We also have a huge Hal Turner thread at this link

Note: In post #1 (in the link above) – we’ve added around 300 or so Hal Turner archived downloadable shows in MP3 format. Let’s pass them around. Hal’s voice needs to be heard.

We’re pulling for Hal in this government witch-hunt. I think most people understands what’s going on and that Hal did nothing wrong. Please keep us as up to date as possible. We can’t allow the media to report what and when they want to. Also, we really need an address for Hal when one becomes available

Best……

Nigs and Whites battling it out on the jury – nig may walk for rape/murder of White female in college dorm room

Jury deliberations TO resume in EMU student slaying case

ANN ARBOR — A jury in Ann Arbor resumes deliberations this morning in the trial of a man in the rape and suffocation of an Eastern Michigan University student.

The jurors told the judge they were unable to reach a verdict Friday in the case against 21-year-old Orange Taylor III and were dismissed for the weekend. They failed to reach a verdict Monday.

The December killing of 22-year-old Laura Dickinson and a delay in informing the public about it led to the firing of university President John Fallon.

Taylor is charged with an open count of murder, which gives the jury a choice of first- or second-degree murder. He’s also charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Why an Income Tax is Not Necessary to Fund the U.S. Government

Why an Income Tax is Not Necessary to Fund the U.S. Government

Can this statement possibly be true? In order to answer this question, Americans must first understand what is the source of the money that funds the government and where it goes. Contrary to the sound bites issued by the two mainstream political parties, the reality of how the system actually works will not only open your eyes, but hopefully stimulate the American people to demand that the thievery underway come to an end.

Where do your “income” tax dollars go?

The best place to look for an answer to this question would be a government report, so let’s take just one at random:

President’s Private Sector Survey On Cost Control
A Report to The President (Reagan)

January 15, 1984. Available from the Congressional Research Service.
The excerpt below can be found on page 12.

• “Importantly, any meaningful increases in taxes from personal income would have to come from lower and middle income families, as 90% of all personal taxable income is generated below the taxable income level of $35,000.

• Further, there isn’t much more that can be extracted from high income brackets. If the
  Government took 100% of all taxable income beyond the $75,000 tax bracket not already taxed, it would get only $17 billion, and this confiscation, which would destroy productive enterprise, would only be sufficient to run the Government for several days.

• Resistance to additional income taxes would be even more widespread if people were aware that:

• With two-thirds of everyone’s personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal Government contributions to transfer payments.

• In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services which taxpayers expect from their government.”

How can that be? In order to answer this question, an individual must learn how the privately owned “Federal” Reserve (central bank) actually works. In a nutshell, this is how the scam works:

This excerpt from Debt Virus by Dr. Jacques Jaikraan, page 216 is very revealing. The “Federal” Reserve Act of 1913, requires the central bank to return a small portion of its unconstitutional gains to the U.S. Treasury. Here is an example of the numbers:

“In 1988 the Federal Reserve has an income of 19.5 billion, and it turned back $17.36 billion to the U.S. Treasury as provided under its charter.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 provided that a substantial portion of the Feds annual profits be turned over to the National Treasury. Does this fact dilute the argument that there are vast profits built into the commercial banking system? No. Consider for a moment that the total debt (public debt plus private debt) at the end of 1988 was in excess of $11 trillion. [Editorial note: Today it is in excess of $23 trillion.] Then, the discount rate, the rate at which banks can borrow from the Federal Reserve, was about 9.4%. Assuming the debt carried the same rate as the discount rate, there was an annual interest charge of almost $1 trillion on the total debt owed to the banking system.

While all of this interest payment does not go to commercial banks, an overwhelmingly large part of it does. The $17.36 billion turned over to the U.S. Treasury is thus much less than 2% of the total carrying charge on the total debt. which they created out of thin air. Now can you appreciate what is happening?” End of excerpt.

Our Founding Fathers, the ones our elected public servants are always chirping they respect, warned the American people about usury and unscrupulous bankers:

“If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power of money should be taken from banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

So what we have is a central bank issuing worthless paper “money” that controls our economy, our lives and our future. This private banking cartel was unconstitutionally granted this power by a devious, scheming group of senators back in 1913. In essence what they did was place the American people into indentured servitude by forcing The People to pay usury on worthless fiat currency (paper money created out of nothing), not to fund the government, but to enrich the bankers and fund wars in which America should never be involved. This system exists not to fund the government, but to allow the U.S. Congress carte blanche power to continue funding unconstitutional agencies and programs by providing them with a bottomless source of worthless ink.

The National Debt and the Deficit

These two little bookkeeping items are not the same thing. Few Americans actually know the difference, but the difference is quite important. We continually hear members of Congress, president after president, and political pundits call for “reduction in the debt.” But what does that really mean? Here’s how it works in the most simplified way to fit into this document:

Let’s say that for 2002, Congress and the President decide they want $1.7 trillion dollars to fund this bloated pig called our government. We know that 100% of all personal “income” taxes extorted by the IRS goes to the “Federal” Reserve Banking System and does not fund a single function of the government. So, let’s take the people’s blood and sweat off the table.

What other revenues does the government collect? Corporate taxes, social security taxes, constitutional revenues such as excise taxes on cigarettes, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, tires, etc., tariffs on trade, military hardware sales, and some minor categories. Let’s say that those revenues will total $900 billion dollars. The politicians want $1.7 trillion to spend on their favorite welfare programs, wars and foreign welfare, but have a short fall of $800 billion dollars. This is called the deficit and the deficit, created by the spending of Congress, creates the “national debt.”

