Oops i won't send through pay pal, there was an imposter and broke a lot of folks bank accounts and credit cards. I had an experience sending a credit card to pay for an annual fee, but the pay pal rescended it. So you see, I will not ever use pay pal.. I hope you know that a Corporation in China owns that? However I will send this note around to my friends, but will not go along with pay pal as a way of paying. There is a lot of stuff on the internet about this mess. Even Explorer had covered up their website, saying it had been compromised. I hate to see you leave, I send you email you know. Maybe I can help someway.

Michigan and Media DETROIT: The New Chrysler was everywhere. 4 pages of coverage in the Detroit Free Press. It was all sell, sell, sell with the private equity firm headed by former Bush Treasury Secretary John Snow pictured as a savior. The press outlined the $7.4 BILLION dollar deal that gives Cerberus an 80% stake. The company seems to have romanced the town and the unions with promises of no more job cuts. Daimler will keep 20% of the new entity. There was a front page corrective summed up in a headline: Here's What We Know: Anything Goes. Now we know who will be calling the shots, writes Tom Walsh. We don't know much about WHAT shots the new bosses will be calling. He notes that Cerberus is in the business of generating 22% annual returns which means some sell off of assets is likely. The company is known for buying undervalued companies, the paper reports, slashing costs and selling for a profit. Meanwhile, The DaimlerChrysler signs are still up at the vast Jefferson North plant. To get there you drive through the wasteland of Detroit, a city which never recovered from the riots of l967. You drive down Mack Avenue and count the churches-I saw 17 in a rowand the liquor stores and block after block of collapsing housing and empty lots. It looks worse that Sarajevo after the war. The only bright spot is on a street called Heidelburg where a local artists has created a n outdoor art exhibit among the ruins. Iw as happy to see that my old digs at 186 East Grand Blvd-see yesterday's blog-is still standing amid the rubble. My salvation came from the two hours I spent with Grace Boggs, now 93, who with her late husband James Boggs, an auto worker and theorist, was an intellectual standard bearer of activism and ideology since the 1960's when they moved into the home she still lives in on the East Side. When I arrived she was counseling youth activists who are working with youth and organizing The Allied media conference June 22-14 for community media. See www.amc2007.org for more details. Grace gave me a copy of the Michigab Citizen, a black newspaper with a front page story about foreclosures, that's the issue I am working on with my film IN DEBT WE TRUST. Detroit has the unhappy distinction of being the capital of foreclosures, just one part of the economic misery. Grace and I had a long ranging discussion about building community and resisting the city's destruction with many projects of hope and renewal. I will discuss this more since its late and I want to at least share some of the highlights of my trip. To me Grace is legendary. like Rosa Parks, a venerable movement intellectual with grace and spirit. She told me that Bill Moyers had just been in her house which can pass for a movement museum for an interview that will air June 1st. Don't miss it. Another woman I admire was in town too, Amy Goodman. Actually she and I are part of conference in Windsor, Ontario in Canada across the river, marking the 25th anniversary of the publication of Noam Chomky and Edward Herman's classic Manufacturing Consent. Amy gave an eloquent keynote which was well received by one and all. I will be reporting in more detail but my eyes are closing and and its getting late. I closed out the night at the Tunnel BarBQ with the great Antonia Zerbisias of the Toronto Star who is probably the only mainstream columnist covering this event. She is a fount of knowledge about the Canadian media scene and one of the few serious media analysts writing in the popular press. We will be on a panel tomorrow. We had a great night cap of conversation, cold beer and in my case apple pie. Its now past the witching hour so I bid you adieu. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with more.

Mr Faris says cocaine is being used in the Victorian and New South Wales legal fraternities. He says the legal profession needs to address the problem. If senior lawyers are using cocaine, I think the legal profession has got a responsibility to do something about it and try and assist them and try and stop it, he said. It's not good for anyone, it's not good for their health and it's not good to turn up in court with a head full of coke. Mr Faris says he has been in court against lawyers who are under the influence. They don't look well - they're sweaty, they seem to be hyped up over a number of days, their behaviour is erratic, he said. Some days, you can talk to them and they're normal and sensible, other days they are quite unreasonable. Victorian Bar Council chairman Michael Shand, QC, says Mr Faris' claims are nonsense. They're extreme and unsubstantiated, he said. The Bar Council's vigilant to maintain the highest standards of practice at the bar. We're a delegate of the Legal Services Board. We have the power to suspend or cancel practising certificates if circumstances require it. But no such case of drug use has come before the council during my time on it.

