You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift. Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the web.

With 80% of the people strongly opposed to the bail out for billionaires, the majority wanting troops HOME now from Iraq, opposing military attacks on Iran, wanting more funding for health, housing, alternative energy, education. We must redirect our taxes to local projects to help our communities NOW. This is the most opportune time to really change the direction of America.

They or 'THEM' KNEW that this was coming as far back as 2000, the CFR had meetings about the impending financial meltdown but only the Upper Elite have been told and they have already moved their assets out of harms way. http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2000/2729_cfr.html There is also more info on this on youtube. Are you Really Mad? Step 1. Nov 22nd End the Fed protests at 38 locations around the US. Every City that has a Mint will have a protest. Not near a mint, Find or Create a Local Protest, this is the 98th Anniversary of the Creation of the Federal Reserve System. Knowledge is nothing without Action. There is so much more going on here, everyone needs to "wake up" everyone they can, its time rise up. The Bankers run the world, but we can and MUST take it back. Really want to go down the Rabbit Hole? Search youtube for Zeitgeist, The Red Pill, End the Fed, Ring of Power, 911 mysteries -demolition explained, Jordan Maxwell, Ron Paul. I could go on forever. Read 'Rules for Radicals' and Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War'. Why? Sometimes voting is not enough. Knowledge is nothing without Action. It is now time to Take from the Haves and empower the Have-Nots.

Crow Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:13:07 +0000 http://codepink4peace.org/blog/?p=506#comment-819 I am very grateful to Medea and all the women and men working so hard in the various peace and justice groups in the world. Code Pink - keep those action alerts coming. They are so well communicated. The presentation is very professional. There is some real talent behind the organization we can all be thankful for. As for the conduct of our U.S. government. It's appalling! I feel a sense of being "raped and abandoned" again and again. This bail out being the latest blatent example. I feel utter disgust and distrust of the Bush administration and a governing body that ends up going along with his bad ideas which are simply echos of the world money powers. The Power of Money is King and rules the show and Human kindness and respect and spiritual (not religious) values are stepped on every day all day by the need for this kind of power. But we all know this, so let's come together in our own communities and in our virtual communities (like this blog) and get activated. Reading over these blog entries I felt a sense of power. Good ideas and passionate pleas. However, I think its important as we enter into passionate dialog that we always remember that we are ALL in this together and avoid personal attacking. It is not about nailing Andy to the cross or "sending him to his room", it is about having a constructive dialog and I personall would like to be part of a dialog which involves diverse beliefs. What better way to progress but through understanding. One has to look at where a person's survival is coming from. Whoever feeds us gets our allegiance, right? If we don't like who's feeding us begin to look for a different source of nourishment.

NO SUPERFICIAL FIX THAT LEAVES THE BUSH RUSH ORDER FOR NOW 850 BILLION INTACT IS APPROPRIATE. IT IS DEAD WRONG TO PUT GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD AND FOOLISH AND INSANE. NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD TRUST THOSE WHO HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE 1000% UNTRUSTWORTHY AND INCOMPETANT TO MANAGE FOR THE COMMON GOOD! WHO BELIEVES BUSH OR ANY OF HIS CRONIES KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OUR COMMON GOOD? WE NEED TO DISENGAGE WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE THAT IS NOT A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION BUT A SECRET MEMBERS ORGANIZATION OF INTERNATIONAL SUPER WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT TRANSPARENT OR HONEST AND HAVE BEEN SCREWING OVER USA DOLLAR EVER SINCE THEY WERE GRANTED POWER IN 1913. OUR DOLLAR HAS GONE FROM BASED UPON A GOLD STANDARD TO BASED ON A SILVER STANDARD TO BASED ON A MONOPOLY GAME MONEY STANDARD THAT HAS TORN OUR DOLLAR TO SHREDS. THIS CANNOT CONTINUE. ALLOWING THE SAME PEOPLE TO KEEP CONTROLING OUR MONEY IS NOT GOING TO MAKE ANYTHING ANY BETTER FOR CITIZENS. OUR CHILDREN DESERVE TO GROW UP WITH A FINANCIAL SYSTEM THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND AND LOVE. LET US GATHER OUR WITS AND HEARTS AND PERSIST TO REFORM AND REMAKE THESE CORRUPT SYSTEMS! LET'S BE RESPONSIBLE AND TAKE THIS REFORM TO THE CORE AND NOT BE SATISFIED WITH SOME LITTLE VAGUE MEANINGLESS CONCESSIONS TAGGED ON TO CONFUSE US INTO THINKING THESE FOOLS ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN EQUALITY OR FAIRNESS. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE AND INDIVIDUALS CAPABLE OF SORTING THIS OUT AND REDESIGNING WHAT NEEDS TO BE REMADE. CAN WE GET WA, DC TO LISTEN TO TRUTH AND TURN THIS INTO AN EDUCATIONAL EVENT FOR MAJOR DEEP AND WIDE CLEAN-UP AND REFORM? SINCE THE VAST MAJORITY OF USA CITIZENS ARE OPPOSED TO THIS THEFT AND INSANELY IRRESPONSIBLE PROPOSAL. WA, DC IS NUMB WITH ADDICTIONS TO THESE FOOLS AND ARE TRYING VAGUE MEANINGLESS TOKEN OFFERINGS TO TAG ONTO A PROPOSAL THAT THEY SHOULD PUT IN THE TRASH CAN AND START OVER WITH ALOT OF PUBLIC INPUT. THERE ARE ALOT MORE BRIGHT MINDS OUTSIDE OF WA, DC CIRCLES THAN THERE ARE IN WA, DC! LISTEN UP! YOU ARE TRYING TO COMPLETELY KILL OUR DEMOCRACY BY BEING SO COWARDLY AS TO GO ALONG WITH A FAILING CREW.