How? Because the politicians are $800 billion dollars short, they simply call up Al Greenspan and borrow your children’s and grand babies’ futures. The “Federal” Reserve Banks don’t loan anything of value to Congress. They aren’t banks; they’re really an overpaid, powerful, private accounting service. When that $800 billion dollars worth of ink is transferred to the Treasury, it gets piled on top of the existing “national debt.”

This is how the magical money machine works. Congress overspends. It borrows from this accounting firm called the “Fed” and then turns around and tells you to pay for these crimes against the people. In other words, Congress basically pays the bills with social security and borrowed ink from the “Fed.” Pretty slick scam, wouldn’t you say?

The people of America are also responsible to a large degree for this out-of-control spending. Americans have been bred to a welfare dependent mentality. Special interest groups who have no interest in the U.S. Constitution, demand that billions of dollars be spent on their pet interests. Billions upon billions of dollars have been unconstitutionally thrown to foreign governments, some days our friend, a week later our enemies. They are only our friend as long as the U.S. throws money at their corrupt governments.

Billions of dollars have unconstitutionally been spent on grants to colleges and universities, which in turn sell their research to the highest bidder, paid for by the sweat off the back of the little guy out in America. No, they don’t return any back to the little guy who funded these studies and research programs.

As long as the American people themselves condone continued unconstitutional spending by Congress, the longer they will violate their oath of office, and continue to fund unconstitutional expenditures, placing your children and grand babies in a state of unpayable, massive debt.

Unless The People demand an end to this insanity, our economy eventually will collapse under the weight of this massive, unpayable debt, no matter how much ink the “Fed” transfers into the coffers of the U.S. Treasury. The pain of withdrawal from unlawful government hand-outs will be far less now than it will be down the road.

America became the greatest, debt free nation on earth by a resourceful, independent, self reliant people. Sadly, today we have a large percentage of our population who can’t get through the day without a government memo telling them how, step-by-step, with a redistribution of average, ordinary Americans assets into the hands of the unproductive. A very sad commentary to what made our nation great and prosperous.

But I heard the debt is being paid down?

What you heard and reality are two separate issues altogether. The politicians must continue to fool the American people lest they catch on to this chicanery. Let’s have a look at the numbers so you can see that any utterance that the national debt has been paid down X billions of dollars, is nothing more than bombastic gas, passed from one administration to the next and the latest recycled Congress.

In the chart below, an R next to the amount indicates a Republican President; a D is for a Democrat in the Oval Office. The Democrats had control of Congress from 1954, until the illusion billed as the “Republican Revolution” in 1994. Both houses of Congress were Republican controlled until after the 2000 “election”, but this ended when in May 2001 James Jeffords ‘fessed up to his real political agenda.

You can check the growth of this BORROWED DEBT by party here:
http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdhisto4.htm

As you can see, it doesn’t matter which party is in office, there is no surplus and the debt cannot be paid down, it can only grow exponentially as long as Congress and the President have the central bank at their fingertips.

A “balanced budget” is nothing more than good political rhetoric, but in reality, it’s a pipe dream strictly for public consumption. How can you balance your budget if you have no money to spend and are trillions of dollars in the hole? You can’t. It’s just another well crafted illusion to keep the masses pacified.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but the American people have awakened to this monumental theft and are demanding the only real solution that can be implemented: Abolishing the central bank, and a return to a constitutional monetary system with no income tax.

No “Fed,” no need for a direct tax

Without the central bank siphoning off the wealth of our nation, there would be no need for a personal income tax.

Did two hired assassins snatch weapons inspector David Kelly?

Weapons inspector David Kelly was the decent man apparently hounded to suicide after exposing Tony Blair’s lies on Iraq.

But the crusading MP Norman Baker felt sure there was something more to his death – and gave up his front-bench role to investigate the case.

In the Mail he revealed extraordinary evidence that he believes proves Kelly did not take his own life and was instead murdered by Iraqi dissidents. Here, he reveals how the murder may have been carried out . . .

While investigating the death of Dr David Kelly I have made many strange discoveries, not least some disturbing parallels with the case of a young American journalist named Danny Casolaro.

Mr Casolaro made himself deeply unpopular with elements in the murky world of U.S. defence by probing too deeply into their activities.

One morning in August 1991, he was found dead in a hotel room near Harpers Ferry in Virginia. He was in the bath, naked, with his wrist slashed.

There were no signs of bruising or other marks on the body and the police concluded that he had committed suicide.

But this was totally false according to Dr Christopher Green, who was the CIA’s chief forensic pathologist for decades.

Dr Green participated in Casolaro’s autopsy and last year he told veteran White House reporter Sterling Seagrave that the young journalist had been killed before being stripped, put in a full bath, and his left wrist cut in precisely the same manner as Dr Kelly’s.

And as with Dr Kelly, there was remarkably little blood, bar a small amount smeared on the edge of the tub, suggesting that the wrist wound had been inflicted after the heart had stopped pumping.

Controlling the News

(Note: The writer of this column, once involved in the newspaper empire of Rupert Murdoch, retired and then return to his profession but for a different employer. He has resumed his submission of articles on the control of the American media. Ed.)

New York, October 18, 2007: “I see matters haven’t gotten any better since I left the game. The war is still with us, Bush is still sliding down into the quarry and our press is still sucking up to the power elite as it has ever since the Roosevelt administration.

Aside from an enormous flood of lies from every government agency, we have now something far, far more serious to deal with than a nut President.

