Illuminati? I understand the Bavarian Illuminati control the Boy Sprouts, who control the Democrats, who control the Semiconscious Liberation Army. Meanwhile, the Gnomes of Zurich control the International Communist Conspiracy, who control the Republicans, who control the Girlie Magazines. Fnord!

MANY CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND CONSPIRACY THEORISTS ARE SOCIAL CONTROL MECHANISMS. THIS VIDEO IS ONE PRIME EXAMPLE.
People like the author of the video want to imply a million things they can't or won't prove, but instead put YOU in the position of having to DISPROVE it. Meanwhile, they maintain that Al Qaeda _doesn't exist_.
But they set up the argument such that _you_ have to _disprove_ the illuminati, not that _they_ have to disprove Al Qaeda. Because they don't want to have to talk about the _real_ governments behind Al Qaeda, like (for instance) Pakistan's, with a nuclear deterrent and no clear way for us to deal with the situation once and for all.
And _that_ situation is exacerbated because the mainstream political parties suprisingly don't want to talk about the nuclear-armed state sponsors of Al Qaeda either.

This strikes me as the symbolic version of Mary McGrory and her elipses'.
Also known as crap, crap and more crap. Snowy, your entry sounds like something I read (re-read actually) from the Dune series. Isn't the a technique of the Bene Gesserit? ;^) Was Frank an illuminati hiding things in plain sight? Is it too early to start drinking?
Why is it that Socialist Politicians refuse to Practice What They Preach???
An unapologetic Danny Williams says he was aware his trip to the United States for heart surgery earlier this month would spark outcry, but he concluded his personal health trumped any public fallout over the controversial decision. Eh, screw youze, ya hosers! I'm important, eh! What would you do without me, eh?
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Williams said he went to Miami to have a "minimally invasive" surgery for an ailment first detected nearly a year ago, based on the advice of his doctors.
"This was my heart, my choice and my health," Williams said late Monday from his condominium in Sarasota, Fla. "I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics." You did that when you were born in Canada ...
The 60-year-old Williams said doctors detected a heart murmur last spring and told him that one of his heart valves wasn't closing properly, creating a leakage. He said he was told at the time that the problem was "moderate" and that he should come back for a checkup in six months.
Eight months later, in December, his doctors told him the problem had become severe and urged him to get his valve repaired immediately or risk heart failure, he said. His doctors in Canada presented him with two options - a full or partial sternotomy, both of which would've required breaking bones, he said.
He said he spoke with and provided his medical information to a leading cardiac surgeon in New Jersey who is also from Newfoundland and Labrador. He advised him to seek treatment at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. Eh, what da hell, Danny? Florida in February, eh? Want me to twist your arm, eh?
That's where he was treated by Dr. Joseph Lamelas, a cardiac surgeon who has performed more than 8,000 open-heart surgeries. Williams said Lamelas made an incision under his arm that didn't require any bone breakage.

Admiral Sestak refuses Secretary of the Navy job? Did the math I suppose. As a Senator he'd get three more years to work his progressive political criminal class magic. Seedy? Oh yeah.

And BTW, Williams is not exactly socialist. Though Progressive Conservative party seems like an oxymoron, it is ever so slightly right of center.
Also, he's got balls:
Williams attracted considerable national attention on December 23, 2004, when he ordered all Canadian flags removed from provincial buildings in reply to a dispute with then Prime Minister Paul Martin over his desire to shield Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore oil revenues from the calculation of its fiscal capacity, the basis for calculating equalization payments which redistribute wealth to poorer provinces.

I was in Newfoundland as a child, I remember one day in mid summer the temperature got all the way up to 70 Fahrenheit, and people were falling out with heatstroke.
Cold as hell. they had a wood plank aqueduct feeding water to St Johns that watered like a lawn sorinkler in summer, but froze over in winter and didn't leak then, the water inside didn;t freeze because it was moving swiftly, so it worke fine year 'round.

Former Rep. Pat Toomey (R) continues to lead his potential general election foes, Sen. Arlen Specter and Rep. Joe Sestak, by double digits among likely voters, according to a new Franklin & Marshall College Poll. Far more voters remain undecided, however, when Toomey is matched up against Sestak, both of whom are less well known around the state than Specter.

