The Bankers' Manifesto of 1892

2008-11-17T23:16:00.000-08:00

BANKERS MANIFESTO

"We (the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion. Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance.

Organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them.

At the coming Omaha convention to be held July 4, 1892, our men must attend and direct its movement or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as may require force to overcome.

This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through combination (conspiracy) and legislation.

The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible.

When, through the process of law, the common people have lost their homes,
they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of the government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers.

People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.

The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party.

By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by discrete actions, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished."

(The above was printed from the "Banker's Manifest", for the private circulation among leading bankers only, taken from the "Civil Servants' Year Book, "The Organizer" of January, 1934.)

The Banker's Manifesto ties in with U.S. Senate Document No. 43, 73rd Congress, 1st Session (1934), to wit:

"The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual so-called "ownership" is only by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to mere "user" and use must be in acceptance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State."

The way of the World

2008-11-17T22:12:00.000-08:00

Education is the key to power and wealth. Ever since mankind lived in caves the better educated a person was the better chance for survival they had and the better their lives would be.
Education became a religion, Shamans were just men that knew more about the natural order than those around them. Those in the know passed that knowledge along to their immediate family members, and therein was born the roots of royalty. Having the knowledge gave them the power and having the power became a family affiar, passed along from Father to Son through the generations.
As humankind started to settle into towns and cities the need for central rule became greater and while occasionally a warlord would gain power through shear force it was mainly the educated that became the rulers. This was most in evidence in the formation of the great religions. The shamans, priests and rabbis held tight to the esoteric learnings, releasing just small portions to those under them and carefully choosing those that would be led deeper into the mysteries. They selected those that they felt could be trusted not to "spill the beans" as it were, keeping the truths confined to those that would use it to maintain power.
As we became even more civilized and the need arose for a method of trading other than direct barter money came into vogue and with money came money merchants. As we came to accept currency as being something of value we also became enslaved to those that controlled the money. Today the Worlds banks are run by the same elite royal families that arose in the still dark dawn of civilization.
These banking families have no power over the rest of us other than their education and wealth. The education was given to them because they shared a common bloodline, the wealth was given to them for the same reason, to keep the wealth in the family.
In the great ruling royal families it is understood that you will not marry outside the royal bloodlines. "Bluebloods" will intermarry even at the cost of inbreeding to protect their accumulated wealth. If they choose to marry outside the lineages they know that their linages will not be allowed to share in the collective wealth and power.
When the American Revolution came around the elite saw it as a direct threat to their power base. They were the highborn that were leaders by birthright and here this new system threatened to give power and wealth to any commoner that had the force of will to ascend the throne. Their answer to this was to create a new class of royalty, a clandestine royal class that pretended to commoner status while adhering to the tenants of the European Bluebloods.
The Brown Brothers Banking family from England were central to this new royalty, and even today they hold power from a golden throne. Before the new Country of America was 20 years old the Bankers had taken control of our commerce. By the we reached our 100th birthday in 1876 they had control of every aspect of American education, religion and commerce.
In 1913 they took total control over the American monitary system, removing it entirely from any "commoner" control and placing it into a "Federal Reserve" system completly under their control. With the ability to print, issue, withdraw and control the value of the nations currency they retained the same controls that their fathers had as Kings.

If you attempt to print and issue your own currency, even if it is accepted by those that you wish to do business with, you will be arrested and jailed by the Federal Reserve. There are a few brave concerns that have started minting "Liberty Dollars", mainly based on silver and gold, that are strictly called "barter tokens", not currency or legal tender, to evade the threat of prison.

I accept Liberty Dollars in my own business, as a matter of personnel pride in freedom and democracy. I encourage everyone I can to find alternatives to supporting the Ruling Class Bankers by using fair trade, barter, in kind exchange or alternative value tokens such as Liberty Dollars and bypass the bankers, removing their ability to scrape away your personnel wealth a small portion at a time. of course they will still want to force you to report every minute transaction and the value of goods or services exchanged and make payments in the form of tax on the value of the items you received. But then I am just a poor, uneducated peasant and my labors are worth nothing, and the items I accept in trade for my labors are equally without intrinsic value, so there is nothing to be taxed as there is nothing of value being exchanged as long as I avoid utilizing the Federal Reserves private currency.

The rise and fall of the American Empire

If Alaskan's are any measure of the state of the American ideal then the America of fabled glory is in severe decline. would Thomas Jefferson had risen to political stature if he had been a man of low morals or a convicted criminal? Well, Ben Franklin exhibited low morals and did well, but criminal records were not tolerated among polite society in those days.

Ted Stevens sits on the Committees on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Appropriations, Commerce, Science, Transportation, Rules and Administration and yet he could not join the Army, work at McDonalds or WalMart or own a gun in the State of Alaska. You did turn in your guns didn't you, Uncle Ted?

Ted Stevens served the Country with honor in the Armed Forces during WWII, served the State of Alaska with honor for many years and was honored in due course with accolades and and Airport. When he decided that he was entitled to cross the lines of decent conduct and sell his vote for self gain he should have been scorned, jailed and rebuked. That he was not is telling on the state of our democracy.

US controls bird flu vaccines over bioweapon fears
11 Oct 2008 When Indonesia's health minister stopped sending bird flu viruses to a research laboratory in the U.S. for fear Washington could use them to make biological weapons, Defense Secretary Robert Gates laughed and called it "the nuttiest thing" he'd ever heard. Yet deep inside an 86-page supplement to United States export regulations is a single sentence that bars U.S. exports of vaccines for avian bird flu and dozens of other viruses to five countries designated "state sponsors of terrorism." The reason: Fear that they will be used for biological warfare.

Indonesian Minister: Rich nations creating "new viruses" to create markets for drug companies to sell vaccines

Supari says US using bird flu virus to develop biological weapons

06 Sep 2008 Indonesia stopped sharing the samples with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in December 2006 on fears pharmaceutical companies would use them to make vaccines that are too expensive for poor countries... Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari has broadened her critique of an "unfair, neocolonialist" global health system, raising the possibility earlier this year the United States was using the virus to develop biological weapons in her book "It's Time for the World to Change: Divine Hands Behind Avian Influenza." Supari told a rapturous crowd at a book discussion last week that rich nations were creating "new viruses" and sending them to developing nations in order create markets for drug companies to sell vaccines. "Indonesia sends a virus to the WHO but it suddenly it ends up with the US government. Then the US government turns the virus into dollars and we don't know what kind of research," Supari said.

NEW U.S. ANTI-PIRACY LAW ALLOWS CONFISCATION OF YOUR PROPERTY

2008-10-16T19:15:00.000-07:00

"A bill has been signed into law by president George W Bush which allows law enforcers to seize your property should you be suspected of piracy ie downloading one song without permission with your computer in your home. This is called "civil forfeiture" where articles can be seized and held if it is thought they are to be used in committing a crime, or infringement. Internet Service Providers will be especially unhappy with this part of the bill. Their servers are at stake. The Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008, or PRO IP Act, has been criticized by both the US Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Commerce (DOC)."

This Law is a serious infringement on your right to privacy. If you visit a website that has an embedded audio track it will download the song automatically to your hard drive. The Fedz will see the MP# transverse the Server and come take your computer, wherein they will no doubt find an assortment of unregistered or ill gotten software, music, porn, images, chat logs and corn bread recipes. What makes your internet connection diffrent from your telephone? They don't need wiretaps to view your server logs, or warrants. But then under the 4th Reichs Patriot Act they don't need a warrent for anything they want to do.

Senator John McCain

Sarah Palin - A Lamb before the Wolves

2008-09-03T08:10:00.000-07:00

Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin hit the Alaska Republican Party hard when she outed two of her fellows for misconduct. The Republican Old Guard took notice of her and saw that she was going to be another thorn in their side like JFK.

So they decided that sending her up as VP would open such a can of worms in her life that she would never survive the vetting by the Press. I'm sure that they were hoping that once the entire National Press Corps got finished with her she would slink off in disgrace never to lighten the inner workings of the Republican Party again.

And even if she does somehow manage to survive the press stories, both the real and manufactured, then at least they managed to divert attention from the other great Republican embarrassment, the trial of the longest sitting Republican Senator, our own dear Ted Stevens.
So it's a win/win/win for the Republican Old Guard, if she survives and McCain gets elected then she gets sequestered away in the most ineffectual job in American Politics, the Vice Presidency. If he looses she returns to Alaska and hopefully the Vetting will sink her future ambitions.

But just imagine the ideal World for a moment. John McCain gets elected and Sarah does the VP thing for a few years till McCain either bites the bullet or 2012 rolls around and Sarah Palin becomes President of the US by landslide with Ray Metcalfe, who won the 2008 Alaska Senate seat after both Ted Stevens and Mark Begich were indicted and convicted, as her VP. Then in 2020 Ray Metcalfe takes the helm as the newly purged and squeaky clean Republican Party becomes the shining light for Democracy and Freedom that it was once intended to be. Sarah Palin will accept appointment to the Supreme Court after her two terms.

Open Letter to the Anchorage Assembly

2008-07-31T22:18:00.000-07:00

Is it your desire to live in a corrupt state? A state where the measure of your success is judged by how much you can steal rather than how much you can contribute? If so, all you have to do is stay the course because the FBI cannot clean up Alaska or its largest city, if Alaska’s community leaders dig in their heels to resist the cleanup.

I spent several years forcing every member of the Alaska Legislature to look at the corruption in their midst. Most said they couldn’t see what I was talking about. Some said, “not my job” while others said, “There is nothing I can do.” Not one single Legislator was willing to stand against corruption.