This is a super critical health problem now gathering steam in America. It is so serious that the media has been ordered, not asked, to keep as much of a lid on it as possible. This is not like the 9-11 coverups which have reached monumental proportions and which are causing a great public outcry.

What we have is a massive and growing outbreak of a deadly, totally drug-resistant bacteria called MRSA. As of the end of September, 2007, nearly 125,000 Americans have died from this and at least another 200,000 seriously damaged by the infections. None of these figures, which we get in from federal health people but are considered to be too sensitive to even discuss in public, are being published.

Since it is impossible to completely sweep these under the rug, like the 25,000 real dead in Iraq, the press is being told to mention this as little as possible and when they do, to minimize the reality of a burgeoning 1918-type flu epidemic.

Here are some facts, straight from Georgia: MRSA is a deadly bacteria found in all American medical facilities such as hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. It real name is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,

Currently, the death rate is about 85% and there is currently no, repeat no, known cure for it. The disease is very easily spread in medical facilities, even by touching an infected person. This disease attacks the immune system and the internal organs, causing a protracted and terrible death. Since infected persons exhibit no symptoms prior to the outbreak of the disease and are considered “highly infectious” according to the high-level reports, there is no way to quarantine people, no prophylaxis for the exposed, no vaccine for those who some into contact with an infected carrier. In addition, at least 350 doctors and about 1500 medical personnel like nurses and attendants have sickened and died.

This disease, for which there is no cure, is now increasing geometrically in the population. It has already killed more than AIDS, cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s combined, and shows no sign of tapering off. On the contrary, federal health authorities now predict that at least 20,000,000 people could “expectedly sicken and die of MRSA” within a two year period (at the least.)

What can be done?

Nothing.

Be sure you have a will in place and don’t worry about your family getting your insurance. Another aspect of this is that the major insurance companies will not pay out a dime if someone dies of MRSA. They have firms of lawyers who will see to that and since the insurance industry is so supportive of the Republicans, nothing will happen.

There well could be so many dead that mass cremations will have to take place to prevent the spread of the infection. I wish I had something less deadly to report but I can’t pick and choose.

And soon enough, I will be publishing some of the inside dirt on the 9-11 scandal that the press is forbidden to touch. The cover-up is really amazing! Let’s keep in touch, kids.”

Spigger comes all the way from Mehico to stab a man over a parking spot in Nevada

An arrest has been made in a Lake Tahoe casino stabbing, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.

“Secret Witness information was received after our local news media broadcast a plea for information concerning an incident in which a 23 year-old Carson City man was stabbed several times in a dispute over a parking spot,” said Douglas Sheriff’s Sgt. Tom Mezzetta in a news release. The stabbing happened Oct. 11.

Remengesau William Erunge, 24, of Reno was arrested Saturday on a warrant charging him with attempted murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

He is currently held under a $100,000.00 cash only bail and will be returned to Douglas County within the next couple of days to face those charges, Mezzetta said.

Grandmother finds body in freezer – grandson on the run

Police say body in freezer was male; suspect charged, sought

WARRANT: Suspect at large charged with murder; police seek to identify the victim.

Police issued an arrest warrant for the man who fled a Sand Lake apartment Saturday after his grandmother found a body in a freezer.

Elmer Seetot, 22, is wanted for second-degree murder, Anchorage Police Department spokesman Paul Honeman said Sunday.

The homicide is Anchorage’s 21st of the year, Honeman said. The victim hadn’t been identified as of early Sunday evening, although Honeman said it’s a man.

“Could be Native, could be black,” he said.

The body was found in the West 69th Avenue apartment of Ruth Seetot, the grandmother of the wanted man, according to a woman who lives nearby and a man who said he is Elmer Seetot’s friend.

Elmer Seetot was a frequent visitor and was at the apartment Saturday when his grandmother opened a freezer chest and discovered a body wrapped in plastic, police said. Seetot told his grandmother he was sorry and ran from the apartment, police said.

Seetot’s criminal history includes a number of assault and criminal mischief convictions, according to a database of public records.

“I’ve been friends with Elmer for about six months, and he’s been hanging out at my house,” said Anthony Conger. “He told me this was the longest he’d been out of jail his entire life.”

Short Dog goes down for a cop killin – what a pretty man

Little that Jaranard Thomas, the man accused of causing a Rialto SWAT officer’s death, has told police is true.

He is not Jaranard Thomas. He is Kris Antonio Wiggins, 32, a man who skipped bail in Grenada, Miss., and passed on a plea bargain for selling rock cocaine.

Instead, he went on the lam and landed in California.

Wiggins, who also uses the aliases “BeDuke” and “Short Dog,” left behind a wife who has, for years, sought divorce on grounds of

San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies were suspicious when they could not find any records – other than two traffic tickets – that traced back to Thomas.

He does not have a California driver’s license or any identification, said sheriff’s spokeswoman Cindy Beavers. He also doesn’t have a criminal record in San Bernardino, Riverside or Los Angeles counties, and the state Department of Corrections also has no record of him.

Investigators used fingerprints to learn Wiggins’ real name on Saturday. They also found he has had an active $100,000 warrant for selling rock cocaine in Mississippi since 2002.

“This validates (Rialto police’s) suspicion that Wiggins was involved in some sort of criminal activity,” Beavers said.

Police burst into Wiggins’ West Cascade Drive apartment Thursday with a search warrant in hand allowing them to seize any cocaine, drug proceeds or weapons.

A judge granted the warrant because a confidential informant bought $20 worth of rock cocaine at the apartment from a man identified as “Greedy,” according to court documents.

Wiggins was arrested Thursday morning after the drug raid ended in the death of a four-year SWAT veteran.