In the governor's race, more than two-thirds of voters remain undecided in both primary races, though Republican Tom Corbett leads Sam Rohrer by a significant margin. Contending on the Democratic side Dan Onorato, Jack Wagner and Joe Hoeffel. Chris Doherty has dropped out and newcomer Anthony Williams received just 1 percent support.
White House green jobs adviser Van Jones quit the post last year after he was dogged by past remarks and associations, but that isn't stopping the NAACP from awarding him one of its Image Awards -- and even calling him a "American treasure."
Jones, who served as an adviser to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, generated mounting criticism last summer, first for calling Republicans "assholes" during a videotaped address earlier in the year and then for signing a petition in 2004 supporting the "9/11 truther" movement, which believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The latter development, which came on top of several others, was perhaps the most devastating and led to calls for his resignation.
But Jones still has his share of outspoken supporters, and one of them is Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP.
"Van Jones is an American treasure," Jealous writes in an opinion piece posted at CNN.com. "He is quite simply one of the few Americans in recent years to have generated powerful new ideas that are creating new jobs."
Jealous cites Jones' book "The Green Collar Economy," his role in passing the 2007 Green Jobs Act and his work with low-income people in Oakland, Calif.
At the time of his resignation, Jones said the controversies had become an unceasing distraction, and he assailed his critics.
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide," Jones said.
Jones is considered a rising star in environmental circles. In addition to writing "The Green Collar Economy," he has co-founded and worked with several groups dedicated to helping low-income and minority communities -- often through green jobs and better environmental policy. He got his start as a San Francisco-area activist.
Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, speaking last year on "Fox News Sunday," called Jones' resignation a "loss for the country."
But critics raised questions about his fitness for a White House-level office, pointing to his radical activities a decade ago as well as more recent controversial stances.
Jones was a self-described "communist" during the 1990s and previously worked with a group dedicated to Marxist and Leninist philosophies. His comments, even in recent years, were often racially charged. He's blamed "white polluters and white environmentalists" for "steering poison" to minority communities. In 2005, he drew a distinction between white and black youths involved in shooting incidents by referencing the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.
"You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never," Jones said. "They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it's these suburban white kids.' It's only them!" he said. "Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He's not going to shoot up the whole school."
Such statements did not draw widespread attention until after a February video surfaced showing him calling Republicans "assholes" during an address in Berkeley, Calif. Jones apologized, but faced down his past again when it was discovered that he signed a 2004 statement calling on then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others to launch an investigation into evidence that suggests "people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war."
Jones afterward issued a blanket apology for his past statements and said the petition does not reflect his views. An aide said Jones didn't carefully review the petition at the time.
But that claim was swiftly disputed by 911Truth.org. "He did agree with that statement and he did sign on to it," 911Truth.org spokesman Mike Berger told Fox News in a telephone interview from St. Louis on Friday. Berger said the group's "original board members individually confirmed all signatories that had signed on to the statement."
The calls for resignation mounted. And lawmakers said the problems surrounding Jones spoke to the broader concern about so-called White House "czars," top advisers and officials who do not need congressional approval.

"He is quite simply one of the few Americans in recent years to have generated powerful new ideas that are creating new jobs."
"Powerful new ideas?" ....Sorry lad, Marxism, inflamatory name calling, "hate whitey" speech, and half-hearted apologies are hardly new. They've been around for quite a while now. Besides not being able to hold a steady job, is there anything else that he could possibly be honored for?

Yes, the NAACP as it is currently constituted, is at the tipping point of being an overtly racist organization. They're willing to susptend all sense of reality to defend their One. Why? That's the issue.

The Senate hearing on the proposed budget for the Environmental Protection Agency was dominated by Administrator Lisa Jackson defending the agency's declaration that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health. "The science behind climate change is settled, and human activity is responsible for global warming," Jackson said. The EPA's budget request "reflects the science - and positions the EPA to address this issue in a way that will not cause an adverse impact to the economy," she added.

Lisa Jackson could not pass the idiot test if she tried for the rest of her life.
Senator John Kerry vowed the United States would overcome the odds and approve action on climate change, as the United Nations set talks for April to help break a diplomatic logjam. Without offering a timetable, Kerry on Tuesday rejected assertions that it had become politically impossible for the Senate to finalize the first US nationwide plan to curb carbon emissions blamed for global warming.
"I'm excited. I know that's completely contrary to any conventional wisdom," said Kerry, a close ally of President Barack Obama and chief architect of the legislation. But I was never any good at 'conventional wisdom' anyway.
Kerry said he was working on a Senate compromise that could recraft a landmark climate bill that squeaked last year through the House of Representatives.
"I don't care how we do it. I just think we have to price carbon because we have to send that signal to the marketplace," the Massachusetts Democrat added. "We're on a short track here in terms of piecing together legislation," he told a forum sponsored by The New Republic magazine. "We're moving rapidly."
Kerry denied the Senate would focus only on the less controversial area of clean energy and not carbon. He quoted Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican who has joined forces with him, as saying such an approach would be "half-assed."
"An energy-only bill sends no price signal," Kerry said, arguing that curbs on carbon emissions would help transform the troubled economy by creating green jobs. You have a price signal, Jawn. It's $2.65 a gallon where I live.
The senior Democrat also recommended Michael Nash's documentary "Climate Refugees," which was screened out of competition at last month's Sundance Film Festival. The movie looks at humans displaced by disasters arising from ecological changes.
"There's a movie out called 'Climate Refugees,' which you need to see, because they're going to be millions of them - tens of millions of them - as we go forward," said Kerry. It'll probably win the next Nobel Prize, unless Barak is elegible again.
In a long-term strategy document released on February 1, the Pentagon identified climate change for the first time as a trigger of instability that could worsen conflicts.

"I don't care how we do it."
Summed that up. Obama seems to have a tough time picking 'close allies' who are any good.

When's "Economic Refugees" coming out. Because we're all gonna be starring in it.
And this shithead will be one of the producers...
By my count, that's five bills he's ever written in his entire Senate career (a freakin' fish hatchery and some other crap), which began in 1986. The others became of insignificant consequence; I would not bet against Kerry's hot hand in passing worthless legislation...
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