When our forefathers created three branches of government it was their expectation that when one of the three branches stepped out of line, the other two branches would take use their collective powers to restore the wayward branch’s compliance with a system of laws. It is a duty of the office you hold to take action.

Had our state’s system of checks and balances functioned properly, had Murkowski’s Attorney General not attempted to obstruct justice, the FBI wouldn’t be in the middle of our state’s business, cleaning up the mess made possible by elected officials saying “not my job.” When the executive branch of government fails to clean its own house, there is no person with a greater obligation to confront corruption in the executive branch of government than you.

When rational people appear to make irrational decisions, it's usually because they have a hidden incentive you didn't know about. For twenty five years, a majority of both houses of Alaska’s Legislature appeared to make an irrational decision to let oil companies take Alaska's oil for a tiny fraction of what it was really worth. However, their decision wasn’t irrational at all. A majority of Alaska’s Legislature justified that the gratuities they took from Veco were worth the tens of billions of dollars the state lost because they did.

Now at seven convictions and counting, the cost of twenty five years of corruption is obvious. Alaska went from massive deficits to massive surpluses on the heels of Veco’s exposure. Those who attribute the surpluses to rising oil prices would be wrong as millions of barrels were leaving Alaska un-taxed. Zero tax equals zero income to Alaska regardless of the price of oil.

About nine months ago, Mayor Begich gave away the city’s economic interest in a Municipal parking garage through a cleverly written lease. A gift worth about ten million dollars to the developers of a 22 story building next door. In the absence of intervention, Jerry Neeser and Mark Pfeffer will be in position to tell prospective tenants of their 22 story building that they control the parking, facing those prospective tenants with the prospect of riding bicycles to work or renting from the only landlords with parking.

Ponder for a moment the reaction from Penny’s shoppers had the Mayor given all the parking within three blocks of the downtown mall to Nordstroms. Would other store owners sue the city? Of course they would.

The days that a mayor can give away a parking garage with confidence jail time won’t follow are gone and it is time for you to decide which side your on. If you want a government run by white collar crime all you have to do is pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Four years ago I wrote an article published in most Alaska newspapers suggesting that Veco was paying bribes to large numbers of legislators and that their bribery was costing this state tens of billions of dollars. The name calling from the rich and powerful throughout the state started before the ink was dry on the newsprint. Since that day you have seen five confessions and three convictions by jury, all from within the ranks of those who said I was dead wrong.

Three years ago I accused Ben Stevens of taking bribes from Veco. His protests were quite similar to Mark Begich’s protests today. Had I not done so, neither Mark nor I would be running for the US Senate because Ben would have already filled his daddy’s shoes in Washington.

Two years ago I wrote an article detailing how Ted Stevens was laundering federal money into the pockets of his boy and his boy’s business partner Trevor McCabe, by funneling the money through a handful of Seattle based fish processing companies, who were funneling money back to Trevor McCabe and Ben Stevens through consulting fees. Six months later the offices of the processors were raided by the FBI and Trevor McCabe is now cooperating with the FBI’s ongoing investigation with hopes of shortening his jail time. ----(Anchorage Daily News, Feb. 10, 2008, McCabe 's attorney, Michael White of Seattle, said, " Trevor has been instructed by his lawyer to continue to cooperate with investigators and make no public comments.")

Over the past year, I have written extensively about John Rubini and the several real estate investments he has made with Mark Begich and Ted Stevens. Through the hand in hand cooperation of Rubini’s carefully selected business partners, Rubini has secured hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate that once belonged to the federal government and tens of millions in tax breaks through the passage of special legislation Ben Stevens pushed through the Legislature and a companion ordinance pushed through by Mark Begich.

Begich said the tax breaks were for the troops living in the base housing Ted Stevens had earmarked into the hands of Jon Rubini and Ted Stevens’ brother-in-law for free. However, the only thing Mark’s Tax breaks achieved, was an increase to the bottom line for his business partner Jon Rubini and the brother-in-law of Ted Steven’s, while they raised the rents on the troops.

The other excuse Begich used was that he wasn’t sure if the Municipality could tax Rubini’s privately owned military housing setting on ground Rubini leases from the federal government for one dollar per year. Before you buy into that argument, read the clip below on taxation, directly from Alaska’s constitution:

Article 9 - Finance and Taxation § 5. Interests in Government Property: Private leaseholds, contracts, or interests in land or property owned or held by the United States, the State, or its political subdivisions, shall be taxable to the extent of the interests.

Rubini’s rewards were well worth the $52,000 Rubini dressed up as real estate deals to pay Mark Begich. He gave Begich a small interest in two high-rise office buildings so he could buy him out when he needed a favor, much like he did with Ted Stevens when he bought Ted out of the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation building for $1,050,000. (All public record).

I highly doubt that there is anyone left on the Assembly who isn’t aware that the National Archives purchased Jon Rubini’s eight acres between your chambers and Lowe’s Hardware, believing it was zoned B-3. They paid him $3,525,000 for property he had picked up one year earlier for $1,550,000. They based their purchase price on the belief that the property was zoned B-3 and had been appraised at $4,495,000. The property was R-3 not B-3 and it was not appraised anywhere near $4,495,000.

When was the last time you saw a real estate professional, a mayor, or private investor get caught perpetrating or assisting in the sale of property to the federal government under fraudulent pretenses and not go to jail? – Are you willing to risk the possible consequences of helping Mark sweep this one under the rug?
(For any assembly member who will take the time to look, I will be happy to review documentation that demonstrates decision makers at the National Archives had been advised that the property they purchased was zoned B-3. They were advised of that before they started looking, and during their comparative evaluations, and after the purchase was complete.)

I recently asked assembly chair Matt Claman to review the agreement to eliminate Jon Rubini’s taxes. Claman couldn’t have ran any faster from the subject. That’s exactly what I meant by community leaders digging in their heels to resist the cleanup. When honest people compromise their principles in favor of victory or unity, they have also lost sight of their reason for having cared in the first place.

Turning back to Municipal gifts of parking garages, I am going to sue the Municipality for the illegal appropriation of public assets into the hands of a private person, If the assembly fails to intervene in Mark Begich’s gifts of the Sixth and Seventh Avenue parking garages to Mark Pfeffer and Jerry Neeser.

The appropriation lacks public purpose, was not voted on by the body with the authority to appropriate, and even if the assembly had done so, the assembly would have violated Alaska’s constitutional prohibition barring grants and special privileges of special appropriations to individuals without a public purpose. See clips from Alaska’s constitution below. For details on the gift of the parking garage, go to:
http://citizens4ethics.com/docs/Gift of Parking Garage Explained.doc

Article 1 - Declaration of Rights § 15. Prohibited State Action:
No bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed. No law impairing the obligation of contracts, and no law making any irrevocable “grant of special privileges” or immunities shall be passed. No conviction shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture of estate.

Article 9 - Finance and Taxation § 6. Public Purpose:
No tax shall be levied, or appropriation of public money made, or “public property transferred,” nor shall the public credit be used, except for a public purpose.

Before Begich gave Mark Pfeffer and Jerry Neeser a parking garage, he required the parking authority to lease 67 parking spaces from them at $432 per space, ($29,000 per month) while arranging to rent parking spaces to Mark Pfeffer and Jerry Neeser on the other side of the street at $75 per space.

Before that Mark Begich attempted to persuade the Municipal Assembly to purchase City Hall from Jerry Neeser for about ten million dollars more than it was really worth.

After Jerry Neeser, Mark Pfeffer, and John Rubini landed the contract to build the new convention center, Mark Begich fattened their bottom line by waving dozens of inspection and code compliance requirements that any other developers in town would have been forced to comply with. Begich also gave Jerry Neeser free access to fifteen acres in the heart of downtown to store equipment and construction materials. I highly doubt that Mark Begich would have arranged wavers or free storage for any other developers.

If Mark Begich’s appetite for doing favors for Jerry Neeser, Mark Pfeffer, and John Rubini doesn’t raise every red flag for corruption in your body, there is something dreadfully wrong with your moral compass.

As you may recall, in the case of Ben Stevens, I first tried to recall him for doing Legislative favors for Veco. The Division of Elections, APOC, several Legislators, the Attorney General, and Alaska’s Superior Court, all said he had broken no laws and no crime had been committed. Now even former Governor Murkowski’s chief of staff has pleaded guilty to participating with Veco’s criminal activities and it’s a good bet he won’t be the last.

It would be disingenuous to pretend you don’t sense corruption. And I can only think of one reason why you would say you didn’t. The buck stops with you. Should you fail to act, I will take the city to court and be as relentless at uncovering who is doing what for whom and why as I was with Ben Stevens and Veco.

Mark Begich and Anchorage Sweetheart Deals

2008-07-22T03:19:00.000-07:00

Gift of Parking Garage Explained

On the September 9, 2007 editorial page of the Anchorage Daily News, a staff reporter wrote “When the Begich administration leased a downtown parking site from influential developer Mark Pfeffer, the city overpaid -- by a lot.”

The Daily News concluded its editorial saying:
“Without subpoena power or wiretap authority, it's impossible to know if the mayor's defense is just a smokescreen. But whether it was favoritism or just an honestly overpriced contract, it turned out to be an embarrassingly bad deal for a mayor who prides himself on his business acumen.”