Officer Sergio Carrera Jr., a 29-year-old father of two, was shot in the head while a SWAT officer scuffled with Wiggins in the apartment.

Serial rapist now charged with killing his 19 y/o ho

He’s already been convicted of raping and robbing several women during a terrifying crime spree in the Ypsilanti area in 2005.

On Monday, James Holland is expected to face jurors again for the sixth time since June.

But this time, Holland may vigorously fight charges in the 16-year-old murder that investigators initially blamed on another man.

Holland’s friend, Christopher Jackson, was just weeks away from facing trial in February 2006 in the 1991 slaying of Lisa Shaw when investigators released him from jail. Jackson was charged in the death of his former girlfriend after the case was reopened in 2004.

But a stunning admission, authorities said Holland admitted he killed Shaw during a police interview concerning his involvement in several attacks and robberies of women near the Eastern Michigan University campus.

Holland, who had been listed as a key witness after apparently telling police that Jackson shared details of Shaw’s slaying with him, quickly became the prime suspect. Charges against Jackson were dropped.

Holland has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1985, including a 1991 bank robbery conviction that sent him to prison for 13 years. Shaw was killed two months before Holland’s arrest on bank robbery charges.

Holland is accused of strangling Shaw in her residence in Bryn Mawr Apartments in Ypsilanti Township on May 25, 1991. The 19-year-old was found bound with a phone cord, police said.

Holland was released from prison in April 2004, then jailed in January 2006 when an acquaintance accused him of attacking her in her Ypsilanti Township apartment.

A seventh trial on that case was scheduled over the summer, but Holland pleaded guilty to aggravated assault before jury selection in exchange for a one-year prison sentence to run concurrent with his other sentences in the rape and robbery convictions. His earliest prison release date is listed as September 3006, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Two beautiful niggers go down for murder

An “armed and dangerous murder suspect” and his girlfriend are behind bars Sunday, after authorities arrested them in connection with the killing of a 26-year-old man shot dead out of jealousy, a Broward Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said.

A tipster told authorities where to find suspect Antonie Faust, 21, who was hiding in Fort Lauderdale after the Saturday morning killing of Andre Hall in Pompano Beach, Sheriff’s spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright said. Detectives tracked down Faust and arrested him Saturday evening on first-degree murder. They also arrested Faust’s girlfriend Mercedes Forbes, 19, on a charge of accessory to first-degree murder, after the fact, Coleman-Wright said.

“The possible motive in this case is jealousy,” Coleman-Wright said in a news release sent late Saturday. “BSO homicide detectives said it appears Faust was upset that Hall was talking to a female acquaintance who lived where the fatal shooting occurred.”

Hall’s killing at the Regency Apartments in the 1500 block of Northwest 17th Avenue in Pompano Beach occurred about 6 a.m. Saturday. It was one of three homicides in Broward County that day, which brought the year-to-date homicide total for the county to 95, just one fewer than for all of 2006.

German parties blast crazy Bush’ remarks

German parties blast Bush remarks

German politicians slam the US President’s recent remarks on Iran, saying they illustrate the war-mongering policies of the White House.

“Such comments hinder the efforts aimed to find a diplomatic and peaceful solution for Iran’s nuclear activities,” said Ruprecht polenz, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the lower house of Germany’s Parliament, in a reference to George W. Bush’s recent remarks.

Polenz, who is a member of the ruling Christian Democratic Union, added Thursday that the warmongering comments have been presented in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s trip to Iran.

Germany’s Social Democratic Party also issued a statement on Thursday, describing the US president’s remarks as ‘irresponsible’. A spokesperson for the Party also described US go-to-war rhetoric as detrimental to the measures taken to resolve the issue peacefully.

Another German political party, The Left, said, “By issuing such remarks, Bush seeks to gain more support to pursue his hawkish policies against Iran.”

In a press conference held on Wednesday, Bush said Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons would lead to World War III. He didn’t provide any evidence for his claims.

“I’ve told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing the Iranians from gaining the means to make nuclear weapons,” he said.

Tehran insists that its nuclear program is solely aimed at peaceful purposes. The IAEA has declared that there is no evidence to prove Iran is developing nuclear weaponry.

Crazy Bush Bush ups go-to-war rhetoric on Iran.

Turkey shells northern Iraq

Turkish military has fired artillery shells into the northern Iraq border region with no reports of casualties, Kurd officials said.

“At 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) they shelled about 11 areas along the borders. There were no casualties,” the Kurdish official in Iraq told Reuters.

Kurdish rebels killed at least 16 Turkish soldiers and wounded 11 others in an ambush near the Iraqi border, Turkish security sources said earlier on Sunday.

However, it was not immediately clear whether the shelling and the attack were linked.

Although Turkish shelling of the border area is not unusual, tension has been growing since Turkey’s parliament authorized troops to conduct cross-border incursions into northern Iraq to hunt down rebels using the region as a base.

Turkish PM to hold ‘crisis talks’

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he would convene crisis talks with top military and government officials.

The talks will take place at 8 p.m. (1700 GMT) Sunday, and will focus on the latest Kurdish rebel attacks which killed at least 15 soldiers near the Iraqi border, Reuters reported.

“We will reach a decision after those talks on what kind of steps to take next,” Erdogan said in televised remarks.

His government is under heavy domestic pressure to send troops into northern Iraq to crush rebels who use the region as a base from which to attack targets inside Turkey.

American figures write to military

A number of famous Americans have called on the Joint Chiefs of Staff and all the US military personnel to refuse orders to attack Iran.