[cia-drugs] Coward Bully Deserter Eavesdropper Bush
March 10, 2004. Gonzales, then the White House counsel, and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card staged a bedside ambush of Attorney General John Ashcroft while he lay in intensive care US National Guard Vietnam-era deserter. Before that he trained on an obsolete plane which his dad must have known was going to be de-commissioned before Dub would be fully qualified as a pilot. Everyone else in his unit had already flown in Vietnam. Bring 'Em On, easy for him to say. Turning back captured US Nat Guard Pvt. Jessica Lynch's Iraqi ambulance at the front line, after she had been well treated as an enemy(US invader) combatant. Shooting a female ambulance driver and destroying her ambulance in Faluja, Iraq. Marines seized hospitals in Faluja, ziptizing(as Crusaders!) patients and throwing them on the floor. Also seized hospital in Hit. US seizes hospitals BECAUSE they treat enemy combatants like US Pvt. Jessica Lynch, which is the same as saying, BECAUSE they obey the Geneva Convention. Bush eavesdrops on those who did serve in Vietnam, and put a Korean war veteran and top constitutional law professor on the No Fly List for criticizing the coward deserter for eavesdropping. Bush even kicked his own man while he(Ashcroft) was down! No Democrat could get elected after being branded a coward, much less a deserter, a bully, an eavesdropper, but then Bush has never been elected, has he? Remember Dukakis wearing a helmet while riding in a tank turret? That was only nuance and spin, here we have subtance, over and over and over. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/15/AR2007051501890_pf.html Ashcroft and the Night Visitors By Dana Milbank Wednesday, May 16, 2007; A02 As if Attorney General Alberto Gonzales didn't have enough trouble, now comes word that, before coming to the Justice Department, Gonzales preyed on the infirm. In hair-raising testimony before a Senate committee yesterday, Jim Comey, the former No. 2 official at the Justice Department, described what might be called the Wednesday Night Massacre of March 10, 2004. Gonzales, then the White House counsel, and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card staged a bedside ambush of Attorney General John Ashcroft while he lay in intensive care. Comey, serving as acting attorney general during Ashcroft's incapacitation, testified about how, on a tip from Ashcroft's wife, he intercepted the pair in Ashcroft's hospital room. The door opened and in walked Mr. Gonzales, carrying an envelope, and Mr. Card, Comey told the spellbound senators. They came over and stood by the bed. They wanted Ashcroft to sign off on an eavesdropping plan that Comey and others at the Justice Department had already called legally indefensible. Ashcroft lifted his head off the pillow and in very strong terms expressed his view of the matter -- that Comey was right. And as he laid back down, he said, 'But that doesn't matter, because I'm not the attorney general. There is the attorney general.' And he pointed to me. Gonzales and Card did not acknowledge me, Comey testified. They turned and walked from the room. The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee stared. The lone Republican in attendance, Arlen Specter (Pa.), looked down. The 6-foot-8 Comey, slightly hunched in the witness chair, swallowed frequently and kept his hands in his lap as he spun a narrative worthy of Dashiell Hammett. I thought I just witnessed an effort to take advantage of a very sick man, Comey told the quiet chamber. His voice grew thick and he cleared his throat as he explained how he prepared to resign. I couldn't stay, if the administration was going to engage in conduct that the Department of Justice had said had no legal basis. Comey had come before the committee to discuss Gonzales's botched firing of U.S. attorneys. Instead, under questioning from Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), he gave his account of Gonzales's dark-of-night attempt to emasculate the department he would soon lead. The testimony had all the more impact because it came the morning after Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty became the fourth senior official to resign in the prosecutor mess. If Comey's testimony had the grip of mystery yesterday, Gonzales's defense had the feel of farce, as he heaped blame on McNulty for the mishandled firings. The deputy attorney general is the direct supervisor of the United States attorneys, Gonzales volunteered at a National Press Club breakfast. He added: I went back to the deputy attorney general and I asked Paul, 'Do you still stand by the recommendations?' And he said, 'Yes.' At the hearing, Specter offered a different view of McNulty's departure. It's embarrassing for a professional to work for the Department of Justice today, he said, calling the resignation evidence that the department really cannot function with the continued leadership or lack of leadership of Attorney General Gonzales. Despite public pleas from a lonely Specter, the other Republicans on