The editorial was in response to an appraisal I (Ray Metcalfe) wrote on the value of a 67 space parking lot located on the corner of 6th and G in downtown Anchorage. I had reviewed the lease executed between Augustine Development LLC (Owned by Jerry Neeser and Mark Pfeffer, partners with John Rubini in the construction of the new Convention Center two blocks away) and The Community Development Authority, formerly known as the Anchorage Parking Authority, who agreed to lease Mark Pfeffer’s property described as:

Lots 9B and lot 12 of block 53 of the Original Townsite of Anchorage, according to the official plat: Plat number 81-124 of the Anchorage Recording District, and I have made the following observations, value estimations and conclusions.
The Community Development Authority is a quasi-privately operated subsidiary of the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA). Possession of the leased property has been delivered over to the Anchorage Parking Authority — ostensibly for the purpose of operating a 67-space public parking lot.
The closest comparable property is a seventeen space parking area in the same block, adjacent, and immediately west of the subject property. It shares a property line with the subject property; and there are no obstructions to prevent drivers from driving between the two adjacent parking areas.
Augustine Development, LLC owns both the subject property and the 17 space comparable property next door, which is within the same ½ block as the subject property and was part of the property he acquired with the purchase of the Inlet Inn.
At the time Augustine Development, LLC, owned by Mark Pfeffer, purchased the Inlet Inn, February 2nd, 2007. At the time, Diamond Parking, a privately owned parking lot operator, was leasing the 17-spaces of paved parking area on the 6th Avenue side of the Inlet Inn, (approximately 5,700 square foot and part of the Inlet Inn’s property) paying approximately $47 per parking space per month, to the owners of the Inlet Inn. Diamond Parking then retailed the spaces, which it acquired at wholesale prices, to the general public, retailing it for a profit, averaging around $150 per month in gross retail revenues per space.

The Anchorage Parking Authority, owned by the Municipality of Anchorage, now also known as the Community Development Authority, initially leased the 67-space (24,511 square foot of property adjacent to the above referenced 17 spaces,) from Mark Pfeffer’s Augustine Development, paying Mark $29,000 per month, or $432 per space.
The City of Anchorage agreed to pay Mark Pfeffer’s Augustine Development over nine times as much as an adjacent private lessor agreed to pay to a private lessee in an arm’s length fair market transaction. There is no question that Mr. Pfeffer was aware of the wholesale and retail values attributable to the adjacent property because Pfeffer had purchased the Inlet Inn’s interest in the lease agreement between the Inlet Inn and Diamond Parking. Pfeffer had also been negotiating with Diamond parking prior to Mark Begich’s instruction to the Anchorage Parking Authority, to make what turned out to be a vastly superior offer. The Parking Authority needed look no further than across the street to see that Diamond Parking’s parking lot adjacent to Mr. Pfeffer was 80% vacant almost every day of the week.

Parking facility operators will generally offer private land owners a fixed monthly payment equaling approximately 1/3 of whatever they determine to be the projected likely gross income they could expect to derive from the property, or alternatively, for those land owners willing to share the risk of unexpected shortfalls in income, parking operators will generally offer a fluctuating ½ of whatever the actual parking space rents turn out to be.
According to figures the Parking Authority released after this investigation began, the spaces Begich arranged for the city to rent for $29,000 per month were running about 80% empty and bringing in about $10,000 per month. As demonstrated by the 17 spaces next door, which also run about 80% empty, the industry standard that a private company would have paid Pfeffer for the same deal would have been 1/3 of the anticipatable gross monthly income, or about $3,300 per month. The remaining $25,700 in payments Mark Begich arranged for Mark Pfeffer to receive from the Anchorage Parking Authority was nothing less than a money laundering shell game neither of them thought anyone would notice.
Before the original Begich/Pfeffer fleecing agreement was replaced by the much more clever agreement outlined below, it had funneled seven payments of $29,000 per month, or $203,000 of your city’s dollars into the pockets of Mark Pfeffer and Jerry Neeser.

In an understatement worthy of the Guinness Book of Records, Carma Reed, the former head of the City’s parking agency acknowledged to the Anchorage Daily News that the City was losing money on its $29,000 lease payments. She also said they planned to renegotiate the agreement.
Keep in mind that the City’s act of leasing spaces from Mark Pfeffer doesn’t add one single parking spot to available parking in Anchorage. Mark Pfeffer is perfectly capable of running his own parking lot and collecting the $10,000 it makes each month if Diamond Parking failed to make a management offer that pleased him. Either way, it would not add or subtract one more parking space for the parking public to choose from.
However, the Parking Authority did renegotiate. They increased the number of spaces the City was leasing from Pfeffer to 87 spaces. And they reduced the rent per space to $166 per space per month, equaling three times what private industry had previously been paying next door. The net effect was to reduce the payment to Pfeffer from $29,000 to $14,500, thereby continuing to pay Pfeffer about $10,000 per month more than a private company like Diamond Parking would have been willing to pay.

That’s not quite the way Begich described it when he announced his decision to get tough on negotiations, but that was the net effect.

They also failed to highlight one more major addition to the new deal. The new deal gave Mark Pfeffer what, in real estate technical terms is called a leasehold interest. It conveys valuable leasehold interests in Anchorage’s parking facilities, worth tens of millions of dollars, to Mark Pfeffer and his partners over the next 22 years. Mark Pfeffer is effectively being given a City parking garage so he doesn’t have to spend his own money to build the parking he will need to make his building he is building across the street economically viable.
Mark Pfeffer is being given the right to lease 570 parking spaces in the parking garages of the City of Anchorage.
Rather than making parking available to individuals and letting those individuals choose which developer to lease office space from, Begich has chosen to hand over control of Anchorage’s public parking to one developer. A developer he hopes will remember his generosity for the rest of his political career.

The Privately owned Dimond Parking Company leases parking permits in downtown Anchorage, to the public for $150 per month. The publicly owned Anchorage Parking Authority subsidizes the commercial rate by renting spaces to the public at about half the going commercial rate. In this case, the subsidy promised to Neeser and Pfeffer is about $75 per space per month. Begich’s contract with Neeser and Pfeffer allows Neeser and Pfeffer to re-rent their 570 spaces, at the commercial rate, to future tenants in the building they are building on the other side of the street, directly across Sixth Avenue from the parking garage above the bus depot. The net value of Mark Begich's gift to his friends Neeser and Pfeffer calculates to about $40,000 per month over the next 22 years, or a little over ten million dollars in ill-gotten profits cleverly lifted from the pockets of Anchorage taxpayers over time.

The above described actions are what some politicians call “Salting the System.” Ted Stevens has been doing it for forty years. Ted has imbedded an army of beholding foot soldiers throughout the business community and inside of the bureaucracy that regulates it. It was fear of that army that caused so many people to run for cover when I asked for help in exposing the bribery schemes of Veco and Ted’s son, Ben Stevens.

As for the favors Mark Begich is doing for Mark Pfeffer, future developers may not be so lucky. The individuals they hope to make their tenants will be faced with leasing from Pfeffer or doing without parking. Developers competing with Pfeffer will be faced with testing the waters of the bribability of future Mayors or going out of business and Alaska’s political arena will continue to be dominated by those willing to reap huge rewards at risk of jail time for decades to come.
Unlike the 80% empty parking lot the City took off of Mr. Pfeffer’s hands, the parking garage across the street above the downtown bus depot is about 80 % full from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM five days a week.
At $1 per hour for nine hours per day each space can bring in $9 every business day of the month. Twenty business days times $9 per day equals $180 per month. Subtract 20% to adjust for the fact that on average, each space is occupied only 80% of the time between 8 and 5, and each space has the potential to generate an average of $144 per month. Subtract $75 per space for the base lease that Mark Begich has decided to give Mr. Pfeffer, and, Mark Pfeffer prospectively may soon be collecting $69 per month times 570 spaces, or $39,330 per month. Prior to this agreement, Pfeffer’s booty would have gone straight into the city’s treasury. It is now destined for the pockets of a person Mark Begich hopes to draw from for the duration of his political career.

And just in case you missed it, the City is leasing spaces from Mr. Pfeffer on one side of the street for $166 per month, while agreeing to lease to Mr. Pfeffer on the other side of the street for $75 per month. Meanwhile, to cover the losses, Mark Begich authorized the parking authority to raise the charge for parking meters and double the size of your fines for parking overtime. Mayor Begich attempted to explain away this entire ruse by saying the City needed more parking. However as noted above, this scheme doesn’t add one space to the available parking spaces in Anchorage.
No doubt excuses will be made and the shell game will continue. There is a big difference between the city meeting its obligation to make sure parking is available to the general public and giving parking garages to developers. It makes little difference whether unscrupulous developers extract their ill-gotten booty through jacking up the City’s parking rents, or through stiff-arming competing developers who have no parking, while Pfeffer charges higher rents because he does.

Ted Stevens is now considered vulnerable primarily because of similar corrupt little shell games that I exposed. His shell games are under investigation the U.S. Justice Department and my bet is several of the participants are going to jail before it is over. The only thing that will change if Alaska simply replaces old corrupt politicians with younger ones is who gets the graft.

Last year, the U.S. Justice Department charged Pete Kott with four felonies. One of the charges he was convicted of was violating the federal statute requiring public officials to provide “Honest Services,” and another was conspiracy. Kott was convicted of both and I can’t think of a single reason why the same principles would not apply to the above.

ConocoPhillips President Jim Bowles just can't seem to get Palin's attention. He said she just doesn't understand the economics of it all. Maybe he should just try the same old fashioned economics his predecessors at ARCO used with former Governor Tony Knowles. Just write her a big check. Click here (PDF) to see what I mean.

Did you look? If you did, ask yourself three questions. Do you remember any time in state history when it was legal to contribute more than $1000 to an elected official or a committee formed for his election or other benefit? Do you remember a time at all when it was legal to write a check to an elected official even though all of his former campaign debts were paid and he or she wasn't running for office? Better yet, do you remember a time when it was legal for corporations to write $15,000, $20,000 and $30,000 in checks to an elected official for any reason?