The American figures, including authors, rabbis, senators, vocalists, composers and dozens of other prominent Americans signed a letter on Oct. 2 expressing their views.

In the letter, they called on the military staff not to attack Iran because any US attack on Iran would be illegal.

“We, the citizens of the United States, respectfully urge you, men and women of our military to refuse any order to preemptively attack Iran, a nation that represents no threat to the United States. To attack Iran, a sovereign nation of 70-million people, would be a crime of the highest magnitude,” they added in the letter.

They also said, “We make this plea, also aware that you have no easy options. If you obey an illegal order to participate in an aggressive attack on Iran, you could potentially be charged with war crimes. If you heed our call and disobey an illegal order you could be falsely charged with crimes including treason. You could be falsely court martialed. You could be imprisoned.”

They noted that the American leaders often say that military force should be a last resort, begging the military personnel to make that policy a reality.

Hackers infiltrate Knesset’s website

The official website of Israeli parliament has been hacked, with profiles of several legislators being changed and assaulted by hackers.

The words “soon to be jailed” and “fraud” were added to the profiles of the Zionist prime minister Ehud Olmert and former finance minister Avraham Hirchson, according to Al-Quds Post.

The Knesset Guard filed a formal complaint with police after some Knesset members discovered the changes over the weekend and had the websites taken down.

Olmert, who was questioned twice by police a week ago, is facing three investigations over fraud, corruption and bribery.

For his part, Hirchson was charged on Tuesday for involving in the embezzlement of millions of shekels.

The corruption of officials at the helm of Israeli regime is not a new phenomenon and former prime minister Ariel Sharon was also accused of bribery

20 y/o nigger student rapes a 9 y/o White boy on a school bus

There’s a new development in a disturbing story first exposed by a NewsChannel 5 investigation.

A special education student has now been charged with raping an 9-year-old boy on a Metro school bus.

A Davidson County grand jury indicted Kolby Ryan Harris for rape of a child.

Harris — who was just days from his 20th birthday at the time of the attack — stands nearly 6 feet tall and weighs 190 pounds.

He’s accused of forcing a little autistic boy, named Gilbert, to perform a sex act — right behind the driver of a small, special-education bus.

School officials are still refusing to say what the two were doing on a bus together.

Blair emerges as candidate for ‘President of Europe’

Blair emerges as candidate for ‘President of Europe’
Andrew Grice – The Independent October 20, 2007

Tony Blair has emerged as a possible candidate for “President of Europe”, a new post created by the treaty approved by EU leaders at their Lisbon summit.

The former prime minister’s name was put in the frame yesterday by Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, who described Mr Blair as “a very remarkable man – the most European of all Britons.” He added: “To think of him would be a good idea.”

The treaty scraps the current system under which one country holds the EU’s rotating presidency for six months. It will be replaced by the appointment of a President, who will chair EU meetings, drive through its agenda and serve for two-and-a-half years.

Gordon Brown said: “Tony Blair would be a great candidate for any significant international job.” He added: “As you know the work that he is doing in the Middle East is something that is of huge international importance.”

But he said it was premature to speculate on who might fill the post because the appointment would not be made until the treaty had been ratified by member states next year.

There remain considerable obstacles to Mr Blair securing the post. Although he is regarded as a heavyweight in EU capitals, he is also remembered as the man who divided Europe by giving George Bush such strong backing for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Some EU diplomats predicted that he would not secure enough support from member states.

Friends doubt that Mr Blair would want the job. The new President would not be as powerful as the title or £200,000-a-year package suggests. He or she would help to shape the EU’s agenda and be seen as the EU’s representative on the world stage. But the key decisions would still be taken by national leaders from member states.

After standing down as Prime Minister in June, Mr Blair became the Middle East peace envoy for the Quartet – the United States, Russia, the United Nations and the EU. Yesterday his spokesman did not rule out him taking up the new EU post but said: “He is focusing on his current role in the Middle East.”

Other potential candidates for the post include Aleksander Kwasniewski, the former Polish president, and Bertie Ahern, the Irish Prime Minister.

Iran: ‘We will rub their noses in the dirt’

Iran: ‘We will rub their noses in the dirt’
Independent Online South Africa – October 20, 2007

Iran warned on Saturday it would fire off 11 000 rockets at enemy bases within the space of a minute if the United States launched military action against the Islamic republic.

“In the first minute of an invasion by the enemy, 11 000 rockets and cannons would be fired at enemy bases,” said a brigadier general in the elite Revolutionary Guards, Mahmoud Chaharbaghi.

“This volume and speed of firing would continue,” added Chaharbaghi, who is commander of artillery and missiles of the Guards’ ground forces, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.

The United States has never ruled out attacking Iran to end its defiance over the controversial Iranian nuclear programme, which the US alleges is aimed at making nuclear weapons but Iran insists is entirely peaceful.

Iran has for its part vowed never to initiate an attack but has also warned of a crushing response to any act of aggression against its soil.

“If a war breaks out in the future, it will not last long because we will rub their noses in the dirt,” said Chaharbaghi.

“Now the enemy should ask themselves how many of their people they are ready to have sacrificed for their stupidity in attacking Iran,” he said.

Iranian officials have repeatedly warned the military would target the bases of US forces operating in neighbouring Iraq and Afghanistan in the event of any attack and already has these sites under close surveillance.

Chaharbaghi said that the Guards would soon receive “rockets with a range of 250 kilometres (155 miles)” whereas the current range of its rockets is 150 kilometres (91 miles).

