When the mainstream media is silent about certain going-ons it is to be expected for they are financed by the self elected elite of the world. But when the alternative media across the board is also silent one must begin to wonder to what degree it has been infiltrated and controlled as well.

On the 9th of January 2010 a news event began which set a world record, yet there was not one mention of this historic event anywhere in your main stream media. Likewise there wasn’t even a hint about it anywhere in your alternative media either. We need to be aware of all media both main stream and alternative because they could be partners lying in the same bed together. Just what was this historic event?

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has directed the Pentagon to replace the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy with one that will allow openly gay men and women to serve in the military.

According to sources inside the Pentagon, changes to be implemented include

In the movie the “Silver Streak” with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, the engineer placed a tool box on the dead-man switch in the locomotive and the train became a runaway.  It crashed into the train station in downtown Chicago, totally destroying the station ….. in the movie of course.

In effect, Obama and the current congress have placed a tool box on America’s dead man switch and we, the passengers, are on a runaway.  The tool box is filled to over flowing with unconscionable, runaway spending.  But when the America-train finally crashes, it won’t be a train station that gets destroyed, it will be the death of American freedom and sovereignty. 

Dear Mr. Ben Bernanke and Mr. Timothy Geithner,

Please consider this an official, although public, request for government documents as permitted under the Freedom of Information Act.

Specifically, I request all documention relative to the degradation of America’s lovely “greenbacks.” I want to know exactly who requested the treasonous changes; exactly who authorized the violation of our classic and signature currency; exactly who implemented the changes. Please include copies of all proposals, agreements, and law(s), including copies of all official signatures, as well as a list of who voted, and how they voted, to change our money. (The coins are looking quite fake, as well. Did all of the treasury artists retire and take the molds with them?)

Does ‘She” have what it takes. We think not, but she’s great to look at. Watch out suckers! Don’t be had again. The last person to offer hope and change – is sitting in the White House – and look what that got you! (Ed.)

NASHVILLE — After flirting coyly for months, Sarah Palin this weekend launches an aggressive play to become the leader of the tea party movement, a move with major political upside for the former Alaska governor but also one rife with risk.

Her positioning could boost her prospects of securing the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, which she is widely believed to be eyeing. And the tea party is a natural fit for Palin, whose populist anti-Washington rhetoric and working mom persona have made her a movement favorite since its grass-roots activists burst onto the scene last year in opposition to the big-spending initiatives of President Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress.

There a secret, hiding in plain sight, that every American should know about. Your life may depend on it.

In the mid-1990′s, wolves were “re-introduced” to areas of the West under the auspices of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in accordance with the “Endangered Species Act”.

I will digress here for a moment and explain why quotes are used around the word “re-introduced”. The word re-introduced means to bring back a species indigenous to the area from which it has disappeared or is in danger of becoming extinct.

As a long term, proud political dissident and rebel I have had some admiration for the national tea party movement. I welcome all that shakes up and reforms our dysfunctional political system. But in the end I find far too much distasteful about what these people embrace to participate in or support it.

I have been especially disappointed with their lack of interest in reforming the American political system through a third political party. Sometimes tea party people say they are fed up with both major parties, but they keep supporting Republicans, as if this will put people in Congress who would actually act as independents and work courageously to enact true, deep reforms.

UPDATE: This is updated information that occurred after Rick wrote his column:

CHICAGO – The Democratic nominee for Illinois lieutenant governor has dropped out of the race less than a week after winning the nomination amid a political uproar about his past. (Snip) The pawn broker and owner of a cleaning supplies company won the nomination Tuesday. Since then, it has become widely know that he was accused of abusing his ex-wife and holding a knife to the throat of an ex-girlfriend. (Ed.) – thank to a wise and resourceful Granny.

Well comrades, how do you feel about all of that hope and change now?

The political pundits in Illinois are aghast because pawn broker, Scott Lee Cohen, had overwhelmingly won the Democratic primary for Lieutenant Governor.

Cohen, a typical Chicago Democrat, had been arrested for attacking his live in prostitute girlfriend with a knife.

In addition, Cohen’s ex wife claimed that he was physically abusive and engaged in fits of rage and sexually aggressive behavior before their divorce, and skipping out on child support payments while he spent millions on his campaign.

Now the powers to be, are hoping to get rid of him before the general election but can’t. He was officially elected by the people and he is constitutionally qualified, so they can’t change the law to suit their needs.