On second thought, I suspect that if Jim Bowles tried with Palin what worked so well with Knowles, she would soon take steps to provide him with a matched set of metal bracelets.

Ron Paul for President

Ron Paul 2008

2008-01-08T05:45:00.001-08:00

If you haven't heard about Ron Paul it's because the "mainstream media" is scared of him, he will hurt the Corporate Interests that own America. He will return us to the land of the free by doing away with Personnel Income tax (illegal anyway) and hopefully he will have the US Treasury and Mint control the printing and distribution of American Money, not the Private Federal Reserve Corporation.
Google Ron Paul, Watch his videos on YouTube, learn about this man and tell others, he may be our last, best hope to regain control of America.

Transcript of Jay Leno Interview with Ron Paul, The Tonight Show, Jan. 7, 2008
Courtesy of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno 9:40 PM PST, January 7, 2008

JAY LENO: All right. My first guest, running for
President of the United States among the Republicans,
he's considered a long-shot maverick, but he's the
number one GOP fundraiser right now, and he's moved up
to number three in many of the latest polls. And
don't forget, Huckabee was unknown. Remember he came
here the night before Iowa? Won the next day. The
power of this show, ladies and gentlemen. Please
welcome Ron Paul.

Hey, thanks for coming on such short notice.

RON PAUL: Thank you. Nice to be here.

JAY LENO: Now, I got to ask you. This seemed really
unfair to me. You were excluded from the debate last
night, and I'm trying to figure out why FOX News chose
not to put you on. What do you --

RON PAUL: You know, we tried to find that out. That
was a natural tendency of ours, to try to figure this
out. But they didn't return our call.

JAY LENO: I mean, did you show up and they go, "No,
no"?

RON PAUL: No, it didn't go that far. You know, I
realized that they really had some property rights
ability there, and I wasn't going to crash the party.
But I've been trying to figure out what to do. And I
thought, "Well, maybe I ought to sue them." And then
I thought, "What am I going to sue them on?" I've
decided what to sue them over, and that is for fraud,
because of this fair and balanced idea, you know.
So -- I just --

JAY LENO: Let me ask you. Here's something
interesting. I found out about this sort of on my
own. We went, "Hey, where's Ron Paul?" And then we
made some phone calls. You weren't -- I saw you
interviewed with Wolf Blitzer on CNN. It wasn't
mentioned. I don't think -- I don't want to be
unfair. I didn't see it on MSNBC or any of the other
cable channels. It seems like a big story: One of
the major candidates or certainly major in terms of --
you have as much prestige as anybody else in
fundraising -- is left out. Why was this not a story?

RON PAUL: You know, I don't know. I can speculate.
If I qualified, as you point out, that I had the
qualification, it must be they didn't want to hear the
message. Maybe they're intimidated. Maybe they're
frightened. Maybe they don't want to hear the truth.
Who knows? We'll have to figure that out.

JAY LENO: Okay. I mean, what do you do? Do you call
FOX News at this point and go, "I want to know why I
was excluded"?

RON PAUL: Yeah.

JAY LENO: You seem like a gentleman. You don't seem
like that type. But it seems like you should be
kicking somebody's ass right now.
I mean, you're being extremely polite for something I
think you got screwed over, quite -- you know, I mean, I
might not necessarily agree with you, but I think, as an
American, we like to see everybody get an equal shot,
especially someone who deserves an equal shot. And it
seems like --

RON PAUL: You know -- the American people believe that way too. And I think
you've tapped into the sentiment of what America thinks.
But you know, even the Republican party in New Hampshire
came to bat. They withdrew support for the parties --
for that debate, so we give them credit. But I think
there are others in the Republican party that might just
not as well hear my comments because, you know, I'm a
strict Constitutionalist, and I believe that our platform
should have meaning, that if I vote that way or support
that position, it contradicts what we're doing, you know,
is sort of like waving a flag, and they don't like that.
I think that's part of it. And FOX, I think, is tied
pretty close to some of the national policy issues. And
I think --

JAY LENO: But you're a Republican.

RON PAUL: Yeah, but they don't -- they're not.
That's the problem.

JAY LENO: Okay.

RON PAUL: See, if I follow the platform and they
don't and then I get on the stage with all the others
who are following -- you know, doing that and then I'm
saying, "Hey, I actually believe in the Constitution.
I believe what we're supposed to be doing, and I
believe my promises," and they're not doing it, then
that's pointing this out to them. And I think there's
a little bit of embarrassment there.
And I think the war has a lot to do with the issue
too, because I strongly opposed the war before we went
in there, and I think there are some who think it's
very important that we be over there. There's some
who actually think we should be there for a hundred
years. I don't think that's the right thing to do.

JAY LENO: Okay. Now, everybody seems to be going
after Romney. Nobody seems to like Romney these days
what's the problem with him?

RON PAUL: I guess they figured he was the
frontrunner, but he's coming down now. But you know,
one thing I'm a little bit afraid of is that they
might be doing that for religious reasons, and I don't
like that. I disagree with Romney on some of the
issues, and he's gone after me on the stage, but that
shouldn't be the reason that he doesn't do well.

JAY LENO: Do you think that's the reason?

RON PAUL: I think subtly there is a little bit of
that. And I don't think that's right. But yeah, they
were after him. But I think he's invited some of it
too, some of the flip-flopping. You know, he did
something when he was in Massachusetts, and now the
positions -- and now --

JAY LENO: Yeah. See, I grew up in Massachusetts.
Seems to be a totally different guy than what --
Massachusetts, he and Ted Kennedy were fighting for
the most liberal guy, it seemed.

RON PAUL: Yeah. And then when he was running for the
Senate, he said some things that he doesn't say
anymore.

JAY LENO: Right.

RON PAUL: And the politicians, some of them -- I
guess you've noticed over the years, sometimes they'll
say one thing to one crowd and something to another
crowd. I think that's something that nobody's ever
accused me of doing. I say the same thing, no matter
which ear it is and which crowd it is.

JAY LENO: And you're tied with Giuliani in
New Hampshire. Is that about right? You're --

RON PAUL: That's right, essentially tied.

JAY LENO: You're in the same place.

RON PAUL: Of course, you know, he had 4 percent in
Iowa, and I had 10. And that didn't give me
qualification.

JAY LENO: I find this fascinating. I mean, I know
Mitt Romney spends his own money. He's got quite a
personal fortune.

RON PAUL: Yeah. He has more than I do.

JAY LENO: But you have raised more money from
outside, you know --

RON PAUL: Yeah, I think we raised the most of anybody
in the fourth quarter. Of course, they haven't
released all their numbers yet, which means they're
not competing. But we raised almost $20 million. And
I say "we." It really is "we" because, you know, the
grass roots do it, these meet-up groups who we have,
like 1400 meet-up groups around the country.
And they have fun doing this. They have a day, and they
say, "Let's all send Ron Paul some money on this day."
And they go and do it, and they break all kinds of
records. Pretty amazing

JAY LENO: Let's take a break. When we come back, I
want to ask you two things. I want you to think about
this. Don't tell me now. When we come back, I want
to find out -- let's say you get the nomination.
Which of that field would you pick as your running
mate? Don't tell me now.

RON PAUL: OK. I'll have to think hard about that
one.

JAY LENO: What do you think of the Democratic
candidates?

More with Ron Paul after this.

Welcome back. We're here with Presidential candidate Ron
Paul.
OK, let's say you win the nomination. Now, most people
that win usually pick from the other candidates in the
field. Which of the other Republicans do you choose as
your running mate?

RON PAUL: Well, the one that agrees with me on all
the issues.
But they don't seem to be very agreeable right now, so I
would have to talk to them and see if they've changed
their mind, and then I would have to interpret whether
they're very sincere about it.

JAY LENO: But anybody you like? Anybody that's kind
of close but not quite?

RON PAUL: Well, not yet. We're still working on
that. You know, when we had a little confrontation
early on in the debates with Mayor Giuliani when he
was confused about what causes terrorism --
-- I sent him some books. And I said, "Please read these
books." But so far it doesn't sound like he's read his
books. He hasn't done his homework.

(Applause.)

JAY LENO: Let me ask you something about this
terrorist thing, and clear this up, because you hear
things secondhand. You said that we were to blame?

RON PAUL: No, no, not really.

JAY LENO: Okay.

RON PAUL: Our policies have a lot to do with it. The
people who are to blame are the thugs.

JAY LENO: You're not talking about 9/11?

RON PAUL: Yeah, I'm talking about 9/11. The thugs
that killed our people, that came over here, they're a
hundred percent to blame. But that's sort of like
saying if somebody gets murdered, the murderer is a
hundred percent responsible. But people always look
for motives. If you're looking for the murderer, you
have to know motives. So we have to look for the
motives of these people who go insane to try to kill
us. And the motives are related to the fact that we
occupy their countries. Even before 9/11, we were
plenty -- a lot involved in the Middle East. That is
very significant. I do not believe for a minute that
they come here only because we're free and prosperous.
That isn't the case. There may be a few, but you
can't motivate a people to do that. So you and I, the
American people, they're not responsible. But some of
our bad policies in the Middle East now for 50, 60
years -- we used our CIA to install the shah in Iran.
If somebody did that to us, we'd be pretty annoyed.
Or if the Chinese had military bases on our land or
said that they came here to protect their oil, the
American people would be pretty outraged. The
Republicans and Democrats would be joined together.
They would be really very annoyed.

JAY LENO: We have their toys at least. We have the
Chinese toys.

