA Medicare fraud fine his company paid before its failure and his $400 million severance package much of which he used to gain his cushy Florida government job.  Florida, where not only have the ethics of public service mutated, but where the effects of Global Warming have etched away the beaches where once Delores Hart, now a cloistered nun, was wooed on the silver screen by actor George Hamilton in Where the Boys Are in 1962.  Another 50 years and the remake will have the spring breakers partying on the beach in  front of the Florida's Governor's Mansion in Tallahassee.

    More significantly, General Petraeus was compromised in his role as the leading commander in Iraq’s Green Zone.   There, following a heated encounter with West Point’s top ethicist and beloved teacher-warrior and a man concerned with the concept of ‘just wars’…  a man who was charged with the training of an indigenous security force which had not been adequately considered before the invasion, Colonel Theodore “Ted” Westhusing, who would be "sullied no more", Westhusing died mysteriously, tragically and disbelievingly for many who knew him.  Westhusing’s story is told in Christian T. Miller’s book Blood Money and raises, without mentioning specifically Belisarius, the specter of a Belisarius-like drama unfolding.  The Westhusing confrontation with Petraeus followed within hours  by Westhusing’s questionable “suicide” shows that the two men were likely following the same course that led to Belisarious’ blinding.   Loyally do the Emperor's bidding and you will be blinded.  Each of the men in their own way were being sacrificed on the altar of the brutal power elites' tribal home-front protectionism that included the promulgation of endless war abroad and the camouflaging of family empire building through privatized security company revenue streams and no-bid defense business arrangements under the bigger banner of national patriotism

     Investigative reporters for Dunkelheitslügen, the German off-line political journal, Mort Zartorbach and Albert Teller Oppenheimer agree.  “You don’t have to be a nuclear physicist to see that this Petraeus case is nuttier than a Filbert orgy at a Brazil nut convention," said Zartorbach.

     “I’d say that the military in and around Tampa Bay, the old stomping ground of Mob boss, Carlos Trafficante, is probably trafficking in a network of toxic Tampa housewife wannabe babes all siliconed up  and  stooping, not just from the weight of the silicone,  to do anything to feel important.  Throw in an FBI agent with an irrational interest in the inner workings of the this twisted sludge and a Bond girl bimbo who likes to play with guns and walla!  Just what the newest Karl Rove or Lee Atwater ordered as a last minute attempt to swing the election away from Obama," said Zartorbach.

     “Behind all this is more than Petraeus’ interest in Broadwell’s behind.  The errant bullet through the General’s young lung patched by Senator Frist, would have had the effect of preparing him for a role in the military machinery as perfectly fitted to taking orders from the real powers behind the Presidency as a finely tuned transmission cog in the heart of a Mercedes Benz.  If Obama is slow to redirect this carefully orchestrated train wreck, his is no fool.  Petraeus could be counted on to  prolong the wars that Obama seems in no hurry to stop and to keep the greasing a tightly guarded secret.  Until the leaking emails, that is.   Now Petraeus is in a position to retreat from the front of the public and secret wars where he can do no real damage….now that  Westhusing and Pat Tillman are gone along with many of the Seal Team 6 that took out Osama Bin Laden,” said Oppenheimer noting that he agreed with many who thought that the timing on the Bin Laden capture and burial at sea seemed far too convenient.  "This is how Petraeus is blinded by the Emperor like Belisarius," said Oppenheimer.

     “I’d like to interview and investigate that soldier who fired the shot at Petraeus at Fort Campbell.  My bet is that he is dead or on some secret assignment in Manchuria,” said Zartorbach.  “I’d start with the premise that Frederick W. Humphries is closely connected to families deeply invested in the U.S. military complex’s historic families…..Brown,  Root,  Walker…that connection could be traced to U.S. defense contracting companies and mining operations or heavy equipment companies that benefit from the raping and pillaging of foreign nations for the mineral and other assets that can be extracted to extend the Empire, made up as they are of many smaller family business empires,” said Zartorbach as Oppenheimer noted that FBI Agent Humphries' wife is Sara Walker Humphries.

     “It’s business as usual,” said Zartorbach suggesting that the uninformed read General Smedley Darlington Butler’s book War Is A Racket and Col. Daniel Marvin’s Expendable Elite which he said "could just as easily been the title of a book about Belisarius as about Marvin's experiences as a Green Beret in Cambodia.   During the Viet Nam War Marvin's encounter with the CIA and U.S. political power echoes the courage of Col. Westhusing and Pat Tillman  in Iraq and Afghanistan, but unlike them Marvin lived to tell about it," said Zartorbach.  "When Marvin went to publish his story the Special Forces Association representing members of all U.S. Special Forces groups....Berets, Delta Force, Navy Seals, Army Rangers,  turned on him and sued him for libel in the most conservative state in the U.S., South Carolina.  Figuring that he'd not dare show up in court, Marvin, who refused the CIA orders to pull off the execution of the Cambodian prince, showed up in court and won the case.  Petraeus could one day tell the truth about his military experiences, but sadly the present situation takes away so much of his credibility that it's not likely that he would be believed by the discerning or, more to the point, that he could dodge another bout of "friendly fire" likely ordered  by shadowy figures whose closest thing to real combat is bird hunting. 

     General Smedley Darlington Butler's battle with the "Business Plotters" who planned the overthrow of FDR by asking Butler to lead a 500,000 soldier army in a coup d'tat was led by Harvey Firestone, Henry Ford, John Burroughs, Charles Lindberg and Prescott Bush whose  position as a director of the FBI targeted Union Bank, was joined by Hitler's banker, Fritz Thyssen.  Critics would say that Thyssen was jailed by Hitler in Germany, but that was after the Union Bank's dealings with Germany were already disclosed severely curtailing Thyssen's usefulness to the Nazis.  In the 1930's as with Henry Ford's earlier mission to keep Americans out of any militarized peace keeping role in the lead up to World War I with his peace initiative and "Ship of Fools", was the unparalleled access of Louis P. Lochner to Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler and others at the top of the Nazi's mechanized pyramid of death and destruction. 
      
     The real truth about the Petraeus case in all likelihood, like the eyes of the blinded Belisarius who had done the emperor's dirty work only to be hauled up on who knows exactly what charges or like so many killed in Iraq and Afghanistan like Westhusing and Tillman, will never again see the sunlight of a new day.  Not without many more willing to be silenced like Westhusing and Tillman. Turning a blind eye leads inevitably to turning a blind eye.  Not turning an eye is to invite a sharp stick!  Few will pay that price and the evil ones bank on it.