[cia-drugs] How the U.S. Govt. Is Keeping the Price of Gold Artificially Low
http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/price-of-gold-4/2007/05/16/ How the U.S. Govt. Is Keeping the Price of Gold Artificially Low Posted by James Turk on May 16th, 2007 We have a battle on our hands. It's the battle for the price of gold to reach $700, and it is just the latest clash in a long war being fought between gold and its perennial antagonist - the gold cartel. I feel like an old soldier, having already endured so many of these battles. They happen because gold is undervalued, which means that it is being exchanged for dollars at too cheap a price. So gold tries to correct this imbalance in a normal market response by climbing higher, but is prevented from doing so by the gold cartel. It is these confrontations that have led to the recurring battles. I think we can learn from these head-to-head clashes. There are lessons from the past that can be disheartening at times like this when the gold price gets repeatedly repelled from $700. It is important to recognize that every time gold and the cartel have battled in the past, gold eventually won. For example, back in March 2001, I wrote the following about the Battle for $272: Open interest on Comex calls in the last few days has risen by 16,000 contracts. That's 1.6 million ounces, or nearly 50 tonnes. Who would be willing to take the risk of selling these calls with gold so cheap? Probably the same central banks who have been manipulating the price. They are still trying to keep the gold price under their thumb. Will they succeed yet again? There's the rub. No one knows. The markets may be getting ready to 'throw away the key', but maybe not. While we know that gold is unbelievably cheap and eventually going higher, we just don't know when. Watch the $272 level. Gold probed that level today, but backed off, though still closed up over $5 on the day. If $272 is hurdled, the long awaited rally may be finally underway. And it also may be the rally in which those who have been manipulating the gold price are finally forced to throw in the towel, just as they were forced to do so the last time the price of gold was being manipulated, which was in 1971. The price of gold eventually broke through the lines the gold cartel had mobilized at $272, and climbed higher. But the gold cartel staged a retreat, and eventually we got the War for $325. So significant was $325 that I wrote the following in March 2002 If you are old enough to remember when President Nixon closed the 'Gold Window' on August 15, 1971, you have an advantage over those who did not experience that event and the subsequent rise in the gold price. We are at, I believe. a similar moment in time. Maybe we are only at the equivalent of January 1971, or perhaps as close as August 1, 1971. We just don't know for sure how close we are to the launch date, but the important point is that the launch date is indeed coming. It took another 6 months, but $325 was indeed hurdled, on December 6, 2002. So important was that battle that I continued to write about $325 for months. For example, I penned the following in February 2003: For the past six years of this 20-plus-year consolidation, gold traded under $325. During this period gold moved out from weak hands into the strong hands that were accumulating it at those bargain basement levels. To make that base even more convincing and technically significant, we had a selling climax in the middle of that base when gold was dumped after the Bank of England announcement, causing it to reach a low of $252 in July 1999. As the BoE began its dishoarding, those who recognized that gold was undervalued (us included) were buying while the BoE was selling. Then with the breakout above $325, gold's base was firmly in place. This base defines the bottom in gold prices. Time will tell of course, but I don't think we'll ever see those prices again. Just as gold never looked back when it started its final break away from $35 in the early 1970's, gold is again not looking back. $325, $330, $340 and probably even $350 - those gold prices are history and won't be seen again. Again, only time will tell, but my scenario from here is quite clear. Because gold is moving higher from such historically undervalued levels and because so many people have been left standing on the platform when the gold-train started pulling away from the station with the break above $325, it is onward and upward for gold from here. And so it was. But then came the battles for $420, $450, $500, and since last May, we have been fighting the Battle for $700. Gold will win this time too, but again, we are frustrated and irritated that there is even a battle at all. Who is the gold cartel? And what are they trying to accomplish? The gold cartel is an alliance of governments and a few bullion banks. This group is led by the U.S. government. Though their aims are different, their congruent interests put them on the same side.