RON PAUL: That's it. That's better than --

JAY LENO: You don't support the surge?

RON PAUL: No, I didn't vote for the surge. Hopefully
the surge had something to do with it; there's less
violence. But I'm afraid what happened is that we
lost the south. The south now is all controlled by
the Shiites, and they're aligned with the Iranians.
And the British left. So we more or less lost the
south, and there's more peace there and less killing.
But there's more killing over there. It's still very,
very disruptive. I'm scared to death that we're going
to be in Pakistan before it's over. And we still
haven't taken off the table any option to go into
Iran. We don't need that. The American people don't
need a bigger war. Besides, we're broke. We don't
have any money to afford this anyway.

JAY LENO: Do you find it weird that people are more
concerned about the economy now than they are about
the war? The economy seems to beat out the war.

RON PAUL: Absolutely. The economy has become a big
issue just in this last year since I've been running,
but it should have been expected. But it is connected
to the war. The other night when they asked the
question, "Well, if we can afford a trillion dollars
fighting this war in Iraq, we can afford a trillion
dollars for medical care for the people," yes, that's
where our money is. The trillion dollars went to the
war. It should be here taking care of our people here
at home.

JAY LENO: And you say also we need to stop printing
dollars. What was that all about?

RON PAUL: Well, it's very clear -- you know, they
make fun of the fact that I refer to the Constitution,
that only gold and silver should be legal tender. And
the founders understood what runaway inflation was all
about.

JAY LENO: Well, it used to be; right?

RON PAUL: Yeah, sure, up until 1971. But the
founders had runaway inflation with the continental
dollar, and they say, "No more bills of credit," which
is paper money. And people make fun of what I say
about "Have something solidly behind the currency so
governments can't print it." But I think the silly
notion is that when government, the politicians --
trust them? When they need a little bit of money, let
me print it? They tend to do that. Then they wonder
why does the value of the dollar go down? They don't
talk about printing money. They talk about, "We have
to do something about the value of the dollar. The
Canadian dollar now is worth more than the American
dollar." It's related to the fact that we allow the
politicians to print money when they want to. So we
have to deal with monetary policy. We can't escape
it. It's coming.

JAY LENO: Do you think Americans really want change?
Because everybody says, "Oh" -- every candidate's got
change. I've heard the word "change" more than
anything else, yet we still seem to keep doing the
same things. We don't really want that much change,
do we?

RON PAUL: You know, I think it's a mixed bag. I
think the American people want change.
And the politicians know that, so everybody gets up and
says, "I'm for change. I'm for change." But the whole
thing is, is what kind of change? You know, right now
whether you like Republicans or Democrats, does foreign
policy change? No. Does monetary policy change, and are
they going to even talk about it? Does fiscal policy
change? No. We elect the conservative Republicans, and
they make the deficit worse than the rest. Yeah, the
American people are tired of that. They want real
change. And to me, that means the only significant
change we ought to have is get enough people in
Washington that read the Constitution, obey the
Constitution, do only the things that we're allowed to
do.

JAY LENO: Let's say you're not running for President.
You're sitting home in Texas. You're not in either
party. Which of the Democrats do you like? Which is
closest to --

RON PAUL: Closest to it. Well, that doesn't mean I
have to vote for them.

JAY LENO: I'm just saying which -- if you had to pick
someone from the Democratic field, who do you like?

RON PAUL: Well, a good friend of mine that I talk to
all the time on foreign policy is Dennis, Dennis
Kucinich, because he understands civil liberties. He
understands a lot about foreign policy. And sometimes
when there's only two of us that will vote in the
House against expanding our war in the Middle East, he
and I will be voting together. So I have a lot of
respect for him, but we would disagree on economic
policy. But it's good that you have allies on both
sides of the aisle.

JAY LENO: Now, I know you've got to go back to
New Hampshire tonight; right?

RON PAUL: That is correct.

JAY LENO: Well, thanks for coming. I just wanted to
clear up that thing. I thought it was blatantly
unfair, and thanks for coming by and giving us a
little --

RON PAUL: Thank you.

JAY LENO: Ron Paul. We'll be right back.

You do not have to pay income tax, it is illegal.

"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw Light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe... corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."

FBI investigates link involving Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska

By ERIKA BOLSTAD and GREG GORDON

McClatchy Newspapers

U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, an Alaska Republican

WASHINGTON | The FBI is investigating the National Science Foundation’s award of $170 million in contracts to the oil field-services company that oversaw renovations on U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens’ home, McClatchy Newspapers has learned.

Veco Corp. in 1999 captured a lucrative five-year foundation contract to provide logistics and support for polar research, although it had no previous experience in that field. In the same period, Veco’s top executive managed renovations that doubled the size of the longtime Republican senator’s Girdwood, Alaska, home — raided July 30 by the FBI.

Foundation spokesman Dana Cruikshank told McClatchy Newspapers the FBI had looked into the 1999 award, worth up to $70 million, and a 2004 follow-up contract for as many as seven years that the company values at up to $100 million.

Justice Department spokesman Bryan Sierra and an FBI spokeswoman, Deborah Weierman, declined to comment.

Veco’s founder and chief executive officer, Bill Allen, pleaded guilty in the spring to making $400,000 in illegal payments to Alaska lawmakers, including Stevens’ son, Ben Stevens, then-president of the Alaska Senate. Allen is cooperating in an FBI corruption investigation that also has led to the conviction of a second Veco executive, a lobbyist, and a former Alaska state representative. Three other state lawmakers are awaiting trial on bribery charges. Ben Stevens has not been charged.

Alaska’s sole congressman, U.S. Rep. Don Young, a Republican, is also under investigation for his ties to Veco.

There had been little hint as to how Veco might have benefited from the relationship its CEO had with the elder Stevens, who served for several years as the Senate Appropriations Committee chairman. Stevens also oversaw the foundation on the Senate Commerce Committee.

No evidence has surfaced that Stevens directly steered the contract to Veco, but his aggressive support for increased funding for arctic research coincided with the company’s sudden emergence as a major player in providing logistics for polar scientists.

Stevens, 83, would not comment on the investigation.

Insurance scams

2007-08-09T01:00:00.000-07:00

Insurance, it is one of the biggest scams that the illuminati has perpetrated on us. next to Taxes it is one of the best ways of taking the money you eran and turning it back to the Illuminati families.
Through their control of legislators and lobbiest activity they first made madatory minimums for all 50 States, then instead of demanding that all Insurance Companies provide a cheap, basic coverage for the "required by law" insurance they allow the Insurance companies to bill what ever they want. It is class warfare, forcing those that cannot afford thair vig to break the law and get fined even more, eventually becoming repeat offenders and entering the Illuminati Prison system.
I drive one of the safest vehicles made in America, a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. It has heavy duty antilock brakes, Heavy duty transmission, dual airbags, people avoid running into and drive with great care around it (I have it painted to look just like an Alaska State trooper car, down to antennas and spot light). Geico will insure me for 52.00 a month, $624.00 per year. I paid $700.00 for the car.
When States decide to require that all drivers have commercial insurance they should require a standard minimum Insurance subsidized by the State for low income drivers. of course the low income don't have the same resource to hire people to lobby for them, so this fairness will never happen, the rich will just keep finding ways to channel the poors money into their pockets.
Right now the 2% Illuminati Families control the banks, The Insurance Companies, The Federal Reserve and the World Bank.
They tax you for their gasoline, they tax you for the land you own, they tax you for the vehicle you drive, they tax you to send your neighbors children to their State run schools, they tax you for "luxury" and they tax you for death.
You have to pay them to insure your Home, Possessions, Vehicles, Life, Health...if you consider all the tax you pay them, and all the fees that they collect, and all the insurance they collect your lucky if you actually get to keep 1/2 of each dollar you earn for your own use, the rest goes right into the collective pool of the richest of the rich, the Illuminati.
The Illuminati bought a lease on all 7 WTC buildings just before Sept 11, 2001, they took out a double indemnity for terrorist attack insurance policy, they used their own "Security Team" under the direction of George Bush's Brother to install expolsives on the night before 9/11 while also stealing almost all the gold, diamonds, securities, bonds etc. from the WTC offices.
9/10 was Marvin Bush's last day as head of Securacom, his replacement died in the WTC.
The payout for the WTC insurance was made, and all the billions paid to the Illuminati came from the US Taxpayer.

How the elite wage war

2007-08-07T02:05:00.000-07:00

October 2004
380 tons of powerful explosives, including those used to demolish buildings and detonate nuclear weapons, disappeared from a major Iraqi munitions cache.

Our troops moved into Iraq with such speed that the munitions needed to fight a counter offensive were over run. Bush had to make sure the "bad guys" had enough weapons to wage some sort of war, so it was arranged for 380 TONS of explosives and munitions to be left laying around unguarded.

July 2007
Iraqi Insurgents somehow gain possession of thousands of US Arms, munitions and Body Armor, again apparently just left laying around unguarded by the crack Iraqi forces we entrusted them to.

If this is not evidence enough that Bush is waging a war for the profit of war you should remove your blinders.

This is a War of profit, for the benefit of the elite. They are funneling Billions of dollars from our taxes into their privately Skull & Bones owned industries at the cost of our blood. You will not see Bush, Cheney or other elitist scums children serving in the War, they are the royals, and it is for we the low surfs to toil and die at their bidding.

Memorials

2007-07-26T23:18:00.000-07:00

Memorials are supposed to be just that, memories of someone departed. John Wayne Airport, Kennedy Space Center, Bondsteel Bridge, these memorials were named after great Men to remember their names and the contributions they made to society. All of them were dedicated to those individuals AFTER they died.