“We have identified our targets and with a close surveillance of targets, we can respond to the enemy’s stupidity immediately,” Chaharbaghi added.

He said that the Guards’ weapons were spread out throughout the country and so would not be affected by any isolated US strikes against military facilities.

The Guards are Iran’s elite ideological army and responsible for its most significant weapons such as the longer range Shahab-3 missile which has Israel and US bases in the Middle East within its range.

Voice of the White House October 18, 2007

Voice of the White House October 18, 2007
TBR News.org – October 18, 2007

“There have been many deliberately leaked stories about an attack on Iran but this time, it looks like it will go ahead.

Why now?

Both Bush and Cheney see that they are losing control, both personally and ideologically. They see the feared Putin making friendly with Iran and warning us not to attack. They see China and Iran, both perceived by Bush and Cheney as our enemies, doing more and more business with Iraq. And yesterday, at a televised press conference, Bush was attacked by reporters on camera. The reporter for the once-supportive Washington Times said, right out in front of the cameras, that Bush was now viewed as trivial. Bush stammered, glared and then responded that he was not.

During this conference, he was very angry and spiteful towards the assembled press and tossed hints that if the Russians and Iranians didn’t knuckle under, World War III was certainly coming. Many have seen this PR fiasco so it is not a great revelation.

Back at the White House, the staff knows that Putin’s growing involvement in international politics, in addition to his control of huge amounts of badly needed oil and gas has Bush, Cheney and their NeoCon controllers in a real and very dangerous rage. Putin has, and is continuing, to bait Bush and the insecure Bush is now being treated with contempt, his approval ratings heading rapidly to single digits. And what will happen? From the pinnacle of earthly grandeur, Bush sees himself being relegated to oblivio , and worse, in public.

People like Bush are incapable of accepting error so they always must have someone to blame for their own failings. Putin is now the focus of this self-hating lust for revenge, not the relatively harmless president of Iran. When Bush speaks in public about World War III, it is becoming very well believed here that he meant just that and threw that line off as a warning.

What do they plan to do, Bush and crazy Cheney?

Right now, they are thinking about attacking Russia!

Another possibility would be to assassinate Putin and yet a third, is to join with a growingly terrified Israel and attack Iran.

Connections at the Pentagon have said the same thing recently. They went along with Bush’s bluffing and leaks of imminent attacks on Iran but now, they tell me, it looks as if Bush actually wants to attack Russia!

This is pure nut stuff, considering that Putin is far more of a man and far tougher than Bush and, not to forget, Russia has a formidable arsenal of atomic weaponry and the ability to deliver it when and where needed.

The revival of the Cold War, such a pet project of the crazy VP is not the fault of Putin or the Russians but solely the child of Cheney who has his emotional and historical roots in the long-gone Cold War. Given the contempt with which both of these miserable creatures are viewed by their own military planners, massive leaks are certainly going to be forthcoming and if it looks if this deadly duo is going ahead, the military leaders will simply either resign en masse or send troops to the White House and take both of them away in handcuffs to be put on trial.

Maybe Bush’s head will pop off when then hang him.

War is coming and a very nasty war it will be…unless these two are stopped once and for all.”

Online Memorial Tribute: Emily Elizabeth Haddock

In Memory Of Emily Elizabeth Haddock

5th September 1995 – 21st September 2007

This memorial website was created in the memory of Emily Elizabeth Haddock, born in Cumberland County on the 5th September 1995 and passed away on the 21st September 2007, 12 years of age.

Remember Emily Elizabeth Haddock

From: Politically Correct Apostate

By Curt Maynard

On September 21, 2007, a 12-year old white girl named Emily Haddock was home sick from school. Four black males broke into her home and shot her in the head numerous times. Her body was found later that same day by her grandfather. Initially the police described the murder scene as “brutal,” but didn’t elaborate. Almost immediately a shroud enveloped the case and any further details have been carefully suppressed.

The four black males charged are Sherrod Nicholas Harrison, 19, Michael Graham Currie, 18, Van Roger Smith Jr., 16, and Ryan Jermar White, 18. Despite the fact that all of them are adults, including 16-year old Smith, given the crime, and two have extensive criminal records the media, and local police insist on referring to them all as “teens,” in an effort to mitigate what they’ve done .

Like the hideous race murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom last January, which has been effectively suppressed by the mainstream media, this crime too has been carefully ignored. Crimes like these are known as “hush crimes,” because they receive absolutely no mainstream national news coverage, these innocent victims are murdered first by the perpetrators and then their memories murdered again, sacrificed on the alter of political correctness. If they receive any news coverage at all, it’s local, just as is the case with the Emily Haddock murder.

What happened in Jena Louisiana with the Jena 6 is politically correct, because it involves alleged “black victims” and white perpetrators. In the case of the Jena 6, despite the fact that six blacks were the actual perpetrators, they did after all assault and seriously injure a lone white boy, they are amazingly transformed into the identified victims by the Zionist media, and the actual victim, Justin Barker, is all but forgotten, another sacrifice on the alter of multiculturalism, tolerance and diversity.

Being that the alleged persecution of six “good black boys” is politically correct, it receives 24/7 media coverage on all the networks, it also receives front page coverage in all the major newspapers and news magazines. They [the Jena 6] fulfill all the necessary multicultural requirements of an acceptable victim, they’re black and male, and Justin Barker isn’t. Had the races of the victim and perpetrators been reversed, you can safely bet everything you own that the news coverage would have been unending and if any group of whites sought to do what the American black community did in respect to gathering around these six criminals, the media would have blasted them as racists, bigots, Nazis, trailer trash and every other politically correct epithet set aside for white men.