[cia-drugs] Ron Paul ruffles Faux
When the results started to show Paul as a front runner even of Fox's own polls, the spin went into high gear. Cameron and others at Faux started concocting some conspiracy theory that Paul's success was due to the efforts of office flooding voting lines - ignoring the fact that McCain had openly told his supporters to spam the polls on his own website. Mike Gravel and Ron Paul are owning the online polls and surveys after the debates, yet Gallup claims they have ZERO support. Statistical error does not account for such a discrepancy. http://antonyloewenstein.com/blog/2007/05/17/ron-paul-ruffles-faux/ Ron Paul ruffles Faux Published by Andre May 17th, 2007 in General Ron Paul stole the debate again in the second Republican debate and the mainstream media are in a completely tailspin over Ron Paul's success. After the huge interest he created during the first debate, Fox News made no attempt to hide their brazen efforts to smear him. In spite of a shamelessly orchestrated display worthy of the Soviet Union propaganda machine, the Texas Congressman still beat Rudy Giuliani in Fox's own poll, and others. The highlight of the evening was when Giuliani spat the dummy over the suggestion that US foreign policy may have contributed to the 911 attacks. Rudi, who considers anything 911 to be his turf simply because he stood in front of the cameras during the 911 attacks, not only assumes that his opinion on the attack is irrefutable, bu that the experience alone endows him with expertise on foreign policy and Middle Eastern politics. When Giuliani patronizingly insisted that Paul take back his words, Paul replied smacked him down: I'm suggesting we listen to the people who attacked us and the reason they did it. And they are delighted that we're over there because Osama bin Laden has said: I am glad you're over on our sand because we can target you so much easier. Funny how Giuliani and McCain love to quote Bin laden when it suits them, then dismiss those very statements as unpatriotic when it doesn't? When the results started to show Paul as a front runner even of Fox's own polls, the spin went into high gear. Cameron and others at Faux started concocting some conspiracy theory that Paul's success was due to the efforts of office flooding voting lines - ignoring the fact that McCain had openly told his supporters to spam the polls on his own website. Mike Gravel and Ron Paul are owning the online polls and surveys after the debates, yet Gallup claims they have ZERO support. Statistical error does not account for such a discrepancy. What clearer example can there be that the media apparatus like Gallup, are trying to pre-sell the acceptable candidates? Pretty amazing, isn't it, that Ron Paul nearly won (and probably did) a FOX NEWS poll? Think about that!! He wasn't supposed to even be in the running on Fox News. The rest of the debate it was pretty much a case of the poseurs vying to become the scariest candidate who can pose the biggest threat to the continued existence of the world. The final tally had Paul comming a close second to Romney and intellectual giant who thinks Hamas, Helbollah, Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and IJ are all the same thing, and that Guntanamo needs to be doubled in size. What is clear is that Ron Paul's traditional and principled approach is resonating with an American public that is sick of stench in Washington. This makes him a major threat to the establishment. It will be interesting to watch the media continuing to support and sell the occupation, while at the same time convincing the public that anti-war candidates Paul and Gravel, aren't really Presidential material.

Tom Harkin Dear Theresa J. ,
Earlier today the Senate cast votes on 3 separate amendments related to our
continuing involvement in the civil war in Iraq. But only one of those
amendments, the Feingold-Reid amendment, set a firm deadline for redeploying
the bulk of our troops out of the civil war in Iraq by March 31, 2008.
I was proud to vote for this amendment, which was based on legislation that I
have cosponsored. The American people want a new way forward in Iraq, and the
only way to do this is to set a firm timetable for redeployment. Only then will
the Iraqi government take responsibility for its own future.
Unfortunately, this amendment failed by a vote of 29-67. I am disappointed
that the Senate ignored the overwhelming sentiment of the American people by
voting to maintain the status quo.
But this is not the end. Americans Iowans want an end to our involvement
in this civil war. They know that our brave soldiers have served honorably and
have brilliantly completed their mission. They know as the Iraq Study Group
stated the conflict in Iraq now requires a political solution.
While we didn't get what we wanted today, I want you to know I will continue
to do everything in my power to change course in Iraq and bring our brave
soldiers home. It's time to chart a new direction in Iraq, and I will continue
my work in the Senate until that goal is achieved.
Sincerely,
Senator Tom Harkin