There are good reasons for memorials to be postponed until an individual dies. It is supposed to be an honor, not an ego booster. It becomes bothersome when you name something like the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, Ted Stevens Airport or Don Young Bridge and then have to decide on new names when and if the still living (and still un-indited) persons of fame do something that moves them from famous to infamous, hero to heel. Aren't we lucky we don't have a Pete Kott Parkway or Ben Stevens High School to rename?

If we can't wait until people die to memorialize them I would hope that they would at least take it as a signal from society that it is time to vacate their public life, step down, bite the bullet, take the gold watch, hit the golden silk, or go sit on an ice flow and nobly drift out to sea, sparing us the burden of their senile shell of their former selves and the inevitable investigations, inditements and incarcerations that will follow when their foul deeds are eroded into view by the shifting sands of the political landscape.

They do everything but name names and point out the Skulls and Illuminati. "A loose affiliation" I think they called "it". They even made almost obligatory reference to the JFK Coup and how the grassy Knoll shooters were buried in the desert. I especially liked the old gunsmith that related that tale and others, but thought that the friendly FBI agent was miscast, a little to down homey, fresh off the res, borderline idiot for me to buy him as an FBI agent.

The action is fast, the shooting somewhat realistic (esp if you like watching for details like position and breathing, Mark did his homework and the director used it well. Now all we need is for a few good men like the Gunny to step up and do some housecleaning. One or two in each State should be a good start.

And then FEMA lept into action...

2007-07-01T03:32:00.000-07:00

Who ya gonna call when the next big earthquake/volcano/tsunami/fire etc. disrupts your life? We all know that FEMA will leap to action and promptly fall to their face in a near comatose state. The Red Cross will try and be there with food, water and blankets and there will hopefully be a few law dogs and fire fighters mobilized. The national guard will do what they can with the stripped down, over burdened and underfunded resources that they have, but when the crap really hits the turboprop you had better be ready to buckle up and weather the storm alone, because there is a good chance that for several hours to several months thats the only help that will be coming.
Be aware, be prepared and start deciding which neighbors you will eat first.

Enlightenment for the masses

2007-06-18T19:15:00.000-07:00

Becoming enlightened has almost always been a laborious endeavor. Be it seclusion in a Monastic retreat fasting on bread and water until you see the inner light, devoting your life to penance and suffering and daily lashings until you strip away your ego and allow the eternal to become one with you, or dropping a hit of good acid and facing all your inner demons at once in a 12 hour crash course in Groking enlightenment has not been something for the timid.
Once I was a member of a group called the Rosicrucian Order, reputed to be the oldest secret society known to mankind. Of the teachings that they doled out Monthly, reputed to be handed down from Egyptian masters, most were simple mental tricks that could be replicated through any number of means. One Monthly exercise that I am sure the Order still attends to to this day (and may hunt me down and boil me alive in a bag of cats for divulging) is the focus group activity, where each and every member of the Order of the Rosy Cross sits in meditation at the same time where ever they are on the Planet(or other places) and focuses their energies on a preselected individual, sending him or her cosmic good vibrations. I always thought that was a neat idea, but never actually noted recordable results.
The concept of connecting the universal uber mind is certainly not novel to the Rosicrucian's, and even late night radio icon Art Bell has done experiments in focusing the collective consciousness to deal with a specific task, like redirecting a hurricane. He did have noticeable results and stopped performing such experiments, scared away by the effectiveness of his trial run.
A new group is going to attempt something that I have been contemplating since the mid 1970's, connecting the Oversouls and innerminds of the Planet, and hopefully dragging along the heathen unenlightened that would never consider meditating, much less Groking, into a swirling maelstrom of cosmic consciousness, and hopefully raising the overall quality of the Human mind and Spirit.
This might be the last and best hope for the Planet, and I would encourage all that understand the powers within to join on this day and radiate, and to those that don't understand or believe, please just sit quietly and allow the transformation to take seed and feel it grow as you begin to see the World around you in a diffrent light.

The sound of spirit

2007-06-16T05:25:00.000-07:00

It has been said that once you could hear the sound of the spheres in the sky resonating. That makes sense to me, and I wish I could hear that music today.

The Planets effect us gravitationally, each having a variable effect with their distance and speed. That Pythagoras could hear 10 major notes was later confirmed by the establishment of a 10th orbital body around the Sun.

As each Planets gentle touch stroked the Earths magnetic fields and pushed on her atmospheric shell someone finely attuned to the energy in the air could hear and feel the slight nuances. Today we hear the high voltage rectifier in the TV and the electric motor in the Fridge and the mum of the telephone lines and the 60hz fuzz from the electric grids surrounding us and the lower resonances of the radio waves that become part of our holographic reality as soon as we are born on this Planet.

I doubt that the sound of the Spheres will ever be heard again on Earth so long as we persist as a species. Our ability to create cogs and wheels and pumps and pulleys and pistons has both blessed and cursed us.

Where to hold a meeting?

2007-05-18T09:15:00.000-07:00

I hear that Gov. Palin wants to hold court outside Juneau to bring the legislature closer to the people. I think it's a great Idea, and would like to recommend that Sarah consider holding meetings at Spring Creek Correctional Institution so she might be able to make the most of the experience and insight of former Alaskan Lawmakers and Lobbiests. A considerable portion of Alaska's population is already there, and a special legislative session can be convened in Arizona giving thise Alaskans incarcerated there a chance to take part in the process and giving Sarah a use for the Murky Jet. While I understand that she has elected never to use the jet she can fly the rest of the lawmakers down and back, or perhaps just down there.

Clinton's Heroin/Cocaine cash tops 24 Million

2007-04-17T02:52:00.001-07:00

Clinton has over $24,000,000.00 to spend on becoming the next Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

As with most of the Clinton fortunes one has to wonder how much of it is a result of the Clinton's "Mena Mafia" drug cartel operations. While Govenor of Arkansas Bill Clinton headed up the operations in AR for the CIA bringing in tons of processed Cocaine and Heroin for distribution throughout the US.

Once the drugs were safely out of CIA/Skull and Bones hands and down to the street level distributors the rounding up pf the "drug dealers" and confiscation of their drugs (and homes and cars) would commence. The Skulls would profit from the initial sales to regional gangs, and profit again from the income of the "Drug War" and the incarceration in the Chaney Prisons of the sellers and users.

Elect Hillery "Skull and Bones" Clinton, the extremely wealthy need ALL your money!

Who killed the Dead Dog?

2007-04-09T01:40:00.000-07:00

After 13 years of being the most notorious and most excellent party place in the MatSu the Dead Dog Saloon (AKA "Rainbow lake Lounge", AKA "Scatters", AKA Borealis Beach Club") will be closing their doors on Friday the 13th of April.

Jim and "Ms Lucky" Lisa will be hosting their last party this coming Friday and asked me to invite all their old friends to stop by for one last blow out.

As for who killed the Dead Dog, there are a few in the line up that I think a finger (I won't say which one) could be pointed at. George W. Bush and his Quest for Oil in the sand and sun of Iraq certainly played a part. Inflated gas prices made many choose between a night out dancing and drinking and filling the tank with gas, come to think of it the price of a full tank of gas in most rigs could pay for several nights drinking at the Dead Dog. Thanks Dubya, thats another one I owe ya.

The Alaska State Troopers certainly played a role in the demise of the Dog. For some reason they have maintained a close watch on the Dead Dog for many years. I used to watch them parking in the dark across the road when I drove a cab in the Valley, waiting like an old west highway man for a hapless victim to forget to signal or any other legally intercessionable infraction as they departed the Dead Dog. The death knell could be heard tolling it's sorrowful chime when the AST decided that the land directly behind the Dead Dog Saloon was a good place to put an Alaska State Trooper Sub Station, assuring that the patrons would feel their hot breath on them as they tried to forget the multitude of other oppressions heaped on them over a cold beer after work.

The irony (there always has to some irony, doesn't there?) is that Lisa sold the land where the AST put their lair in an attempt to breath new life into the old Dog and instead hastened its final demise.

The Dead Dog Saloon is for sale, (see http://alaskahome.info) perhaps it would make a good "Cop Bar" where the Boys in Blue could gather after a hard days crime fighting to toast their domination over the evildoers, potheads and small business persons. But more than likely some BushCo Oil company will buy the acreage and put another Gas Station Multimart on the corner, or it will just stand empty, a silent monument to an Alaska that once was where Men could smoke and drink and be merry and Women could entice them out of their massive, ah, paychecks with sly smiles and bared breasts.

The Right Wing Fundamentalists will no doubt have a rousing prayer meeting come Sunday, knowing that the Dead Dog Saloon is just one of many dominoes falling before the onslaught of puritanical viewpoints that lead them to believe they have the right and obligation to dictate how others should live. The Silver Fox, 4 Corners and other Valley watering holes are feeling the same tight vise around their balls that brought down the Dead Dog.

So lets make sure that when they are rising their sacramental wine in a toast to their victory over the free thinkers, dope smokers and bike riders they remember that we can still turn out in mass when one of our fellows falls, and make this Friday the 13th the good old fashioned Irish wake that will give the wine sippers nightmares for Months.

Let's make sure that while Jim and Lisa get a righteous send off and drain the taps, empty the wine racks and party till the law says we have to stop! (that's still 5 Am, for now) Soon they will be saying we can't even start.

This editorial contains the views of this writer, and if you don't like them reach around behind you and grasp that big stick and pull hard before someone else grabs it and pushes.