I sent Jessie Jackson an email two weeks ago telling him exactly what I thought about him, the Jena six and several of the more recent hush crimes involving black perpetrators and white victims, including the horrendous murders of Channon Christian and her boyfriend Chris Newsom, Emily Elizabeth Haddock and a five-year old white child named Emily Rimel, who was raped and beheaded by a black male named Lindsey Bruce. His reply was short, sweet, and highly insulting, to me personally as well as to the victims of the above crimes, their families and their memories. Jesse Jackson said “While it is sad for anyone to lose their life so early, other things in life are just as sad … or even sadder…..” What exactly did Jackson mean by that, what “other things” was he referring to? How is it that these other things are “sadder” than having your boyfriend anally raped in front of you before he’s shot and set on fire as was the case with Channon Christian BEFORE she herself was subjected to hours of gang-rape, sodomy, torture and finally murder at the hands of four black males and a black female? Exactly what is “sadder,” that having your five year old daughter taken from you and knowing that her last moments of life were spent being raped by an adult black male prior to being beheaded by the same animal? What in God’s name is “even sadder,” than having your 12-year old daughter raped and murdered by four black adults that the media insists on referring to as “teens?”
Yes, that’s right, I said it, Emily Elizabeth Haddock was the victim of rape prior to her murder. Perhaps you’re asking how I know this since the local media and police have said nothing in respect to a rape. I’ll tell you.

First off, over time I’ve learned to deduce what the media isn’t saying by what it does say. Initial reports were that the murder scene was “brutal,” but then further details ceased immediately. Cops see people, even children, shot on a daily basis, this doesn’t qualify as something “brutal,” in the average police officer’s lexicon. Secondly, the autopsy report findings still haven’t been released to the public, despite the fact that the local media has quoted certain findings from them and that the murder happened nearly a month ago. Many people attempted to get the Moore County Medical Examiners office to release the report and were initially lied to and told that since Emily Haddock was a minor, the report couldn’t be released. I knew this was a lie, so I personally contacted the Moore County Medical Examiners Office via an email to Patricia Barnes, the departmental manager. She responded by saying:

“The autopsy report on Emily Haddock is not complete. It cannot be released until it is finalized. Please submit a formal request for a copy of the completed report to me via e-mail, fax, US mail or on our website www.ocme.unc.edu so that we have your name and address on file.”

That was more than a week ago, and I still haven’t heard anything from their office and believe it or not, I don’t expect to either. I filled out the required information in order to obtain the autopsy report and haven’t heard back from them, despite having told them straight out in the email I sent Mrs. Barnes that I intended to write an article stating that I firmly believed Emily Haddock had been raped prior to being murdered and would post that article unless they, the Medical Examiners office released evidence proving she wasn’t. I won’t allow this crime to disappear down the memory hole, no way! If the reader is interested, you can fill out an autopsy request form here, or email Mrs. Barnes yourself at pbarnes@ocme.unc.edu Hopefully you’ll have better luck than I did.

In conclusion, what we have here is obviously another example of a black on white murder that is being suppressed by the mainstream media. The reader needs to dig deep and ask themselves one simple question, and be honest with yourself, why? Why is the national media not picking up this story? Silence is NOT helpful, silence is what has brought us to the point we’re at today.

Wake up America, you’re being taken for a ride.

Vick’s compound on the market for $4.5 mil

Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has put his lakefront suburban Atlanta estate on the market for 4.5 million dollars.

A listing posted at Realtor.com says the embattled sports figure’s property at Sugarloaf Country Club in Duluth has seven bedrooms, eight and a half baths and has an estimated monthly mortgage payment of $23,206.

Gwinnett County property records show Vick purchased the home in April of 2005 for 3.7 million dollars. His yearly tax bill on the 1.5-acre estate is $26,720.

Vick pleaded guilty in August to federal charges of bankrolling a dogfighting ring in Virginia. He is scheduled to be sentenced December 10 in the federal dogfighting case.

He is expected to get at least a year in prison. He’s also facing two state-level felony dogfighting charges in Virginia, which carry possible sentences of up to five years each.

He was suspended indefinitely without pay by the NFL, besides losing millions in lucrative endorsement deals, most notably with Nike.

Nothing abuses animals like third worlders. I know of no third world nation that has laws to protect animals. Only White and first rate nations do. Third worlders abuse goats, chickens (cocks-roosters), dogs and any and everything in between. And nothing deserves to be abused and tormented. Especially by a tribe of lowly niggas or aztecs for their sole enjoyment and sport of placing bets while yelping as one animal maims or kills another. I will also add, the animals we use as food in America are inhumanely slaughtered. These animals could be euphemized prior to slaughtering to save it any pain. But because we live under jewish rule, we slaughter our animals under jewish law. The kosher method of slaughtering animals is to cut it’s throat while alive and watch as it slowly bleeds to death.

When I was a small child one of the worst things I had ever seen was the shooting of animals at my grandparents farm. Every once in awhile my grandfather would just walk up to one, say a few words to it, rub it a little bit and then shoot it in the head. I always protested but to no avail. He said he had to kill it because the animal was suffering – it was either too sick or too old. I thought back of how men would shoot their horses for the same reason, the animal was too sick, too old or had wounds/injuries that would never heal. I finally realized they were doing the best they could for the animal, rather than allow it to suffer for long periods of time, they shot it to relieve it any more pain. As hard as it was for me to understand as a child, I finally did – it was the humane thing to do.

On the other hand, I saw animals either shot, cut or their necks rung while being slaughtered for food. It didn’t matter the suffering in these cases. But, I understood, what had to be done had to be done. That was then, this is now, in this modern world, there is no rhyme nor reason to allow unnecessary suffering of animals, even the ones we use as food – at least not in the slaughtering process. And there’s certainly no reason for these nigs and spigs to hold dog-fighting and cock-fighting contest on our soil. This is a first rate nation, if these third worlders are too stupid to understand that, send their brown or black asses to a country that allows it, while denying them the right to return. And the ancient jewish method of Kosher slaughter? – exactly how is that important to American or to Americans? It’s not, these jews have a country, remember, they stole Palestine – time to ship these jews to that land and change the laws on our slaughtering process. There is no reason to allow our nation to regress back into jungle or even jewish law. Besides that, dogs are more useful than niggers, goats are smarter than spics and cocks? well, I’d like to shove a black one up a jew’s @#%!

Look White people – here’s what your tickets paid for — >

***One report stated the house sets on 1.5 acres while another stated 15 acres – more than likely the property sets on a 15 acre plot.

Please, please, I beg you – don’t let that nigger take me outta here!

No chit nigger! – here’s a five! – jjjj ju just stay away from me – no jive!

Caught on tape – an entire tribe of useless, callous niggers torturing useful animals. Sets them of fire, throws large rocks at them, and then watches as they suffer and die. I can’t help but think of how they cornered John Dillinger in that alley and pumped him full of lead. Most of the shots hit him in the back as he sought to flee. Or how those scoundrels in the 1930’s hid in the bushes and ambushed Bonnie and Clyde while slaughtering them unmercilessly while calling it justice. And these GD evil, hideous and sadistic niggers, who are fifty times more corrupt and a hundred times more wicked than the three people mentioned previously, walk our streets unmolested? Please do tell, how do we, as a people, allow these futile, worthless and appalling beasts to live? I can’t help but wonder what PETA will say about this (tongue in check).

‘Many in the US Military Think Bush and Cheney Are Out of Control’

In an interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE, the Amsterdam-based military historian Gabriel Kolko talks about the prospect of war with Iran and argues that many in the US military now view the White House as being ‘out of control.’

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Mr. Kolko, editorials in US papers like the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard and the National Review are pushing for military action against Iran. How does the leadership in the US military view such a conflict?

Gabriel Kolko: The American military is stretched to the limit. They are losing both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Everything is being sacrificed for these wars: money, equipment in Asia, American military power globally, etc. Where and how can they fight yet another? The Pentagon is short of money for procurement, and that is what so many people in the military bureaucracy live for. The situation will be far worse in the event of a war with Iran.

Many in the American military have learned the fundamental dilemma of modern warfare: More money and better weapons don’t mean that you win. IEDs, which cost so little to make, are defeating a military which spends billions of dollars per month. IEDS are so adaptable that each new strategy developed by the United States to counter them is answered by the Iraqi insurgents. The Israelis were also never quite able to counter IEDs. One report quotes an Israeli military engineer who said the Israeli answer to IEDs was frequently the use of armored bulldozers to effectively rip away the top 18 inches of pavement and earth where explosive devices might be hidden. This is fantastic, as the cost of winning means destroying roads, which form the basis of a modern economy.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Are people in the Pentagon getting nervous about how influential voices in the White House continue to push for conflict with Iran?

Kolko: Many in the US military think Bush and Cheney are out of control. They are rebelling against Bush and Cheney. Washington Post reporter Dana Priest recently said in an interview that she believed the US military would revolt and refuse to fly missions against Iran if the White House issued such orders.

CENTCOM [US Central Command, the military grouping whose responsibilities include the Middle East] commander Admiral William Fallon reportedly thwarted Cheney’s wish to sent a third additional aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf. One paper wrote that he “vowed privately there would be no war against Iran as long as he was chief of CENTCOM.”

Lt. Gen. Bruce Wright, in charge of US forces in Japan, told the Associated Press last week that the Iraq war had weakened American forces in the face of any potential conflict with China. He was quoted as saying, “Are we in trouble? It depends on the scenario. But you have to be concerned about the small number of our forces and the age of our forces.”

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Do you think that conflict with Iran is likely?

Kolko: All the significant economic journals (Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, etc.) recognize that the American and European economies are now in a crisis, and it may be protracted. The dollar is falling; Gulf States and others may abandon it (as an investment currency). A war with Iran would produce economic chaos because oil would be scarce. There are states which the United States wishes to isolate, like Russia and Venezuela, who can develop great influence through their ability to sell oil in such a crisis. The balance of world economic power is involved, and that is a great issue.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: But aren’t the Gulf States interested in seeing Iran weakened through a conflict with the United States?

Kolko: The Gulf States do not like Shia Iran, but they export oil, which makes them rich. They are dependent on peace, not war.

Rapper T.I. Heads Back to Court

Rapper T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., is scheduled for a 10:30 bond hearing at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Atlanta.

Earlier this week, a grand jury passed down three indictments against Harris. He is charged with possessing unregistered machine guns and silencers, unlawfully possessing machine guns, and being a convicted felon in possession of firearms.

U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said ATF agents didn’t target the famous rapper, but that’s where the evidence led them. Investigators say Harris asked his bodyguard to buy machine guns and silencers for him. Other guns were allegedly found in Harris’ College Park home.

Friday’s bond hearing before United States Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman is expected to draw a large crowd. After fans and media packed the courtroom during Harris’ initial appearance, plans have been made to move the bond hearing to a bigger courtroom.