Guest workers just Bigbro speak for Slave labor

2007-03-15T06:32:00.000-07:00

The news is abuzz with the "Guest Worker" situation. It's a crock of spin. They say we need these guest workers to fill all the jobs that Americans are unwilling to do.
When I worked at the Whitestone Orchards in Washington State I started the first day as a picker, the second day I was promoted to checker, checking the quality of the other (Mexican) pickers work. The third day I was promoted to tractor driver, shuffling crates of apples.
I can't imagine that one of the mexicans would have been promoted three times in three days.

I opted to live in the "camp" with the pickers. I was charged $100.00 per Month for a two room uninsulated shack with a bed, Table, chair, two lights and three outlets. I had to provide my own hotplate and use the communal toilets and share the shower house. The cabins, toilets and showers were the worst dwellings I have ever seen, and I have lived in Korea, Germany, France and have visited Mexico and other "third World" countries. On the third day in the camp, after asking about fixing some stuff there, I was made "camp manager". Go figure.

Most of those working with me were illegal aliens. They were not hired because there no American Citizens willing to work, but because the managers were able to pay them less, charge them more, and arrange their "deportation" just before the last payday.

Americans were willing to take the jobs if they were paid honest wages and treated with respect. The illegals were willing to take the reduced wages and bear the disrespect.

At $8.00 per 4 ft x 4 ft bin of apples a good picker could make several hundred dollars a day. Americans were not hired because they were usually "troublemakers" always wanting safe working conditions. I was assigned to spray the orchards with pesticides one day. I read the label and it called for complete hazmat gear for the sprayer. I was to spray the rows that were not being picked that day. The next day the pickers and their children would be in the rows I'd sprayed the day before. Eating lunch and playing in the pesticide covered grass. The pestcide caused the internal organs of the "pests" to hemorage. When I pointed out the evident dangers to the pickers to the manager I was told to either do as I was told or get out.
I did the spraying, and that night I went door to door in the camp and explaned the dangers in the sprayed areas to the Mexican pickers. Not a single one of them entered the areas I'd sprayed for the next three days, and I was fired for being a troublemaker.

Guest Worker is just a nice term for slave labor or indentured servant. Most are charged to come to America to work, have their passports (if they have one) taken, are charged for housing, food, water etc., and if Americans were hired to do the same work we would be pating more for vegtables at the supermarket, but would be paying less in welfare to able bodied Americans.

The industrial giants that own the forests, farms and manufacturing plants don't care about you, the Mexicans or the laws they consider themselves above. They only care about wealth and power, and until we have the second American Revolution it will remain that way.

Rush Limbaugh is part of the problem

2007-03-04T07:46:00.000-08:00

I just spent an agonizing hour listening to Rush's radio show, and I have to say he is one of the most vile of the Republican repugnant and a true traitor to the American Dream. He is nothing but a paid shill for the power elite that control your lives and should be one of the first to be lined up on the wall when the shooting starts.
He derides the Global warming "fanatics" from his pulpit based on his own uneducated ignorance, belittles scientists and educators and anyone that does not subscribe to his firm "support the Republican Party no matter what" beliefs.
I saddens me that a person with his narrow views should be so popular, it indicates the low level of understanding and intelligence in this nation, but then, that is exactly what the Lords of the Illuminati class have programmed us for, listening to idiots spouting idiotic views and accepting them as mainstream. Big Brother has an asshole, and Rush is it.

2006-12-29T21:46:00.000-08:00

2007 is just a day away and it seems to me we are still stuck in 1057 in a lot of ways.
It has become somewhat common knowledge that the elite power base killed JFK, organized almost every War since the Revolution to enrich themselves and control the American media, The federal reserve bank, The World bank and most of the major corporations that supply your food, merchandise and medicines.

So what can we do to bring down ultimate power? perhaps there is nothing that can be done, but hiding from the truth will just help them expand and fulfill their goals of making us all slaves, even more so than we are now.

So what can you do? Tell people, speak out, question authority, teach your children to question what they are told by the talking heads on TV and read in the Newspapers. Those that worship the old Gods and seek wealth and power in unlimited perportions must be stopped, thay have already effectivly destroyed what was America, and if there is to be any freedom in our future they MUST be brought out into the light and fought at every turn. As John Lennon said, Power to the People!

Another American traitor has passed. I know, he was a President, Senator etc.
He was also a member of the Warren Commission that whitewashed the murder of JFK by Bush/Nixon and he later pardoned Nixon for his role in a "third rate burglery" at the Watergate by the same men (correction, cowards) that were there on the grassy knoll when JFK was killed.

What ever service he did for the country was negated by his role in the coverup of the murder of JFK, and his reward for his complicity was to be appointed the Presidency.

I will not the passing of one of the men that helped sell America down the drain. He was just another sell out that turned his back on truth, Liberty and the American way and ensured his own wealth and comfort by doing the bidding of the Illuminati.

Corruption comes in two flavors… Democrat and Republican.

2006-10-18T12:34:00.000-07:00

While Governor Knowles gave BP a free, $200 million oil lease, VECO and friends laundered $400 thousand through a Washington DC bank account, known as "the Governor's Fund", created for Knowles personal use. They evaded Alaska's contribution limits doing about the same thing that got Congressman Tom Delay indicted in Texas.

When BP attempted to takeover ARCO and monopolize Alaska's oil industry, Knowles sided with BP by ordering his Attorney General to oppose the Federal Trade Commission's lawsuit to stop BP's takeover What good is Knowles' negotiating experience if he's negotiating for the wrong team?

VECO's more recent cash for Ben Stevens favors wasn't even a little bit subtle. It took the cooperation of every Republican in the State Legislature for Ben to preside as Senate President while taking bribes from VECO. Any legislator who says they didn't know is either lying, or way too stupid to represent you.

Over the years, the VECO owned "Voice of The Times" has published numerous articles advocating the end of Alaska's PFD program. If VECO can get us to patch our potholes and pay our teachers with Permanent Fund money, there will be less pressure for our legislators to get what we should from VECO's oil company clients who produce our oil.

In 2005, when Ben Stevens introduced legislation to initiate VECO's plan, I began a campaign to expose the money Ben was taking from VECO.

Long before that, it was Tony Knowles I was writing about for doing the same thing. ThatÂs what that special election in 1999 was all about. Tony was trying to persuade you to give him permission to raid the Permanent Fund and spend it on capital projects. VECO's owners raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for a campaign to get you to vote yes.

Any Alaskan willing to put Democrat Tony Knowles back in the Governor's chair or vote to send any former Republican member of the House or Senate back to Juneau should just save VECO the trouble and hand deliver their last PFD to VECO. Then move to North Dakota. That would raise the average IQ in both states.

If you doubt the content of this article, just follow the money. VECO's friends, who have given tens of thousands to re-elect House and Senate Republicans, have abandoned the Republican nominee for Governor. She's not for sale! They are backing their old friend Tony.

If you agree that ending the corruption is the most important issue facing Alaska, and trust that my campaign to end corruption is on the right track, please vote Democrat for House and Senate and vote Sarah Palin, Republican for Governor.

Onward Christian Soldiers!

2006-09-25T04:55:00.000-07:00

Do you think this Christ fellow everyone seems to adore so much thought that you should march off in battle and slay the heathenish? I'd tend to think he was more inclined toward sitting down over a bottle of wine and breaking bread and discussing things other than the most advantageous way of staving off mutual annihilation.

How about we have just one Church. We can make it a big round 500 story building in each City. Inside the front door you will find doors leading to the elevators that will take you to your proper place of worship. The Amish will be allowed space on the first dew floors to avoid being forced to utilize new fangled inventions. The Islamic sects will be allowed to have an open minaret at the top to chat prayers from, or a smaller one down around ground level off toward Mecca.

The extreme sects will be afforded space high enough that their mass suicides will be assured success and over a catch basin to make cleanup easier. All true faithful Jews, Christians and Islamic recognize that there is only one God, they even agree that he was the God of Abraham, so they should have no problem accepting that theirs is the true temple of God, and it is a huge Mansion with many rooms.

The Hindu may need to have the back side of the building to allow the free entry of cattle, monkeys and other reincarnated or acesended souls. And they should be kept away from the ritual animal sacrifice religions, I'm fairly certain that the Amish would be right at home with the Hindu but some of them might take to worshiping the Amish livestock.

We can even build a stadium into the structure and let the Christians and whoever they are pissed at this week battle it out and keep the carnage contained. And just imagine the ticket sales to a great 10 hour all out death match between two factions be it the FBI and Extreme Right Wing Fundamentalists or a slower, more refined Catholic and Protestant hit and run action.

The Knights of Malta Hospitaliers and Sisters of Mercy can be kept busy patching up the survivors. In addition to sports/combat stadiums the Temple can accommodate shopping, banking, civil departments, restaurants and apartments so that those that wish might never need to leave the building and be exposed to the Heathen World outside the Holy Temple Grounds.

Then we can stop being concerned with World Wars being fought over Religion, Political Leaders creating public policy based on the belief that they are divinely manifested to guide the World to his one true faith.

Tony Takes It!

2006-09-20T22:23:00.000-07:00

Did Knowles Forget? VECO owner Bill Allen led his 1994 transition team

2006-09-20T02:10:00.000-07:00

Tony Knowles recently proclaimed himself squeaky clean of VECO influence. I doubt that Tony really forgot but maybe a few Daily News clips can refresh his memory. When Tony was elected he appointed VECO owner Bill Allen to head up his transition team.

Bill Allen helped raise over four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000.00) for Tony to use as he saw fit and Tony gave VECO’s clients a lease on a multi billion dollar oilfield without the requirement of competitive bid.

In an article printed in the Anchorage Daily News, October 18, 1998, that made reference to me (Ray Metcalfe) for blasting Tony Knowles for giving away Alaska’s resources in exchange for oil company favors, the Daily News said the following about Tony Knowles:

* “Within weeks of his 1994 election, he traveled to the corporate headquarters of Arco, Exxon and BP in Los Angeles, Houston and London. He took with him members of his transition team, including Bill Allen, chairman of VECO Corp., the oil field service company that years later won contracts to build production modules for Arco's Alpine field and BP's Northstar. VECO publishes the Voice of the Times.”

On January 16, 1995, the Anchorage Daily News said:

* “VECO also has the ear of Gov. Tony Knowles. The company and people affiliated with it gave Knowles' campaign $8,500.00 and VECO chairman Bill Allen is a member of the Knowles transition team.”

Then there is the story of “the Governor’s Fund.” reported in the Anchorage Daily News December 23, 1995:

· “Oil companies and lawyers were the biggest spenders earlier this month at an event that poured more than $161,000 into a political fund that Gov. Tony Knowles can tap at will. …..The Governor's Fund is a Democratic Party account that was set up primarily for Knowles' use. The figures released Friday also show that, so far this year, $375,000 has been deposited into the Governor's Fund and about $105,000 has been spent…. More than three-quarters of the $160,000 donated at the event would be illegal under a proposed ballot initiative to reform Alaska's campaign finance laws. The initiative, which supporters hope to get on next fall's ballot, would bar contributions to parties from companies, political action committees and labor unions.”

The Governors Fund didn't account for what had already been contributed to Tony’s campaign. It was in addition to his campaign contributions.

Immediately following the events described above, Tony Knowles arranged to give British Petroleum a completely rewritten lease. The Lease was conveyed in a manner intended to avoid the competitive bid process and given free of charge to BP even though Governor Knowles’ own advisers told him that the lease could possibly sell for as much as $225 million if put out to competitive bid on the same revised terms Tony was giving BP for free.

When Governor Knowles proposed his dirty deed, on April 19, 1996, the Anchorage Daily News said the following:

* “Ever since the Northstar deal was announced, several legislators have questioned whether it would be wise, or even legal, to alter leases that originally were purchased 17 years ago in a competitive-bid sale. Others have complained that the agreement has too many ''weasel words,'' especially in the nonbinding local-hire provisions.”

As soon as the deal was done the following companies put additional $59,000 into the “Governor’s Fund.” October 7, 1996, BP $20,000.00 and ARCO $10,000.00. On October 17, 1996. BP, an additional $10,000.00. October 30, 1996, ARCO, an additional $4,000.00. On November 5, 1996, VECO gave $15,000.00.

In an Anchorage Daily News article published May 30, 1998: Fritz Pettyjohn, a former Republican legislator from Anchorage, was quoted as he emerged from a closed-door meeting of the Republican Party Central Committee. The Committee had elected to show a united front, rejecting a proposed withdrawal of Party support, from John Lindauer. John Lindauer was the Republican Party’s Nominee for Governor, and he had repeatedly been caught lying about his candidacy.

Placing his loyalty to party and unity over his loyalty to ethics and honor, Fritz Pettyjohn, described John Lindauer as a “pathological liar” to an Anchorage Daily News reporter. After doing so, he then said “But, hey, he's our guy” and went on to explain that in the spirit of party unity, they had decided to hang tough with Lindauer.

Parties and party leaders will face credibility problems until they choose to place loyalty to honor and ethics above their loyalty to party unity and a united front.

I invite the Democratic Party to take a hard look at the above and do with Tony Knowles what the Republicans should have done with John Lindauer in 1998.

The Ringworm Children

2006-04-04T00:41:00.000-07:00

How the Israeli Government Irradiated 100,000 Israeli Kids
Israel Insider/Barry Chamish October 28 2005
On August 14, at 9 PM, Israel's Channel Ten television screened a documentary film which exposes the ugliest secret of Israel's Labor party founders: the deliberate mass radiation poisoning of nearly all Sephardi youths of a generation.
"The Ringworm Children" (translated in Hebrew as "100,000 Rays"), directed by David Belhassen and Asher Hemias, recently won the prize for "best documentary" at the Haifa International film festival, and in the past year has made the rounds of Jewish and Israeli film festivals around the world. But it had yet to come to Israeli television screens. The subject is the mass irradiation of hundreds of thousands of young Israeli immigrants from Middle Eastern countries -- Sephardim, as they are called today. The story goes like this:
In 1951, the director general of the Israeli Health Ministry, Dr. Chaim Sheba, flew to America and returned with seven x-ray machines, supplied to him by the American army.
They were to be used in a mass atomic experiment with an entire generation of Sephardi youths to be used as guinea pigs. Every Sephardi child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head. For doing so, the American government paid the Israeli government 300 million Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60 million liras. The money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of dollars today.
To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away on "school trips" and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment for the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after their doses were given, while many of the rest developed cancers that killed thousands over time and are still killing them now. While living, the victims suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic headaches and psychosis.
That is the subject of the documentary in cold terms. It is another matter to see the victims on the screen.
To watch the Moroccan lady describe what getting 35,000 times the dose of allowable x-rays in her head feels like. "I screamed make the headache go away. Make the headache go away. Make the headache go away. But it never went away."
To watch the bearded man walk hunched down the street. "I'm in my fifties and everyone thinks I'm in my seventies. I have to stoop when I walk so I won't fall over. They took my youth away with those x-rays."
To watch the old lady who administered the doses to thousands of children: "They brought them in lines. First their heads were shaved and smeared in burning gel. Then a ball was put between their legs and the children were ordered not to drop it, so they wouldn't move. The children weren't protected over the rest of their bodies. There were no lead vests for them. I was told I was doing good by helping to remove ringworm. If I knew what dangers the children were facing, I would never have cooperated. Never!"
Because the whole body was exposed to the rays, the genetic makeup of the children was often altered, affecting the next generation. We watch the woman with the distorted face explain, "All three of my children have the same cancers my family suffered. Are you going to tell me that's a coincidence?"
The majority of the victims were Moroccan because they were the most numerous of the Sephardi immigrants. The generation that was poisoned became the country's perpetual poor and criminal class. It didn't make sense. The Moroccans who fled to France became prosperous and highly educated. The common explanation was that France got the rich, thus smart ones. The real explanation is that every French Moroccan child didn't have his brain cells fried with gamma rays.
The film made it perfectly plain that this operation was no accident. The dangers of x-rays had been known for over forty years. We read the official guidelines for x-ray treatment in 1952. The maximum dose to be given a child in Israel was .5 rad. There was no mistake made. The children were deliberately poisoned.
David Deri makes the point that only Sephardi children received the x-rays: "I was in class and the men came to take us on a tour. They asked our names. The Ashkenazi children were told to return to their seats. The dark children were put on the bus."
The film presents a historian who first gives a potted history of the eugenics movement. In a later sound bite, he declares that the ringworm operation was a eugenics program aimed at weeding out the perceived weak strains of society. The Moroccan lady is back on the screen. "It was a Holocaust, a Sephardi Holocaust. And what I want to know is why no one stood up to stop it."
David Deri, on film and then as a panel member, relates the frustration he encountered when trying to find his childhood medical records. "All I wanted to know was what they did to me. I wanted to know who authorized it. I wanted to trace the chain of command. But the Health Ministry told me my records were missing." Boaz Lev, the Health Ministry's spokesman chimes in: "Almost all the records were burned in a fire."
We are told that a US law in the late '40s put a stop to the human radiation experiments conducted on prisoners, the mentally feeble and the like. The American atomic program needed a new source of human lab rats and the Israeli government supplied it. Here was the government cabinet at the time of the ringworm atrocities:
Prime Minister - David Ben Gurion; Finance Minister - Eliezer Kaplan; Settlement Minister - Levi Eshkol; Foreign Minister - Moshe Sharrett; Health Minister - Yosef Burg; Labor Minister - Golda Meir; Police Minister - Amos Ben Gurion.
The highest ranking non-cabinet post belonged to the Director General of the Defence Ministry, Shimon Peres.
That a program involving the equivalent of billions of dollars of American government funds should be unknown to the Prime Minister of cash-strapped Israel is ridiculous. Ben Gurion had to have been in on the horrors and undoubtedly chose his son to be Police Minister in case anyone interfered with them.
Finance Minister Eliezer Kaplan was rewarded for eternity with a hospital named after him near Rehovot. But he's not alone in this honor. Chaim Sheba, who ran Ringworm Incorporated, had a whole medical complex named after him. Needless to say, if there is an ounce of decency in the local medical profession, those hospital names will have to change.
After the film ended, there was a panel discussion which included a Moroccan singer, David Edri, head of the Compensation Committee for Ringworm X-Ray Victims, and Boaz Lev, a spokesman for the Ministry Of Health.
TV host Dan Margalit tried to put a better face on what he'd witnessed. He explained meekly that "the state was poor. It was a matter of day to day survival." Then he stopped. He knew there was no excusing the atrocities which the Sephardi children endured.
But it was the Moroccan singer who summed up the experience best. "It's going to hurt, but the truth has to be told. If not, the wounds will never heal."
There is one person alive who knows the truth: Shimon Peres. The only way to get to the truth and start the healing is to investigate him for his role in the mass poisoning of over 100,000 Sephardi children and youth.
But here is why that won't happen. The film was aired at the same time as the highest-rated TV show of the year, the finale of Israel's talent-hunt show: "A Star Is Born." The next day, the newly-born star's photo took up half the front pages. There was not a word about "The Ringworm Children" in any paper, nor on the Internet. Until now.
